Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg-Chapter 853: I Won’t Act Recklessly

However, his hand was now broken, and all his belongings had been taken away by Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng, leaving him utterly helpless.

In the end, the assassin sat on the ground with a dejected look, closing his eyes.

After seeing off the police and the assassin, Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng did not rest immediately. Instead, they examined the items taken from the assassin.

The assassin had brought plenty of items. Fortunately, they searched him; otherwise, with these items, it would have been a piece of cake for the assassin to escape.

Jiang Xue examined the items one by one; there was a handgun, a dagger, and a silver-white thread. Mu Qiancheng said it was Heaven Swallowing Silk, seemingly thin but extremely tough, impossible to break with ordinary means.

Such an item was a lethal weapon; as long as it wound around a person’s neck, it would mean certain death.

"Alright, Xue’er, put these away. We might need them in the future." Mu Qiancheng shoved everything towards Jiang Xue. He didn’t need them, but Jiang Xue could use them for self-defense.

"Okay, I’ll keep them." Jiang Xue didn’t refuse. Such good items were naturally worth keeping. They might indeed come in handy in the future.

"Xue’er, don’t use the gun yet. I’ll teach you how to shoot when I have time." Mu Qiancheng reminded Jiang Xue as she put the items away.

"Don’t worry, I won’t do anything reckless!" Jiang Xue smiled, storing everything away in her space.

"Let’s go. There’s still some time before dawn; let’s get some more sleep." Mu Qiancheng put his arm around Jiang Xue’s shoulder and led her to the room.

Returning to the room, they lay on the bed and quickly fell asleep. It wasn’t until the next morning, when daylight broke, that Jiang Xue awoke.

Upon opening her eyes, Jiang Xue glanced at the side, and Mu Qiancheng was already gone. She knew Mu Qiancheng had gone for a run.

Sure enough, just after Jiang Xue finished freshening up, Mu Qiancheng returned with breakfast. After the couple had breakfast, Mu Qiancheng went to work, while Jiang Xue dealt with the poison she had spread on the windowsill the previous day.

Meanwhile, at the police station, the poison in the assassin’s body flared up. He curled up on the ground, rolling and groaning in pain. If not for the poison attack, he almost forgot his physical discomfort.

The assassin, overwhelmed by the pain, kept banging on the door. Very soon, it attracted the police’s attention. Seeing the assassin’s condition, they immediately arranged for him to be sent to the hospital.

Watching the police car head to the hospital, the assassin’s eyes flickered as he screamed in pain while plotting his escape.

Escaping from the hospital was much easier than from the police station. So, after reaching the hospital, the assassin’s first request was for the doctor to restore his arm.

The doctor naturally was unaware of his identity and, seeing the police brought him in, assumed he was an ordinary citizen. Thus, he promptly helped reset the assassin’s arm.

With his arm restored, the assassin found it easier to move. Taking advantage of the doctor’s distraction, he knocked him out and changed into the doctor’s clothes, sneaking away quietly.

But the assassin underestimated the potency of the poison Jiang Xue administered. Just as he got a little distance from the hospital entrance, the poison flared up again.

The assassin intended to flee, but his body wouldn’t obey him, causing him to collapse to the ground, rolling in agony.

Meanwhile, the police realized the assassin had escaped, promptly reviving the knocked-out doctor and heading out to search for him.

As soon as they exited the hospital, they noticed a crowd gathered, unclear about what they were looking at. Curious, the police approached and saw the assassin, quickly handcuffing him on the spot.
