A Long had never imagined that there could be someone in this world who could catch a dagger launched with full force using just two fingers. Whether during his time in the military or later when he had strayed into the dark side, he had never thought it possible.
Back in the camp, he was confident that he ranked among the top three in terms of skill, especially after gaining real experience in killing. To him, nearly everyone else appeared as mere walking bags of money.
After experiencing the thrill of being above the law, he became completely addicted to it. However, this current target was teaching him a lesson about what true external power meant.
With a casual twist of his wrist, he snatched the dagger from his opponent's tightly clenched hand. His other hand effortlessly penetrated the opponent's defenses, and with practiced precision, he struck the opponent's chin.
As his hand slid down from the chin, it naturally pressed against the opponent's chest.
What seemed like a gentle push with his palm caused the janitor's chest to cave in as if it had collapsed upon contact. The sound of cracking bones sent chills down one's spine, yet A Long's body remained perfectly still.
By controlling his strength, Yang Xiaoyou's strike merely compressed the opponent's lung, preventing him from drawing breath without delivering a fatal blow.
Some questions needed to be extracted directly from the opponent's mouth.
Now that he had offended someone, on the surface it appeared to be just Liu Yan, that spoiled young master. However, Yang Xiaoyou thought differently; if Liu Yan truly had the ability to arrange for someone to attack him so quickly after leaving in anger, then he wouldn’t be in this situation at all.
In fact, anyone who had seen him conversing with Liu Lianyue at the banquet and harbored intentions toward her would not have been able to arrange such an attack so swiftly either.
Looking up at the camera that had been tampered with and rendered useless, Yang Xiaoyou let out a cold snort. He then proceeded to drag the janitor along in the direction of the camera.
Clearly, his opponents had prepared thoroughly. Judging by subtle external changes, it seemed that every camera along this route was either disabled or locked down to prevent any footage from being captured—likely to ensure they could dispose of his body after killing him.
This level of preparation could not have been thrown together at the last minute. Who could have known that he would pass through this area during such a banquet?
Even Liu Lianyue and the two parties involved had no idea before coming here!
This assassination seemed simple and chaotic, but if it was truly orchestrated by someone, that person must have been exceptionally meticulous in their planning.
If I hadn't possessed these skills, I could have been killed here. If the body had been moved and the traces dealt with by the other party, it would have been a complete disappearance, leaving no evidence behind.
Even calling the police would likely be futile.
"Hmph, preparing to escape through the garbage passage, huh?" Judging from the surveillance cameras, Yang Xiaoyou had already calculated the escape route that this fellow had prepared.
In this situation, he didn't even dare to contact Liu Lianyue for fear of alerting the enemy.
As for Liu Lianyue's safety, he still believed she would be fine. The attack seemed directed solely at him; otherwise, there would be no need to target Liu Lianyue at this moment.
Moreover, that sister's skills ensured she wouldn't fall into any traps. A significant amount of time had passed since her injury, and she had already recovered.
"Since they want me to disappear, I might as well go missing for a bit. Tsk, it's New Year's Day." Stepping onto the garbage passage on the second floor, Yang Xiaoyou glanced down and felt somewhat helpless.
In this situation targeting him was definitely related to Liu Lianyue. The other party had clearly prepared in advance, but since they sent such low-level operatives for a surprise attack, it indicated they only had a superficial understanding of him.
They must have known Liu Lianyue well; whether it was from observing her school environment or simply because he had caught their attention while hitching a ride. Just this uncertain information seemed enough to provoke them into taking lethal action, suggesting they were determined to deal with Liu Lianyue or the Blue Moon Group.
At the same time, being able to alter the surveillance here likely indicated an insider within the Blue Moon Group. Given their capabilities as an insider, their status must not be low.
However, he chose not to pursue Liu Lianyue directly, but instead took such extreme measures, suggesting that someone feared his abilities and did not want him to be with Liu Lianyue.
As the information filtered and reorganized in his mind, Yang Xiaoyou roughly identified the range of suspicious individuals.
He didn't even need to ask the fellow he brought along; anyone capable of making such arrangements would certainly not leave any traces on a killer.
