Chapter 582: Difficulty Level Enhanced

“What’s the matter?” As though sensing the slight movement on Gu Qingjiu’s side, Lie Feng p.r.i.c.ked his ears and asked in a low voice.

“Nothing.” Gu Qingjiu naturally wouldn’t tell him what she just saw, so she randomly cooked up an excuse. “There’s a mosquito.”

“Even if there are mosquitoes, you need to bear with it,” said Zong Wenjia.

“This is considered not bad already. Having been on so many missions, we have encountered far worse,” Lie Feng comforted.

Gu Qingjiu responded, “I know.”

“Alright, don’t talk so much, lest others sense something amiss.”

Silence resumed over the ear mic.

The banquet was about to commence.

The villa they entered was situated at the far end. Because of its layout, Gu Qingjiu couldn’t see what was going on inside the villa after they entered the main hall. Hence, she could merely deduce the situation through what was said over the ear mic.

But how was she to fire accurately at the target under those circ.u.mstances? However accurate her shooting was, she could do nothing when there was a wall between her and the target.

Just then, Gu Qingjiu heard Zong Wenjia call out loud, “Mr. Yun Qiyue?”

The main lead had appeared!

Gu Qingjiu immediately pumped herself up.

She listened as Zong Wenjia and this Mr. Yun conversed in a polite yet perfunctory manner. No idea if officials all spoke in this tone, but Gu Qingjiu didn’t understand what they were talking about.

Through this conversation, Gu Qingjiu could see that Zong Wenjia and the rest had made preparations for this mission way in advance.

Or else, they wouldn’t have made contact with the target so quickly.

“Qingjiu, my sister and Yun Qiyue are going upstairs.”

Zong Wenxuan’s voice secretly rang from some corner. “My sister and Yun Qiyue are going up to the study on the second floor to continue their discussion. She will try her best to direct Yun Qiyue to the window. As for the rest, you need to make your judgment. Your mission is to fire at Yun Qiyue and make him unconscious, and only then can my older sister do what she needs to do.”

“I know,” Gu Qingjiu responded in a low voice.

She could hear Yun Qiyue asking Zong Wenjia to go upstairs to talk.

However, after they left, Lie Feng said in a changed tone, “Drats. One of Yun Qiyue’s bodyguards followed them in.”

Zong Wenxuan sounded anxious. “d.a.m.n this old geezer. Can a bodyguard overhear such conversations?”

“He seems like Yun Qiyue’s private bodyguard.”

Lie Feng cursed softly. “I’ll check out elsewhere.”

Naturally, Zong Wenjia could hear this exchange. Gu Qingjiu heard her feigning surprise over the ear mic. “Mr. Yun, regarding the matter we’re going to discuss, this person…”

Yun Qiyue chuckled. “Miss Yan, you don’t have to mind him. He’s only my bodyguard, and he’s also my nephew. I have business dealings with him, so of course, it’s appropriate for him to hear our discussion. You don’t distrust me, do you, Miss Yan?”

Zong Wenjia had gotten in using a Miss Yan’s ident.i.ty this time, pretending to discuss a business dealing with Yun Qiyue.

But with them speaking so vaguely, Gu Qingjiu didn’t manage to tell what sort of business dealing it was so far.

But she could sense that this Yun Qiyue was a cunning old fox.

Creak.

Following the door opening’s sound, Gu Qingjiu saw a room lighting up in the villa she was monitoring.

Through the binoculars, Gu Qingjiu could see… a vague figure inside.

“This is bad.”

Gu Qingjiu raised her brows in astonishment. “Not only is the room blocked by a gla.s.s window, but there’s also even a curtain.”
