Chapter 167 Assassinating Qin Hao (2)
âYes, yes, yes. We will definitely succeed.âCang Ying hastily expressed that he agreed with Long Taibai, how could he dare to disobey? Then, he added another piece of news, âDragon Head, according to the reports from our information collector, recently, people of half ancient martial sects have entered the cities. Nobody knows what they are planning to do.â
âHalf ancient martial sects?â Long Taibaiâs face, which had not changed for years, changed again as he frowned slightly. âThey rarely come to the city, is there something big happening?â
âI donât know. According to the reports of our people, they are mainly from Jinwu Sect, led by their Young Lord, who originally was going to marry a disciple called Shi Bingying in Serenity House. However, for some reason, even the people from the Serenity House followed them to the city, as if they were looking for something. âCang Ying deliberately chose his words, as he wasnât too sure about this news, so he didnât dare to speak carelessly.
If they decided to come to the city to look for something instead of marrying a beauty, it could not be something ordinary. However, he wouldnât have the guts to fight with half ancient martial sects for what they were looking for, no matter how good it was. It will be a great kindness if they donât cause troubles in the city nor make things difficult for his people.
According to the agreement, once there was a Martial Cultivator causing trouble in the city and breaking the law, the Dragon Group had to fight them; otherwise, there would be no need for the Dragon Group to exist.
âTell our men to keep a close eye on their movements, but do not provoke them.â After being silent for a while, Long Taibai returned to his dead body look and ordered with a cold tone.
âYes.â Cang Ying nodded, âOne more thing, the envoys from the Elysian Land Sect have come to meet me. They need us to give them an explanation for the fact that the Elysian Four Ghosts died in the battle for us.â
âHumph, they were not competent enough, and they are asking for an explanation, they should go look for Qin Hao for the explanation.â Long Taibai scoffed.
âHead Long, although what you said is true, we need to continue cooperating with Elysian Land Sect. Furthermore, Elysian Land Sect is not a push-over, so if they really cause trouble, it would be difficult for us to deal with it.âCang Ying tried his best to persuade him, â Besides, now is the best chance for us to have further cooperation with Elysian Land Sect. Now that the Elysian Four Ghosts have been killed by Qin Hao, with their way of doing things, they will definitely not let Qin Hao off. Due to our identity, it is not convenient for us Dragon Group to face Qin Hao in broad daylight. But they do not have such worry, so we can definitely kill him taking advantage of this. âAt the end of his sentence, Cang Ying revealed a sinister smile.
âNo need. Qin Hao will not live past tonight.â Since Long Taibai had already decided to invite âher,â there was no possibility of failure. Long Taibai had absolute confidence in âher.â
Cang Ying, on the other hand, felt that Long Taibaiâs confidence was too blind. He wouldnât have much dissent when facing an ordinary person, but when it came to dealing with this monster, Qin Hao, since he already had a lesson caused by underestimation of his strength. If he wanted to make a move now, he had to formulate a plan to ensure that there were no mistakes. But since Long Taibai had made his decision, he could not say anything else.
Long Taibai said that but he was still a little afraid of the Elysian Land Sect, so he had no choice but to continue: âI will personally respond to Elysian Land Sect, you donât need to worry about it. Your current mission is to go to Changhai by a private plane immediately, and take care of all the preparations.â
âYes.âCang Ying turned around and left without another word.
After Cang Ying left, Long Taibai stood up and walked out of the meeting room.
In an ancient looking pavilion, there was a room with a light fragrance. A woman with a beautiful figure and a black veil was sitting in front of the balcony, caressing a zither with her slender fingers. The sound of the zither was musical and pleasing to the ear, and the beauty was elegant and fragrant.
When Long Taibai walked into the pavilion, he listened to the sound of the zither and looked at the beauty. For a moment, he had forgotten about the disturbance in the world, and his heart was at peace as if this place was the pure land for cleaning the filth in his heart.
With a âdongâ sound, the zither music stopped. The beauty raised her head and looked out the window at the bright and beautiful sunlight. She did not turn her head, but spoke slowly: âSenior, youâve come.â
Long Taibaiâs face, which was as pale as a dead manâs, revealed a smile. If anyone said that he could still smile, it would definitely be a rare occurrence like the sun rising from the west. But now, he was smiling and only at this moment did he look like a person alive.
âYou Ying, sorry to bother you again.â Long Taibaiâs voice was gentle, it carried warmth like the sun, and the previous bone-chilling coldness had disappeared. The moment he entered this room, it was as if all the coldness in his body had been melted by the air.
âSenior, whatâs the matter?âYou Ying asked softly.
âYou Ying, I didnât want to bother you, but this time âŠPlease forgive me. â Long Taibaiâs said with a feeling of apology.
You Ying fell into silence, and the room also fell into a deathly silence. This kind of silence made Long Taibai feel a little uneasy in his heart, âYou Ying, if youâre not willing, thenâŠâ
âSenior, is the matter so troublesome that even you canât deal with it?âYou Yingâs tone sounded somewhat puzzled.
Long Taibai sighed: âWith my status, itâs not convenient for me to do it myself, so I wanted to trouble you to go.â
âAlas âŠâ The woman sighed, âIf it werenât something significant, you wouldnât have come to see me. Alright, Iâll help you this time. Who is the target?â
Hearing that You Ying had agreed, Long Taibai heaved a sigh of relief, and lightly walked over and handed over a picture.
You Ying extended her slender fingers and took the picture. When the pair of watery eyes above the black veil saw the young face in the photo, she was stunned. After a long time, she put the picture down and sighed, âToo young.â
âYeah, heâs very young.â Long Taibai had to admit this.
