Chapter 1444 - B-Grade Assassinat

At this point, Si Yiyan stood by the windows waiting for the result of that B-grade assassination which commenced five days earlier. He had specified a duration of five days for the mission then—today was the deadline.

Si Yiyan was wearing a pale grey blouse.

It was a color slightly darker than white, slightly lighter than black, duller than silver, and colder than red. It was a subtlely beautiful color in between black and white with a tinge of harshness.

Pale grey was a highly confident color. It wasn’t the main color and was usually used as the background. In this world, there were simply too many people who were fit for black or white, but few were fit for such a pale grey color.

Pale grey was a color that wasn’t as simple and pure as black or white, not as cold as black, yet not as innocent as white, but was subtlely gorgeous and elegant!

It existed between the boundaries of black and white, flourishing, just like human nature—ever-changing and unpredictable, like the grey in between heaven and earth when they first parted. It was a color that was stagnant yet mysterious.

It contained even more potential energy than black!

Wen Xinya had once said that the color which suited Si Yiyan the most was pale grey.

When Si Yiyan wore pale grey, he was majestic—as though he had control over the entire world.

And this pale grey shirt was also the first shirt that Wen Xinya had handmade for him.

Footsteps were heard from outside. Gu Yuehan pushed the door open, entered, and walked up to Si Yiyan respectfully. “The B-grade mission to assassinate Xia Ruya has been completed successfully. Details will be presented shortly.”

Old Mr. Mo was critically ill and all suspicions pointed to Xia Ruya. He knew that the Ninth Young Master wouldn’t let Xia Ruya off.

Disregarding the relationship with Sis-in-law, merely based on the Ninth Young Master’s respect for Old Mr. Mo, if Xia Ruya dared to plot against Old Mr. Mo, she would have to bear the consequences of her actions.

And the assassination this time was rather simple. The assassin had made use of Xia Ruya and Jiang Ruoyin’s previous trip to the Pearl Mall to tweak Xia Ruya’s car. He acted very skilfully and, under normal circumstances, even professional vehicle mechanics might not even be able to detect it.

However, when the car was pushed to its limits in terms of capabilities and speed, something would go wrong—for example, the brakes would fail and oil would leak. Hence, he had used psychological tactics, making Xia Ruya frightened, uneasy, and panic on her own. He had hidden in a villa in the suburbs, waiting for Xia Ruya to go out today to tailgate her and do her in.

Such a method escaped detection. Even if the police investigated after the incident, they could only ultimately detect that something was wrong with the car’s capability, and this incident would finally only be concluded as an accident.

“That’s great!” Si Yiyan said plainly.

The B-grade mission to assassinate Xia Ruya had gone even more smoothly than he’d expected.

The major missions under Jiayuan were classified as S, A, B, and C grades. C-grade was the lowest and there were already extremely few missions above grade A. Most missions were grade C.

B-grade missions were the most special among all the missions.

This mission was executed as a sort of accident. The assassin wouldn’t kill on his own but create all sorts of deadly accidents to take the other party’s life.

However, since such missions were “accidental”, all sorts of accidents were present in them inherently.

“Have you checked the authenticity of the contents of the fax message received by Old Mr. Mo?” The fax message contained the true details regarding Mo Yunyao’s death. Although it had been many years, based on his power, it was considered easy for him to conduct a rough investigation. However, many small details had been eroded over the years and naturally, it was impossible to dig deeper.

Gu Yuehan answered, “Already checked—basically accurate. Speaking of which, this incident is related to Old Mr. Wen and could be considered as murder!”

Si Yiyan was in disbelief. Old Mr. Wen’s ruthlessness at that time was still feared by many until today. Such an overbearing modus operandi naturally left him many enemies.

Gu Yuehan started describing the grudge regarding the Wen Family. “At that time, in order to avoid her family-arranged marriage, the daughter of the Dong Family once had a relationship with Old Mr. Wen. However, this relationship ended with Miss Dong’s betrayal. At that time, as Old Mr. Wen suffered great humiliation, the grudge was formed since then.

“Afterwards, Miss Dong accepted the family-arranged marriage and married into the then reputable Bai Family in the Capital city. Old Mr. Wen built the Wen Corporation from scratch and then madly attacked the Dong and the Bai families as revenge. Finally, the Bai and Dong families ended up broken tragically.

“The person who bribed the doctor who delivered the baby for Miss Mo was precisely the only son of Miss Dong, Bai Qishan. The disappearance of Sis-in-law was also arranged by Bai Qishan. He had originally dumped Miss Wen in the red-light district of the Capital city. However, unexpectedly, she had been picked up by that inhumane couple.”

Si Yiyan’s expression turned hostile.

The red-light district was known as the most filthy, polluted, and scandalous place in the Capital city. There were all sorts of hair salons, pubs, and hotels there doing the most degrading prostitution business.

If Xinya were to end up at that kind of place then, it could be imagined what she’d end up growing up as.

“Go on!” Si Yiyan said plainly.

For some reason, Gu Yuehan felt that the atmosphere was oppressive and daren’t delay the least bit. “Bai Qishan disappeared without a trace after everything.”

“How about the doctor who delivered for Mo Yunyao? Also, have you checked on the other staff who participated in the delivery?” Si Yiyan radiated a silent commanding aura.

“Not long after that doctor delivered for Mo Yunyao, he’d been embroiled in a lawsuit over a surgery and finally got ran over by a relative of the patient. The few people involved in the delivery had all either disappeared or died. Right now, we can’t find any leads.”

After all, it was a twenty-odd-year-old incident and it was too difficult to investigate much. It was already a feat to get so much information.

“Got it!” This matter was very similar to the usual modus operandi of the Korean-Chinese Alliance. Bai Qishan was merely a pawn and the Korean-Chinese Alliance was the real mastermind. He even suspected that the Korean-Chinese Alliance had also participated in the tragic ending of the Bai and Dong families.

Gu Yuehan asked, “Do we continue the investigation?”

“No need!” The Korean-Chinese Alliance had always acted carefully and secretively and wouldn’t let others detect anything. Furthermore, it was a twenty-odd-year-old incident—if they dared to reveal it, it meant that they were totally unafraid of exposing any leads.
