Chapter 120: Ruthless

  "I just received news that Wu Qing is on his way to Qingyun City." Wu Yi's expression was slightly solemn, "But I think he may have already arrived."

  "Who are you talking about? Wu Qing?" Ning Fang suddenly felt a little incredulous, having just escaped with his life, and now Wu Qing was here. Was this the rhythm of the Four Great Captors storming the Qingyun?

  Before Wu Yi could respond, Ning Fang couldn't help but say with a slightly teasing tone: "Didn't Cold Blood and Iron Fist come together?"

  "Being ruthless and pursuing one's goals aren't necessarily the same thing." Ning Fang didn't seem to notice the playful tone in Lu Xiao's voice, his expression still somewhat serious, but he shook his head immediately after, "No, they can also be said to be together."

  "Can you speak more clearly?" Ning Fan was getting increasingly confused.

  "Wu Qing is not a heavenly fate, from this point of view, he and Zhui Ming are not together, but based on my speculation, Wu Qing and Zhui Ming are actually under the same person's command, so they can also be said to be together." Wu Yi finally explained clearly, and as soon as she said that, Ning Fan finally understood why Wu Yi wanted to tell him this matter.

  "Your meaning is that the guy called Wu Qing, is here to deal with me?" Ning Fang slightly frowned, "But if he's not a Heaven's Chosen one, it seems there's no need to worry too much?"

  "I'm not actually sure if the ruthless one is after you, because he might also be after me." Wu Yi shook his head slowly, "But don't think that just because he's not a Heaven's Chosen, you can look down on him. In fact, he might be even more dangerous than a Heaven's Chosen. At least, from what I know, all the targets that the ruthless one has set his sights on are already dead."

  "Alright, give me his photo, I'll be on guard if I see him." Ning Fan didn't take it too seriously.

  "I don't have his photo." Wu Yi shook her head, "In fact, I don't even know who he is, not even whether he's a man or woman."

  "So what exactly do you know?" Ning Fan was somewhat dissatisfied. If he didn't know anything, then what was the point of telling him about this matter?

  "Rumor has it that Ruthless is the strongest hypnotist." Wu Yi's beautiful face still looked solemn, "Of course, he doesn't have superpowers, but rather, he uses some kind of high-tech tool to interfere with the other person's brain waves, and may even use drugs to make the target fall for it without any warning. And Ruthless' usual method is to take action against someone close to the target, then let the target die at the hands of a loved one without any preparation."

  He paused for a moment, then continued, "But I suspect that's not his only ability."

  "No matter what abilities he has, I believe I can handle it. But you, can you handle him?" Ning Fang had confidence in his own abilities. "You said that guy called Wu Qing, might be coming for you, also because of Ye Rou's reason?"

  "That's not it. If I hadn't been following Ye Rou for the past few years, they probably would have made their move on me already." Wu Yi said with a shake of his head.

  "You and that ruthless person, originally had a grudge?" Ning Fan vaguely understood.

  Wu Yi fell silent for a few seconds before speaking up, "Do you still remember what I told you? That I had obtained an authorization that allowed me to use any means necessary against the Heaven's Chosen?"

  "Of course I remember, and I also recall you saying that this authorization would leave no record." Ning Fan nodded slightly.

  "I once belonged to an organization, one that tried to defy the heavens. This organization had no records, its codename was 'Nothing'. Mu's eyes flickered with a strange light, as if reminiscing about the past. "This organization had very few members, only nine in total. Each person's name started with the word 'nothing', and Wuqing also belonged to that organization."

  "You're in the same organization, but you don't even know what Wu Qing looks like?" Ning Fan found it somewhat strange.

  "That's right, we were originally supposed to be invisible, and no one knew who the others were. In fact, the other eight people are still in an invisible state, only I am the one who is openly exposed." A hint of sadness flashed through Wu Ye's eyes, "The creator of that organization was originally the only one who knew the identities of the nine people, but that person is no longer around."

  "Your confrontation with the Heaven's Chosen, failed?" Ning Fang furrowed his brow slightly. Failure wasn't strange, what was strange was that if they had truly failed, why were all nine of them still alive?

  "We didn't even get a chance to truly confront the Heaven's Chosen, and we've already failed." A hint of bitterness crept into his voice. "Those eight people all betrayed the organization... no, or maybe it shouldn't be called betrayal, because they were already underlings of some Heaven's Chosen before joining the organization. And from that moment on, I truly realized the strength of the Heaven's Chosen for the first time."

  Looking up at the pitch-black night sky, the voice without clothes was a bit ethereal: "Before the organization was created, they had already foreseen this matter and sent those eight people to our organization. And I am the only exception, precisely because of this, they originally wanted to kill me."

  "Was it Ye Rou who saved you?" Ning Fang asked in surprise.

