My Perfect Female CEO-Chapter 875: Inhuman Assassins

Chapter 875: Inhumane Assassin

Lone Wolf couldn’t help but look at Qiu Wen with newfound respect. Qiu Wen’s analysis was razor-sharp, hitting the nail on the head, as if she had foresight, always able to pinpoint the crux of the problem, then unravel one useful clue after another. This ability earned his utmost admiration.

How could he have known that Qiu Wen was merely relaying Ye Fan’s analysis, and it took considerable effort to extract something useful to say.

"So, Miss Qiu, what do you suggest we do?"

Lone Wolf humbly sought advice. Of course, he had a great disdain for Qiu Wen, and this disdain hadn’t changed despite Qiu Wen’s stunning performance. He looked down on her because, in his eyes, Qiu Wen was merely an ordinary bodyguard, while he was a formidable Human Body Limit warrior. With such pride, he naturally dismissed Qiu Wen’s abilities, though he admired her sharp mind for the moment, it was only temporary.

He was following Tang Jian’an’s orders, eager to eliminate the criminals as quickly as possible. To quickly satisfy Tang Jian’an, he showed much more courtesy toward Qiu Wen.

"Break the norm, use unexpected methods, and wait for the criminals to deliver themselves to us." Qiu Wen said slowly.

She knew Lone Wolf had already taken the bait, so she wasn’t in a rush to reveal her cards, instead, she took it step by step.

"Specifically, what should we do?" Lone Wolf pressed on.

"If you were the criminal, knowing all the exits are trapped, would you foolishly walk into your demise?" Qiu Wen asked with interest.

"Certainly not." Lone Wolf suppressed his impatience, trying to exhibit sufficient patience.

"The criminals aren’t foolish. Among the five criminals, besides the inside-man security guard, the other four are likely experts. However, no matter how skilled they are, they can’t outmatch the numbers of the Tang Family. So it’s not difficult to guess, there’s likely no Human Body Limit warrior among them, and even if there’s a threat, it’s minimal. The criminals know exposing themselves easily would be a death sentence, so I suspect they might open a new escape route from the third or fourth floor of the hotel, either break through the walls or smash the glass to escape," Qiu Wen smiled.

"Miss Qiu’s thinking is bold yet reasonable." Lone Wolf couldn’t hide his amazement. He instantly had an idea, ordering his men to intensify their search and preparing to block the criminals’ escape routes.

Soon, Lone Wolf’s orders were executed strictly by the security team. With an inside-man among them, all the security personnel were filled with determination, eager to eliminate the criminals and catch their traitorous colleague to thoroughly interrogate the reasons behind it.

"Miss Qiu, if the criminals indeed carve out a new path, the fewer people watching, the better. Since you’re here to assist me, are you interested in handling the criminals with me personally?" Lone Wolf extended an invitation.

His invitation wasn’t simple; it was born out of selfish motives. The issues he couldn’t figure out were all solved by Qiu Wen. He refused to accept defeat and arrogantly believed his capabilities far exceeded Qiu Wen’s. While he lacked her analytical prowess, he thought once they encounter the criminals, Qiu Wen would be unable to cope. Then, he could make a magnanimous gesture by stepping in to help her—that was his plan.

"I was just thinking the same." Qiu Wen replied nonchalantly.

She appeared like a naive woman, unbothered by Lone Wolf’s intentions. With leisure, she reminded, "I suspect the criminals aren’t just those few individuals. There must be accomplices outside the hotel, so let’s act according to the situation."

"I understand. The orders I received are to completely eliminate the criminals." Lone Wolf said in a deep voice.

No matter what power the criminals belong to, offending the Tang Family meant they should be prepared for total annihilation.

......

Behind the hotel, in an unobtrusive alley, inside an ordinary van sat seven or eight men with tense expressions, unable to relax. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Boss, what should we do now? Our plan has failed and exposed us. Should we retreat and not care about their fate? If we leave traces, our chances of being exposed are high." A man said uneasily.

