245 Assassination

e items inside are quite expensive; I can’t afford most of them. It’s better to stay outside,” Sun Xinxin explained softly.Hearing her words, Xia Tian pulled her into the store: "It doesn't matter, Si...Chapter 245: Assassination - Wuyou Chinese Web Novel

Mu Han's actions proceeded smoothly. Although she wasn't particularly close to Zhao Qingqing, her relationship with Zhao Tiāotiao was intimate enough that the people at Zhao Qingqing's house didn't suspect her. A few minutes later, she brought Zhao Qingqing outside the gates of the Municipal Party Committee compound.

"Yay! I finally managed to run away!" When Zhao Qingqing saw Leng Bingbing, she immediately became very excited and ran over to her. "Sis Bingbing, I've made up my mind—I'm going to run away from home and live with you!"

"Live at my place" Leng Bingbing couldn't help hesitating for a moment. "Qingqing, that doesn't seem right... Your family might accuse me of abducting a minor."

"Sis Bingbing, I turned eighteen yesterday—I'm an adult now and can decide where to live on my own without anyone's permission!" Zhao Qingqing brushed off her concerns. She then grinned at Leng Bingbing, saying, "But Sis Bingbing, I don't have any money. You'll need to take care of me—feed me, house me, and give me pocket money."

"Alright, if you really don't want to go home, you can stay with me for a few days." Leng Bingbing didn’t insist further; she turned to look at Summer. "You take Qingqing back home first. I'll head to the police station and make some arrangements. I’ll be right back."

"Wow, Sis Bingbing, you really are living together with your master now" Zhao Qingqing exclaimed dramatically.

Leng Bingbing shot Zhao Qingqing an angry look: "Do you believe that I'll send you straight back home if you keep it up"

Zhao Qingqing stuck out her tongue and quickly got into the car. "Master, let's go!

Cold Bingbing got out of the car and returned to her police car, quickly driving away. On this side, Mu Han also started the car and headed toward Jingyuan Community where Cold Bingbing was.

When the car arrived at villa number 13 in Jingyuan Community, Zhao Qingqing confirmed that Xia Tian really was living with Cold Bingbing after seeing her take out a key to open the door.

"Master, I am so impressed! Bingbing姐, who hates being someone's second wife the most, actually fell for you!" As soon as she entered the living room, Zhao Qingqing started flattering Xia Tian. Then, changing the subject, she said, "But Master, if you would teach me more martial arts skills, I'd be even more impressed with you!"

"I don't want your admiration." Xia Tian didn’t bother to pay attention to Zhao Qingqing and turned to look at Mu Han. "Wife, we're home now. Will you wear a swimsuit for me"

Zhao Qingqing felt depressed. So did Mu Han. How could this guy only remember this one thing

"Husband, it's daytime now. It’s not quite right yet. Let’s wait till night." Mu Han continued to stall the time.

"Alright then, but you must wear it for me tonight," Xia Tian thought about it and still nodded his head. With Zhao Qingqing around as a third wheel, it was indeed inconvenient.

Zhao Qingqing secretly criticized Xia Tian in her heart. This master was simply too unreasonable! He kept finding different mistresses. Even worse was that despite living together with Bingbing姐, he still had illicit relationships with other women and even brought them home to Bingbing姐’s place!

Zhao Qingqing couldn’t figure out why Cold Bingbing hadn't shot this master yet. But thinking about it, if Bingbing姐 really did so, she wouldn’t be able to find someone to teach her martial arts anymore. So when Bingbing姐 got angry later on and returned home, she would try to persuade Bingbing姐 not to break up with this master just yet. She would let him go only after she had become the number one female martial artist in the world.

However, after Leng Bingbing returned, Zhao Qingqing found that her concerns were completely unnecessary. Leng Bingbing didn't react in any unusual way; she actually showed no indication of disapproval towards Xia Tian bringing a woman home.

"That's not right, too abnormal!" Zhao Qingqing muttered to herself. How could Sister Bing have changed so much Could it really be due to Shifu's charm But she felt that apart from being skilled in martial arts, Shifu wasn't particularly charming!

However, Zhao Qingqing soon stopped pondering over this issue as Leng Bingbing retrieved the book "Woman's Fist Technique" and handed it to her. “This was originally intended for you by Xia Tian; I'll give it to you now.”

"Wow, Woman's Fist Technique! What a cool name! I love it!" Zhao Qingqing was extremely excited. "Sister Bing, how about we learn together Then we can go out and beat people up together!"

“Sure, I'll accompany you in your studies.” Leng Bingbing nodded; although she wasn’t as obsessed with martial arts like Zhao Qingqing, as a detective, learning self-defense techniques was naturally beneficial. Moreover, when she had requested the book "Woman's Fist Technique" last night, her original intention had been to learn it herself. She only passed it on to Zhao Qingqing because she thought Zhao Qingqing would enjoy learning more about martial arts. Now that Zhao Qingqing suggested they learn together, Leng Bingbing wouldn’t oppose it either; practicing martial arts with a partner was indeed more efficient.

