Chapter 889: Chapter 0889: The Begging Old Lady

Shen Yan didn’t know what Gao Ya’s identity was, she only knew that this was Ouyang Xiao’s friend and was currently staying at her place. However, this woman had been constantly paying attention to the situation opposite her during her stay here, looking even more concerned about Tang Ming’s every move than she was.

After failing to assassinate Tang Ming in the provincial capital, Gao Ya rushed to Songlan City to meet Ouyang Xiao. Seeing Ouyang Xiao’s pitiful appearance further solidified her determination to kill Tang Ming. So, she proposed moving in with Shen Yan to make it easier for her to monitor Tang Ming and find the opportunity to assassinate him.

Ouyang Xiao hated Tang Ming deeply, so when Gao Ya suggested moving to Shen Yan’s place, she did not object. It was just as well since she had a lot of work to do at the end of the year and had no time to accompany Gao Ya. Letting her stay with Shen Yan wouldn’t be too boring.

"Are you a professional killer?"

Gao Ya looked at Shen Yan in surprise. Although she knew Shen Yan’s identity for a long time, she pretended to be shocked because Shen Yan didn’t know her identity.

Shen Yan moved her lips, feeling a bit depressed. She had originally thought that Ouyang Xiao had already told Gao Ya about her identity. However, it seemed like the other party was unaware, and she had let it slip.

Seeing Shen Yan hesitating to speak, Gao Ya immediately laughed: "I know Ouyang’s identity. I just didn’t know that you were part of the same organization as her, so I was a bit surprised. You don’t have to worry."

"Oh!"

Shen Yan nodded, breathing a sigh of relief.

"Since you are a professional killer, how about I hire you to kill Tang Ming for me?"

Gao Ya squinted her eyes and said resentfully, "That bastard bullied Ouyang before, and as her good sister, I must avenge her."

"Sorry, I’m not taking any jobs concerning Tang Ming at the moment. He’s not worth my effort right now."

Shen Yan shook her head. Without his cultivation, Tang Ming did not pique her interest. She didn’t know when that guy would be able to recover his cultivation. Living in the villa for almost half a year, it was really making her anxious.

"Alright then!"

Gao Ya looked at Shen Yan but didn’t say much. From the villa’s decorations and items, she could tell that Shen Yan was not short of money, so being an assassin was likely not her main occupation.

At this moment, Gao Ya didn’t know that all the valuable items in Shen Yan’s villa were stolen from Zhou Xianyi and his son. However, one thing was true: Shen Yan indeed didn’t become an assassin for money, but for the sense of achievement after killing a target.

After being rejected by Shen Yan, Gao Ya continued to observe the situation at the Liu Family’s villa with a telescope. The more she observed, the more furious she became. Finally, she decided to make a move on Tang Ming herself once again.

After making the decision, Gao Ya returned to her room to organize her equipment.

"What exactly is this woman’s identity?"

After Gao Ya left, Shen Yan stood up doubtfully and walked to the window. "Her previous surveillance actions and the angles she chose were very perfect; she already has the qualities of an assassin. Could she be in the same line of work as me?"

Thinking of this, Shen Yan suddenly realized that with Ouyang Xiao’s identity, the people who could become her friends were by no means ordinary. Even if Gao Ya was an assassin, it wouldn’t be surprising.

However, Shen Yan did not ask any questions. In the assassin circle, inquiring about a peer’s business was a big taboo. As long as the other party didn’t threaten her, they would pretend to be unaware of each other.

"Sigh! I don’t want Tang Ming, this prey, to be killed by someone else, but Gao Ya is Ouyang Xiao’s friend and is seeking revenge for Ouyang. I can’t stop her."

Shen Yan sighed, lifted her head, and looked at the yard of the opposite villa, "I hope that guy can survive Gao Ya’s assassination. Otherwise, I won’t have the chance to wait for him to recover his cultivation."

Not long after, a shabbily dressed, grey-haired old lady appeared at the front gate of the Liu family’s villa with a military green canvas bag.

The old lady walked with a limp, raised her trembling hands, and knocked on the villa’s gate.

Tang Ming, who was shoveling snow in the yard, heard the sound but didn’t respond. Instead, it was Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli, who were sitting on chairs chatting and eating seeds, who immediately jumped up to open the door.

"Old lady, who are you looking for?"

After opening the door, Liu Mengting looked at the old lady in confusion.

"You beautiful young ladies, please have pity on this lonely old woman. I haven’t eaten for three days. Could you give me some money to buy some food?"

The old lady looked waxy-faced and pitifully told Li Xiaoli and Liu Mengting about her tragic experience; she was driven out of her house by her daughter-in-law during the New Year and now had nowhere to go...

"So pitiful!"

After hearing the old lady’s story, Li Xiaoli was filled with sympathy.

"Old lady, come in first. We will find you something to eat."

Liu Mengting also sighed; throwing the old lady out during the New Year, her son and daughter-in-law were really cruel.

"That’s inconvenient, isn’t it? It’s enough if you kind people give me some money. I’m so dirty, I will dirty your yard if I go in."

The old lady hesitated and spoke worriedly.

"It’s okay, come in and sit for a while."

Liu Mengting smiled indifferently, welcoming her warmly into the yard.

"Oh!"

When the old lady entered the yard, Li Xiaoli suddenly stared at her feet and exclaimed.

"Xiaoli, what’s wrong?" Liu Mengting looked at Li Xiaoli in confusion.

"Ah, it’s nothing."

Li Xiaoli closed the door and replied.

Liu Mengting led the old lady into the yard and settled her on the chair where she and Li Xiaoli had been chatting. "Old lady, wait here, I’ll go get you some money."

"Okay, okay, thank you so much. Good people will be rewarded!"

The old lady nodded repeatedly, her gaze discreetly shifting towards Tang Ming, who was shoveling snow.

"Meng Meng, wait a moment."

Li Xiaoli suddenly pulled Liu Mengting, sympathetically looking at the old lady, "The old lady hasn’t eaten for several days. Even if we give her money, she will still need to buy food to fill her stomach. Why don’t we get her something to eat first to let her quell her hunger?"

"Xiaoli, you’re so clever. Why didn’t I think of that?"

Liu Mengting suddenly realized and patted her forehead, "There’s a lot of good food in the kitchen. Since you haven’t eaten for several days, how about we get you something to eat first?"

"Good, good."

The old lady nodded repeatedly, cooperating, "I haven’t eaten for several days, I’m almost starving."

"Don’t worry, since you’re here, we will definitely let you have a good meal and then give you some money."

Li Xiaoli nodded solemnly, then pulled Liu Mengting towards the villa.

After the two girls left, a gleam of light flashed through the old lady’s eyes. She fixed her gaze on Tang Ming, who was sitting on the snow shoveling car, and put her hand into the canvas bag.

"Damn bastard, since I couldn’t poison you, I will shoot you. I don’t believe that you can dodge the Soul Chasing Crossbow, which is faster than a bullet."

This old lady was indeed Gao Ya in disguise. After deciding on the assassination, she planned to sneak into the villa and use the most primitive method to kill the freak Tang Ming, who was immune to poison.
