CHAPTER 297: CHAPTER 297: CHARM TECHNIQUE FAILED

"Yes!"

The two of them responded and then split up, one went to call someone to tidy up the room, and the other went to check how that woman got in?

The blonde woman left the hotel and headed straight for the bar. Inside a private room at the bar, Old Man Shan was drinking. When he saw the woman enter the room, he certainly wasn’t surprised.

Recently, he had been having someone investigate that Qin Er Ye, but no matter how they checked, they couldn’t find much information. This person was very mysterious, only appearing as an ordinary professor on the surface.

But Old Man Shan knew this person was definitely not simple. Initially, he heard that he was the second master of the Qin Family, but he didn’t think much of it. After all, Qin Xiao was just a professor, he thought if a family’s second master was just a professor, the family couldn’t be that impressive!

It wasn’t until he learned Gu Zhiyuan had died that he seriously started investigating the Qin Family.

This investigation turned out to be shocking; he had truly underestimated the Qin Family earlier, as well as Qin Xiao.

Even though investigating Qin Xiao revealed nothing, the very lack of findings indicated a problem.

Old Man Shan once considered giving up on further pursuing Qin Xiao. After all, with Gu Zhiyuan dead, seeking revenge on Qin Xiao seemed pointless; doing so might only invite trouble.

But just when he had given up, he heard that Qin Xiao was coming to H Country.

Old Man Shan’s heart began to buzz with anticipation again; he had given up revenge because the power of the opponent was too strong in their country, leaving him with no choice but to desist!

Now that this person was coming to H Country, wasn’t he stepping into Shan’s territory? Such a heaven-sent opportunity, how could he let it go?

"Failed?"

The blonde woman sat next to Old Man Shan, sensually brushing aside her long hair, a wave of fragrance wafting through. Old Man Shan’s expression changed, then he drew the woman closer to deal with business.

Afterwards, while the woman adjusted her clothing, her eyes were full of confusion.

The woman was the top-ranked female assassin in her organization, skilled at using Charm Technique!

Every time she assassinated, she would first seduce the man, and then, unknowingly, end his life.

When she received the order to assassinate Qin Xiao, she thought dealing with a professor would be the simplest of tasks. But unexpectedly, this very professor caused her assassination mission to fail!

It was indeed the first time such a thing had happened!

Shock overcame her to the point that when Qin Xiao left, she was still in a daze, frozen on the bed.

It was only when she heard someone opening the door that she hastily wrapped herself in the sheet and escaped through the window.

On her way back to the bar, she kept pondering where she had gone wrong. Could it be that her Charm Technique had regressed?

To confirm, as soon as she entered the room, she used Charm Technique on Old Man Shan, the result was telling!

Since her Charm Technique was not the issue, then where did the problem lie?

Inside the hotel, Qin Xiao looked at the skylight of the room while listening to the report from his subordinate.

"Second master, after checking all the surveillance and gathering information, it was found that the woman entered the room from a passageway between the skylights from another room on the same floor, and left directly through the window!"

Qin Xiao slightly curled his lips, "This is the twenty-eighth floor; she was able to leave through a window, interesting! Can you find out her background?"

Initially, seeing a woman in the bed, Qin Xiao thought it was someone arranged by the hotel, not paying much attention and just called someone to handle it.

But now, it seemed that this person was targeting him specifically. He had just moved in, and the person already found him. He was indeed quite interested in knowing who was behind her.

At this point, Qin Xiao felt some regret. Had he known this woman’s background wasn’t simple, he would certainly have detained her!

"We found out, her name is Rui Lita and she is part of the same mercenary group as Chani and Mark, who were previously captured domestically.

This person is not skilled in hand-to-hand combat but is adept at Charm Technique and wall-climbing!"

The curve of Qin Xiao’s lips abruptly disappeared, leaving his face eerily calm.

Upon knowing that the blonde woman was aligned with those two mercenaries, Qin Xiao’s regret deepened!

"Immediately find out where she is now," Qin Xiao commanded coldly.

In the case of Gu Zhiyuan, two mercenaries had been captured. Qin Xiao didn’t think much of it, assuming they were hired by Gu Zhiyuan through Lawyer Yu with a lot of money.

Now, however, Gu Zhiyuan was dead, and Lawyer Yu was already locked up, yet mercenaries still came for him. This could only suggest someone else was orchestrating things behind the scenes.

Recalling Gu Zhiyuan’s madness, Qin Xiao became wary of whoever was behind this arrangement.

"Yes!"

Once everyone had left, Qin Xiao called Feng Ye, who was still in their country, to have him protect Xiao Li and those around her.

At that moment, Qin Xiao was extremely relieved he hadn’t brought Feng Ye to H Country with him.

Back home, it was already the afternoon shift change at the hospital. Xiao Li let two intern medical students clock out; she and Yue Wenwen were still on night duty.

These two students were on their first day there, so it didn’t make sense to have them do night shifts.

Moreover, Xiao Li didn’t want to bring rookies on night duty!

Because there was a rumor in the industry that the first night shift for newbies was usually not quiet!

The newer the staff on duty, the more unexpected situations occurred!

"Sister, I’m going to order some food. Aren’t you having that love-packed dinner again tonight?" Yue Wenwen asked while pulling out her phone to order food for Xiao Li.

Hearing that she was going to order food, Xiao Li said, "Order a portion for me as well."

Yue Wenwen turned to look at her, "Isn’t Professor Qin delivering tonight?"

Xiao Li smiled, "He’s on a business trip. Before leaving, he said he’d have the aunt at home send food over, but I found it bothersome, so I didn’t let him."

"On a business trip, huh! Haha... Those people who were eagerly waiting will be disappointed now!" Yue Wenwen laughed as she browsed for what to eat.

"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Li was puzzled.

"I mean, last time you were on night duty, Professor Qin not only brought you dinner but stayed with you all night. Our hospital colleagues are now very enthusiastic about indulging in your public display of affection!

So much so that I heard someone planned to witness it in person tonight!

Sister, how about having old duck vermicelli soup for dinner?"

Xiao Li nodded, "Sure, let’s have that!"

Yue Wenwen quickly placed the order and after finishing, put her phone aside to stretch and relax her neck.

Xiao Li picked up her phone and posted on her social media: [Spoiler: The leading man of our affection saga is on a business trip, the show won’t air for the next ten days, so all viewers waiting on-site may disperse!]

After posting the message, Xiao Li checked the time. It was already late at night abroad, and she wondered if the uncle had gone to sleep.

Just as she was thinking about it, her phone rang. Seeing it was Qin Xiao calling, she hastily picked up, "Uncle, why haven’t you gone to bed yet?"

"Got held up by something just now. Nini, I’ve had Feng Ye and his people guard around your hospital, and there’s also someone guarding the child. While you’re on night duty, don’t run out of the inpatient department alone like the other night!"
