Ye Wangchuan could immediately see the ill intentions hidden behind the hesitation of the man in front of him. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked in the direction of Qiao Nian.
The girl didn't know if she noticed anything was wrong. She just stood there casually with her legs crossed. She raised her hand and pulled the collar of her sweatshirt. Her slightly cold chin hidden under her clothes showed no emotion.
"Oh, so you've been waiting here for me."
"… "
Ye Wangchuan raised his eyebrows and looked at her again.
No. 15 couldn't figure out what she meant, so he mumbled, "The Second Elder has done me a favor. He heard that I was going to represent the Three Nine Sects in this treasure hunt, so he came to me and mentioned you to me, asking me to take good care of you."
“Although I’m just a small person, I know I should repay anyone who has done me a favor. So…” Maybe it was because Qiao Nian’s gaze was too sharp, his throat was slightly blocked and he almost couldn’t speak.
Qiao Nian stood at the door with her hands in her pockets. Seeing him stop, she raised the corner of her lips and urged him, "Go on."
No. 15's scalp tingled: "So don't worry, Miss Qiao, I will definitely stand on your side."
"Oh." The girl leaned lazily against the door, her shadow was sharp, and it was hard to tell whether she believed him or not.
But now that has come to this.
No. 15 had no choice but to go to the next step: "Ms. Qiao, don't you want to check on No. 9? He hasn't woken up yet."
"I heard from the Second Elder that you have medical skills, how about you help him?"
After he finished speaking, he felt unsure.
I don’t know if Qiao Nian will be fooled.
Just when he was hesitating, he heard the girl's heavenly voice.
"Okay, let me take a look."
No. 15 was pleasantly surprised to see that the other party had put away his carefree attitude and walked towards them without any defense. He half-crouched beside No. 9 with his hands behind his back, as if he wanted to check on No. 9...
Boom boom boom. His heart was beating fast, knowing that opportunity would not wait for anyone.
No. 15 had almost no hesitation. Just as the girl hooked her neck and lowered her head to reach out to check on the unconscious man on the ground, his hand touched the pistol on his waist.
At that moment, the black muzzle of the gun was pointed at the person who was very close.
It's impossible to miss the target if you shoot from this distance.
It will definitely take Qiao Nian’s life!
There was a hint of nervousness in his eyes and a trace of regretful smile appeared on his face, as if he was sympathizing with the young life that was about to be lost.
But true.
The order he received was that it would be best to get the Tsar's blueprints before taking action. If he couldn't get them, he would have to take emergency measures and save Qiao Nian's life!
That is to say.
He received only one order—Qiao Nian must die!
A trace of pity flashed across the man's turbid brown eyes like a meteor. What a pity, she was such a pretty oriental woman.
His finger was already on the trigger, pushing down hard—
These were just a brief moment, and Qiao Nian did not seem to feel the slightest danger. He kept his head down, exposing his vulnerable back completely, and was checking the person on the ground.
“Bang!”
A dull gunshot.
She raised her eyes and saw that the man who had just said "The Second Elder has done me a favor" and "Although I am a small person, I also know how to repay a favor" had a cut on his head. His face was full of disbelief, and his whole body instantly lost strength. The gun in his hand fell to the ground with a snap, rolled twice, and rolled to Qiao Nian's feet, like a silent irony.
He saw the girl pick up the gun at her feet with her cold white hands, and said to the man behind her without turning her head: "26. You win."
