“You… are you the Miss?”
Wang Kejin had naturally heard of Wang Xiaoyan’s nickname in the Butterfly Family, the Miss. However, Wang Xiaoyan left the family to live an independent life very early. Wang Kejin did not really see Wang Xiaoyan before, and Wang Xiaoyan was just mentioned when he was chatting with other assassins. He roughly knew the age of Wang Xiaoyan and the fact that she went to China.
He could only know about this. However, when Wang Xiaoyan used the Butterfly Family’s secret Butterfly Dance Microstep, Wang Kejin only thought that the person in front of him was probably the Miss Wang of the Butterfly Family!
The Butterfly Dance Microstep was a superior and very secretive Kung Fu. Even the assassins in the Butterfly Family couldn’t practice it at will, let alone outsiders who had no relationship! The fact that Wang Xiaoyan could use the Butterfly Dance Microstep already explained the problem itself!
Wang Kejin didn’t think that Wang Xiaoyan stole and learned it. How could this Kung Fu be stolen to learn? If so, then the Kung Fu of the Butterfly Family would all be revealed, and the Butterfly Family would not be the largest assassin group in the world.
So, in summary, there was only one possibility! That was why Wang Kejin was so panicked! He went on an assassination, and his target was actually the Miss, Wang Xiaoyan.
How could he not be astonished? Assassinating the Miss was simply betraying the family! As he thought of this, Wang Kejin’s body trembled…
“Who are you?” Wang Xiaoyan was very sensitive to this title, “the Miss” because, in the family, she was known as the Miss. “Do you know the Butterfly Dance Microstep?”
“You really are the Miss, Wang Xiaoyan?” When Wang Kejin heard Wang Xiaoyan say the name of Butterfly Dance Microstep, he was more convinced that the person in front of him was Wang Xiaoyan.
“You are in the family?” Wang Xiaoyan did not say out the name of Butterfly Family because she did not want Yang Ming to know about her background, lest Yang Ming would be discouraged that the Butterfly Family was too difficult to surpass.
Wang Kejin nodded.
“What’s your name?” Wang Xiaoyan continued.
“Wang Kejin, I’m a third-generation disciple.” Wang Kejin replied truthfully. Now that Wang Xiaoyan’s identity had been confirmed, then Wang Xiaoyan’s question was equal to a question from the master of the family. Wang Kejin naturally did not conceal his answer. “In my pocket, there is a family token.”
Because Wang Kejin was still threatened by Wang Xiaoyan with a dagger, he did not dare to act rashly. So, he only said that he had a token in his pocket, but did not take it out.
Wang Xiaoyan touched Wang Kejin’s jacket pocket and found a small butterfly-like token in his pocket. Wang Xiaoyan nodded. She finally completely believed Wang Kejin’s words and removed the dagger away from his neck.
“Don’t reveal the secrets of the family; come in and talk to me.” Wang Xiaoyan whispered to Wang Kejin.
Yang Ming was not far away, but Wang Xiaoyan’s voice was very soft, so Yang Ming did not hear it. It was true that Yang Ming had a special telescopic ability, and he could read lips, but he did not need to do that to Wang Xiaoyan. Therefore, he didn’t hear Wang Xiaoyan’s last sentence clearly.
“Yang Ming, this person is an assassin sent from my family.” After Wang Xiaoyan finished talking with Wang Kejin, she turned to Yang Ming and explained.
Just from the conversation between Wang Kejin and Wang Xiaoyan, Yang Ming had already guessed something. At this moment, listening to Wang Xiaoyan, he nodded and made a gesture. “Let’s go in and talk!”
Yang Ming got in the car and waved at Wang Xiaoyan and Wang Kejin. When Wang Kejin saw Wang Xiaoyan nod, he sat in the back seat of the BMW.
The car drove into the underground parking lot of Wang Xiaoyan’s villa. Once the car was parked, Yang Ming, Wang Xiaoyan, and Wang Kejin got off the car. At the moment, Wang Kejin didn’t have his previous murderous intent, but he followed respectfully behind Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan.
