Jian Ai didn’t continue, but Hans understood what she meant.
He could not help but smile. The first smile Hans revealed tonight was a bitter smile.
He shook his head gently. “I even used the mercenary group’s strongest trump card, but I still failed. I no longer have any mercenaries who can threaten you.”
“Besides, I’ve disappointed that person’s expectations. Perhaps he won’t continue to trust us.”
“If you encounter another assassination in the future, it can only be from another organization. I can only promise you I won’t do anything, but I can’t promise anything else!”
Hans’s words were quite sincere. There were countless killer organizations in the world, and their scale was different. They had settled Hans’ international mercenary group, but that did not mean that the other party would not find others.
“Your guarantee is enough for our current situation!” Jian Ai said.
Jian Ai paused and looked at Hans. “So, Mr. Hans, can you tell me who the other party is?”
She thought that at this stage of the conversation, Hans had already thought it through. Unexpectedly, Hans shook his head. “I’m sorry, I can’t say it!”
Jian Ai frowned. Before she could say anything, Hans continued, “We are all people who lick the tip of a knife and drink blood. We have killed countless people in our lives to get the benefits and money we want.”
“Everyone says that we are vicious and evil people, the darkest existence in the world. Perhaps in a sense, that’s true. Because most of the people we kill have nothing to do with us. Some are completely innocent, while others are heinous. We’re not picky. As long as the amount of commission is enough, we’ll accept it!”
Halfway through, Hans suddenly chuckled at himself and looked at Jian Ai and the rest with a meaningful look. “We sound like extremely unprincipled thugs, right? But actually, we know very well what the principles we have to uphold are.”
“There are rules in this world. Especially if you want to gain a foothold in this world, abide by the rules of the living environment and stick to your bottom line! As a mercenary, even if you die, you will never reveal your employer’s information. Absolutely not!”
With a long sigh, Hans raised his eyebrows slightly. “So I’m sorry. At least from my mouth, you probably won’t get the news you want!”
Hans’s words made Jian Ai and the rest’s expressions turn cold. Yun Buyao, who was at the side, couldn’t help but say, “Since Mr. Hans doesn’t plan to tell the truth, what’s the purpose of us sitting here and talking?”
As soon as Yun Buyao spoke, Hans raised his eyebrows slightly because he could tell that Yun Buyao’s voice was the voice that had spoken in his head just now.
It turned out that this strange ability belonged to this woman with long light green hair.
Jian Ai and Yu Wuyuan also looked at Hans. Both of them wanted an accurate answer. Did Hans not plan to cooperate, or did he not care about the lives of Irene and the rest?
However, Hans said faintly, “Since I’m still willing to sit here with you, it’s because there are other solutions!”
Everyone’s expressions froze, as if they did not understand what Hans meant!
Hans straightened his muscular body and said, “To be honest, I have very few opportunities to interact with the person behind this. Over the years, my organization has done many things for him, but he is a very careful person. Until now, he still doesn’t trust me completely, so I have been negotiating with his subordinates for almost all communication.”
“Because of Irene’s disappearance, I was greatly affected. He must be more concerned about whether the mission was completed, so his people have been contacting me non-stop, but I haven’t responded.”
“So I think recently, those two lackeys of his will come to me personally to ask about it.”
Jian Ai looked at Hans and said, “You want us to get the information we want from these two people?”
Hans raised his eyebrows slightly. “If you have the ability. After all, he must have sent the most loyal people to contact me, so they must be very stubborn!”
Jian Ai and the rest couldn’t help but look at each other. Jian Ai’s expression was puzzled because Hans’ idea sounded unnecessary.
He said that he could not say it, but he gave them another idea. Let them ask others? What was the difference between this and deceiving themselves?
Even if he didn’t say it himself, he came up with this idea and pointed the way. It was equivalent to indirectly helping the other party.
Perhaps to Hans, as long as he did not say it himself, it would not count.
Jian Ai didn’t want to guess Hans’s train of thought. She just wanted to know if this idea was reliable.
“Are you sure they’ll come?” Jian Ai asked.
Hans nodded gently. “The importance of this mission is enough to torture that person day and night. I haven’t heard from him during this time. He must be impatient.”
Jian Ai frowned and thought for a moment. Then, she looked at Yun Buyao and Yu Wuyuan and asked for their opinions.
The two of them nodded because they could tell that Leader Hans was determined not to say anything. Since there was a second solution, they did not have to fall out with Hans. The best solution was to achieve their goal safely.
Yun Buyao also had concerns in her heart. She considered using hypnosis on Hans directly, but she did not know if it would work because Xiao Zhen’s medicine failed in front of Hans.
Although her Flower Shift was successful, it took a long time for her to cast the spell on Hans through Zhi Tong’s eyes. Yun Buyao felt that if Hans was on guard, she might not be able to control his mind.
Seeing this, Jian Ai sighed softly. “Alright, let’s try the method Leader Hans mentioned.”
“What about my people?” Hans asked.
Jian Ai said, “Don’t worry. When this is over, I’ll let them come back safely.”
When Hans heard this, he said in a low voice, “I’m not in a hurry, but at least let me talk to Irene tomorrow. I want to confirm that they’re safe.”
This request was not too much, so Jian Ai nodded and agreed without thinking. “Alright, I’ll let you talk on the phone once tomorrow.”
Although Jian Ai did not get the answer she wanted, the two sides had reached a consensus. Hans had also pointed out another path for them, so Jian Ai was not too conflicted.
