Chapter 1219: Cancel the Mission
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“You… are you the Miss?”
w.a.n.g Kejin had naturally heard of w.a.n.g Xiaoyan’s nickname in the b.u.t.terfly Family, the Miss. However, w.a.n.g Xiaoyan left the family to live an independent life very early. w.a.n.g Kejin did not really see w.a.n.g Xiaoyan before, and w.a.n.g Xiaoyan was just mentioned when he was chatting with other a.s.sa.s.sins. He roughly knew the age of w.a.n.g Xiaoyan and the fact that she went to China.
He could only know about this. However, when w.a.n.g Xiaoyan used the b.u.t.terfly Family’s secret b.u.t.terfly Dance Microstep, w.a.n.g Kejin only thought that the person in front of him was probably the Miss w.a.n.g of the b.u.t.terfly Family!
The b.u.t.terfly Dance Microstep was a superior and very secretive Kung Fu. Even the a.s.sa.s.sins in the b.u.t.terfly Family couldn’t practice it at will, let alone outsiders who had no relations.h.i.+p! The fact that w.a.n.g Xiaoyan could use the b.u.t.terfly Dance Microstep already explained the problem itself!
w.a.n.g Kejin didn’t think that w.a.n.g Xiaoyan stole and learned it. How could this Kung Fu be stolen to learn? If so, then the Kung Fu of the b.u.t.terfly Family would all be revealed, and the b.u.t.terfly Family would not be the largest a.s.sa.s.sin group in the world.
So, in summary, there was only one possibility! That was why w.a.n.g Kejin was so panicked! He went on an a.s.sa.s.sination, and his target was actually the Miss, w.a.n.g Xiaoyan.
How could he not be astonished? a.s.sa.s.sinating the Miss was simply betraying the family! As he thought of this, w.a.n.g Kejin’s body trembled…
“Who are you?” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan was very sensitive to this t.i.tle, “the Miss” because, in the family, she was known as the Miss. “Do you know the b.u.t.terfly Dance Microstep?”
“You really are the Miss, w.a.n.g Xiaoyan?” When w.a.n.g Kejin heard w.a.n.g Xiaoyan say the name of b.u.t.terfly Dance Microstep, he was more convinced that the person in front of him was w.a.n.g Xiaoyan.
“You are in the family?” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan did not say out the name of b.u.t.terfly Family because she did not want Yang Ming to know about her background, lest Yang Ming would be discouraged that the b.u.t.terfly Family was too difficult to surpa.s.s.
w.a.n.g Kejin nodded.
“What’s your name?” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan continued.
“w.a.n.g Kejin, I’m a third-generation disciple.” w.a.n.g Kejin replied truthfully. Now that w.a.n.g Xiaoyan’s ident.i.ty had been confirmed, then w.a.n.g Xiaoyan’s question was equal to a question from the master of the family. w.a.n.g Kejin naturally did not conceal his answer. “In my pocket, there is a family token.”
Because w.a.n.g Kejin was still threatened by w.a.n.g Xiaoyan with a dagger, he did not dare to act rashly. So, he only said that he had a token in his pocket, but did not take it out.
w.a.n.g Xiaoyan touched w.a.n.g Kejin’s jacket pocket and found a small b.u.t.terfly-like token in his pocket. w.a.n.g Xiaoyan nodded. She finally completely believed w.a.n.g Kejin’s words and removed the dagger away from his neck.
“Don’t reveal the secrets of the family; come in and talk to me.” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan whispered to w.a.n.g Kejin.
Yang Ming was not far away, but w.a.n.g Xiaoyan’s voice was very soft, so Yang Ming did not hear it. It was true that Yang Ming had a special telescopic ability, and he could read lips, but he did not need to do that to w.a.n.g Xiaoyan. Therefore, he didn’t hear w.a.n.g Xiaoyan’s last sentence clearly.
“Yang Ming, this person is an a.s.sa.s.sin sent from my family.” After w.a.n.g Xiaoyan finished talking with w.a.n.g Kejin, she turned to Yang Ming and explained.
Just from the conversation between w.a.n.g Kejin and w.a.n.g Xiaoyan, Yang Ming had already guessed something. At this moment, listening to w.a.n.g Xiaoyan, he nodded and made a gesture. “Let’s go in and talk!”
Yang Ming got in the car and waved at w.a.n.g Xiaoyan and w.a.n.g Kejin. When w.a.n.g Kejin saw w.a.n.g Xiaoyan nod, he sat in the back seat of the BMW.
The car drove into the underground parking lot of w.a.n.g Xiaoyan’s villa. Once the car was parked, Yang Ming, w.a.n.g Xiaoyan, and w.a.n.g Kejin got off the car. At the moment, w.a.n.g Kejin didn’t have his previous murderous intent, but he followed respectfully behind Yang Ming and w.a.n.g Xiaoyan.