However, Yang Ming did not put down his vigilance just because Wang Kejin and Wang Xiaoyan were acquainted. Who knew if this was a trick? So Yang Ming always paid attention to Wang Kejin’s movements.
It was not until they entered the villa, and Wang Xiaoyan let Wang Kejin sit across the sofa that Yang Ming finally put down his vigilance a little, but he did not completely put down his guard toward Wang Kejin.
“Wrap up your hand first.” Yang Ming glanced at Wang Kejin’s right hand and said, “Yanyan, go upstairs to the bedroom and bring my medicine box down.”
Since he was a member of Wang Xiaoyan’s family, Yang Ming naturally treated him differently. He intended to use some of Fang Tian’s secret healing elixirs. These were all made by Fang Tian according to the ancient Chinese medicinal recipes; the price was very costly.
Wang Xiaoyan was also planning to find the medicine box and gauze for Wang Kejin, but after listening to Yang Ming’s words, she immediately understood that Yang Ming wanted to give Wang Kejin some better medicine. So, she glanced at Yang Ming gratefully and then walked upstairs.
In any case, Wang Kejin was a member of her family and, therefore, was also her underling. Yang Ming cared about Wang Kejin because of Wang Xiaoyan’s face, so Wang Xiaoyan was very grateful to Yang Ming.
“Thank you!” Wang Kejin naturally understood that Yang Ming asked Wang Xiaoyan to take his medicine box because the medicine in the medicine box was better, and he wouldn’t simply use it.
Yang Ming waved his hand, looked at Wang Kejin, and said faintly, “Was your mission to kill me, or Wang Xiaoyan?”
“It’s… you.” Wang Kejin hesitated and did not conceal. Now, it seemed that Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan had a very close relationship. Since Yang Ming asked Wang Xiaoyan to go to the bedroom to take the medicine box, it proved that they lived together. That was to say, Yang Ming was Wang Xiaoyan’s boyfriend. Therefore, Wang Kejin did not hide the truth from Yang Ming’s questions. “However, the employer asked me to kill your girlfriend too… Of course, I didn’t know that your girlfriend is the Miss before this… Because what is written on the mission detail is to have me kill you and your girlfriend.”
As for Wang Xiaoyan being a Miss of a big family, Wang Kejin did not hide it. Their conversation was also heard by Yang Ming. Apparently, Wang Xiaoyan did not intend to conceal this. Wang Xiaoyan’s last words to Wang Kejin may be to hide the specific details of the Butterfly Family and the name of the family. So, Wang Kejin did not mention these.
Yang Ming nodded. It seemed that Wang Kejin was really here to assassinate without knowing anything. He only knew at the last minute that the target of the assassination was their Miss.
However, Yang Ming wondered who wanted to kill him and his girlfriend? Who had this hatred with him?
“Who is the employer?” asked Yang Ming.
“It’s unclear. The task was posted on the platform… We don’t know who the employer is.” Wang Kejin shook his head.
Yang Ming naturally knew about the procedure of posting missions on the assassin’s platform. Many missions were released anonymously, so Yang Ming did not doubt Wang Kejin.
Wang Xiaoyan brought the medicine box and handed it to Wang Kejin. Wang Kejin didn’t need help from anyone. He opened the medicine box, applied the medicine, and then wrapped the gauze with one hand.
This was the most basic skill of an assassin. An assassin needed to be able to bandage himself after an injury, because, in many cases, the mission was performed by one person alone. There was no other person beside him, so it was necessary to bandage himself after the injury.
After Wang Kejin properly bandaged it, Wang Xiaoyan spoke up, “Who sent you?”
“It was my instructor,” Wang Kejin said truthfully. “This was a mission received from the assassin platform. They wanted the organization to assassinate Yang Ming and his girlfriend. The information only contained Yang Ming’s information, but there is no information about his girlfriend. So, I didn’t know before that his girlfriend is you, Miss.”
“So, this is the case.” Wang Xiaoyan nodded after listening. Fortunately you took action when you met Yang Ming and me. If you took action when Yang Ming is with other women, then you will die directly. You will never have the chance to see me again. “Who is the employer?”
“The missions on the assassin platform are all released anonymously…” Wang Kejin smiled bitterly. “The organization will not ask this kind of thing either.”
