Chapter 344: Hiring an Assassin

After leaving Leona's residence, Lu Xiwan was worried.

"Paradise is a mysterious organization, but we don't know their details, and rashly confronting them could be dangerous."

The enemy lurks in the shadows while we are exposed, and furthermore, we have too little information about those people.

Moreover, these are only Leona's one-sided account.

"This time she won't lie again; she knows better than anyone that this is her last chance."

Fu Sijue sat in the car, calmly analyzing; before them lay a haze like tangled mist, this mysterious organization had given them a clue, and made them feel the truth was within reach.

Yet they felt as if an invisible wall stood between them and the truth.

Or rather, up to now they have not caught a glimpse of the truth; what they know is only what those people want them to know.

"Think positively; at least we're not completely ignorant now, and those people aren't as formidable as we thought."

And their biggest weakness lies right here.

With the Ji Family holding the north and Fu Sijue guarding the south, those people would find it far from easy to move about here.

"Shen Shu's investigation there has reached a bottleneck."

As soon as Fu Sijue learned of this organization's existence, he passed the information to Shen Shu.

They had almost analyzed all the current data on Paradise.

They came up empty-handed.

The mastermind behind this organization is like a cunning fox; any hint of news that surfaces is immediately suppressed and thoroughly erased.

"This time we've met our match."

"I will protect you… them."

Fu Sijue originally intended to say only Lu Xiwan, but after a moment's hesitation he added the plural.

Lu Xiwan turned her head to look at Fu Sijue, then gave a faint smile.

"I suddenly realized we're quite alike, both alone in the world. But having you, I finally have a home."

No matter how arduous and tortuous the process, Lu Xiwan always felt fortunate.

Compared to Leona, who secretly grieves inside, they are far more than just a little lucky.

"Since she said Paradise has already established an underground base in Haicheng, I want to go see it."

Fu Sijue said firmly, "No."

He would not allow Lu Xiwan to undertake such a dangerous act before his eyes.

"I want to go see for myself what they are like."

"It's too dangerous for you to go; let Shen Shu send someone instead."

Those who kill without blinking an eye—who knows what they might do after discovering Lu Xiwan's true identity?

"Who said I have to go alone?"

Lu Xiwan smiled faintly.

She never fights without preparation.

Lu Xiwan looked satisfied at Fu Sijue, "This isn't bad."

Under Lu Xiwan's careful preparation, Fu Sijue changed his face to look utterly ordinary.

And Lu Xiwan herself also changed her face to one so ordinary that no one would notice her in a crowd.

"My master's invention is just useful; even if those people clung to our faces, they'd see nothing."

Fu Sijue let Lu Xiwan have her way, then the two left hand in hand.

According to Leona, Paradise's base in Haicheng is in an underground bar.
