The police found their ident.i.ties, but it showed that they were all orphans, so they were unable to contact their families.

The flight took three hours and ten minutes from the capital to City Yuan. Therefore, when they arrived at City Yuan, it was already 2:30 pm.
They walked out of the airport, then took a taxi to the city center. At this time, it was 3:30 pm.
They didn’t rush to take action. They first went to the Huangdeng Hotel and had a rest. After the rest, they would eat before going.
At 7 pm, they rented a car from the hotel, then set off.
The killer organization that Gao Yi and Qiao Ya had worked for wasn’t in an un.o.btrusive place; it was in a manor in a suburb.
On the surface, it was a manor, but it was actually the base of a killer organization.
Although killer organizations were a very secretive existence, they didn’t need to hide in very remote places, such as deep mountains and ancient forests. As long as they had a good cover, no one would know that the bas.e.m.e.nt of a manor turned into the base of a terrifying killer organization!
However, that was just the base, and not where their head lived.
The heads of killer organizations were always mysterious. Only a few henchmen could see the real face of their heads, because their heads usually had a mask on when they showed up.
In order to prevent subordinates from betraying them, the heads of killer organizations never let too many members know their real face.
As the heads of killer organizations, they were in a very dangerous position. They could be betrayed by their own subordinates, and could also be a.s.sa.s.sinated by their peers. They were in a much more dangerous situation than leaders of illegal gangs. Besides, the compet.i.tion among killer organizations was also fierce.
Although Gao Yi and Qiao Ya were familiar with the place, Gu Ning didn’t let them drive. She told them to sit in the back seats in case they were recognized. They only needed to guide Gu Ning to the right place, so Gu Ning would be the driver.
Because it was a manor in a suburb, there was nothing around. Therefore, Gu Ning could only stop the car nearby, then walked over.
She didn’t drive there because she was unwilling to drag the Huangdeng Hotel into trouble.
When they walked over, they didn’t bother to hide and directly swaggered forward.
It was a private manor, so outsiders weren’t allowed to come close. So once they reached the gate, they were stopped. However, the two people who guarded the gate were astonished to see Gao Yi and Qiao Ya.
They were key subordinates of the killer organization and were loyal to their head. They were familiar with every killer and only their own mates were allowed to enter this manor. If they couldn’t remember the faces of all the members, they couldn’t do their job well.
Killers in the organization, however, didn’t necessarily know each other.
Although it was a base, killers normally wouldn’t come back unless they were summoned. They could live outside. Usually, they were taking days off, carrying out tasks, or receiving training somewhere else. Therefore, killers didn’t meet often.
That was the reason why Gao Yi and Qiao Ya failed to recognize the three men who were sent to kill them.
Unfortunately, after Gao Yi’s and Qiao Ya’s names were put on the wanted list, the whole organization remembered their faces. If they met by chance one day, they would kill them. After all, only dead people couldn’t tell secrets. As long as they were still alive, it was possible that they would tell other people about the killer organization.
“How dare you come back?” asked the gatekeeper in surprise. He knew it wasn’t a kind visit.
“Why not?” Gao Yi said. With Gu Ning’s help, they dared to do anything. If Gu Ning didn’t help them, they indeed wouldn’t have dared to come back.
“Well, since you’re back, don’t ever think to leave again,” said the gatekeeper, getting ready to attack Gao Yi and Qiao Ya.
At this moment, Gu Ning opened her mouth. “Are you sure that you’re going to use violence? Do you think you two can defeat the five of us?”
Hearing that, the two men were shocked, because they could see that Gu Ning and the others were very strong.
Since they dared to come here, they couldn’t be weak. They had to be well-prepared. In that case, the two gatekeepers thought that they better stay calm and figure out their purpose first.
“Why did you come?” asked a gatekeeper.
“We met a few people yesterday. They said that your head wants to see me, so I’m here. If he really wants to see me, tell him to talk with me in person,” said Gu Ning.
The two gatekeepers frowned a little. They didn’t know that their head had sent out people to find this girl. Anyway, since she said that, they had to ask for their head’s opinions.
“What’s your name?” asked a gatekeeper. He had to know her name before he went to report it to their head.
“My name’s Gu Ning,” Gu Ning said.
“Wait for a while. I need to ask our head first,” said the gatekeeper. Then he called their head’s servant. Not many people had their head’s number, and they could only call their head’s servant if anything happened.
As soon as their head heard the news that Gao Yi and Qiao Ya came back with Gu Ning, he was very surprised. In that case, his people must have found them and might have been caught in trouble. Otherwise, his people would have called him.
The head realized that Gu Ning didn’t cooperate. It definitely couldn’t be a friendly visit!
Even though it was an unfriendly visit, he still decided to see her. Whether she agreed to work with him or not, he needed to talk with her first. Besides, if he didn’t go, she might cause damage to his base.
He would become a joke if other killer organizations heard about that.
If Gu Ning was willing to cooperate with him, he could let go of Gao Yi and Qiao Ya. However, if she wouldn’t, he would kill Gao Yi and Qiao Ya because they had betrayed their organization.
He wouldn’t let Gu Ning go either. She found out about his base so she would be a time bomb if he let her go.
The head told the gatekeeper to take Gu Ning and her people to have a seat in the living room, and that he would be there in half an hour.
He didn’t think Gu Ning and her people had any choice after they came into his manor.. She would either agree to work with him and leave, or be killed.
