Hongyan Chapter
Hongyan was a shadow, a shadow that belonged exclusively to the Hong family, and also their sharp blade.
This was a bit like the shadow guards of ancient times, but not completely different, because the members of the shadow guards were basically children from poor families, or orphans. Hongyan was different, the members of this special organization were all members of the Hong family, and most of them were collateral relatives. Hongyan was even more special, she was the daughter of the current head of the Hong family, and also the shadow that specialized in protecting her half-brother, Hong Xun.
Everyone knew in their hearts that Hongyan was being used as a tool. She could have been a beautiful young miss, but she had to undergo daily training, and even had to face life-threatening missions.
There was no helping it, because Hongyan was not the daughter of the Hong family, but an illegitimate daughter. Now, Madam Hong was extremely dissatisfied with her, and if not for her special constitution and talent for assassination, she would have kicked her out of the family long ago to fend for herself.
However, Hongyan was quite open-minded, and did not feel remorseful because of the grudges of the previous generation, nor did she hate her half-brother. On the contrary, the two of them got along quite well, and were closer than ordinary siblings.
It was common to see the two of them colluding to harm their neighbors, and the two of them even sided with each other. This made Madam Hong so angry that she could do nothing, and could only scold Hongyan indirectly every time. Worse, she would throw Hongyan into the ancestral hall to kneel for a whole night, but Hongyan, who had undergone special training, said that this was not a problem, and the next day, she would stroll around as if nothing had happened.
This time, the Hong family had joined forces with Family He. They had received information that Lan Shaoyu was preparing to make a move on the wife of the head of Family He, He Shaochen, and also the Princess Lilith of J Country. The head of the Hong family, Hong Qiushan, sent her to save her, but unfortunately, she was still a step too late.
When she arrived, all she saw was a sky full of red light.
She led people into the sea of fire, but did not find Princess Lilith, only a severely injured and dying man. She had seen this person in the character information before, and knew that he was Princess Lilith's executive officer, Adam.
She saw that he was still alive, and brought him back.
The story, also began at this place.
The Hong family.
"I heard that you have a man?"
A strong voice suddenly sounded in the room. Looking towards the source of the voice, one could see a handsome man in a dark blue shirt and white trousers leaning against the door.
This person was the eldest son of the Hong family, Hong Xun.
When Hongyan heard Hong Xun's words, she didn't even blink as she threw an apple at him. "Nothing good comes out of a dog's mouth. Who raised a man? This is Princess Lilith's executive officer, Adam. "
"Tsk."
Hong Xun quickly caught the apple that flew over and took a bite, leaving a big bite mark on it. He walked over and sneered, "Does an executive need you to be so considerate and take care of him? We've already done our best to bring him back. Whether or not he survives depends entirely on his luck. "
"Get lost. If we can save this person, Princess Lilith will definitely be very grateful to us. I heard that they have a good relationship, and we can gain a lot of benefits from it."
Hongyan snatched the apple from Hong Xun's hand and took a bite.
The apple was crisp, full, and sweet. It was one of her favorite fruits.
Hong Xun watched as Hongyan took a bite of the apple without any hesitation. His gaze stayed on the apple for a moment before he forced himself to look away. He snorted coldly. "Even so, you don't have to take care of him like this, right? Don't forget, you're my shadow. You just have to stay by my side. You don't have to take care of a stranger. Don't tell me you're taking care of him because you like him? "
There was a hint of jealousy in his words.
Hongyan had just taken another bite when she heard Hong Xun's words. She paused for a moment before moving closer with a smile and sniffing Hong Xun's body. Hong Xun felt a chill run down his spine. He pushed Hongyan's face away and frowned. "What are you doing?"
Hongyan rubbed her chin in all seriousness. "Why do I feel a sour smell coming from someone's body?"
Hong Xun flew into a rage when he heard this. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Hongyan jumped three feet into the air and put some distance between herself and Hong Xun. She smiled. "Why are you angry? Did I hit the nail on the head? "
She then rubbed Hong Xun's head. "Don't worry. Although that man is better looking and manlier than you, I'm not someone who forgets her friends over her lover. I'll continue to love you as my younger brother. Be good, don't be jealous ~"
Hong Xun was completely enraged and said in exasperation, "Hongyan, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll let the Special Forces punish you."
"How big of a grudge!"
Hongyan's eyes widened.
The Special Investigations Department was a place that punished traitors who didn't complete their missions or betrayed the Hong Clan. The methods were cruel, and those who entered would lose a layer of skin even if they didn't die.
Hong Xun saw that Hongyan was finally restraining herself and gave a cold snort.
Of course, he wouldn't let anyone punish Hongyan. However, this person's ability to anger others was too strong. If he didn't threaten her like this, she wouldn't know how to restrain herself. He turned around and said, "In any case, don't forget your identity."
Hongyan watched as Hong Xun left with a black aura. She rubbed her nose, feeling that she was being treated unjustly. She was only guarding this place because this man was too heavily injured. She was worried that his injuries would worsen after he woke up. In the end, wasn't she just trying to fight for more benefits for the Hong Clan? Why did Hong Xun make it sound like she was losing her sense of purpose?
She couldn't help but miss Hong Xun who loved to stick to her and call her sister when they were young. At that time, Hong Xun was so adorable. He would be scared to tears by a random caterpillar. She sent him to a tree and when he couldn't come down, he would also cry and call her sister. At that time, Hongyan really enjoyed being an older sister.
She didn't know when he became crooked. His temper was getting worse and worse, and his mouth was getting more and more vicious.
Hongyan couldn't help but remember that Hong Xun seemed to be meeting with the young miss of the Liu Clan a while ago. However, that young miss had disappeared recently.
That brat must have been dumped. That's why his temper was so bad. He even took out his anger on her. It was clear that he still hadn't grown up.
Hongyan was just thinking about how to comfort her "heartbroken" brother when she heard a muffled groan behind her. Hongyan turned around and saw that although Adam hadn't opened his eyes, he was starting to move. She knew that he was about to wake up.
She thanked the heavens in her heart. She could finally be free.
Just as she walked over, Adam opened his eyes. His memory was still stuck at the time when he was escaping with Qiao Qiao. When he saw Hongyan's unfamiliar face, he couldn't help but break up and attack her vitals.
Hongyan quickly dodged Adam's attack. Taking advantage of the fact that the other party was heavily injured and slow, she quickly pressed him onto the bed again. She pressed her hand against Adam's wound to prevent it from reopening if he moved too violently. She smiled and said, "Is this how people from J Country react when they see their savior?"
