Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 253

Chapter 253: Handing over Xiang Yu

Agent Lu stood at the edge of the docks, his eyes fixed on Peng Xiu. The night was thick, obscuring her features, but the soft light from the nearby lampposts cast a gentle glow on her side profile. She was stunning, her alluring eyes catching the light and making his heart flutter.

"By the way, did you know that Han Xin is fuckin gay?" Agent Lu’s voice broke the silence, his tone casual yet probing.

Peng Xiu’s fist clenched within her sleeve, a glint of anger flashing in her eyes. "What do you... what do you mean?" she stammered, struggling to mask her fury. She had no idea how Agent Lu had discovered Han Xin’s involvement with Xiang Yu.

Agent Lu chuckled, a gloating sound that grated on her nerves. "You didn’t know? Haha, let me tell you, we arrested Xiang Yu earlier. He came down to the bureau personally with his lawyer to save his boyfriend."

Peng Xiu’s eye twitched at the revelation. Han Xin had basically come out publicly with Xiang Yu. She had thought it was a fleeting affair, something that would eventually fade. But now, he had gone out of his way to get Xiang Yu out of jail. It was like a dagger to her heart, each word twisting deeper into her soul. Her unrequited love, the man she had silently adored for years, was now openly flaunting someone else to the world. The revelation was a cruel twist of fate, mocking her silent devotion.

Her rage seethed like a devil, a dark force that threatened to consume her. She clenched her fists, nails digging into her palms as she struggled to suppress the storm within. Her demon blood, which had been suppressed in this world, surged like a raging river of lava, threatening to break free from its confines. The wooden planks beneath her feet creaked under the weight of her turmoil. She could feel the heat of her anger radiating off her skin, a palpable force that seemed to warp the very air around her. Peng Xiu’s breath came in ragged gasps as she fought to regain control.

Agent Lu, oblivious to the danger, kept talking. "He is a damn gay. If the chief had known that beforehand, he should have sent Shen Shen instead. He looks like he can take it, right? You should have seen how he held Xiang Yu’s hand. It was like he was announcing it to the whole world. Like, hell, why not keep it to yourself... keep it in—"

Peng Xiu’s patience snapped. The air around her seemed to crackle with energy as she took a step forward, her eyes blazing with a fury that could no longer be contained.

Agent Lu’s words were abruptly cut off when he saw Peng Xiu holding a gun with a silencer, pointing it directly at him. His eyes widened in surprise, but he had no time to react. The silenced shot rang out, and he fell backwards into the water with a splash.

Peng Xiu walked to the edge of the pier, her pace calm and collected as if she hadn’t just shot someone. She pulled the trigger five more times at the water, ensuring that Agent Lu wouldn’t resurface. She stood there until the water returned to a soft ripple. Satisfied, she sneered and walked away.
