Chapter 355: Burden

"Long Xun, how was your mission? Was it successful?" Housekeeper Qin inquired eagerly.

"Ah! That stupid mission, " Long Xun scowled with a roll of his eyes, "Uncle Qin, don't ask me about that mission. It was terrible."

"What?"

" I failed. That guy ran away before we could even catch him. A total waste of my time...." Long Xun sneered, informing everything that happened while he was on his mission to Housekeeper Qin.

"Then what about that girl? Who is she? Why did you bring her here?" Housekeeper Qin asked. He wanted to know about this yesterday but Long Xun was too tired to tell him anything. He was very curious about that girl's identity because he knew that Long Xun wouldn't bring any unknown girl in his home.

Was she the person that his Boss was talking about? Housekeeper Qin remembered that the last time when he has spoken to his Boss, he was informed that someone would exchange his position in the Long Mansion. Was she that person?

After thinking about this possibility, Housekeeper Qin quickly denied it. No, it can't be. The girl was all skins and bones, her whole body was covered with wounds. She didn't look like the person capable to replace him.

"Burden! That's what she is." Long Xun frowned when he thought about that girl.

"When we reached that rat's hideout, we saw that girl inside a cage. Boss said to keep her here for a while and to see whether she is a trap from the enemy's side or whether she can give us any information on that rat, " Long Xun explained.

"Oh!" Housekeeper Qin nodded. He recalled all the wounds on that girl's body and looking at her, it didn't look like she was from the enemy's side.

"Do you think that the enemy must have kept her there for us?" Housekeeper Qin asked.

Long Xun shrugged, "Who knows? I don't care if she is an enemy or a victim. I just want to know information about Xavier and send that burden away."

Housekeeper Qin nodded.

"So how's our Mr. Li Youbin doing in the dungeon?" Long Xun asked. "I hope you have taken great care of him in my absence."

"Don't worry Xun, I have taken great care of him." Housekeeper Qin answered with a lie because he knew that Long Xun wouldn't check whether he had tortured Li Youbin or not.

"That's good, " Long Xun smiled thinking that Housekeeper Qin might have tortured and tormented Li Youbin greatly.

After Long Xun has finished eating his breakfast, he got up and started walking towards the dungeon. At first, he was going to talk Li Youbin and torment him some more but then he changed his mind and decided to visit the girl first.

"So where have kept the girl?" he asked.

"Come with me, " Housekeeper Qin said as he led Long Xun toward another side of the dungeon. As soon as they neared the cell in which the girl was kept, Long Xun frowned. This part of the dungeon was not very clean and he rarely used the cells here.

"I am sorry, Long Xun. I wasn't sure where to keep the girl so I placed her here, " Housekeeper Qin apologized quickly when he saw the frown on Long Xun's face deepening.

Long Xun shook his head. With a sigh, he replied, "It's not your fault, Uncle Qin. I was the one who didn't tell you where to place her."

"Anyways, let go and meet that burden," Long Xun said before he entered the room in which the girl was kept.

"Hello Boss, " Layla greeted cheerfully when she saw Long Xun entering the room.

Long Xun nodded.

The insides of the room was very dull and dark. It was a small room only consisting of a bed on which the girl was lying. She was still unconscious. Long Xun walked closer to the bed and he took a close look at the girl.

He noticed that the girl's clothes were changed which might be probably done by Layla and all the dirt on her body and face was cleaned. Upon a closer look, Long Xun was surprised to see that girl was actually beautiful. She had a fair complexion with a small face, long black eyelashes, and pink cherry lips. In short, she looked cute just like a sleeping beauty waiting for a prince to kiss her and wake her up.

"Why is she still unconscious?" he asked still looking at her beautiful face. He wondered what the color of her eyes might be. Were her eyes as beautiful as her face?

Just as Long Xun was wondering, he suddenly realized where his thoughts were heading to. Shocked by his own thinking, Long Xun was taken aback and he took a step back from the girl.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath to get his mind straight. What was wrong with him? He never felt like this for someone before. He has seen so many women in his life yet he didn't felt like they were attractive or beautiful.

In his eyes, there is only Li Xiaolu who can be described as "beautiful". Then why did he think like this today?

Humph! There is no one else in this world who can be more beautiful than Li Xiaolu. He must be imagining things. It seems like he is still tired and needed to sleep more.

Long Xun once again looked at the unconscious girl and this time he didn't find her that beautiful which only his heart knew that he was lying.

"Why is she still unconscious?" he asked again turning his head away from that girl and looking at Layla.

Layla shrugged, "I don't know."

Long Xun frowned.

"Boss who is she?" Layla asked.

"A burden, " Long Xun answered.

"Huh?" Layla was confused but she didn't ask for any explanation. "Boss, I think we should call for a doctor. This girl is very badly hurt and we need to change her — Oh my God, Boss look! She is opening her eyes. She is gaining consciousness."

Long Xun immediately turned his head to look at the girl who was slowly opening her eyes. Slowly, and carefully the girl opened her eyes and indeed her eyes wee very beautifully. She had hazel colored eyes with a hint of green in it. They were very pretty and possessed a little bit of naivety in them. Long Xun was mesmerized by those eyes and he felt himself sinking in those beautiful eyes.

The girl frowned as he held her head, after blinking her eyes for a minute as looked around with great curiosity. When she noticed somebody standing on her left side, her body stilled. With fearful eyes, she turned her head and she saw a woman standing beside her. With big eyes, she looked at Layla with surprise and astonishment.

"Her eyes are so pretty, " Layla exclaimed loudly bringing back Long Xun from his dreamy land.

Idiot!

Long Xun cursed and pinched himself to stop thinking in a weird direction. This was not the time to appreciate her beauty, it was time to get down to business and ask her about Xavier.

After talking with himself internally, Long Xun walked closer to the girl. He don't what happened but on seeing him, the girl suddenly started to scream.

"NO, NO... GO AWAY. BADDY PEOPLE, BADDY PLEPLE GO AWAY.... IT HURTS, NO!NO!" the girl started screaming very loudly as she tried to cower back in fear.

Long Xun, Housekeeper Qin, and Layla were stunned by the girl's screaming and shouting. Long Xun didn't know what was wrong. The girl kept looking at him and she was crying very badly as if he was some kind of a monster. For the first time in his life, Long Xun felt helpless and he didn't know what to do.
