The Elite Assassin Becomes a Flat and Ugly Nerd! - Chapter 173

173 Two Life-and-Death Crises

“Do you still think you have the ability to kill me?” Shan Yue looked at the hothead in this organization and sneered disdainfully.

Seeing that he couldn’t win, the assassin frantically picked up the knife on the ground, turned around, and jumped out of the window, disappearing into the night.

Shan Yue did not chase after him. She quickly helped Dong Peng up and woke him up. “Uncle Dong, are you alright?”

“Shan Yue?” Dong Peng woke up and immediately thought of Dong Yan. He hurriedly shouted, “I’m fine. Is Yan’er alright? Hurry up and see Yan’er.”

“Uncle Dong, don’t worry. He’s fine.”

!!
Although Shan Yue said this, Dong Peng was only relieved after confirming it.

An hour later, Dong Peng’s assistant and a group of bodyguards arrived at the hospital. They immediately strengthened the protection and patrol of the ward. The remaining people were all sent to find the assassin.

However, only Shan Yue knew that no matter how hard they searched, it was futile. The identity of the people in the organization had to be kept absolutely secret. Once others discovered their identity, the only outcome would be death.

No one expected Dong Yan to experience two life-and-death crises in a day, and it was Shan Yue who saved him at the critical moment of both crises.

It was late at night. After Dong Peng arranged everything, he found Shan Yue outside the door. “Miss Shan, I apologize to you first.

“When you asked me for that piece of land in the afternoon, I actually hesitated. After all, it was the blood and sweat of my Dong family. I even suspected you, but now it seems that I really judged a gentleman by my own narrow-mindedness. Without you, Yan’er might have died twice. You saved him.

“From now on, no matter what you need, I’ll help you even if I have to risk my life. The Dong family will always welcome you!”

Seeing this, Shan Yue quickly nodded in greeting. “Uncle Dong, you’re being too serious. It’s my duty to do all this. Perhaps we’ll have a chance to cooperate in the future. At that time, we’ll be partners.”

“Haha, of course, there’s no problem with that.” At this moment, Dong Peng was even more curious about how this girl in front of him could support a company alone. However, uncontrollably, a question that others did not even dare to think about appeared in Dong Peng’s mind. Could she be an existence that surpassed Zhou Xuan?

In the latter half of the night, the assistant specially arranged a residence for Shan Yue, while Dong Peng continued to guard his son in the hospital.

At the same time, the dim orange light enveloped the entire room, giving off a special sense of mystery. Zhou Xuan sat on the sofa and lit the cigar in his mouth. He glanced sideways. “Is all this true?”

“It’s true.” The assistant on his right narrowed his eyes and nodded. “Miss Shan did save Dong Yan twice in a row. There’s no exaggeration in the internal information, but… isn’t this too much of a coincidence?”

“What do you think?”

“I don’t know.”

Wisps of smoke filled the air, accentuating Zhou Xuan’s sharp edges. He stared at the dim computer screen like a sword. It was shockingly everything that had happened to Shan Yue today.

[Fengye Mountain Racing, Shan Yue miraculously saved Dong Yan.]

[The assassination attempt at the Federal Hospital failed. At the critical moment, Shan Yue saved the situation.]

A cold smile appeared on Zhou Xuan’s face. Then, he extinguished the cigar in his hand. “In that case, send someone to keep an eye on her. If this Shan Yue is really so capable…” He didn’t say the rest, but everything was self-evident.

The tense atmosphere spread over the entire Federation’s central city. As expected, after a night of searching, Dong Peng’s men did not find any clues about the assassin. He seemed to have disappeared into thin air without leaving any traces.

In the morning, accompanied by the chirping of birds outside the window, Dong Yan opened his eyes and saw his father lying in front of his bed. He reached out and touched the wrinkles on Dong Peng’s hand, and tears subconsciously flowed from the corners of his eyes.

At this moment, Shan Yue had just ended her call with Zhang Huang. Since she was in Federal City now, she decided to go to Elder Zhang’s residence as a guest and thank him for helping Shan Xing last time.
