Chapter 808: Chapter 808: Zhao Yanran’s Background
If things go as expected, these three assassins, seeing things turning unfavorable, should have already fled. After all, in Yanjing, gunfire and assassination are definitely considered major incidents, and the police are highly efficient. If they fail to kill the target, they must retreat within three minutes, or escape is impossible.
If it weren’t for worry about Zhao Yanran’s safety, Ye Shikai wouldn’t have needed to retreat just now. With his skills, even facing twenty more wouldn’t be a problem, yet she still rebuked him…
Just thinking about it makes him furious.
“I didn’t expect someone would dare to openly fire in the hospital.” Zhang Ting and several colleagues stood at the hospital room door, looking at the iron door turned into a sieve, faces heavy with concern.
“Once the gunshots rang out, the hospital evacuated urgently. The culprits probably took advantage of the chaos to slip away.” Ye Shikai sighed. There were no signs of assassins in the hospital room; surely the remaining two assassins saved them.
Thinking of this, Ye Shikai felt some regret. If they could catch one assassin, they might extract some information, at the very least, find out who wants Zhao Yanran dead. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel⦿fire.net
“Since you encountered them, that’s good. Don’t bother making records for anyone.” Zhang Ting said lightly. As the police arrived, the previously evacuated medical staff and patients returned, and under the dean’s command, medical work returned to normal.
“By the way, where’s Zhao Yanran? Can you tell me now why the targeted person left?” Zhang Ting pulled Ye Shikai into a corner and asked.
Ye Shikai helplessly had to narrate the whole thing thoroughly; Zhang Ting, being familiar with big scenes, wasn’t surprised at Ye Shikai’s account of the cultivators.
“So she still hasn’t told you who’s trying to kill her.”
“You could say that. Behind Zhao Yanran, there’s definitely another power involved.” Ye Shikai showed deep thinking, holding his chin.
“Also, aren’t you on the Special Investigation Unit? Why did you come over, shouldn’t there be other officers responsible?” Ye Shikai asked casually.
“Afraid you’d not believe it, I happened to be nearby, received the alert, and rushed over immediately.” Zhang Ting said proudly, “I broke my record for fastest arrival.”
“No wonder you arrived so quickly.” Ye Shikai remarked casually.
“Haha, the assassins met me, they were unlucky.”
“By the way, where were you? So close to the hospital.” Ye Shikai curiously asked.
“Right at the timber market.” Zhang Ting instantly replied, “I mentioned your thoughts in the Special Investigation Unit, and Tianjing immediately took people to the timber market.”
“You… why are you so loose-lipped?” Ye Shikai flared up upon hearing this, his face displeased.
“What’s wrong? We’re on the same Special Investigation Unit, can’t we discuss your ideas together?” Zhang Ting seemed a bit guilty, as that was Ye Shikai’s plan, just directly revealing it is somewhat disrespectful, right?
“Oh, you think I’m angry over such a trivial matter?” Ye Shikai sighed, “It’s just, Tianjing’s reckless move might alert the demons. If they sense something amiss, they are very likely to escape.”
“So that’s it, sorry, I was too rushed.” Zhang Ting understood Ye Shikai’s intention and suddenly felt she’d made a mistake, blaming herself.
“Forget it.” Ye isn’t likely to be hiding in the timber market, nor do I have absolute certainty. Perhaps Tianjing’s commotion might yield better results.
“The handgun bullet caliber is rather large; from the bullet holes, it should be a large-caliber pistol like the M1911.” An investigation expert handed the report to Ye Shikai, “Truly surprising, such pistols are rare in Yanjing.”
“Indeed, there are over twenty bullet holes on the door, directly making it a sieve.” Ye Shikai looked at the pictures in hand, speaking lightly, wondering what power could possess so many weapons in Yanjing.
“By the way, how did those three assassins disguise themselves to infiltrate?” Ye Shikai asked curiously.
“I don’t know, according to the hospital, it’s highly likely they brought their own disguises. They questioned all the medical staff and encountered no suspicious individuals. As for Miss Zhao’s room, perhaps they’ve already investigated it.”
“This is really tricky.” Ye Shikai recalled that those female assassins were cultivators, although not highly skilled, their assassination techniques were high, obviously from an assassin organization.
“Have you found Zhao Yanran?” Ye Shikai asked Zhang Ting with curiosity.
“No, I’ve already dispatched all officers, haven’t found her yet.” Zhang Ting shook her head, sighed, and couldn’t help blaming, “It’s because of you, at the time, if you held onto her tightly, she wouldn’t have disappeared.”
“Who knew it would turn out .” Ye Shikai felt very remorseful; Zhao Yanran was indeed a target for assassination; he shouldn’t have let her leave alone.
“Mr. Ye, Miss Zhao has arrived.” At this moment, a member of the National Security Bureau came over to inform the two.
“What, quickly take me to her.” Ye Shikai was shocked by these words; Zhao Yanran surprisingly came over herself.
“Miss Zhao, can you tell me the full story now?” Ye Shikai asked coldly, “Who exactly wants to kill you.”
“I’d like to talk to you alone, would you mind asking her to leave first?” Zhao Yanran glanced at Zhang Ting, speaking lightly, which angered Zhang Ting, as this is the National Security Bureau, and Zhao Yanran is directly involved in this shooting, and currently under interrogation.
“Zhang Ting, please step out.” Ye Shikai glared at her, and though she was unwilling, she still left the interrogation room, and before leaving, didn’t forget to glare fiercely at the two.
“Alright, you can speak now.” Ye Shikai said lightly.
“I can talk about it, but you must promise to keep it absolutely confidential.” Zhao Yanran glanced at the closed camera, speaking coldly, in an unquestionable tone.
“I can do that. Actually, even if you don’t say it, I won’t tell others.”
“Well, I’m not just the owner of the Crown Wedding Company.”
“I guessed that long ago.” Ye Shikai waved his hand, “A wedding company owner couldn’t possibly be hunted down. What I want to know is your hidden identity.”
“Do you know there’s an underground market in Yanjing, commonly known as the black market?”
“Of course, I know.” Ye Shikai heard some things about this black market from Luo Shiqi, things sold there are rare items that cannot be bought even with money, even some cultivation resources can be bought there. Luo Shiqi, as the queen of the Underworld, is naturally very familiar with it.
