I've been procrastinating for two days, so I'm just writing something down.

"Why are you in Jiangnan too?" Jin Suting found the man and pulled him to a corner.

The man who pulled off the thing covering his cheeks was Helan Yinsheng.

"I will complete the task that you cannot complete."

Jin Suting was shocked, "What are you going to do?"

The unfinished mission was naturally to assassinate Helan Ruizhe.

"This is not the place to discuss things. Let's meet at three o'clock tonight in the yard behind Zhang Yi Noodle House." After saying that, Helan Yinsheng turned into the alley and left.

After Jin Suting came back from there, she was completely distracted, and Helan Ruizhe didn't know what was wrong with her.

"Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to go to the clinic?"

Jin Suting shook her head, her heart in turmoil. Helan Yinsheng's appearance reminded her that she should take action, but after spending so much time with him these days, she couldn't bring herself to do it. "I'm not uncomfortable at all. I just thought about your birthday in a few days and wanted to think about how to celebrate it."

Jin Suting rubbed her eyes after making up a lie. Helan Ruizhe said, "We live the same way as ordinary people do."

She nodded and said, "I'm sleepy. I'm going to sleep for a while."

At three o'clock that night, Jin Suting added some medicine to Helan Ruizhe's food to make him sleep, got up, put on her cloak, and quietly left the yard.

When they arrived at the agreed place, Helan Yinsheng was already waiting there.

"Did you do what happened to Zhang Yi?" This is what Jin Suting asked him.

Helan Yinsheng covered his face and said in a low voice: "Do you think I shouldn't do this?"

"No..." Jin Suting wanted to defend herself, but if she said more, Helan Yinsheng would only think that she had ulterior motives and would probably never believe her again. It was better not to alert him.

"That's good," Helan Yinsheng said. "You know, this incognito visit is a great opportunity. I've visited Minister Li several times to get him to make this proposal. You'd better not ruin it."

Jin Suting nodded hesitantly, "I'll do it, you don't have to come in person."

Of course she knew that if she urged him, Helan Yinsheng would not take the risk of coming to Jiangnan in person, unless he wanted to take action.

Helan Yinsheng sneered: "If I don't come here in person, you might fall in love with him."

"Don't forget, he is your murderer and you saw him kill your father with your own eyes."

Jin Suting frowned. She knew, she knew all of this.

He clenched his fists and said, "I understand. I will find the right time to strike."

Before Helan Yinsheng left, he said to her, "You are a smart woman, you'd better not let me down."

When Jin Suting returned to the yard, Helan Ruizhe was still unconscious, but fortunately he hadn't woken up.

With a chill running down her spine, she lay beside Helan Ruizhe and sighed softly. The dagger was the one Helan Yinsheng had just handed her; it was a short dagger that cut cleanly and efficiently. Besides, he was soundly asleep, so he wouldn't feel any pain at all.

The dagger was gently raised and moved closer and closer towards Helan Ruizhe. Suddenly, Jin Suting couldn't bring herself to do it anymore. She took the dagger back and hid it under the pillow.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

She didn't know who she was talking to, so her voice was very low.

Helan Ruizhe was so good to her, was he really the kind of person who would do such a thing? Her intuition told her that things were not that simple. She always felt that she had lost part of her memory. Before she could regain that part of her memory, she should not attack him for the time being.

The man with his back to her suddenly opened his eyes. He was not asleep at all.
