Chapter 857: Chapter 860: The Great Bluff Technique

As soon as Lina stepped into the hospital room, Xia Liu opened his eyes.

His divine sense had always been covering the entire floor, allowing him to react promptly to even the slightest disturbance.

In recent days, Lina’s unusual behavior had also captured his full attention.

She definitely knew something.

And she chose this moment to look for him.

Which meant she hadn’t exposed the matter yet.

Perhaps she wanted to blackmail him for something.

No matter, as long as he could determine what she knew, he had the confidence to handle her.

“Mr. Xia, are you asleep?”

Lina called softly.

Xia Liu didn’t respond; he wanted to see what Lina intended to do.

“Mr. Xia, I know you’re already awake. There’s no need to pretend, I’ve learned everything.”

Lina suddenly seemed like a different person, her voice becoming sharp.

“Speak, what do you know or what have you seen?”

Xia Liu sat up from the hospital bed.

He speculated that there might have been a camera in the room where the previous incident occurred that even he hadn’t noticed, and the footage might have been acquired by Lina.

“That’s right, I saw it, saw you killing Liang Chao and Liang Yu in a mysterious way.”

Lina showed no panic; daring to come late at night was for the sake of confession.

“Oh, it seems the video hasn’t been completely erased.”

As expected, Xia Liu’s guess was correct; the matter had still leaked out.

“That’s right, President Guo’s fortune hasn’t completely ended, which allowed me to discover your true face.”

“What do you want?”

Since Lina had seen his methods and still dared to stand alone in front of him, it indicated she was confident of not being killed by him.

The only thing he could do now was probably to appease her. If she wanted money, give it to her first, retrieve the video, and then deal with other things.

“That question should be for me to ask, what are your real intentions in approaching President Guo?”

Lina’s expression changed, feeling she had nothing to fear, and she didn’t plan on demanding anything from Xia Liu.

She just wanted to know why he approached Guo Man, and what his intentions were.

“What if I say I approached her to get her approval, her affection, and to be her husband, would you believe it?”

Without any hesitation, Xia Liu said straightforwardly and fluently.

“Hehehe…”

Facing Xia Liu’s confession, Lina coldly laughed: “If that were really the case, I wouldn’t have come here.”

“Oh, then what do you think my intentions are in approaching President Guo?”

Xia Liu watched Lina with interest. Initially, he thought this foreign girl wasn’t very shrewd, but now it seemed he had been careless.

“The first encounter was at the orphanage. You pretended to ignore President Guo and even reprimanded her ultimately, probably to get her attention.”

“Go on.”

“After that, you managed the orphanage matters, making President Guo favor you greatly. You posted missing person notices on the street, as a way to make President Guo think you genuinely longed for children as a father.”

Lina laid out the events she’d compiled over the past couple of days.

“What else?”

Xia Liu almost admired this girl’s wit for figuring all this out.

“Due to Zhao Qian’s connection, you entered Guo’s Pharmaceutical and later saved President Guo at the restaurant. I can’t figure this part out, possibly even Heaven was aiding you, allowing Liang Chao repeatedly attempt to usurp President Guo, giving you the chance to shine.”

“You feared this time would be like before, that President Guo wouldn’t value you much, so you shot yourself in the shoulder. I admire your courage, and endurance, for winning President Guo’s favor in such a way.”

Getting a full view of the hotel room events, Lina quickly understood Xia Liu’s intent.

And indeed, his expectations were met—President Guo had personally made him lunch.

And even fed him by hand.

One could even say things far exceeded his estimates.

Clap, clap, clap…

Xia Liu clapped his hands repeatedly, expressing complete agreement with Lina’s deductions.

“You’re impressive, my previous actions have been analyzed by you thoroughly.”

“Currently, I have that complete video…”

Just when Lina was about to threaten Xia Liu with the truth, Xia Liu interrupted her with a gesture.

“I know what you’re about to say, but I want to ask you something first. Before returning to Huaxia Harbor City, where did you work or train?”

“In America.”

Though she didn’t know why Xia Liu asked, today he couldn’t escape.

If he killed her, then by this time tomorrow, Guo Man would be bringing Zhuge Yingtian and a large force to the hospital, leaving Xia Liu no escape!

“In America, I have two acquaintances, one from an underground assassin organization, and the other from the Blood Clan Imperial Vein, the Ross Family.”

“Could it be, you’re a master from the Blood List! Did you come this time specifically to assassinate President Guo?”

Lina suddenly realized.

She had heard of the Blood Clan but hadn’t paid much attention to it.

Her focus had been the Assassins Realm, and before leaving it, she was a top three hundred assassin on the Blood List.

“I am on the Blood List, but my goal isn’t to kill Guo Man.”

Seeing potential, Xia Liu’s way of speaking became smooth and slow.

“Then what’s your purpose in approaching President Guo?”

“To protect her.”

“Protect President Guo? Don’t make jokes, an assassin on the Blood List, saying you protect President Guo, when she has nothing to do with you.”

Lina laughed coldly and shook her head, having lost the will to mock Xia Liu any further.

Only he was skilled at deceiving people.

“Hehe, if I say that Treading Snow Without a Trace will soon come to kidnap Guo Man, would you believe it?”

Xia Liu likewise laughed coldly. In the Assassins Realm, he was skilled at deceiving people swiftly, without needing others’ consent.

“Treading Snow Without a Trace, the second-ranked super assassin on the Blood List!”

Hearing the name, Lina’s pupils widened.

Anyone who had mingled in the Assassins Realm knew that the top ten on the Blood List were almost mythic figures.

Especially the top five, who must be extremely abnormal to reach that level.

“You know the Blood List, then you should know the weight Treading Snow Without a Trace holds in the Assassins Realm. It’s impossible for him to come and kidnap President Guo.”

The second on the Blood List, Treading Snow Without a Trace, in terms of strength and dowry, is nearly perfection. How could he come to kidnap Guo Man, it’s highly unscientific.

“I know you won’t believe it, but the top five on the Blood List receives a Secret Order. As long as they bring a woman from the list to a specific place, they will receive a super gift. As to what it is, I have no interest.”

“Why do you know the top five on the Blood List will receive a Secret Order?”

“Here!”

Knowing Lina would doubt him, Xia Liu waved his hand, sending a completely jet-black jade plate slowly towards Lina.

At the sight of the blood-red characters on the jade plate, Lina was instantly overwhelmed.

The plate surprisingly bore the inscription: Red Dragon Shadow!

Red Dragon Shadow, the top-ranked supreme figure on the Blood List, legend has it, he has lost his cultivation and no longer concerns himself with the Assassins Realm…
