Chapter 407 - 407: Where Did The Assassins Come From?

The car weaved through the bustling streets, causing a cacophony of honks. Cars on both sides of the road gave way to the top-of-the-line luxury car that wasn’t following traffic rules.

There was no other choice. Judging by the car models, they knew the people in the car were either extremely wealthy or powerful, way beyond the reach of ordinary folks like them.

Refusing to give way would only lead to trouble later on, and they feared they wouldn’t be able to handle the consequences.

The black luxury car raced recklessly down the road.

Nan Yan, on the other hand, had moved from the front passenger seat to the more spacious back seat. She held a silver silenced pistol in her hand, her gaze cold and serene as she watched the vehicles closely following behind them.

The assassins, realizing they had been exposed, no longer bothered to conceal themselves and began openly pursuing them.

After colliding with several cars in succession, causing dozens of vehicles to crash in the ensuing chaos, Qin Lu led the assassins to the outskirts and stopped in a spacious area.

The two of them got out of the car, appearing empty-handed on the surface.

Their weapons remained concealed in the shadows behind their backs.

The assassins’ car screeched to a halt, parking opposite them.

Several men dressed in black, wearing smart glasses on their faces, got out one by one, lining up across from them.

Their numbers weren’t few or many—exactly six of them.

A synchronized click sounded as all six of them simultaneously armed their weapons and aimed them at the two individuals across from them.

Nan Yan calmly beckoned with her hand. “I’ll give you a chance to escape. Drop your weapons and confess, and you might get leniency.”

The six assassins: “???”

Did she have a screw loose in her head?

Right now, they were the ones under threat, yet she was talking about giving them a chance to escape!

The assassins were equally astounded.

Dropping their weapons was out of the question.

They had taken the job to kill these two people.

Only then would they be able to collect the final payment. They were so close to getting their hands on that large sum of money, there was no way they would let go now.

These six assassins weren’t the top-ranked assassins on the Assassin’s List, but even if one of the top ten assassins from the list saw Qin Lu here, they would definitely steer clear.

This is what they call fearless ignorance, daring to take on jobs even as reckless as this.

Nan Yan watched them, determined to resist to the end, and raised an eyebrow.

Her bold and provocative demeanor was chilling.

“Brother, your leg injury has just healed, and you shouldn’t overexert yourself.

Wait here; I’ll handle them.”

Qin Lu felt somewhat helpless.

But he could only massage his forehead in resignation and instruct her to be careful.

Seeing this, the six assassins quickly raised their hands, ready to pull the trigger.

No matter how skilled she might be, she was still human, and bullets were something to fear.

However, before they could fire, they found that their hands wouldn’t cooperate.

No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t pull the trigger; they couldn’t shoot!

What on earth was happening?

Qin Lu gazed affectionately at the little one by his side.

While the six assassins were clueless about the reason, he knew.

They were standing upwind, and the wind was blowing in their direction.

When Nan Yan raised her hand just now, she had released poison.

A colorless and odorless white powder had been carried by the wind to their side and inhaled with their breath.

With Nan Yan’s alchemical skills, it would take only a few seconds for it to take effect.

Before the six assassins could recover from the shock of their unresponsive hands, a gust of wind blew over, and they were immediately beaten to a pulp by the person who had suddenly appeared in front of them.

They cried out in agony, wailing uncontrollably.

“Where did you get the courage to come and assassinate my brother and me.

Nan Yan sneered, kicking the six incapacitated assassins into a row and then interrogating the person who had hired them.

The six assassins:

If they had known the target was this insanely strong, they wouldn’t have taken this job in the first place!

Nan Yan clicked her tongue, finding their courage laughable for supposed assassins.

They were a disgrace to the assassin world.

“Who placed the order to have you come and kill us?”

The assassin’s face was filled with terror. “The client didn’t reveal their identity, but they should be from China.”

These six assassins were from Southeast Asia, not native China citizens. They were short but agile and valued their lives.

“China…”

Nan Yan initially thought it might be related to the Seven Deadly Sins organization who couldn’t wait and sent someone to kill them. But she guessed wrong?

After questioning them for a while and reviewing the details of their mission, including the instructions they received, Nan Yan turned to Qin Lu and asked, “Brother, do you think it’s your enemies or mine?”

She hadn’t expected the other side to be so cautious. They used code names and disposable cards, and the mission was simply to take the lives of both of them. Aside from that, with her skills, she couldn’t find any other information.

It seemed like the other party was a very careful individual.

Standing beside her, Qin Lu replied calmly, “It should be my enemies.”

People who wanted to kill him were plentiful, whether they were from within the country or abroad. Usually, he had his shadow guards accompanying him, handling all the troubles.

However, this time, he had come back with Nan Yan and had given his shadow guards a few days off. Otherwise, these six useless assassins wouldn’t have even made it near him.

Nan Yan nodded in understanding. “Oh, I see. And what about them?”

“In a while, someone will come to deal with them, so we don’t need to waste our time.”

Just moments ago, he had notified Qin Yi that the shadow guards would return within two hours.

“Got it.”

The six pathetic assassins watched as the two people walked away hand in hand, thinking they had been spared.

However, they didn’t have much time to rejoice before another group of people captured them.

This time, their fate was truly miserable. They were better off dead than falling into Nan Yan’s hands…

Lately, when Old Master An and Old Master Lu had nothing to do, they would gather to play chess.

With Jiang Nai assisting them, Old Master An’s musical skills had surprisingly improved, and his chess skills had also improved significantly. He no longer made Old Master Lu so angry that he wanted to flip the chessboard.

“Grandpa, Grandfather.”

Nan Yan and Qin Lu walked slowly through the door, simultaneously exciting the two old gentlemen who had been engrossed in their game.

“Nan Yan, you’re back!”

“Nan Yan, you’ve finally returned!”

The two old men abandoned their chess pieces and approached Nan Yan together.

Qin Lu followed by Nan Yan’s side and also greeted the two old men.

Old Master Lu looked at him approvingly and praised, “Not bad, you’ve brought my granddaughter back!”

During this period when there was no news of Nan Yan, he had been driven to the brink of madness. It was Old Master An who had consoled him, assuring him that with Qin Lu by her side, she would be safe.

Qin Lu calmly accepted this compliment, his face showing no signs of blushing or a racing heart.

He didn’t mention that the little girl had the ability to handle everything herself.

It was rare to gain approval from the elders, and it would make things easier for him when he eventually married Nan Yan..
