Chapter 6, The Cold Beauty Killer (3)

Chen Wanqing let out a hum again and headed towards the window, seemingly having entered from there as well. Although Li Jiangnan's home is on the fourth floor, this height is surely child's play for these assassins.

As soon as Chen Wanqing left, the first thing Li Jiangnan did was take out the Tianlong Ring from his sock and examine it closely. After a few glances, apart from the exquisitely crafted and imposing dragon head on the ring face, he still could not discern anything particularly special about it

Li Jiangnan's mind was in a state of confusion

At that moment, he suddenly thought of something that he had to guard against, so he hurriedly put the ring back into his sock and began to tidy up the mess that Chen Wanqing had made in the room.

This must be killed whether given or not, Li Jiangnan is in a dilemma, feeling a surge of confusion in his heart

Chen Wanqing had already climbed out of the window. Li Jiangnan leaned out to look and saw her continuously jumping along the edge of the building's wall, occasionally grabbing onto the water pipes that ran up the wall. In less than twenty seconds, she descended from the four-story building and then sprinted forward, quickly scaling a three-meter-high wall and disappearing from sight, her agility astonishing him even more.

It is evident that Chen Wanqing is a very meticulous girl, no, a female assassin. She searches for things with great care, even tearing apart the cotton stuffed inside the pillow bit by bit to take a look. Li Jiangnan's room is quite small, only about ten square meters, and there isn't much in it. However, she quietly spent a full three hours searching before finishing. This level of seriousness and rigor left Li Jiangnan quite impressed.

Concerning life and death, Li Jiangnan's gaze had never left Chen Wanqing. He even captured the hint of a smile that began to flicker in her eyes, along with the cold glint that appeared in an instant. He suddenly had a feeling that this girl still retained a touch of innocence in her nature; it was just that her profession, or rather the training she underwent later, had transformed her into a female demon.

So he quickly shouted, "Wait a moment"

Chen Wanqing let out a snort, but slowly released her grip. Then, glaring at him with gritted teeth, she said fiercely, "Alright, I will first go to Songhe Village to find the Yang Baotian you mentioned. During this time, you should think carefully. The organization has given me three months to find the Tianlong Ring. Once the three months are up, if you do not tell me the truth, I will kill you"

Li Jiangnan said: "How is it? I didn't deceive you, did I? My mother said that one can deceive anyone, but deceiving a beautiful woman will bring down five thunders. If I were to deceive a stunning beauty like you, I believe in my next life I would definitely become... become a castrated boar, forever unable to mate with a sow"

You should verify whether what I said is true or not. If I happen to remember incorrectly, and you do not obtain the Heavenly Dragon Ring, then if you kill me, wouldn't all the clues be severed? How will you explain this to your organization

Chen Wanqing said: "Do you have any last words at m.hetushu.com? If it is feasible, I might consider it."

It was just a moment ago that he suddenly realized that this "blue and white bowl," being a killer, would not easily trust his words. There was a chance that it might turn around and come back to verify again, so he became more cautious. To his surprise, she really did return

Li Jiangnan thought to himself: "I curse you, rotten watermelon. If I were to tell you the truth, you would kill me right now. Dying in three months is better than dying now. With this time, won't I be able to escape?"

He flipped through the pages while, intentionally or not, glancing at the window with the corner of his eye. Two minutes later, indeed, half a head gradually appeared outside the window.

First, report the alarm

Upon hearing this, Li Jiangnan could not help but silently lament, and could only nod in response, saying: "No, no."

However, unexpectedly, Chen Wanqing seemed to see through his thoughts and said, "Li Jiangnan, do not think about playing tricks to escape. If you run away, I will kill your parents. If your parents run away, I will kill all your relatives. If you don't believe me, you can try."

By the time everything was searched, the clock in Li Jiangnan's room had already pointed to 5 o'clock

It is known that, due to their busy schedules, Li Jiangnan's parents do not have time to wash his clothes, so he has to do it himself. However, he is a considerate child who is often preoccupied with browsing the internet, watching television, and reading YY novels. In order to help the family save on laundry detergent and to free up extra time for enriching his cultural knowledge through books, he tends to wear his clothes for an extended period before washing them all at once. As for these socks, he actually wore them ten days ago and forgot to wash them. A couple of days ago, they didn't seem too dirty, so he decided to reuse them. He has grown accustomed to the smell, but this "blue and white porcelain bowl" is another matter.

