Chapter 650: Chapter 650: Assassin’s End (10 more chapters)
“Little Ying, are you… how are you holding up?”
Dao Sha coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood and turned his head to look at the female assassin in the passenger seat, asking gently.
“My chest hurts… really bad, it feels… like I can barely breathe!”
Jian Sha opened her eyes, a pained expression on her face, and spoke weakly.
“It looks like this ti, we… we can’t escape our fate!”
Dao Sha gave a bitter smile, a desolate expression appearing on his face.
Having hunted for so long, we are finally being hunted, always taking others’ lives, and now it’s our turn to fall into soone else’s hands!
“If we’re going to die… then let’s die! In our line of work, having lived this long is already more than enough.”
Jian Sha’s face was emotionless, appearing calm, but deep inside, there was still a hint of sadness.
From the mont they entered the assassin’s life, they had prepared for this outco, but now that the mont had co, there was still reluctance.
Who, alive, would wish for death?
“Little Ying, will you be scared after we go down?” Dao Sha asked.
“Scared? Maybe! In this world, who isn’t afraid of death? It’s just that we face it with more courage than others!”
Jian Sha sighed softly, her gaze fixed on Dao Sha, her eyes showing deep affection: “Besides, with you by my side, Dao, what is there to be afraid of?”
“Cough cough…”
Dao Sha coughed violently twice, his face turning even paler.
He struggled to lift a hand, trembling as he reached out for Jian Sha’s cheek, gently caressing her face, and smiled, “Little Ying, do you know what my biggest regret in life is?”
“What is it?”
Jian Sha, startled, thought for a mont before asking, “Is it… not having your own children?”
“No! My biggest regret is not getting a marriage certificate with you.”
Dao Sha gazed at her tenderly, smiling faintly.
Upon hearing this, Jian Sha’s delicate body shuddered.
She turned her head away: “That thing… it’s just a piece of paper, I don’t care!”
Dao Sha smiled and said, “Little Ying, you can’t fool ! I know you care, it’s just a pity… I was planning to get it after finishing this job, to surprise you. But now it seems… I’ll never be able to.”
“If there’s a… next life, we’ll be husband and wife again! Then, I’ll definitely make it up to you…”
“Good! You better keep your word; I’ll be waiting for you in the next life… Don’t forget your promise!”
Jian Sha’s eyes were soft and tender, her face resolute as she spoke.
“Hehe…”
Dao Sha chuckled, clasping her hand tightly, and pulled out a black and white screen phone from his clothing, which had only one number stored in it, which he redialed.
The call connected, and Dao Sha, using all his remaining strength, said weakly:
“Second Master, we’ve failed the mission! You should just give it up, don’t send anyone else…”
Before he could finish, his suppressed injuries erupted again, his chest feeling as if it was being torn apart, covering his mouth and coughing violently.
His face was filled with pain, blood streaming out profusely, as if it cost nothing, even staining the dashboard red.
This bout was much more severe than before, his coughing more violent, impossible to stop!
After coughing up several mouthfuls of blood, his face turned a deathly pale, and his vitality rapidly drained away, eventually like a candle running out of wax, completely spent.
Snap!
The phone fell to the ground, its faint light illuminating his face as he helplessly drooped down, completely losing consciousness!
“Dao Sha! Dao Sha…”
Jian Sha called out anxiously, throwing herself onto him.
Summoning the last of her strength, she desperately shook his body, trying to wake him!
However, after only a few shakes, her entire body also began to ache severely; her chest hurt so much she couldn’t breathe, and her breath gradually weakened.
In less than half a minute, her body fell into his arms, and she stopped breathing.
…
Su Yumo suffered from insomnia again that evening.
Over the past few days, she hardly slept well at night; sotis, she couldn’t fall asleep until very late, and she didn’t know why!
In any case, many troubling thoughts lingered in her mind, making her mood gloomy, and it was hard for her to calm down and, naturally, hard to fall asleep.
Especially tonight, after experiencing that assassination attempt and nearly being strangled by that female assassin, she was still shaken.
With such fear lingering, even though she was sleeping next to Lin Tong, she still felt extrely scared, fearing another assassin would erge from the darkness. She was so frightened she dared not even let her head show outside, as if soone was always watching.
With such a mindset, if she could sleep, that would be truly strange!
At that ti, Su Yumo suddenly wanted to see Ye Xuan for reasons unknown.
It seed that as long as she saw him, she wouldn’t feel frightened! Only lying in his arms could give her enough sense of security.
Su Yumo beca nostalgic for the feeling of sleeping in the sa bed with Ye Xuan, and at that mont, if that “naughty one” was by her side, she surely wouldn’t be scared and guaranteed she could fall asleep within minutes!
Of course, that was provided Ye Xuan didn’t do anything naughty to her.
Or… should I go see him for a mont?
Su Yumo was startled by her own thought! But once the thought surfaced, it lingered in her mind and just wouldn’t go away.
Hmm, just a look to settle her heart, and surely she’d be able to sleep upon returning.
Comforting herself like this, the impulse grew stronger; even just a glimpse would leave her content!
With that thought, Su Yumo couldn’t restrain herself anymore; she got up from the bed, quietly left the room, and didn’t disturb Lin Tong, who was sound asleep.
After leaving the room and gently closing the door, Su Yumo, like a thief, tiptoed to Ye Xuan’s bedroom door.
She hesitated for a mont after looking at the tightly closed bedroom door, but eventually, she moved closer and turned the doorknob.
Click!
The door was opened and wasn’t locked from the inside.
Seeing this, Su Yumo inwardly sighed with relief; a pleased expression appeared on her lovely face, and she quietly opened the door a crack.
Then, taking a deep breath and holding it, she poked her head inside.
The room was dark; once her eyes adjusted, she could see Ye Xuan lying in bed asleep.
Because the light was dim and the distance too far, Su Yumo couldn’t clearly see Ye Xuan’s face, which left her unsatisfied.
So, she wanted to get closer for a better look, and she widened the door gap further, stealthily sneaking into Ye Xuan’s room.
Her footsteps were as cautious as if treading on landmines, her pace as stealthy as a cat’s, moving closer to the bed!
Before long, Su Yumo finally reached the bedside; now she could get up close and observe Ye Xuan carefully.
