Upon hearing this, Liu Fangfei’s expression changed, and she smiled, "Then thank you for that."
"How’s old Liu? How is he doing?" Ye Chenfeng asked offhandedly.
"He’s fine; you don’t need to worry about him."
"That’s good to hear, I’m leaving now!" Ye Chenfeng, fiddling with a lighter, sauntered off.
Only after watching Ye Chenfeng’s figure disappear did Liu Fangfei shift her gaze away, but her expression was grave, and her brow was fraught with worry.
"I hope you are alright!" Liu Fangfei murmured to herself.
Not long after Ye Chenfeng had left, an indifferent voice suddenly spoke up, "Miss Liu, I hope you see the situation clearly and don’t delay because of certain matters."
A man appeared in the apartment, his face pale as paper, and his lips carried a sinister smile—it was none other than the Think Tank.
"Think Tank, what are you doing here?" Liu Fangfei exclaimed in surprise.
"Miss Liu, there’s no need to panic. If I were intent on causing destruction, Ye Chenfeng would not have left so easily, and I wouldn’t have informed you about the assassin!" The Think Tank said with a smile, but the curve of his lips sent a chill through the spine.
Liu Fangfei watched him warily, "Then what are you doing here, Think Tank?"
The Think Tank chuckled, "I am just here to see for myself, and also to tell you something: the person who came this time is a legend in the Assassins’ World. No one has ever seen him, because those who truly have, are already dead. Moreover, he has a nickname, ’Thousand Faces’, aptly named for his ability to assume hundreds of identities."
Listening to the Think Tank’s introduction, Liu Fangfei felt a sudden sinking feeling in her heart.
"Thousand Faces?" Liu Fangfei asked incredulously.
"Yes, exactly. This time, the Prince has made up his mind to eliminate Ye Chenfeng. Mikako and the others are too incompetent, so the Prince has decided to take matters into his own hands," the Think Tank nodded.
Ye Chenfeng... Liu Fangfei silently recited Ye Chenfeng’s name in her mind.
"Miss Liu, put aside your scheming and look forward to your wedding with the young master of the Bai Family; if he finds out about all of this, you will surely suffer," the Think Tank stated.
"Why haven’t you told my adoptive father about all this?" Liu Fangfei suddenly asked, unable to hold back.
The Think Tank laughed, "Ha-ha, Miss Liu, that’s none of your concern."
Meanwhile, as Ye Chenfeng twirled the lighter, his mind was full of thoughts.
One reason was Liu Fangfei, and another was Wang Long.
Wang Long must have something going on, but he is a man of strong character; unless he contacts you voluntarily, there’s no hope of reaching him.
As for Liu Fangfei’s warning, Ye Chenfeng didn’t take it very seriously, but he still harbored a faint hope of seeing what kind of assassin it was.
After returning to the villa, the Chu sisters were not around; Chu Qingfei was busy with her own things during the day and came back in the evening.
Cracking a safe is essential training for a special agent, but Ye Chenfeng was too lazy to waste brain cells on it.
He punched it outright, forcefully denting the safe.
Then, Ye Chenfeng violently tore at the safe and finally managed to open it.
The contents were simple, comprising only a document and a small plastic bag, which contained nothing more than blackish residue.
Ye Chenfeng couldn’t wait to open the document, which turned out to be the formula for the Elixir of Life. To be frank, it was just a component display chart of the residue. According to the document, this residue was only a semi-finished product. There were several formulas, all with different ratios, indicating that this substance was still under experimentation, merely providing a few approaches.
However, upon a careful scan, Ye Chenfeng was taken aback because he realized these formulas were very similar to those recorded by Gan Luo. Of course, some ingredients were missing, and the proportions of various drugs were incorrect. But overall, this formula was a knockoff version of Gan Luo’s Elixir of Life.
Ye Chenfeng was greatly alarmed. Could it be that these residues were really left by the person who had killed Gan Luo and stolen the Elixir of Life?
Who is the boss behind Wang Long? To have such a thing, Ye Chenfeng was filled with doubt.
But now Wang Long had disappeared. No, Wang Long was definitely in danger. He had to send the God of Killing to find him.
Meanwhile, at Jiangnan prison.
The huge iron door opened with a loud bang, and slowly, three individuals walked out.
Among them, two were physically disabled—one with a prosthetic arm and one with a prosthetic leg.
Between the two was a middle-aged man, cultured and composed, with a remarkable poise. Especially after some grooming, he truly looked the part of a dashing uncle capable of causing many young girls to swoon.
"We’ve finally left!" the middle-aged man exclaimed as he looked at the closing iron door.
"My lord, our ride is here. We should leave quickly," said one of the disabled men beside him.
And this middle-aged man turned out to be the lord.
"Let’s take one last look," the lord said with a smile. "Take a good look too. If not for this place, we would have reported to King Yan long ago!"
To him, it seemed as if the prison had become a haven of refuge.
Ye Chenfeng was in his room pondering the matter of the Elixir of Life when he suddenly received a phone call from Chu Qingxue.
She wanted him to come to the company, saying there was a mission to assign.
"Thousand Lakes District? Why must I be the driver to take you there?" Ye Chenfeng curiously asked.
Because Chu Qingxue had hurriedly asked him to come to the company, it turned out she wanted him to drive her to the Thousand Lakes District
Chu Qingxue chuckled, "Because only if you take me can we avoid being followed by others. I don’t trust anyone else."
Ye Chenfeng was taken aback. Why did Chu Qingxue trust him so much? Had she discovered something?
Especially seeing the inexplicable smile at the corner of her mouth, Ye Chenfeng felt it was very likely she knew something.
"Let’s go. It’s been a long since I’ve been to the base; I’ve been afraid of being followed," Chu Qingxue said, giving Ye Chenfeng a flirtatious look.
Thousand Lakes District secret base.
Ye Chenfeng found the base to be cleverly designed, especially in conjunction with the protection system. This time they had changed coordinates, essentially making it feel like arriving at a new place altogether.
If someone rashly tried to enter the base, they might not only be disoriented but could probably end up captured.
The elite team saw Chu Qingxue arriving and couldn’t help greeting her.
"How’s everything I asked you to handle?" Chu Qingxue asked authoritatively.
"Other than the Jiang Group, we’ve collected all the data from other enterprises. Here are the organized files, Miss Chu," a representative handed Chu Qingxue a folder.
After taking the files, Chu Qingxue started reading them intently, and after finishing, she nodded and said, "You’ve done very well. When this phase is over, I’ll send you all on a group vacation."
