Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 452: Something Fishy

Cheng Jiaojiao and Shi Qiao’an heard Lin Ruixian’s words and finally let go of each other’s hands, moving their chairs to sit by Lin Ruixian’s hospital bed: "I’ve already sent people to guard your house. You can rest assured and recover here; I’ve also arranged people around this hospital. Those who hurt you won’t come again."

Unless... those people have no regard for their lives.

Lin Ruixian nodded. Having just recovered, he was exceedingly exhausted after saying only a few words.

He barely mustered some spirit to tell Cheng Jiaojiao and Shi Qiao’an the information they wanted. He didn’t even have time to explain how he was stabbed before falling into a deep sleep.

Looking at his pale, bloodless face, Cheng Jiaojiao held Shi Qiao’an’s hand and asked: "Is there any clue about that person?"

As soon as she received Lin Ruixian’s email, she rushed over, but the situation she encountered left her no attention to spare. She only managed to send the information she knew to Shi Qiao’an in the ambulance before staying in the hospital.

"The investigation is already underway." Shi Qiao’an stroked his girlfriend’s face: "You’ve been here so long; aren’t you tired? Why don’t you go and get some rest? I’m enough here."

Cheng Jiaojiao shook her head: "No, I’ll stay here with you. I haven’t seen you in half a month."

Shi Qiao’an faintly smiled, "Aren’t you tired?"

Cheng Jiaojiao shook her head again: "With you, I’m not tired."

Shi Qiao’an didn’t say more but held Cheng Jiaojiao’s hand quietly by Lin Ruixian’s bed, his voice very low: "The people of the Heimu Organization have started acting again in the country, and orders have been given from above to eradicate them completely! This time, there must be no more potential threats left behind."

Last time, it was due to carelessness that they left them a chance to breathe.

Now, the Heimu Organization not only killed our people but also caused extensive casualties in various cities.

No matter what, they must never be given a chance to make a comeback again.

Cheng Jiaojiao responded with a "hmm," "But that’s easier said than done. Even Lin Ruixian was injured so badly; clearly, they’ve added some fresh blood to their ranks. By the way, is there any clue at Lin Ruixian’s home?"

When Lin Ruixian entered the operating room, Cheng Jiaojiao slowly calmed down from her fear.

Although Lin Ruixian’s skills weren’t as well-honed as others in the organization, taking on seven or eight people at once was absolutely possible.

Moreover, his abilities were so unique, why was he injured like this?

Shi Qiao’an glanced at Lin Ruixian lying in bed, his brow slightly furrowed: "Only two sets of footprints were found. One person seemed to have entered Lin Ruixian’s home long ago, yet for some unknown reason, Lin Ruixian never discovered it!" Cheng Jiaojiao’s hand trembled: "Are you saying someone was lurking in Lin Ruixian’s house, waiting until another appeared to act together?"

Shi Qiao’an was noncommittal about Cheng Jiaojiao’s guess and after thinking for a while, he said leisurely: "Not necessarily, maybe that person infiltrated Lin Ruixian’s residence just to look for something. Because there were no footprints of that person in Lin Ruixian’s bedroom."

Cheng Jiaojiao sighed helplessly: "Let’s wait! Once Lin Ruixian wakes up, we’ll know what’s going on."

Shi Qiao’an nodded: "If it’s two people, it might actually be better."

Cheng Jiaojiao asked: "What do you mean?"

Shi Qiao’an looked at Cheng Jiaojiao: "If it’s two people working inside and out, first leaving Lin Ruixian with no room to retaliate, and then attacking, it would actually be somewhat better. If it’s one person, either they are so skilled that Lin Ruixian had no chance to retaliate or... the person’s abilities far exceeded Lin Ruixian’s, controlling him with no chance to fight back. Regardless, it’s all very tricky!"

Cheng Jiaojiao nodded, feeling guilty: "It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for me telling Lin Ruixian about this and asking for his help, he wouldn’t be like this now."

Shi Qiao’an looked at Cheng Jiaojiao, squeezing her hand firmly: "It’s okay, I asked the doctor, and as long as he recuperates well, he’ll return to how he was before."

Cheng Jiaojiao sighed: "But look at him now, just looking at him is painful."

Shi Qiao’an, feeling helpless, gently hugged Cheng Jiaojiao’s shoulders to comfort her: "Be good; just consider it as if I owe him. If he needs anything in the future, we’ll pay it back."

Cheng Jiaojiao leaned against Shi Qiao’an’s embrace: "If the organization finds out about this, will they blame you?"

Shi Qiao’an chuckled: "If they don’t find out, then there’s no problem, right?"

Cheng Jiaojiao didn’t speak, then sighed after a long while: "If only Gu Weiwei were here. With her around, Lin Ruixian wouldn’t have been hurt so badly, and our tasks would have been easier, sigh..."

Unfortunately, she’s already gone.

Shi Qiao’an also felt it was a pity: "With her, we wouldn’t have needed Lin Ruixian for tracking. And the recent recruits to the organization, hardly any of them can withstand real training..."

On this topic, Cheng Jiaojiao couldn’t help but pout: "Who can? Besides a ’freak’ like Gu Weiwei, probably not many others could bear it. Is the boss trying to train another Gu Weiwei?"

Otherwise, why suddenly start this kind of training?

Before, it was always the older members mentoring the newcomers, and naturally, the selected newcomers had their specialties, so there wasn’t much to worry about. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Shi Qiao’an just chuckled: "With the Heimu Organization reviving, but our organization’s severe personnel loss, the higher-ups have no choice but to take these measures."

Cheng Jiaojiao whispered: "Then why not ask Teacher Xia to come back? With Teacher Xia, there’s no worrying over finding a second Gu Weiwei."

Shi Qiao’an shook his head: "Teacher Xia can’t come back."

"Teacher Xia hasn’t let go?" Cheng Jiaojiao sighed: "So much time has passed, and Teacher Xia is still looking into the cause of Gu Weiwei’s death..."

Shi Qiao’an said: "Teacher Xia is unwilling to give up, plus the organization has never relented. Many things are not as simple as they seem."

"Indeed." Cheng Jiaojiao sighed, feeling some helplessness: "Back then, the top leader forcibly stopped Teacher Xia, and knowing Teacher Xia’s character, they would certainly not compromise easily."

"But there’s something I’ve always found puzzling, why is the top leader always stopping Teacher Xia from investigating Gu Weiwei’s death? That matter, clearly, is suspicious at every turn." Thinking of this, Shi Qiao’an furrowed his brows slightly: "I wonder when all this can return to calm..."
