Chapter 963 Shangguan Fei's Fear
Hearing the footsteps outside, Ji Xiuhan naturally knew that the bodyguards had arrived.
However, thinking about what had just happened, his heart was still pounding.
If it weren't for the arrival of the Wu family army, we might have really been defeated today.
His plan was so meticulous that he thought even a fly couldn't get through, but the old ox still managed to squeeze in and successfully break into the room.
If it weren't for the Wu family army being there, even if he had discovered Lao Niu, he and Lu Wanqing would have certainly died.
Because Lao Niu was carrying a bomb and was prepared to die.
He believed that once the bomb exploded, the entire hotel would be reduced to nothing.
Thinking hard.
Enraged, Ji Xiuhan immediately stepped forward, kicked the old ox so hard it rolled away, and then stomped on its back.
The hunchback on the old ox's back had actually disappeared.
"Thank you!"
Ji Xiuhan looked at the Wu family army, and his thank you came from the bottom of his heart.
The Wu family army saved not only his life, but also Lu Wanqing's.
Wu Jiajun smiled and shook his head, pointing to the corpse on the ground: "Hurry up and let your bodyguards in to dispose of the body!"
It was as if everything he had just done was nothing more than a casual, simple act.
Ji Xiuhan nodded, having gained a true understanding of the Wu family army. To be called an emperor was indeed extremely terrifying.
At his command, more than a dozen bodyguards rushed in.
Almost everyone who came in stared wide-eyed at the corpse on the ground, and then turned to look at the Wu family army standing next to Ji Xiuhan.
"President, this person is dead?"
The lead bodyguard screamed in alarm.
"Stop talking nonsense, dispose of the body quickly, clean up the bloodstains, and then prepare for the next wave of killers!"
Ji Xiuhan scolded.
"Is there going to be another wave?"
The bodyguards were all taken aback.
"Stop talking nonsense and do as I say. That person should be here soon. Even if you spot him, don't make a move. Just let him in!"
Ji Xiuhan gave another instruction.
"Let them in?"
The leader was greatly alarmed.
They were now filled with remorse; with so many people guarding downstairs, they had let Lao Niu break up—they were utterly incompetent.
If another assassin came, they would rush forward immediately and shoot them to death.
"Don't worry, no matter how many assassins come, they will all die today!"
Ji Xiuhan shook his head, then looked at the Wu family army with unwavering certainty in his eyes.
Everyone immediately felt a chill run down their spines and quickly replied, "Yes."
Then they all bowed deeply to the Wu family army, and then quickly put the old ox's body into a bag, carried it out, and wiped the bloodstains on the ground clean.
Just as everyone was preparing to leave, Wu Jiajun suddenly spoke up to warn them: "There's something else this person threw downstairs. Throw it into the sea as well. Be careful, it's a bomb, powerful enough to reduce this building to dust!"
All the bodyguards stopped in their tracks, their faces once again showing fear.
Even Ji Xiuhan's expression changed once again.
The bodyguards moved with lightning speed, quickly disposing of the bomb. They then took the bag containing the old cow's carcass and the bomb, headed straight for the beach, and threw it into the sea.
Little did they know that a person was lying in a hidden sandpit on the beach, having witnessed everything.
This person was none other than Shangguan Fei.
Shortly after the old ox came ashore, he also quietly arrived at the shore, lying in wait for the best opportunity.
He thought that a great battle would inevitably take place on the island, alarming the entire island, and then he could take advantage of the chaos to sneak into Ji Xiuhan's hotel.
Even without a major battle, as long as Lao Niu succeeds in killing Ji Xiuhan, the island will be in chaos. He can then take the opportunity to kill Lao Niu and seize the heads of Ji Xiuhan and Lu Wanqing.
These are two contingency plans he made, and he is fully prepared for either scenario.
No matter what, he was determined to get Ji Xiuhan and Lu Wanqing's heads and the 1 billion bounty.
However, everything turned out differently than he expected.
The island remained quiet. Old Niu went inside for more than ten minutes, but there was no sound from him.
Not long after, he saw several bodyguards dragging a bag toward the beach and throwing the bag into the sea.
Shangguan Fei's heart was pounding wildly.
Without a doubt, the assassin Ren Tuo is dead, killed by Ji Xiuhan, and his body was even thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
"Who exactly is this Ji Xiuhan? How did he really kill the assassin Ren Tuo, or did he do it so quietly?"
Should I continue?
This situation was completely beyond his expectations.
Old Niu was killed without a trace. There was no doubt that either he had fallen into a trap set by Ji Xiuhan, or he had encountered a stronger expert.
As far as he knew, no other super assassins had entered the island, so Lao Niu's death was caused by Ji Xiuhan.
The thought of killing Lao Niu silently filled Shangguan Fei with unease and dread.
However, he quickly made up his mind again.
"Ji Xiuhan killed Lao Niu, so he will definitely think that this was the last wave of assassins and that no one else will come. Even if he finds out about me, he will think that I will not dare to make a move again."
This would inevitably lower his guard, or even cause him to fall asleep peacefully, giving me the opportunity to kill him!
"But no matter what, now that I've accepted this task and am here, I'm going to give it a try myself."
If the assassin Ren Tuo can't kill someone, then I, Shangguan Fei, might be able to kill someone too.
Besides, since I debuted, there has never been anyone in this world that I, Shangguan Fei, cannot kill.
Whether Ji Xiuhan is human or god, he must die today.
What's more, this time the bounty is a billion!
Once the mission is complete, I can retire from this life, go back to my hometown, or live in anonymity and enjoy the rest of my days!
"Besides, if I back down now, this matter will surely spread throughout the entire assassin world, and my reputation will be completely ruined!"
After much deliberation, Shangguan Fei gritted his teeth and decided to continue the mission.
For these top assassins, reputation is of utmost importance; they absolutely cannot desert their posts and ruin the reputation they've built up over decades.
Another half hour passed, and it was now close to 3:30 a.m., the perfect time to make a move.
He was dressed almost like an old ox, in black clothes, and crept slowly toward the hotel, close to the ground.
On the other side, Hu Jinlong had been pacing back and forth in his room ever since Shangguan Fei left, anxiously waiting for news.
Suddenly, his cell phone rang.
Upon checking the caller ID, it was none other than that man's phone number.
Hu Jinlong frowned deeply. That bastard called again; this was the fifth time.
After the call connected, an impatient voice came from the other end: "It's already two or three in the morning, why are there still no results?"
