Chapter 629: Chapter 622 Shuang Sha Takes Action, Waiting for the Rabbit!

Sunday, evening.

Zhang Wei had visited the terraced villa area once before.

An old small sedan was parked in the shadow at the corner of the street.

Zhang Wei and Xia Qianyue were sitting in the driver and passenger seats, closely observing the villa in front of them.

The car belonged to Xia Qianyue’s father and was chosen specifically because they were afraid the opponents would track them down, so Zhang Wei had purposely borrowed the car from his father-in-law.

"Zhang Wei, I understand the purpose of borrowing my dad’s car, but are you really sure that someone will target Miss Ye and her father?"

The villa they were currently watching was the home of the female social media influencer Miss Ye.

Of course, to Zhang Wei, Miss Ye’s most concerning identity was that of Wu Renjie’s woman.

And the purpose of summoning her was naturally to find out what she might know, but this idea was stopped by Ren Xingzhou.

Fortunately, Zhang Wei had an alternative. Miss Ye’s father had been successfully subpoenaed as a witness.

It was precisely because of this move that Zhang Wei concluded that someone would not be able to hold back anymore.

"Nonsense, today I caught them off guard, and if I were them, I would definitely not allow any accidents to happen," Zhang Wei said confidently.

If it were anyone else, he wouldn’t be able to guess their actions, but the Wu Family was different.

Or to put it another way, whether it was the Wu Family or the Lin Family, or even the Zhang Family within Dongfang Capital, they all had the means and ability to change a witness’s mind.

How could the people from the Five Great Families just sit around and do nothing about a mere witness?

They had the manpower, money, and enough subordinates to act for them.

They could completely use the day before the court session to warn the witness, or even directly "clean" their neck.

In short, there were plenty of ways to prevent the witness from appearing in court.

And today, having been caught off guard by Zhang Wei, if they didn’t do something, it would be a shame to the reputation and resources of the Five Great Families.

Therefore, Zhang Wei was sure that tonight this netizen called "Fitness Cat" and her father would both encounter an accident.

The only guess now was what means the Wu Family planned to use.

Would it be a warning, a threat, or the worst possibility?

There’s a saying that goes well, put yourself in their shoes, in the perspective of the Wu Family.

Wu Yuanzong, for the sake of Wu Renjie’s case, busily went back and forth, not only spending a huge sum to hire Jincheng’s elite legal team but also asking Zhang Tianlong to make connections and contact Momoji, the Ancient Elephant Country diplomat.

The manpower, material resources, and even favors spent were not inconsiderable.

After such expense, at the critical moment, how could he allow an almost insignificant witness to ruin his efforts?

To save Wu Renjie, he would certainly do anything.

Hiring someone to "take care" of the Ye family was obviously very possible.

"Silly, just wait and see, the people sent by Wu Yuanzong and Lin Xiangtian will definitely arrive!"

"Ao~"

Zhang Wei and Xia Qianyue were waiting in the car, their eyes firmly fixed on the terraced villa in front.

Tonight, it was just the two of them in action, but that was enough.

For Zhang Wei, who had Xia Qianyue’s formidable fighting capacity by his side, there was nothing to fear from any enemy.

I have Silly, what do you have?

Time passed quietly as the two waited.

Tonight, the sky was clear with a sparse array of stars.

In October, Dongfang Capital was greeted by the bleak autumn wind, on the verge of stepping into the harsh winter.

Suddenly, a cold breeze blew past, and for some unknown reason, the moon hid behind the black clouds.

"What a night for a murder under a cloud-covered moon and high wind!" Zhang Wei couldn’t help but exclaim; however, his brows furrowed immediately afterward.

"There’s a murderous intent!" Xia Qianyue, frowning as well, pointed in a certain direction.

She was about to take action but was held back by Zhang Wei.

"Aren’t we taking action?"

"Of course we are, but it’s not time to act yet!" Zhang Wei said while looking towards the terraced villa ahead, his eyes showing a cold sneer.

What’s the hardest debt to repay in this world?

A debt of gratitude is the hardest to repay!

What’s the most significant favor?

A life-saving grace is the most significant!

Today, if Zhang Wei and Xia just scared off the enemy outside the villa, the Ye family would have no idea what they did; what’s the point then?

What Zhang Wei wanted was for the Ye family members to testify in court, to make them feel threatened.

