Chapter 131: One hundred thirty, assassination

Upon learning that the town mayor and Luo Shu had arrived at the Welcome Guest Hotel, the hotel’s Director Wu Qiang personally rushed to supervise the kitchen.

"Make sure you wash the dishes cleanly, and rinse the vegetables several times, they must be clean," he feared accidentally offending those few major figures, which could cost him his position as director in an instant.

After giving instructions to the wait staff, Wu Qiang walked over to the head chef, "Ah Zhong, arrange the dishes to look nice, make sure they’re exquisite, got it?"

"Of course, Director!" the head chef responded with a beaming smile, his motions growing even more nimble.

After taking another look around the kitchen and seeing no further issues, Wu Qiang hummed a tune and left the kitchen.

Heading to the second floor, Wu Qiang glanced towards the private room and after a moment’s thought, turned and made his way there. After all, he should at least go and greet the mayor and his party.

Wu Qiang came to the door of the private room, knocked lightly a few times, pushed the door open and walked in, smiling cheerfully at the three individuals inside, "Greetings, Mr. Mayor! And to the two Great Divine Doctors as well! I am Wu Qiang, the director of Welcome Guest Hotel. To have you visit our establishment really brings honor to Welcome Guest Hotel! If there is anything at all that doesn’t meet your satisfaction, please feel free to point it out, and our hotel will surely take it seriously and make amendments."

"Director Wu, don’t bother with the formalities, come and have a couple of drinks with us!" Li Changgen waved Wu Qiang over with a smile. The two of them were old friends.

"Oh, Mr. Mayor, you’re too kind! Then I shall not stand on ceremony," Wu Qiang said with a cheerful laugh as he sat down next to Li Changgen. He wanted to use this opportunity to grow closer to Luo Shu and Luo Qianyu. After all, these two were Great Divine Doctors; getting on their good side could only bring benefits in the future.

Just as Wu Qiang had taken his seat, the door to the private room was pushed open once more.

A beautiful waitress came in carrying dishes, set them on the table, and smiled slightly at the seated group, "Please enjoy your meal." When her eyes met Wu Qiang’s, she sent him a flirtatious wink.

Wu Qiang felt a tingle all over his body; if the situation were different, he would have surely crowned this Little Demoness with a few kisses - she was that enticing. The waitress’s name was Zhang Jiao, and having only recently joined the hotel, she was a distant cousin of one of his friends. Beautiful and clever, she had quickly won his favor. He already had plans to transfer her to the finance department after some time.

"Let me help clear these empty plates for you," Zhang Jiao said, still smiling as she reached for the empty plates on the table.

As she picked up the plates, her hand flicked like lightning, flinging a plate toward Luo Shu, and at the same time, a dagger unexpectedly appeared in her hand, thrusting rapidly towards Luo Shu.

Luo Shu dodged the dagger by shifting to the side, and while doing so, one hand chopped down on Zhang Jiao’s arm and the other quickly jabbed a few points along her waist. Luo Shu had noticed when Zhang Jiao was holding the plate, the calluses on her thumb and forefinger, as well as on either side of her index finger. It was a telltale sign that she was someone who often handled guns. She knew this because Lu Hanmo had the same calluses on his hands.

A waitress who was merely serving dishes in a hotel would never be one to carry guns. Therefore, as soon as Zhang Jiao made a move for the plate, Luo Shu had her eyes fixed on every single action.

Thinking about the accent in which Zhang Jiao had spoken, Luo Shu’s eyes suddenly lit up. If her guess was correct, this Zhang Jiao should be the sole escapee from the team that MD Country had sent to infiltrate Yan Country on a mission. Unexpectedly, she turned out to be a woman.

As Luo Shu made her move, Luo Qianyu quickly rose to his feet and, with extreme speed, grabbed Zhang Jiao’s other arm and mercilessly dislocated it. Daring to harm his sister, he had already shown restraint by not taking her life right away.

Wu Qiang and Li Changgen didn’t understand at all what had happened. By the time they caught on, all they saw was Zhang Jiao kneeling on the ground in agony.

"Xiao Zhang, why did you stab someone with a knife?" Wu Qiang asked in a somewhat panicked voice. Since he was the one who hired Zhang Jiao, he couldn’t escape responsibility for the incident.

Zhang Jiao’s face was pale, her forehead covered with cold sweat from the pain. Hearing Wu Qiang’s question, she sneered and gave him a cold glance.

Wu Qiang had never seen such an expression on Zhang Jiao’s face before. The chill in her eyes made him feel as cold as if he were in an ice cellar. Was she really the Zhang Jiao he knew?

"You must be from MD Country, right?" Luo Shu looked down at Zhang Jiao and asked indifferently. Although Zhang Jiao spoke quite standardly, Luo Shu had picked up on certain differences. In her previous life, she had many friends from MD Country, so she was very familiar with their way of speaking.

A flash of surprise appeared in Zhang Jiao’s eyes. It seemed she had underestimated her opponent. Yesterday, when the city leaders visited Luo Shu’s home, she had blended into the crowd, looking for an opportunity to kill Luo Shu, but Lu Hanmo had never left her side, leaving her no chance to act. What she didn’t expect even more was that Luo Shu’s combat power was so high.

"You infiltrated the hotel probably to poison, didn’t you?" Luo Shu didn’t wait for Zhang Jiao to answer and continued to ask.

"How could you know that..." A trace of shock appeared on Zhang Jiao’s face. She had been hidden in the hotel for so long without anyone noticing; Luo Shu was seeing her for the first time, so how could she know her identity?

Luo Shu curved her lips into a smile, "I naturally have my ways. Now tell me your reasons for wanting me dead." Actually, even if the other party didn’t confess, she could guess as much.

Zhang Jiao’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed from the severe pain in her arm, but her eyes remained calm, "If not for you, Cloud City would soon become a city of death under the effect of the virus. Moreover, the virus would keep spreading. Before long, you people of Yan Country would live in fear of the virus. By then, it would be easy for our MD Country to take over Yan Country, right?" Since the mission had failed, and she would be court-martialed by the Guard in MD Country if she returned, she would rather die in Yan Country. At least that way, her family wouldn’t be implicated by her.

"Do you have a phone?" Luo Shu asked Director Wu.

Director Wu hadn’t recovered from his shock. Hearing Luo Shu’s question, he slowly came back to his senses, "What did you say?" He found it impossible to believe that Zhang Jiao was a spy from MD Country, and the mastermind behind the poisoning incident. He was the one who had hired her into the hotel, and now he was done for!

"Do you have a phone?" Luo Shu asked again. Now that the person was captured, it was time to let Lu Hanmo take her away.

"Yes, come with me." Thinking of his own future, Director Wu deflated like a punctured ball, listless. He might lose his office over this, but if the security forces charged him with colluding with a spy, his life would be over.
