Chapter 842: Chapter 845: You’re So Stupid

Zhao Zhijie lay on the ground, eyes closed, motionless.

There was no abnormality visible around his body, no signs of a struggle at all.

Even Zhao Zhijie’s clothes were intact, without the slightest tear.

However, under such circumstances, Zhao Zhijie was dead!

He was killed with a sharp weapon, a single fatal cut to the throat!

"Gasp... This... is too bizarre!"

Hu Zhengwei walked around Zhao Zhijie’s body a few times, first checking his breath, confirming he was dead.

Then he squatted down to check the carpet for any clues but found nothing.

Hu Zhengwei immediately frowned.

"The one who killed Zhao Zhijie is a martial arts master, a top-tier expert."

Standing with folded arms beside him, Meng Kuang slowly walked up to Zhao Zhijie’s body, his eyes piercingly sharp as he spoke.

"The killer dealt a single, direct fatal blow to Zhao Zhijie with a sharp blade, causing no heavy bleeding. This indicates the killer is skilled with a knife and has likely killed many before, similar to a professional assassin."

"There are not many such skilled assassins in the mercenary world. Even we, Skull, could not find more than ten."

"No footprints can be seen on the carpet, indicating the assassin moved lightly or deliberately avoided leaving traces."

As Meng Kuang slowly analyzed, he walked towards the window of the study room, saying, "This study room has only the main door and this window. It’s expected that the assassin entered and exited through this window."

He squinted his eyes and leaned towards the window, feeling the windowsill, and then sneered.

"The assassin was very careful, but outside this window is the garden. The assassin entered through the garden, and left fresh soil underfoot."

Meng Kuang slowly dropped the soil from his hand, looking at Hu Zhengwei with a cold smile.

Perplexed, Hu Zhengwei asked, "Boss, do you think it was Qin Tian?"

Hu Zhengwei wasn’t stupid; at this time, the only one who could kill Zhao Zhijie was War Dragon Qin Tian.

However, he couldn’t understand how Qin Tian and his team managed it.

"Didn’t I say so? When they left, I found it odd. Now it seems, huh, it wasn’t that Qin Tian was afraid of us, but... they had already accomplished their killing target, and we were kept in the dark, thinking the opponent feared us. How... dumb."

Meng Kuang shook his head with a bitter smile.

Hu Zhengwei stood aside, feeling utterly embarrassed—

Meng Kuang was clearly scolding him indirectly!

"Boss, you mean... Qin Tian and the other two were stalling us at the main entrance, while his two subordinates had already sneaked in from the rear and killed Zhao Zhijie?"

Thinking back, Hu Zhengwei suddenly realized.

That was the only possibility!

"Heh, creating a diversion. This Qin Tian really knows how to play."

Meng Kuang didn’t say much more, just laughed coldly and then looked back at Hu Zhengwei, saying, "You’re also quite dense."

Hu Zhengwei blushed, unable to say a word.

This time, he was completely led by the nose by Qin Tian.

Not only was Zhao Zhijie killed, he himself was injured, and he was humiliated, truly... a dire outcome!

"Don’t be disheartened. We can’t find any evidence to prove War Dragon’s involvement. But they are undoubtedly responsible for Fierce Tiger’s downfall. You go collect intelligence and gather evidence. Next week, we will convene a council meeting. At the meeting, at the very least, we must force War Dragon out of the council. That’s my minimum requirement. Can you do it?"

Meng Kuang spoke earnestly, looking at Hu Zhengwei.

Hu Zhengwei gritted his teeth, determinedly saying, "Fierce Tiger is annihilated, War Dragon must be buried with them. Boss, don’t worry. I will never let War Dragon have an easy time!"

...

"Hahaha..."

Hu Zhengwei was so angry he almost exploded, but as soon as Qin Tian and his team left the Hu Mansion, they burst into laughter.

Xiao Zhuang said, "That Hu Zhengwei thought his mansion was impenetrable. My second brother and I easily found a breakthrough point at the back door. It’s not even as good as the Ye Family’s mansion in Beijing."

Lin Yu also laughed, "Yeah, when we got to Hu Zhengwei’s study, the window was open, and the first thing we saw was Zhao Zhijie, that dog. He really had it coming."

Qin Tian asked, "Who did it?"

"Me," Xiao Zhuang said, "Though my assassination skills aren’t as good as Duan Xiaodao’s, killing someone like Zhao Zhijie is more than enough. Plus, with my second brother keeping watch, it was a piece of cake."

They continued to chat and laugh as they decided to go to Bangkok for a spa to relax instead of heading back to Cloud Island immediately.

The next morning, Zhou Yang called Qin Tian, joyous to hear that Zhao Zhijie was dead, and began arranging compensation for the clients.

Though the mission didn’t fail, many clients died, including their elder. Thus, War Dragon proactively compensated.

In the end, War Dragon compensated over eight million, but considering they seized three billion worth of assets from Fierce Tiger, it was a huge gain.

When Qin Tian and his team returned to Cloud Island, as soon as they approached the Cloud Island Base gates, Xiao Zhuang spotted an unfamiliar car and exclaimed, "Whoa, we have guests? Someone actually visited our Cloud Island Base?"

Unclear about the situation, Qin Tian and his team went straight to the hall. Before they entered, Zhou Yang’s call came.

"We’re at the door, why are you calling?"

Qin Tian spoke loudly and entered.

Behind him, Xiao Zhuang, Lin Yu, and Jiang Hu followed.

"Boss, you have guests. I was just about to tell you. Lucky timing. This is Elder Huo, you should know him."

Seeing Qin Tian and his team enter, Zhou Yang greeted them with a smile.

The expansive hall had two strangers, an elderly man in his sixties and a tall, stunning woman in her twenties.

The woman had a tall figure, and her profile was striking, looking like a fairy descended to the mortal world, leaving everyone momentarily stunned.

Especially Lin Yu, walking in the rear, he froze upon seeing her profile, completely dazed as if petrified.

"Xiao Qin, do you remember me? Haha, it’s been years since I saw you Dragon Soul Five Dragons. Lin Yu, Xiao Zhuang, you haven’t changed a bit."

Seeing Qin Tian and his team enter, the old man cheerfully greeted them.

Qin Tian and Xiao Zhuang focused their gaze and immediately recognized the old man—

The leader of the Huo Mercenary Team, Huo Donglin.

Next to Huo Donglin stood his daughter, the tall, stunning woman, Huo Yushuang.