Only when they felt threatened would Zhang Wei’s side be able to save them, and then they would obediently listen to them.

So, it wasn’t time yet.

Only when the Ye family members were pushed to the brink would Zhang Wei’s rescue be meaningful, valuable, and enable the two members of the Ye family to understand which side justice was on.

"Just wait, we have waited so long, a few more minutes won’t make a difference..."

The two of them did not act rashly but continued to lie in wait, biding their time for the perfect moment to enter the scene.

At the same time, near the row of villas.

Shuang Sha had arrived.

They were a couple, once internationally feared as "professional" assassins, but since their "retirement," they hadn’t made a move in over a decade.

Professionals need to eat too, after all, they need to provide for their families.

Overseas, they had fought and risked their lives, braving bullets and the threat of death to assassinate targets, only to earn a small commission after completing the job—that was the life Shuang Sha once lived.

In their youth, they dared to take any contract and deal with any person.

The heads of armed forces, gang leaders, even leaders of certain small countries—they dared to kill them all!

But later, the couple realized that their efforts weren’t proportional to their earnings.

Moreover, in their line of work, career spans were short, and the risks were high; a single mistake could spell irreversible doom.

So, when they were about to turn 40, after narrowly missing a mishap on a mission, they finally came to the conclusion that their time in this profession was nearly over.

If they continued in this line of work, they might lose their lives.

The Cleaner business is actually very competitive.

If you can’t outwork others, update your gear, or increase your combat value, you’re likely to be surpassed by competitors or even killed by enemies.

The couple finally realized they couldn’t keep up and decided to retire, only to look back and find that after years as Cleaners, they hadn’t saved any money.

The money either went to consumption or to keeping up with the competition.

Purchasing the latest equipment, bribing subordinates of enemies, high expenditures after completing tasks—they had struggled for decades yet saved nothing.

Truth be told, the couple was in despair.

But that’s when Lin Jincheng threw them a lifeline.

Move to Dragon Country, they would not need to fight or kill, just be my subordinates and bodyguards, and protect me when necessary.

Since Dragon Country had good public order, foreign Cleaners usually did not take contracts there.

Shuang Sha were aware of this, the job was easy, and the payment was high, enough for them to live and spend in Dongfang Capital.

So Shuang Sha agreed and came to Dongfang Capital in Dragon Country, becoming part of the Lin Family and living an almost semi-retired life.

Originally, they thought they would follow Lin Jincheng for the rest of their lives, until his dying day.

Unexpectedly, the day came for them to dust off their old skills.

However, they were professionals, and the target was from Dongfang Capital. The target was not some gang leader or the head of an armed force, with dozens or hundreds of minions with weapons waiting in defense.

This mission was ridiculously easy.

Right then, under cover of night, Shuang Sha made their way to the roof of the Ye family’s villa.

"What were Fatty Lin’s instructions again?" asked the woman of Shuang Sha.

"Fatty Lin’s instructions were to ensure that the father and daughter below could not testify in court," the man replied immediately.

"If they can’t testify, does that mean they can’t leave Dongfang Capital?"

"No, because it’s uncertain whether that Zhang Wei will have a backup plan."

It wasn’t the man’s concern but Lin Xiangtian’s worry.

If they arranged for the Ye father and daughter to leave Dongfang Capital overnight, it would be very difficult.

For example, if they tried leaving by airport, they’ve been summoned to court as witnesses; they wouldn’t be able to leave the airport.

The same would apply to the high-speed rail.

Even if they drove, they might not be able to pass checkpoints.

Moreover, Lin Xiangtian knew that Zhang Wei was not someone who would let a target slip away once he had set his sights on them.

He knew that Zhang Wei would definitely set up contingencies, and they might have already tapped the Ye family’s phone calls and located their position.

Any slight movement from them might become an excuse for Zhang Wei to attack.

So, arranging for the Ye family to leave Dongfang Capital was actually quite difficult.

In comparison, ensuring they would never be able to speak was the safest option!

Although the death of a witness before the trial would cause major issues.

But with the right reasons, there was still room for maneuvering.

And Shuang Sha, they were professionals—assassinating, stealth killing, or even staging a target’s accidental death were all within their capabilities.

After observing the villa for a while and hearing noises inside, Shuang Sha exchanged glances and descended stealthily.

At that moment inside the villa, both members of the Ye family were on the second floor, yet neither was asleep.

