Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan were safe and sound which made Sui Yuejin shocked and angry! According to the news from his spy in Song Jiang, the two people were doing well. They not only did a large-scale search to arrest the company personnel who embezzled money but also frequently cooperated with the police to solve the case.

As these two people were living well, Sui Yuejin was troubled. In the face of Tian Long’s questioning, it seemed as though he did not issue someone to a.s.sa.s.sinate them. However, Sui Yuejin had indeed entrusted the world-cla.s.s a.s.sa.s.sin group, the b.u.t.terfly a.s.sa.s.sin Group, to undertake this mission. As for why Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan were not dead yet, Sui Yuejin couldn’t understand it.

Sui Yuejin logged into the a.s.sa.s.sin mission platform and checked the mission that he posted. The mission status displayed that it was accepted by the b.u.t.terfly a.s.sa.s.sin Group and that the mission was still in progress!

However, how many days had pa.s.sed, but there was still no news? In fact, the b.u.t.terfly a.s.sa.s.sin Group was the world’s most famous and efficient a.s.sa.s.sin group. How could a mission be dragged on for so many days and yet not be implemented?

Could it be that my mission was overlooked because there were too many missions?

Sui Yuejin felt that this was possible!

After all, an a.s.sa.s.sin group gets a lot of missions every day. My mission is not a great mission, so it may be ignored.

But what should I do if they ignore it?

Although there was a reminder b.u.t.ton on the website, Sui Yuejin had already rushed them when Tian Long called, and there was no reaction at all.

Sui Yuejin couldn’t help with it. He had to start looking for the contact information of the b.u.t.terfly a.s.sa.s.sin Group on the website. It took a lot of effort to find a phone number finally. Sui Yuejin didn’t think much and picked up the desk phone on the table to contact the b.u.t.terfly a.s.sa.s.sin Group.

Since his mobile phone could not make international calls, only the desk phone on the table could be connected, so Sui Yuejin used the desk phone on the table. It was not long before the phone call was connected. However, the other party was speaking English, so Sui Yuejin did not understand a word.

Sui Yuejin quickly called his secretary and asked him to answer the phone. Sui Yuejin’s secretary had a master’s degree and was employed at a high salary. The secretary was fluent in three international languages.

“President Sui, this is the telephone voice message. It wants us to choose. Press 1 for the mission query, press 2 for mission reminder, press 3 for leaving a message, press 0 for customer service!” The secretary listened to the voice on the phone for a while, then translated it to Sui Yuejin.

“Press 0, we will have customer service.” Sui Yuejin informed after he listened.

“Okay, President Sui.” The secretary responded, then pressed the 0 b.u.t.ton, and it went to customer service.

“Tell me exactly what they said,” said Sui Yuejin.

After a while, the secretary said, “President Sui, the other person asked how can we serve you?”

“You ask him, why has the mission I submitted not been implemented yet?” Sui Yuejin said. This secretary was also Sui Yuejin’s confidant. After following Sui Yuejin for a few years, he also knew what Sui Yuejin did, so Sui Yuejin did not hide anything from him.

According to Sui Yuejin’s intention, the secretary translated it and spoke to the phone. After listening to the other party’s answer, the secretary said to Sui Yuejin, “President Sui, he asked you to provide the identification number for the mission.”

“The identification number is ZXCDFW2009x.x.xx.x.xX…” Sui Yuejin opened his notebook and pointed out the number to the secretary.

The secretary nodded and reported the number to the other party. After a while, he relayed the other party’s words to Sui Yuejin, “President Sui, they said they are checking. Then, he will give us an answer. Please leave our contact information.”

“Okay, you can leave the office number for them!” said Sui Yuejin directly.

The secretary reported the phone number to the other party. He heard the other party’s confirmation and hung up the phone. He said to Sui Yuejin, “President Sui, they said they would contact us after checking it up.”

Sui Yuejin nodded and waved to the secretary, indicating that he could go out.

Tombstone had given orders a long time ago. It was necessary to check the clients of w.a.n.g Kejin’s two missions thoroughly, but because the platform was confidential, it could not be carefully checked. However, for the client who wanted to a.s.sa.s.sinate Yang Ming, he got an unexpected clue!

