Chapter 368: Assassination (2)

Bang!

In the far distance away, Tang Bao Lu was still doing his usual conference. There were a lot of people who wanted his life, so there were always a lot of bodyguards around him. He has always been careful and they would check the venue before he came here in order to prevent anyone from assassinating him.

But at that moment, a bullet simply broke through their entire defense.

Thud!

Tang Bao Lu fell to the ground; his head was bleeding.

Scream and chaos followed.

...

Nan Hua disassembled the sniper gun at the fastest speed possible and put it all in the suitcase once more. The plastic that she used was simply thrown away and let it fly by the wind. It was picked up by her from the trash can in the bathroom, which was from the disposable mask’s wrapping. She walked to the ventilation, but found out that there was a fan inside, so it would be impossible for her to enter unless she stopped the fan first.

There wouldn’t be any time for that. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Nan Hua returned to the staircase and made her way to the tenth floor. She entered the man’s bathroom and put the suitcase back to the ventilation and closed it back to the original state.

As for how Qing Shu Lian will take it back, it was up to him.

Nan Hua walked to the sink and washed her hand and wiped her sleeve with the wet tissue.

There will be GSR (gunpowder residue) after each use of any gun. She had used a silencer, so no one will hear anything. But because of shooting the gun, there will be GSR on her body clothes, face, and hands.

For now, she could only wipe it out.

The plastic had minimized the GSR to her body, but there would still be some left.

After she had finished wiping, Nan Hua washed the tissue and then tossed the almost unrecognizable shape in the trash can. All these times, she was still wearing the gloves to prevent herself from leaving any DNA or other marks.

Nan Hua proceeded to climb out of the window once more and after walking to the side for some time, she jumped to the hospital rooftop.

Thud!

Rolling on the ground once to ease the momentum, Nan Hua stood up and walked to the staircase and walked to the ninth floor and entered the ventilation from there to reach the seventh floor once more.

After some climbing inside the ventilation, Nan Hua jumped of the of the ventilation and landed on the toilet once more.

She looked at the marks on the toilet seat and used the tissue to wipe it all off.

Once it was done, Nan Hua took off her jacket and turned it inside before wearing it once more. She put her hat and mask into her pocket while taking off the gloves and flush the toilet and then walked out of the cubicle.

Nan Hua walked to the sink and then washed the gloves from inside to outside thoroughly with water and soap.

Her eyes looked at her watch.

12 minutes.

Still within the acceptable time for women to stay in the bathroom.

After all, it was known that women liked to stay in the bathroom to fix their makeup and so on.

It was normal for them to stay a bit longer.

Nan Hua proceeded to wipe the gloves and then put it into her pocket again. After that, Nan Hua washed her face and wiped other exposed location with tissue before drowning the tissue. Once she was done with the preparation, she walked out of the bathroom as if nothing had ever happened.

For an agent and an assassin like her, killing people was something that she had done on daily basis.

With so many missions in the past, there were simply too many people who had died in her hand.

Too many to count.

Nan Hua walked along the corridor and entered the ward where Nan Xian Tang and the others were located.

"Hua’er, you sure take your time." Nan Xian Mu waved his hand happily when he saw Nan Hua’s return.

"Um." Nan Hua nodded. "It’s only 10 minutes."

"Is it?" Nan Xian Mu didn’t really pay attention. He only felt that Nan Hua has been gone for some time.

"You can use the bathroom in this ward. I haven’t used it." Nan Xian Tang pointed at the bathroom.

"No, the sound insulation is not good," Nan Hua replied.

Sound insulation?

The three men were speechless.

Well, whatever she said.

Since she’s the only girl in the room, the three men suddenly felt a bit awkward and chose to stop mentioning this matter. It seemed that what Nan Hua said to them was both reasonable and unreasonable?

Nan Xian Mu was contemplating whether he should ask his grandfather to fix the hospital and make the sound insulation in the bathroom better.

That way, Nan Hua didn’t have to go to the bathroom outside the ward.

But after thinking for a moment, he tossed the thoughts away from his mind.

It was not his business.

And he was not sure there would be enough funds to fix all the ward’s bathroom without it being excessive.

*cough*

"Sit down, I’m discussing with Xian Tang about playing together again in the dungeon from yesterday. This time, he will be the main attacker." Nan Xian Mu was more excited when he talked about game.

"Did you go to the dungeon without good attackers before?" Nan Xian Tang arched his eyebrows.

"Well, Hua’er level is too low." Nan Xian Mu coughed.

Nan Xian Tang looked at his cousins speechlessly. Even he knew that Nan Hua’s level was low and was not suitable for being the main attackers in the game. It seemed that he needed someone to keep Nan Xian Mu from forgetting about this matter.

Nan Xian Mu was smiling sheepishly.

"I don’t play a lot," Nan Hua explained as she walked pass the two boys and headed to the seat not far from Nan Xian Mu.

"I know, I know. You don’t have to force yourself to play!"

Nan Xian Yu’s eyes flickered when Nan Hua passed by him. He looked at this younger sister of his thoughtfully but said nothing.