Mr. Ye was in his room, reading a book late into the night.

This late at night, approaching the wee hours, the reason he wasn’t asleep was due to his daughter’s live streaming next door.

The live stream was loud, and she was interacting with her fans, which made it impossible for him to sleep.

However, he was used to it, as his daughter’s career was the priority.

The only reason he and his daughter could live in a house in Dongfang Capital City Center was exactly due to her career.

Of course, there was also Wu Renjie, who provided for his daughter and had spent quite a sum.

With this in mind, Mr. Ye looked towards the next room, where his daughter’s room was.

At this moment, Miss Ye was sitting in front of her computer, wearing cat-ear accessories on her head, live streaming, and interacting with her fans.

Miss Ye’s online handle was "Fitness Cat." She had posted many workout and sport-related short videos on her personal social media, and she knew how to please her core audience.

Fitness was just a facade; what those homebody guys really enjoyed wasn’t watching a woman work out, no, they just loved watching beautiful women.

The exposure of her chest and thighs during the workouts was flirting with the limits, but that was exactly what her fans loved to see.

Add some cat-ears, fox ears, and other accessories, along with cosplay outfits worn while doing exercise routines, and all this was a surefire formula for traffic.

Miss Ye felt that she had grasped the code to wealth.

This was also the reason why she insisted on live streaming even though she was supported by Wu Renjie.

Who would pass up on making money? With so many homebody guys willing to spend on her, why wouldn’t she cash in while she was still young? Once she no longer appealed to Wu Renjie as she aged, she certainly wouldn’t expect to marry into the Wu Family. So she had to make the most of it while she could.

It has to be said, she saw the situation very clearly.

Click!

However, just when the live stream reached a critical point and fans had begun giving a lot of gifts, the computer screen suddenly went black.

"Hey, hey, hey, this can’t be happening?" Miss Ye looked at the unresponsive computer in front of her, utterly astonished.

"Dad, what’s going on, is there a blackout?"

She turned around and shouted, thoroughly annoyed.

Really, I’m in the middle of live streaming, why does it have to blackout at this critical moment?

Not only had the computer shut down, but the lights had gone out as well, plunging the room into terrifying darkness.

Miss Ye had no choice but to pick up the only device that still had power—her phone, turn on the flashlight function, and then navigate to her father’s room next door.

"Dad, what’s happening? Can there be a blackout in the city center?"

She adeptly opened the door and after uttering a complaint, she didn’t hear her father respond.

Miss Ye paused for a moment but then saw, with the help of the phone’s light, her father tied up in the corner of the room.

His hands and feet were bound, and a cloth had been stuffed into his mouth. He was struggling fiercely, attempting to make muffled, hoarse noises.

"Dad, what happened to you, who tied you up?"

Miss Ye hadn’t recovered from the shock when she quickly ran to her father’s side and was about to untie him.

"Mmmph mmmph mmmph!" But her father struggled even more violently.

Because emerging from the darkness behind Miss Ye were two figures, the notorious Shuang Sha.

Just as Miss Ye was about to untie her father, a large hand suddenly choked her neck, and another hand from the person behind covered her mouth, preventing her from calling out loudly.

"Shh!" A chilling voice rang out behind her, making the hairs on Miss Ye’s body stand on end.

Intruders had broken into their home!

That was her only thought in that moment.

"Someone doesn’t want you to appear in court tomorrow, so don’t blame us; we’re just following orders!"

The chilling voice resounded again, as if it was decreeing the fate of the Ye family.

Because they didn’t want you to attend court tomorrow, the only option was to ensure you could never attend.

"Don’t worry, we’re not going to kill you now. Later we will inject you with an overdose of alcohol and fabricate it to look like an accidental death due to alcohol poisoning. Although the process might be painful, rest assured, it will all be over quickly."

Hearing the words of the person behind her, Miss Ye’s complexion turned incredibly pale with terror.

Who were these people, why did they want to kill her, why were they preventing her from appearing in court?

She knew nothing, her mind was blank, and all she could do was flail her arms in struggle, but unfortunately, it posed no threat to the assailant.

"Hurry up and administer the injection, move quickly, we still have to stage the scene!"

"Got it!"

Shuang Sha said, proceeding with their action.

One controlled Miss Ye while the other took an injector and drugs out of the toolkit they carried, preparing for the injection.

Miss Ye struggled desperately, but in vain, she could not break free.

