Chapter 1081 - 1050: Who hired the assassin?

Chapter 1081: Chapter 1050: Who hired the assassin?

Hearing this, He Tiantian could finally put her mind at ease.

If it were because of her that two people lost their lives, she would have been troubled for life.

Thankfully, everything went smoothly, and she felt no guilt.

This experience, though unbelievable, was also filled with unprecedented surprises.

What made He Tiantian even happier was that the Snake King had returned.

Old friends meeting was a joyous occasion. She had so many questions she wanted to ask the Snake King.

Right, the assassin.

"Brother Yingjie, an assassin tried to kill me," He Tiantian said, "The captain and stewardess on the plane were both killed by that assassin, and our plane was tampered with by that person, leading to a crash. We, we parachuted, and then caught up in an inexplicable storm······"

Huo Yingjie was not afraid of encountering Demon Night.

He was certain that Demon Night would not hurt He Tiantian when unprovoked.

But what about the assassin?

Who had hired the assassin?

"Assassin?" Huo Yingjie’s expression changed, "How did the assassin get on the plane? Wasn’t your plane a private one?"

"That person was disguised as a member of the flight crew; we just thought he was a normal attendant," He Tiantian explained. There had been male flight attendants before, so it didn’t arouse curiosity.

Wei Yuanyuan had also checked, but couldn’t figure out how he managed to bring guns on board.

"Yes, when we were about to parachute, we interrogated the man, but he did not know either," He Tiantian said, "I thought carefully, those who want me dead must bear a deep grudge against me."

However, He Tiantian had always been kind to others and had never maliciously harmed anyone, so how could she have enemies with such deep hatred?

"Do you have any idea who it might be?" Huo Yingjie asked, slightly hesitant. Assassins could be hired by anyone with enough money.

The person capable of hiring such a skilled assassin must be wealthy.

Without money, one couldn’t afford to hire such an assassin.

After some thought, He Tiantian remembered issues from her past life with the Qi Family.

In this life, the Qi Family had already received their just deserts.

Qi Jianguo was already dead, and Qi Fangfang had realized her place, so it was unlikely to be them; they also lacked the financial means to hire an assassin.

Although there were conflicts with Qi Shuli’s family, there was no desperate enmity.

As for Lin Xiaoru, even less likely; she was cautious with her life and also lacked the funds to hire an assassin.

Who could it be?

Suddenly, He Tiantian’s thoughts turned to a woman involved in a murder case who had yet to be captured.

"Could it be Liu Lingli?" He Tiantian ventured. Among all the people she knew, the one willing to kill and who had a feud with her fierce enough to incite murder was Liu Lingli, the fugitive murderer.

Huo Yingjie frowned, also recalling the ruthless woman.

Liu Lingli had committed serious crimes in Hujia Village, with three lives on her hands.

That woman had escaped and had not been caught to this date.

"When we get back, I will investigate," Huo Yingjie said, "I will find the person who tried to hurt you."

"Mhm, I believe in you," He Tiantian said. She had great faith in her husband’s abilities; for these matters she felt powerless, so she pinned her hopes on Huo Yingjie.

Huo Yingjie would not disappoint her.

It seems that after going out, I need to collect that assassin’s soul. Not much, just a wisp will do.

Then I’ll know which assassin organization it is, and it’ll be easier to investigate the employer behind it.

Huo Yingjie grilled two fish, and with He Tiantian’s biscuits and mineral water, they had a simple meal.

"Let’s leave," He Tiantian said, longing for home.

The sooner they could go back, the safer it would be.

She found it hard to accept this magical world, as if she were dreaming.

She loved the real world, everything about it.

At this moment, she especially wished to return to a familiar place, to feel the solid ground beneath her feet and experience the life of an ordinary person.

"Wait a second, I have a gift for you," Huo Yingjie spoke softly, not wanting to leave just yet; he intended to take everything about He Tiantian with him.

All the beauty of He Tiantian belonged to her!

"What’s wrong?" He Tiantian hesitated, unsure what Huo Yingjie was about to do.

"You’ll find out in a moment," Huo Yingjie said, standing by the sea of flowers and reaching out his hand.

Then the sea of Xiyu flowers swayed with the wind, all the petals being swept into the air, gradually compressing and gathering, smaller and smaller, turning into a hairpin, pink in color, with life-like Xiyu flowers on it.

Huo Yingjie took it in his hand and smelled it at the tip of his nose.

This was the fragrance.

He Tiantian was stunned, the sea of flowers that was before her a few seconds ago had now turned into bare branches and leaves, as all the petals became part of the hairpin.

"Do you like it?" Huo Yingjie asked, presenting it to He Tiantian.

He Tiantian paused, took the hairpin, and a familiar fragrance seemed to awaken even more dormant memories in her mind.

He Tiantian’s hand had been injured before, with a wound, and she had accidentally touched the sharp end of the hairpin to an old scar, causing fresh blood to emerge.

The hairpin absorbed the blood instantly.

Large chunks of continuous memory suddenly flooded into He Tiantian’s mind.

She was so shocked by the surprise that she couldn’t react and suddenly felt weak, passing out.

In her dream, He Tiantian’s mind rapidly filtered through everything from her past lives.

Huo Yingjie had not expected that making a hairpin for He Tiantian would cause her to remember so much.

He didn’t dare to move, holding He Tiantian on the ground, waiting for her to go through all the scenes of her past lives.

So that’s how it was.

He Tiantian understood now; in her previous lives, she and Huo Yingjie couldn’t be together, and although external factors played a serious part, there were also issues with the two of them that caused them to be apart in two lifetimes.

Fortunately, in this life, they had learned from their past failures and made changes, so they didn’t miss each other.

It was not until the setting sun that He Tiantian woke up.

When Huo Yingjie saw He Tiantian wake up, he quickly asked, "Tiantian, are you feeling alright?"

He Tiantian shook her head and looked seriously at Huo Yingjie, "Promise me, no matter how dangerous or difficult things we encounter, please tell me, and we will share it together. If we are not honest with each other, misunderstandings will arise."

Huo Yingjie nodded, "Mhm, I remember, I will never deceive you."

He had been doing just that all these years.

The sun had already set, and the sky was dimming.

"If we go out now, won’t we get soaked by the sea?" He Tiantian asked, thinking of the events of past lives, but all that was in the past. Whether it was love, hate or regrets, none of it mattered anymore.
