Chapter 51 - Attracting Song Ye, the Falcon

When Qu Bai heard that, he smiled until he was going to grind his molar. Good job, Qin Zhan; you clearly knew that I invited you here to find a woman for you, and yet you are still acting ignorant. How harsh.

“This brother of mine, you’ve been a bachelor for over twenty years. You’re going to stay in a small place like Stone City for the next two years and you want to continue touching your gun, but your family members would probably find a good person for you. Do you think it’s better for you to pick one yourself than to let Old Master Qin pick for you?”

After he finished muttering, he saw the air around Qin Zhan become colder. He stared straight at the front and boomed. “Are you threatening me?”

Threaten? Qu Bai suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and his smile froze. Who on earth would dare to mess with Qin Zhan? For now, he had not found anyone; and he did not want to be the first person. Even if they had grown up together in the same big yard—among all of them, Qin Zhan would always be the most feared one.

“Sigh, okay, okay. It’s my fault for being too nosy. Just treat this as a friendly gathering, okay? I’ll go meet some friends of mine. You choose whether you want to meet girls or come just for a drink.” Qu Bai managed to escape on time as he held a wine glass and walked towards Zhao Zhen; he was pretty interested in the fella with her pretty antics.

Without a peacock by his side, Qin Zhan immediately found it much more peaceful. However, many women were coming and going within the venue, and some of them would go up to talk to him. Once they opened their mouths, they would ask about his car and flat situation, if he was running a business, if he was a socialite… and their eyes would always shine with stupid ideas.

Since young, Qin Zhan never liked this kind of event. After he finished the champagne in his mouth and kicked aside a socialite whose face he could not remember, he walked straight to the sofa in the lounge area.

In the southeast corner of the wide banquet hall, there was a semi-circle lounge area filled with all kinds of fruits and snacks. However, in this kind of event where everyone was socializing in the middle, there would be very few people in the lounge area.

Qin Zhan initially wanted some peace and quiet, but he did not expect there to be someone inside, who was not just an average person.

Seated on the black leather sofa was a girl with pearly white skin, and she was wearing a black toga dress. Under the light, her skinny collarbone looked even more defined; and her dress somewhat hid her thin legs which glowed slightly. Her face was very intricate and beautiful, and her long hair that extended to her waist had made her features even more defined. At one look, everyone would be mesmerized by her beauty and would not recognize the tender age behind the makeup, but this type of disguise could not escape Qin Zhan’s observations.Read more chapters at Listnovel.com

Besides, the moment Qin Zhan came in, the woman could not hide the mini camera behind her dress on time.

Once he sat down, the woman picked up the end of her dress and was about to leave, clearly in a guilty state. His sensitive military gut feeling made him interested. “Are you a reporter?”

His low voice successfully made the woman stop in her tracks as she turned around as if hesitantly to look at Qin Zhan. She nodded. “Mm, I sneaked in here. I just wanted to take some pictures and leave.”

“You don’t need to explain so anxiously.” Qin Zhan leaned against the sofa, and his eyes were as if a falcon’s that had locked its target. He raised his hand and pointed at her position earlier. “Sit.”

It was very hard to reject the pressure given by someone of a high class so Song Ye knitted her brows tightly in her heart as she sat down without a choice.

That was right. This woman who was dressed like a fairy was Song Ye.

Tonight, she specifically came into the venue very early to avoid everyone’s vision so that she could use her camera to take pictures of the business leaders and collect information about them when she went home. This would then allow her to know her enemies better, but she did not expect to attract an even bigger beast after avoiding the fox, Wang Yutang.

Qin Zhan.

She had met this capable, young major before on the train in Cloud City. Judging from her killer instincts—unless necessary, she did not want to interact too much with this man. Hence, when she bumped into him earlier, her first reaction was to escape.

Luckily, Qin Zhan did not recognize her and only treated her as a reporter he coincidentally met. In order not to alert him unnecessarily, she could only think on her feet.

“May I know why this Mister would look for me?” Song Ye revealed a smile and looked very shy as if her face had reddened when she saw such a handsome face.

She was a killer so she could instantly immerse into her role anywhere.

When a cowardly and innocent reporter met a powerful man, it was natural that her face would blush; and her heart would beat faster.

Hearing that, the investigative look in Qin Zhan’s eyes increased as he raised his index finger and knocked the leather sofa with it. Everyone who knew him would know that he was thinking of something in his mind. After a while, he extended his hand towards Song Ye and boomed in a voice that did not allow for any doubts. “Let me see the photos you took.”

Song Ye was taken aback as she instinctively held the corner of her skirt, and her fingers almost wanted to pick up the dagger she hid in the space. This was her first reaction when she was threatened by someone who had seen countless blood on his knife. However, she knew very clearly that her fifteen-year-old body was no match for Qin Zhan who had been on the battlefield for years.

In the middle of the sparks, she lowered her head and acted as if she was scared and hesitant before she finally moved her skirt and handed the thing up. She guaranteed once again. “I really just took some shots of the big characters. Nothing else.”

This time, Qin Zhan ignored her and used his big palm to look at the newest model of the camera. Suddenly, he started muttering a bunch of information. “M5 Mini Camera is made in Country M, and there aren’t many such products in the market. For now, this hasn’t been sold in Country Z.” When he just started in the military, he had seen such a camera in a bunch of shipments that came in.

Suddenly, Song Ye’s heart started beating a little faster as she never expected a person, who was trapped in the military, to have such knowledge about these advanced technologies. She thought fast and generously admitted. “Yes, I asked someone to buy this model from me overseas. I’ve liked this kind of thing since I was young.”

If a young person loved something, it was very easy for them to research it without sleeping and eating and even using all their money on it; this was undeniable.

Qin Zhan did not say if he believed her or not as he flipped the small window on the camera and could vaguely see each person’s face. If he expanded it, he should be able to see their portraits clearly. After seeing ten shots in a row, he handed the thing back to Song Ye.

Seeing his emotionless face, Song Ye felt that she was in an increasingly dangerous situation. She kept the thing and smiled. “Since there’s nothing else, I’ll get going.”

Once she finished her sentence, she stood up and was about to leave. However, when she was about to leave the sofa, the man opposite her moved; his actions were very fast, almost pouncing on her. After feeling such a sudden impact, Song Ye instinctively clenched her fists and wanted to hit the person and make him move back.

However, she suddenly thought of the venue and if she used her fighting skills… this second of hesitation had made her lose her chance.

Her wrist was trapped, and her entire body was pushed onto the sofa.
