Chapter 305: Chapter 0305: Assassin Fire Snake

After Su Qi left, Lin Yingying closed the door and sat down beside Long Fei.

She took a sip of tea, noticed the note Long Fei had left on the coffee table, and muttered to him incredulously, "Still practicing, are you practicing the art of sleeping?"

She reached out and pinched Long Fei’s nose.

Long Fei made no response.

She simply couldn’t believe it and pinched Long Fei’s waist.

Still, Long Fei did not react; apart from breathing, he seemed to be hibernating.

"What did you do last night to be so tired?"

Lin Yingying muttered, full of suspicion.

She sniffed Long Fei and her womanly detective skills fully kicked in—she detected a peculiar scent.

It was the fragrance of a perfume, likely a bespoke blend from the Shangri-La Hotel.

Lin Yingying had stayed at various hotels during her business trips.

Moreover, Lin’s Group held shares in Binhai City’s Shangri-La Hotel.

She took out her phone and made a bored call to the manager there, while also sending over a photo of Long Fei, asking the manager to inquire on her behalf.

Although customer information should remain confidential, the manager quickly responded to her as a shareholder.

He sent Lin Yingying surveillance screenshots and even provided Long Fei’s room number from the previous night.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yingying felt a surge of jealousy.

Just as she suspected, Long Fei indeed was with Wang Xiaoya, and they had even booked a presidential suite.

In all the time she had known Long Fei, even their first time was in a shabby motel costing 80 yuan a night.

This bastard actually took Wang Xiaoya to a five-star hotel for a romantic getaway.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Her eyes wandered over the coffee table, and seeing a calligraphy brush there, she decided to play a mean trick.

Dipping it in the ink, she smeared Long Fei’s face, once again turning him into a painted clown.

In the end, she took out her phone and took a selfie with Long Fei, only then did she let this bastard off the hook.

After she left, she left Long Fei alone in the office.

On her way out, she specifically instructed Bai Xiaochun not to clean her office that night.

Night fell, and the building gradually quietened down.

Tomorrow being Saturday, everyone was eager to leave work and had made plans to relax at nightclubs and KTVs.

The President’s office door remained locked tightly; security came up for a check, turned off the master switch for the lights, and left reassured.

Down by the building, a blonde girl chewing gum circled around to the back of the office tower.

Her figure was curvy, dressed in a black tank top matched with tight leather pants.

Her eyes were sharp, wearing purple eyeshadow.

She wore a baseball cap on her head and carried a small bag on her back.

After making sure there was no one around, she took out a grappling hook connected to a rope from her bag.

The hook was thrown up and latched onto the air-conditioning bracket on the second floor.

Agile, she climbed up the rope with her hands, scaling the second floor in mere moments. She sent a jolt through into the window’s lock, breaking it.

She opened the window of an office and effortlessly climbed inside.

A smug smile curled on her lips as she muttered to herself, "Such a simple task, and they still sent me here, what a waste of my talents."

She was known as Fire Snake, a top-tier assassin of the Hell Sect.

Her original name, even she had forgotten, now only her code name remained.

Three days ago, she had just snuck ashore from the sea.

After learning about the target’s basic information, she decided to act tonight, intending to plant a remote-controlled bomb in the target’s office.

As soon as the target arrived at work, she would be able to detonate it at any moment.

The instructions from above suddenly came yesterday to cancel the mission.

But Fire Snake pretended not to have received this information; she rarely got a chance to take action and had to prove her strength.

Previously, a Yellow Rank assassin was easily killed, utterly disgracing the Hell Sect’s reputation.

Hell Sect had dispatched her to regain face.

Now, her targets included not only this beautiful CEO but also a man.

This man was none other than Long Fei, someone who dared to offend their Hell Sect.

No matter the reason, he had to die.

She took the elevator to the top floor, and easily opened the CEO’s office door, thanks to the information obtained beforehand and observations from the past two days.

For the last two days, she had been delivering takeout.

Her efforts were finally about to bear fruit.

The CEO’s office consisted of an outer section for clerks and an inner section for the CEO’s own office.

Fire Snake opened the door to the inner office, took out a flashlight from her bag, and prepared to find a place to plant the bomb.

The moment she turned on the flashlight, a figure on the sofa gave her a fright.

She frowned, quickly turned off the flashlight, and rolled to the side.

The figure remained motionless for a long time.

Fire Snake wrinkled her brows, thinking she might have seen a mirage, so she decisively put on night-vision goggles for a look.

It was no illusion; there was indeed a figure lying on the sofa.

She cautiously approached, staring intently at the figure.

She saw a man lying face down on the coffee table, his face covered in a red, blood-like substance.

Her heart shuddered, thinking to herself, could it be there’s been a death here?

What she didn’t know was that the substance on Long Fei’s face wasn’t blood at all, but cinnabar Lin Yingying had applied to him.

However, in the dead of night, it looked just as red and gory as blood.

Fire Snake swallowed hard, shifted her gaze away from Long Fei, and continued to search for a spot to plant the bomb.

After all, she was here to kill, not to investigate a case.

It was none of her business if there had been a murder.

Since work wouldn’t resume until Monday, and there were two days in between, Lin Yingying might not come in.

She couldn’t just place the bomb anywhere, to avoid it being discovered by the janitor.

The office was empty and there weren’t many places to leave a bomb.

She stood up, meticulously scanned the room with her night-vision goggles, and finally set her gaze on a mahogany filing cabinet.

The cabinet was over two meters tall, and under normal circumstances, no janitor would clean that high up.

Approaching the cabinet, she reached up and easily hoisted herself onto its top.

The mahogany cabinet was very sturdy, easily supporting her weight of just over eighty pounds.

With one hand holding onto the top of the cabinet, she pulled a bomb out of her bag with the other, and placed it at the back on top of the cabinet.

After everything was set up, she curled her lips into a sly smile, jumped down, and clapped her hands, saying, "Such a simple task, really a waste of my time!"

She slung her bag over her shoulder and turned to leave.

But as she stepped forward, she stumbled onto something with a thud.

A chill ran down Fire Snake’s back as she quickly leaped backward, drawing a sharp dagger from her bag at the same time.

Her night-vision goggles focused on the object in front of her.

It wasn’t an object at all, but a person with a face smeared in fresh blood.

In the dead of night, a tall figure stood before her, eerily.

And his face was covered in blood, his gaze vacant.

Any normal person would have been scared to death by now.

But Fire Snake was indeed Fire Snake, she steadied the Essential Qi within her body and snapped, "Are you human or ghost?"

Long Fei, still somewhat puzzled, had been sleeping so soundly that he’d lost track of time and had just woken up instinctively.

Then, he saw Fire Snake crawling around on the cabinet.

Long Fei thought he had encountered a thief, and with a cold voice, he said, "I was about to ask you the same thing—are you human or ghost?"