A veteran broker in the a.s.sa.s.sin industry contacted the b.u.t.terfly a.s.sa.s.sin Group on the mission of a.s.sa.s.sinating Yang Ming. According to him, it was commissioned by a friend in the industry. This was a very valuable clue. When Tombstone was informed, he immediately asked his followers to follow up, contact the old broker, and find out who the client was. However, because the client was also a spy, he could only be contacted by email. Tombstone could only wait for his reply.

As for the a.s.sa.s.sination of Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan, there were no clues. The a.s.sa.s.sination mission platform was completely anonymous, and there were no clues on it.

So this matter could only be put on hold. Since Tombstone was now performing a mission outside, the actual person in charge of the a.s.sa.s.sin group was Tsunami, a disciple of Tombstone.

The efficiency of the b.u.t.terfly a.s.sa.s.sin Group was still very high. Sui Yuejin’s problem just came into being, and it entered the query process. However, once it was checked, it was discovered that the mission was suspended.

There was no actual reason for the suspension in the database. However, to suspend a mission, it was necessary to have the highest person in charge of the organization to agree before it could be suspended. Other people did not have this permission, so this mission could only be responded to by Tsunami.

“Master’s Junior Tsunami, the identification number is ZXCDFW2009x.x.xx.x.xX… The client just called to ask why this task was not executed yet. I found in the database that this task was suspended…” asked the b.u.t.terfly Family’s disciple.

“

Oh

?” Tsunami put down the affairs in his hands. His face changed slightly, and he became a little excited! The only two missions that he recently suspended were w.a.n.g Kejin’s missions. Tombstone also tasked him to pay attention to those missions, and had him find out who the clients of the missions were! However, there was no news, and it was put on hold. He did not expect the client of a mission to call. Was this not a G.o.dsend opportunity?

Tsunami thought of it and quickly inquired on the computer about the identification number that the disciple gave. It was the identification number of w.a.n.g Kejin’s mission to a.s.sa.s.sinate Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan that he suspended!

Someone had contacted the old broker on Yang Ming’s a.s.sa.s.sination contract. Since the contract of Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan’s a.s.sa.s.sination was commissioned through the a.s.sa.s.sin platform, there was no way to perform a thorough investigation. But now, someone took the initiative to send themselves to the door which gave Tsunami a pleasant surprise.

“Has he left his contact details?” asked Tsunami. For the lower-level disciples of the a.s.sa.s.sin group, Tsunami did not need to say too much about it. These matters were top secret where Tsunami naturally could not talk to them.

“They left it to us. Here it is.” The disciple handed the registration card to Tsunami.

“Okay, I got it. I will take charge of handling this matter. You should go ahead and do your own thing.” After Tsunami finished, he made a gesture to indicate that the disciple could leave.

“Yes, Master’s Junior Tsunami.” The disciples bowed and left Tsunami’s office respectfully.

After the disciple left, Tsunami picked up the phone and dialed Tombstone’s phone number. After the phone rang twice, it was answered.

“h.e.l.lo?” Tombstone’s voice came from the phone.

“Elder brother, this is Tsunami.” Tsunami said, “I found the client who issued the a.s.sa.s.sination of Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan!”

“What!? Found it so soon?” Tombstone was shocked when he heard Tsunami. He also knew the process of the a.s.sa.s.sin platform. They were all published anonymously. How could one find out the client?

“Yes, the client just called and urged the mission on, asking why it is not completed yet. Then, he left his contact information.” Tsunami explained, “Now, the contact number is in my hands. The phone number is from China. You tracing it should be more convenient than me.”

“Good job! You tell me the phone number,” said Tombstone.

“The phone is 0x.x.x-88887777,” said Tsunami.

“There is no news for the person who called for Yang Ming’s a.s.sa.s.sination?” Tombstone wrote down the phone number and asked.

“Not yet. I have contacted the veteran broker, but he still has not replied,” said Tsunami.

