Chapter 123

"Ha, don't I know you?"

"Tell me, what changes have you noticed in that kid lately?"

"Don't tell me that kid is still there pretending to be a good boy."

Wu Xingsheng leaned back in the soft red velvet sofa.

Lately, we've been receiving more and more reports from Wu Liang.

There were so many that he didn't even have time to look at them carefully.

But one thing he had to admit was that there wasn't a single bad thing in these reports.

This means that Wu Liang has maintained that obedient child demeanor for a full week.

"Don't you know very well about the young master's affairs?"

Yao Qing picked up the glass of water on the table and took a sip.

He was very clear about Wu Xingsheng's thoughts...

Chapter 68: The Past (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets, 24/32)

"Don't you know the young master's affairs very well? Why do you need to ask me?"

Yao Qing smiled slightly; the young master had indeed changed a lot recently.

It was so big that he found it hard to accept, or perhaps he couldn't believe it.

Some even believe that this information is entirely fabricated or even false.

Although she was initially skeptical, Yao Qing quickly dismissed his doubts.

Yao Qing knew very well that all of Young Master Wu Liang's changes were real.

Whether it's the maids and bodyguards who are silently observing the young master.

Even he himself was shocked by the young master's transformation.

"Of course I will keep an eye on him. Even if he is a good-for-nothing, he is still my son."

"I'm not so cold-blooded as to not care about my own son at all."

Wu Xingsheng said nonchalantly, massaging his temples.

He naturally noticed Wu Liang's changes, but he thought it was just a little trick Wu Liang was playing.

At first, he thought that Wu Liang was just trying to get his attention.

But judging from the current situation, Wu Liang's actions have clearly exceeded his expectations.

"Aren't you cold-blooded? You know perfectly well that the young master's attack was no accident, yet you still stood by and did nothing."

"When I wanted to take action, you deliberately stopped me. How can you say you care about your own son?"

Yao Qing suddenly chuckled. This person really dares to say that.

Wu Xingsheng should know best why Young Master Wu Liang was attacked, yet he's pretending to be clueless.

Not only did they not tell the young master the truth, but they even kept it from Mu Xinrou.

I really don't know what this father was thinking. Would he only be satisfied if his son was smashed to death?

"Yao Qing, Wu Liang has indeed changed a lot, which has surprised me greatly."

"I thought he was still that good-for-nothing who didn't know anything, but his current performance clearly shows that I misjudged him."

Wu Xingsheng lay on his side on the sofa with his legs propped up on the armrest.

He had seen all of Wu Liang's recent performance.

Since waking up in the hospital, a series of events have occurred until today.

He was particularly shocked by what happened at the Imperial Moon Academy.

His good-for-nothing son, who did all sorts of evil, actually had that side to him.

To be honest, he can hardly believe that Wu Liang is his son.

"The young master's change should be something to be happy about."

"But this has nothing to do with those who severely injured the young master, does it?"

Yao Qing narrowed her eyes and murmured softly.

An intensely strong killing intent swept over us from behind.

Those young people really don't know what they're getting themselves into, daring to do something like this to the Wu family.

"Yao Qing, Wu Liang's change is certainly a good thing, but he hasn't grown to the point where he can stand on his own yet."

Wu Xingsheng gave Yao Qing a cold glance.

Is this kid really only 23 years old? His words and actions don't seem like those of a 23-year-old.

Instead, he seems like a cunning and ruthless old fox, giving off a sinister and vicious feeling at all times.

"You mean you want the young master to handle this himself?"

"But you should think carefully, the young master is treating this as an accident."

"Even if he senses something is amiss, I don't think the young master would take it to heart given his current personality."

Having understood Wu Xingsheng's intention, Yao Qing crossed her arms.

His scarlet eyes flashed with a dark light, a mixture of dissatisfaction and curiosity.

The young master is indeed like a completely different person now, but his personality has also undergone a tremendous change.

The young master doesn't take the shot put attack seriously at all.

They simply regarded it as an accident and had no idea that it was man-made.

If we don't intervene, what if the young master encounters an even more dangerous attack...?

"Indeed, that idiot Wu Liang clearly didn't realize the true nature of the attack."

"But you underestimate your sister too much. She is a child I personally approved."

