Furious!

165: Chapter 165: Female Assassin!

Furious!

Dead of night!

Someone’s knocking on my door!

Wu Jie secretly rejoiced, but after only two steps, he stopped.

“Fuck!

Keep calm!

Keep calm!”

He took a deep breath, was just about to step forward, and then the knocking came again.

“Is it the room service?”

This time, it was Tang Xiao asking from the bathroom.

She had finished washing up, emerged from the bathroom while drying her hair with a towel, and asked:

“What are you standing around for?

Go open the door!”

Wu Jie paused, feeling something was off.

There are rules to this business.

Wu Jie and Tang Xiao, a couple, had checked into the hotel—something the makeshift brothel staff surely knew.

Even if they’d provide services in the middle of the night, they’d definitely look for single men, not knock on my door, right?

“You said it’s room service, did you call for it?”

“Yeah!

We’re out of toilet paper!”

Wu Jie sighed inwardly and cursed, “Got my hopes up for nothing, thought I’d get a little show!”

He went to the door and glanced through the peephole.

A typical middle-aged woman.

About thirty years old, slightly plump, wearing a mask so you couldn’t make out the details of her face.

Too bad she was dressed in the hotel uniform, pushing a service cart—not at all the massage girl you’d expect.

He opened the door and stepped aside.

“Good evening, sir!”

The woman, pushing her cart, was about to enter the room.

Wu Jie frowned.

Odd!

Just here to change the toilet paper, right?

No need to push the cart inside, is there?

In the very instant Wu Jie became alert…

The woman suddenly drew a gun from underneath the cart handle, and with a “pop,” fired a shot at Wu Jie.

Her draw was swift; her shot, even quicker.

Wu Jie ducked reflexively, dodging the bullet.

In the next instant, he pounced forward like a tiger springing for its prey.

Tang Xiao’s reaction was just as fast.

The moment the female assassin drew her gun, Tang Xiao threw the towel she was holding at her, trying to obscure her vision.

At the same time, she shot forward like a catapult, delivering a swift and powerful high side kick.

The female assassin’s shot missed, and she immediately darted out of the room.

Her movements were incredibly fast, and she didn’t forget to shoot blindly behind her while fleeing, laying down suppressive fire to prevent Wu Jie and Tang Xiao from chasing her.

Pop, pop, pop…

The silencer muffled the gunshots, emitting a series of low booms.

Wu Jie lunged forward, grabbing Tang Xiao around the waist, then both of them rolled on the ground several times.

Quickly, the gunfire stopped.

Wu Jie let go of Tang Xiao and immediately got up to chase after her.

Unfortunately, the hallway was already empty.

“Don’t bother chasing!”

Tang Xiao yelled from inside the room.

From the moment the female assassin entered to her rapid escape, the whole ordeal lasted but a few seconds.

Decisive in action, quick to retreat.

This was undoubtedly a well-trained professional killer.

“Motherfucker, that was close!

Nearly ruined my handsome face!”

Wu Jie entered the room, grumbling and swearing.

Tang Xiao rolled her eyes, “Ruining your face?

You’re lucky she didn’t blow your head off.

Consider yourself fortunate!”

Speaking, Tang Xiao picked up the bullet casings one by one, and then reached out to touch the bullet holes in the wall.

Before the female assassin left, she fired her gun several times, scattering a few bullet holes quite widely.

Therefore, chasing after her with bare hands, in such circumstances, was surely a death wish.

“It’s just like acting in a movie, damn exhilarating!”

Wu Jie leaned in, using a nail clipper to pry out the twisted and deformed bullet, which was still hot.

“Fuck!

It’s a real piece!”

Tang Xiao scoffed, “Isn’t that obvious?

And obviously, it was aimed at you.

The mastermind behind this is either Xu Kuishan or Meng Sihua.”

Wu Jie cursed, “Damn it, to think someone got their hands on a gun, and a silenced one at that.

That’s really something!”

Tang Xiao stood up with a forced smile, shaking her head:

“This you don’t understand.

