Hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu was completely stunned on the spot, her entire being was now shocked to the extreme. She never imagined that two years ago, such a dark thing would happen to Lu Yu!

Someone who was supposed to help her actually pointed a gun at her for a bit of profit; such an occurrence would plunge anyone into despair!

Especially when she saw three comrades, who shared life and death with her, die right before her eyes. Just the thought imagines how overwhelmingly oppressive and anguished Leng Qingqiu feels!

No wonder Lu Yu killed all the Flying Tiger Team members in a fury; no wonder he flew to Beigang City to hunt down Song Qiguang upon learning he survived, even intending to feed him to sharks!

Song Qiguang's actions truly deserve a thousand cuts; his death means nothing!

"Now"

At this point, Lu Yu looked at Leng Qingqiu in front of him and then spoke, "Do you still think it was too much for me to feed Song Qiguang to the sharks alive?"

Among the words, Lu Yu spoke extremely calmly, staring straight at Leng Qingqiu in front of him, speaking softly with a steady impression.

"No"

Upon hearing this, Leng Qingqiu shook her head and carefully said, "He deserves it!"

Upon understanding Song Qiguang's despicable behavior, Leng Qingqiu's thoughts changed; for someone like Song Qiguang, dying by shark's jaws was not excessive at all!

Hearing Leng Qingqiu's response, Lu Yu nodded, revealing a slight somber smile on his face.

In fact, Lu Yu didn't finish telling the whole story; many details were left unsaid.

However, Lu Yu decided not to continue, for further discussion would reveal the existence of the Assassin Alliance.

Currently, Lu Yu doesn't want to expose the existence of the Assassin Alliance; after all, the Assassin Alliance and the Victory Group are worlds apart.

Also, sometimes knowing too much does no good!

"Lu Yu"

At this moment, after pondering for a moment, Leng Qingqiu suddenly looked up seriously and asked Lu Yu, "Are you a good person?"

Lu Yu's experiences are bloody, dark, and oppressive, almost wandering in the world's dark corners.

Under the influence of these terrifying negative emotions, it is impossible to remain unstained; hence, after some thought, Leng Qingqiu still asked Lu Yu the long-pondered question.

That question is, "Is Lu Yu before me a good or bad person, righteous or evil?"

"No!"

Hearing Leng Qingqiu's question, Lu Yu straightforwardly spoke without any hesitation.

Throughout the past five years, his hands have been stained with countless blood, and many souls lost beneath his feet; reflecting on his actions, Lu Yu can hardly relate himself with the term 'good person'.

Upon this statement, Leng Qingqiu visibly trembled, her heart feeling as if struck by sudden force, a suffocated discomfort.

For some reason, hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu's heart suddenly became extremely miserable.

Five years ago, though Lu Yu indulged in pleasures, arrogantly, he retained a pure nature, especially towards her, appearing like an ungrown child, striving to please her.

Leng Qingqiu once heard a saying, wishing that after enduring storms and rains, one remains as youthful.

Yet, now facing Lu Yu, after five years' fleeting time, he is no longer the Lu Yu he once was.

At that instant, hearing Lu Yu assert he was not a good person, some part of Leng Qingqiu's heart was deeply touched.

"But"

Seeing the emotions flowing in the normally cold as ice Leng Qingqiu's eyes, Lu Yu slowly shook his head and said, "I am not a bad person either!"

Not a bad person!?

Upon hearing this, Leng Qingqiu suddenly trembled, then raised her head abruptly, asking Lu Yu, "Are you serious?"

Between words, some silent expectation appeared in her originally calm emotions.

In marketplaces where she kills decisively, the icy Queen Leng Qingqiu unexpectedly shows a hint of a girl's sentiment.

"Of course"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu nodded and smiled, saying, "Over the past five years, my hands may be blood-stained but questioning my heart, everyone who died by my hands deserved it!"

"So, although I'm not a good person, I'm definitely not a bad one either!"

Saying so, Lu Yu's mouth slightly uplifted into a serene smile, carrying a gentle warmth in it, looking quite soothing.

"Okay!"

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu solemnly nodded, appearing very earnest, watching Lu Yu ahead, unexpectedly revealing a faint smile never seen before on her beautiful face.

For some reason, hearing Lu Yu declare himself not a bad person, Leng Qingqiu's heart suddenly felt happy.

Now, perhaps even Leng Qingqiu herself did not realize, the iceberg in her heart was gradually melting.

Buzz!

At this moment, a clock sound abruptly resonated, a glance showing it was the sound from the antique clock in Leng Qingqiu's office.

Seen on the clock dial, it was precisely 6:30 PM.

Currently, it's Victory Group's off time.

"Off work"

Glancing at the clock, Lu Yu said calmly, with a hint of deep smile, "Don't work overtime today, I'll take you home."

"Hmm"

Hearing this phrase, Leng Qingqiu nodded, naturally agreeing.

If it were usual, she would certainly reject such an invitation, as after-hours overtime is her usual work pattern.

But now, for some reason, Leng Qingqiu unusually doesn't want to work overtime today; upon hearing Lu Yu's words, she didn't reject as usual with coldness but responded with a nod like a young girl.

Seeing Leng Qingqiu agree so swiftly, Lu Yu felt quite surprised; yet, he smiled and understood.

After all, everyone changes; Leng Qingqiu's change is quite normal.

Thinking about this, Lu Yu smiled slightly and then spoke to Leng Qingqiu, "In that case, let's go then."

Upon hearing this, Leng Qingqiu nodded and then slowly went alongside Lu Yu out of the CEO's office towards the elevator.
