The King of Assassins' Trail & Methods of Gathering Information

Jiang Junyi's brow furrowed, and he set down Wan Qingyun's delicate jade foot.

He had been wondering just now: with Lin Xiu, this Son of Destiny, right beside Su Ling, how could something like this still happen to the Su Family?

But on second thought, if something like this did not happen, how was Lin Xiu supposed to conquer Su Ling?

Jiang Junyi opened the system, and a dark cover appeared over the File Repository.

Class C Confidential File—"Traces of the King of Assassins": 3000 Pure Love Points

Jiang Junyi was utterly stunned. The King of Assassins?! In other words, this was another Son of Destiny!

He hurriedly exchanged for the file, no longer caring that he had only 1 Pure Love Point left.

"Traces of the King of Assassins"—

He was the assassin most feared by the underground forces of the West, appearing and vanishing like a ghost, coming and going without a trace.

He led a mercenary group called Night Crow, running rampant overseas and striking terror into countless gangs.

Night Crow had always been searching for certain precious materials, seemingly in order to achieve some kind of goal.

At present, the raw materials for Su Corporation's new product had become their target.

But this was destined not to be an incident where a third party reaped the spoils.

Rather, it was the first meeting between the Dragon King and the King of Assassins, laying the foundation for their future alliance.

Think on it. What should you do?

Jiang Junyi closed the file with a dark expression.

This was serious. He had known it—how could Su Corporation, with Lin Xiu there, possibly collapse so easily?

So this was what had been waiting here!

Jiang Junyi lightly tapped the armrest of the sofa. Lin Xiu would help Su Ling resolve Su Corporation's crisis in this matter, and needless to say, the value of saving her in the midst of danger was immense.

Moreover, the method used to resolve it would most likely be Dragon King Hall taking action.

Another mysterious veil would be draped over Lin Xiu.

This was probably also the beginning of Su Ling's feelings for him.

Jiang Junyi's eyes darkened slightly. It was practically killing several birds with one stone.

So how could he operate from within this...

He felt somewhat anxious. Just from this file alone, it was clear that this Night Crow should have something to it.

Unlike the file from when he first learned about Dragon King Hall, this one even used figurative language.

In other words, judging from the current situation, Night Crow's leader should be stronger than Lin Xiu.

After all, he had a record to his name.

Jiang Junyi only felt that his thoughts were in utter chaos.

Suddenly, a pair of cool little hands touched his cheeks and gently turned his head around.

"What is it?" Wan Qingyun said softly.

She could sense that Jiang Junyi seemed to be troubled by something. In just a few short minutes, she had already heard several faint sighs and slightly heavy breaths.

Wan Qingyun touched Jiang Junyi's forehead and smoothed out his tightly knitted brows. "Think it through slowly. Don't rush."

She knew that if even he found something difficult, then with her current self, she most likely would not be able to help much.

But even so, Wan Qingyun still wanted to share some of his burden, even if it was only soothing Jiang Junyi's heart.

Jiang Junyi looked at the gentle Wan Qingyun, and the restlessness in his heart gradually calmed.

He held Wan Qingyun's hand. "Good thing you're here."

"Is that so? Then that's wonderful," Wan Qingyun said softly.

Jiang Junyi's eyes gradually cleared, and some ideas had already formed in his mind.

"Haha, my Qingyun really is my lucky star~"

Jiang Junyi gave Wan Qingyun a loud peck, making her face flush crimson.

"What do you think? What if I ask the Su Family to hold the banquet five days from now?"

Wan Qingyun was slightly taken aback. "That soon?"

"Time waits for no one..."

Jiang Junyi glanced out the window. Dark clouds were gradually gathering.

After thinking for a while, Wan Qingyun replied, "I think it can work. Moving up the timing lets us seize more of the right to speak, and our profits can at least double."

"Exactly." Jiang Junyi snapped his fingers.

Of course, that point was secondary. The important thing was that he could not let Dragon King Hall and Night Crow establish contact.

Even if they would one day make contact, it could not happen this quickly.

Jiang Junyi took out his phone and dialed Uncle Wu's number. "Uncle Wu, notify the Su Family. The banquet will be held five days from now. Be firm."

Only one curt, forceful answer came from the other end of the phone. "Yes!"

Meanwhile, at Star Luo Orphanage.

"Seriously? How can there be someone that awful?"

Liang Qiqi looked shocked, while her hands seemed to still be fiddling with something.

Su Ling's cheeks were flushed as she sighed helplessly. "It's absolutely true, girl! They dropped the ball at the critical moment! I'm so mad!"

She had a hand stretched out, and it seemed to be the very thing Liang Qiqi was working on.

Liang Qiqi held a tool in her hand and rubbed it over Su Ling's nails. "Where exactly did this happen?"

Su Ling thought for a moment. "The border of Country M, I think... I've already sent people to investigate."

"We absolutely have to get to the bottom of it, or the losses will be huge!" Liang Qiqi said with deep sympathy. "Sis, do you think this color works?"

"Mm, I really like this color." Su Ling sighed. "Yeah. Sigh, the main thing is that I'm all alone with no one to help me."

"How could that be? You're so pretty and outstanding, sis. How could you not have a boyfriend?" Liang Qiqi asked curiously.

"I have a fiancé, but he's always just all talk and hasn't gotten a single thing done." Thinking of Lin Xiu, Su Ling sighed again. "Make the color a little fuller."

"Got it." Liang Qiqi answered, "Someone like that can actually become your fiancé?"

"It was arranged by the elders. I don't have a choice either. But he does have some skill, and he volunteered to go for this matter too." Worry appeared on Su Ling's face. "Actually, I didn't want him to go, but I really have too much on my plate."

"Mm-hmm. Just hearing you talk about it sounds exhausting, sis."

"You know, there are actually a lot of parasites inside the Su Family!"

"Huh? Do elaborate..."

Here, Liang Qiqi did Su Ling's manicure while extracting information.

On the other side, Wang Hao and Virgo were hunched over the desk, frantically transcribing everything without missing a single word!

"I never thought it would be completed in this way." Virgo's pen did not stop, and she did not even lift her head as she spoke.

Wang Hao was also writing furiously. "I really can't understand how women think."

"Tsk."

"Crack."

The ballpoint pen in Virgo's hand suddenly snapped into two.

"Women other than you." Wang Hao glanced at the broken ballpoint pen and said without changing expression.

After a while, Su Ling was admiring her manicure. "Little sis, you did such a good job!"

"Of course! Seeing how pretty you are, sis, I gave it my all!" Liang Qiqi said with a smile.

"Thanks for your hard work~"

"No problem~"

Just then, Su Ling's phone rang.

After answering it, her bright, sunny expression instantly changed. "What?! Okay, I'll head over right away."

Su Ling glanced at Liang Qiqi. "Thank you all. I'll be going first."

After thanking them, she hurried away.

Virgo, Wang Hao, Feng Liuliu, and Liang Qiqi gathered together and watched Su Ling's retreating figure thoughtfully.

"I never thought manicures had this kind of function." Virgo had truly had her eyes opened.

"Hmph, hmph. No woman can hold out in front of it!" Liang Qiqi put her hands on her hips, looking extremely pleased with herself.

Wang Hao made that expression without feeling anything about it, simply because he felt it helped him fit in.

"It looks like the Su Family's crisis this time is very serious..." Feng Liuliu pushed up his glasses.

Young Master, you must have already started making your move, right?
