Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg-Chapter 850: Beating Up the Assassin

Although the poison didn’t act immediately, the assassin still felt unwell. Fortunately, he wore gloves, so the poison didn’t directly touch his skin; otherwise, it wouldn’t just be discomfort.

Damn it!

The assassin cursed under his breath. For years, he had never failed on the job. He hadn’t expected to fall into the hands of a woman.

No matter, even if he fell, he still had to complete the mission first. Luckily, he had a good physique and could hold on for an hour or two.

Moreover, he also realized he had been ambushed, quite possibly poisoned. The fastest way to detoxify was naturally to find the person responsible for the poisoning.

So today, he must see Jiang Xue no matter what, preferably to take the antidote from her and to kill her.

The assassin’s plan seemed fine, but he didn’t know it would fall through. Because at that time, Mu Qiancheng and Jiang Xue were just outside the door. If he left now, he might still make it. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

However, the assassin underestimated Jiang Xue, thinking she was just a woman, and one from the countryside at that; how capable could she be?

The assassin walked toward the door, and Mu Qiancheng was about to open it when Jiang Xue stopped him. The Little Fox had informed her that the assassin was heading toward the door.

Mu Qiancheng trusted Jiang Xue completely. She told him not to open the door, so he stopped and stood guard with Jiang Xue on either side of the door.

Soon, Mu Qiancheng heard footsteps, and his gaze toward his little wife became sharper. As a member of the special forces, he had always had keen hearing. But he was still far behind his little wife.

It was clear that his little wife had heard footsteps, which was why she asked him not to open the door.

This was undoubtedly a beautiful misunderstanding. Jiang Xue knew the assassin was coming thanks to the Little Fox, but Mu Qiancheng didn’t know; he thought Jiang Xue had good hearing.

The assassin, feeling unwell, did not pay much attention outside. Also, he was too overconfident. So he opened the door directly, unaware that Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng were already waiting for him outside.

As the door opened, Mu Qiancheng’s fist shot out. The gust of wind startled the assassin, who tilted his head to try to avoid it.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xue was waiting on the other side and sent a punch straight over, her Spiritual Power-infused fist landing hard on the assassin’s face, making him cry out in pain.

The hit to the face cleared the assassin’s mind considerably. He quickly retreated to the room and then ran toward the window.

Seeing the assassin trying to escape, Mu Qiancheng and Jiang Xue wouldn’t let him succeed. They lifted their feet and chased him. However, the assassin was fairly fast and quickly reached the window, preparing to climb out.

However, Mu Qiancheng’s speed was not slow either. He caught up when the assassin was about to climb onto the window sill and directly grabbed him.

The assassin realized then he was doomed; once pulled down, he would have only one path: death. Thus, he drew a silenced pistol from his body and aimed at Mu Qiancheng.

Even in the dark night, Mu Qiancheng saw the gun in the opponent’s hand. His expression changed, and considering Jiang Xue was behind him, he warned: "Xue’er, be careful, he has a gun."

While alerting Jiang Xue, Mu Qiancheng raised his foot, intending to kick the gun out of the opponent’s hands. The assassin had anticipated this and shifted his body, aiming the gun at Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue was his ultimate target.
