349 Failed
In addition, calling the police would only bring trouble to the assassin organization backing them. Even if they died, the organization would retaliate against their families.
“This mission has failed,” the assassin muttered despairingly to himself as he sat dejectedly on the steps.
After a while, the area below the residential area returned to its usual calm.
Bai Hong had killed the leader of the group, but he had only knocked out the other four. He did not kill them.
According to his previous habits, he would definitely have killed them all. However, he was Chu Ning’s subordinate now. Such an action would not be approved by Chu Ning and might even cause her a lot of trouble.
However, their boss had to die. Only then would it be more effective in intimidating the remaining four and breaking their will to fight.
“There’s another one upstairs.” Bai Hong glanced at the five men lying on the ground before he entered the building.
When he reached the fifth floor, Bai Hong saw the lucky assassin sitting on the stairs with an ashen face. The fear in his eyes at his arrival almost made him scream out loud, not caring about his image.
“Being afraid of death will not make you an excellent killer.” Bai Hong smiled. He made his way toward the assassin and sat down on the stairs next to him.
“No… No, don’t kill me. I didn’t do anything. He’s still alive and well in the room,” the assassin said in a trembling voice.
He didn’t know that his four companions were still alive. He only saw that his companions were all soundlessly lying on the ground and thought that they had all been killed by this ordinary-looking man with a demonic smile.
“It’s your bad luck to have met me,” Bai Hong rued.
He even embraced the other party’s trembling body.
This was an instinctive fear.
This assassin knew that he could not escape unless he jumped out of the window on the fifth floor.
The most torturous part was the fact that Bai Hong’s footsteps were slowly approaching. It felt hopeless, as though he was counting down to his death.
His boss had not been a match for him, and even his four companions combined were no match for him.
He was even more afraid after hearing Bai Hong’s words.
However, he did not have any thoughts of resisting.
“I don’t want to kill you, so you can still live on. Go back and tell the person backing you that the mission has failed. If they’re thinking of using this method to deal with Lu Chao again, I’ll pay them a visit personally. I’ll cut off her flesh piece by piece and stuff it into her mouth,” Bai Hong spoke softly, chuckling as he patted the assassin’s cheek.
“Move lightly when you go down. Your boss is dead. Wake the remaining four people and clean up the scene. Don’t disturb the people around or attract attention…”
Half an hour later.
Jiang Fei was home waiting for news.
She had been holding her phone tightly the entire time, not letting go for a single moment.
Finally, her phone rang.
Jiang Fei heaved a sigh of relief inside.
She knew that Lu Chao was probably crippled or dead.
Jiang Fei pressed the answer button.
However, a few minutes later, her expression turned extremely ugly.
She was a little flustered and didn’t know what to do.
The surviving assassins had cleaned up the scene and brought their boss’s body back to the organization.
After hearing the assassin’s explanation of Bai Hong’s method of attack, the leader of the organization decided not to pursue the matter any further.
After weighing the pros and cons, they were not willing to pay a huge price for an unknown possibility. Even if they gathered a large number of people, they might not be able to kill Bai Hong.
When he announced that the mission had failed, the assassin repeated Bai Hong’s words to Jiang Fei.
Jiang Fei did not know why such a terrifying person would be willing to protect Lu Chao, but it must have something to do with the two people who came to look for Lu Chao during the day.
“It’s fine. He has nothing now. He might not be my match.” Jiang Fei could only comfort herself in this way.
However, having lived with Lu Chao before, she knew how terrifying such a person could be. Even if the hope of Lu Chao’s revenge was slim, Jiang Fei did not want to live in constant fear. Bai Hong’s threat was clear. It was almost impossible to kill Lu Chao.
“I’d like to see who needs you.” After calming down, Jiang Fei felt that she had a huge advantage now and there was no need to be afraid.
