ROSGT **Chapter 153: The Killer's Murder Melody**
In the hotel room, Blood Fox stood up from in front of Lin Xiangfeng and prepared to leave.
Lin Xiangfeng, thinking of something, said with some concern, "You should know this kind of thing must be kept in the dark. I hope you won't reveal any information about me."
"Don't worry, I'm a professional." Blood Fox sneered. "Even if this mission fails and I'm captured, no matter how they torture me, I won't reveal your information. You can rest assured of that. My reputation in this business is well-known!"
"It's precisely because of your reputation that I sought you out!" Lin Xiangfeng smiled, "I'll be waiting for your good news, then."
"In a week at most, you'll hear about this guy's death."
Blood Fox's voice was devoid of any emotion as he left the hotel. Inside the private room, Lin Xiangfeng showed a slightly obsessive look.
"Hahahaha...hahahahahaha..."
He let out a string of unsettling, dry laughs. As an heir to a wealthy family, he wouldn't resort to such methods unless absolutely necessary. Hiring a killer was risky; if anyone found out, not only would he be implicated, but his family would also suffer. But he had no choice. He hated Ye Chui deeply, to his core. He felt that as long as Ye Chui was alive, he would be tormented. As a scion of a rich family, he had seen many sordid things and knew how to contact certain professionals. After a few days of searching, he finally found Blood Fox.
It was said that Blood Fox was quite famous in the world of assassins.
Spending 100,000 yuan to buy Ye Chui's life was worth it to him.
"Ye Chui, once you're in hell, I'll take good care of Xiao Nan for you..."
Lin Xiangfeng tilted his head, radiating a crazy glint as he muttered to himself.
On the street outside, Blood Fox walked among the pedestrians. He looked incredibly ordinary, like any other man you'd see on the street. But who would guess that this unremarkable man was a notorious assassin?
Blood Fox couldn't help but laugh at the thought.
"The person in the photo is just a cripple. This job should be easy," he thought. After accepting a mission, he habitually rated its difficulty from S to D.
"To kill this person... it's just a D-level task."
Blood Fox walked into a coffee shop, ordered a coffee, and found a corner seat. Seeing no one was paying attention, he took out a notebook and pen from his pocket and started writing.
He was writing a diary.
Blood Fox had a reputation for protecting his clients' information and would never disclose any details, even under torture. His rule was to take the secret to the grave. However, he had a habit of recording everything in his diary...
**Blood Fox's Diary, August 13th, XX year. Weather: Clear.
Today, I accepted a job to kill a cripple. The client is a wealthy young man named Lin Xiangfeng. This task seems simple. It's only D-level. First, I'll conduct a basic investigation of the target.**
Mouhe Village Community.
Early morning.
Fang Nan got up early. She was responsible for cooking for the studio members. While Fang Xi and Ai Wa were doing their morning exercises, she had to go to the market to buy groceries. Just like now, she murmured to herself about what to buy: "Chui needs to eat more nutritious food, and Shi Yu, the kid, needs to eat more vegetables, but she doesn't seem to like green food. This is tricky..."
Thinking like a housewife, Fang Nan walked toward the market. In the distance, a man casually glanced at her.
"It seems this woman is very close to the target," Blood Fox thought. "I've seen her pushing the target around these past two days. They must be lovers. Heh, that makes things easier!"
Blood Fox smiled coldly, having come up with a plan.
The target was a cripple and was always accompanied by this woman. It would be hard to make a move. So, he decided to use this to his advantage. He'd kidnap the woman and use her to lure the target to a secluded place. Then, he could kill him. A simple plan, but effective.
"How should I kidnap this woman?" Blood Fox chuckled. "I need to gain her trust first. How about a classic hero saving the damsel in distress?"
The simplest, most cliché method was often the most effective.
Soon, Blood Fox found a few idle hooligans in the area. He called them over and gave them instructions.
"Understood!" The hooligans agreed and walked toward Fang Nan.
