Ye Tian frowned slightly, "More terrifying than the previous place?"
Zhang Chuan nodded, "I've only gradually discovered in the past six months that my father-in-law is no ordinary person. He controls a very powerful assassin organization. He has at least five hundred assassins trained under him. As for how many have completed their training, I don't know. These assassins take a potion at regular intervals, but after taking it, some of them become disabled or die. However, those who survive become very powerful. Some powerful assassins have even taken the potion five times and are called five-star assassins."
Ye Tian: "Zhang Chuan, how did you discover all this?"
Zhang Chuan sighed, "Naturally, he wanted me to discover it. Perhaps he wanted me to adapt to a new identity, or even join them."
Ye Tian: "You're unwilling?"
Zhang Chuan: "I just want to live a normal life. So, that day I asked my wife if she wanted to come home with me to visit relatives. My wife said she was busy and couldn't get away, so I said I'd bring our daughter, and she agreed."
"So, I took my daughter and drove back to China. After a day's journey, we temporarily rested at a hotel in a small county town. But when I woke up, my daughter was gone, and then I saw the note left by my wife."
Ye Tian frowned, "What did the note say?"
Zhang Chuan sighed deeply, "My wife told me that she already knew I wouldn't be going back. As a couple, she didn't want to make things difficult for me, and she would talk to my father-in-law. However, I couldn't take our daughter away. Firstly, she's still young and can't be separated from her mother. Secondly, if I took our daughter away, my father-in-law would absolutely not let me off."
"After leaving the county town, I went back to my hometown and saw my relatives. Although my family had been in contact with me, they were still worried about me. I didn't dare to tell them about what was happening outside. However, I couldn't just stay at home forever, so I thought of coming to the capital to find a job and earn some money to supplement the family's expenses."
He paused and then said, "However, I just arrived and don't have much money on me, so I can only ask you. I'm borrowing these one hundred thousand, five thousand will be sent home, and the other five thousand will be for travel expenses. I need to go back."
Ye Tian looked at him, "Since you've come out, why do you want to go back? Because of your daughter?"
Zhang Chuan nodded, "She's only a little over a year old, well-behaved and cute. I can't abandon her and let her live with a group of assassins."
Ye Tian shook his head, "I advise you not to go back. They have their own lives. Your wife is probably not an ordinary person. She let you go because of your marital affection. But if you go back again and try to take your daughter, do you think she will still let you off easily?"
Tears welled up in Zhang Chuan's eyes, "After being away for a month, I miss my daughter very much, and I miss my wife too. Ye Tian, I just want to ask you, should I go back and accept all of this?"
Ye Tian fell silent. He couldn't make decisions for others in such matters. Zhang Chuan's wife had her own stance, and Zhang Chuan also had his own stance. There was no right or wrong.
After a while, he said, "I can only say that as a brother, no matter what decision you make, I will support you."
Zhang Chuan nodded vigorously and raised his wine glass, "Good brother, cheers!"
After drinking a few bottles of beer, Zhang Chuan became a little drunk. Ye Tian booked a hotel nearby and helped him walk towards it.
As they walked down a dimly lit street, there were few pedestrians. Ahead, a man wearing a black tracksuit and a black mask stood like a ghost under the shade of a tree.
Ye Tian glanced at the man, then placed Zhang Chuan on a bench by the tree and walked towards the man, stopping five meters away from him.
The man said faintly, "Leave here, and pretend you don't know him."
Ye Tian asked, "What do you want?"
The man: "Don't ask questions, or you will regret it."
Ye Tian: "What if I don't leave?"
"Swish!"
A steel needle, about thirty centimeters long, flew out from the man's shoe tip like lightning, striking towards Ye Tian's heart like lightning.
