Since he made an appointment with Ling Lai to take action tomorrow night, Xiao Zheng simply stopped staying tonight and went back to the hotel to sleep. Be energetic enough to face a tough battle tomorrow.
When we got back to the hotel, it was already four o'clock in the morning. Xiao Zheng tiptoed open the door, only to find a figure standing beside the bed, looking at him with cold eyes. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "It's me."
Tina's sensitivity has reached an extremely strong level. Even if you are deeply asleep, you can wake up quickly. Of course, it is unknown whether Tina, like Lin Huayin, is also a woman who has trouble sleeping deeply. After all, he and Tina had a perfect understanding when performing tasks, but it didn't mean that he needed to eat and sleep with Tina.
At this point, Tina has always maintained a distance from Xiao Zheng. No overly intimate gestures.
"Why are you back?" After confirming that it was Xiao Zheng, Tina didn't take the initiative to turn on the light and asked Xiao Zheng in the darkness.
Lin Huayin will always keep a light on Xiao Zheng, but Tina has no such habit. On the contrary, whether Xiao Zheng came back or she lived alone in the room, she didn't like to turn on the light. This is related to her living environment all year round. It will be difficult to change for a while.
Perhaps to accommodate Tina, Xiao Zheng did not turn on the light, but walked straight back to the room and sat on the chair next to the bed: "I just met her daughter."
"Prince Ling Lainei?" Tina asked bluntly.
"You also know?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously.
"The royal family abandoned her. Even her mother despises her." Tina said calmly.
"But I saw a terrifying aura in her that maybe even Sophia didn't have." Xiao Zheng said meaningfully. "But unfortunately, she is still a cripple—no, paralyzed. She has been living in a wheelchair since she was a child."
"Paralysis?" Tina pursed her lips slightly. "I don't know that either."
"It seems that the royal family has done a good job of keeping this concubine a secret. I'm afraid she is also afraid that her disability will damage the reputation of the royal family, right?" Xiao Zheng said.
Tina didn't care about this, and asked calmly: "She found you?"
"Yeah." Xiao Zheng opened a bottle of mineral water. He nodded and said.
"What are you looking for?" Tina asked.
"Kill Ito." Xiao Zheng said in a deep voice.
"We were going to kill Ito. Why did she take the extra step?" Tina asked curiously.
"She hopes to increase her chances of winning." Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "It seems like she is more nervous about the success or failure of this mission than I am."
"Reason?" Tina asked.
"The reason Ling Lai gave is that Ito defiled the royal family and occupied her mother." Xiao Zheng pursed his lips and said. "As for the specific reason, I didn't ask, and I'm not interested in knowing."
Tina nodded slightly and said, "You can rest, I will monitor you."
"No need." Xiao Zheng waved his hand and said. "I will go to Ito's house with her tomorrow night. There will be no need to monitor her tonight."
"Are you going with her?" A look of worry flashed across Tina's face.
"Yeah." Xiao Zheng nodded.
"What if she and Ito join forces?" Tina asked worriedly.
Ling Lai and Ito join forces
Xiao Zheng frowned and fell into deep thought.
He had thought about this issue in Ling Lai's villa. Now that Tina mentioned it again, Xiao Zheng couldn't help but think about it again.
Judging from the available intelligence, Ling Lai and Shang Yao colluded - of course, this so-called collusion is not a negative description. In fact, what powerful person doesn’t have a few allies? Even if Lin Laoyao is at the peak of his powers, isn't he colluding with Chang Yishan
Secondly, this mission itself was brought up by Shang Yao. From a cost perspective, the price Shang Yao paid to convince herself to carry out the task was much more expensive than the 100 million pounds Sophia originally spent to hire herself.
If all this is a trap, then Shang Yao and Ling Lai have only one purpose - to let themselves die!
No matter how pretentious Xiao Zheng was, he was not so arrogant.
"Your worries can't be said to be 100% impossible." Xiao Zheng smiled slightly, walked to the window, and opened a corner of the curtain.
Everything needs to be kept absolutely low-key when performing the mission, even if you stay in a hotel, the curtains will be closed all day. Xiao is like this, and so is Tina.
This is also the reason why Xiao Zheng never mentioned the past with Lin Huayin. Too dark, too depressing. Xiao Zheng did not want this decadent and sinful life to shake Lin Huayin's mind.
"But when we perform a mission, how can we guarantee 100% safety?" Xiao Zheng looked at the dark night sky and pursed his lips. "At least based on our current situation, cooperation with Ling Lai is one of the most effective ways. The risk will also be minimized."
Tina listened to Xiao Zheng's story. After a moment of silence, she took the initiative and said, "What about me?"
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng turned around slowly and said with a smile: "Since Ito is being assassinated from the inside, you don't have to accompany me to infiltrate. After all, the more lurkers there are, the greater the risk will be."
"No." Tina's expression changed and she said firmly. "If you go in alone, even if you are sure to assassinate Ito, there are too many variables. Besides, according to my observation of this villa, there are at least thirty ninjutsu masters inside."
"I don't need to compete with them one by one." Xiao Zheng explained. "Once the assassination is successful, I will retreat immediately."
"Are you sure you can kill Ito with one strike?" Tina slowly stood up and stared directly at Xiao Zheng.
"No." Xiao Zheng shook his head honestly.
"Those senior ninjas will arrive at Ito's side in just a few seconds." Tina pursed her lips and said. "At that point, the question is not whether you are willing to confront them head-on. It is whether you have a chance to bypass them and successfully assassinate Ito."
Xiao Zheng was silent.
He knew what Tina said was true. It is basically certain that once there is a crisis in the villa, those ninjas lurking in the darkness will definitely arrive at Ito's side as soon as possible. What's more, in addition to these ninjas who are destined to interfere with the operation, there is also the unfathomable Yuki beside Ito -
Therefore, even if Xiao Zheng can successfully lurk around Ito, it will be extremely difficult to complete this mission.
"Only I can really improve your success rate." Tina said meticulously. "The assassination of an extremely powerful man does not rely on simple conspiracy or calculation, but on strength."
Xiao Zheng couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and joked: "Sister Tina, when did you become so confident?"
"Recently." Tina's eyes were clear, and a soft look flashed across her cold face.
It was Xiao Zheng who made her strong. It was also Xiao Zheng who made her fearless.
How can a fearless and powerful woman not be confident
Xiao Zheng stretched out his right hand and said with a smile: "It seems that we must fight side by side."
Snapped.
Tina stretched out her right hand and high-fived Xiao Zheng like brothers: "We are the best partners."
