CHAPTER 118: CHAPTER 117: EXECUTING THE TASK

After Li Muyang returned, the first thing he did was send the information back, asking the old master at home to help with the investigation, since the old man’s authority was much greater than his.

He was becoming increasingly suspicious of this Yang Chen.

Back then, Yang Chen had flown back on the same flight as Ye Xin, and Li Muyang even thought that the two assassins were targeting Yang Chen!

Even more coincidentally, the orphanage where Yang Chen used to stay was also near Baihe!

What do these coincidences imply?

A cold glint flickered in Li Muyang’s eyes.

...

Sea View Beautiful Scene.

Building Nine.

In the evening, three people sat at the dining table, enjoying the food.

The two women had completely become captives of Yang Chen’s cooking, finding others’ meals hard to swallow.

"Honestly, Yang Chen, you should open a restaurant!" Wei Xueqing said.

Yang Chen smiled and continued eating.

"I’m serious, I’ve eaten in many restaurants in the Northern Federation, and none of them were as good as yours!" Wei Xueqing was earnest; she truly believed Yang Chen’s cooking was delicious.

This couldn’t help but remind Yang Chen of a joke.

A Flame Country student went to study in the Northern Federation, where all his dormmates ate out.

One time, when they returned, they smelled a wonderfully fragrant aroma in the dorm; it turned out their Flame Country dormmate was cooking tomato and scrambled eggs.

The Flame Country student warmly invited them to join for a meal.

After tasting the tomato and scrambled eggs, they cried with emotion, saying they had never tasted anything so good.

Actually, it was just a joke, but it also showcased the poor cooking skills in the West; in many families in the Federation, they rarely stir-fry dishes, usually opting for simple salads or boiled dishes... those flavors were indeed hard to stomach.

"By the way, Yang Chen, Gregory is coming tomorrow, how should we entertain them?" Wei Xueqing asked.

Yang Chen thought for a moment and said, "Let’s follow the usual arrangements during the day, and invite him over in the evening. I’ll cook for you guys, this will better showcase our hospitality and make him feel more at home."

Hearing this, Wei Xueqing’s eyes lit up, she exclaimed excitedly, "That’s a brilliant idea!"

Yang Chen glanced at Ye Xin and noticed that she had been looking intensely at something on her phone, her expression somewhat solemn. He couldn’t help but ask, "Dear, what’s wrong?"

"Huh? What?" Ye Xin raised her head, forcing a smile.

"Is there something bothering you?" Yang Chen asked.

Normally, Ye Xin was always cheerful around him, and now her sudden silence made him uneasy.

"Nothing!" Ye Xin smiled, put down her spoon, and said, "I’m done eating, I’ll head upstairs to rest first."

Having said that, Ye Xin got up and left.

Wei Xueqing and Yang Chen watched Ye Xin’s departing figure with furrowed brows.

"What’s wrong with Xinxin?" Wei Xueqing asked.

Yang Chen shook his head; he wasn’t sure either.

...

At night, Wei Xueqing was sound asleep, while Ye Xin quietly got out of bed, changed into nightwear, and walked out to the balcony.

She opened the laptop and pulled up the information.

This was information sent to her by her team, indicating that an A-level assassin had entered Ningchuan, seemingly on some mission.

Someone had already gone to carry out the mission, but never returned, seemingly having sacrificed themselves.

Though Ye Xin was on vacation, she had to step in when faced with such a situation.

Of course, Ye Xin also prepared medication just in case her condition worsened.

The location was pinpointed to an urban village in the West Suburb.

Confirming the information, Ye Xin jumped down from the building, started her car, and left.

Meanwhile, Yang Chen’s figure appeared in front of the French windows, watching Ye Xin’s car drive off into the distance.

Yang Chen frowned, as he knew there was definitely something going on with Ye Xin!

Immediately, Yang Chen grabbed his keys, started his Maserati Quattroporte, and followed.

Ye Xin arrived at Emperor Garden.

Yang Chen parked his car in a hidden corner and followed her inside.

He quietly trailed behind and saw Ye Xin enter the basement.

Yang Chen was filled with surprise, as he hadn’t realized there was even a basement here!

Seeing that the basement required fingerprint, facial, and iris recognition to enter, Yang Chen dismissed the idea of going inside and left the villa, waiting outside.

Soon, Yang Chen saw Ye Xin come out, now equipped with a lot more gear.

Seeing this, Yang Chen couldn’t help but chuckle; he hadn’t known that Ye Xin’s villa hid so many things.

Ye Xin set off again, heading towards the West Suburb.

Since it was midnight, there were very few cars, making it easy for Yang Chen to be detected if he followed too closely.

So Yang Chen turned off all the lights, keeping a distance behind, only able to barely see the lights of Ye Xin’s car.

Driving without lights at night is very dangerous as it makes it hard to see others, and others can’t see the car either, posing danger akin to walking a tightrope without any safety gear!

Fortunately, Yang Chen’s night vision was good, enabling him to barely avoid danger in time.

At the urban village on the edge of the West Suburb, Yang Chen saw Ye Xin’s car.

He parked his car and quietly followed her.

On the outskirts of the urban village, inside a dilapidated house.

Ye Xin whispered, "Address location!"

The remote team immediately confirmed the information, combining it with information previously sent back by agents, affirming, "Address confirmed, the enemy is inside the house!"

Ye Xin put on her goggles, activated infrared sensing, and confirmed that there were three people inside the house.

All of these visuals were being sent back in real-time, and the team immediately said, "The house owner information has been sent back, please ensure the safety of the hostages!"

Ye Xin glanced at the information on her smart watch, feeling a headache. There were hostages, making any combat actions cautious.

She was unaware that not far away, someone was watching her.

Yang Chen took a look at Ye Xin and stealthily approached the house she was observing.

At this moment, Ye Xin was startled, as she noticed another person from the infrared sensor.

Based on Yang Chen’s movements, Ye Xin was able to tell that this person was definitely not aligned with the people inside the house!

Immediately, she asked, "What’s happening? Has the top sent other people for this mission?"

"Please hold on, we’ll investigate right away!" because they hadn’t received any support information either.

Meanwhile, Yang Chen had already confirmed the information inside the house.

Through the glass, he saw one of the men sitting at a table, polishing a kukri knife. Judging by the cold gleam it emitted, Yang Chen concluded the knife was very sharp, definitely not a common item!

At the same time, he noticed a crossbow arrow placed on the table.

He quietly moved to another room and saw there were two hostages tied up.

Yang Chen suddenly understood; so Ye Xin was here to carry out a mission!

However, judging by the man’s demeanor, Yang Chen knew this person was very dangerous; he couldn’t let Ye Xin take such a risk.

So, he decided to take the initiative!

Yang Chen silently slipped into the room through the window.

The room was very basic, without any hiding spots.

Yang Chen didn’t intend to hide and ambush; the man in front of him wasn’t someone who warranted such cautiousness.

"Hey! Who are you?" Yang Chen asked.

Hearing this voice, the man suddenly froze, his body tensing with a look of disbelief and fear on his face.
