Chapter 343 - 341: Turbulence
Bai Zhiqing’s encounter with an assassin on the pedestrian street was ultimately kept under tight wraps by the police, with not a hint of it leaking out. Even though there were many onlookers, nobody would believe such a story without official confirmation. At most, it would just become casual dinner conversation.
However, for Ye Futu, today was an excruciatingly long day. Bai Zhiqing faced repeated assassination attempts, a fact that underscored the police’s impotence, especially since it happened in a bustling downtown area. The pressure on him was immense.
In the office, Ye Futu had lost count of how many cigarettes he had smoked; the room was filled with swirling smoke, and the ashtray was brimming with cigarette butts.
Standing in front of him were Xue Bing and Zhao Shan, both looking serious and grave.
Looking at his two trusted subordinates, Ye Futu took another deep drag of his cigarette and slowly began, "Did you say that both assassins targeting Bai Zhiqing are dead?"
"Yes."
Zhao Shan nodded, taking the lead, "By the time we found them, both assassins were dead. One of them seemed to have had his chest crushed by a fist, his heart pulverized by hand, and died cleanly—as there were no signs of struggle at the scene, it was likely a fatal blow. At the location where we found the female assassin’s body, there were similarly no signs of excessive struggle. However, it was clear that this female assassin had been brutally tortured before her death; her entire arm was almost skinned to the bone with some sharp instrument. Additionally, both assassins had dilated pupils at the time of their death, as if they had seen something horrifying. From this, we suspect that the person who killed these two assassins may have known them, instilling fear and respect in them."
"Hmm."
Ye Futu nodded and turned to Xue Bing, "Xiao Bing, let’s hear what you’ve found."