The ’Boss’ he addressed was a central figure in the Netherworld Organization, the mastermind behind this framing operation.

In the Underworld, he had a well-known nickname: Black Fox.

Black Fox’s face was unreadable, showing no emotion. His right finger tapped on his kneecap. After pondering for a moment, he said, "We don’t have enough men and can’t afford the losses. Those four may prove crucial at a critical moment, so they can’t be sacrificed. I’m confident that no matter how swift the Tang Family reacts, they can’t catch our men. Once we pick up the four, we’ll lay low for now and plot again once things quiet down."

The four inside the hotel were Black Fox’s most trusted subordinates, the ace assassins of the Netherworld Organization.

The men around Black Fox were all well-trained assassins.

"Boss, if we alert the Tang Family, we will have no escape. Remember, the Tang Family tops the list of wealthy families. Challenging their prestige on their turf invokes a wrath that is destructive." An assassin still felt uneasy, ready to sacrifice the four within the hotel for the greater good.

"There’s an old saying, the most dangerous place is often the safest. We just need to use our brains more, what is there to fear?" Black Fox said confidently.

The assassin beside him wanted to argue, but Black Fox sternly admonished, "Follow orders precisely, no mistakes allowed. Once our men escape the hotel, support them swiftly and then withdraw according to the original plan."

"Yes!" The assassins answered respectfully, and none dared utter another word of nonsense.

At this moment, shortly after the charity gala concluded, the lights brightened the night. Yet, behind the hotel, the lighting remained dim.

On the third floor of the hotel, within a storeroom, the security guard Shi Haizhong looked at the four assassins in front of him. They had already opened a breach through the glass and were ready to escape using ropes. With a face ashen, Shi Haizhong said, "I’ve done as you asked. My wife, she’s safe, right?"

Shi Haizhong’s family wasn’t wealthy, not even middle class. He had only gotten married a month ago. So, when his wife was taken hostage by assassins, he had no choice between his loyalty and his wife’s safety.

He couldn’t let his wife’s life hang in the balance and disregard it. Otherwise, what would make him different from a beast?

So, he had no choice but to betray the Tang Family.

He knew the consequences of betraying the Tang Family were severe, but he was driven to this point, forced to follow the assassins’ orders.

"Forgot to tell you, your wife is pregnant, but you’ve been too busy to know." An assassin said sinisterly.

The joy that just sprang onto Shi Haizhong’s face was extinguished like a fierce fire suddenly doused.

Another assassin added with a cruel smile, "Also forgot to mention, your wife’s quite tasty. She’s already waiting for you in heaven. It wasn’t us who killed her. She had too strong a personality to endure our brothers’ love and ended up killing herself."

"Demons, you inhuman demons, I’ll kill you, kill all of you," Shi Haizhong’s rage surged like a tide, and he charged towards the assassin who spoke.

He clung to a shred of hope that these monstrous assassins might have a hint of humanity, thus ensuring his wife’s safety.

Never could he have imagined such a tragic end.

He couldn’t fathom the extent of humiliation his wife suffered.

He had lost his mind, filled with an overwhelming desire for vengeance.

"Worthless than pigs or dogs, yet you dare to make a scene in our presence. Watching your change of expressions is a great pleasure, indeed." The assassin’s face turned sinister, leaping up like a specter and delivering a lightning-fast kick to Shi Haizhong’s chest.

Shi Haizhong was sent flying.

The four assassins didn’t spare Shi Haizhong a second glance as they began fleeing along the ropes.

To them, Shi Haizhong was akin to a pesky bug, not worthy of even a slight concern, easily crushed underfoot, no big deal.

Shi Haizhong lay on the ground, blood gushing from his mouth, his body convulsing. The assassin’s kick had shattered his ribs, which now pierced his heart.

He was nearing death.

Only his body continued to twitch reflexively.

From deep within his eyes, the visions of his wife’s expressions and demeanor surfaced.

A look of relief appeared on his face. Indeed, it was relief. He hoped for release. If he survived, he wouldn’t have the courage to endure, nor did he find any meaning in living on.
