Ten minutes later!
Gu Yue, wearing simple disguises and a baseball cap, followed Ye Cangtian downstairs.
As they exited the apartment building, they bumped into two men preparing to go upstairs.
"Wife, what are you dawdling for? Let's go!" Seeing Gu Yue frozen in place, Ye Cangtian couldn't help but remind her.
Hearing Ye Cangtian's urging, Gu Yue finally came to her senses and hurried to catch up.
The two men didn't pay much attention at first, but after a few steps, one of them suddenly said strangely, "Were those two husband and wife? They don't seem like it?"
The two exchanged glances, then their eyes widened.
"No, it's her! Chase!"
They reacted, and by the time they turned back to pursue, they saw Ye Cangtian and Gu Yue slowly driving away in a car.
Ye Cangtian was driving, and Gu Yue, sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but look back.
Upon seeing the two members of the Sky Net Killer Organization chasing after them, she couldn't help but sigh slightly, "They still found me!"
She thought she could divert their attention this time, but unexpectedly, she was discovered as soon as she came out.
"As expected!"
Ye Cangtian's expression was calm. After all, the other party had already locked onto the area, and anyone entering or leaving would definitely be under their surveillance.
Therefore, being discovered while transferring Gu Yue was within his expectations. He smiled and said, "In fact, being discovered isn't necessarily a bad thing!"
Gu Yue looked at him, a little puzzled.
Ye Cangtian smiled and said, "Killers are called killers because they always hide in the shadows, looking for the best time to strike. So, their hiding in the dark makes people have to be on guard all the time."
"You're the one hiding in the shadows!" Gu Yue couldn't help but glare at him.
"Oh, I forgot you're also a killer!"
Ye Cangtian chuckled but quickly said, "However, although you're strong, you're not really a qualified killer. Every time you tried to assassinate me, I could sense your presence beforehand."
"Big Sister, even if you want to kill me, you should at least restrain your killing intent, right?"
True killers completely conceal their killing intent and aura. Even when they are close to their target, they don't let the other party perceive anything.
Killers like Gu Yue are fine against ordinary people!
But if she wanted to assassinate a powerful expert like Ye Cangtian, before she even got close, the other party would have already sensed her strong killing intent. What kind of assassination would that be?
Therefore, he believed Gu Yue was not suited to be a killer!
"You, you're talking nonsense! Back then, I wished I could carve you into a thousand pieces!" Gu Yue's pretty face flushed as she was spoken to. How could she be so weak?
Ye Cangtian didn't argue with her. While driving, he glanced at the rearview mirror.
Not long after leaving the complex, several cars indeed came chasing rapidly from behind.
The corners of his mouth curved upward as he explained, "So, it's a good thing they found us. Instead of them hiding in the dark, making us constantly on guard, it's better to lure them out and catch them all in one go."
Gu Yue frowned, seeming to find Ye Cangtian's words reasonable.
However, she quickly shook her head again, "Although I admit you are very strong, no matter how strong you are, you cannot simultaneously contend with their four quasi-S-class powerhouses, not to mention at least twenty more killers."
Among those twenty killers, three of them had the strength of A-class assassins!
Four quasi-S-class, three A-class assassins, and a dozen B-class assassins.
Such a powerful lineup was incredibly formidable. Gu Yue did not believe Ye Cangtian had such capability!
As for her, her injuries had not yet recovered, and even a B-class killer could threaten her, so she couldn't be of any help.
Once the two of them were surrounded, let alone catching them all in one go, it would be difficult for them to escape!
Ye Cangtian remained unfazed and asked, "How can you be sure that their four quasi-S-class powerhouses will join forces against us? Or, do you think they need all four of them to deal with you?"
Gu Yue was slightly stunned.
Ye Cangtian continued, "Quasi-S-class powerhouses are top existences in the assassin world. They are arrogant. Who would obey whom among the four quasi-S-class killers? Who would listen to whom?"
It wasn't just assassins; in any field, when several people of similar strength are together, the situation is the same.
Even Gu Yue herself couldn't carry out a mission with others simultaneously.
After all, there was no friendship among killers. They had to guard against each other stabbing them in the back!
Ye Cangtian glanced at her and smiled, "If I'm not mistaken, the reason you've survived until now, besides good luck, is that perhaps among those chasing you, there was only one quasi-S-class powerhouse?"
Gu Yue nodded. With her current strength, if four quasi-S-class killers were chasing her simultaneously, even with extraordinary luck, she absolutely wouldn't have been able to escape and would have been captured long ago.
She hesitated, "So, are you saying we only need to deal with one quasi-S-class killer?"
Ye Cangtian glanced at the several cars accelerating behind them, increased his speed, and then said, "Yes! Of course, there are also these small fries. So, I still have quite a bit of pressure."
"I can..." Gu Yue was about to say that she could fight to the death to hold back an A-class killer.
But Ye Cangtian directly interrupted her, "You can't do anything! Stay in the car later. If your old injuries flare up again, and you sustain new ones, I don't have any Immortality Root for you to eat. That would be too wasteful!"
"..." Gu Yue gritted her teeth and glared at him. Was she not even as valuable as a medicinal herb?
The two drove towards the sparsely populated outskirts.
The several cars behind them were also chasing rapidly, clearly having confirmed that their target was in the Maserati in front.
...
Half an hour later!
The old industrial park site, just a few kilometers from the city. More than a decade ago, due to urban planning for a new district, all factories were moved to the new industrial park.
This place had been abandoned for over ten years. Even the roads were overgrown with weeds, and some dilapidated factories stood deserted, becoming a haven for vagrants.
A white Maserati Quattroporte slowly drove up and finally stopped in front of the gate of a derelict fertilizer factory.
The car door opened!
Ye Cangtian emerged, a cigarette in his mouth, closed the door, leaned against it, and lit up, saying, "Stay in the car and don't come out. Just wait for my good news!"
Gu Yue wanted to say something but hesitated. Finally, she sighed and nodded, "Be careful!"
Ye Cangtian exhaled a puff of smoke and walked nonchalantly towards the rear.
At this moment, the chasing cars had stopped not far away. Members of the Sky Net Killer Organization had gotten out and were advancing in a 'mountain' formation.
Gu Yue watched the solitary figure walking forward, her gaze momentarily dazed.
Why was he helping her?
Why did she feel an inexplicable sense of worry?
She couldn't help but recall him calling her 'wife' on the apartment stairs just now. Although she knew it was Ye Cangtian's way of helping her conceal her identity, she couldn't help but blush at that moment.