At this moment, upon hearing Chen Wanqing's opening remarks, Li Jiangnan felt his heart plummet rapidly, secretly thinking: "I curse you like a rotten watermelon, you really intend to silence me for good"

First, escape

Thus, he decided to sleep; since he could not come up with a solution, he could only sleep

Chen Wanqing looked at Li Jiangnan, who appeared serious yet was speaking nonsense. A hint of amusement flickered in her eyes, but this smile was quickly overshadowed by a ruthless coldness. She gazed at Li Jiangnan and said coldly: "Li Jiangnan, although your words are quite boring, you shouldn't have to die so soon, but I..."

Li Jiangnan felt his breathing becoming difficult, struggling to say: "Of course... of course it is... really, but Old He... Old He talked to me about many things that day, perhaps there is... perhaps there is a clue to the Dragon Ring, I... I need to think about it slowly"

Chen Wanqing stood in the room, breathing slightly heavily, her beautiful face already showing a look of disappointment

Fortunately, there was no miscalculation. Chen Wanqing never expected that there would be more to Li Jiangnan's stinky socks. As she crouched down to search under the bed, she glanced at it but quickly covered her nose.

Although Li Jiangnan breathed a sigh of relief, he still did not dare to move recklessly. After putting everything in the room back in its place and refilling the cotton in his pillow, he lay down in the quilt, waiting until dawn when the sounds outside became noisy. Only then did he turn over and quickly take the Tianlong Ring out of his sock. He then opened the wardrobe and placed it in another washed sock that still had a bit of odor. The earlier incident proved that Chen Wanqing was quite cunning, and this stinky sock could not be left here for long.

At this moment, cold sweat had already soaked through Li Jiangnan's vest. If he had been admiring the Tianlong Ring just now, he would likely have been lying dead on the spot. The simpler one's thoughts, the happier one is; however, to ensure one's survival, it is necessary to complicate matters a bit.

At this moment, the faint sound of his father's snoring reached him, and Li Jiangnan finally felt at ease. However, recalling the events of the night, his heart continued to race incessantly.

Her words further convinced Li Jiangnan that this eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl, even if she were an assassin, could never be a perfect one; her heart was not as cold as her face suggested

As soon as this thought emerged, Li Jiangnan immediately dismissed it. Whether the police would believe his words was still a question, and given Chen Wanqing's formidable abilities, coupled with the apparent backing of a large organization, the police would not be able to ensure his safety

Chen Wanqing indeed possesses patience, as she silently observed for an hour outside the window in the biting cold, until the sky began to brighten, at which point the figure outside finally disappeared

This is what Li Jiangnan thinks the most, but he is completely at a loss as to where to escape. The most important thing is that Chen Wanqing's words about wanting to kill her parents and relatives are by no means a threat. Can he just stand by and let this bloodshed happen?

Li Jiangnan has rarely found himself in dead ends, always wearing a frown, living in constant anxiety. These past three months have felt worse than not living at all, so he truly stopped thinking about anything, lay down, and surprisingly fell asleep quickly

What should I do

Li Jiangnan realized that Chen Wanqing had returned, and he couldn't help but silently exclaim "That was close"

He is indeed speaking the truth; if in the next life one unfortunately becomes a boar and is castrated, it is still better than being driven around every day by the owner to serve numerous sows.

Isn't there a saying: Yesterday has already passed, tomorrow has not yet arrived, so let us focus on making today a good day first

In Li Jiangnan's bedroom, apart from his mother, not to mention beautiful women, even ugly ones had never visited. Moreover, he was filled with curiosity about this cold beauty killer and intended to engage in conversation to extract some information. However, upon recalling the Tianlong ring that was currently resting in his sock, he dismissed this thought.

Upon hearing Li Jiangnan mention "organization," a distinct look of fear appeared in Chen Wanqing's eyes. Suddenly, she rushed in front of Li Jiangnan and grasped his neck, saying: "What do you mean you misremembered? Tell me, is what you said true or not?"
