Ye Wanwan quietly put away the treasure.

"These next few days, you'd be better staying at home and refraining from going outside. I'll mobilize some people to guard the perimeters of your place," Yi Lingjun added.

"Mm, understood." Ye Wanwan nodded.

In reality, now that she possessed this treasure… what manpower did she need?

After leaving the Yi residence, Ye Wanwan returned to her residence and stayed home for a whole three days.

In these three days though, the man didn't appear.

Ye Wanwan couldn't help but snort. He declared he would strip away her life within three days, but there wasn't a trace of him.

…

About a week later:

It was late at night again when an odd noise rang out in the house.

Ye Wanwan frowned deeply. This time, she learned her lesson and quietly flipped on the lights in her bedroom first.

However, just like last time, the circuits might've been cut and the light didn't turn on.

Ye Wanwan loaded the bullets and slowly treaded out of her bedroom.

"Heh, Miss Yi, my sincerest apologies. I had business the past couple of days, so I was delayed. I didn't make Miss Yi wait too long, right?" The man's voice came from the usual place.

"No worries. I'm very curious though: Who sent you to kill me?" Ye Wanwan asked.

"Miss Yi, everything regarding our employers is confidential," the man replied in good humor.

"Is that so?" Ye Wanwan's lips curled up as she pointed the dark end of the gun toward the man. "What if I ask you now? Is it still confidential?"

With the faint moonlight outside, the man saw the gun in Ye Wanwan's hand.

"You're the daughter of the Arbitration Council's president, yet you break the rules and use firearms?!" The man furrowed his brows.

"Heh, break the rules… That'd require someone to find out first, no?" As Ye Wanwan spoke, she put on the gun's silencer. "Look, my place has decent soundproofing already, and when I add this, no will notice. No one will know you died. No one will know how you died."

"Since you won't say, I don't want to know. Goodbye."

Ye Wanwan's lips curled up, and she gently pulled the trigger.

However, a second later, there wasn't a decibel of noise.

"D*mn… How come there isn't any sound with this silencer?" Ye Wanwan was astonished.

"Haha, I don't think it's the silencer that's making it noiseless, Miss Yi. I wager you don't have any bullets inside your gun." The man's voice was still present.

Ye Wanwan's brows locked together and she opened the magazine and indeed, the bullets she loaded earlier had disappeared without a trace.

Where were her bullets?!

"Miss Yi, are these yours?" The man extended his hand and carelessly tossed some bullets onto the floor.

"You… when?"

Ye Wanwan was stunned. This man stole her bullets?!

"Heh, Miss Wanwan, you might be overly underestimating my strength." The man shook his head and reached into his pockets, also drawing out a gun. The black end pointed precisely at Ye Wanwan.

Evidently, this man also didn't care about the rules. Thankfully, she wore a bulletproof vest… As long as she didn't get hit in the head, she would be fine…

"Alright, Miss Yi, everything will end now. May I ask what final words you have to say?" the man asked.

Before Ye Wanwan could respond, a ringtone resounded in the room.

The man looked apologetically at Ye Wanwan. "Miss Yi, please wait a moment. I will take this call first."

He then ignored Ye Wanwan and took out his phone.

"Nameless Nie, is there something wrong with your head… Don't you know I'm carrying out a mission? Why are you calling me?"

The man sounded disgruntled.
