Chapter 276: Subjugation

The hotel room situation was obvious at a glance: the assassin's attack was countered, and although Chen Mo's tossed ashtray was a bit more powerful, the facts were evident, and the police didn't say much.

Because Sandy was on the scene maneuvering, the police ultimately ruled Chen Mo's act as justifiable self‑defense.

Chen Mo only needs to go to the police station to file a statement, and the case will be considered closed.

As for Cheng Haiyao and Kaiselin, who were taken away earlier, they appear on the surface to be just two masseuses, unrelated to the assassin, and the police are too lazy to bother.

After cooperating with the police and completing the statement, Chen Mo, under Sandy's resentful gaze, refused her request to go home with her and returned to the bar alone.

In Chen Mo's office, Cheng Haiyao and Kaiselin were sitting on the sofa, of course both hands and feet still bound, while Shen Guodong personally stood guard on the side.

At this moment, Kaiselin had already woken up; seeing Chen Mo return, she immediately cast a hateful glance at him.

Although Cheng Haiyao said nothing, she could tell what Chen Mo had done to her while she was unconscious.

After Chen Mo returned to the office, he briefed Shen Guodong on a few matters and then let him leave.

Next, he would personally interrogate the two female assassins.

"You bastard, I'm going to kill you!" Kaiselin shouted.

Chen Mo was unfazed, sat directly beside Kaiselin, and draped an arm over her shoulder.

"Don't speak so confidently; with your skill, you couldn't kill me in this lifetime."

"Tell me, who are you, who sent you, and who hired you to kill me?"

Seeing Chen Mo about to make a move on Kaiselin again, Cheng Haiyao immediately spoke up.

She had already been about to speak at the hotel, and now she had no mental restraint at all.

"We are Madam M's Subordinates; she sent us. As for who contacted her, we don't know."

Chen Mo nodded lightly: "Not bad, that's the truth. How many assassins are in Madam M's Subordinates?"

"We are eleven in total; besides the two of us and the one you killed, there should be eight more sisters."

"Huh? Eight more?" Chen Mo was taken aback by the answer.

It seems the matter differs quite a bit from what he knew.

When Chen Mo saw the two at the spa, he thought they were on a mission after completing Madam M's training.

If, back at the hotel, Chen Mo had noticed Cheng Haiyao still being in the processing stage and was a bit suspicious, then now hearing her say there are eight more assassins under Madam M, he understood they hadn't completed training yet.

"Is this your first time going out to take a mission?"

"Yes!"

Chen Mo couldn't help but gasp: "You guys are really lucky to have met me. You missed, but you're still alive."

"You'd be better off just killing us outright!" Kaiselin kept twisting her shoulder, trying to break free from Chen Mo's grip.

Chen Mo flexed his arm, hugging Kaiselin tighter, his hand slipping straight into her neckline.

"Be honest! Otherwise I'll kill your sisters first!" As soon as Chen Mo said that, Kaiselin actually became obedient.

Even though Chen Mo's hand was fidgeting inside her clothes, she didn't dare move.

"Do you know why I say you're lucky?"

Seeing the two remain silent, Chen Mo continued on his own: "As far as I know, Madam M abducted a group of girls from around the world six years ago; you two should be among them, right?"

According to Madam M's usual practice, she lets you kill each other during training, and the one who survives is the assassin Madam M wants.

So that means at least one of you was supposed to die, and it's very likely you'd die at each other's hands.

Chen Mo's words startled the two.

They knew Chen Mo's high‑probability claim was true, because they had already killed training partners more than once.

"Oh, also," Chen Mo added, "don't think that surviving to the end is the end."

Madam M will prepare a special ceremony for the last surviving assassin: she will gather a group of big men to perform Wheel J on her, destroying all her personality and self‑respect, ensuring she becomes a killer with no dignity or shame.

"So now you know how lucky you are, right?"

The two, however, didn't really believe it, because there was no basis.

"Impossible, you're lying to us; this is all made up by you. How could you possibly know so much about Madam M!"

Seeing they didn't believe, Chen Mo decided to say something they could trust: "Your name is Cheng Haiyao, right? You're from Gangdao, with your mother's surname."

"Your mother lives in Jiangjun'ao, correct?"

"Since you were abducted, she has been going to the Tianhou Niangniang Temple each month to pray, hoping to find you."

"I wonder, this time you came to Gangdao, did you first go to see her?"

Then Chen Mo reached into Kaiselin's clothing, squeezed firmly, and said, "And you, your name is Kaiselin, right?"

"How do you know?" Kaiselin exclaimed in shock.

If Cheng Haiyao's being from Gangdao allowed Chen Mo to obtain her information, Kaiselin, who grew up in Southeast Asia, should have been impossible for Chen Mo to know her name.

Yet Chen Mo somehow knew, which left her extremely surprised.

Chen Mo said calmly, "Don't ask how I know; I have my methods."

"You just need to understand that I know more than you think, and that's enough."

Kaiselin finally sensed something off and asked, "Why are you telling us this?"

"Good question," Chen Mo smiled, "You two came to kill me, so whatever I do with you is justified."

"But, you see, I'm a person who cherishes beauty."

"You both are skilled and look decent; it'd be a waste to kill you."

"What about being with me later?"

Although Chen Mo's subordinates aren't lacking in people who can kill, recruiting these two women as bodyguards and taking them out would be a great prestige!

If not taken out, keeping them at home also makes the house much safer.

"You can think it over carefully; that third assassin at the hotel wasn't there to kill me."

"Even if I let you go, you won't be able to return, and you'll surely continue to be pursued by Madam M."

Moreover, Cheng Haiyao, do you think Madam M will or won't strike at your mother?

Chen Mo's words made Cheng Haiyao's heart shudder with fear.

When she was taken away, she wasn't some memory-less little brat; it had only been six years since she left home, and she still had deep feelings for her mother.

Upon hearing that Madam M might strike at her mother, she immediately panicked.

"If I follow you, can you guarantee my mother's safety?"

"Of course I can."

Chen Mo's eyes flashed with a cold glint: "As long as you follow me and tell me Madam M's base location, I will immediately send people to eliminate them."

By then, not only can I guarantee your mother's safety, but you also won't have to suffer her threats— isn't that good?

Although Chen Mo isn't afraid of assassins attacking him, he's annoyed!

How many times has this happened!

Whether for future peace or to find the employer who wants him dead, he must deal with Madam M.

But he can't say that outright; saying it would be for Cheng Haiyao and Kaiselin.
