Chapter 772 I“m not a janitor

Liu Shan and Lin Hui nod their heads, but both men had a blank expression. If it had been someone else who spoke about Fate, they would have silenced the person.

As anyone who knows too much about Fate will use it to harm each member.

However, their situation here was different as this person is Xu Long.

Knowing each other had been a short time, but he is someone they consider to be a comrade then now a brother.

Seeing their response, Xu Long subconsciously nods his head like an old man.

He had his suspicion from the moment he set foot inside De L'amour. It had only been a handful of times. However, from careful observation, he noticed that the employees there gave off a strange vibe.

Each person seemed to be working on their own assignments, but he was sure that they were wary of him. They also paid careful attention when they walk around. It was like they were bodyguards rather than your average company workers.

Also, they don't act like coworkers. They made him feel like he had walked into a family-owned business instead of a cooperate one.

He noticed another thing, and it has been on his mind for a while now.

He looks at Liu Shan then to Lin Hui.

"If Liu Shan is the assistant, what does that make you? A janitor?"

He had to ask because every time he goes to De L'amour, he never sees Lin Hui. It was always outside that they would meet.

Not only that, but he also hasn't once seen a janitor in the company too.

With this in mind, he can only conclude that Lin Hui is the janitor. So, when he (Xu Long) pays a visit, he (Lin Hui), probably embarrassed about his position, would hide somewhere.

"*Cough. What the heck?! *Cough."

Lin Hui chokes on his saliva and coughs multiple times at the man's assumption. He pats his chest to calm himself before sending a glare.

"Why would you assume I am the janitor? And even if I were, don't look down on janitors. They work harder than anyone else in a company."

Not expecting this kind of response, Xu Long was shocked to the core. His eyes widen, and he covers his mouth with a muffled gasp.

"So I am correct then. You are a janitor. No wonder you said my floor was dirty. You clean for a living."

"…"

Lin Hui's eyelids turned heavy like someone had taped them to keep him from opening his eyes. His expression was so dark that he clenches his fists to hold himself back. If he doesn't do this, he swore he would march right over to Xu Long and strangle the man to death.

Even he can't help but want to cut the man's head open and see what is making him think this way.

Oblivious to the grin look on Lin Hui's face, Xu Long moves his hand away from blocking his mouth. He places his palm on his chest and sighs deeply.

He puts on a serious yet pitiful expression as he stares at Lin Hui.

"Don't worry. Janitor or not, your secret is safe with me. I will never abandon a good friend like you."

He gestures a fist pat on his chest and points to the man. His movement was as if saying, 'I got you.'

Lin Hui was once again dumbfounded. He had been sarcastic this entire time, but Xu Long didn't seem to grasp the picture at all.

Liu Shan's shoulders lightly tremble as he listened to the conversation. He presses his lips tightly together to keep himself from fighting with his inner demon.

However, having lost the battle, he sounds a snort before bursting into a peal of loud and hysterical laughter.

"Janitor? Lin Hui, a janitor? Good Lord, I really wish to see that happen before I die!"

Hearing the man laugh like everything in life was nothing but a big joke to him, Lin Hui frowns, and Xu Long blinks his eyes in confusion.

"Why are you laughing so hard like a drunk man? What's so funny? Tell me, I want to laugh too."

Xu Long asks with a muddled expression. However, Liu Shan continues to laugh while holding his stomach.

"He's laughing because of your ridiculous assumption."

Lin Hui answers the question in a low growl. He didn't hide his sulking expression like he had eaten something that left a bad taste in his mouth.

He sends a side glare at Liu Shan then moves his line of sight to Xu Long. He eyes the man from head to toe, then scoffs arrogantly.

"Seriously, with the way your mind works, sometimes I wonder how you even qualified to be Lu Tian's assistant."

"What is that supposed to mean?"

Xu Long's face turned crimson red, and he didn't hesitate to retaliate. His back arcs forward, and he stuck his chest out.

"At least I qualified to be my boss's assistant. Unlike you, who only qualified to be a janitor."

His words fell in ridicule but also in a taunting way. However, he didn't care because no one has ever questioned his capabilities like this.

Lin Hui rolled his eyes and scoffed a chuckle. He really can't believe that Xu Long actually thinks of him like this.

"There you go again, saying I am a janitor."

He raises one hand, rubs his forehead to rid of any frustration rising. He lowers his hand and leans back on the couch.

"I told you, I'm not a janitor and don't look down on them. It's mean and rude."

He raises his hand again and curls it into a fist. Moving it to the front of his neck, he motions it's across like he was slicing his throat.

"I am a contract killer."

Xu Long gasp then nods his head with a faint, "Ah, I see."

He had really thought Lin Hui was a janitor. However, hearing that Lin Hui is actually a contract killer, everything made more sense.

Contract killers are involved in illegal agreements with their providers and have to stay low to not reveal any true motives.

Now he understands why Lin Hui is so good at what he does.

Then again, why be a contract killer….

He thought the question in his head, but at that moment, it was like someone had slowly poured a bucket of ice-cold water over him.

After a long minute passes, he darts his head to look at Lin Hui, and he stutters.

"Y-Y-You're a c-c-contract k-killer?!"
