However, Qin Fang soon realized he had thought too simplistically again; this beautiful assassin nad Xiao Xiao was truly an unorthodox, atypical assassin, drastically different from the usual.
"Xiao Xiao, since you're back, shouldn't you visit ho? Your mom misses you a lot..."
Sun Shu sat down, not in a hurry to order food, but queried in a quite amiable and sincere manner, and even his words carried a hint of pleading.
Indeed, once he said this, Qin Fang was imdiately rendered speechless... he even faintly felt that he might have targeted the wrong person.
The profession of this beauty was indeed that of an assassin, but it seed she had just co ho to visit family, not specifically for a mission.
Although the Assassin's Alliance assigned cleaning missions based on the operating regions of the assassins, generally assassins wouldn't take on missions in their hotowns—it was too risky as enemies could easily target them, and one misstep could endanger their entire family...
Of course, most assassins are lone individuals with no family attachnts; those who had families were mostly retired or semi-retired and generally would not take on missions anymore.
Yet, this girl was an exception; it seed her family was still around, which made it even more unlikely that she had co specifically for this mission. Even to avoid suspicion, a typical assassin might forgo such a high-point cleaning mission.
Points and money are important, but when compared to one's life and family safety, they are inconsequential.
"Please don't associate her with , she isn't my mom..."
As Qin Fang struggled with the food on his plate, planning to finish quickly and bolt back to the hotel to wait for other peers, Xiao Xiao's tone turned sharp, almost to the point of anger.
"Alas..."
Hearing this, Sun Shu's face darkened slightly, and he could only sigh helplessly, clearly indicating there was so complicated story involved.
Even as an outsider, Qin Fang could sense this, and he also faintly felt Xiao Xiao's mood becoming restless...
Such a discovery imdiately piqued Qin Fang's interest, and he seized the opportunity to employ the Mind Reading Technique on Xiao Xiao.
Even though it was highly unethical to pry into a stranger's privacy, to clarify whether this beautiful assassin was here for the cleaning mission, he had to do so.
If she was here for that, Qin Fang would continue to watch her.
But if not, Qin Fang would naturally finish his al and leave to continue searching for clues... He had already wasted much of the morning and was a step behind; any more delay, and he would truly miss the chance and have to pass this high-reward mission to soone else.
No sooner had Qin Fang deployed the Mind Reading Technique than he sensed the innermost thoughts of the beautiful assassin, but he imdiately beca alert and lowered his head to casually deal with the food on his plate.
An assassin's perception is extrely sharp, even such minute changes in ntal state can make them highly sensitive. Thus, the mont Qin Fang used the Mind Reading Technique, the slightly agitated Xiao Xiao beca wary, her mind tensed, and her eyes quickly scanned the surroundings.
But the result was obviously disappointing for her; everything around was calm. There were not many custors in the Western restaurant, everyone was naturally dining or talking, nothing unusual or anyone suspicious appeared...
In the end, she could only return her sowhat doubtful gaze to normal, but her vigilance remained high, and Qin Fang could not use the Mind Reading Technique on her a second ti.
The Mind Reading Technique is an instant skill, aning it can only detect the target's current thoughts... To fully understand all about a target would require a longer period of probing.
But human mory is a fascinating thing; it may last only a brief second, yet the amount of information it contains can be vast, so vast that not even a supercomputer might manage to process it...
Usually, thoughts are rather straightforward, and with the fleeting ti, only minimal information can be detected.
This was the case for Qin Fang; he had barely touched on the assassin's slight thought when she noticed him.
A killer's willpower is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and unless they relax their minds themselves, it is difficult for others to force them to—even under torture, they maintain their will unbowed.
The girl was alert, and Qin Fang lost his chance to probe again, but he wasn't at all disappointed, in fact, there was a slight sense of relief.
It might have been only a brief few milliseconds of probing, having gleaned rely a fragnt of information, yet Qin Fang was quite pleased, as he coincidentally found out that this beautiful assassin was also one of the killers assigned to clean Sinan.
Qin Fang had this judgnt because while the girl seed to resent her mother verbally, her thoughts were about not wanting to endanger her family... because soone was extrely dangerous!