However, Yang Ming did not put down his vigilance just because w.a.n.g Kejin and w.a.n.g Xiaoyan were acquainted. Who knew if this was a trick? So Yang Ming always paid attention to w.a.n.g Kejin’s movements.
It was not until they entered the villa, and w.a.n.g Xiaoyan let w.a.n.g Kejin sit across the sofa that Yang Ming finally put down his vigilance a little, but he did not completely put down his guard toward w.a.n.g Kejin.
“Wrap up your hand first.” Yang Ming glanced at w.a.n.g Kejin’s right hand and said, “Yanyan, go upstairs to the bedroom and bring my medicine box down.”
Since he was a member of w.a.n.g Xiaoyan’s family, Yang Ming naturally treated him differently. He intended to use some of Fang Tian’s secret healing elixirs. These were all made by Fang Tian according to the ancient Chinese medicinal recipes; the price was very costly.
w.a.n.g Xiaoyan was also planning to find the medicine box and gauze for w.a.n.g Kejin, but after listening to Yang Ming’s words, she immediately understood that Yang Ming wanted to give w.a.n.g Kejin some better medicine. So, she glanced at Yang Ming gratefully and then walked upstairs.
In any case, w.a.n.g Kejin was a member of her family and, therefore, was also her underling. Yang Ming cared about w.a.n.g Kejin because of w.a.n.g Xiaoyan’s face, so w.a.n.g Xiaoyan was very grateful to Yang Ming.
“Thank you!” w.a.n.g Kejin naturally understood that Yang Ming asked w.a.n.g Xiaoyan to take his medicine box because the medicine in the medicine box was better, and he wouldn’t simply use it.
Yang Ming waved his hand, looked at w.a.n.g Kejin, and said faintly, “Was your mission to kill me, or w.a.n.g Xiaoyan?”
“It’s… you.” w.a.n.g Kejin hesitated and did not conceal. Now, it seemed that Yang Ming and w.a.n.g Xiaoyan had a very close relations.h.i.+p. Since Yang Ming asked w.a.n.g Xiaoyan to go to the bedroom to take the medicine box, it proved that they lived together. That was to say, Yang Ming was w.a.n.g Xiaoyan’s boyfriend. Therefore, w.a.n.g Kejin did not hide the truth from Yang Ming’s questions. “However, the employer asked me to kill your girlfriend too… Of course, I didn’t know that your girlfriend is the Miss before this… Because what is written on the mission detail is to have me kill you and your girlfriend.”
As for w.a.n.g Xiaoyan being a Miss of a big family, w.a.n.g Kejin did not hide it. Their conversation was also heard by Yang Ming. Apparently, w.a.n.g Xiaoyan did not intend to conceal this. w.a.n.g Xiaoyan’s last words to w.a.n.g Kejin may be to hide the specific details of the b.u.t.terfly Family and the name of the family. So, w.a.n.g Kejin did not mention these.
Yang Ming nodded. It seemed that w.a.n.g Kejin was really here to a.s.sa.s.sinate without knowing anything. He only knew at the last minute that the target of the a.s.sa.s.sination was their Miss.
However, Yang Ming wondered who wanted to kill him and his girlfriend? Who had this hatred with him?
“Who is the employer?” asked Yang Ming.
“It’s unclear. The task was posted on the platform… We don’t know who the employer is.” w.a.n.g Kejin shook his head.
Yang Ming naturally knew about the procedure of posting missions on the a.s.sa.s.sin’s platform. Many missions were released anonymously, so Yang Ming did not doubt w.a.n.g Kejin.
w.a.n.g Xiaoyan brought the medicine box and handed it to w.a.n.g Kejin. w.a.n.g Kejin didn’t need help from anyone. He opened the medicine box, applied the medicine, and then wrapped the gauze with one hand.
This was the most basic skill of an a.s.sa.s.sin. An a.s.sa.s.sin needed to be able to bandage himself after an injury, because, in many cases, the mission was performed by one person alone. There was no other person beside him, so it was necessary to bandage himself after the injury.
After w.a.n.g Kejin properly bandaged it, w.a.n.g Xiaoyan spoke up, “Who sent you?”
“It was my instructor,” w.a.n.g Kejin said truthfully. “This was a mission received from the a.s.sa.s.sin platform. They wanted the organization to a.s.sa.s.sinate Yang Ming and his girlfriend. The information only contained Yang Ming’s information, but there is no information about his girlfriend. So, I didn’t know before that his girlfriend is you, Miss.”
