Qin Han Chu didn't need to rack his brains; he knew with his eyes closed that this person was sent by Ye Jiang He.
Even though he knew this person intended to harm him, Qin Han Chu didn't expose him.
The Madam was a Grandmaster, while the assassin was only an eighth-rank.
As long as the Madam was present, this person probably wouldn't dare to make a move.
Even if he did, it would be suicide!
Qin Han Chu was in the process of ordering food, his eyes changing slightly.
He felt himself being targeted.
It wasn't the assassin who was staring at him, but someone from behind.
"Sniper!"
Qin Han Chu found it a little amusing, not expecting the real kill shot to come from here.
The assassin not far away was likely just there to confirm if the target had been killed.
The one responsible for the action was the sniper in the distance.
On the rooftop opposite, a man in black was aiming his sniper rifle at Qin Han Chu.
Just as he was about to fire, an ice needle suddenly condensed behind him.
*Swish!*
The man in black's eyes widened, as he saw an ice needle pierce the center of his brow.
*Bang!*
The man in black fell to the ground dead!
Such a weakling, Qin Han Chu could kill him with a mere thought by manipulating the elements of heaven and earth.
"Jiang Liu, what do you think about the engagement?" the Madam asked curiously after the food was served.
Qin Han Chu replied, "Can it be refused?"
"You don't like Mu Jian Ling?"
"She's a renowned beauty in Fog City, with countless people wanting to have her."
"Your younger brother also wants to kill you for her."
"A beauty like this, and you want to refuse?"
The Madam asked.
Qin Han Chu asked, "Do you think arranged marriages are happy? And does Mu Jian Ling truly want to marry me?"
The Madam fell silent, for she herself was a victim of an arranged marriage.
Although she was the Madam of the Ye family in name, in reality, it was just a hollow title.
"I believe Mu Jian Ling also doesn't want to accept this arranged marriage."
"So it's better to call it off,"
Qin Han Chu said.
The Madam nodded slightly, "I will help you break off the engagement."
Chatting away, the "mother and son" savored the delicious food.
The assassin not far away grew anxious. Why hadn't his companion made a move yet?
He dialed his companion's number, but no one answered.
This gave him a bad feeling.
He was also a ruthless individual.
Though he didn't know what had happened to his companion, he decided to make his move.
He stood up and walked towards Qin Han Chu and the Madam. As he passed by their location, a silver sphere dropped onto the ground.
*Boom!*
At that moment, the sphere suddenly exploded.
Within a ten-meter radius, the area was instantly enveloped in smoke.
In this smoke, one couldn't see their hand in front of their face.
For a moment, cries of alarm echoed through the restaurant.
This cacophony made it impossible for the Madam to pinpoint the assassin's location.
"Not good!"
The Madam quickly waved her hand, attempting to disperse the mist with the force of her palm.
And in that instant, the assassin's sleeve dart shot towards Qin Han Chu's position.
In reality, the assassin couldn't see either, but he had already memorized Qin Han Chu's location.
In his intelligence, Ye Jiang Liu was merely an imbecile.
Therefore, this sword thrust would definitely not be dodged by Ye Jiang Liu.
But as the sword thrust out, he felt no impact of piercing a body, which made the assassin exclaim that things were not good.
With one failed move, the man immediately fled.
This assassin knew very well that under the cover of the mist, he only had one chance to strike, as the Madam was a Grandmaster-level expert.
Just as the assassin was escaping, the mist was dispersed by the Madam.
The Madam saw the sword piercing Qin Han Chu's chair and felt a chill in her heart, but where was he?
And there was no blood on the chair.
"What happened just now?" At that moment, Qin Han Chu emerged from behind a nearby pillar.
The Madam thought her son had been abducted, but upon seeing Qin Han Chu emerge, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's nothing, someone was playing a prank."
The Madam subconsciously treated Qin Han Chu as the imbecile he used to be, so she wanted to pacify him with such words.
"Someone came to kill me, didn't they."
Qin Han Chu looked at the sword marks on the chair.
"I will catch him and find out who is behind this."
The Madam also knew that this person was likely sent by Ye Jiang He, but without evidence, there was no point in her making a fuss.
She didn't expect Ye Jiang He to be so ruthless, trying again after failing the first time!
At this moment, the Madam also harbored murderous intent towards Ye Jiang He.
...
A moment later, the assassin from the hotel arrived at the balcony where the sniper was located.
Upon seeing his companion killed, the man's eyes widened in disbelief.
How could this happen?
Who killed his companion?
Could it be a past rival!
Looking at the wound on his companion's forehead, the assassin's heart trembled.
The wound looked like it had been pierced by a needle; the opponent was definitely a martial arts master.
Half an hour later, Qin Han Chu and the Madam returned to the Ye family manor.
After sending Qin Han Chu back to his room, the Madam went directly to Ye Jiang He's residence.
Ye Jiang He was practicing boxing in his garden when he saw the Madam and felt a bit perplexed.
"Ye Jiang He, you sent someone to kill my son, didn't you?" the Madam questioned him coldly.
Hearing this, Ye Jiang He was startled. He quickly said, "How could that be? He's my brother, why would I send someone to kill him?"
"It doesn't matter if you admit it or not. If my son is killed, I will hold you accountable."
"You should know my strength. Unless you stay by the side of a Grandmaster forever, I will make you pay with your life."
After saying this, the Madam turned and left.
Ye Jiang He watched the Madam's retreating back with a grim expression.
Clearly, Huo Bao Ge's assassination attempt had failed!
The Madam's threat made Ye Jiang He's mood heavy.
He knew very well that the Madam was not joking.
Once Ye Jiang Liu was killed, the Madam might very well make a move against him.
He didn't want to die!
At the same time, Mu Jian Ling, accompanied by her maid, arrived at the Ye family manor.
"Miss Mu, why have you come?"
Upon seeing Mu Jian Ling, the guards at the entrance rushed to greet her.
Mu Jian Ling was the eldest daughter of the Mu family, so these guards dared not neglect her.
"I've come to see Ye Jiang Liu," Mu Jian Ling said in a deep voice.
"Please follow me." One of them led Mu Jian Ling into the Ye family manor.
After Mu Jian Ling left, the other guards began to discuss.
"Miss Mu Jian Ling is truly beautiful. Her face and figure are like works of art."
"Indeed. Our young master must have cultivated greatly in his past life."
"He used to be an imbecile, but now it's different!"
"Will our Ye family change heirs? After all, the eldest young master is more legitimate."
"Absolutely impossible. Even if he's not an imbecile, the heir to the Ye family won't be him."
"How so?"
That person glanced around, then whispered, "The chairman has always disliked the eldest young master, and their father-son relationship has only grown colder over the years. If you were the chairman, would you choose to hand over the Ye family to someone who resents you?"
"That's very true!" Everyone nodded in agreement.
