The new assassination order has just been issued, and those professional assassins haven't received the news so quickly. Even if they did, they wouldn't imdiately take on the task. They would observe slowly and decide only after careful consideration.
As long as you are a mber of the World Assassin Guild, regardless of your assassin level, you can apply to accept the task.
The ones who just attempted to assassinate Li San are those who thought they had successfully completed a few tasks and didn't regard Li San highly, imdiately taking on a task that promised the greatest profit.
And today's sniping directly served as a wake-up call for Li San and all the others.
"Then, the first thing is how to protect the family mbers around us. On my side, my mother, Ling Xue, and the child must be sent to a safe place. Li San, Ruyu, and those two little ones..."
"No, I'm also an assassin. I don't need protection." Ruyu imdiately rejected Li Kuo's judgnt of herself.
"This isn't about being impulsive, Li San..." Li Kuo glanced at Li San, implying that Li San should manage his woman.
"Ruyu, listen to Li Kuo."
"But..."
"Don't worry, these third-rate assassins can't do anything to . But if there's a mistake on your part, if they use you to threaten , even a three-year-old child would leave defenseless. Do you understand?"
"Hmm..." Helplessly nodded, Ruyu couldn't defy Li San's will.
"Xiaolei, Han, Ren Ying, you... all have girlfriends, right?" Ruyu's part handled, it was up to the other three guys.
"I don't have one yet." Xiaolei replied rather directly.
"I... have known soone for a month. Breaking up, it's not, not a problem." Ren Ying spoke hesitantly, seemingly reluctant. But faced with the assassination order, letting go showed he cared for her.
And finally, it was Han Shengjun...
Everyone knew he and Xiaofan's sister, Ye Weiwei, were already on the brink of discussing marriage. At this point, if they break up, then...
So things can't be explained clearly, like when Xiaofan concealed Liu Siyan's intrusion into Red Butterfly with similar feelings.
At this mont, Han Shengjun might be the one who understands best.
"Han, whether to break up or not, handle it yourself. Ye Weiwei isn't exactly an outsider, or perhaps you can wait until things settle down before explaining it to her. Anyway, regardless of how you deal with it, you must act swiftly and decisively. Estimated, in a few days, there will be assassins accepting the assassination order to kill us. If at that ti those close to us are implicated, then it's truly regrettable."
"Hmm, I know what to do." Han Shengjun clenched his fist, seemingly making a very important decision.
Ruyu knew the situation, so Li San couldn't hide it from him, and it was impossible for those two kids to be left unattended. Regarding Li Kuo, and Han Lingxue from love to family bond, plus she was also Han's younger sister, with an incredibly weak mother and a child under two years old in tow. Thus, Li Kuo could only choose to send them to a safe place for protection.
"Well, the outco of handling the first matter is settled that way, there shouldn't be any questions. Now, the second issue..."
"Wait, Kuo, didn't you say earlier that you found news about Xiaofan?" Li San urgently asked.
"What? Xiaofan?"
"Really?"
"What happened? Did Xiaofan call you?"
The other three also asked inquisitively.
"This is what I need to discuss with you as the second matter. As you see, this new assassination order page just got created not long ago. No matter how much I keep watching Japan's movents daily, it's impossible to find the new page of the assassination order so quickly."
"Is this related to Xiaofan?" Li San asked calmly.
"Not sure. This morning, I received an email, where the transmission thod was the initial code setup of a migratory bird locator. The email had no signature, no ending, and even no unnecessary chatter, just an IP address. Tracing the IP address led to find a heap of data from M Country's mutant research, and by this mutant research center's main control computer link, I found this new assassination order domain. Just now, I saw an assassin had already accepted the task to kill Li San. Unexpectedly, I hadn't had ti to inform him, he already arrived."
"So, this email might have been sent by Xiaofan?" Li San continued to ask.
"Apart from this answer, I can't think of another. Actually, this is a shared mailbox for all of us, besides us few, only Shen Zuimo knows about it, not even Shen Junjie is aware. If it isn't us few, then besides him, I can't find a second explanation." Li Kuo spoke slowly.
"Then the question now is if Xiaofan is still alive, why he hasn't imdiately reached out to us? Is it that he's inconvenient now or sothing beyond his control? Earlier you ntioned the sender's location is M Country's mutant research center; how did he end up in M Country? It's unbelievable, right?" Xiaolei also voiced his doubt.
"No matter what? If he is still alive, he will surely find an opportunity to contact us. Our random guesses now are useless. Our imdiate priority is self-protection. Faced with assassins, we can fight them anyti, but we cannot let our loved ones be in danger. First, let's send them to safety." Li San spoke quietly.
"Okay, then Xiaolei, you contact Elder Fan, Ren Ying, accompany Li San and Ruyu to pick up those two kids, to say the safest place is just Yanhuang Soul."
No choice, for the family's safety, Li Kuo could only choose Yanhuang Soul again. However, Elder Fan's power had already diminished now. Whether entry is possible is another matter.
"Rember, whether Xiaofan is alive is still a question mark. The assassination order doesn't have Xiaofan's na, so, apart from Elder Fan, none of us should tell anyone else about this, anyone. Han, Han..." Li Kuo suddenly noticed Han Shengjun standing sowhat dazedly to the side, strange to inquire.
"Hmm? Ah? What's wrong?" Han Shengjun snapped out of it, not very naturally.
It wasn't due to the fear of the assassination order, but rather... how to explain things to Ye Weiwei?
Imagine that when two deeply loving individuals are just about to marry, having to separate at such a crucial mont with so aningless excuse. How difficult is that.
"Han, why don't you just be straightforward." Li San spoke softly.
"I understand Weiwei's personality, straight talk won't work, damn, I truly understand the internal pain Xiaofan endured when acting in front of Liu Siyan back then. This **** assassination order..."