"Act faster, this woman’s struggling too much; it could leave marks."

"Don’t rush me; it’s been over a decade since we’ve done this, the skills are a bit rusty."

Shuang Sha casually conversed while preparing to send Miss Ye into an eternal slumber.

"Cough cough, are you two busy?"

But just at that moment, a teasing voice sounded from the pitch-black second floor of the villa.

Click!

At the same time, there was also the sound of a phone camera’s shutter, as the flash suddenly lit up.

"Who’s there!"

Shuang Sha was taken aback and then looked toward the direction of the sound.

The window had been opened at some point, and two individuals had already broken in.

"It’s you!"

Shuang Sha recognized the intruders, it was Zhang Wei and Xia Qianyue.

"Knowing it’s us, you should understand how today’s operation is going to turn out, right?"

Zhang Wei also looked at the two, his face full of mockery.

To be honest, Shuang Sha wasn’t afraid of Zhang Wei.

But Zhang Wei never acted alone. Xia Qianyue, who stood by his side, wasn’t someone to mess with.

Seeing Xia Qianyue, Shuang Sha realized they probably wouldn’t get out of this unscathed today.

However, the man from Shuang Sha immediately tightened his grip on Miss Ye in his hand.

"Don’t come any closer, or I’ll strangle her!"

"You kidding? Your mission today was to off her anyway. She’s not going to survive whether we come or not, right?"

Seeing this, Zhang Wei sneered, he and Xia Qianyue stepping towards Shuang Sha.

"To tell you the truth, we’d actually prefer it if you hurried up and strangled her. That way, we can use this incident to our advantage in court, claim it was the Lin Family who committed the act under the Wu Family’s instruction, and overturn the case, right?"

"So, brother, come on, do it! Hurry up, harry up, quickly get it over with!"

Shuang Sha: ???

Miss Ye: ???

"Fuck!"

Under Zhang Wei’s mockery, the man had no choice but to toss Miss Ye onto the ground, and then joined with the woman, both focusing on Xia Qianyue in front of them.

They knew that to leave this place today, they had to escape from this young woman.

"Let’s do this together. Although it’s been over a decade since we’ve fought anyone, with the two of us teaming up, we’re definitely..."

"Go on, you simpleton!"

The man hadn’t finished speaking when Zhang Wei shouted harshly, and Xia Qianyue burst into action in an instant.

Shuang Sha saw a figure flash past, and a series of afterimages appeared in their vision.

"So fast..."

Those words were still stuck in their throats when their bodies were sent flying like kites without strings.

By the time they crashed heavily to the ground, both were already close to passing out.

Zhang Wei quickly approached the man, took out the phone from his pocket, and opened the contacts list.

"Brother, do me a favor, send a message to Lin Xiangtian, say that you’ve completed the task!"

"You expect me to deceive... you... you’re dreaming..."

"That’s your wife, isn’t it? You don’t want anything to happen to her, do you?"

"Don’t even think about it, my wife and I... will never betray the Lin Family..."

"Is that so? It seems the stakes aren’t high enough, then."

Zhang Wei spoke while taking out his own phone and turning on the screen.

"What if, in addition, your son’s life is put on the line?"

Upon hearing Zhang Wei’s words, both members of Shuang Sha’s pupils constricted sharply!

"You two are really something, nearly 40 years old and you had a child late. You cherish your little son so much, pay for his food, his clothes, send him to an elite middle school in Dongfang Capital. I’m sure you wouldn’t want anything untoward happening to him on his way to school, would you?"

"My son is innocent!" the man finally couldn’t hold back anymore and exerted all his strength to say these words.

But at this very moment, Zhang Wei, much like a villain, laughed coldly, "Your son’s innocence has got nothing to do with me."

"Besides, these days, it’s quite common for high school students to walk down the street and get taken to another world by a dump truck. Most of them are lucky; they do well in that other world. Why don’t we let your son have a turn as the protagonist of a novel, how does that sound?"

As he spoke, Zhang Wei shook the phone in his hand, allowing the man to clearly see the photo on the screen, his mouth curling into a cold smile.

The man’s gaze shifted innumerably before he finally capitulated.

"I understand... I’ll help you..."

Zhang Wei smiled, a smile that was somewhat sinister and terrifying.

Not only that, but after his laughter, he also looked bizarrely at Miss Ye and her father beside him.

The night’s harvest was remarkably good!
