Chapter 414: Tragic Female Assassin 2

Leng Xuan understood Qi Yue’s intentions, but for caution’s sake, he didn’t immediately allow her to speak, saying, "You want to talk, huh? I can let you speak, but if you start screaming, the next time I seal your mute acupoint, you might never be able to open your mouth again, understand?" With that, he released Qi Yue’s mute acupoint.

"Cough, cough!" Qi Yue coughed a few times, glaring at Leng Xuan with resentment. However, seeing his expressionless face, she suddenly felt somewhat intimidated. After all, although she could now speak, her hands and feet were still unable to move, so she said pitifully, "Why have you kidnapped me? Are you after money?"

Leng Xuan slightly curled his lips, thinking this girl still trying to act tough? But when he heard her ask if it was about money, he couldn’t help but be struck by the thought. Wasn’t he currently in need of funds to open a leisure center? Since she had come to him, perhaps he should extort a sum from her. Why not, when she was after his life? Yet outwardly, he remained impassive and said, "Stop pretending. Tell me, who sent you to kill me?"

Seeing Leng Xuan’s demeanor, Qi Yue knew she was not dealing with an ordinary person. Continuing to hide the truth seemed meaningless and could lead to her being tortured for information. So it was better to be honest to avoid unnecessary suffering. However, there were codes among assassins, and the identity of the employer was absolutely confidential. She replied, "Fine, I admit I came to kill you. But I won’t tell you who hired me. Unless I die!" The determination in her last statement showed that she was indeed a qualified assassin.

Having been an assassin himself, Leng Xuan understood the rules of the trade. If an assassin betrays their employer, they cannot survive in the business, and more serious consequences could include assassination by the organization itself. Although he didn’t know who sent Qi Yue to kill him, she was just an assassin with no personal vendetta against him. Believing in mercy, and as a former peer, he didn’t intend for Qi Yue to die. After consideration, he said, "Is that so? Then how much is my life worth?"

Qi Yue hesitated for a moment before replying, "Two million!"

Leng Xuan couldn’t help but touch his nose. Was his life really worth so little? In the past, a certain country in Europe offered fifty million US dollars for his head. Yet he laughed and said outwardly, "So I’m worth that much? Heh, what about you?"

"Huh?" Qi Yue was taken aback, asking, "What?"

Leng Xuan said, "How much are you worth?"

Qi Yue’s heart leaped with joy, interpreting Leng Xuan’s words as a sign he didn’t intend to kill her but only wanted ransom. It was just money, after all, and her mom had plenty. But she wasn’t foolish and kept her elation from showing on her face. After pondering with a troubled look, she said, "I should be worth a million, I guess!" In her view, although Leng Xuan was no ordinary person, he was still just a high school student. Offering him a million to let her go should make him quite happy, right?

However, to Qi Yue’s disappointment, Leng Xuan showed no interest upon hearing she was worth a million, but instead, laughed mockingly, "A million? You think so little of yourself?"
