Chapter 046 Where is the Lair?
When Shen Yi opened his eyes again, the sky outside the window was already turning white, and the dazzling light made him subconsciously squint.
The familiar ceiling, the familiar atmosphere.
He is still at Su Qiu's house.
The spot beside him was already cold and empty.
Shen Yi slowly sat up, the soreness in his body reminding him of everything that had happened last night.
He pulled the blanket over himself, a complex emotion flashing across his eyes before turning into a low sneer.
I think I understand now.
She would never be absent whenever Su Qiu wanted her.
But once satisfied, he would disappear without a trace, like this, pulling up his pants and leaving him alone to face the mess.
It's not exactly a game over.
She will handle it cleanly.
All that's left is aches and pains, and a trail of ambiguous memories.
He raised his hand to press his throbbing temples, his throat feeling a little dry.
There was a glass of warm water on the bedside table, probably poured by Su Qiu before she left.
Shen Yi stared at the glass of water for a moment, but ultimately didn't touch it.
He threw off the covers and got out of bed, his steps still a little unsteady, and walked to the window to pull back the curtains.
The cool morning breeze swept in, dispelling some of my confused thoughts.
He looked down at the empty streets, feeling a vague and inexplicable sense of unease.
Like dust stirred up by the wind, it lingers for a long time.
This woman is as unpredictable and infuriating as ever.
He simply picked up the phone and called Su Qiu.
No one answered.
Shen Yi was so angry that he wanted to smash his phone, but smashing the phone would prevent him from contacting Lin Wei quickly.
He held back, then cursed, "You damned woman!"
……
At this moment, Su Qiu was still dealing with the people chasing her.
"Damn it, this is never going to end." Su Qiu cleanly and neatly snapped the man's neck.
Seeing this, the others realized they had encountered some kind of monster, and even though they were stabbed, they didn't utter a sound.
They can even turn the tables on them.
Although they were paid to do things, they wouldn't risk their lives for money.
Finally, they all retreated.
Su Qiu tossed the corpse aside like trash. "Not going to continue?"
For every step Su Qiu took forward, she took several steps back.
Xiao Xitian: "Host, these are all people arranged by Chen Liping. We don't know their specific origins. It's not mentioned in the storyline, so we can only rely on ourselves."
Su Qiu looked at the three survivors, her tone cold and forceful, "If you want to live, answer my questions, otherwise..."
Finally, a two-word warning and threat.
The three of them felt a chill run down their spines and exchanged bewildered glances.
A man with a scar on his face mustered his courage and spoke, his voice trembling with the shock of surviving a near-death experience:
"Everyone in the organization says you're ruthless; none of the people who came before survived. How...how could you let us go?"
Su Qiu raised a cold eyebrow, toying with a small dagger between her fingers, its blade gleaming coldly in the dim light.
That's because they won't beg for mercy.
The three of them were stunned, their faces full of astonishment.
So this is the key to survival?
Su Qiu withdrew her gaze, her tone indifferent: "Have you thought it through? I'll give you three seconds to consider."
"one……"
As soon as she finished speaking, the three of them were on tenterhooks.
"two……"
"What do you want to ask? We'll tell you!"
The scarred man immediately spoke up, prioritizing his own life and disregarding any organizational rules.
When they received the order, they saw that the assassination target was Su Qiu.
More than a dozen people died but they still couldn't kill this person.
They either have a powerful background or unexpected methods.
Now they know.
He's a complete madman; you can't kill him. He's even more ruthless than those assassins.
Su Qiu's lips curled into a faint smile: "Where is your hideout?"
The three of them were taken aback again, and looked at each other in bewilderment.
They thought she would ask who sent them to kill her, so why did she ask about the hideout directly?
Isn't this line of thinking too unconventional?
"Host, what are you going to do?" Xiao Xitian's puzzled voice echoed in my mind.
Su Qiu ignored the system, focusing only on the three people on the ground, and stated in a flat tone:
"Tell me, and I'll destroy your hideout, and you'll have a chance to live; don't talk, and you'll die right now."
Even if I manage to escape back, I'll still be dead once I find you.
The choice is yours to make.
The three of them felt a chill run down their spines, and looked at Su Qiu as if she were a madwoman.
Who would be hunted down and instead of trying to find the mastermind behind it, would be thinking about destroying the enemy's hideout first?
Are they sure they didn't kill a mentally ill person?
"one……"
Su Qiu started counting again.
"In the crescent-shaped fishing village outside the southern border!" The scarred man reacted even faster this time, quickly giving the location in his speech.
"There are probably about a hundred people inside, many of them are highly skilled fighters with blood on their hands, and...and a few who know some unorthodox methods!"
Su Qiu nodded in satisfaction, took out three Black Wolf business cards from his pocket, and threw them in front of them:
"I'll have someone transfer some money to you; use that to contact him."
She paused, her tone devoid of emotion, and said, "I wish you all a fresh start and to become better people."
After saying that, she turned and left, the hem of her black trench coat sweeping across the ground, leaving behind a chilling aura.
The three remained prone on the ground until the figure completely disappeared at the alley entrance.
He stared blankly at the business card on the ground, unable to come to his senses for a long time.
"She...she's really gone?" one of them asked stammeringly, his voice filled with disbelief.
The scarred man swallowed hard, touched his still-aching arm, and said with lingering fear:
"Judging from this... is he really gone?"
This development was far beyond their expectations.
Getting a sum of money for free and still being able to live a normal life?!
……
Xiao Xitian stopped Su Qiu's bleeding, "Host, you're not going to raid their base, are you?"
Su Qiu said, "The source of the assassin is unclear. It was arranged by Chen Liping. Chen Liping must have inhuman methods. Let's eradicate her completely."
Xiao Xitian gave a thumbs up, "Looking for death, Sister."
Su Qiu: "..."
"The enemy has a hundred men, most of whom are high-level assassins. Host, you've been too optimistic."
Su Qiu: "What do you know? With one swing of the scythe, at least five or six will die."
Little Western Paradise: "..."
It almost forgot that when this host went berserk, he could single-handedly take on a horde of zombies and kill with great excitement.
Right.
How mentally sound can someone who dares to ingest dichlorvos be?
"Then don't die. If you die before the mission is completed, we won't have a chance to be resurrected."
Su Qiu smiled confidently, "Don't worry, I'll take it easy. At most, I'll break an arm or something."
Xiao Xitian: "Don't scare the little villain away. Besides the recent buzz about you being the boss of Qiu Yi Group, there's also the fact that the little villain is helping the female lead."
