Chapter 233 The Hidden Crisis!
And Chunlan, who stood by his side, expressionlessly drew out the dagger and plunged it into his chest again.
After several stabs, his chest was drenched in blood…
Having done all this,
Chunlan pulled out the dagger and retreated seven or eight steps.
"You…" Chu Tianjiao looked at Chunlan with disbelief, blood spilling from his mouth.
"Why would you do this?"
Chunlan's expression was indifferent, "There is no why, this was always my mission."
"Heh…" Chu Tianjiao sneered, "I never thought I, who have been wise all my life, would fall at your hands."
A coldness appeared in Chunlan's eyes, "Do you know what I hate the most? First, the slave mark on my body; second, the poison within me… Chu Tianjiao, your life has come to an end, it's time for you to depart."
Chu Tianjiao let out a desolate laugh and fell backwards.
Chunlan, without a trace of emotion, tossed him into the flames amidst the ruins and left…
Half an hour later.
In Jiangcheng, a large suite in a high-end hotel.
Chunlan pushed the door open and walked in.
She knelt on one knee.
"Master, the mission, has been completed!"
She knelt upright.
In her line of sight, a man appeared.
He was tall and wore a mask, revealing a pair of chilling eyes.
"Xiyun, you are finally back." The man smiled, stroking Chunlan's cheek.
"I have completed my task and earnestly request that the master fulfill his promise, to release my family and… to rid me of the poison in my body, Xiyun would be eternally grateful!"
She said, devoid of emotion.
"Heh—" The man chuckled softly, "No need to rush; indeed, I did say that before, but now, unfortunately, there has been a change in circumstances!"
"So, Xiyun, I still need you…"
Chunlan's eyes trembled slightly.
The man paid no heed to the change in her expression, turned away, and spoke indifferently, "Now Chu Tianjiao has fallen in Jiangcheng, the Chu Family will certainly not let this go."
"You have successfully instigated the conflict between that boy and the Chu Family."
"Next, we just need to sit back and watch the tigers fight."
Stay connected through empire
"Also, that Tianyuan Wanshan Map, do your best to retrieve it from that boy for me!"
A hint of ruthlessness appeared in his eyes, "At all costs."
Chunlan bit her lip, "It's not that Chunlan is unwilling to follow the master's orders, but now my identity is nearly exposed. How can I approach the Chu Family and Qin Jiang?"
"I can't get close to either party."
At that remark, the man let out a light laugh, "Don't worry, everything is under my control."
"Alone, you would indeed have trouble completing the task."
"Hence, I have found you a partner."
"The two of you together, following my plan, will surely be able to easily complete my mission."
"Come out…"
As his words fell, a woman in a bathrobe walked out from the neighboring room.
She was tall and enchanting, with a rosy complexion, looking at the man flatteringly, and then she walked up to Chunlan.
Chunlan stared intently at the woman before her.
She had never seen this woman's face before, yet those eyes were eerily familiar!
"You are…"
The woman smiled slightly, extending her hand, "You can call me Luo Shifei, or you can call me by my new name…"
"My new partner, I hope we can… work well together."
Chunlan swallowed, lifting her eyelids, she replied indifferently, "Pleasure working with you…"
Meanwhile, at the other side, after the banquet in Enterprise City ended.
Inside a private room of Xinghe Hotel.
Qin Jiang, Xu Muge, Zhao Yuefei, Ye Longchen, and others were sitting in the room.
Zhao Yuefei answered a phone call, and swiftly, her pretty face turned grim!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
She hung up the phone and said through gritted teeth, "Chu Tianjiao is dead…"
Qin Jiang sipped his tea and said calmly, "Doesn't that prove your scheme was very successful?"
"You made a plan within a plan, set a trap for Chu Tianjiao, and now he is dead."
Zhao Yuefei shook her head, "The Tianmu Assassin I hired just reported back to me that the ambush on Chu Tianjiao was unsuccessful; only Chu Zhenxiao died in that explosion…"
Ye Longchen suddenly lifted his eyes, "Are you suggesting that a third party has intervened? With Chu Tianjiao's death, we become the prime suspects, and the Chu Family's swords will be aimed at us."
