Chapter 407: 405 Assassination
Qin Hao fled in panic, hearing Luo Jingwei’s words behind him, he was even more agitated.
This woman actually dared to blatantly tease him like this, someday, he must bring her to justice on the spot.
Quickly, in this manner, a day passed calmly, and the mysterious person from the Golden Stone Sect did not appear again. Qin Hao stayed in the office, leisurely drinking tea and watching the girls coming and going in the company; this kind of life wasn’t bad at all.
After getting off work in the afternoon, Lin Yuhan still had some work-related matters to handle. The company had just moved to the Provincial Government, and everything was incredibly complex; naturally, she was extremely busy during this period.
Zhao Mengke, having nothing to do, also came to the company to play in the afternoon, so Qin Hao accompanied Zhao Mengke back home together.
The location of Fenghua Mansion is a bit remote and not in a prosperous area of the Provincial Government, but the environment in this part of the city is tranquil and has its unique scenic beauty. The new villa Qin Hao purchased is also not far from Fenghua Mansion. As it was still early, Zhao Mengke, feeling stuffy in the car, clung to Qin Hao’s arm and insisted on walking back home.
Qin Hao, unable to resist her clinging, had no choice but to agree. Along the way, Zhao Mengke started her crazy shopping spree mode again, and although the shopping street along the way was not very high-end, it was quite complete with clothing and groceries.
So, halfway down the road, Qin Hao already had two big bags in his hand.
It was peak time after work, the sunset hung low, casting Zhao Mengke’s shadow long and far. The golden afterglow fell on passersby, on the cars along the way, on buildings, coating the entire bustling Provincial Government in a golden hue.
From some residential buildings by the roadside, the faint aroma of food wafted onto the pedestrian street, making the whole city seem cozier. Zhao Mengke ran to Qin Hao’s side, sniffing the aroma of the food vigorously, then acting coquettishly said:
"Qin Hao, I’m hungry."
Qin Hao, with heavy bags in hand, also said with a bitter face, "Yeah, I’m hungry too. Let’s stop shopping and head home quickly."
However, Zhao Mengke glanced at a dessert shop not far ahead and said, "Oh, baby wants a little cake, go get one for me."
Qin Hao glanced at the cake shop ahead. Through the transparent glass window, various exquisite small cakes and pastries looked very appealing to girls.
"Didn’t you say you wanted to lose weight and yet you’re eating such sweet stuff?" Qin Hao gave Zhao Mengke a sidelong glance and said.
As soon as Zhao Mengke heard it, she pouted again, hugged Qin Hao’s arm tightly, and whined while shaking coquettishly, "I want it, I want it, I just want to eat, just this time, after eating I’ll continue to lose weight."
Qin Hao sighed helplessly, and Zhao Mengke chuckled and said, "Hehe, go on, quickly go on, I need to be full to have the strength to lose weight."
"Alright, I really can’t do anything about you." Qin Hao said, then pinched Zhao Mengke’s cheek and headed towards the dessert shop.
As soon as he entered, the unique sweet and soft aroma of the cake shop immediately enveloped him. Although the smell was a bit cloying, the sweet fragrance indeed brought a lot of happiness.
A sweet-looking, cute shop assistant immediately came over and said, "Hello, welcome. What would you like to order?"
Only then did Qin Hao remember that Zhao Mengke hadn’t specified what she wanted to eat. Going out to ask would be troublesome, so he pondered for a moment, then pointed at the delicate small cakes in the counter and said, "Give me one of each of these."
The shop assistant was stunned for a moment, not responding for a while. Qin Hao repeated it again, asking, "Is there a problem?"
"Ah! No, no problem, please wait a moment, I’ll get it ready for you right away."
Saying so, she quickly ran off. Qin Hao sat in the rest area waiting, and after a while, he felt a need to urinate, so he asked for the direction of the restroom and went to the bathroom in the dessert shop.
The sound of water splashing echoed in the men’s toilet, Qin Hao took a deep breath, feeling comfortable all over.
However, at this moment, a sharp, shiny dagger suddenly emerged from the toilet cubicle behind Qin Hao. It hesitated for a moment, as if deciding something, then viciously stabbed towards Qin Hao’s lower back.
At this time, Qin Hao had just tucked his stuff back into his pants, not even fastening his belt.
The dagger moved very swiftly, flashing with a fierce gleam, about to plunge into Qin Hao’s body, and the face of the person holding the dagger also showed a hint of complacency. At least until now, he hadn’t noticed a thing.
However, just as the blade’s gleam flickered, about to strike, Qin Hao’s body seemed like it had eyes on its back, twisting slightly, allowing the dagger to slide past his waist, and then he caught it with his arm at his waist.
The assassin’s face changed, twisting the handle aggressively, intending to turn the blade and cut Qin Hao in half.
However, the dagger was clamped at Qin Hao’s waist as if welded, firmly stuck there, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t move the handle an inch or pull the dagger out.
Qin Hao calmly fastened his belt, then smiled lightly with disdain.
From the moment he came in, he had sensed a faint perfume in the air. This scent was completely different from the air freshener in the restroom. At that moment, he guessed that there was more than a ten percent chance a woman was hiding in the cubicle.
It was only that Qin Hao hadn’t speculated that this woman was specifically here to kill him, until he turned around to urinate, and there was a strange murderous aura coming from behind.
Unlike typical assassins determined to kill, this murderous intent was very hesitant, seemingly probing as if killing was just a fun, intriguing game for her.
Without even seeing her face, Qin Hao had already judged.
One, this assassin was very unprofessional.
Two, her motive for killing was very simple, as if just to try it, and that was all.
Of course, in this world, often because it is simple, it is more cruel. Because they don’t really know how horrible their actions are. Like the one behind him.
Since you think killing is interesting and want to try it, then I will teach you properly: killing is not inviting someone to dinner, it requires blood.
With a snap,
Qin Hao deftly fastened his belt, and then, with a slight motion of his arm, the long dagger clamped at his waist broke with a sound.
His fingers pinched the broken half of the blade, instantly turned around, and it was already at the assassin’s neck.
Only at this moment did Qin Hao see the assassin’s true face before him.
Beautiful, cold, and alluring.
Her features seemed meticulously carved, flawless without the slightest blemish. Long, slanted sword-like eyebrows flew into her temples, exuding a heroic spirit.