Thus, Leng Bingbing and Zhao Qingqing began studying "Woman's Fist Technique," while Xia Tian looked forward to the evening when Mu Han promised to wear swimming attire for him.

Mu Han received another phone call, from the same person. Within this day alone, she had already received three calls from them.

Just by seeing the number, Mu Han felt a sense of foreboding; could they be pressuring her to act

Although somewhat anxious, Mu Han still stepped out of the villa and answered the call.

"Did you hear that Li Mingren has been dethroned" the man on the phone asked.

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes," Mu Han replied.

"Do you remember Room 1208 at Hyatt Hotel The place where you first met Xia Tian."

"I do," Mu Han was puzzled. What exactly did that person want to do

"Everything has been arranged, and I've booked the room for you. Tonight, go there with him. There will be a bottle of red wine in the room along with two glasses. One glass has a mark on its bottom while the other is coated inside with Black Friday. Just pour the wine into the marked cup and let him drink from it," the man said slowly and seriously, "Drinking at that place which means so much to both of you, he won't suspect anything, and you can achieve your goal without any cost."

"So soon" Mu Han felt an unusual sense of unease. She had thought she still had three days to consider the matter but by noon, it was already reduced to 48 hours, now less than eight hours remained.

In her memory, that person was decisive and once he made up his mind, nothing would make him change it easily. Yet now, just for killing someone, he kept changing his mind again and again. Was Xia Tian's death really so important to him

"No questions. Just do as I said," the man on the phone sounded a bit impatient before hanging up.

Mu Han stood there blankly outside for she didn't know how long until it started getting dark without her realizing it.

"Honey, it's already evening!" Xia Tian’s voice suddenly came from behind, startling Mu Han out of her daze. She checked the time and saw that it was past seven in the evening; Xia Tian was clearly reminding her to keep her promise.

“What must come will eventually come, there's no way to avoid it,” Mu Han sighed inwardly as a beautiful smile suddenly blossomed on her pretty face. "Husband, there are other people here and it’s not very convenient. Shall we go somewhere else instead I’ll put the clothes on for you then, okay”

“Sure!” Xia Tian readily agreed.

“Then let's go, shall we To where we first met each other, okay” Mu Han wrapped her arm around Xia Tian’s and asked in a coquettish voice.

Xia Tian naturally nodded in agreement. Without even saying goodbye to Leng Bingbing, the two of them got into the car and drove out of Jingyuan Community straight towards Hyatt Hotel.

As that person had said over the phone, Room 1208 at Hyatt Hotel was reserved under Mu Han’s name. After entering the room, Mu Han immediately spotted the bottle of red wine as well as two glasses beside it.

"Husband, we haven’t eaten dinner yet. Shall we first get some food delivered" Mu Han casually suggested while picking up the two glasses; she soon found the one with a marking on it.

Xia Tian once again agreed to her proposal. Mu Han then called the service desk and ordered several dishes before opening the bottle of red wine, pouring each glass full.

However, at this point, she couldn’t help but hesitate: should she really give Xia Tian the drink She knew that so-called Black Friday was a colorless, odorless poison. Anyone who ingested it would die within three minutes; clearly if Xia Tian were to drink from that glass, even if his martial arts skills were top-notch, he’d still be doomed.

"Well, I'm a bit thirsty. How about having a glass of wine" She was still hesitating when Xia Tian suddenly reached out and brought over a glass of red wine, the very one that contained the poison.

"Husband..." In this moment, Mu Han subconsciously tried to stop her, but she hadn’t even finished speaking before Xia Tian had already gulped down more than half of the glass of red wine.

"If it's fate, then I can't blame myself," thought Mu Han uneasily, trying to console herself.

"Wife, aren’t you going to drink" asked Xia Tian. "This wine actually tastes quite good."

"Husband, let’s toast to our acquaintance," said Mu Han with a bitter tone, then she tilted her neck and poured the entire glass of red wine down her throat.

Xia Tian giggled and finished off the remaining half of the wine in his glass as well.

"Uh... it hurts!" Xia Tian suddenly turned pale, clutched his stomach with both hands, and fell forward, a look of agony on his face.

Mu Han couldn’t bear to watch and turned her head away. She wasn't someone who hadn't killed before, but every time she had done so in the past, those she had killed were either strangers or truly despicable individuals. Xia Tian was different; he wasn’t a stranger to her, and although he was somewhat lecherous, she didn’t think him deserving of death.

At this moment, an excruciating pain shot through Mu Han’s lower abdomen. She clutched her stomach, and as she fell, countless thoughts raced through her mind. In the end, despite the intense agony, she forced herself to take out her phone from her pocket and dialed a number: "You... are you going to kill me too"d the phone away before continuing his unfinished business.The phone rang yet again with a new unknown caller. This time, Xia Tian finally turned off his phone to gain some peace."Xia Tian, what if so...
