“Are all six of them dead?” Jian Ai asked.
Xiao Zhen nodded. “I’ve already melted the corpses.”
Jian Ai couldn’t help but sigh.
Back then, she asked Yun Buyao to wipe the killer’s memory in the Maldives and let him live. She did not expect to kill six people this time.
However, she was not in the mood to feel sorry for others’ lives. She was more worried about Bai Zhou.
!!
Jian Ai looked up at Bai Zhou and said with a solemn expression, “It seems that the other party has completely grasped your movements. Previously, we guessed that the other party attacked in the Maldives because they didn’t dare to attack while in China. Now, the person behind these wants to kill you at all costs. From the looks of it, they can’t wait to take your life. We’ve only been back from the Maldives for a month, but the second assassination already happened.”
Bai Zhou lay in a corner of the sofa, his handsome face filled with pity and helplessness. He looked at Jian Ai and blinked. “But I don’t know who it is. I’m so good-looking, yet someone can bear to kill me!”
Chi Lian immediately frowned and said, “Didn’t you speculate it might be someone from your country’s royal family?”
Bai Zhou shook his head. “I’m just guessing. Even if it’s someone from the royal family, I have so many brothers and uncles. I don’t know who it is.”
Chi Yang also said with a serious expression, “The Qiusi royal family is complicated, and power intersects. Master is considered a clear stream among them because he doesn’t want the throne or power. He already left Qiusi, so it’s hard to imagine that any of these people have a reason to pursue him!”
Qiusi was the only remaining monarchy in the world. Just like the ancient dynasties in China, they divided the royal family into various factions to check and balance each other in order to inherit the throne. Assassinations were endless.
However, Bai Zhou was different. After he awakened his prophet abilities, he only wanted to serve the ancient sect master. He had no desire for power or money. Now that he was far away in China, he should be the least threatening.
Jian Ai was not someone who would make wild guesses. Without evidence, there was no need to rush to a conclusion. Bai Zhou’s safety was what she was most worried about, and the only way to resolve this matter was to investigate it thoroughly.
“The other party failed twice. Will there be a third time?” Jian Ai suddenly looked at everyone and asked.
Everyone couldn’t help but frown and think. In the end, Xiao Zhen spoke first. “If the mastermind wants Bai Zhou to die, there will be a third time. If the third time fails, there will be a fourth or fifth time until they achieve the goal!”
“That’s right!” Jian Ai thought so too. She immediately said, “We don’t know who the mastermind is now. If we want to investigate this matter, we have to find an entry point. This entry point is these people who are here for the assassination mission.”
Chi Lian looked at Jian Ai. “Sect Master, you mean…”
Jian Ai’s expression darkened as she drawled, “Last time, it was because of my kindness that Yun Buyao let the killer go. This time, the six killers are dead. Next time, no matter what, please capture them alive. We can’t just sit and wait for death. We have to follow these killers and find the mastermind!”
“But Yun Buyao also used her Spiritual Art to control that killer last time. He only accepted a mission from the organization!” Chi Yang said.
Jian Ai said coldly, “Even so, we have to investigate layer by layer. No matter what organization the other party is from, I have to find the person behind this!”
