The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 528 - 492 Wuqi

"This tattoo?" Qiao Yuxian opened an encrypted album on her phone and found an image to show Wen Mingcheng.

It was a hand-drawn image.

Liu Zhou also leaned over to take a look.

Indeed, at first glance, it looked both like a tiger and a lion.

But upon closer inspection, it seemed like nothing at all.

"It’s this one," Wen Mingcheng said, "Where did it come from?"

"I saw it over at the Hacker Alliance," Qiao Yuxian replied, "I thought it was special, so I saved it."

"Do you know who it is?" Wen Mingcheng asked.

Qiao Yuxian shook her head, "No idea. I’ll look into it some more."

"Okay." Wen Mingcheng didn’t say anything further.

Not long after, he fell asleep again.

His body was already weak, and pushing himself to talk so much was surely exhausting.

Once he was sound asleep, Qiao Yuxian planned to leave.

Liu Zhou escorted her outside the hospital room.

As Qiao Yuxian was about to leave, Liu Zhou called out, "Sister Xian, you know whose tattoo that is."

He sounded very sure.

Qiao Yuxian looked at him.

Liu Zhou added, "You lied to President Wen because you were afraid he’d worry."

Qiao Yuxian looked at him, paused, then smiled slightly, "Have I been around you too long that I can’t even fool you anymore?"

"No," Liu Zhou replied, "It’s because after you left the room, you had murder in your heart."

In the hospital room, he really didn’t sense anything.

He genuinely thought she didn’t know.

But after she left the room, he sensed something was wrong.

There had to be a target.

Otherwise, having the intent to kill was pointless.

Qiao Yuxian clicked her tongue softly in her heart. She had just had this thought. Was she that obvious? Already detected?

"You’re too sensitive," Qiao Yuxian said.

The picture of the tattoo wasn’t something she hacked from the Hacker Alliance.

She had seen it with her own eyes, memorized it, and then drawn it later.

"Who is it?" Liu Zhou asked.

She hid it from Wen Mingcheng, fearing he’d worry. Wen Mingcheng said the person was formidable.

That person must be someone difficult to deal with.

He worried she’d go alone.

Seeing how relentless he was, Qiao Yuxian paused and then said two words, "Wuqi."

Liu Zhou’s pupils trembled.

Wuqi.

The number one assassin on the dark web’s killer list.

Never failed a mission he took on.

To this day, there has been no word of anyone who could defeat him.

And because of his level of formidability.

Very few people can hire him now.

Who would want to stir up conflict between the Gu Group and the Yunzhong Building, even paying a high price to hire Wuqi?

"Sister Xian, do you plan to find him?" Liu Zhou asked seriously, frowning.

"Am I crazy?" Qiao Yuxian replied, "Do I look like an impulsive fool? He’s so skilled, how could I possibly go looking for him."

Liu Zhou looked at her.

Qiao Yuxian said, "Would I really leave behind this wonderful life to find him? Who am I?"

Liu Zhou said nothing.

"I’m Qiao Yuxian, you know well what’s behind me," Qiao Yuxian said, "I’m also the Gu Family’s lady. You know what Gu Yanjing has. With so much power, would I be so foolish as to challenge him alone?"

Hearing her say this, Liu Zhou felt a bit relieved but still asked, "Really not going?"

"Not going," Qiao Yuxian said, "I just found out who it is and got angry. Besides, I don’t even know his whereabouts."

"For you, determining someone’s whereabouts isn’t that difficult," Liu Zhou said.

"It’s not that exaggerated. No matter how good I am, there have to be traces left by the other party; otherwise, my hacking skills can’t do much, like this time," Qiao Yuxian said earnestly, "Killers of Wuqi’s level, how could they leave traces? Even if I wanted to investigate, I couldn’t."

Liu Zhou felt she had a point.

Qiao Yuxian patted his shoulder, solemnly saying, "I’ll plan for the long term. Get ready, we might be in for a tough battle."

Liu Zhou nodded lightly.

"Alright. It’s been tough these days," Qiao Yuxian said, "I’ll head back now."

"Mm. Drive safely, take it slow," Liu Zhou said.

"Mm." Qiao Yuxian left directly for Taohua Manor.

Returning to Taohua Manor, she found that Gu Yanjing, Lu Mengyi, and the others hadn’t returned yet.

Only Meng Yan was there.

She exchanged a few words with Meng Yan and then went to her room.

In her room, she opened her computer and hacked into the Hacker Alliance.

Killers of Wuqi’s caliber.

Almost all orders to him have to go through the Hacker Alliance.

Because for both the killer and the one placing the order.

The Hacker Alliance is the most secretive.

Through the Hacker Alliance, no one can trace them.

Even if the targeted person knows who the killer is, the one placing the order is concealed by the Hacker Alliance, making it untraceable.

But they don’t know that the Hacker Alliance is hacked periodically.

The Hacker Alliance holds no secrets for Qiao Yuxian.

Qiao Yuxian uses the Hacker Alliance to gossip about some things.

She’s also the number one wanted target of the Hacker Alliance.

But the outside world doesn’t know why the Hacker Alliance is after her.

Qiao Yuxian hacked into the Hacker Alliance.

She quickly found information on Wuqi.

Following the trail of this information, she found the one who placed the order.

Qiao Yuxian looked at the information displayed on her computer.

Round and round, it still ended up connected to Gu Yanjing.

She looked at the information.

All the information ultimately converged on three words: Gu Zhengyu.

Qiao Yuxian stared at the computer, somewhat dumbfounded.

She remembered hearing Lin Huai Shu mention some things. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

When Gu Yanjing was young, he had a very good relationship with Gu Zhengyu.

Gu Zhengyu loved him dearly.

That kind of love wasn’t superficial, nor simply expressed verbally, but was shown through actions.

The kind of love that even Lin Huai Shu and Chu Zhengran envied.

Yet it all ended up in such a state.

Qiao Yuxian looked at the information on Gu Zhengyu.

Thinking about if it were herself.

A father she once loved so much, who once loved her so deeply.

If one day they became enemies.

Could she really bring herself to take action?

Just imagining it caused Qiao Yuxian pain.

She closed her eyes.

Suddenly, the phone on the bed rang.

Her thoughts were suddenly pulled back. She looked at the phone; it was Gu Yanjing calling.

Gu Yanjing said he hadn’t finished his work yet and told her he wouldn’t be back in the evening.

After he finished speaking, Qiao Yuxian didn’t respond.

Gu Yanjing waited for a while before asking, "What’s wrong? Unhappy? Encounter something?"

Qiao Yuxian looked at the computer, then after two seconds, she closed it and said, "You aren’t coming home tonight, how could I possibly be happy."

This time, it was Gu Yanjing’s turn to fall silent.

Qiao Yuxian chuckled softly and added, "Darling, I miss you."

Gu Yanjing got even more silent, leaving only the sound of his breathing.

Qiao Yuxian let out another laugh, teasing him further, "I just laid in bed, couldn’t sleep. Without you, no one to hold me, I can’t sleep."

Mr. Gu had been captivated by the little fox, rendered speechless.

Qiao Yuxian continued, "What should I do? Without you, I can’t sleep."

"You better be sleepless because I’m not there," Gu Yanjing’s voice was restrainedly cold, carrying a hint of vehemence.

Qiao Yuxian laughed even more joyfully.

Through the phone, Gu Yanjing sensed something off with Qiao Yuxian.

When the call first connected, he sensed her great disappointment.

Now, he could feel she was genuinely joyful.

These past few days, because of Wen Mingcheng’s situation, though she hadn’t shown it, there was always something on her mind.

Now those thoughts seemed to have disappeared.