âSenior, can such a young man threaten you? Why do you want him dead?âYou Ying couldnât help but feel a hint of pity in her heart.
Long Taibai laughed bitterly, âHe once killed six great sectsâ Perfection Stage Experts, including an expert in the Middle Stage of the Perfection Stage. And just yesterday, he swept through Dragon Groupâs stronghold in the Western Mountain by himself. Almost all people were slaughtered by him, only one escaped. â
Upon hearing this, You Yingâs expression changed, âHeâs that powerful?â
âOtherwise, why would I ask for your help?â
âOh, I see.âYou Ying nodded slightly and stopped asking. To her, there was no need to ask so much. She was an assassin and only needed to know who her target was. She would be asking too much if she wondered about other information.
âWhen do we make our move?â
âA private plane will take off at 8 PM, and arrive at Changhai in one and a half hours. Itâs up to you when to take action after it arrives in Changhai, I just need him to not live past tonight. There will be someone there to help you. â
âThereâs no need to help. I just need them to provide me with the specific location of the target. Iâll handle the rest myself.â
âAlright. Sister Ying, Iâll be waiting for your good news. Remember, that brat might have incredibly powerful cultivation resources after you kill him, you must search his body carefully. â The last instruction was what Long Taibai wanted to emphasize.
Chang Hai City, First Hospital, the best hospital in Changhai.
At the moment, the hospital was surrounded by sentries on all sides. In addition to the soldiers holding big guns, there were also men with plainclothes.
In an ICU on the twelfth floor, Qin Hao was lying on a sickbed. He was still in a coma, wearing an oxygen mask and on a drip.
Outside the ward, other than the guards from the Eagle Force, even Baldy and the others had all arrived. They were all standing guard at the door. After such a massive incident, they were all afraid that the Dragon Group would take revenge on Qin Hao. The current Qin Hao could even be stabbed to death by a child.
Of course, the Dragon Group did not dare to do it openly, because of his identity of major- General, even if he were guilty of murder, they would have to wait for him to wake up, and then go through a set of legal procedures to convict him before dealing with him.
What they were afraid of was that the Dragon Group might take secret moves, killing Qin Hao and leaving no evidence for them to say anything.
Therefore, baldy and the others didnât dare to let their guard down.
âDoctor, what is Qin Haoâs condition?â Inside the infirmary, Li Zhanwu asked an old medical expert anxiously.
The old expert was holding the image of Qin Haoâs entire body in one hand and a magnifying glass in the other, his eyebrows frowning.
In the image, none of Qin Haoâs bones seemed to be complete.
This made him so shocked that he did not even hear Li Zhanwuâs question, and he exclaimed, âMiracle, Miracle. It was a miracle he was still alive. A miracle. â
âHey, Doctor, youâve said miracles many times. Is he going to survive or not? â Li Zhanwu was furious, at this time, Qin Hao could not die; otherwise, all of his efforts would be in vain, and the Sky Group would be finished.
âOh, General, Iâm sorry.â The old expert reacted and hurriedly apologized, âWell, judging from his current situation, it wonât be a problem for him to survive.â
âThatâs good.â Li Zhanwu sighed with relief, âThen, how long will it take for him to recover?â What he was worried about the most was that they would be in deep trouble it takes months.
âRecover? General, you are too optimistic. It is already a miracle that he can survive. As for recovery, well ⊠well ⊠weâll need to wait till he wakes up, then weâll see.â The old expertâs tone was very pessimistic. âOf course, if you really want him to recover, that asks for another miracle.â
âOh gosh, isnât this taking my life?â Li Zhanwu raised his head and looked at the sky, speechlessly. At the same time, he was extremely furious in his heart. He had repeatedly told Qin Hao to go back earlier, but he wouldnât listen, look what has happened now!
Itâs okay for him, he can just lie there and ignore everything else. What should I do with this mess he left behind?
The Dragon Group had lost a stronghold, and even lost so many people, would they be willing to let it go? When the time came, they would definitely go to the superiors and make a complaint about him. Now that Qin Haoâs public identity was with the Eagle Force, how could he, the superior officer of the Eagle Force, not have responsibilities? When he was held accountable, he would definitely bear the brunt of the blame.
Just as he was feeling annoyed and depressed in his heart, Yu Lianshu came in and whispered into his ear, âGeneral, Director Wang is here.â
âWhat? Elder Wang came in person?â Li Zhanwuâs expression changed; this matter was truly blown up.
âYes, you might as well go outside to welcome him in person.â Yu Lianshu suggested.
âAlright, letâs go.â Li Zhanwu immediately walked out of the infirmary. As he left, he instructed the old expert to do whatever was possible, no matter the cost, to wake Qin Hao up.
It was already 11 PM, and Director Wang had come to visit in person, so it could be seen that the matter was unusual. Li Zhanwu walked in a hurry to the elevator door, escorted by several guards.
The elevator door opened with a âdingâ sound. A beautiful nurse with a medicine box and a mask on her face stepped out of the elevator.
Because they were pressed for time, Li Zhanwu and the rest did not notice the nurse. They immediately entered the elevator as soon as the nurse walked out. Halfway down the elevator, Li Zhanwu suddenly remembered something, and asked Yu Lianshu loudly: âLianshu, which floor did the nurse go to just now?â
âGeneral, we met her on the 12th floor, so of course, she was going to the 12th floor.â Yu Lianshu answered. He was a little confused about why Li Zhanwu asked such a simple question.
âRight now, there is only one patient on the twelfth floor, and that is Qin Hao. The nurses taking care of Qin Hao are all on the 12th floor, why would she go from the elevator? â Li Zhanwu frowned as he thought, âSs, that nurse âŠ? There seems to be a killing intent emanating from her body! A killing intent!â