“Alright, let me know as soon as you get the news.” After Tombstone finished, he hung up. The communication between him and Tsunami had always been simple. There was no nonsense. It was a habit that developed in the organization for many years.

Although it was not in line with the rules to hand over the client’s contact information to the target, because of the special circ.u.mstances which involved the Miss of the b.u.t.terfly Family, w.a.n.g Xiaoyan, and the future son-in-law of the b.u.t.terfly Family, Yang Ming, Tombstone had to make it an exception.

Anyway, he was not afraid that this client could spread the matter of the b.u.t.terfly Family breaking a promise because he wouldn’t be alive at all.

“w.a.n.g Kejin, you will pa.s.s this contact information to the Miss. It is not suitable for me to make an appearance.” Tombstone handed over the contact information recorded to w.a.n.g Kejin and told him to tell w.a.n.g Xiaoyan.

“Okay.” w.a.n.g Kejin took the contact information. Although he thought it was not appropriate, since Tombstone ordered, w.a.n.g Kejin couldn’t say anything more. He could only do it according to Tombstone’s command.

w.a.n.g Kejin hesitated and called w.a.n.g Xiaoyan.

w.a.n.g Xiaoyan had just finished cla.s.s. She heard the phone ringing but saw an unfamiliar number.

“h.e.l.lo?” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan picked up the phone.

“Miss, it’s me, w.a.n.g Kejin.” w.a.n.g Kejin reported his background.

“

Oh

? w.a.n.g Kejin? Is there anything the matter?” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan was slightly surprised. She didn’t expect w.a.n.g Kejin to call.

“Miss, we have gotten results from the investigations of the contact details of the client who issued the a.s.sa.s.sinations of Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan,” said w.a.n.g Kejin.

“There is already a result?” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan was a little surprised that there was a result so soon. “Tell me his contact details.”

“Okay, his phone number is 0x.x.x-88887777.” w.a.n.g Kejin said, “He called using this phone and asked why the mission has not been executed… Miss, this does not conform to the rules of our organization… You must not spread it…” w.a.n.g Kejin couldn’t help but remind her.

“I understand. You don’t have to tell me,” said w.a.n.g Xiaoyan faintly. Although she didn’t say anything, being the lady of the b.u.t.terfly Family and reminded by her underling was embarra.s.sing. w.a.n.g Xiaoyan couldn’t do something that would ruin her family’s image.

w.a.n.g Kejin heard that w.a.n.g Xiaoyan’s tone was a little unpleasant. He was shocked and felt that he had said too much! w.a.n.g Xiaoyan did not take over the family affairs, so w.a.n.g Xiaoyan’s status was not ingrained among them. In their subconscious, w.a.n.g Xiaoyan was not treated as the master.

Thinking of w.a.n.g Xiaoyan’s status, w.a.n.g Kejin was a little scared and quickly said, “Sorry, Miss, I was pus.h.i.+ng my boundaries.”

“It is alright.” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan did not bicker with w.a.n.g Kejin. “Have you found out the person who issued an a.s.sa.s.sination on Yang Ming and me?”

“Not yet, but I am already following up. I believe that there will be results soon,” said w.a.n.g Kejin.

“Okay, contact me at any time if you have news,” said w.a.n.g Xiaoyan.

After getting the client’s phone number on the a.s.sa.s.sination of Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan, w.a.n.g Xiaoyan called Yang Ming at the first moment. Since Hou Zhenhan, Bao Sanli, and w.a.n.g Xiaoyan were not familiar with each other, this thing could only be dealt with by Yang Ming.

“Yanyan, is there anything the matter?” Yang Ming was anxiously waiting for the news of Tian Donghua, but he already waited for four hours. Tian Donghua should have already arrived in Donghai. Yang Ming still had no news from him.

The phone rang. Yang Ming thought it was from Tian Donghua. Once he read the electronic display, it was w.a.n.g Xiaoyan. Yang Ming didn’t know why w.a.n.g Xiaoyan called him this time.

“Yang Ming, the client who commissioned the a.s.sa.s.sination of Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan has been found.” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan said, “w.a.n.g Kejin just called me.”

