Chapter 345: Chapter 0345 Assassin vs. Assassin

"Idiot, come back now!"

The third brother shouted anxiously; if the opponent could appear here, then they definitely were no ordinary person, but the fourth brother, with his mind clouded by lust, was completely oblivious to the problem.

The third brother raised his gun wanting to deal with Shen Yan, but the fourth brother’s body was exactly blocking his line of sight.

"Beauty..."

The fourth brother walked up to Shen Yan and reached out to touch her face, when a slender steel needle flew out from between Shen Yan’s fingers, striking right at his Adam’s apple.

"Fourth brother, what’s wrong with you? Hurry back, this woman is very dangerous."

The third brother reminded anxiously.

"Ugh, ugh, ugh!"

The fourth brother turned around slowly, his hands clutching his throat, his eyes widened in disbelief, unable to speak a word.

"Damn it!" Face contorted with anger, the third brother lifted his gun to shoot.

"Bang!" Shen Yan kicked the fourth brother’s back, sending him flying straight toward the third brother.

Faced with his former companion, the third brother didn’t hesitate to pull the trigger, aiming to shoot Shen Yan through the fourth brother’s body, but alas...

As the fourth brother’s body soared through the air, Shen Yan bent over low to the ground and shot forth a flash of silver.

After a "bang" of gunfire, the fourth brother’s chest was pierced, and his body heavily fell to the ground, while the third brother slowly knelt down, a shiny steel needle embedded in his forehead.

"To think you have the ability to kill me, you’re really blindsided."

Shen Yan snorted disdainfully, pulling the steel needles out of the two bodies, then picked up the gun and swiftly left the scene.

Nobody imagined that the assassin sent by the Flying Wolf Organization to assassinate Liu Mengting would be killed by Shen Yan, a colleague, because of... a misunderstanding.

Late at night, in the Chen Family study, Chen Zhongfa wore a bitter expression as he met once again with the sinister man in black.

"I told you assassination wouldn’t work, there have been so many kidnapping attempts that didn’t pan out, it’s clear to see how strong the protection around Liu Mengting is, assassination is simply not feasible." Chen Zhongfa sighed with lamentation, yet inwardly he felt a sense of schadenfreude: So arrogant, all the time, see how you fail again, what can you boast of now?

"No one expected that aside from that bodyguard named Tang Ming, there would actually be someone else protecting Liu Mengting secretly."

The man in black clenched his teeth and let out a cold hum, looking at Chen Zhongfa and asking, "Now that it’s come to this, what do you propose we do?"

"After the previous kidnappings and this assassination attempt, the Liu Family will surely increase their protection of Liu Mengting; it’s no longer possible to make a move from this angle!" Chen Zhongfa squinted his eyes, analyzing:

"I suspect that the ones secretly protecting Liu Mengting could very well be from the Dark Group. Unless the organization wants a head-on clash with the Dark Group, there’s absolutely no chance of success."

"Clashing head-on with the Dark Group on home soil is practically suicide." The man in black frowned and sighed:

"It’s not that I’m pushing you, but the higher-ups are really in a rush. They’ve issued orders that if it comes to the worst, we are to attack the research institute at all costs. If it really comes to that, even if we succeed, the losses will be severe, and whether we can live and escape the Capital is another matter, so we must think of another way."

"Aggression won’t work, what do you think about making our move from the inside?"

Chen Zhongfa looked uncertainly at the man in black as he made a suggestion.

"What do you mean?" the man in black asked, puzzled, as he looked at Chen Zhongfa.

"The research institute is so large, and there are many people involved in the research. We could start with these people, bribe them or directly bribe members of the Dark Group. I think the organization should be able to handle this, right?"

Chen Zhongfa expressed his idea with uncertainty.

"That’s actually a viable idea. We’ve been focusing on Liu Gaoze all this time, but that guy is a tough nut to crack, impervious to both soft and hard tactics. However, not everyone around him may be diehards."

The man in black’s eyes lit up, finding Chen Zhongfa’s proposal very feasible.

Afterward, the two men began to conspire.

Always on guard, Chen Cang hid in his room, stealthily watching the study, and worriedly thought:

"That damn organization’s people have come again, what are they up to now? Dad had better not be foolhardy and oppose Tang Ming along with them. Even the Zhou Family is no match for Tang Ming, and if the Chen Family offends him, we certainly won’t come to a good end."

Chen Cang was worried about Chen Zhongfa and his own situation, but since he couldn’t hear the conversation in the study, he had no way to tip off Tang Ming. At that moment, he thought of the listening devices used in spy movies.

Even Chen Cang himself hadn’t realized that such an absurd idea would soon be a great help to Tang Ming.

Tang Ming was still unaware that the Flying Wolf Organization had given up on the assassination, and he also didn’t know that Shen Yan had already dealt with two assassins. He had been waiting for the other party to make a move, but after several days without news, he became very frustrated.

Tang Ming had originally planned to subdue the assassins when they attacked and then extract information about the organization from them, eventually finding a way to uproot the organization entirely. But now that the other side wasn’t sending anyone, he could only wait.

Although he had no idea what the enemy was up to, Tang Ming dared not relax his protection of Liu Mengting. He vigilantly safeguarded her safety every day, often accompanying both Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli around the campus.

One morning, Qin Haitao saw Tang Ming accompanying Li Xiaoli and Liu Mengting into the teaching building and wondered, "What the hell is the Poison Widow Organization up to? Why haven’t they killed Tang Ming after such a long time? I’ve spent hundreds of thousands; their efficiency is too low."

Seeing Tang Ming bouncing around energetically in front of him every day made Qin Haitao feel as disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly.

Unable to stand it anymore, Qin Haitao decided to discuss the situation with Ma Gangqiang, unwilling to let so much money go to waste.

During the break between classes, Qin Haitao called Ma Gangqiang to the men’s restroom, instructing a group of underlings to guard the entrance.

"What do you want with me? I still have coursework to review," Ma Gangqiang said impatiently, looking at Qin Haitao. He had an idea of why Qin Haitao had called him, but he didn’t want to get involved.

"We both spent hundreds of thousands to hire an assassin to deal with Tang Ming, and it’s been almost a month now. How is it that Tang Ming is still alive?"

Qin Haitao asked straightforwardly.

"That’s a question for the Poison Widow’s assassins, how would I know?" Ma Gangqiang rolled his eyes and responded unhappily.

"You spent money too, don’t you care even a little? How about we go ask the Poison Widow Organization what’s going on? If necessary, we could offer more money!"

Qin Haitao suggested excitedly.

"Forget it, I’m not interested. From now on, dealing with Tang Ming is your own business; I won’t be involved anymore,"

Ma Gangqiang shook his head disinterestedly.
