"Hmph, let it be, that kid lacks tempering. Having him go abroad to make his way might not necessarily be a bad thing," Old Ling grunted.
Ling Yan nodded and glanced at the clock, "Grandfather, are you planning to pay respects to uncle and auntie tonight?"
"Yes." The elder’s gaze dimd as he nodded solemnly.
"Why not let Ling Xiu know that every year on the anniversary of their death you visit their graves before midnight, instead telling him you’re attending a private eting, making him think you care only about the company and have forgotten even his parents?"
"Why stir up his painful mories? The child watched his parents get killed with his own eyes. I just hope he forgets that scene forever," Old Ling said sorrowfully. "Go now, accompany him."
"Alright, after I’ve seen him off, I’ll head straight to the cetery to et you."
...
Night had fallen, and Third Young Master Jun had regained a decisive and clear state of mind, with his strength restored.
"It’s ti to set off!" He stood up; his cool face was expressionless, bearing only a chilling, murderous aura.
"Target, Old Ling, must be assassinated!"
Feiyu and Yan Su’s eyes turned sharp, their spirits tensing up, then followed Third Young Master Jun out of the villa, driving off into the night without a sound.
The car sped along, and they still had approximately three hours before the expected appearance of their target.
Halfway there, after much hesitation, Third Young Master Jun still picked up the phone and called Ye Lu.
Today’s business was extrely dangerous. Even though he believed he had a seventy percent chance of success, he couldn’t rule out the possibility of the remaining thirty percent chance.
Old Ling was no ordinary man, and tonight could end in a life or death struggle.
Before such a deadly battle where lives were at stake, he longed to hear her gentle voice, to give him strength.
But Ye Lu’s phone was switched off, leaving him slightly stunned, he tried calling the villa and discovered Ye Lu wasn’t there either.
His expression shifted subtly as he hurriedly called Ilid, but Ilid hemd and hawed, "It seems, she’s gone back to the country."
"Back to the country?" Third Young Master Jun was shocked, his brows furrowed into a tight knot.
"Yes, I’ve checked her flight. She sneaked back to the country without even notifying . That’s really disloyal. But you don’t have to worry, flights in our country are always very safe. I reckon she just missed you too much, so she sneaked back to surprise you," Ilid said.
Third Young Master Jun’s eyes darkened; he didn’t believe Ye Lu was that type of cheesy woman. Could sothing have happened?
Did she know sothing?
Third Young Master Jun’s pupils contracted, and a tense feeling erged within him. It couldn’t be, she absolutely couldn’t know about his plan to assassinate Old Ling. Perhaps she ca back for so other reason.
After hanging up, he imdiately called a bodyguard, instructing soone to pick her up at the airport.
Soon, the vehicle silently reached the destination.
Stepping out from the shadows of the night, clad in professional outdoor combat gear, was Lie Feng. His tough and strong aura, calm yet sharp, had already arranged and set up every detail and person.
After Third Young Master Jun inspected everything, he was thoroughly satisfied. Lie Feng, having retired from one of the world’s top special forces units as an instructor, was unquestionably professional.
"Everything is ready; we just wait for the target to show. Everyone follow the plan—now, hide!" Third Young Master Jun commanded, and everyone disappeared into their designated spots.
The wilderness suddenly beca eerily quiet, showing no signs of anyone lying in ambush.
anwhile, on the other side, Ling Yan was driving Ling Xiu to the airport.
By the ti they arrived at the airport, it was already past nine in the evening, but the airport was still bustling, with many international flights arriving.
And just a few minutes later, Ye Lu’s plane also arrived at the airport.