“So, this is the case.” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan nodded after listening. Fortunately you took action when you met Yang Ming and me. If you took action when Yang Ming is with other women, then you will die directly. You will never have the chance to see me again. “Who is the employer?”
“The missions on the a.s.sa.s.sin platform are all released anonymously…” w.a.n.g Kejin smiled bitterly. “The organization will not ask this kind of thing either.”
“Okay, I got it. Cancel this mission and go back. Try to investigate the ident.i.ty of the employer… Forget it. I will talk directly to my father.” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan said with a wave of her hand.
“Miss… I have another mission. I am afraid I can’t go back immediately.” w.a.n.g Kejin didn’t need to hide anything from w.a.n.g Xiaoyan, so naturally, he told w.a.n.g Xiaoyan that he still had a mission to do.
“There is another mission? What mission?” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan asked casually.
“It is a mission to a.s.sa.s.sinate Song Jiang’s underworld boss,” w.a.n.g Kejin replied.
“The underworld boss?” Yang Ming was subconsciously surprised in his heart, and then quickly asked, “Who is the target of the a.s.sa.s.sination?”
“This…” w.a.n.g Kejin was hesitant. a.s.sa.s.sinations needed to be kept secret; they could not be said casually.
“If he is asking you, just say it. Why are you so hesitant?” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan glared and yelled impatiently at w.a.n.g Kejin.
“Yes, Miss.” w.a.n.g Kejin said quickly. Although Yang Ming’s ident.i.ty seemed to be the Miss’ boyfriend, whether this ident.i.ty was recognized by the family was unknown. So, w.a.n.g Kejin still had reservations about Yang Ming.
The a.s.sa.s.sins in the family were quite clear about w.a.n.g Xiaoyan’s matters. w.a.n.g Xiaoyan’s fiancé should be the apprentice of the King of a.s.sa.s.sins, and w.a.n.g Xiaoyan left the family because she wanted to escape this marriage.
However, although w.a.n.g Xiaoyan had escaped, it was still unknown whether she could resist the fate of the family. Therefore, w.a.n.g Kejin had reservations about Yang Ming. Now, since w.a.n.g Xiaoyan had spoken, then w.a.n.g Kejin could no longer hide it!
The Miss’ words represented the second-highest power of the family, so w.a.n.g Kejin replied truthfully, “It is Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan; it’s said that they are the underworld bosses of this city.”
“What?!” Yang Ming previously heard w.a.n.g Kejin said that he had to a.s.sa.s.sinate an underworld boss, so Yang Ming had already guessed something faintly. At this moment, when he heard that w.a.n.g Kejin said that it was actually Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan, he immediately exclaimed, “You want to a.s.sa.s.sinate Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan?”
w.a.n.g Kejin was so puzzled by Yang Ming’s response, but he nodded and said, “Yes.”
“This mission is also canceled.” Yang Ming waved his hand. “You can go back.”
” Ah ?” w.a.n.g Kejin was a little dumbfounded. Yang Ming’s words were like orders. However, w.a.n.g Kejin frowned in his heart. You are just the Miss’ boyfriend. What power do you have to order me? Even the Miss can’t just cancel the mission casually, right? The previous mission involved the Miss, so it had to be canceled, but now this mission’s targets are only outsiders. How can I simply cancel it? Once it’s canceled, how can I go back and report?
“Cancel? This is impossible!” w.a.n.g Kejin said subconsciously.
“He asked you to cancel, then you just cancel it. Why is it impossible?” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan knew Hou Zhenhan and Bao Sanli. She met Hou Zhenhan and Bao Sanli when the Black Widow a.s.sa.s.sin Group merged with Li Qiang and the others into the Black b.u.t.terfly a.s.sa.s.sin Group. She also knew that these two people were working for Yang Ming. So at this moment, w.a.n.g Xiaoyan naturally stood on Yang Ming’s side.
“Miss…” w.a.n.g Kejin had some helplessness with w.a.n.g Xiaoyan’s words. “Miss, the previous mission involved you, so I have to cancel it. I can still go back and report it, but… if this mission is canceled, I can’t explain the reason… the master will not agree either!”
“Really? Then you have to go through me first.” Yang Ming’s eyes were cold as he spoke to w.a.n.g Kejin.
w.a.n.g Kejin didn’t know how well Yang Ming’s skills were. Before, he only fought against w.a.n.g Xiaoyan, and Yang Ming didn’t take action. However, it seemed that Yang Ming should know Kung Fu. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have a medicine box or the like.
