Chapter 118 - 115: Assassin’s Heart! (3/5)_1
"Since you two followed him here to find us, you must have considered the consequences. However, I’m a man who clearly distinguishes between reward and punishment! Now, I’ll give you a chance. Tell me the secret to Xu Tao not being harmed. Whoever speaks first, I won’t personally kill!"
Upon hearing this, the two immediately exchanged glances and then rushed to speak.
"It’s binding a teammate!"
They spoke in unison, almost simultaneously. But thanks to Chen Mo’s perception ability, he still identified who spoke first.
"The one on the right, you were a fraction of a second too slow. Too bad."
The moment Chen Mo finished speaking, the professional he’d singled out showed a terrified expression. "No..."
The next moment, a strong, scorching red light suddenly burst out beside him, accompanied by two loud BANG! BANG! noises.
The man didn’t even have time to scream before he was instantly blasted into a charred corpse, dead on the spot!
Seeing this familiar charred corpse, Yan Yingyue instantly recalled her encounter with Xiao Ru. A similar explosion had occurred in the woods back then. When she had turned back, she only saw the red light from the explosion dissipating among the trees. It seemed like something charred had fallen from the trees then, but she was too far away to see clearly, so she hadn’t mentioned it. At the time, she hadn’t known what happened. But now, she understood. No wonder Chen Mo had told her and Lady Wu not to go check. It turned out Chen Mo had caused that explosion.
In that instant, Yan Yingyue understood why Xiao Ru had been alone in that part of the woods. She had been bait to lure in passersby, while the real Assassin was hiding in the trees.
