Killer Queen (GL) - Chapter 28

The atmosphere in the room was strangely silent. The little nurse stood on the side, neither able to leave nor stay, so she had no choice but to stand completely still and silent like a wooden stake.

Luo Yu gritted his/her teeth, took a few deep breaths, and finally broke the silence.

“I’m sorry, I was too stubborn just now.” Luo Yu admitted the mistake reluctantly and awkwardly. After all, arguing with Luo Han would only hurt himself/herself. Now that Luo Han was angry, getting hit was for nothing, and getting scolded was for nothing. It wasn’t cost-effective for him/her at all.

Luo Han didn’t say anything, and Luo Yu’s heart immediately rose to his/her throat. “Don’t be angry, I’ll drink the porridge, okay?” Luo Yu carefully placated him/her piteously. Since childhood, Luo Yu was most afraid of Luo Han getting angry, not just afraid of being beaten, but also afraid of Luo Han being disappointed in him/her. When Luo Han’s face darkened, his/her mood would also become gloomy.

Luo Yu picked up the bowl, endured the discomfort, and ladled another bowl of porridge. Suppressing the nausea, he/she barely managed to swallow it. As soon as the bowl of porridge was finished, Luo Yu couldn’t help but rush to the bathroom and threw up violently.

Luo Yu’s complexion was extremely bad. His/Her steps were light and floating, as if he/she would collapse with a gust of wind. His/Her stomach was empty, and he/she felt a little hungry.

Luo Han didn’t say much, just wiped the corner of Luo Yu’s mouth with a tissue and carried him/her onto the bed.

Luo Han threw the pillow aside, letting Luo Yu lean directly on his/her shoulder. Luo Han scooped another bowl of millet porridge, took a spoonful, gently blew on it by his/her mouth, and fed it to Luo Yu.

Luo Yu gave a wry smile. The feeling of throwing up after eating was truly uncomfortable. The last two times felt like his/her intestines were coming out, and his/her chest was still tight. However, since the Queen was personally feeding him/her, how would Luo Yu dare to refuse? Even if it was poison, Luo Yu would have no choice but to obediently eat it.

This shows that serving the Queen came at a price. After being served for the bath, he/she was punished with a ruler and forced to kneel. After being served porridge, he/she threw up twice and almost got a whipping.

The millet porridge was still steaming. Luo Yu took a small sip. It tasted quite good. Lotus seeds, red beans, and lily bulbs were added to the millet porridge, making the taste sweet and delicious. For some unknown reason, this time he/she didn’t feel so nauseous and like throwing up. After drinking the porridge, his/her stomach felt warm and less painful.

Although Luo Han’s method was too forceful and completely disregarded human rights and democracy, if Luo Yu insisted on not eating anything, the stomach pain would only get worse.

“Listen, next time the Young Miss/Master doesn’t eat on time, you should directly pour the food down his/her mouth.” Luo Han said this to the little nurse.

The little nurse reluctantly agreed, secretly groaning in distress. Queen, if you dare to use such force on the Young Miss/Master, even if I ate the guts of a leopard, I wouldn’t dare to do that!

Luo Yi brought in a black whip. Seeing the calm atmosphere in the room, he also breathed a huge sigh of relief.

“Should I take this whip back?” Luo Yi asked the Queen for instructions.

“No need, leave it here. It might be used one day.” Luo Han instructed casually, completely disregarding the feelings of the person by the bed.

Luo Yu, nestled in Luo Han’s arms, flinched, his/her face looking unnatural. He/She glanced at the black and blue long whip, and the wounds on his/her buttocks seemed to start aching again.

“If you behave, I won’t hit you. If you get itchy for a beating, then…” Luo Han’s voice was very gentle, but Luo Yu felt a chilling wind blowing. To Luo Yu, a whip was more effective than a hundred words—this was a truth Luo Han always believed in.

Luo Yu shrank into the quilt, covering his/her face with the blanket, and mumbled, “I’m sleepy.” After eating and drinking, it was time to sleep.

Luo Yu tugged at the corner of the clothes of the person next to him/her, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Half a month later, over a dozen classmates came to the hospital to visit Luo Yu. The always aloof Xi Qi was also among them.

Luo Yu was chatting casually with his/her classmates while secretly glancing at Xi Qi, who was standing quietly in the corner. Xi Qi didn’t say a word, adhering to the assassin’s principle of keeping a low profile, yet his/her cold and stunning aura was still so dazzling amidst the crowd.

“It was just one look more in the crowd, And I could never forget your face again. Dreaming of a day when we might accidentally meet again, From then on, I began to miss you in solitude.”

Soothing music was playing in the ward. A group of people presented their gifts, and a bouquet of fresh lilies was placed on the bedside table. After the dozen or so people sat for a while, fearing they would disturb Luo Yu’s rest, they didn’t stay too long. From beginning to end, Xi Qi did not speak a single word to Luo Yu.

After the group left, Luo Yu looked at the pile of exquisite gifts and first unwrapped Xi Qi’s gift bag. Xi Qi’s gift looked very ordinary and unremarkable, easily lost among the pile of beautiful packaging at a glance.

Luo Yu opened the small white box. Inside lay a black mini pistol. The pistol was very small; its range was not far enough, and its accuracy was not high enough, but the advantage was that it was easy to carry and conceal. The mini pistol was only the size of Luo Yu’s palm, small and extremely delicate.

