Chapter 292: Chapter 292: Are You Talking About Me?
Yang Xiaofu and Wu Jingyi nearly screamed in fright.
They sprinted to the window, just in time to see Wang Chenning leaping down from ledge to ledge like a nimble monkey before vanishing into the darkness.
"That guy... he’s got some serious nerve, daring to jump down like that!" Yang Xiaofu patted her chest, still shaken. "That scared me to death!"
"His skills are incredible—more agile than a monkey!" Wu Jingyi looked equally shaken, her face pale. She quickly grasped Wang Chenning’s intentions. ’He must be off to do something top secret. He doesn’t want anyone to know his whereabouts, and he needs us to provide cover.’
"Right!" Yang Xiaofu agreed with Wu Jingyi’s analysis, adding emphatically, "We’ll do as he said. We’ll wait until he gets back to go to sleep."
"Let’s get to it," Wu Jingyi said. She also considered another possibility: ’Wang Chenning is using this to test us.’
She didn’t want to disappoint Wang Chenning, so she gave Yang Xiaofu a few extra instructions, telling her not to breathe a word of what just happened to anyone.
"I know!" Yang Xiaofu shot Wu Jingyi an irritated glare. "My relationship with Wang Chenning is way closer than yours."
"Have you no shame!" Wu Jingyi shot back, just as annoyed. "The way you talk, you’d think you two were already a couple!"
Yang Xiaofu froze for a second, then her anger flared. "What I have with him is none of your business!"
Wu Jingyi retorted, not backing down, "He’s my master. How is it not my business?"
Yang Xiaofu dismissed Wu Jingyi with a snort, then delivered another jab. "Whatever. Your hopeless fantasies are never going to happen. Wang Chenning would never fall for you!"
After saying this, Yang Xiaofu suddenly had a realization. ’Arguing with Wu Jingyi just lowers me to her level.’
When she saw Yang Xiaofu ignoring her, Wu Jingyi didn’t say anything further and went about her business.
Yang Xiaofu and Wu Jingyi had guessed correctly. Wang Chenning did want them to provide cover for him, but he also wanted to test their loyalty.
If no one else learned about what happened tonight, they would be worthy of more of his trust.
If word got out that he had jumped out the window, then he would have to keep his distance from them in the future.
By the time Wang Chenning slipped out of the hotel, Wu Ziyue was already waiting for him nearby.
Wang Chenning immediately spotted Wu Ziyue’s car. Wu Ziyue didn’t ask any questions; as soon as Wang Chenning was inside, she floored the accelerator and sped away.
"Is everyone ready?" Wang Chenning asked Wu Ziyue.
"All set," Wu Ziyue nodded. She then asked Wang Chenning who he planned to team up with.
"Have your Duke of Thunder go in with me. The rest of you can just provide cover from the outside."
"Okay." Although Wu Ziyue felt Wang Chenning was being a bit arrogant, she knew this wasn’t her decision to make, so she didn’t say anything more.
When Wu Ziyue brought Wang Chenning to their temporary command post, it was exactly 9:30.
Hearing the car’s engine, Lei Danyun immediately came out to meet them.
She got straight to the point, briefly explaining her plan to Wang Chenning before asking him who he intended to team up with.
After listening to Lei Danyun’s plan, Wang Chenning shook his head, rejecting it. "It doesn’t need to be so complicated. Just have your subordinates provide cover. Once the operation begins, you’ll come in with me. You’ll be my assistant."
"No!" Lei Danyun rejected Wang Chenning’s proposal. "That’s too dangerous. It’s not that I’m afraid to risk my life, but we have to guarantee the mission’s success."
"As long as I’m here, you have nothing to worry about." Wang Chenning conceded a little, pointing at Wu Ziyue. "Fine. You and her will work with me. Too many people going in will just cause problems."
As he spoke, Wang Chenning flicked his wrist. A silver needle shot out, tracing a silver line through the air before embedding itself in a nearby iron door with a sharp PING.
The needle sank deep into the metal, its end quivering back and forth. It glinted under the lights, catching the eye.
This casual display of skill from Wang Chenning stunned everyone present. The color drained from the faces of all who witnessed it.
’If that needle had been aimed at a person instead of an iron door, it would have gone straight through them. Hit a vital point, and they’d be dead instantly.’
’This guy’s power is terrifying!’
"Alright. Lark and I will work with you." Lei Danyun took a deep breath, finally agreeing to Wang Chenning’s request.
Only she and Wu Ziyue would assist Wang Chenning, while the others would provide support from the perimeter.
Lark was Wu Ziyue’s codename. On their team, many didn’t even know each other’s real names, usually just using codenames.
Humbled by Wang Chenning’s skill, Lei Danyun revised the plan. She and Wu Ziyue would infiltrate the target’s residence with Wang Chenning, while the rest provided support.
This arrangement freed up six people. Lei Danyun used them to set up an additional sniper position and an extra support squad.
With the plan revised, everyone departed one by one for the destination.
-----------------
In a high-end, lakeside residential district in the city center, inside a villa with a rather classical feel, a beautiful woman in a kimono was playing the zither.
The woman, her hair in a traditional bun and wearing light makeup, was quite beautiful. Her hands, gracefully plucking the strings, were also lovely to behold.
The music was beautiful as well. Her rendition of "White Snow in Sunny Spring" had a charm that seemed to linger in the air.
But no one would ever guess that this unreasonably beautiful woman, who radiated an aura of classical grace, was in fact a cold-blooded killer who murdered without batting an eye.
There was another woman in the room, equally beautiful, but also incredibly seductive. Her allure radiated from her very core, from head to toe. With her silken, alluring eyes, she was more bewitching than a siren, and almost no man could resist her charm.
She too was a deadly killer. Born with a natural seductive charm, her every expression could make a man’s body go limp, leaving him utterly unable to resist.
The woman with the silken eyes sat cross-legged on the floor, brewing tea. Her movements were exceptionally graceful, her skill in the tea ceremony no less than Wu Jingyi’s.
Brewing tea while listening to the zither—it was an incredibly romantic scene. A pity there was no man to enjoy it with them.
"Meiyu, they must have canceled their plan. They’re scared!" After the music stopped, the zither player pressed her hands on the strings and smiled at the woman brewing tea. "Why don’t we turn in early? I haven’t been sleeping well these last two days, and I’m a little tired."
"Let’s finish this pot of tea and I’ll listen to one more piece, then we’ll go bathe," the woman called Meiyu said with a seductive smile and a soft voice. "Since they didn’t come to bother us tonight, we can relax a little. I’ll help you wash up. Tonight, Yamamoto Chiru, I’ll be your man!"
"Be the man if you want to," the woman called Yamamoto Chiru replied, her eyes curving into crescents as she smiled. "When we finally catch a decent man, we can both go back to being women!"
"You’re terrible! Who wants some smelly man?" Meiyu chided with a laugh. "You little minx, are you not satisfied with me?"
"No matter how good your ’technique’ is, you’re still a woman!" Yamamoto Chiru giggled. "Why don’t we kidnap that Huaxia doctor sometime and have him... service us, just once? I heard even those two women from the Shanxing Conglomerate are captivated by him. I’d love to experience for myself if he’s really that good!"
"Are you talking about me?" a man’s voice suddenly rang out.
