Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Chapter 901: History repeats itself

Alix stepped out in the open compound and breathed out in the cool night air. When she saw a hotel attendant pass by, she stopped her and asked her something. The attendant nodded and went inside.

As she waited, she suddenly sensed a bad foreboding and jerked her head back. She couldn't see it clearly but a figure in a black coat moved across the compound. She didn't know why or who he was but a chill arose in her back.

A few minutes later, the sound of Jin's shoes pressed against the ground. He blinked at her lonely figure and stood beside her. He was puzzled as to what Alix would need from him.

"You asked the attendant to call me?"

"Thought to help you out a bit," Alix shrugged.

"Help?" Jin was suspicious.

"Don't look at me like that. I am not going to eat you."

She took out a cigarette and passed it to him. Jin stared at it and looked back at her. "Why are you giving it to me?"

"Because you need it."

"...How are you so sure?"

Alix smirked. "Considering what you are going through, I bet you need more than just one. It's fine. Life sucks for everyone."

His eyes narrowed. "If you are talking about Shui and-"

"I am talking exactly about them."

"You are over analyzing things."

"Am I now?" She arched her brow. "Weren't you so fierce six years ago? You couldn't see Han Shui hurt at all, but now…"

Jin took a step ahead with a cold smile on his lips. "I thought you changed. I genuinely believed it. But here you are trying to put things in my head that I am not even thinking about."

"Then you shouldn't be needing cigarettes."

"I don't smoke."

"Nice try," she smiled.

Jin's brow twitched.

What does she want? Did she change her tactics?

He couldn't read her intentions at all. From her words, he strongly felt like she still loved Yuze and so might be planning to separate them using him.

"I don't like him," she plainly said, reading his gaze.

He scoffed. "Then you wouldn't call me out to talk about them. You like him and you think that I like Shui so you want us to join hands?"

"I just wanted to give you a cigarette."

"No thanks."

"So edgy," she clicked her tongue.

She thought he would leave, but he didn't. He wasn't particularly eyeing the cigarette in her hand but was simply standing in silence, staring ahead.

"I thought you will leave."

"Is it a crime to enjoy the view here?"

"Because the view inside burns your heart?" She chuckled.

Jin stared at her, speechless. "You…have a very bitter tongue."

"If your feelings are innocent as you claim, then my tongue wouldn't feel so bitter to you."

His gaze darkened. Alix surely had changed since the last time he saw her but he couldn't fathom the meaning behind this change.

Did she still want Kang Yuze or not?

Alix shrugged at him and looked away when she noticed Ai hastily walking out of the hotel. She stopped and was looking around worriedly as if searching for somebody.

She didn't care at first but the familiar chill of just a few minutes ago made her shiver again. From the corner of her eye, she caught the figure of the same man in a black coat at some distance behind Ai. He watching her and ever so slowly inching towards her with careful steps.

What the…

Suddenly, she froze.

At the same time, Jin saw Ai as well and his brows furrowed.

"What is she looking for?" He murmured to himself.

He thought to ask her himself and had just moved when Alix suddenly and sharply leapt forward. His eyes widened.

What is she…?

Ai was still anxiously pacing around and didn't notice the figure creeping behind her. But Alix was already running towards him at full speed. She was figuring out what to do with a lack of a weapon when the heavens smiled at her.

One of the male servers of the hotel was hurriedly passing by carrying a plate of a big cake in his hands. It had a cake knife placed beside it.

Not the perfect choice but something is better than nothing, she thought.

Alix grabbed the cake knife, making the server stumble back in shock. "H-Hey where are you taking that away!"

She didn't bother answering and continued her dash towards the suspicious man. He was fully focused on Ai so he did not notice at first. He approached closer to Ai, but he soon felt somebody's rapid footsteps approaching him.

He turned to take a took and was shocked to see a woman madly chasing him with a knife in her hands.

What the…!?

He didn't waste his time to think because he could see Jin rushing towards Ai from the other side too. He took a turn to the other side to disappear in the dark bushes when a sharp stab suddenly jolted him in immense pain.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Ahead, Ai jolted with the sudden cry and looked back. A strange man's back faced her with Alix stabbing his leg.

"You okay!?" Jin ran breathlessly and asked. A few seconds later than Alix, he too, noticed a strange man quietly approaching Ai. Alarm bells rang in his mind but Alix's actions shocked him even further.

The man tremblingly looked back and was horrified to see blood oozing out of his leg.

Alix had plunged the cake knife deep into the back of his right thigh with all her force. Since it wasn't a sharp one like its counterparts, Alix had to put more strength into her attack and it worked.

"W-what the hell are you doing!?" His heart pounded hard in his chest.

Alix's eyes squinted dangerously with a cold and twisted smile lifting her lips upwards, making him shudder.

She moved closer and whispered with an eerie so that only he could hear her. "Long time no see, Cai Lingyun. I guess one death by my hands wasn't enough for you that you walked right towards it yet again. How history repeats itself so wonderfully~"
