Chapter 1001: Chapter 262: Suspected Target

Chapter 262 Suspected Target

How did the assassin know Li Yan would appear near the company at that time? This puzzled him. If he was staking out, it wouldn’t be difficult to find out Paradise Group’s work hours, no need to wait in advance.

"Well..." The assassin hesitated for a moment, "I wait there every day!"

Obviously, his lying skills were not up to par. If he had spoken without hesitation, it might have been believable, but that brief pause gave him away.

Li Yan nodded, "I feel... hitting you to death with a brick isn’t quite right. I might accidentally become a murderer. It’s better to throw you off the building instead; that way, people might think you were desperate, jumping off the corridor. Tsk tsk... Even your injuries can be disguised as fall injuries."

Upon hearing Li Yan say this, the assassin quickly understood and said helplessly, "Boss, it’s really none of my business. I said it and you might not believe it, so I had to say I wait there every day..."

He looked at Li Yan and noticed his gaze becoming stern, with a trace of an unsettling look that made him nervous. In shock, he dared not hide anything anymore, "I’ll tell! I’ll tell everything! My job these days is to be ready to assassinate you. Today I got word from Crow Boss, who told me to wait for you at that place; he said you’d appear there. Actually, when you arrived, I had only just reached there not long before. It’s true, no hidden parts!"

"You’re smart, blaming everything on an imaginary boss. If I can’t find your boss, am I not fooled by you then?"

"With things like this, do I still have the need to deceive you? I’m just a hitman, not a leader..." The assassin lamented.

"Whether you’re lying or not, we’ll know once we meet that Crow. Now I ask you, the three people with me, do you recognize them?" Li Yan tried to ask.

Since it was just recently that he received the address, that indicates someone must have revealed to Assassin Crow that he would go there! And the only person who knew he would go to that place was Sun Hui!

Of course, Li Yan’s judgment of character would not be too poor. Knowing someone for a year, if he couldn’t understand what kind of person Sun Hui was, it would make no sense. He definitely didn’t believe Sun Hui wanted to kill him; he had no motive. The two weren’t deeply bonded or soul mates but were at least very good friends or companions, no stealing his woman.

Stealing a woman! No doubt, he had been suspecting Liu Yuyang for a while now. Only Liu Yuyang fits it all; he resents Li Yan for getting Zhang Yurong; he had a luxury car wrecked by Li Yan; he once hired several boxing champions to teach Li Yan a lesson; he had tried to mock Li Yan at a hotel, but got played by Old Ten instead... He has the motive, ability, and resources to hire assassins!

Li Yan asking so many questions was just to avoid convicting someone on a mere suspicion, wanting confirmation. If confirmed that Liu Yuyang hired someone, he would immediately start his revenge!

The ones who directly knew he would go there were only Sun Hui; indirectly, Liu Yunyun and Ye Xin should know too, right?

Entered the company at the year’s end, immediately showed fondness for Sun Hui, maintained close contact during the New Year, now arranging to dine together, and the meeting place was still at the company entrance... All these seem a bit coincidental!

The assassin was a bit bewildered, "I don’t recognize those three people, I’ve only seen your photo. I intended to crash onto you just now, only that person was unlucky enough himself."

Seeing that he indeed didn’t know, Li Yan asked nothing more, lifted his foot to directly kick him unconscious.

At this moment, Li Yan had no mood to go to Huang Ying. Someone was secretly plotting. Though not a skilled assassin, posing no threat to him, he couldn’t involve people around him any longer. Sun Hui not being severely injured already was a blessing within misfortune, but still a great alert for Li Yan, requiring someone to pay the price!

He didn’t rush to the hospital to visit Sun Hui either. He wasn’t a doctor, even if he went, could do nothing to help; solving the problem’s root cause was what he needed to do now!

Li Yan took out his phone and dialed a number. Ten minutes later, Xie Xuanji, a logistics staff member who longed for action, arrived at the scene.

"This person isn’t dead yet, wake him up, and take him to find someone. A possible local unranked hitman organization ’Crow’ boss."

"Yes! Kill that Crow?" Xie Xuanji didn’t blink an eye, seeming eager to kill.

"Not directly kill, someone used them to trouble me. What you need to do is make them talk, disclose the employer’s information. Everything!"