"You should probably start to believe in Yao Shi's abilities; she's exceptionally talented."

Wu Xingsheng grinned.

That's right. Although Wu Liang didn't notice, Yao Shi had obviously figured out the truth.

Furthermore, Yao Shi and Milutin have already begun investigating the cause of that incident.

Although Yao Shi wanted to do it behind my back, her actions were still too obvious.

But there's nothing we can do about it; Yao Shi loses her composure whenever she's involved with Wu Liang.

"Of course. If my sister weren't outstanding, how could she have joined me in causing you that kind of harm?"

Yao Qing revealed a strange smile.

Her slender, delicate fingers traced across her lower abdomen before finally resting on her chest.

If it weren't for Yao Shi's help when she was young, he would never have been able to push Wu Xingsheng to that point on his own.

"How dare you say that? You two almost sent me to meet the all-powerful God back then."

Wu Xingsheng rolled his eyes at Yao Qing.

He ripped open his shirt, revealing a grotesque scar that stretched from his lower abdomen to his chest, resembling a centipede.

It was because of Yao Qing and Yao Shi that he was left with these indelible scars.

"If we succeed, we will no longer be yours."

Yao Qing seemed somewhat dejected as she spoke.

It's quite a failure that a top-tier assassin would be defeated by a man like this.

However, he had to admit that Wu Xingsheng was indeed very outstanding, so outstanding that he respected and admired him.

"However, Yao Qing, Yao Shi is indeed still..."

At this point, Wu Xingsheng glanced at Yao Qing with a complicated expression.

So many years have passed, but Yao Shi still can't forgive her when she was just a child.

"I have talked to her more than once."

"But she has clearly come to regard the assassination attempt on you as a demon in her heart."

Yao Qing felt a little guilty about this matter.

If it weren't for him, Yao Shi wouldn't have been blaming herself for so long.

"Who would have thought that the assassination target of the past would become the savior of the future?"

"Although I tried my best not to think about it, I just couldn't forget it..."

Yao Qing smiled self-deprecatingly, thankfully Wu Xingsheng hadn't died back then.

If Wu Xingsheng dies, then Yao Shi may never find redemption in her entire life.

If it really comes to that, he might never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.

Fortunately, Wu Xingsheng did not die. Instead, he later accepted the brother and sister without holding a grudge.

It was then that he realized that only Wu Xingsheng was qualified to be his true master...

Chapter 69: The Assassin's Pact (Bonus Chapter 24/32 for Monthly Tickets)

After this topic was brought up again, the atmosphere in the room became much more subdued.

This is a very heavy topic, especially for Yao Qing.

His last target in his career as an assassin was Wu Xingsheng.

That was the first time he realized that there were people in this world he couldn't kill.

And that was the first time he realized that there was someone who could instill fear in him simply by their aura.

If it weren't for Wu Xingsheng showing mercy in the end because he and Yao Shi were both children...

It's unlikely that the brother and sister could have caused Wu Xingsheng that much harm based on their mutual concessions.

Even after severely injuring Wu Xingsheng, they no longer had the strength to continue.

So their mission failed; it was the first and last time they would fail in their assassination career.

After the mission failed, he and Yao Shi were hunted down by the buyers and were driven to the brink of despair several times.

Because they failed to kill Wu Xingsheng, the buyers, fearing a leak, issued a series of arrest warrants.

The other party spared no expense in hiring a bunch of assassins to attack them, wanting to eliminate him and Yao Shi completely.

After all, for assassins, only the dead can keep secrets.

At that very moment, no one offered them any help.

No one was willing to help them; everyone saw them as a thorn in their side.

They treated the siblings like gold; the assassins had only money in their eyes and no feelings whatsoever.

The relentless escape day and night eventually exhausted the brother and sister's strength.

They had been driven to the brink of despair, and just when he and Yao Shi were so desperate that they wanted to commit suicide to find relief.

A man with bandages wrapped around his upper body, and blood still seeping from his abdomen and chest, suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.

The man's facial expressions at that moment were quite interesting.

First came surprise, then confusion, then joy, and finally relief.

This was the first time Yao Qing had ever seen someone change so many expressions and generate so many emotions in just a few seconds.

He was the assassin who almost killed the other person.
