Chapter 693: Jiang Taigong Fishing
The assassins found the decoy target, engaged in a brief gunfight with the decoy’s entourage, then killed several people, including the decoy, before heading directly to Sato Miyabi’s room with clear intent.Akiyama Shoichi went to great lengths to frame others for mistakenly killing Sato Miyabi, creating the perfect cover.
"Bang bang bang!" A barrage of gunfire thundered, and amidst the flying shell casings, the door to Sato Miyabi’s room was riddled with bullets.
Inside the room, four bodyguards risked their lives to protect Sato Miyabi, one of whom was shot dead on the spot.
"Protect Miss!" the remaining three bodyguards shouted chaotically, holding pistols as they launched a counterattack.
In terms of firepower, Sato Miyabi’s bodyguards were no match for the prepared assassins and were on a completely different level. Under the barrage of bullets, Sato Miyabi and the others scrambled to avoid them, panicking and screaming.
In less than a minute, all of Sato Miyabi’s bodyguards were dead.
The assassins flooded into the chaotic room. Sato Miyabi, pale-faced, looked at the fierce-eyed assassins and felt utter despair.
"Miss Sato, let me send you on your final journey," an assassin mocked.
Sato Miyabi suppressed her panic and said tremblingly, "Don’t kill me. I can give you a large sum of money, enough for you to live a carefree life. Rather than killing me and provoking the Sato Family, you might as well earn some favor from my family. Even if you kill me, you’ll have crossed the Sato Family’s line, and it won’t end well for you."
Sato Miyabi combined threats and enticements, offering generous terms to soften the assassins and save her life.
She now realized that as her bodyguards had said, these assassins appeared to target other individuals, but in reality, it was all a cover; their true objective was to kill her.
Understanding this, she tried every means possible to make the assassins abandon their intent to kill. Any price was worth paying, and once she had the chance to catch a breath, retaliation to cleanse this humiliation was definitely feasible.
"Miss Sato, abandon any illusions you have. You must die," the assassin sneered, "Honestly, your offer is incredibly tempting, but in our line of work, we have to follow the rules, or we’ll meet a miserable end."
Instantly, Sato Miyabi fell into the depths of despair, her gaze dimming to lifelessness.
The assassin aimed his gun at Sato Miyabi’s head, saying solemnly, "Die now!"
At that critical moment when Sato Miyabi was about to face death, a burst of dense gunfire suddenly erupted outside the room.
"Da-da-da!" Amidst the flying bullets, Qiu Wen’s figure flickered a few times, then she snapped the assassin’s neck.
If time could rewind a few seconds, one would see Qiu Wen subdue two assassins without killing them as Ye Fan had reminded. When Sato Miyabi was in despair, Qiu Wen released the two assassins. In their confusion and panic, they opened fire, and Qiu Wen naturally took the opportunity to eliminate them.
After accomplishing this, Qiu Wen, seemingly to avoid the next wave of danger, reluctantly fled to Sato Miyabi’s room.
"Baka, who are you?" an assassin blurted in perplexity, staring at Qiu Wen with infinite suspicion.
Sato Miyabi, too, looked at Qiu Wen with her deadened gaze, full of confusion.
"Kill her," the lead assassin issued the order.
Immediately, several assassins opened fire without hesitation, breathing fire from their guns.
The scene of killing Sato Miyabi must not be leaked. Everyone who witnessed it had to die. If the information got out, their plan would have holes, which was not an outcome they wanted.
If the mission failed, their fate would be grim, facing extermination by the Akiyama Family, and the revenge of the Sato Family. They might find themselves with nowhere to hide.
In this moment, the assassins displayed ruthless decisiveness, their well-trained instincts kicking in without overthinking, to execute their lethal intent.
With bullets flying, Qiu Wen moved like a phantom.
"Crack!" Two successive bone-breaking sounds echoed, and two assassins died in terror.
"What?"
"How is it possible?"
"Her speed, how can it be as elusive as a ghost?"
The remaining assassins’ minds exploded in shock as they stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Simultaneously, they quickly moved their gun barrels, aiming at Qiu Wen’s location.
"Da-da-da!!!" A dense flood of bullets surged, ravaging the room into ruin.
"Ah..." After several screams, all the assassins lay dead, eyes wide open in death.
The room fell silent, a deathly quiet.
The clarity of Sato Miyabi’s heartbeat was overwhelmingly apparent, audible in the stillness.
More exaggeratedly, Sato Miyabi, like a dumbfounded fool, stared speechlessly at Qiu Wen, lost in confusion.
"A few insignificant ants dare to kill indiscriminately and disturb our enjoyment. A flick of a finger can end you," Qiu Wen said, clapping her hands, looking at the corpses on the ground with disdain.
Of course, her words were meant for Sato Miyabi.
Throughout the ordeal, Qiu Wen barely glanced at Sato Miyabi. After killing the assassins, she casually took a look at Sato Miyabi and then stepped towards the door.
"Benefactor, please stay," Sato Miyabi called urgently, coming to her senses and attempting to retain her.
She quickly moved her body, jogging towards Qiu Wen.
She saw that Qiu Wen was Huaxian, so she spoke in a clumsy Mandarin.
Huaxia’s language has deep and extensive influence. Given Japan’s cultural ties to Huaxia, familiarity with the language was natural. Few at Sato Miyabi’s level wouldn’t speak Mandarin.
"I knew you’d take the bait," Qiu Wen smiled prettily, then turned her head earnestly, asking Sato Miyabi, "What is it?"
"Thank you for saving my life. May I know your name so I can express my gratitude? I hope you can give me a chance to repay you," Sato Miyabi earnestly requested, hurriedly explaining, "I’m from the Sato Family. Half of Wanpu Company is owned by my family. To express my thanks, I am willing to extend the hospitality of the host. I hope you will accept."
Sato Miyabi was worried that Qiu Wen might not know the Sato Family, so she mentioned Wanpu Company.
Wanpu Company is well-known not just in Japan, but also throughout Southeast Asia. Sato Miyabi was convinced Qiu Wen had heard of it.
"No need, I had no intention of saving you. I couldn’t care less about your life or death. Blame the assassins for offending us; otherwise, I wouldn’t have acted against them," Qiu Wen said nonchalantly, turning her body to leave directly.