Xie Xuanji’s excitement immediately turned solemn, his gaze filled with chilling light. Damn it! Too short-sighted! An unranked assassin organization dared to trouble ’their’ organization leader, Assassin Mythology King! Such matters shouldn’t have needed King to personally resolve; he felt deeply ashamed for being in the same place and decided to clean up those Crows thoroughly!

Though ordering a subordinate to handle such minor tasks is rightful, before leaving, Li Yan still asked with concern, "Has Queen arranged any action tasks for you?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Xuanji became excited again, knowing King appeared now and then, being the only lucky one to meet; usually assignments were given by Queen. And if he could receive tasks depended on King saying a word to Queen.

"Thanks to King! Queen assigned me a task once, I completed it successfully, and am eagerly prepared, waiting for the next mission!"

"Keep it up!" Looking at the young man full of excitement about Future, Li Yan sighed inwardly, one day, he too will grow tired!

...

After arranging for Xie Xuanji to handle it, Li Yan left there, driving to the nearby hospital. Though they had driven away in pursuit for some distance, overall they weren’t far from Heaven Group Headquarters. Sun Hui’s injury was likely treated at the closest hospital. On the way, he called Sun Hui, a girl answered, probably Liu Yunyun, telling him which hospital.

Upon arriving at the hospital, finding them, he noticed a company security guard stayed behind; Sun Hui being a single person required a man’s support and lift. The guard explained the situation to Li Yan, stating they had just arrived, hadn’t processed hospitalization yet, nor began checks.

Li Yan also paid attention to Liu Yunyun and Ye Xin’s reactions. Initially, they helped push the cart and lend support, and after checks, when arranged into the ward. Ye Xin showed a bit of impatience; she originally accompanied Liu Yunyun, not knowing Sun Hui, disrupting meal time.

Once settled, Li Yan let them leave, remaining alone in the ward with Sun Hui.

Regarding Sun Hui’s injuries, Li Yan also checked them, but given different physical conditions, since he was at the hospital, he was best to receive hospital treatment; Li Yan said nothing more. Meanwhile, the hospital, aiming to better understand the injury, avoiding risk liabilities, only performed simple care, awaiting X-ray results for proper diagnosis.

"Random misfortune!" Sun Hui chuckled, "Encountering this right at the year’s start, this year might not be very lucky."

Li Yan couldn’t tell him he got involved, could only comfort, "Think that being hit by a car but only having a broken leg, or maybe no fracture, surviving an ordeal must bring fortune! For instance, Liu Yunyun who you fancy, might frequently come to care for you, ending up together amid care."

Sun Hui couldn’t help but laugh, "How could it be that easy? I just saw, both of them didn’t think much to stay here longer. Just after the injury, it’s already like this, still hope for frequent visits later? You’re right, today’s girls are more scheming. But it doesn’t matter, I invested nothing either."

"That’s good..." Li Yan’s words had another layer of meaning. If Liu Yunyun indeed had something to do with Liu Yuyang and played any role today, Sun Hui liking her would hinder Li Yan’s action.

"Right, this is for you, the hospitalization fee is your advance; retrieve your cash, the password is..." Sun Hui fumbled for his wallet, took out a card, tossing it to Li Yan.

"Aren’t you hitting me?" Li Yan interrupted, tossed the card back, "If not for waiting for me, you would’ve left sooner. If not for talking with me just arrived, you wouldn’t run to the roadside. Don’t argue, I will cover this money first. You need not worry, I won’t suffer. I found the guy, beat him up, he’s gathering money now, delivering cash back later."

"Really?" Sun Hui was somewhat skeptical.

"Haha, this also compensates you, don’t worry I’ll embezzle yours! Anyway, you definitely won’t have to foot the medical bill, I’ll have some people give that guy another beat down, he’ll surely compensate you!" Li Yan couldn’t disclose anything, nor show the supposed assassin to Sun Hui, but couldn’t let him suffer, nor pay money.

"Alright! Of course, I believe you; I trust you have the ability to deal with that guy. Sigh... thinking of being hospitalized for some time, unable to save lonely ladies, my heart aches like a knife." Sun Hui was optimistic enough, accepting treatment since things were like this.

"Hehe, if you think from another angle, don’t you have a chance to save lonely nurse ladies?"

"Come on! You dirty fellow, I didn’t think of it, but you did! Did you spot a pretty nurse just now?"

The two laughed and chatted together, Li Yan’s phone rang, Xie Xuanji had news. (To be continued, to know what happens next, visit www.qidian.com, with more Chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