“Miss, don’t make it difficult for me…” w.a.n.g Kejin was really overwhelmed facing Yang Ming’s threat. Fighting with Yang Ming obviously meant that he did not give face to w.a.n.g Xiaoyan, but… If he didn’t fight, Yang Ming would stop him from completing the mission…
” Shua –” A flying needle penetrated w.a.n.g Kejin’s right ear and directly opened a hole in his right ear.
” Ah !” w.a.n.g Kejin was shocked. Although he was just talking to w.a.n.g Xiaoyan, so he was a bit distracted, he didn’t even see how Yang Ming made the move!
If this flying needle pierced another position on w.a.n.g Kejin, then he would probably already be dead at this moment.
“Don’t do something that is beyond your strength.” Yang Ming said faintly, “You are a person in Yanyan’s family, so I am so polite to you. Otherwise, do you think you can stand here?”
w.a.n.g Kejin’s cold sweat came out. He did not doubt the authenticity of Yang Ming’s words. He did not expect Yang Ming to use a concealed weapon, and it was such a small concealed weapon.
For some top a.s.sa.s.sins, a concealed weapon was not unfamiliar to them, but most concealed weapons used mechanical means to succeed in shooting the target, just like a pistol. This kind of concealed weapon, which was purely hand-powered, is less common in today’s society.
Firstly, because throwing a concealed weapon demanded a lot of strength in the hand, it required rigorous training to make it possible. This was not the hardest thing. Many a.s.sa.s.sins were people who could suffer hards.h.i.+ps.
But the second point was that not everyone could do it. That was the aiming of the throw! Perhaps, many a.s.sa.s.sins were sharpshooters, but if they didn’t rely on modern equipment, how could they guarantee their accuracy?
So in this way, many a.s.sa.s.sins would not spend a lot of effort to practice the throwing of a concealed weapon. In contrast, the use of firearms was more convenient. The problem could be solved with one shot. Why use a concealed weapon?
However, in many cases, in some public places, using a gun was not a good idea. If you could use the concealed weapon quietly to finish the target, it was a hundred times better than using a gun.
Yang Ming could simply throw out the flying needle in the blink of an eye. This seemingly simple technique was the level that many a.s.sa.s.sins couldn’t reach in a lifetime, especially with flying needles!
It could still be possible if the object were a dagger or stone, but the flying needle was so small and light. It was very difficult to throw it.
After Yang Ming showed this skill, w.a.n.g Kejin already knew that his mission was absolutely tricky to complete. Even if he waited for Yang Ming to be off guard, pretended to leave Song Jiang, and then turned back to a.s.sa.s.sinate the targets, then even if it succeeded, Yang Ming would definitely know that this was w.a.n.g Kejin’s work!
With w.a.n.g Xiaoyan in the middle, w.a.n.g Kejin could not hope to stay in the b.u.t.terfly Family anymore! So at the moment, w.a.n.g Kejin had a dilemma.
“Let’s do it this way. I will tell my father about this matter. Your plan will be suspended for these two days. After I get my father’s opinion, I will contact you again!” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan also knew about w.a.n.g Kejin’s dilemma as an a.s.sa.s.sin of the b.u.t.terfly Family. If he gave up the mission and went back directly, he would also be severely punished by the family. However, if there was a cause, and it was approved by the master, then there would be no problem.
“Thank you, Miss. This is the best!” When w.a.n.g Kejin saw w.a.n.g Xiaoyan mention a compromise, he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. However, the most important issue was still not resolved.
From the words of w.a.n.g Xiaoyan, w.a.n.g Kejin had already understood that the result of the matter was likely to be canceling the mission and letting him go back directly. But in this way, both these two missions were not completed, then would he still have the opportunity to be the apprentice of Master Tombstone?
However, the current situation did not allow him to make any reb.u.t.tal. He could only obey it.
“Okay, leave your contact information. I will keep in touch with you at any time.” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan didn’t want to delay time with w.a.n.g Kejin’s affairs. Today was the last night together with Yang Ming. She was unsure when she would next meet Yang Ming, so w.a.n.g Xiaoyan especially cherished it.
“Okay, my satellite phone number is…” w.a.n.g Kejin said his satellite phone number, and then got up and said goodbye to w.a.n.g Xiaoyan and Yang Ming.
w.a.n.g Kejin was a little frustrated as he left w.a.n.g Xiaoyan’s villa. He originally came to Song Jiang with enthusiasm. He wanted to complete these two missions perfectly, but he didn’t think that he could not finish even one of them. Was this fate? It seemed that he had no chance to be Master Tombstone’s apprentice.
” Pa .” A hand was silently placed on the shoulder of w.a.n.g Kejin. w.a.n.g Kejin was suddenly shocked, and he was scared until his hair stood up! How come so many strange things happened today?
“Who is it?” w.a.n.g Kejin exclaimed subconsciously!
