Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg

Chapter 1343: Chapter 1343: Caught Someone

It felt like the opponent was simply a pawn to confuse him, and the real target was likely Jiang Xue.

However, he had just checked the car, and there was nothing there. Where exactly was the problem?

Huo Cong was puzzled and fell into deep thought. Meanwhile, the assassin felt relieved upon seeing Huo Cong return to the car.

That was close. If Huo Cong had checked the underside of the car, he would have certainly found the bomb he had planted. If discovered, his mission would fail again.

Today, the higher-ups had dispatched three people, each a top-notch assassin. If all three failed, he wondered if the boss would be furious.

Furthermore, as an excellent assassin, he had never been defeated. Failure in the Jiang Xue mission would be a blemish on his record.

To ensure his life remained spotless, he had to complete this mission.

While thinking, he kept an eye on Huo Cong. After watching for a while and confirming Huo Cong wasn’t coming out, he relaxed completely and waited for Jiang Xue to get into the car.

He had already decided that as soon as Jiang Xue got into the car, he would detonate the bomb. This way, there would be no unexpected incidents, at most just some collateral damage to other cars and the life of a driver.

But at this moment, he couldn’t care about such details. As long as the mission was completed, he wouldn’t hesitate to use any means necessary.

Although Jiang Xue suspected there might be assassins mixed in at the hotel, she never imagined they would plant explosives in the car she would be taking.

At this moment, after saying a word to Shangguan Wenbin, she headed towards the parking lot.

The hotel’s parking lot was underground, and it took about ten minutes to walk there from the conference venue. Just as Jiang Xue was approaching the parking lot, Guo Dagang suddenly caught up.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, wait a moment!" Guo Dagang called out loudly to Jiang Xue as he chased after her. Hearing Guo Dagang’s call, Jiang Xue stopped and asked him, "Xiao Guo, what’s up?"

"Sister-in-law, our people caught a guy during their patrol, a small-time thug. From him, we learned someone paid him to go to the parking lot to divert a driver’s attention."

"What did you say?" Jiang Xue’s expression changed. If she remembered correctly, the only driver in the parking lot should be Huo Cong.

Why was she so sure? Because other attendees of the press conference either didn’t bring drivers or, if they did, the drivers left after dropping them off.

However, Huo Cong had told her he would wait in the parking lot. If she needed anything, he could be there immediately with just a call.

But now, Guo Dagang was telling her someone paid a thug to distract Huo Cong in the parking lot, which made Jiang Xue think more deeply.

She wondered why they wanted a thug to distract Huo Cong, what were they trying to do?

It was obvious they were still targeting her. After all, she had ruined their plans time and again, so it was no surprise they resented her.

Moreover, there were already two assassins at today’s press conference, yet they failed to kill her. Who’s to say there wouldn’t be a third?

Jiang Xue pondered, if she were the third assassin, what would she do?

"Sister-in-law, what’s wrong?" Seeing the changing expressions on Jiang Xue’s face, Guo Dagang couldn’t help but feel concerned.

Jiang Xue snapped back to reality, glanced at Guo Dagang, shook her head, and said, "I’m fine, I was just thinking of something."
