Female Novel
Chapter 322 The Assassination Continued
The night was cold.
The moon was partially obscured by the clouds.
The protruded cliff stone was faintly visible through the bamboo grove.
But Jack could not see clearly what was on top of it.
“You, are you still there?”
Jack muttered confusedly.
Mengpo was able to kill him in one shot just now, but she was shooting the arrow to deliver her words
to him.
That revealed the extreme confidence of her assassination skills.
The content of the note, in other words, was to tell him that Mengpo could kill him even if securities
were set up on the cliff stone.
The only difference was that the difficulty had increased.
As if she was saying, only the difficulty of multiple security system suited her identity as the top
assassin.
The arrow shot out just now was a fluke.
But Jack could not laugh at it, a strong sense of frustration rose in him instead.
He did not like that feeling, so he pushed open the window.
As his voice fell.
Whoosh!
There was another faint break of wind in the darkness.
Vaguely, Jack could feel something coming to him at a great speed.
But this time, he did not dodge.
Duang!
The arrow trembled as it nailed against the outer wall by the window.
And on top, there was also a note.
There was only a word written on it.
“Gutsy!”
He smiled. His smile was bitter and helpless.
He was assured that Mengpo would not kill him that night when he pushed open the window.
Otherwise, the reminder notes from her just now would be meaningless.
That was how the strong play along.
They wouldn’t bother to lower the difficulty to kill someone like an ant.
Jack had the same thoughts, so he was sure that Mengpo thought the same.
Next time, though, may not be the same case.
Jack shook his head and crumpled the note. He threw it out of the window and closed the window.
A silent night.
The next morning.
Jack woke up. He called out for Mr. Ward and Lone Wolf to tell them what happened last night.
Mr. Ward and Lone Wolf were shocked when they heard that.
It was known that when they entered the Four impression Club.
The Four Impression Club’s security system was upgraded to the highest.
Lone Wolf also took the security team and cleared the bamboo grove while placing the security
devices.
And, there was still a loophole with such security precaution?
“I’m sorry, Mr. Hughes. The back hill is steep and dangerous. So, when we checked in yesterday, my
team and I assumed that no one would come down from there, but we did not expect…”
Lone Wolf felt guilty and regretful. If Mengpo did not let go of Jack on purpose last night, it would be his
corpse laying in that room waiting for them that morning because of the loophole.
“Don’t blame yourself. Not just you, even I thought it was not possible to come in through there.”
Jack shook his hand and interrupted Lone Wolf. The steep on the back of the hill had no foothold at a
glance. The only place to stand was the protruded cliff stones. But to come down from the top of the hill
to the cliff stone was a matter of near-death peril.
They were not to blame. The assassin was to blame for trying so hard.
“Lone Wolf, immediately take someone to set up the back of the hill. The loophole mistake should not
be repeated.
Mr. Ward ordered with a deep voice. His eyes were rolling as if he was thinking about something.
After Lone Wolf left.
Then Mr. Ward said, “It is lucky that you have escaped death last night, young master.”
“She thought it was too easy to kill me last night. So, she didn’t bother to kill me.” Jack smiled bitterly,
“But, once the back of the hill was set up, she would not spare my life on the next kill.”
Mr. Ward sighed with lingering fear in him, “I did not expect that Mengpo would come so soon. If she
comes a little later, there might be someone who could compete with her.”
Jack ‘s eyes shrunk and went back to normal again.
His left hand was clenching tight silently.
When he let go of his tightly gripping left hand, he asked, “How about my father’s investigation on
Madam Hughes?”
Mr. Ward shook his head, “We have no idea. But, according to one of my informers, the primary result
of the investigation was this might not have anything to do with Madam Hughes.”
“Nothing to do with her?” Jack was astonished.
Mr. Ward said, “Madam Hughes recently lived in the Buddhist temple, chanting sutras and Buddha
scripts. She had no contact with anyone, and her trusted people did not live in the temple with her. She
was isolated from the world.”
Jack rubbed his nose and gazed deeply, “If it was not her, who would be behind this assassination?”
“Burton family? Quinn Family? Or your other enemies, young master?” Mr. Ward asked tentatively.
Jack shook his head and said, “The Burton’s are a bunch of fools and wouldn’t do such a thing. Yael
and Amelia are now in charge of the Quinn family’s main resources. The Quinn family would not dare
to do that either. As for other enemies…”
Jack looked at Mr. Ward eagerly, “You know, I’ve been good to everyone. Why would I have so many
enemies?”
Mr. Ward was silent for a few seconds and shook his head, “We’ll wait for the Old Master to investigate
this matter and discuss it then.”
…
For the next one week.
Jack did not step out of the Bamboo Grove at all.
Killers were found, although they were under strong security surveillance. Lone Wolf and the security
team managed to stop the crisis with a rapid response before the assassinations were made.
In just one week, 18 attempts of assassination were made.
Such a frequency of killing attempts was murderous.
And, as time passed, the assassins were attempting the kill more frequently.
Just as Jack predicted from before, as things prolonged, the assassination had gradually turned into a
competitive hunt.
Over time, the frequency of assassination would only be higher, if the delegated target was not killed.
Jim led the Zhuge family’s intelligence network and with the help of the power of Aiden and Drago.
They rummaged through the whole city and found many suspicious persons who were suspected to be
killers.
But there was no sign of the expendable mercenaries!
As if after the fight on the TM Mountain, the expendable mercenaries who fled were afraid and gave up
upon killing Jack and had gone to somewhere far away.
Late that night.
Jack looked at the information of the assassination in the Four Impression Club that had been
arranged. He frowned and put on a serious facial expression.novelbin
“Young Master, it’s already late. Please rest.” Mr. Ward brought him a bowl of ginger soup, “Drink some
ginger soup to warm your body.”
“Aren’t there any findings of the Deadpool Mercenary?”
Jack put down the data and said in a deep voice, “They are a group of desperadoes who always kill
people. They would not give up just like that. I would not be in peace if they were not found. And the
frequency of killing. Lone Wolf had found four assassins, killed three and one fled, just the day before.”
Mr. Ward was speechless. He was helpless.
They were on the passive side.
That was the best way to deal with the assassination. There was no other way.
Just then.
The door was pushed open again.
Lone Wolf came in hurriedly and said alertly.
“Young Master, someone had come from the back of the hill. The surveillance camera caught the
footage of the person. Young Master, Mr. Ward, please leave this room!”
Jack and Mr. Ward looked at each other.
Was… Mengpo here again?
