Since he had made an appointment with Ling Lai the next night, Xiao Zheng decided not to wait for the night and went back to the hotel to sleep. He was ready for the tough battle tomorrow.
It was already four in the morning when he returned to the hotel. Xiao Zheng tiptoed to open the door, only to find a figure standing by the bed, looking at him with a cold gaze. He smiled bitterly, "It's me."
Tina's sensitivity had reached an extremely high level. Even in a deep sleep, she could quickly wake up. Of course, it was unknown whether Tina was like Lin Huayin, a woman who had difficulty in deep sleep. After all, he and Tina had a tacit understanding during the mission, but that didn't mean he needed to sleep and eat with Tina.
On this point, Tina had always kept her distance from Xiao Zheng. They didn't do anything overly intimate.
After confirming it was Xiao Zheng, Tina didn't turn on the lights and asked Xiao Zheng in the dark, "Why are you back?"
Lin Huayin would always leave the lights on for Xiao Zheng, but Tina didn't have such a habit. On the contrary, whether it was when Xiao Zheng came back or when she was alone in the room, she didn't like to turn on the lights. This had to do with the environment she lived in. It was hard to change in a short time.
Perhaps to accommodate Tina, Xiao Zheng didn't turn on the lights. He walked straight into the room and sat on the chair by the bed, "I saw her daughter just now."
"Prince Ling Lai?" Tina asked straightforwardly.
"You know her too?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously.
"The abandoned child of the royal family. Even her mother despises her, "Tina said calmly.
"But I saw a terrifying aura from her that even Sophia doesn't have," Xiao Zheng said meaningfully. "But she's crippled — no, paralyzed. She's been living in a wheelchair since she was young. "
"Paralyzed?" Tina pursed her lips slightly. "I don't know about that."
"Seems like the royal family did a good job in keeping the Princess a secret. They're probably afraid that her disability will ruin the royal family's reputation, "Xiao Zheng said.
Tina, however, did not care about that. She asked calmly, "She came to you?"
"Okay." Xiao Zheng opened a bottle of water. He nodded and said.
"What do you want?" Tina asked.
"Kill Itō," Xiao Zheng said in a deep voice.
"We wanted to kill Itō anyway. Why would she do that? "Tina asked curiously.
"She wants to increase her chances of winning." Xiao Zheng smiled. "It seems like she's even more anxious about the success of this mission than I am."
"Reason?" Tina asked.
"The reason Ling Lai gave was that Itō had tainted the Imperial Family and forcibly occupied her mother," Xiao Zheng said with pursed lips. "As for the specific reason, I didn't ask, nor am I interested in knowing."
Tina nodded lightly and said, "You rest. I'll go monitor them."
"No need." Xiao Zheng waved his hand. "I'll go to Itō's house with her tomorrow night. There's no need for surveillance tonight. "
"You're going with her?" A hint of worry flashed across Tina's face.
"Yes." Xiao Zheng nodded.
"What if she's working together with Itō?" Tina asked worriedly.
Ling Lai and Itō working together?
Xiao Zheng frowned and fell into deep thought.
He had already thought about this problem in Ling Lai's mansion. Now that Tina mentioned it again, Xiao Zheng could not help but think about it again.
From the current information, Ling Lai and Shang Yao were colluding — of course, this so-called collusion was not a negative description. In fact, which person in power did not have a few allies? Even Lin Laoyao, who was at the peak of his power, was not colluding with Chang Yishan?
Secondly, this mission was proposed by Shang Yao. Looking at the cost, the price that Shang Yao paid to convince him to carry out the mission was much more expensive than the 100 million pounds that Sophia hired him for.
If all of this was a trap, then Shang Yao and Ling Lai would only have one goal — to kill him!
No matter how arrogant Xiao Zheng was, he would not be that arrogant.
"I can't say that what you're worried about is 100% impossible." Xiao Zheng smiled and walked to the window, pulling a corner of the curtain.
When carrying out a mission, everything had to be kept low-key. Even if they checked into a hotel, the curtains would be closed the whole day. It was the same for Xiao Zheng and Tina as well.
That was the reason why Xiao Zheng never mentioned the past to Lin Huayin. It was too dark, too depressing. Xiao Zheng did not want such a rotten and sinful life to affect Lin Huayin's mind.
"But when we carry out a mission, how can we be 100% safe?" Xiao Zheng looked at the dark night sky and said. "At least based on our current situation, working with Ling Lai is one of the most effective ways. The risk will also be minimized. "
Tina listened to Xiao Zheng's narration. After a moment of silence, she took the initiative to speak, "What about me?"
Xiao Zheng heard her and slowly turned around. He smiled and said, "Since we're going to assassinate Itō from the inside, you don't have to sneak in with me. After all, the more the lurkers, the higher the risk. "
"No." Tina's expression changed and said firmly. "If you go in alone, even if you're confident in assassinating Itō, there will be too many variables. Moreover, according to my observation of this villa, there are at least 30 ninja masters in it. "
"I don't need to fight them one by one." Xiao Zheng explained. "Once the assassination is successful, I'll retreat immediately."
"Are you confident in killing Itō with one slash?" Tina stood up slowly and stared at Xiao Zheng.
"No." Xiao Zheng shook his head honestly.
"Those high-level ninjas will reach Itō within seconds." Tina pursed her lips and said. "By then, the problem isn't whether you're willing to fight them head-on. It's whether you have the chance to bypass them and assassinate Itō successfully. "
Xiao Zheng was silent.
He knew what Tina said was true. Basically, he was sure that once there was a crisis in the villa, those ninjas hiding in the dark would reach Itō immediately. Moreover, other than those ninjas who were destined to interfere with the mission, there was still the unpredictable Yuki by Itō's side.
Therefore, even if Xiao Zheng could successfully sneak to Itō's side, it would be extremely difficult to complete this mission.
"Only I can truly increase your success rate." Tina said meticulously. "Assassinating a peerless powerhouse doesn't rely on simple schemes and calculations, but strength."
Hearing that, Xiao Zheng couldn't help but smile and teased, "Sister Tina, when did you become so confident?"
"Recently." Tina's eyes were clear, and a hint of softness flashed across her cold face.
It was Xiao Zheng who made her strong. It was also Xiao Zheng who made her fearless.
How could a fearless and powerful woman not be confident?
Xiao Zheng extended his right hand and said with a smile, "Looks like we'll have to fight side by side."
Clap.
Tina extended her right hand and high-fived Xiao Zheng like a brother, "We're the best partners."