Nevertheless, he had to continue down this path. Once this fellow turned into a corpse, there would be a need to deal with it. It seemed to be going smoothly. The back door of the Garbage Room opened, and a fellow dressed in janitor attire emerged, carrying a large garbage bag. Outside, a man in janitor's clothing leaned against a garbage truck smoking and smiled as he saw him, then got into the driver's seat.
However, after his 'companion' tossed the garbage bag into the trunk, he pulled out an empty garbage bag and walked toward the driver's seat.
"What’s up? Are you coming to drive? Who are you?" The driver, who had intended to joke around while leaning against the window, widened his eyes in shock before covering his neck. Crimson blood seeped through his fingers.
Before the blood could drip down, a garbage bag was pulled over his head, sealing him inside.
The car slowly started and drove out of the alley. Ding-dong! In Room 14 of the Blue Moon Hotel, Liu Lianyue, feeling a bit bored while waiting, perked up at the sound of the doorbell.
"Finally! You’re so slow; are you a woman? Uh, why is it you?" She complained as she opened the door and was taken aback by the sight of a young man with glasses standing outside.
"Sister, there are some things I want to discuss with you," the young man said as he adjusted his glasses and smiled.
"What is it?" Liu Lianyue replied coldly, seemingly uninterested in this fellow.
"It's about the Common Unity Party. Is it really convenient to talk here?" The bespectacled man appeared indifferent but there was a glint in his eyes that suggested he felt he had everything under control.
Hearing his words, Liu Lianyue's expression changed slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she stepped aside and let him in.
"What do you want?" After closing the door, Liu Lianyue said coldly.
"Liu Family Eldest Sister? A key figure in the Common Unity Party's Radicals? Tsk tsk, I wonder what kind of impact this news would have if it got out. And if we add some funding statements from the Blue Moon Group to the Radicals, then..." The young man seemed to sense her impatience and wasted no time revealing his intentions.
He then watched with great interest as the stunning woman in front of him reacted.
Upon hearing this, Liu Lianyue's expression shifted. "Zuo Xu Xiang, what are you planning to do?"
"What am I planning to do? Haha, you really don't know?" Seeing the cold, frosty expression on the girl’s face, Zuo Xu Xiang appeared quite pleased with himself. He took a couple of steps closer, seemingly intending to reach out and stroke her hair.
However, before he could react, the seemingly delicate girl swiftly grabbed his outstretched hand.
With a sharp crack, a bone-crushing pain shot through his hand as his palm dislocated completely.
"You! How dare you! Aren't you afraid..." Zuo Xu Xiang never expected that after uncovering her secret, she would still dare to resist. Moreover, the strength of this originally frail-looking sister far exceeded his expectations.
Used to relying on his intellect, Zuo Xu Xiang had always looked down on those who only knew how to use brute force. Yet now, the situation was entirely beyond his calculations.
"Why should I care? I've tolerated you for long enough. Just because that old man values you a bit doesn't mean I care what you want to do. Since you already know, let's settle this first." Liu Lianyue was too lazy to engage in further banter. With a swift motion, she kicked him down onto the floor and then seized his other arm.
Facing off against Liang Wuxuan on a regular basis had already left her exhausted. The only time she could gain the upper hand was when she was prepared to fight back.
So, when this situation arose, she acted first. After kicking the bruised and broken-glassed Zuo Xu Xiang out of the door, Liu Lianyue coldly snorted and shut the door without leaving a word.
Meanwhile, Zuo Xu Xiang lay on the ground, twitching in anger. For someone who relied on intellect, encountering such an unreasonable opponent felt like a scholar meeting a soldier.
What he wanted was a complete Blue Moon Group. Spreading that kind of news would do him no good, but the woman before him seemed determined.
"Hmph! You will be mine sooner or later. I will repay you for the humiliation I suffered today a hundredfold!" After gritting his teeth in determination, Zuo Xu Xiang dragged his battered body up with the help of the wall and began to walk away. Since he couldn't directly confront Liu Lianyue, he would have to face Liu Yue Ru instead.
Although he didn't want to deal with that old fox unless absolutely necessary, in some ways, it would be easier to negotiate with her than with someone as unpredictable as Liu Lianyue.
On the other side, after closing the door, Liu Lianyue sat down against it, having torn off a piece of her troublesome dress. She stared at her phone in a daze and sighed.
