The Beautiful CEO's Personal Mad Doctor

Chapter 361: Chapter 361: Let’s Discuss Something, Stop Arguing, Alright?

Cheng Hongbing knew his son very well. If it wasn’t something that had actually happened, he would never say it so confidently in front of everyone.

In other words, Cheng Yuan really did know the City Lord!

And they had a good relationship!

Cheng Hongbing smiled. ”Is this supposed to be a surprise? I’m afraid it’ll be more of a scare when the time comes!”

At his side, Wu Xiuli finally let out a breath. ”This is clearly Xiaoyuan’s accomplishment, yet some people refuse to believe it. When the City Lord comes in person, they’ll have no choice!”

As the three of them were laughing and talking, Cheng Yuan’s phone rang. He took it out and saw it was a call from Xuanyuan Potian.

Cheng Yuan walked to a corner and answered the call.

”Young Master, the assassin’s identity has been confirmed. He’s an assassin from Daqingyi.”

Cheng Yuan frowned. ”I’ve never offended anyone from Daqingyi. Why would they want to kill me?”

”I do not know.”

”Investigate at once! How many other Daqingyi assassins are there in Luocheng?”

”I’m already on it. We’ve currently identified three temporary Daqingyi bases within Luocheng. The information and their locations have been sent to your email, Young Master.”

Cheng Yuan nodded in satisfaction. ”Potian, you’re very thorough. You’ve already thought ahead. By the way, how are your injuries? Come to Luocheng tomorrow, and I’ll help you recuperate.”

”My injuries have mostly healed. Thank you for your concern, Young Master.”

”By the way, Potian, doesn’t something seem a little strange to you? Why did He Tianci suddenly come to Luocheng, and why did he seek out my wife? Is it really such a coincidence?”

The question jolted Xuanyuan Potian. A thousand thoughts raced through his mind in an instant!

”Young Master, I’ve just recalled something. The day before Tianci went to Luocheng, Gu Feiyun came seeking an audience with me to complain about you!”

”Who is Gu Feiyun? And what did he complain about?”

”Gu Feiyun is Gu Chen’s father. He told me that you were the one who wiped out the Wang Family and killed Wang Yuanchen! He thought Wang Yuanchen was my senior brother and that I would avenge him! What he didn’t know, however, is that Wang Yuanchen was merely an Outer Disciple and didn’t count as my senior brother.”

’Gu Chen’s father?’

Cheng Yuan couldn’t help but narrow his eyes. ’And here I thought Gu Chen was just a bad apple, and that it had nothing to do with his family!’

’I never expected it. The fish rots from the head down; the entire Gu Family is rotten to the core!’

”Very good. I’ll have to pay the Gu Family a personal visit myself.”

Cheng Yuan hung up the phone, opened his email, and checked the information Xuanyuan Potian had sent.

In the blink of an eye, it was eleven o’clock at night.

It was a dark and windy night.

Cheng Yuan changed into a set of dark clothes, and, riding the night wind, drifted out of Villa No. 1 like a ghost.

「Ten minutes later.」

Cheng Yuan arrived at the Hilton Hotel.

Cheng Yuan didn’t use the main entrance, not wanting his image to be caught on the surveillance cameras.

Like a gecko, Cheng Yuan moved swiftly up the wall, quickly scrambling up to the third floor.

For an assassin, the third floor was the perfect height.

It offered a certain degree of safety, and it wasn’t so high that a fall would be fatal during an escape.

In Room 307, several young men wore grim expressions.

”Gunman has been missing for eight hours. He must have been exposed. What should we do? Do we continue the mission?”

”Gunman was the best sniper from the Central Warzone. He took out over three hundred enemies and was never discovered. His stealth and surveillance skills were the best among us. If even he was exposed, I’m afraid we won’t be able to get any more information on the target.”

”I recommend we cancel the mission, report this to headquarters, and raise the target’s threat level.”

Iron Hammer, who was closest to Gunman, grew furious.

”You bunch of cowards! Gunman was our best brother! You’re not going to avenge him? He’s just some damn ex-con! I’ll go smash him to a pulp myself!”

”Iron Hammer, we’re assassins, not Warriors! You need to calm down!”

”Calm my ass! Even if all of you give up on the mission, I’ll take him out by myself!”

The assassins argued fiercely, completely unaware of a faint sound from the window as a ghostly figure slipped inside.

The soles of this figure’s feet were like a cat’s paws; he made no sound at all!

”Mind if I cut in? Could you please stop shouting? You, the big guy. Yeah, you’re the loudest. Weren’t you going to smash me to a pulp? Well, here I am. Go on, take your shot.”

The assassins’ argument came to an abrupt halt. They whipped their heads toward the source of the voice and saw Cheng Yuan watching them with a grin!

Iron Hammer looked like he had just seen a ghost. He wouldn’t dare make a move. Instead, he subconsciously took several steps back!

Even though Cheng Yuan was smiling, the assassins were utterly terrified!

A chill shot up from their tailbones straight to the tops of their skulls!

’How did the target know about our safe house?’

’When did he get into the room?’

’Why didn’t we notice a thing?’

’No wonder Gunman was exposed so quickly!’

SHING! SHING! SHING!

The assassins drew all sorts of weapons, but they didn’t feel the slightest bit safer for it. They stared at Cheng Yuan with grave expressions!

The strongest of these assassins was only at the Grandmaster Stage Early Stage. Cheng Yuan wasn’t the least bit panicked, even with them holding Hot Weapons.

Cheng Yuan unhurriedly pulled over a chair, sat down nonchalantly, and even crossed his legs.

”If you don’t want to die, tell me: who hired you to kill me?”

The assassins didn’t answer. They just looked at each other, completely dumbfounded!

This was the first time they’d ever encountered a situation where the target came to them. They were at a complete loss!

Iron Hammer was the first to snap out of it. To avenge his good brother, he roared, ”Brothers, the target delivered himself to our doorstep! If we take him out, there’s a two-million-US-Dollar reward! Let’s get him! Kill him!!”

After yelling, Iron Hammer was the first to charge. Unfortunately, no one moved with him. The moment he launched his attack, the other assassins’ figures blurred as they scattered!

Some rushed for the door, some for the window, and another for the air vent!

It had to be said, the assassins had the right idea. Unfortunately for them, they were up against Cheng Yuan!

With a loud THUD, Cheng Yuan launched a kick that sent Iron Hammer flying! He crashed hard into the assassin running for the door, and the impact left both men severely injured, sprawled on the ground and unable to get back up.

Cheng Yuan raised his hand and unleashed his Shaoshang Sword. The assassin running for the window was struck, collapsing to the ground, instantly lifeless.

As for the assassin heading for the air vent, Cheng Yuan paid him no mind. He was in for a miserable fate, because Little Silkworm was waiting in the vent!

”AHH!”

A bloodcurdling scream came from the direction of the air vent. The assassin was on the ground, clutching his stomach and writhing in agony!

Cheng Yuan walked over to the assassin below the vent and asked coolly, ”If you don’t want to die, tell me. Who hired you to kill me?”

”I don’t know!!”

”Then die!”

Little Silkworm instantly pierced the assassin’s heart. The man’s life faded in moments.

With a WHOOSH, Little Silkworm flew back into Cheng Yuan’s hand. Its mouth glowed with an eerie red light, making it look both cute and somewhat sinister.

Cheng Yuan toyed with Little Silkworm as he slowly walked over to Iron Hammer and the assassin he had knocked down. He said nonchalantly, ”Little Silkworm’s patience is limited. You have two choices. One, tell me everything I want to know. Two, have Little Silkworm pierce your hearts. You have five seconds to think it over!”