Luo Yu was quite fond of it. It seemed Xi Qi had put a lot of thought into choosing the gift. It must be new stock from that weapon store, Luo Yu thought. Luo Yu suddenly recalled the disguise outside that weapon store, the rows upon rows of dazzling adult items. What must Xi Qi think every time he/she passed those BDSM toys while buying goods?

The other people’s gifts seemed lackluster: cakes, dresses, music boxes, movie tickets—very boring, anyway. Luo Yu was more interested in things like katanas and pistols. Although luxury cars and yachts were nice too, no one could afford to send them.

Luo Han walked hurriedly down the hospital corridor. The slender, ten-centimeter high heels clicked loudly on the marble floor.

“Have the things been investigated clearly? Who exactly was fighting with Qianying when Little Yu was kidnapped?”

“Qi Sha, the assassin ranked second on the assassin list.” Luo Yi followed behind Luo Han, maintaining a distance one step behind Luo Han.

“Why was he there at the time?” If there hadn’t been an internal conflict in Qianying, Little Yu wouldn’t have been able to escape by chance. Luo Han couldn’t help but sigh at Luo Yu’s good luck. Otherwise, the person lying in the hospital bed now would be a corpse. Thinking of this, Luo Han’s eyes were sharp as knives, faintly revealing heavy killing intent.

“Qi Sha betrayed Qianying two years ago. This time, Qianying sent many top assassins to pursue and kill him. It’s just unclear how the Young Master/Mistress got involved.” Luo Yi was somewhat confused.

“I don’t care why. Anyone who dares to touch my Luo Han’s person shouldn’t expect to live in this world!” Luo Han sneered, his/her eyes becoming increasingly cold and fierce. “Have you found out who Qi Sha is?”

“This subordinate is incompetent. Qi Sha disappeared two years ago and is now hiding among the crowd, acting low-key. We have been tracing for a long time, but still have no clue.” Luo Yi lowered his/her head to ask for forgiveness.

The group who had just visited Luo Yu came face to face with them. The young men and women were chatting and laughing, the atmosphere light and lively. But suddenly, everyone unanimously fell silent, their expressions solemn, their chests heavy, unable to speak.

A sudden, inexplicable panic and unease spread through the crowd. The initially expressionless Xi Qi’s face changed slightly. His/Her hand instantly moved to the pistol at his/her waist, and his/her expression immediately became alert.

A heavy, crushing pressure, a suffocating fear that made it difficult to breathe, and faintly revealing dangerous killing intent.

Xi Qi had noticed the assassins arranged around the ward before: two outside Little Yu’s door, one by the water dispenser room, two outside the restroom, three in the corridor, and quite a few more assassins further away. They were disguised as doctors, nurses, and even patients, but the experienced Xi Qi recognized their true identities at a glance.

Although there were many assassins before, they were not enough to make Xi Qi feel threatened. After all, Xi Qi had completed an S-class mission, which involved assassinating a certain country’s political leader amidst more than fifty assassins. At that time, he/she moved freely through the dense crowd of assassins. By the time the assassin leader discovered the target was dead, Xi Qi was already more than ten kilometers away.

But the feeling now was different. A never-before-felt terror rushed over him/her, so oppressive and suffocating that even he/she found it hard to breathe. The assassin’s alertness was constantly radiating signals of danger, and his/her body instinctively wanted to flee immediately.

Xi Qi looked ahead and saw a man and a woman approaching. The man lagged slightly behind the woman, his movements quite respectful.

The woman was tall, with wavy brown hair and a ruby diamond ring on her finger. Her high heels had long, thin heels, yet the woman walked extremely steadily.

Xi Qi secretly sized up the person opposite him/her. That dazzling diamond ring likely concealed a mechanism. There were at least two daggers hidden in the black stockings, and a new model pistol was placed on her lower back. As for whether other weapons were hidden elsewhere, even the highly experienced Xi Qi was unsure.

This woman was like a mystery, a bomb. Every nerve in his/her brain was screaming “Danger, retreat quickly.”

The other young men and women were also drawn to Luo Han. The woman was sexy and alluring, radiating mature charm from head to toe, with eyes as cold as a knife, like a queen wearing a crown high above. However, Luo Han’s aura was too strong. An ordinary person who stole a glance would feel an irregular heartbeat, dizziness, fear, and panic, as if Death had firmly clutched their neck. So, the others only looked once before immediately lowering their heads, focusing on the polished floor.

This was the first meeting between Luo Han and Xi Qi. Neither side knew the other’s identity, but Luo Han still noticed Xi Qi in the crowd.

Xi Qi immediately withdrew his/her gaze, lowered his/her head, and walked forward expressionlessly, trying to act like an ordinary student.

Luo Han looked at Xi Qi meaningfully, without saying a word.

After Luo Han walked away, the group of people breathed a huge sigh of relief, as if they had just passed through the gates of hell. Many people were covered in cold sweat, their hands clammy, their bodies swaying, gasping for breath, their feet rooted to the spot, unable to move an inch.

The killing intent Luo Han momentarily emitted actually terrified ordinary people to this extent.

“Who was that person? Were they from the mob?” The girl next to Xi Qi patted her chest, feeling a sense of surviving a disaster. “I don’t know,” Xi Qi casually replied. However, he/she could probably guess the other’s identity. The surrounding assassins must be from the Luo Family. Judging by the person’s powerful aura, they should be a high-ranking figure in the Luo Family.
