Chapter 27 Only
Jiangcheng First People's Hospital.
Liu Hui, carrying a stack of medical records, hurriedly ran towards the administration building.
Upon spotting someone ahead, I quickly moved aside, and the person in front of me did the same.
Helpless, Liu Hui had no choice but to stop. But then a pebble appeared under her feet, causing her to lose her balance and the medical records in her hands to fly away and scatter on the ground.
"Excuse me."
Liu Hui apologized to the person who was almost hit and quickly squatted down to pick up the medical records scattered on the ground.
Xia Xue looked down at the gentle and professional nurse in front of her, who was about thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old.
Who would have guessed that she would be a bronze-level assassin in a dark organization?
"Tracing the source!"
Images flashed rapidly before Xia Xue's eyes, all depicting various acts of harming or killing people.
"So you really didn't know?"
These assassins only care about the reward for their missions; they don't care at all who assigned them the missions.
Xia Xue scanned the crowd around her, glanced at the surveillance camera hanging in the corner, glared at Liu Hui fiercely, and then reluctantly turned and left.
Liu Hui continued picking up the medical records, glancing at Xia Xue's departing figure out of the corner of her eye, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
"We've been discovered?"
If the other party hadn't been mindful of being in public, they probably would have attacked on the spot.
"The other party is a trained fighter."
She recalled the way the other party had blocked her earlier.
Liu Hui's face darkened.
"We must prepare for the worst."
She instinctively gripped the flame necklace on her chest tightly, her eyes hardening once more.
While picking up the medical records, she calmly took out a sealed capsule from her bag, and under her head, she quietly slipped it into her mouth.
Second floor of the residential building.
On the balcony at the end of the corridor.
Xia Xue rested her chin on her hand, her gaze fixed on Liu Hui, who was still picking up medical records.
"Everything is going according to plan."
Xia Xue took out her phone and casually turned off location sharing.
"Next, it's time for our other main character to make his appearance."
Xia Xue's ears twitched, her lips curled slightly, and she turned to look in the direction of the hospital entrance.
"Speak of the devil, and he shall appear."
A sudden screech of brakes.
Xia Jue's Jeep was parked in the parking lot in front of the hospital.
Xia Jue went downstairs and looked around. She paused and noticed that the female nurse who was slowly getting up while holding the medical record book was Xia Xue's target.
"Has Xia Xue still not found him?"
Xia Jue thought that although Xia Xue had arrived early, she was unlucky and missed the opportunity to find someone.
He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Come with me."
Xia Jue made a decision immediately.
Let's get this key person under control first.
Because of what had just happened, Liu Hui was already very vigilant. The appearance of Xia Jue and his group made her realize that she had been completely exposed.
It wasn't just what I had assumed, that a victim's family member was seeking revenge against her.
Instead, the authorities located her based on clues.
Liu Hui immediately thought of the girl she had just met, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old but was skilled in martial arts.
"She must have leaked my whereabouts."
It was indeed the worst-case scenario.
If only one person knows, she can kill them to silence them.
However, her identity has been exposed, and her whereabouts have been taken into account by the authorities.
She, the assassin hidden in the shadows, has become a clown on stage, illuminated by spotlights.
Liu Hui threw the stack of medical records in her hand to Xia Jue and the others, and taking advantage of the opportunity, she ran away as fast as she could.
Xia Jue's movements were even more decisive; with a flash of his right hand, a gun appeared in his hand.
Without any hesitation, Xia Jue raised his head and fired a shot.
With a "bang".
Liu Hui collapsed upon hearing the sound.
Liu Hui looked down at her injured left leg; the bullet had hit her right in the knee.
"Good marksmanship."
Liu Hui turned around, lay back on the ground, looked at Xia Jue who was approaching quickly, and sneered.
"You think you've won?"
Xia Jue didn't waste any words with Liu Hui and immediately waved his hand.
The team members behind her took out a device that looked like a boxing glove and forcibly put it on Liu Hui's left hand, which was wearing a smart watch.
"You mean the silencer device in your smartwatch?"
Xia Jue walked up to Liu Hui and stared at her with icy eyes.
"So you guys even know this."
There was no surprise in Liu Hui's eyes.
Thinking about her cooperative actions just now, and looking at Liu Hui's attitude, Xia Jue felt a sense of unease. When she inadvertently saw Liu Hui making a slight chewing motion, Xia Jue's expression changed.
"Oh no, she's going to commit suicide by poison!"
A trickle of black blood spilled from the corner of Liu Hui's mouth. She opened her mouth, revealing two rows of teeth stained with black blood, and roared with a sinister smile.
"Netherfire won't let you go, haha, I'll be waiting for you in the Netherworld."
After shouting, Liu Hui's body stiffened, and she collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
Xia Jue suddenly looked up at Xia Xue on the balcony on the second floor of the inpatient department.
"Anyone can live, but you can't!"
Xia Xue met Xia Jue's gaze, smiled, waved to Xia Jue, turned and left the sunlight, walking into the corridor where the sunlight couldn't reach, and disappeared from Xia Jue's sight.
"Damn it!"
A hint of self-reproach flashed in Xia Jue's eyes.
The first two times, she was able to make excuses by saying that she was late.
But this time…
Xia Jue ran quickly downstairs to the inpatient department and saw Xia Xue already on her motorcycle and wearing a helmet. Xia Jue shouted, "Xiao Xue, if something like this happens again, leave it to me. You don't need to get your hands dirty."
Even if Liu Hui were alive, the final outcome would still be death.
Her sister didn't need to dirty her hands for such a scumbag who was destined to die.
Xia Xue paused for a moment, then, as if she hadn't heard, started the motorcycle.
The motorcycle roared and sped away into the distance. Xia Jue kept staring in the direction Xia Xue left, and vaguely saw Xia Xue waving at her with her back turned.
"This guy can't take his hands off the handlebars while riding a motorcycle; he has absolutely no sense of safety."
Xia Jue pressed the earpiece in her ear, first communicating with the person on the other end about the situation, and then took out her phone to make a call to Xia Jun.
"I see, the Darkfire organization? Okay, I'll use my connections to find them."
Xia Jun stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the top floor of the Tianhe Building and hung up the phone.
"As expected, what happened back then wasn't an accident!"
Xia Yao was, after all, just a young girl.
Even with sufficient resources, it's impossible to uncover the whole truth.
Moreover, this matter is indeed too bizarre.
"What exactly is their purpose in doing this?"
After the children were switched, they did not take care of them.
Let everything develop naturally.
There was no extortion or any other action taken.
These past eighteen years have been remarkably peaceful.
It's as if they never set up such a scheme.
"Such composure suggests great ambitions!"
Xia Jun snorted coldly.
"I'd like to see what you're really up to!"
Whoever dares to scheme against the Xia family will pay a bloody price.
