Kawata Mie was stunned, frozen.
She looked at Ye Cangtian, filled with confusion and doubt. Then, she picked up the two jade pendants. Except for the engraved characters, they were identical.
The jade pendant had always been worn by her. No one knew she possessed such a pendant, so it couldn't be fake!
Kawata Mie carefully recalled. She was young back then, so her memories were almost gone. However, she vaguely remembered having a sister.
With this thought, she quickly asked, "Do I really have a sister? Then, where is she..."
"Alive!"
Ye Cangtian smiled. He had never expected to help Gu Yue find her sister.
In fact, when he first met Kawata Mie, he had a suspicion, but later, seeing she was from Dongying, he didn't think much of it.
Not until he discovered the jade pendant she dropped earlier!
"I have a sister!"
Kawata Mie murmured to herself, her eyelashes fluttering, a hint of mist appearing.
Over the years, she had wondered if she had any family. But her adoptive father had told her that she was the only one left from her entire family. So, she envied those who had families.
Ye Cangtian asked curiously, "Haven't you ever thought about investigating your family, or your own background all these years?"
Kawata Mie calmed her emotions and replied, "I did think about it before. But my adoptive father said my parents encountered pirates when they went out to sea, and they were all killed by the pirates. My adoptive father saved me and killed those pirates."
"My adoptive father told me not to investigate my background, saying that people cannot live in past suffering!"
"Nonsense!"
Ye Cangtian sneered. Seeing Kawata Mie about to retort, he said sternly, "I can now confirm that your adoptive father is very likely the murderer of your parents!"
"Think carefully. Hasn't your adoptive father always kept you in the base, rarely letting you return to the family, and not allowing you to contact the outside world?"
"My adoptive father said that assassins need to lie in wait!"
Kawata Mie finished speaking and then quickly added, "He said that after I get my revenge this time, I will stay by his side when I return!"
Ye Cangtian smiled and shook his head, "Even if you get your revenge, you probably won't be able to return!"
He had already guessed the intentions of the Kawata family. Kawata Mie was just a pawn, and a pawn that could turn against them at any time.
Therefore, this trip to Huaxia was just her last burst of usefulness before her death!
Seeing her still unconvinced, he continued to ask, "Then let me ask you, did your adoptive father send any other assassins to Huaxia this time?"
Kawata Mie shook her head, "My strength in the Kawata family is second only to my adoptive father, so I am sufficient to come alone. My adoptive father did not arrange for other assassins!"
"Wrong! According to the information I have, besides you, the Kawata family sent several assassins!"
Ye Cangtian looked at her and sighed, "Their purpose should be to kill you when you are preparing to return!"
Kawata Mie trembled slightly and slowly shook her head.
She didn't believe it, didn't believe her adoptive father would do this! But in fact, she had a vague feeling of being watched for the past two days, only she was unwilling to admit it!
"Think about it carefully!"
Ye Cangtian lit a cigarette, exhaled a smoke ring, glanced at the absent-minded Kawata Mie, and then turned to leave the rooftop!
Given his usual character, he wouldn't normally meddle in such matters. But this girl was likely Gu Yue's lost sister, so he had to intervene.
...
In the office, Tang Xinwan saw Ye Cangtian push the door open and enter.
"How is it?"
"It's handled!"
Ye Cangtian flopped onto the sofa and let out a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, she won't pester me anymore."
Tang Xinwan was startled and quickly asked, "What did you do to her?"
Ye Cangtian gave a wry smile, "I didn't kill her! She's Gu Yue's lost sister. If Gu Yue found out, she'd probably chase me endlessly again!"
He recalled how Gu Yue had chased him all the way to Huaxia to kill him.
If not for many things happening later, and him saving her life, it would have been impossible for him and Gu Yue to become friends!
Ye Cangtian recounted what happened on the rooftop to Tang Xinwan.
The latter was stunned for a while before exclaiming in surprise, "So she really is Gu Yue's sister? No wonder I felt they looked so alike when I first saw her!"
"It's not just their appearance that's similar; even their destinies are alike!" Ye Cangtian also sighed.
Both sisters became assassins, and coincidentally, both had tried to kill him. This was too much!
However, even though Kawata Mie now knew she had a sister, this girl would likely still face trouble.
Oh well, might as well see it through.
Ye Cangtian thought for a moment and then called Zhang Liang, wondering if he had returned to Kyoto yet.
Upon inquiry, he learned that Zhang Liang had planned to return to Kyoto with his team, but the Dragon Group headquarters had given him new orders.
"So, your team is also going to the Saudi ruins?" Ye Cangtian was somewhat surprised.
"Yes, two teams will participate this time, led by Brother Ye. Besides me, there's Mu Chenglong and his team!" Zhang Liang replied.
"He's going too? That's interesting!"
Ye Cangtian immediately smiled. That guy had just suffered a loss at his hands, would he willingly take orders from him?
Zhang Liang understood his thoughts and explained, "Although he might not obey you, he definitely won't act against you behind your back. This person is quite arrogant, but he has organizational discipline!"
Moreover, Mu Chenglong had been stationed at the border for a long time. He and his team had lived with the local soldiers for a long time, and they possessed the spirit of soldiers in their bones.
Ye Cangtian was indifferent; he was not afraid of retaliation.
"By the way, Brother Zhang, I need your help with something! Tonight, I need you to accompany me to kill someone."
"Kill whom?" Zhang Liang's heart stirred.
"It might be a big fish!"
A slight smile played on Ye Cangtian's lips.
...
Night!
A park a kilometer away from Tang Xinwan's villa complex.
A figure, like a phantom, appeared, followed by another figure emerging from the darkness, kneeling on one knee and saying, "Lord Blood Shadow!"
"Hasn't that girl made a move yet?"
"Reporting, my lord, Kawata Mie had issued a challenge to the other party, but they did not accept it, so she did not make a move. For the past two days, she just stood outside the door."
"Truly useless!" Blood Shadow couldn't help but curse. "The base taught her so many assassination skills, yet she only knows how to challenge."
The assassin hesitated, "My lord, it seems that Huaxia has already noticed us."
Blood Shadow frowned slightly, then sighed, "We can't wait any longer. Since that girl isn't making a move, we'll do it ourselves!"
"Also, the family head said that after this matter is resolved, the girl will be permanently kept in Huaxia, so don't let her escape then!"
"Yes!"
Just then, another dark figure rushed over from a distance.
"Reporting, my lord, Kawata Mie is heading this way. She seems to have discovered us."
"Heh heh, perfect timing. We'll kill her first, then avenge the Young Master!" Blood Shadow smiled.
