"What do you want her for?" Kasa asked.
"Someone has offered five million for her life," Tom said.
"So you're here to kill Jielina?"
"No, no. I'm here to find her and tell her. How could I kill her?" Tom quickly denied.
He didn't know what relationship the monster in front of him had with Jielina.
If the other party knew Jielina, then if he said he was here to kill her, wouldn't he be asking for death?
"What do you want to tell her?"
"I am her friend, I am here to warn her."
"Is that so? You're that kind. Don't try to fool me.
I know exactly what you're thinking right now.
Do you think your little tricks can fool me?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to deceive you. Please spare me, I was just blinded by greed for a moment. I was wrong."
Tom knelt down and begged for mercy.
"If you're wrong, you'll be punished," Kasa said, preparing to throw him to his kin.
Seeing that escape was hopeless, Tom reached into his coat to pull out a handgun, only to find that he couldn't move at all.
As a monster like a giant lizard approached him, it bit off his lower body, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.
Then it swallowed him whole in another bite.
He never expected that after all his efforts, he had just found his target, and before he could get close, he was swallowed whole by the giant lizard in front of him.
He thought it would be a piece of cake, but instead, he lost his life.
If he had known this would be the outcome, he wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess even if he was beaten to death.
Money can't buy hindsight. Since he had embarked on the path of an assassin, he had to be prepared to die.
But being swallowed whole by this lizard-like monster was too tragic, wasn't it?
This was Tom's last thought, but who would care about his thoughts?
Other assassins also arrived outside Guo Xuyang's villa through various channels, and, without exception, became the dragon lizard's supper.
Guo Xuyang did not sleep at all that night.
The next morning, when Wu Youzhi called, Guo Xuyang was lying on the big bed with a tired expression.
"Yangzi, what time are we leaving?"
"We're not going today, something came up. Wait another day."
Guo Xuyang did not tell Wu Youzhi what had happened.
As of now, including Tom, he had absorbed a total of twenty-three people into his mind.
However, he had accepted thirty-three tasks on the assassin platform, and ten people had not shown up.
He did not dare to go to the capital with peace of mind at this moment.
If anything were to go wrong at home, he would never be able to rest easy in his life.
Wu Youzhi didn't know what was going on. He didn't know why Guo Xuyang had suddenly changed his plans.
The three of them had played all night yesterday and hadn't rested well.
So he informed Pi Xiaoqian and Lu Liang about Guo Xuyang's postponed trip to the capital, and then fell sound asleep.
Here, Guo Xuyang instructed Xiao Yun, Ye Zi, and Yu Er to take turns monitoring the situation outside, and then he also fell fast asleep.
This sleep almost made him regret it for the rest of his life.
He forgot that today was Guo Xuhui's day to return to his in-laws.
Early in the morning, Guo Xuhui went to prepare the things for the return visit.
First, he went to Jun Yue Lai Hotel and picked up four cases of Guojiu and four cases of red wine.
He also went to the back kitchen to get four large lobsters and four catties of dried sea cucumber.
Later, he went to the farmers' market to buy four live chickens and four large carp, which were essential preparations for returning to his in-laws.
On the way back, he stopped by a supermarket to get four packs of Huazi and four packs of Da Ji, then took Xiao Li, Xiao Mingliang, and others to pick up Guo Yiyu.
Then they headed to Maicheng.
Before eleven o'clock, Guo Xuyang was awakened by a phone call.
"Yang, Yangzi, where are you?" Guo Xuhui's trembling voice came from the phone.
"I'm at home. What's wrong, Brother Hui? Your voice sounds off?"
"I, my second uncle, and others have been kidnapped."
"Kidnapped? Tell me slowly, what exactly happened?"
"Guo Xuyang, right?" a broken Mandarin voice suddenly came from the phone.
"Who are you?" Guo Xuyang asked, releasing all his senses.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that Jielina is by your side.
If you hand over Jielina, I can let these people go."
"I'm sorry, Jielina is not by my side. I don't know who you're talking about."
"Don't quibble. Jielina was with you in Myanmar. You can't hide this from me."
"I'm sorry, if you're talking about Jielina from Myanmar, she parted ways with us when she entered China at Ruili.
She also took away a piece of jade worth over a billion Euros from me."
"Are you telling the truth?"
"I don't know who you are. Why would I lie to you?
Jielina approached us in Myanmar just to trick us out of the jade roughs.
Who knew she was such a big swindler."
Guo Xuyang's words were a mix of truth and falsehood, making it impossible for the other party to distinguish.
"The information Tom sent was that Jielina is in the villa where you are currently staying. This is correct. He has already sent the video to everyone."
"Everyone? Are you an organization?"
"We all belong to the assassin organization. You should know the power of an assassin organization."
"I'm sorry, I've never heard of any assassin organization.
Please release my family, and I can pretend this never happened."
Guo Xuyang could already sense the person on the phone and the other three people in the yard.
The person he was talking to was a strong man in his thirties, with a small braid in his hair, like a black person's dreadlocks.
The other three included two men of similar age.
One was a woman, very young, no more than twenty.
He didn't know how these four people got together.
Assassins usually worked alone, and even when they formed groups, it was rarely more than three people.
This team was quite peculiar, not only exceeding three people but also having a young woman.
"If you cannot hand over Jielina, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
The dreadlocked man was about to pull the trigger of the gun pointed at Guo Xuhui's head when he suddenly disappeared.
The others hadn't reacted to what had happened; the person was already gone.
"Fuck, fuck." The young woman yelled and was about to pull the trigger to open fire on everyone, then she entered a wasteland.
The other two assassins completely panicked.
They didn't know what had happened, nor why the young woman and the dreadlocked man had disappeared instantly.
Before they could make any further moves, they were also collected into Guo Xuyang's mind.
"Kasa, after you interrogate these three men, send them to your descendants as food.
Leave that woman to me, and find out who she is and where she comes from."
"Yes, master. I guarantee the mission will be completed."
