The young man closest to Sun Zhiyuan immediately rushed forward when this happened.
But Huo Rou was faster, already behind Sun Zhiyuan, and kicked him to the ground.
"Save me, quickly!" Sun Zhiyuan stared intently at the people disembarking from the yacht; they were his last resort.
He struggled to turn his head. Despite his lungs being almost completely squeezed of air, his face was red with pride as he looked at her, "Huo Rou... die..."
Facing so many assassins from country Y, what if those mysterious special forces were powerful?
He hadn't expected that the money he spent could actually hire so many people. This Wu was truly generous in business!
Sun Zhiyuan waited to be rescued.
He knew Huo Rou wouldn't kill him out of personal vendetta, and became even more smug, spewing insults incessantly.
Upon seeing the approaching assassins from country Y, Cheng Huang and Qin Ningyi's eyes held a gravity far heavier than the overcast sky.
They led their men to meet them, ensuring Huo Rou could at least retreat safely.
"A Rou, take the others and go first!" Qin Ningyi shouted.
Cheng Huang glanced at the surrounding situation and added, "There's a path to the right!"
Sun Zhiyuan saw them facing a grave enemy and laughed even more wildly!
"Kill them! I still have money!" Sun Zhiyuan couldn't care about his wallet anymore; he just wanted everyone in front of him to die here now.
"Heh." Huo Rou suddenly let out a cold laugh, "You're really pinning your hopes on the assassins from country Y?"
Her icy gaze shifted from Sun Zhiyuan's face to the approaching crowd in the distance.
She had picked out all the famous assassins from country Y. Anyone daring to intercept people from her would have to weigh their options carefully.
When Sun Zhiyuan heard her question, he thought she was unaware of the assassins' prowess, "The assassins from country Y are world-renowned. Even if you can afford help from mysterious special forces, how can they compare to those people from country Y who live by the sword every day!"
"Huo Rou, surrender! Perhaps I can leave you with a whole corpse!" He could already envision Huo Rou and the others lying on the ground, dripping with blood. The blood would seep into the sea along the coast, wouldn't it? It sounded so beautiful!
Thinking of that scene, Sun Zhiyuan felt a surge of euphoria. He shook his arm, "Reattach my arm!"
Huo Rou looked at the man's fawning demeanor and narrowed her eyes in disgust, turning her gaze away.
The assassins from country Y, whom Sun Zhiyuan had praised to the heavens, stopped halfway, just two meters away from Qin Ningyi and his men.
"Kill them quickly!" Sun Zhiyuan urged.
Cheng Huang and Qin Ningyi, each with their men on alert, declared, "This is Chinese territory, think carefully!"
The people from the Jiang family muttered evaluations of the other party, secretly pulling out their hidden weapons where no one could see.
They didn't play by the rules...
The assassins casually crossed their arms, looked at them, then at Sun Zhiyuan, and said loudly, "They have too many people..."
"I'll pay more!" Sun Zhiyuan, afraid his previous words would be in vain, quickly raised his offer.
The assassins exchanged glances.
Huo Rou grabbed Sun Zhiyuan, as easily as if picking up a bag of trash.
She walked towards the assassins, her expression chilling.
"Some money is best earned after careful consideration!"
When the assassins heard her sweet and charming voice, they seemed agitated, their clamor growing louder.
"Sister Huo! You go first!" The young man was extremely anxious, "It's my fault. Punish me when we get back, just go quickly!"
The assassins opened their mouths slowly, "Sun Zhiyuan, right??"
Sun Zhiyuan's eyes lit up like a puppy's as he looked at them, nodding vigorously.
"Two billion."
"What?"
"Two billion, we'll help you..." The assassins paused, "Help you knock yourself out and have a good dream. What do you say?"
"You..." Sun Zhiyuan was furious that they were talking nonsense at this critical moment, panting heavily.
The assassins looked at the wary people in front of them and burst into laughter. Someone stepped forward, "Alright, alright, everyone relax! We're not here to cause trouble, we're here to join you! Traitors deserve to die!"
"The older brothers behind you, your intentions to use hidden weapons are written all over your faces! Put them away! They won't be needed!"
"Are you gentlemen soldiers?" he asked, looking at Cheng Huang and his men in camouflage, "We are law-abiding citizens! We don't do bad things!"
"Are you Qin Ningyi?" He turned to Qin Ningyi again, his eyes full of inquiry and scrutiny, "Hmm, you look a bit sturdier than in the photos, passable. Your eyes are a bit fierce though..."
After his speech, Sun Zhiyuan was completely dumbfounded.
Huo Rou, however, let out a helpless laugh.
"It's okay, everyone relax," Huo Rou said.
Only then did Sun Zhiyuan speak with a look of horror, "How do you know my name is Sun Zhiyuan?!"
He had contacted people through the dark web of assassins from country Y, and he had never told them his real name, only saying he was "Sun." How did the assassins from country Y find out his real name?
"Idiot!" The assassin exclaimed, "Why would I come all this way if I didn't know your name?!"
"Thank you for your trouble," Huo Rou smiled and nodded at him.
The man perked up, "A You! This time you have to give me a phone number, right? Our boss tried to contact you earlier but couldn't get through. We were worried about missing out, so we waited here."
"Are you okay?" He scrutinized Huo Rou, "Well, with your skills, no one should be able to get the better of you."
Sun Zhiyuan, seeing how familiar they were with Huo Rou, felt his hope completely extinguished.
"You..." he trembled, his eyes filled with despair, "know each other?"
The assassin laughed heartily, as if finding Sun Zhiyuan's despair not thorough enough, "Know each other? It's a life-and-death friendship!"
"You took my money!" Sun Zhiyuan roared in despair.
The assassin was displeased, "We didn't take anything. The one who took the money..."
He glanced back at the yacht, "is lying on the yacht!"
Sun Zhiyuan finally understood. These people were not the assassins from country Y he had paid for!
From the moment they heard his cries for help, they had been toying with him!
They watched him build up hope, only to dash all his hopes!
He couldn't escape.
Sun Zhiyuan's face turned ashen, his heart turned to dust.
The only organization capable of surpassing the Wu he had hired could only be the top assassin organization in country Y.
Huo Rou actually knew such people!
Getting into the car for the return journey.
Huo Rou threw Sun Zhiyuan at Cheng Huang's feet.
"Take him back and interrogate him." If this person remained in her hands, she feared she wouldn't be able to control herself and would kill him!!
"Dig out everything!" she clenched her fists, including the reason for his father's death in battle, and the shot Sun Zhiyuan fired...
Qin Ningyi's large hand enveloped her clenched fist with burning warmth.
Cheng Huang looked at her solemnly. All the men in camouflage stood at attention and saluted her, "Yes!"
Minister Zeng, who had just extended his leg out of the car, retracted it.
What had he just seen? That was a special forces unit!
Saluting Huo Rou?!
And so respectfully?!
