Actually, Cai Qin was very patient, and always calm in any situation. Usually, during missions, she was assigned to the command role precisely because of her cool-headedness.
However, Cai Qin could not remain calm now, because the man before her was too detestable, trying to expose her scars.
It should be known that the incident in the interrogation room, where Fang Yi forcibly kissed her, had spread throughout the Dragon Team. Some colleagues pointed fingers at her, while some close female colleagues even asked her how it felt to be kissed by force...
Thinking about these, Cai Qin was furious, wishing she could strangle Fang Yi to death.
"Fine, I won’t mention it then," Fang Yi said.
Cai Qin glared at him fiercely and said coldly, "Take your friend and come with me."
"Are we going to the interrogation room again? Just the two of us alone..." Fang Yi said.
Mentioning the interrogation room made Cai Qin furious as this guy was deliberately provoking her.
Cai Qin drove here in a car that looked ordinary from the outside but was extremely comfortable inside. She drove away from the Dragon Figure Building.
In the car, Cai Qin didn’t say a word, but through the rearview mirror, she could see the two guys in the back, using their phones, apparently texting each other, seemingly in a chat.
The occasional snickering from the two infuriated Cai Qin so much that she wished she could drive the car onto the median.
Soon, the car stopped in front of a coffee shop. Led by Cai Qin, the three of them walked to a corner of the coffee shop.
"You two sit together, just opposite me," Cai Qin said.
"No, I want to sit with you," Fang Yi cooed.
Cai Qin instinctively covered her lips, then her eyes flared with anger, and she bit her beautiful teeth as she said, "No... way!"
The three of them sat down, Fang Yi and Lin Shang together, and Cai Qin opposite them.
Both Fang Yi and Lin Shang had somewhat strange expressions, their faces always bearing faint smiles, as if sneering. Lin Shang might be much better, but Fang Yi, shameless as ever, deliberately showed his teeth, as if asking Cai Qin whether it bothered her or not.
In her rage, Cai Qin suddenly felt as if she had been completely seen through by these two guys.
"Beautiful lady, may I know your esteemed name?" Lin Shang asked very gentlemanly, his face wearing a "gentlemanly" smile.
"What a beautiful name," Lin Shang exclaimed as if in ecstasy, seemingly enchanted.
Cai Qin was not buying his act, as from the brief contact earlier, she knew this guy and the other were up to no good.
"Cut the crap! Phantom, what are you doing in Xuan Cang!" Cai Qin asserted her authority, wanting to get this over with quickly so she wouldn’t have to deal with Fang Yi, which made her both upset and angry.
Yet, Lin Shang chuckled and said, "No rush, beautiful Ms. Cai Qin, let me ask you a question first. As long as you answer me, I will tell you everything you want to know."
Cai Qin slightly narrowed her eyes and said, "Speak!"
Lin Shang leaned in slightly, chuckling, "Well, Ms. Cai Qin, I wonder what it felt like when you kissed Fang Yi?"
Electricity seemed to spark in Cai Qin’s eyes, and in the next moment, she suddenly pulled out a black pistol and pressed its muzzle against Lin Shang’s forehead. Fortunately, they were in a secluded corner, and no one saw.
Even with the gun against his head, Lin Shang was unafraid and continued to smile mischievously.
"Do you believe I’ll blow your brains out!" Cai Qin said coldly, as she hated most when others brought this up.
"I don’t believe it," Lin Shang said. "There are two of us and only one of you, even if your gun is fast, it won’t be faster than both of us."
Cai Qin fell silent for a moment, and finally, she put the pistol away.
The next moment, Cai Qin stared at Fang Yi with a icy gaze.
"Don’t look at me. I promised you I wouldn’t speak, I’d write it," Fang Yi said confidently.
Cai Qin felt an overwhelming urge to explode; she really felt like shooting them all at once.
Just then, Cai Qin saw Fang Yi pulling out a pack of cigarettes. She snatched it away, took one out, threw the pack back at him, and then extended her hand toward Fang Yi.
"Why bother you with that, I’ll do it myself," Fang Yi stood up and obsequiously lit her cigarette.
Although annoyed, Cai Qin couldn’t help but be amused by his obsequious demeanor. Her smile flashed across her face but was gone in an instant as she continued with a stern face, "Don’t think I won’t deal with you just because you’re all smiles and jokes! This isn’t over!"
"Yes, yes, it’s not over. You can deal with me however you like, I won’t complain at all, I’ll get into any position you want," Fang Yi said playfully.
Cai Qin didn’t want to dwell on this any longer. She turned to Lin Shang and demanded, "Now, tell me why you’ve come to Xuan Cang. What are you here for? To kill, or something else?"
"You’ve got me wrong; I’m as pure and kind as Fang Yi. I’m not here to kill; I’m here to find him," Lin Shang said.
"If he counts as pure and kind, I might as well shoot myself. His heart is probably black," Cai Qin took the chance to strike a blow.
"Really, I came to Xuan Cang with no other intention," Lin Shang insisted.
Cai Qin snorted coldly and then looked at Fang Yi, "Make your friend cooperate with my work!"
"He really did come to find me, nothing else," Fang Yi said.
Cai Qin scoffed, "Is that so? Then what about that assassin from Cangyun and the one from the Black Nation?"
"They were hired by Ren Tianqing to kill Shen Binan," Fang Yi explained.
However, Cai Qin shook her head, "You’re wrong."
Fang Yi was taken aback.
"You’re really wrong! Half a month ago, the Dragon Team received intelligence that abroad, someone has offered a substantial bounty for your head. This bounty has tempted many, even the strongest-level assassins, who have specifically come for you," Cai Qin informed him.
Fang Yi frowned, "But I’m already ranked number one on the bounty list, it’s the highest price already."
Cai Qin shook her head, "No, that was only the price a year ago. Now, this bounty is something that tempts all assassins."
"What do you mean?" Fang Yi raised an eyebrow.
"The God of Killers Organization, you must know about it," Cai Qin said.
Fang Yi furrowed his brow.
The God of Killers Organization was one of the most mysterious organizations throughout history, with strong religious elements and a longstanding history. Rumors say it existed even before World War I and became prominent during the war.
Because its assassins had assassinated many heads of state, they were incredibly feared.
During World War I, the organization was extremely active, causing entire nations in the Western Regions to fear it. Ultimately, its members even traveled to the Eastern Domain and had impressive achievements in countries including Cangyun.
Later, the organization tried to extend its reach to Xuan Cang, but regrettably, Xuan Cang at that time, although attacked, was no easy target. According to legends, the martial arts sects acted and drove the God of Killers Organization back. They even pursued them to the Western Regions, aiming to eradicate the organization.
However, what happened afterward remains unknown to outsiders. Some say the God of Killers Organization was exterminated, while others believe remnants still linger. But since that time, no other assassin organization has dared to brazenly reach out towards Xuan Cang.
It could be said that the intervention of Xuan Cang’s hidden masters deterred them for an entire century!