“Okay, I got it. Cancel this mission and go back. Try to investigate the identity of the employer… Forget it. I will talk directly to my father.” Wang Xiaoyan said with a wave of her hand.
“Miss… I have another mission. I am afraid I can’t go back immediately.” Wang Kejin didn’t need to hide anything from Wang Xiaoyan, so naturally, he told Wang Xiaoyan that he still had a mission to do.
“There is another mission? What mission?” Wang Xiaoyan asked casually.
“It is a mission to assassinate Song Jiang’s underworld boss,” Wang Kejin replied.
“The underworld boss?” Yang Ming was subconsciously surprised in his heart, and then quickly asked, “Who is the target of the assassination?”
“This…” Wang Kejin was hesitant. Assassinations needed to be kept secret; they could not be said casually.
“If he is asking you, just say it. Why are you so hesitant?” Wang Xiaoyan glared and yelled impatiently at Wang Kejin.
“Yes, Miss.” Wang Kejin said quickly. Although Yang Ming’s identity seemed to be the Miss’ boyfriend, whether this identity was recognized by the family was unknown. So, Wang Kejin still had reservations about Yang Ming.
The assassins in the family were quite clear about Wang Xiaoyan’s matters. Wang Xiaoyan’s fiancé should be the apprentice of the King of Assassins, and Wang Xiaoyan left the family because she wanted to escape this marriage.
However, although Wang Xiaoyan had escaped, it was still unknown whether she could resist the fate of the family. Therefore, Wang Kejin had reservations about Yang Ming. Now, since Wang Xiaoyan had spoken, then Wang Kejin could no longer hide it!
The Miss’ words represented the second-highest power of the family, so Wang Kejin replied truthfully, “It is Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan; it’s said that they are the underworld bosses of this city.”
“What?!” Yang Ming previously heard Wang Kejin said that he had to assassinate an underworld boss, so Yang Ming had already guessed something faintly. At this moment, when he heard that Wang Kejin said that it was actually Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan, he immediately exclaimed, “You want to assassinate Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan?”
Wang Kejin was so puzzled by Yang Ming’s response, but he nodded and said, “Yes.”
“This mission is also canceled.” Yang Ming waved his hand. “You can go back.”
” Ah ?” Wang Kejin was a little dumbfounded. Yang Ming’s words were like orders. However, Wang Kejin frowned in his heart. You are just the Miss’ boyfriend. What power do you have to order me? Even the Miss can’t just cancel the mission casually, right? The previous mission involved the Miss, so it had to be canceled, but now this mission’s targets are only outsiders. How can I simply cancel it? Once it’s canceled, how can I go back and report?
“Cancel? This is impossible!” Wang Kejin said subconsciously.
“He asked you to cancel, then you just cancel it. Why is it impossible?” Wang Xiaoyan knew Hou Zhenhan and Bao Sanli. She met Hou Zhenhan and Bao Sanli when the Black Widow Assassin Group merged with Li Qiang and the others into the Black Butterfly Assassin Group. She also knew that these two people were working for Yang Ming. So at this moment, Wang Xiaoyan naturally stood on Yang Ming’s side.
“Miss…” Wang Kejin had some helplessness with Wang Xiaoyan’s words. “Miss, the previous mission involved you, so I have to cancel it. I can still go back and report it, but… if this mission is canceled, I can’t explain the reason… the master will not agree either!”
“Really? Then you have to go through me first.” Yang Ming’s eyes were cold as he spoke to Wang Kejin.
Wang Kejin didn’t know how well Yang Ming’s skills were. Before, he only fought against Wang Xiaoyan, and Yang Ming didn’t take action. However, it seemed that Yang Ming should know Kung Fu. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have a medicine box or the like.
“Miss, don’t make it difficult for me…” Wang Kejin was really overwhelmed facing Yang Ming’s threat. Fighting with Yang Ming obviously meant that he did not give face to Wang Xiaoyan, but… If he didn’t fight, Yang Ming would stop him from completing the mission…
” Shua –” A flying needle penetrated Wang Kejin’s right ear and directly opened a hole in his right ear.
