The next morning, Hong Cha nearly threw herself out of the window just to escape.

  Who said she agrees to be a psycho's pacifier?!

  Only this morning did she get to know the plot thoroughly. The male lead is a psycho but the female lead was able to cure him. As for Lou Fencha, she was his tool for venting his frustrations and Lou Fencha never had a good time with him. Lou Fencha feared him the most. She tried to ask for her brother's help but she couldn't even contact them. This made Xu Qin Rui angry and Lou Fencha was tortured to the brink of death.

  Fortunately, Xu Qin Rui became so busy with the female lead that Lou Fencha escaped. Unfortunately, he caught her and had her killed. Lou Fenbing, her brother, is an assassin too with medicinal knowledge who had saved Shanlong's boss, another mafia leader. He received help from the Shanlong organization and tried to avenge his sister. Additionally, Lou Fenbing and Xu Qin Rui became enemies because the female lead kept getting stuck between their battles.

  [Host, don't kill yourself!]

  "I have to! I want to abort this mission!"

  Hong Cha cried in her heart and held an ancient-styled hairpin close to her throat. She can accept any role but is not a side character who was tortured terribly!

  "Hey, what are you doing?"

  Just then, a calm, charming voice asked, but it made her hair stand on its end instead. Hong Cha gulped when a cold hand took the hairpin from her. Xu Qin Rui placed the hairpin gently on her hair. He sniffed but the fragrant camellia scent was nowhere to be sensed. His brows furrowed a bit. Xu Qin Rui kissed her neck as Hong Cha flinched, fearing what he would do.

  "Are you trying to kill yourself?"

  "I don't want to stay here." she carefully said.

  The previous Lou Fencha insulted Xu Qin Rui on the first day they properly met. This made Xu Qin Rui enraged, and she had her caged like a dog. Hong Cha doesn't want to live like that...

  "Oh. This mansion is wide. I can offer a doghouse for you if you want small places." Xu Qin Rui whispered with a grin.

  "I meant to say I want to live with my brother. If you bring me back to him, I will act as if nothing happened." Hong Cha negotiated but she only heard him titter.

  Xu Qin Rui placed a collar on her neck and with a click, it locked. She tried to remove it, but it won't come off.

  "You can go outside but return before dinner. There's a restraining device in it. If you dare to flee, I will track you down. Nothing can remove it than me." He held her jaw and made her face him.

  Xu Qin Rui was intrigued to see her cold expression. This is why he asked for her. He wants to prove that he can dominate the most heartless killer in Asia.

  "Be obedient, en? Or I will have to bring your brother here as well and feed him to sharks. Do you want that to happen?"

  "... No." Hong Cha turned her head.

  How did the female lead calm this psycho? She doesn't even have the heart to stay in a room with him. Hong Cha blinked and her submissive look became frosty. She pushed his hand before heading to the bed.

  "Where's my bag?"

  "I had someone burn them." Xu Qin Rui received a look of disbelief from her.

  Why won't he burn it? It has lethal weapons. Lou Fenbing must have given it to her. He's the brain of Shanlong and most devices that assassins used from Shanlong were created by him. Furthermore, Lou Fencha was his only family left, even if they were not blood-related.

  "Despicable!" She recalled Lou Fencha placing her ATM card in her bag.

  Hong Cha has no choice but to sit down and think about where to get money. It's impossible the psycho in front of her will give her even a penny. She can give it a try. The original Lou Fencha would have enraged Xu Qin Rui by now but Hong Cha made a good start. She raised her head to meet his gaze.

  "I will not run away or do anything against your wish. I just need to see my brother. If I can't show up within 24 hours, he'll be worried. My brother is not ordinary and I can guess you know his background."

  "Of course. Lou Fenbing has been sending a lot of assassins to my door lately. But I wonder why he never sent you?" He leaned down as Hong Cha intuitively inclined backward.

  Xu Qin Rui pinched her chin and touched her lip with his thumb. Quite soft and moist, he wanted to take an angry bite. Still, he controlled his urge so she could have some rest for a while.

  "Why not come with me? I have a schedule outside, and take this opportunity to meet with Lou Fenbing as well."

  "In private. I don't want him to get in trouble." Hong Cha wouldn't want Lou Fenbing to be killed early.

  He and Xu Qin Rui held a grudge against each other. What if Xu Qin Rui takes advantage of her request to finish Lou Fenbing? She must not let that happen since Lou Fenbing is the most important person in Lou Fencha's life. If he dies, Hong Cha will surely be affected by Lou Fencha's emotions. This is just a borrowed body and it's not hers. Lou Fencha's consciousness was just trapped which is why Hong Cha can control her body. But if something happens to Lou Fenbing, her consciousness might awaken.

  "Miss Fencha, you forgot something. Who am I again? Who owns you now?" Xu Qin Rui's unreadable gaze became dangerous. His hold on her chin tightened.

  "Xu Qin Rui, a madman who loves illegal activities." Hong Cha glared. Xu Qin Rui tittered and suddenly bit down her lips. She pushed him away in pain. Her lower lip bled since he bit her forcefully. "Are you crazy?!"

  "You just said I'm a madman." his eyes gleamed mysteriously.
