184: A simple act: kill one, save two lives.
"Ding!"
"Today's intel triggered!"
"Intel 4: Hong Kong tycoon encounters assassin."
It was only then that Chen Yang remembered there was still one piece of intel for today that hadn't been triggered.
Strangely, he was lying in bed and could still trigger today's intel.
What the hell is this?
What does this intel have to do with me?
With curiosity, Chen Yang checked the detailed intel.
Room 1108 was occupied by a middle-aged couple.
The man was Hong Kong tycoon Yang Shouchang, and the woman was his wife, Jiang Shuyu.
At 11:20, an assassin would sneak into the room and kill the couple.
Chen Yang glanced at the time; it was exactly 11:19.
He looked up at the ceiling; room 1108 was directly above his.
Holy crap!
So it's a matter of being on different floors!
Chen Yang didn't have time to think much.
He quickly put on his clothes and rushed out of the room.
Putting on clothes and going upstairs would take about 2 minutes.
He wondered if he would make it in time to save two lives.
In room 1108, Yang Shouchang and his wife Jiang Shuyu had just finished their 'exercise'.
They were in a good mood.
The couple had been married for over a decade and had always been deeply in love.
They had a son and a daughter.
Their married and family life was very fulfilling.
Yang Shouchang was successful in his career, and Jiang Shuyu managed their household well.
They were a perfect match, a happy family envied by everyone in Hong Kong's upper society.
"Click!"
The door lock was forced open from the outside.
A masked man in black walked in.
The couple was startled.
Yang Shouchang sat up abruptly, looking at the masked man.
"Who are you?"
"Why did you break into my room?"
Jiang Shuyu covered her chest and began to put on her pajamas.
The masked man saw a large expanse of Jiang Shuyu's fair skin.
A lewd look appeared in his eyes.
He swallowed.
"Who am I?"
"Someone here to take your lives."
"However—"
"If your wife is so fair and delicate, and willing to serve me once, and give me a sum of money, perhaps I can change my mind."
Yang Shouchang pulled his wife behind him.
"Money is fine, name your price!"
"But my wife is absolutely out of the question!"
The masked man was furious!
His eyes widened.
"Are you tired of living, you bastard?"
"Your life is in my hands, and you still want to bargain?"
Yang Shouchang trembled all over, not daring to provoke him further.
Behind him, Jiang Shuyu was trembling even more, wishing she could hide under the covers.
Unfortunately, she didn't dare to move, fearing it would attract more attention from the masked man.
At this moment, Yang Shouchang suddenly forced himself to calm down.
"May I ask, who sent you to kill us?"
"How much did they pay? I'll give you double, as long as you let us go."
The masked man didn't even think.
He just slapped him.
Smack!
He directly knocked Yang Shouchang to the ground.
Then, without even looking at him, he walked lustfully towards the bed, his eyes fixed on the mature and charming Jiang Shuyu.
"No!"
"Don't come any closer!"
Jiang Shuyu was scared out of her wits.
"Husband, save me!"
Yang Shouchang regretted it immensely at this moment.
He shouldn't have dismissed the bodyguards for a 'two-person world'.
In Hong Kong, he could summon hundreds or thousands of subordinates with a single call.
But now, he was helpless.
However, watching his wife be defiled by the villain was even more impossible.
"Villain, I'll fight you!"
Yang Shouchang disregarded the danger and rushed over, wanting to protect his wife.
The masked man was a professional assassin, accustomed to killing.
Of course, he wouldn't mind having some 'exercise' in front of a corpse.
Without thinking, he pulled out his dagger.
As soon as Yang Shouchang rushed up, he would stab him to death, saving him the trouble of interrupting his fun.
Yang Shouchang didn't notice the dagger in the masked man's hand, or rather, he saw it but had no choice.
He still charged forward.
Jiang Shuyu closed her eyes.
She had already decided that as soon as Yang Shouchang was gone, she would immediately hit the wall and join him in death, never allowing the villain to defile her purity.
She came from a prominent family, and her lifelong pride would not allow her to suffer such humiliation and still live.
Just as the couple was about to lose their lives, the door burst open with a "bang!"
Chen Yang rushed in.
Before the masked man could speak, he unleashed his Heaven-Treading Steps and charged forward fiercely.
He delivered a Heart-Piercing Palm, striking the opponent's back.
Bang!
The masked man's body shook but he wasn't sent flying.
He slowly turned his head to look at Chen Yang.
"You..."
Before he could finish a word, a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out.
The masked man fell to the ground, motionless.
Yang Shouchang was almost scared senseless!
What's going on?
Such a powerful assassin died with one palm strike?
Is it real or fake?
He bravely stepped forward and checked for a pulse.
His hand trembled.
"He's really dead?"
Chen Yang smiled faintly.
Now, a Heart-Piercing Palm was in its perfect state, a Master Level technique!
With one palm strike, unless the person had profound internal energy, their internal organs would be shattered!
This assassin's martial arts were mediocre, so he naturally couldn't withstand the power of a single palm.
"This is an assassin; if you don't kill him in one move, he might retaliate."
"You can check if he has a gun."
Yang Shouchang bravely patted him down.
Sure enough, he found a pistol and three magazines, all fully loaded with bullets.
Yang Shouchang felt a wave of lingering fear.
If it weren't for Chen Yang's intervention, tonight, no matter what, he and his wife would not have escaped death.
Yang Shouchang immediately helped Jiang Shuyu to Chen Yang's front.
He bowed respectfully.
"Thank you, benefactor, for saving our lives!"
Chen Yang raised his hand in a gesture.
His gaze inadvertently caught a glimpse of fair skin.
Indeed, she was as pure as snow, a true beauty!
No wonder the masked man harbored ill intentions and wanted to 'exercise' before killing.
A friend's wife is not to be bullied!
Chen Yang's gaze flashed past.
"It was just a small effort, no need to dwell on it!"
"Find a large cloth bag, and I'll take care of the assassin."
Yang Shouchang hesitated slightly.
"Don't we need to call the police?"
Chen Yang said indifferently:
"Calling the police is fine, but this person is an assassin; even if you call the police, they won't find any clues."
"The police will also dig for answers, which is quite annoying."
"If you don't mind the trouble, then call the police; I don't care anyway."
Yang Shouchang was very surprised.
This person had excellent martial arts, killed someone, and wasn't afraid of police questioning.
His identity and status were probably not ordinary.
So he went along with Chen Yang:
"I'm also quite afraid of trouble, so we won't call the police."
The couple immediately started looking for a cloth bag.
After searching for a long time, they couldn't find one.
Chen Yang simply told them to pull off the bedsheet and spread it on the floor.
With a hook of his foot, the one or two hundred jin assassin's body fell into the middle of the bedsheet.
He folded the four corners and tied it into a bundle.
He lifted it with one hand, gave a gentle swing, and directly threw the bundle out the window.
It flew ten meters horizontally and plunged into the sea.
Bang!
The cruise ship was too high and still moving.
This small splash didn't attract any attention at all.
Yang Shouchang and Jiang Shuyu watched, dumbfounded.
This strength, this technique, it was too swift!
One look and you could tell he had done a lot of killing, arson, and destroying bodies.
Chen Yang clapped his hands, revealing a sunny smile.
"Alright, the matter is resolved. I still need to go back to sleep."
"You just wipe the floor and clean up, and everything will be fine."
He turned to leave, but Yang Shouchang called out to him.
