" Tha...That's impossible," Lu Biyu's fingers twitched as she stared at Song Yan. If possible she of course would like to earn a hundred million yuan in just a few months but for people like her who were born with a dirt spoon in their mouth without any education or background, earning such a large sum of money was simply impossible.
How in the world was she going to earn such a big amount when she had nothing?
" Please don't joke with me," she tried to laugh it off generously as she didn't want to offend the new boss of her brothers but she still kept her words curt.
"I am not joking with you," replied Song Yan in an offhand voice, she didn't seem offended by Lu Biyu's words instead she looked at Lu Biyu with an understanding look on her face. " I understand that you might be thinking that I am joking with you but I am not, I am being very serious here. If you agree to my terms then you will be able to earn the said sum of money with ease."
Lu Biyu gulped dryly when she heard that Song Yan was being serious, her fingers twitched again and she wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, she patted the back of her hand on her mouth. " You…you are serious? I can earn... I really can earn a hundred million yuan?"
Song Yan nodded. " Not only can you earn a hundred million yuan, but maybe you will be able to earn even more as long as you are smart enough."
The offer was too tempting, the woman was actually offering her a hundred million yuan, not a hundred yuan..not a million yuan but a hundred million yuan!
Lu Biyu was obviously tempted by the offer that Song Yan has given her but she didn't agree to her proposal at once instead she licked her lips and asked carefully, " If this includes killing or hurting anyone then I …."
" Of course not, I will not ask you to kill anyone," replied Song Yan with a smile. " But of course, what you need to understand is that the bigger the reward the more dangerous the task will be. Are you willing ?"
When Lu Biyu heard that there will be dangers involved she wanted to refuse but then she thought about the hundred million yuan and all the things she would be able to do with it.
The woman was right, if she wanted to earn that big of a reward then she will have to take some risks. Without taking risks she wouldn't be able to earn such a big sum.
" What do I have to do?" She asked after she was done thinking through everything.
" Does that mean that you are agreeing?" asked Song Yan, she needed Lu Biyu's confirmation lest she pulls back later on. " You wouldn't be able to pull back once you agree to my proposal."
"I agree," the lure of a hundred million yuan seemed to be working, and now that Lu Biyu decided that she wanted to do it, she didn't think twice before agreeing.
" Very well," Song Yan said as she took out the human skin mask from the pocket of her coat and then placed it on the table in front of Lu Biyu. " First you need to wear this," when she noticed that Lu Biyu looked slightly sickened upon seeing how alive the mask looked as if it has been peeled off a human just a few minutes ago, she added. " You don't need to worry, it won't bite you."
" Is this …" Lu Biyu was even scared to say the words out loud but Song Yan already understood what she meant, so she nodded and answered Lu Biyu's unspoken question, " This is indeed made up of human skin but it is safe for you to use." She quickly added when she saw Lu Biyu's face blanch.
" You want me to wear this?" Lu Biyu asked with a shaky voice as she looked at the mask unwaveringly.
" I already told you that the greater the rewards, the greater the risk… do you still want to do it? If not I can look for someone else."
Song Yan wasn't someone who would ask anyone the same question thrice, if they agree then it was all well and good if they don't then it was all right as well.

" I ..it won't harm me right?" This was the only thing that Lu Biyu was worried about, even though the human skin mask looked creepy but the prize of wearing it was a hundred million yuan, for that much sum of money she would be willing to dance naked on the streets.
" No, it won't."
When Lu Biyu heard that the human skin mask wouldn't hurt her, she gingerly picked it up and then carefully stretched it so that she would be able to wear it. Fortunately, the human skin mask didn't smell like blood and flesh.
And Lu Biyu was able to pull the mask down her face.
As soon as she pulled the mask on her face, Lu Biyu knew something was wrong. Like a bunch of parasites sticking to her skin, the mask latched onto her face and then a horrible sensation of her skin melting and morphing made her gasp.
The pain was so severe that Lu Biyu felt that someone was drilling several needles in her skin, she yelped and grunted in pain and when the sensation finally stopped she swore it was like being able to breathe again.
" What was that …" she began to ask but then she paused when she heard her voice. Lu Biyu blinked her eyes as she raised her hands and started to pat her face, soft jade-like skin … small nose, full lips and her voice, it was simple yet full of sensualness.
What the …?
She looked at Song Yan who was smiling and nodding with her curled forefinger resting on her chin. " This doesn't look so bad."
What does not look bad?
Lu Biyu scampered to her room as she pushed herself off the couch and then as the minutes ticked by a scream echoed in the silent house of the Lu brothers.
