The boss, who originally thought he could rip off the two of them, ultimately couldn't back out and settled on a deal for 32.
Although it was still a bit expensive, Bai Qingzhi could understand it. After all, it was a tourist area, so it was normal for things to be a little more expensive.
She personally tied a five-colored rope to Xiao Yuan's wrist, and she also had one on her own wrist.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
By evening, the two had reached a location thirty miles away. They stayed wherever they could find a place to stay, eventually opening a guesthouse. They decided to explore the area the next day.
In the middle of the night, his subordinate called to say that the man had confessed that he had taken the job from the dark web to assassinate Bai Qingzhi.
After hesitating for a while, Xiao Yuan called Bai Qinghuan. When she heard the news, she was clearly surprised.
In her excitement, Bai Qinghuan knocked over the water glass in her hand. She had clearly killed Wang Laosan in her life!
Who else wants Qingzhi's life?
Without any concealment, he told Xiao Yuan about dealing with Wang Laosan. The other party didn't seem surprised at all, but instead asked about the details and whether the matter had been handled properly.
Bai Qinghuan had already calmed down. Since the other party could place an order on the dark web, she didn't mind climbing the internet cable to teach him a lesson.
"Is President Xiao very familiar with you?" Bai Qinghuan asked curiously.
Xiao Yuan was not surprised at all, and calmly replied:
"I usually enjoy watching crime movies."
Bai Qinghuan rolled her eyes on the other end of the phone, but didn't press further, simply assuming that what Xiao Yuan said was the truth.
“I suspect that person placed more than one order. Be careful, or you might have to get it back.” Bai Qinghuan regained her seriousness.
The two discussed it for a while before hanging up the phone; it was already one in the morning.
The two rooms were next to each other. Xiao Yuan washed up and lay down on the bed. Hearing no sound from beside him, he closed his eyes.
Meanwhile, Bai Qingzhi lay on the bed, her eyes closed, her expression highly tense.
Just a minute earlier, she discovered there was someone in the house!
Bai Qingzhi confirmed that Xiao Yuanzai had thoroughly checked the room before the person came in, and that it was safe.
Just as she was drifting off to sleep, she keenly sensed that something was watching her.
Her sixth sense told her not to act rashly, so Bai Qingzhi did not react.
But her mind was racing as she tried to figure out how to contact Xiao Yuan next door.
She repeatedly imagined several possibilities, but rejected them one by one. She didn't have any self-defense skills, nor did she have that kind of speed. No matter which one it was, there was no other possibility but to anger the people in the house.
At this moment, the person who had come into the room had already stood by the bed, and she could feel that the gaze fixed on her had become even stronger.
“I know you’re not asleep.” A male voice came out, his voice hoarse and carrying a strange tremor.
Bai Qingzhi's heart skipped a beat, but she hesitated for only a second before decisively opening her eyes.
Since the other party didn't directly attack her, it means they had other motives.
"Who are you?" Bai Qingzhi asked with a puzzled expression, her face even showing a hint of innocence.
Unlike during the day, the man openly revealed his face.
"I'm here to take your life." The man suddenly laughed, and in the moonlight, Bai Qingzhi noticed a terrifying centipede-like scar on his face.
As soon as the man finished speaking, Bai Qingzhi's eyes popped out, and her face turned pale with fear.
"I have money, I can give you money, just don't kill me!" Bai Qingzhi said as she backed away until her back was against the wall.
Seeing Bai Qingzhi's cowardly appearance, the man frowned deeply.
"The dark web says you are cunning, treacherous, and full of tricks, making those who come to take on the task of killing extremely cautious. Now it seems that you are nothing more than that."
He already looked down on women, and those women on the dark web's assassin rankings, who knows how they got there!
The man's thoughts drifted for only a moment before returning to Bai Qingzhi.
"Then why don't you do it?" Bai Qingzhi covered herself with the blanket, leaving only her head sticking out.
The man took a step closer, then lowered his head and answered with a sinister smile:
Do you know what my code name is?
Bai Qingzhi's large eyes reflected her own face. The man seemed quite satisfied, and without waiting for Bai Qingzhi's reply, he continued speaking:
"Viper, do you know why I'm called that? Because I love watching their terrified yet helpless expressions before I kill them."
After saying this, the man became visibly agitated, suddenly straightened up, stretched out his arms, raised his head, and closed his eyes.
"The most beautiful cry is the silent cry of the prey!"
Seeing the venomous snake's frenzied appearance, Bai Qingzhi suddenly felt no longer afraid.
The man mused for almost two minutes before getting back to the point, pulling out a rope from somewhere.
"I never like to kill people too quickly, because that causes them too little pain."
Bai Qingzhi finally realized that he was a complete pervert.
The moment the man looked over, Bai Qingzhi's expression turned frightened again, and even more so than before.
She acted out the scene, while the man talked about his hobbies and interests. A full minute passed before the man finally decided to take action.
But before he could put the rope around Bai Qingzhi's neck, there was a knock on the door.
“Childish.” It was Xiao Yuan.
The man frowned, his eyes warning Bai Qingzhi.
Bai Qingzhi's eyes flickered, but she did not answer.
"If you're not going to say anything, I'm going to go in directly." Xiao Yuan's voice sounded very calm.
