"Have you gone mad?" Su Yanyan questioned. "If Long Xun knew about us then do you think we would be still alive and having this conversation?" she raised her brows.

"B-but, why do I feel like he — "

"Look old man Qin, if Long Xun knew about our plan then he would have killed me first and then he would kill you." she smiled. "So, stop assuming things and let me enjoy my breakfast peacefully."

Housekeeper Qin glanced at her quietly and he pondered over her words. Even though what she said made sense, he felt as if something was wrong. His gut feeling was telling him that something big was going to happen.

He recalled the time when Long Xun smashed that alcohol bottle on his head in anger and he wondered whether Long Xun knew something about him. What if he knew about him? What if he is planning something secretly?

"Stop worrying, " Su Yanyan said interrupting his thoughts. "You'll add more wrinkles to your ugly face." she joked.

Housekeeper Qin ignored her words. He was so worried regarding Long Xun that even if Su Yanyan was insulting or mocking him, he didn't feel bad. He treated her words as if they were air and he put his focus on the more important matters.

"I think he knows something," he announced seriously.

"Oh please!" Su Yanyan rolled her eyes. "Do you not know Long Xun? If he knew something, do you think he would keep us alive?" she asked.

Housekeeper Qin shook his head. He knew about Long Xun more than Su Yanyan. If Long Xun really about his betrayal, then he wouldn't keep him alive. So is he worrying too much?

"Look, forget about this. Even if he knew something, we still have to carry on with our plan," she explained. "And I don't want our plan to fail because of you. So, stop worrying and start thinking about the next part of the plan."

Housekeeper Qin nodded. He expelled all of his worries and all of his concerns regarding Long Xun. Su Yanyan was correct. If he thinks more about these matters, then it would affect him while executing the plan. And Housekeeper Qin wasn't going to take that chance. Today was a do or die situation for him so he focused on everything he needed to do for the plan to work out perfectly.

Seeing that he had stopped worrying, she sighed in relief and resumed eating her breakfast. Internally, she was also hoping for Long Xun to doubt. There were so many loopholes in her acting, in her plans and she wanted him to catch onto that. She knew he was a very intelligent person and maybe if he caught something, he will start investigating the truth.

If something like that happens, would he help her? Would he understand that she was forced to do all of this to him against her wishes? Would he forgive her?

She didn't know if he knew something or if he was completely clueless. For now, she could only act according to the next part of the plan.

"Where are all the bodyguards and the servants?" she asked.

"Leaving a few who are on our side, I have sent everybody away," Housekeeper Qin answered.

"Long Xun didn't question you?" she asked with a surprised look.

"He was so tensed and worried about the sleeping incident that he didn't notice anything, " Housekeeper Qin shrugged.

"You know what you have to do next right?" she asked.

"I know, " Housekeeper Qin smiled confidently. He was in a very good mood when he thought about the plan. Finally, everything was going to end. So many years of deceiving, of planning, of betrayal.... everything was going to be exposed today to Long Xun.

He smirked thinking about his Boss. She would be so happy to see her plan, her hard work, her revenge being successful. He was happy for her. Finally, she can achieve her motive and put an end to this burning hatred for the three families.

Seeing the joy on his face, Su Yanyan felt so mad. Her hand clenched in fury and her eyes fell on the knife placed in front of her. If she could, she wanted to kill this Housekeeper Qin with that knife and feed his body to the dogs.

She wasn't an innocent person. Her hands were also stained with blood. But she never harmed any innocent people to achieve her motive. She was straightforward in doing anything be it revenge or something else. She didn't like to use people's weaknesses to force them to do something. However, this housekeeper, that old hag, and that man in the dungeon loved to use people's weakness.

If her beloved person wasn't in the hands of these wicked people, she wouldn't be here in the first place. Only for him, she was hurting an innocent person. Only for him, she was helping bad people. Only for him, she was playing a part in this stupid revenge.

Su Yanyan sighed. Seeing that Housekeeper Qin was still immersed in his little happy bubble, she despised him even more. Her hand itched to tear that ugly smile from that wrinkled face. Why was this person still smiling when she was filled with so much guilt?

"Stop smiling so much. You look more ugly than you already are." she sneered.

Housekeeper Qin was irritated when his beautiful dream bubble was broken but he had to bite the bullet, ignoring her taunts and still keep on smiling at Su Yanyan. Who made her not work for his Boss? Who knows maybe once the deal is done, he will get a chance to show her his strength?

"Don't even think about it, " she smiled.

"What?"

"Once the deal is done, do you think you will be able to kill me?" she asked.

Housekeeper Qin was startled. His eyes widened in shock for he didn't understand how she got to know what he was thinking about but facing her, he quickly controlled his expressions and didn't show any fear of being caught on his face. "What are you saying? I didn't — "

"It's all written on your face, " Su Yanyan snorted.

"Anyways, where is Long Xun?" she asked as his eyes flickered towards the entrance again and again.