  "That's right, once I received an order to carry out a task and then fell into a trap with tight security measures. I should have died there, but at that moment, a powerful hacker destroyed the security system and guided me out of there. That was the first time I officially met Ye Rou." Wu Yi nodded, "From then on, I followed Ye Rou, and I didn't encounter any more pursuits. I speculate it's because of that person's reason."

  "Are you saying that Ye Rou's so-called fiancé is the one?!" Ning Fang finally understood, "You think it was him who sent Wu Qing to kill you?"

  "Actually, I think his most likely target is the two of us." Wu Yi hesitated for a moment before saying: "Ye Rou used some tactics to deliberately spread rumors about your relationship in a small circle. Ye Rou originally wanted to force that person to appear, but it seems she didn't succeed in luring him here. Instead, she successfully provoked him. He won't kill Ye Rou, but he must punish her. And killing you and me would undoubtedly be the best punishment for Ye Rou."

  After a pause, Wu added: "We are the two people closest to Ye Rou."

  "It's not us, it's you." Ning Fan corrected.

  "I know you don't like Ye Rou's personality, but have you ever thought that a girl, from a very young age, was destined to be the wife of a big shot, and from then on, she never had freedom again? Every man who got close to her ended up in misfortune, and the whole family was eager for her to marry that man. Growing up in such an environment, how could her personality turn out normal?" Wu Yi gazed at Ning Fan, "Actually, I don't want to get involved in your private matters, but I hope you can understand Ye Rou. In fact, she's a very pitiful girl."

  "From our Qingyun No. 1 going out, heading towards the municipal government direction, walking about a thousand meters, there is a beggar who almost sits on the side of the road every day, have you seen him?" Ning Fan suddenly brought up something else.

  "What's wrong?" Wu Yi was somewhat perplexed.

  "That beggar is a man, over thirty years old, with low intelligence, and he's not willing to go to the welfare institution. He begs every day, and what's more, he has a disabled leg. Do you think he's pitiful?" Ning Fan asked.

  "It's quite pitiful." Wu Yi replied.

  "Then will you marry him?" Ning Fan asked.

  "What?" Wu Yi suddenly thought she had misheard.

  "You feel sorry for him and sympathize with him, but would you marry him?" Ning Fan continued to ask.

  She looked at Ning Fang with a slightly annoyed gaze, but didn't say anything. After a moment, the annoyance in her eyes disappeared, replaced by calmness: "Alright, I understand what you mean, however, if Ye Rou knew that you actually compared these two things together, she would definitely scold you."

  "If there's nothing else, I'll go rest first." Ning Fan didn't want to talk more about Ye Rou's weirdness and turned around to walk towards the villa.

  Wu Yi didn't shout at him, but instead quietly said behind his back: "Be careful of the people around you, ruthless ones will take advantage of them."

  Tonight, Ning Fan was destined to have a sleepless night.

  The next day, at six o'clock in the morning, Ning Fan got up and walked out of his bedroom, having meditated for less than two hours. Before he could even wash his face, his phone rang again.

  "Uncle Kun, something urgent?" Ning Fan answered the phone as soon as he saw that it was Shi Kun calling.

  "Ning Fan, that assassin known as Yan Wang, has just died." Shi Kun's tone was somewhat strange.

  "Dead?" Ning Fan's heart skipped a beat, "Uncle Kun, how did he die?"

  "Zhang Qiang shot and killed him." Shi Kun's voice was filled with unspeakable helplessness.

  "Zhang Qiang?" Ning Fan was also shocked, "Uncle Kun, how is this possible?"

  "I just got the news too, but according to surveillance, Zhang Qiang indeed shot and killed Yan Wang. We've already taken control of Zhang Qiang, I'm preparing to interrogate him personally. Hmm, that's what happened, I just wanted to inform you about this." Shi Kun's tone had a hint of anxiety, it was clear that this wasn't good news for him.

  "Uncle Kun, I'll come over later to take a look." Ning Fan hesitated for a moment, "You go ahead and busy yourself first."

  "Alright." Shi Kun quickly hung up the phone.

  Ning Fansi thought for tens of seconds before dialing Su Yun's phone number.

  "Hey, you're up so early?" The phone connected, and Su Yun's soft voice with a hint of laziness came through.

  "Are you still sleeping?" Ning Fan's mind involuntarily conjured up an image of Su Yun lying in bed.

  "Just about to get up, what's wrong?" Su Yun's voice was quite gentle.

  "Are you going to work today? I also need to go to the police station for something later." Ning Fan didn't bring up Yan Wang's matter immediately.

  "Going to work? Then come pick me up. Call me when you arrive downstairs." Su Yun's tone was filled with obvious delight.

  "Uh-huh, okay, see you later." Ning Fan decided to discuss the matter of Yan Wang's death in person, but a thought lingered in his mind - was Su Yun related to Yan Wang's death?
