Chapter 344: Chapter 0344: The Assassin Has Arrived

"Alright, since that’s the case, we’ll talk about it another time when the opportunity arises."

Xia Wei’er responded with understanding and then hung up the phone.

"Hmph, how about that? If you two don’t treat me to lunch, there are plenty of others who would."

Tang Ming put away his phone triumphantly and looked challengingly at the two women.

"Hehe, from now on, you must have lunch with me at school every day."

Liu Mengting announced expressionlessly.

"Sss." Li Xiaoli gasped in sympathy and looked at Liu Mengting:

"Meng Meng, you really went all out to keep Tang Ming. They say to capture a man’s heart, you have to capture his stomach first, but Tang Ming’s appetite is not a small one."

"I have money and I’m willing to spend it," snapped Liu Mengting, giving Li Xiaoli a sharp look, relieved in her thoughts: "Thank goodness I kept Tang Ming by my side just now, otherwise he would have had another chance to date Xia Wei’er."

Seeing the reaction of the two women, Tang Ming secretly laughed. He really had to thank Xia Wei’er; otherwise, given the face-saving nature of Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli, they would not have easily taken him, the big eater, along for meals.

Inside Chen Shuang’er’s small house.

"Sorry, Tang Ming had something come up, he can’t make it," Xia Wei’er said apologetically to Chen Shuang’er, bitter thoughts running through her mind:

"He’s dining with Liu Mengting right now. Does she really see him only as a bodyguard?"

"When you invited him to dinner yesterday, he came, but when it’s my turn, he doesn’t have the time. Wei’er, you’re certainly more influential," Chen Shuang’er said with a hint of jealousy:

"I bet he would’ve come if you asked him."

"Sigh, I guess even if I asked him today, he wouldn’t come."

Xia Wei’er shook her head helplessly, "He’s having lunch with Liu Mengting right now, isn’t he?"

"What’s going on between you and Tang Ming? Isn’t he your boyfriend? Why’s he dining with that Liu Mengting?" Chen Shuang’er asked, puzzled.

"He’s Liu Mengting’s bodyguard and has to ensure her safety, so he can’t act alone."

Xia Wei’er forced a smile and explained.

"Even bodyguards need to eat, that Liu Mengting is way too domineering."

Chen Shuang’er murmured with disgust.

"Hmph, it’s no big deal if he doesn’t come," Chen Fei’er, sitting in front of the computer, scoffed disdainfully.

Chen Shuang’er and Xia Wei’er looked at each other helplessly and both laughed bitterly, because they knew how impressive Tang Ming was; only Chen Fei’er, always cooped up in the house, didn’t realize it.

In the following days, Tang Ming remained highly vigilant, and Liu Gaoze, on the other hand, did not choose to compromise and was always busy with his research.

Annoyed by Liu Gao’s obtuse behavior, the Flying Wolf Organization made a decisive decision to send someone to kill Liu Mengting, to teach Liu Gaoze a lesson about the consequences of disobedience.

In the afternoon, one hour before Liu Mengting was due to finish school, two mysterious individuals wearing black trench coats hid atop a building with a view overlooking the entrance to the Liu Family mansion.

"Number Three, is the bodyguard the Liu Family hired really that impressive? They actually let us use a sniper rifle, shouldn’t it be easy to just charge in and kill Miss Liu?"

One of the men in black, holding a telescope, looked at his companion tuning the sniper rifle and asked doubtfully.

"Although I haven’t seen that bodyguard, he’s managed to foil several of our organization’s kidnapping attempts, which shows that the guy isn’t simple," Number Three said without lifting his head, intently wiping down the sniper rifle as tenderly as one would caress a beloved woman.

"Hey, I heard that Liu Gaoze’s daughter is pretty. It would be nice to have some fun with her, too bad though! Liu Gaoze, that bastard, dare to oppose the organization, let him taste what it’s like to lose a daughter," Number Four said with a cold laugh, suddenly speaking up, "We’ve got movement, who is that woman?"

"You lustful idiot, you’ll end up dead at the hands of a woman someday, let me look!"

Number Three instantly opened the sniper scope and looked in the direction of the villa.

Shen Yan, dressed in sportswear, jogged around the Liu family villa nonchalantly, yet her gaze constantly monitored the surroundings of the villa.

After several days of observation and surveillance, Shen Yan had not found a chance to assassinate Tang Ming, so she decided to investigate the terrain and situation around the villa to see if she could find an opportunity to kill him inside.

"Apart from that day when he came near my mansion and provided me with an opportunity to assassinate him, he has not shown any flaws since," Shen Yan muttered, adding sullenly, "It’s all because of those bastards who suddenly appeared and blocked my arrow; otherwise, Tang Ming would have been shot dead by now."

After scouting the area, Shen Yan started to strategize in her mind about how to kill Tang Ming; planting bombs around the Liu family villa might do the job, but that approach was too noisy and could harm people inside the villa, which wasn’t her style.

"Huh?"

Just as Shen Yan was deep in thought about her assassination plan, her temple throbbed; she quickly dodged off the street and hid in the shadows between the buildings.

"Someone actually wants to kill me!"

Hiding behind cover, Shen Yan looked murderously at a small light spot on a distant building.

Ordinary people wouldn’t notice anything odd about that light spot, but as a professional assassin, Shen Yan was certain it was the reflection of a sniper scope. Combined with the previous sensation of being targeted, she was sure someone was out to kill her.

"Daring to kill me, they really think I’m a Lin Daiyu, do they!" After determining the assassin’s direction, Shen Yan snorted coldly and quickly made her way towards the killer.

"That’s strange, where did that woman go?" Number Four, holding a telescope, searched around in confusion.

"Forget it, she’s not the target. If she’s gone, she’s gone," Number Three said, closing the scope nonchalantly:

"Our job today is to blow Liu Mengting’s head off the moment she gets off the car after school. I really want to see how Liu Gaoze reacts when he sees his daughter’s brains splattered."

"He must be devastated," Number Four chuckled, grudgingly saying:

"That woman just now was really something, would have been quite a thrill to have a go at her, but why is she gone?"

"Are you looking for me?" Just then, an icy clear voice sounded out of nowhere.

The two assassins’ faces changed drastically, and as they turned around, they saw Shen Yan, her face as frosty as ever, suddenly standing behind them.

"Wow, I was actually looking for you, and here you are, coming straight to me, you’re more proactive than I imagined," after a moment of shock, Number Four immediately became excited and strode towards Shen Yan, "We still have an hour before the target arrives, plenty of time for some fun."
