"For a man? Ha..."
Qing Ning covered her mouth and chuckled, a hint of provocation flashing in her beautiful eyes, before saying calmly, "Luo Chen and I are childhood sweethearts. A simple 'man' can't sum up his place in my heart."
"I don't care what your mission is or what your purpose is, but if you try to harm Luo Chen, I will fight you to the death."
Although Qing Ning's tone was calm, her expression was extremely serious.
For more than 20 years, she has devoted herself to the missions of the Assassin's Guild in order to save her best friend, and she has never given up no matter how hard or difficult it was.
Now that Ya has been resurrected, the huge weight has been lifted from Qing Ning's heart, and she can finally pursue the person she loves.
To spend the rest of my life with Luo Chen, my childhood sweetheart!
"Tch...love-struck."
Sanran pouted, noticing the longing in Qingning's eyes, and a surge of jealousy welled up in her heart for no reason.
Why should there be something like childhood sweethearts in September?
As a woman, who wouldn't want to have a childhood sweetheart with whom they know each other intimately since they were young?
"I'm not love-struck."
Qingning rolled her eyes.
"A person with a love-struck mind will never eat four dishes in their lifetime."
Sanran silently added a sentence.
"...If you say another word, I'll kill your man right now."
Qing Ning's lips twitched, her face full of black lines.
She wanted to argue, but the words wouldn't come out.
What Sanran said... was actually not a problem.
But Qingning just felt really annoyed.
I felt offended.
"You dare!"
San Ran slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly. Then, realizing something, she blushed and muttered, "And... Lin Feng isn't my man, he's just my employer!"
Sanran suddenly realized that she had overreacted and didn't even dare to get angry, so she sat back down dejectedly.
"Yes, yes, he's just your employer, you're not in a hurry at all."
Qing Ning shook her head, a mischievous glint in her beautiful eyes.
Her eyes have seen through too much.
It seems that Sanran, the former boyfriend of the Assassin Hall, is also falling in love.
very nice.
"You guys should say less. It's fine to argue, but I suggest you don't risk my life..."
Lin Feng huddled in the chair, trembling.
Both of these women are terrifying.
Especially this girl named Qingning, she actually wanted to kill me!
Lin Feng sighed helplessly, rubbing his forehead.
He never imagined the world could be so small.
The Lin family's mission is to find out that the target is Qing Ning's childhood sweetheart?
He just happened to run into the line of fire; where could Lin Feng possibly complain?
"Damn, what a small world..."
Seeing that the two women were ignoring him, Lin Feng was on the verge of tears. He hid himself in the chair, not daring to show his head.
[...]
Yan Province, Tianjin Guard.
Wei Yang diligently took notes in his notebook, then looked up at Luo Chen and asked, "So... you don't know who the other party is either?"
"I don't know, I don't even recognize faces."
Luo Chen shrugged.
He has recounted the events in great detail, including why they went on a spring outing and why they chose the reservoir as their destination.
There was no way around it; the questions asked by the Sheep were just too detailed.
Compared to the Rabbit, the Sheep is indeed a very qualified member of the Tianjin Health Zodiac Group.
Every gesture he made exuded a convincing aura.
"In that case, the recent series of assassinations is very likely related to the group that tried to assassinate you today."
Wei Yang put down his notebook and rubbed his temples.
Under the sunlight, her fair, delicate hands reflected a white, jade-like luster.
Luo Chen was momentarily stunned.
These hands are so perfect that they are beyond reproach!
[Ding! SS-level beauty detected, Sheep, member of the Tianjin Health Zodiac Team, skilled in intelligence analysis and reasoning.]
[Ding! SS-level beauty detected: Rabbit (卯兔), member of the Tianjin Weixing Zodiac Group, skilled in combat and agility!]
Two system beeps sounded in succession, followed by two messages that flashed through Luo Chen's mind.
"From this perspective, the system's appearance assessment... isn't entirely useless."
Luo Chen raised an eyebrow.
He underestimated the system.
I originally thought that the system's appearance assessment was just a simple score for the other person's looks, and had no other function.
In retrospect, Luo Chen's thinking was too simplistic.
It not only gave the other party a score based on appearance, but also provided them with a lot of information.
Those born in the Year of the Goat are skilled in intelligence analysis and reasoning.
The Rabbit (卯兔) excels in combat and agility.
The system provided Luo Chen with this information in a straightforward manner.
If Luo Chen were to figure it out himself, it would take him a lot of effort.
"Wow, system! I didn't expect the stuff you gave me to be so useful!"
Luo Chen was immediately delighted and praised in his heart.
[Host is making a fuss over nothing. How could anything produced by this system be useless?]
The system's voice was cold, but full of disdain.
He seemed displeased with Luo Chen's overreaction.
"Yes, yes, you're the best."
Luo Chen wasn't annoyed at all, and chuckled to himself as he thought to himself.
"Mr. Luo?"
Wei Yang frowned and gently tapped the table with her finger.
A fleeting sense of disgust crossed her mind.
Luo Chen stared intently at her hands, making no attempt to conceal his gaze.
This aroused a sense of disgust in Wei Yang's heart.
Could it be that what Mao Tu said is true?
Is Luo Chen actually a scumbag?
Wei Yang shook his head, his thoughts beginning to waver.
If Luo Chen is indeed a scumbag as Mao Tu predicted, then it would be best to try to stop Han Zhiruo, the deputy commander, from liking Luo Chen.
The Sheep originally didn't intend to get involved in this matter, nor did it really believe what the Rabbit said.
However, Luo Chen's current behavior has made Wei Yang waver.
"Oh? What's wrong? Sorry, I was a little distracted just now."
Luo Chen ended his conversation with the system, scratched his head, and said with a smile.
"What I was saying was... Mr. Luo, do you have any other clues about where these people came from?"
Wei Yang forcibly suppressed his disgust for Luo Chen and said calmly.
Personal matters are personal matters; now is the time to deal with official business.
Those born in the Year of the Goat always clearly distinguish between public and private matters.
Even if Luo Chen really is a scumbag, now is not the time to cause him trouble.
Let's deal with the assassination case first.
"As for a clue... there really is one."
Luo Chen touched his chin and suddenly thought of the mental hospital gown.
"Please speak."
Wei Yang reopened her notebook, her beautiful eyes filled with seriousness.
She had a vague premonition that what Luo Chen was about to say might be the key to solving the case.
In Wei Yang's mind, the group that assassinated Luo Chen and the mastermind behind the assassination of Jiang Shiyu were likely the same group of people.
If we can find clues about the other party, then we can merge the two cases and investigate them together!