Look at these casings, subpar craftsmanship, poor silencing, clearly knock-offs from a workshop.

But the twisted and deformed lead bullet, though not deep, could still kill someone!”

“With today’s advanced manufacturing, it’s easy to produce replicas with CNC machine tools!

However, the propellant and primer aren’t as easy to come by, so these kinds of weapons workshops must have experts in mechanics and chemistry.”

Wu Jie swore, “I don’t care where this female assassin got the silenced gun.

Damn it, the ones who know where I live and have enough motive to kill, besides Meng Sihua, who else could there be?”

“You can’t rule out the Xu Family!” Tang Xiao pushed the cart out of the room and casually closed the door behind her, “Don’t forget, when Xu Kuishan gets angry, he’d even dare to hit Elder Huo.”

“Damn it!

Having a professional killer take me out, they really think highly of me!”

Wu Jie turned around to leave.

“Where are you going?”

“To notify my parents, man.

We’re going to switch hotels!”

“No need!

You’re already being watched.

Wherever you go, they’ll follow.

Better to get some sleep and when we get back to Tianyuan, we’ll draw them out and finish them off in one fell swoop!”

Tang Xiao’s tone was relaxed, not treating it as a big deal, cool and collected.

If it were any other girl who had encountered such an attempted murder, they probably would have been screaming and crying by now.

“You mean, they’re a gang?” Wu Jie asked with doubt.

Your average Joe would consider a group brawl a big deal, who has ever experienced something like what happened today?

Seeing Wu Jie’s confused face, Tang Xiao lay back down on the bed to avoid aggravating her old wounds and then began to explain:

“Taking money to eliminate disasters!

Assassins are a special occupation that specifically solve problems for their employers!”

“Assassins are not solitary individuals.

They often operate in tightknit organizations, as teams.”

“Some are responsible for drawing business, taking orders, others for assessing missions and gathering intelligence, and then others for training and equipment…”

After a brief pause, Tang Xiao explained, “There are three reasons I didn’t let you chase after her!”

“Firstly, if you chased her, you’d most likely walk into an ambush.

If I were the assassin, I’d definitely arrange for backup to wait in hiding.”

“Next, you’re unarmed.

Though you’re skilled in martial arts, can you withstand a gun?

Professional assassins are quick to reload!”

“Lastly, if they dared to come after you, they would have planned it meticulously.

You are in the open and they lurk in the shadows, impossible to defend against.”

“Don’t forget, I called for room service, and instead, the assassin came knocking.

Clearly, there’s a mole in the hotel.”

Wu Jie said jokingly, “So what, we don’t call the cops?”

Tang Xiao laughed, “It’ll be impossible to investigate.

They won’t leave behind any surveillance footage or fingerprints.”

“It’s best when we get back to Tianyuan, here in Liuli City, we’re outsiders, easily on the back foot!”

Wu Jie nodded slightly and lay back on the sofa.

Thinking back to those terrifying seconds from just before, and seeing the ghastly bullet holes in the wall, he grew more and more infuriated.

“Damn it!

If I’d known this would happen, I should’ve finished it this afternoon!”

“But since it’s come to this, they can’t blame me for not being polite!”

Muttering to himself, Wu Jie got up and turned off the lights.

He lay on the sofa for a long time, figuring that Tang Xiao must have fallen asleep by now.

Only then did Wu Jie quietly rise and tiptoe towards the door.

“Where are you going?” Suddenly, Tang Xiao’s voice cut through the darkness.

“Can’t sleep.

Gotta kill someone to calm my nerves!”

Tang Xiao asked irritably, “Whether it’s Xu Kuishan or Meng Sihua, they’re both still in the hospital, what are you doing?

Walking into a trap?”

“If I want someone dead by the third watch, they won’t live to see the fifth watch!”

With a bang, Wu Jie closed the door and left.

“Are you insane?”

Tang Xiao immediately got out of bed, barefoot, and opened the door to give chase…