” Ah !” Wang Kejin was shocked. Although he was just talking to Wang Xiaoyan, so he was a bit distracted, he didn’t even see how Yang Ming made the move!
If this flying needle pierced another position on Wang Kejin, then he would probably already be dead at this moment.
“Don’t do something that is beyond your strength.” Yang Ming said faintly, “You are a person in Yanyan’s family, so I am so polite to you. Otherwise, do you think you can stand here?”
Wang Kejin’s cold sweat came out. He did not doubt the authenticity of Yang Ming’s words. He did not expect Yang Ming to use a concealed weapon, and it was such a small concealed weapon.
For some top assassins, a concealed weapon was not unfamiliar to them, but most concealed weapons used mechanical means to succeed in shooting the target, just like a pistol. This kind of concealed weapon, which was purely hand-powered, is less common in today’s society.
Firstly, because throwing a concealed weapon demanded a lot of strength in the hand, it required rigorous training to make it possible. This was not the hardest thing. Many assassins were people who could suffer hardships.
But the second point was that not everyone could do it. That was the aiming of the throw! Perhaps, many assassins were sharpshooters, but if they didn’t rely on modern equipment, how could they guarantee their accuracy?
So in this way, many assassins would not spend a lot of effort to practice the throwing of a concealed weapon. In contrast, the use of firearms was more convenient. The problem could be solved with one shot. Why use a concealed weapon?
However, in many cases, in some public places, using a gun was not a good idea. If you could use the concealed weapon quietly to finish the target, it was a hundred times better than using a gun.
Yang Ming could simply throw out the flying needle in the blink of an eye. This seemingly simple technique was the level that many assassins couldn’t reach in a lifetime, especially with flying needles!
It could still be possible if the object were a dagger or stone, but the flying needle was so small and light. It was very difficult to throw it.
After Yang Ming showed this skill, Wang Kejin already knew that his mission was absolutely tricky to complete. Even if he waited for Yang Ming to be off guard, pretended to leave Song Jiang, and then turned back to assassinate the targets, then even if it succeeded, Yang Ming would definitely know that this was Wang Kejin’s work!
With Wang Xiaoyan in the middle, Wang Kejin could not hope to stay in the Butterfly Family anymore! So at the moment, Wang Kejin had a dilemma.
“Let’s do it this way. I will tell my father about this matter. Your plan will be suspended for these two days. After I get my father’s opinion, I will contact you again!” Wang Xiaoyan also knew about Wang Kejin’s dilemma as an assassin of the Butterfly Family. If he gave up the mission and went back directly, he would also be severely punished by the family. However, if there was a cause, and it was approved by the master, then there would be no problem.
“Thank you, Miss. This is the best!” When Wang Kejin saw Wang Xiaoyan mention a compromise, he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. However, the most important issue was still not resolved.
From the words of Wang Xiaoyan, Wang Kejin had already understood that the result of the matter was likely to be canceling the mission and letting him go back directly. But in this way, both these two missions were not completed, then would he still have the opportunity to be the apprentice of Master Tombstone?
However, the current situation did not allow him to make any rebuttal. He could only obey it.
“Okay, leave your contact information. I will keep in touch with you at any time.” Wang Xiaoyan didn’t want to delay time with Wang Kejin’s affairs. Today was the last night together with Yang Ming. She was unsure when she would next meet Yang Ming, so Wang Xiaoyan especially cherished it.
“Okay, my satellite phone number is…” Wang Kejin said his satellite phone number, and then got up and said goodbye to Wang Xiaoyan and Yang Ming.
Wang Kejin was a little frustrated as he left Wang Xiaoyan’s villa. He originally came to Song Jiang with enthusiasm. He wanted to complete these two missions perfectly, but he didn’t think that he could not finish even one of them. Was this fate? It seemed that he had no chance to be Master Tombstone’s apprentice.
” Pa .” A hand was silently placed on the shoulder of Wang Kejin. Wang Kejin was suddenly shocked, and he was scared until his hair stood up! How come so many strange things happened today?
“Who is it?” Wang Kejin exclaimed subconsciously!
