Chapter 1084: Chapter 1053: Red Rose, Rejected at the Door

The assassin’s eyes flashed with a venomous gleam upon hearing these words.

The organization he belonged to was not one to be trifled with.

If this person was seeking death, then he would be granted it.

As an assassin, there was nothing to fear in death, having already failed the mission. He told Huo Yingjie everything he knew.

Huo Yingjie listened carefully, not missing a single word.

"Is that all?" About half an hour later, when the assassin had finished, Huo Yingjie asked.

The information was indeed of little use.

The assassin nodded, "Yes, that’s everything I know. I hope it can be of help to you. As you said before, give me a quick end."

After all, he was already dead; he didn’t want to suffer even after death!

"As you wish." Huo Yingjie nodded, and the white of the assassin’s eye that had been before him dissipated into nothingness.

After the interrogation, Huo Yingjie gently lay beside He Tiantian.

He Tiantian, feeling the familiar presence, rolled into Huo Yingjie’s embrace, opened her groggy eyes to glance at Huo Yingjie, and continued to sleep.

Huo Yingjie gently patted He Tiantian’s back; He Tiantian had suffered too much this time.

Huo Yingjie didn’t sleep, instead he mulled over the words the assassin had spoken.

The organization was the fifth-ranked international assassin organization, known as Solo, headquartered in Italy, with branches on all five continents.

The assassin was among the top ten within Solo, belonging to the Asia Branch in Hokkaido, Japan.

This task must have been assigned via the Asia Branch, indicating the employer was Asian.

This matched Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian’s speculation—perhaps it really was Liu Lingli.

Thus, Huo Yingjie gathered some useful information and then planned how to go to Hokkaido, Japan, to find further evidence.

This incident had indeed frightened Huo Yingjie.

Hence, Huo Yingjie immediately conjured a clone to stay beside He Tiantian, and then he himself went to Hokkaido, Japan, to identify the employer as soon as possible.

With the information provided by the previous assassin, Huo Yingjie reached the Japanese branch by dawn.

Huo Yingjie turned invisible; and being knowledgeable in various modern high-tech, he easily breached one line of defense after another, arriving at the central area of the branch.

Since it was daytime and the place was manned, Huo Yingjie couldn’t act recklessly.

He had to wait until night to continue the search.

As expected, Huo Yingjie found the employer, someone named Code name Red Rose.

Heh, Red Rose, huh?

It sounded like a pseudonym right away.

Even so, it was good—it narrowed down the scope, and given that such a name was used, it was likely a woman.

Take the money and avert the disaster for someone else.

Since the organization had already dispatched the assassin, it meant they had received part of the money from the employer.

Therefore, there must be a record of the money transfer.

Based on the records alone, Red Rose could be found.

Huo Yingjie searched and found that the money had been transferred from Swiss Bank.

Instead of going to Swiss Bank to look up the transfer records, Huo Yingjie thought of a simpler method: divination.

But I can’t do it here.

Because He Tiantian is his wife, Huo Yingjie usually can’t accurately predict his wife’s safety, especially now that He Tiantian has regained her former memory and energy, which makes it even more difficult than before.

If he insisted on doing it, he would inevitably suffer backlash.

Suffering backlash here is obviously not a good place, better to go home, at least it’s safe, with people to take care of things.

After receiving this information, Huo Yingjie made up his mind to go home and continue.

The Snake King arrived early at He Tiantian’s house and went invisible.

However, he was stopped outside and couldn’t enter.

Little Rotating Turtle, thinking someone was intruding, peeked out cautiously from the top of the wall and saw the Snake King.

"Stupid turtle, don’t even recognize me?" the Snake King laughed, "Hurry up and open the barrier, let me in."

When Little Rotating Turtle saw the Snake King, he was naturally very happy and said with a smile, "Snake King, didn’t you return to the Demon Realm? Why are you back again?"

"I felt that Tiantian was in trouble, so I came to rescue her," the Snake King said. Though this turtle was not so bright, meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land, the Snake King was still pleased.

"Is the lady already safe?" Little Rotating Turtle asked, "How is the master doing?"

"With me, the Snake King, taking action, of course, everything is fine," the Snake King said. "Alright, enough talk, just let me in quickly."

Little Rotating Turtle thought for a moment and said, "No can do!"

The Snake King was baffled and frowned, "Why not? I’m Tiantian’s friend, aren’t I?"

He had just thought this turtle was rather nice, but now he found it truly annoying.

"Uh, the master said that without his permission, no one is allowed in," Little Rotating Turtle explained dutifully. "I don’t have profound mana, I can’t defeat you, and I can’t guarantee that you won’t harm the people in the yard."

Pah!

This stupid turtle and his master are both so annoying.

"I made all this effort to come to the Human Realm to save your lady and master, and you still won’t let me in. Is this how you treat your guests?" the Snake King raged. Huo Yingjie bullied others, and this stupid little turtle also bullied others.

"Snake King, I’m sorry, I don’t want to do this, but I must," Little Rotating Turtle said. "I have to protect the safety of my family."

The Snake King was angry but also knew that Huo Yingjie was probably scared. Thinking it over, it seemed normal, so he nodded and said, "Alright then, I’ll wait outside. But you have to chat with me, only then will I forgive you."

Seeing that the Snake King wasn’t angry anymore, Little Rotating Turtle nodded eagerly, "Mhm mhm, I will tell all that I know."

In the following two days, the Snake King learned about the events of the past ten years from Huo Yingjie’s standpoint.

His feelings were a complex mix, full of sighs and reflections.

Every day, Little Rotating Turtle also brought delicious food to the Snake King, whose temper gradually subsided. After leaving for ten years, he was getting further and further away from He Tiantian’s life.

Meanwhile, He Tiantian also arrived in Hainan and immediately boarded a military plane to fly directly to Yanjing.

He Tiantian was first taken to a military hospital for an examination and rest before finally going home.

Upon arriving home, He Tiantian was welcomed by her family.

But the three children were somewhat puzzled, the grandparents, the grandpa and grandma, the external grandpa and grandma, were all too enthusiastic, weren’t they?

Mom was just away for a competition, after all.

The adults knew about He Tiantian’s accident, but they hadn’t told the children, so they were unaware.

"What exactly happened?" He Jingyu asked, "Tell me in detail."

He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie had discussed it and decided to tell the grandmother about the assassination attempt so they would also be vigilant.

"Grandma, we were attacked by an assassin," He Tiantian said. "Someone wanted to kill me, but before we realized it, the assassin had already killed the captain and flight attendant. I was able to parachute to safety thanks to the protection of Wei Yuanyuan and Cui Ying, and that’s why I survived."