"I'll have these hooligans harass the woman, and at the critical moment, I'll step in to save her. She'll surely have some goodwill toward me. I'll use that to lure her to a secluded place. Heh... this will work!"
Blood Fox thought as he watched the hooligans surround Fang Nan.
But things quickly took an unexpected turn.
"Smack!"
Fang Nan slapped the hooligan who tried to harass her.
"You're so young, yet you're learning to be a thug? Show me how you do it again?" Her voice carried across the street.
"And you, and you..." Fang Nan pointed and started punching and kicking the hooligans. "If I see you here again, you'll get more of this!"
The hooligans fled, whining.
Blood Fox was surprised. "I didn't expect... this woman isn't ordinary. This just got harder. The task might be C-level."
The hooligans' pleas echoed.
"Ma'am, we're sorry."
"We won't do it again. Please forgive us, ma'am."
"Ma'am, it was that man over there who told us to do this. He planned to be the hero. It's not our fault!"
Hearing this, Blood Fox's face changed. He turned and walked away.
Fang Nan chased after him. "Hey, stop! I'm talking to you, don't run!"
Blood Fox started running, with Fang Nan in hot pursuit.
"Didn't expect to get exposed like this. I was careless. There's a skilled person by the target's side!"
In no time, Fang Nan caught up and grabbed Blood Fox's shoulder. "Why are you running? Don't move!"
Blood Fox stopped, his eyes coldly assessing Fang Nan.
He decided to fight the capable woman!
But then Fang Nan's words left him stunned.
"Didn't expect you to use the hero-saving-the-damsel ploy to approach me. You're thoughtful." Fang Nan blushed. "But I already have a boyfriend, so I must apologize."
Huh?
What's going on?
Blood Fox quickly realized she hadn't caught on. She thought he was trying to approach her with a cheesy ploy.
Then... I'll go along with her misunderstanding!
"I fell in love with you at first sight. Even though I know you have a boyfriend, I can't help thinking about you every day!" Blood Fox said passionately. "I'm sorry. I thought the hero-saving-the-damsel tactic might win your heart."
"Oh my, are you serious? But I'm really sorry, I can't leave my boyfriend..." Fang Nan stammered, flustered.
What the heck? No one has dared to confess to me since I was eighteen!
Though she was already taken, being confessed to felt nice.
Seeing Fang Nan's reaction, Blood Fox was encouraged: There's hope!
He reached out to hold Fang Nan's hand, planning to deepen his confession and gain her trust.
He quickly grabbed her hand.
Then, the next second...
"Crack!"
The sound of a bone breaking.
Fang Nan apologized, "Oh no, I did it again out of reflex..."
Blood Fox: "..."
At a nearby hospital.
"This woman is dangerous. She broke my wrist. Is she warning me?" Blood Fox, with his wrist in a cast, pondered deeply. "This woman's threat is beyond my imagination. I should upgrade this task from C-level to... B-level!"
He walked out of the hospital, lost in thought.
Just then, he overheard two old ladies gossiping.
One said, "Have you heard about the family at XX Street XX? It's the address of Ye Chui's home, so Blood Fox immediately paid attention.
"What about that family?"
"They're incredible! I heard from their neighbors that it's the headquarters of an international crime organization!"
"An international crime organization? That's impressive!"
"Yes, about a week ago, police cars suddenly showed up, and there were helicopters and military trucks. You heard about that, right?"
"Yes, what's that about?"
"They all went to that family's house. The next day, the family was fine. Isn't that impressive? They must be a top-tier international crime group!"
"Oh dear, we better be careful not to provoke them."
Listening to this, Blood Fox's face turned grim.
He walked to a corner of the park outside the hospital and took out his diary.
**Blood Fox's Diary, August 15th, XX year. Weather: Clear.
I didn't expect this task to be so tricky. It's at least an A-level task, or possibly the first S-level task I've ever encountered...
I need to reconsider my plan.**
