Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ye Ying recalled the time he spent with Shan Yue. “When the time comes, we’ll all work for Shan Yue until we successfully avenge her.”

Elder Qiao naturally knew what Ye Ying meant by revenge. He knew very well the relationship between Ye Ying and Shan Yue. It was a friendship of respect and life and death.

“Don’t worry, Boss Ye. As long as we work together, there’s nothing we can’t get through.”

Elder Qiao placed his wrinkled hand on Ye Ying’s shoulder. His simple physical movements spread unlimited strength. “When the time comes, I still have to follow you to repay Miss Shan Yue. After all, without her, we wouldn’t be where we are now.”

As the two of them conversed, the moonlight really fell, and the sky fell into darkness. However, it did not take long for the evening wind to blow the dark clouds until it blocked the remaining moonlight.

The remaining starlight flickered in the air, bringing light to this world along with the street lamps.

However, this environment seemed to foreshadow the short peace before the storm.

Knock, knock, knock. Accompanied by an urgent knock on the door, Huo J tie’s hand, which was drawing, suddenly stopped. He first put down the book on the table, then responded right on the heels of, “Come in.”

When Huo Jue looked up, the person who knocked on the door was his steward, Xiao Ming. He was very young and had already displayed extraordinary talent. That was why he could climb up the ranks in the organization so quickly and become Huo Jue’s steward.

“Reporting to Second Elder, according to the long-term spies in the Federation’s Central City, Liu Qing was discovered to have been sent to the Federation’s First Hospital this morning. I’ve also gotten someone to confirm just now that the situation is true.”

Xiao Ming’s attitude was very respectful. He placed the surveillance video in front of Huo Jue. Liu Qing’s face was clearly recorded.

“Yesterday, you just summoned him. Today, something happened to him, so I came to report to you quickly.”

What happened in front of him really surprised Huo Jue. He, who had always been very cautious, even rubbed his eyes to ensure that he was not seeing things.

After confirming it, he could not help but mutter softly, “What’s going on? Logically speaking, with Liu Qing’s skills, he should be able to deal with a boss sitting in an office, even if the other party might have some skills.”

However, what Huo Jue did not know was that this boss was none other than Ling Yue, who had died in the explosion half a year ago.

Not to mention the silver-level killer, even his steward was nothing in her eyes.

“Second Elder?”

Xiao Ming’s shout pulled Huo Jue back to reality. “Should we arrange for our brothers to snatch him back? Although that Liu Qing isn’t an especially high-level person, he’s still a member of our organization.” Huo Jue thought for a moment, then shook his head. “Do you know why Liu Qing was hospitalized?”

“The surveillance video only captured Liu Qing when he was first sent to the hospital. After that, it was deliberately blocked. However, from the short few seconds, he either swallowed the poisonous needle or bit his tongue.”

Xiao Ming boldly voiced his guess. “But swallowing the needle should kill him immediately. There’s no time to save him at all. There won’t be such a large amount of blood in his mouth, so he should be biting his tongue.”

“Bit his tongue?”

This method of suicide puzzled Huo Jue even more. Swallowing the poisonous needle was clearly the best method of suicide. Why did he have to use a method that was torturing but might not really die?

Although Huo Jue had many guesses in his heart, he would only know the exact reason when Liu Qing returned alive.

“That’s right.”

Xiao Ming added right on the heels of that, “And according to the investigation, the person who sent Liu Qing to the hospital was the assistant of the assassination target. This way, we have no choice but to suspect that he betrayed us to save his life.”

As an elder, Huo Jue naturally knew this very well. This made him feel frustrated. He was in charge of the organization’s future and even knew the latest news about Ling Yue. Now that something had happened to Lang Nan’s commission, it would really damage the reputation of the organization..
