Chapter 192: The Storm is Coming

Night is a very good time to strike. At this moment, it seemed everyone in the Zheng family was asleep, but in reality, some people were secretly watching the situation. After all, these two days were the days for Zheng Huan's inheritance, and no accidents could occur. Once these two days passed, the days ahead would be much better.

In the darkness, a person was hidden. This person was dressed in black, as if merged with the night, clearly someone who had worked in the dark for a long time.

The person looked at the Zheng family's defenses and smiled contemptuously, "Is this a big family? Nothing more than this!"

After speaking, the guy sneaked into the Zheng family's residence. Looking at the sleeping security guards, although they appeared to be fast asleep, out of caution, the man in black still acted against them, knocking them unconscious. Although he was an assassin, he wouldn't kill innocent people indiscriminately. He only acted against his targets; as for others, as long as they didn't see him, he would choose to let them go.

The man in black dealt with the group and slowly entered the inner residence of the Zheng family. He looked at the little girl sleeping in the bedroom and hesitated. He felt today's mission seemed a bit too easy, so easy it felt unbelievable. Out of the natural vigilance of an assassin, he was extra careful. The easier it was, the more he felt something was fishy.

The man in black looked around vigilantly. He looked at everything here. Originally, he could have finished the mission in a few minutes, but he dragged it out for a full hour. Finally, when he found nothing unusual, he took out the dagger in his hand. For safety's sake, he didn't even enter the little girl's bedroom. He gently opened the window, quickly threw the dagger, and then hid rapidly. Finding no abnormality, and judging from the situation inside, the little girl was likely already dead. However, to complete the final mission, he still had to go in and confirm.

The man in black slowly walked into the bedroom. He slowly approached the bed. Just as he was about to lift the quilt, a hand suddenly reached out from under it and grabbed him. He reacted instinctively, and the two began to wrestle.

The person hiding under the quilt was none other than me. To be safe, I had been staying by Xiao Huan's side for these two days, even when sleeping. At this moment, Xiao Huan was hiding under the bed in fear, not daring to make a sound.

Long before the man in black arrived, I had discovered him. To be safe, I had Xiao Huan hide under the bed. But I didn't expect this guy to be so patient, actually waiting for over an hour without acting.

However, this guy finally acted at this moment, unable to resist coming in to confirm the death. After all, in their profession, they couldn't report back without seeing the corpse.

This guy's strength wasn't too great, a little worse than mine. The assassin probably didn't expect this mission to have someone with such strength. It was also possible that the two Zheng brothers didn't want to spend too much money; after all, hiring high-level experts was quite expensive.

After exchanging a few blows, the assassin slowly couldn't hold on. He turned to run, but was blocked by people outside. The bodyguards hidden in the dark intercepted him, although they were clearly not the man in black's match, they delayed him long enough for us to catch him.

The man in black stared at me, unwilling. I smiled at the guy and said, "I have to say, you really have enough patience. I was lying on the bed and almost fell asleep. I was ready to go find you if you didn't act. I didn't expect you to finally be unable to resist!"

"Hmph, caught by you, I have nothing to say. But don't expect me to tell you anything. We have professional ethics; we won't leak the employer's information!"

I wasn't surprised by the assassin's words. It would be strange if he told me. I didn't expect to know anything from his mouth either, so I said directly to the person beside me, "Send him to the authorities!"

"Ah, shouldn't we ask something? This guy must know something!"

"It's useless. These people are professionally trained and definitely won't leak information. And this matter doesn't need asking; it must be the work of Zheng Han and Zheng Hong!"

Hearing my words, they didn't say anything more and took the assassin away.

The Zheng family members had even hired an assassin; it seemed they really didn't care about family ties at all, doing anything for money. Today was the last day of the inheritance. The assassin failed, so they would definitely act again, and it would be the most terrifying wave, because after today, they would have no more chances.

At this moment, Zheng Han and Zheng Hong were waiting anxiously at home for news, but after a whole night, they received no word from the assassin. Their hearts gradually began to worry and grow anxious. No news for such a long time could only mean the mission had failed.

Zheng Han said unwillingly, "Even this could fail? What a waste!"

Zheng Hong looked at the time and slowly stood up, saying, "We can't wait any longer. Success or failure depends on this one move. I've already arranged for Uncle Zheng; he definitely won't be able to act!"

"Are you sure? Uncle Zheng has been very loyal to the Old Matriarch all these years and has never had any problems?"

"If I say there's no problem, there's no problem. Uncle Zheng's family is in my hands; he definitely won't dare to move!"

Hearing Zheng Hong's words, Zheng Han smiled and said, "I couldn't tell, Big Brother also has such means. You usually call me treacherous and shameless, but I think we're the same!"

"Isn't this all for money? Aren't you the same? I couldn't contact several key members of the Zheng family earlier. If I'm not mistaken, their families are in your hands now, right?"

Zheng Han smiled slightly and said nothing. Both knew each other's intentions; everything was for profit.

Zheng Han and Zheng Hong discussed it and then set off, because Xiao Huan was definitely on her way to transfer the inheritance. Now was the best time to act.

At this time, Xiao Huan and I were preparing to go for the inheritance transfer. Just as we were about to leave, someone suddenly came to tell me, "Uncle Zheng has something at home today and can't come!"

Hearing this news, I was stunned. One had to know that Uncle Zheng was the strongest among us. To think he would drop the ball at this moment, and on the very last day, when everything was about to be settled, such a snag appeared.
