Ye Cangtian had just gone downstairs when he received a call.
Seeing the garbled string of characters on the caller ID, he knew who it was.
"Boss, we just found something strange. Three days ago, a group of assassins infiltrated China. They belong to the Sky Net assassin organization, and there are quite a few of them!"
"Did your identity get exposed in China, Boss? But that doesn't seem right either. Although Sky Net and we have had some friction, they wouldn't come to China to assassinate you, right?" came the voice of Viper from the phone.
Ye Cangtian couldn't help but feel annoyed and admonished, "You're telling me news from three days ago now?"
Viper chuckled dryly, "Aren't you the one causing trouble with women everywhere, making me have to hide and run all over the place from that Saudi royal family recently..."
"Ahem!"
Ye Cangtian said sternly, "I'm giving you a chance to rephrase that!"
"..."
Viper chuckled, "Well, Boss, aren't you really going to marry that Saudi princess? The Saudi royal family, with inexhaustible wealth, and it's said that the King of Saudi Arabia's youngest son is incompetent, so perhaps the position of king could fall to you in the future!"
Ye Cangtian's forehead was covered in black lines, and he couldn't help but say coldly, "Are you itching for a beating, kid?"
Viper immediately dropped his playful tone and began to speak seriously, "Ah, let's get down to business. Those Sky Net assassins, I checked, there are more than twenty of them, but there are four guys you need to pay attention to."
"Li Xiaoyang, codenamed Flying Dagger! He primarily specializes in hidden weapons and is of Chinese descent."
"Saeki Ryo, codenamed - Enchanting Empress!"
"Wait! Is this person male or female?" Ye Cangtian interrupted, his expression somewhat strange.
Viper laughed heartily, "Male! This guy is not simple, he is extremely skilled at disguise, especially disguising himself as a charming and enchanting woman, specifically to seduce men. It's disgusting!"
"You know him so well, have you tried him?" Ye Cangtian raised an eyebrow.
"How could I? The description says so. Anyway, this person's greatest advantage is disguise, whether it's a man, a woman, old, or young, he might even be able to disguise himself as someone close to you." Su Dan Novel Network
After explaining, Viper continued, "There are two more, one is called Sniper Storm, and the other is called Meng Po, who specializes in poison."
"These four people are all quasi-S-class assassins of Sky Net! Boss, are they really coming for you? Does Sky Net dare to provoke you? Do you need us brothers to blow up their base?"
"Just be quiet, all of you! It's not really related to me! Notify me if there's any other information, I'm hanging up!" Ye Cangtian said and hung up the phone directly.
As he walked on the road outside the residential complex, he couldn't help but ponder.
The four quasi-S-class assassins, in terms of strength, were not particularly strong, but in terms of assassination skills, they still had to be guarded against.
Of course, Ye Cangtian didn't fear these guys too much. Even quasi-S-class assassins would find it very difficult to assassinate him, but he just didn't want to mess with these troublesome fellows.
"That girl Gu sure knows how to cause trouble!"
With a sigh, Ye Cangtian stood by the roadside and lit a cigarette. Just as he exhaled a smoke ring, a voice came from beside him, "Brother, can I borrow a light?"
Ye Cangtian took out his lighter and handed it to the man, but his pupils slightly contracted.
The person who asked to borrow a light was a handsome man in a suit, looking like a dashing young gentleman, but with a cigarette hanging from his lips, making him look like a ruffian dressed up.
Of course, that wasn't the point!
The point was that the man exuded a bloody aura, a killing intent! Although it was well hidden by him, Ye Cangtian's sharp senses had detected it.
What's more, the handsome man was juggling a small, exquisite fruit knife in his other hand, flipping it between his fingers.
"Thanks!" The handsome man lit his cigarette and returned the lighter to Ye Cangtian. Seeing that the latter was staring at his left hand, he smiled and explained, "Purely a hobby!"
Ye Cangtian nodded faintly. Glancing at the man's retreating back, he was inwardly certain of his identity.
One of the four quasi-S-class assassins, Flying Dagger - Li Xiaoyang!
He hadn't expected to encounter one of them so soon. It seemed these guys were nearby, and Gu Yue in his apartment wouldn't be able to hide for much longer.
"This is really troublesome!" Ye Cangtian sighed.
If he didn't get involved, Gu Yue would be in danger sooner or later. If she died in his house, wouldn't that be too inappropriate?
But getting involved was also troublesome. If it were just one quasi-S-class assassin, he could have easily killed them. But with four quasi-S-class assassins here, this matter was even a bit tricky for him.
After all, these assassins were hidden in the shadows, and even trying to capture them all at once wouldn't work.
...
By evening, Gu Yue's injuries had recovered significantly. She could now get out of bed and walk.
Of course, in her current condition, she couldn't engage in any strenuous activity.
She got up and ate some porridge. Before she could tidy up, she heard a knock on the door.
Gu Yue didn't want to open the door, but she heard the knocking continue, and a scolding voice from outside, "Ye Cangtian, I know you're home! Open the door quickly!"
She went to the door and looked through the peephole, only to find it was the female police officer next door. After a moment's hesitation, she opened the door.
As soon as she opened the door, Xu Weiwei, who had intended to scold him fiercely, was stunned.
"You..."
"Who are you looking for?" Gu Yue asked.
Xu Weiwei was momentarily stunned. She hadn't expected a young woman to open the door, and moreover, she looked very beautiful.
She felt speechless, wondering if that scoundrel had moved out and this was a new tenant?
However, at first glance, the clothes the beautiful woman was wearing looked so familiar, weren't they the clothes that scoundrel usually wore?
Xu Weiwei's mind was in a mess, and she couldn't help but ask, "Where is Ye Cangtian? What are you to him...?"
That damned guy, keeping a woman in his house! Could this woman be a prostitute that scoundrel called over?
"Ye Cangtian isn't here. I'm his friend. Is there something you need him for?"
"No, nothing!"
Xu Weiwei was momentarily at a loss for words, even feeling inexplicably angry in her heart. She turned and went back to her own apartment.
She directly took out her phone and called that scoundrel.
As soon as the call was connected, Xu Weiwei immediately questioned him, "Ye Cangtian, what's going on with that woman in your house? You've been caught red-handed this time, let's see how you explain yourself now!"
"Ahem, woman? You mean her? Her name is Gu Yue, she's my friend. She doesn't have a place to stay these days, so she's temporarily staying at my place!"
"Friend? You think I'd believe that?" Xu Weiwei said with a cold laugh.
"This friend of mine was abandoned by her boyfriend, she just had an abortion, so she has no money and nowhere to live. It's quite pitiful! Also, there's something I need Officer Xu's help with, she..."
Listening to Ye Cangtian's explanation on the phone, Xu Weiwei was stunned, her expression turning somewhat strange and sympathetic.
"Are you telling the truth? You're not lying to me?" Xu Weiwei hesitated for a moment, actually starting to believe him.
Because she had also observed the woman just now. Her face was a bit pale, and her body seemed very weak.
How pitiful, to be abandoned by her boyfriend after getting pregnant, with nowhere to live.