“What? You have found it? Who is it?” Yang Ming asked quickly. Previously, Qu Daming and Liu Chan’s escape from Donghai had already made Yang Ming vaguely think that the a.s.sa.s.sination of Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan should have a great connection with Qu Daming and Liu Chan!

The rebellion of Tian Long was inextricably linked to Qu Daming and Liu Chan. Moreover, Tian Long acting against Yang Ming also proved this. In other words, these three things could be considered as a single matter.

So, when w.a.n.g Xiaoyan said that she had found the client who issued the a.s.sa.s.sination of Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan, Yang Ming was excited. It was a very valuable clue. He could probably get some hints from it.

The current affair was not clear. Yang Ming was utterly in a state of confusion. Tian Long was targeting himself but also acting against Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan. Furthermore, he acted against Yang Ming’s company and the Sun Family. Although these things were beneficial for him, it was very troublesome to do it all together.

Normal people will not do so many things at the same time. In this way, not only will they not be able to focus on anything, but if one thing is messed up, it will bring a lot of trouble. Was it really as what Tian Donghua said to Yang Ming that acting against him was purely because of the behind-the-scenes boss?

Yang Ming could only solve and get the answers after Tian Donghua met Tian Long. However, just as he waited for the answer, w.a.n.g Xiaoyan unexpectedly gave him this exciting news.

“w.a.n.g Kejin gave me his contact information. The contact detail is 0x.x.x-88887777.” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan said, “The person only left the contact details, but this should be enough.”

“This is a phone number from Mount Jing?” Yang Ming heard the area code and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Why is it Mount Jing?”

“I don’t know about that. I will hand over the investigation to you. I will go to cla.s.s first. Contact me anytime when you have news,” said w.a.n.g Xiaoyan.

“Okay, feel free to contact me.” Hanging up w.a.n.g Xiaoyan’s phone, Yang Ming was lost in thought. Originally, Yang Ming thought that the person who issued the a.s.sa.s.sination of Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan was either between Liu Chan and Qu Daming, or a person around Tian Long or even Tian Long himself. However, Yang Ming did not expect that it involved Mount Jing!

Thinking of Mount Jing, Yang Ming first thought of the Sui Family, but Yang Ming was not sure whether this matter had anything to do with the Sui Family. Yang Ming decided to probe it and dialed the 114 query desk of Mount Jing.

This was the most common query channel. Yang Ming didn’t even think about checking the phone’s message from 114. After all, if it was the client of the a.s.sa.s.sination, he should not be so careless and use a public phone to call.

However, this phone number was a kind of auspicious number. It should not be like a temporary number registered randomly, so Yang Ming decided to dial 114 to test it. If there were no results, he would go to Chen Fei or Xia Xue and use the internal channel to investigate this number.

However, as a result, it was bound to alarm the police. It was more difficult to conduct any personal action. Of course, Yang Ming could also dial this number directly, but there was the possibility of inadvertently alerting the enemy.

“h.e.l.lo, this is Mount Jing’s 114 telephone inquiry desk. Do you need me to help you with anything?” There was a sweet female voice from the operator.

“h.e.l.lo, please help me check. What kind of phone number is 88887777?” asked Yang Ming.

“Please wait for a moment. I am looking it up for you,” said the operator. After a while, the operator said, “h.e.l.lo, sorry, sir. I have kept you waiting…”

When Yang Ming heard the operator saying sorry, he thought it was not inquired. There was no hope anymore. As he was about to say it was alright and hang up the phone, he heard the operator say ‘I have kept you waiting’… So, Yang Ming patiently continued to listen.

“Sir, the number, 88887777, you are looking for belongs to Mount Jing’s Immortal Group,” said the operator.

“Immortal Group? Thank you.” Yang Ming did not expect that he could actually investigate the phone number like this.

However, where is this Immortal Group? How come it is so familiar?

After hanging up the phone, Yang Ming took out his mobile phone and searched with the search engine via the mobile G3 network for information about the Immortal Group.

Immortal Group is a comprehensive group with subsidiaries, covering real estate, food, entertainment, and other industries… Immortal Resort… Suddenly a familiar name was shown in Yang Ming’s eyes!
