The Female CEO Falls in Love with Me

(Adding the fifth update I mentioned yesterday. Another [Lucyfel] brother was promoted to Elder! [5261941][長风~~] two brothers became new Squad Leaders! The reward list on Red Books jumped to 85th place! Thank you all for your love and support!)

The weekend arrived quickly.

To ensure a victorious return, Li Yan appeared relaxed, but in truth, he was not careless. Through 5261941's information, combined with the latest data collected by Shi Jian'en in G City, he had a more detailed understanding of the Yun Country man named Wang Daocang known as Di弗赖? Mario.

Everything was connected by Yue Yao using the name Queen, and Li Yan did not make any grand announcements; he maintained his usual tranquility.

After work that day, he only told Zhang Yurong he would be out for two days but didn't disclose his whereabouts to anyone, not even to Zhang Yurong. He then directly took an intercity express bus, arriving in a neighboring city, G City, within an hour and a bit, then took a taxi to the hotel where Wang Daocang was staying.

As he entered the hotel, Li Yan had already prepared his disguise, wearing a baseball cap to block surveillance cameras and a pair of exaggerated black-framed glasses—something he learned from Hai Fu.

Shi Jian'en, who had arrived earlier, was already staying on the same floor; he was now going to meet up with Shi Jian'en.

"Who is it?" Shi Jian'en asked when he heard the knock at the door, having already rushed to the door. During mission execution, one must maintain high vigilance at all times. Just as he could gather information on others, others could also gather information on him. Successful assassins have also been counter-killed.

"Is this room 526?" Because 526 comes from the first three digits of 5261941 and follows no other pattern, but all core members know it, so it sometimes becomes their contact code.

Upon hearing this, Shi Jian'en realized it was Queen who arranged for a colleague to help him. Although he thought he could handle it himself, he followed the arrangement.

"You've got the wrong place, this isn't it."

He replied as such, but immediately opened the door. The person outside quickly came in, leaving him with a back view already moving to the interior.

"I don't care who you are, if you're here, you have to follow my arrangements." Shi Jian'en closed the door, coldly watching the somewhat familiar figure in the room. "I am the one leading the operation this time!"

"No problem. If you can easily complete the mission, I won't say more." Li Yan smiled, turning his head and removing his hat and glasses.

"King?! How could it be you?!" Hearing his voice and seeing Li Yan's face, Shi Jian'en couldn't help but feel a bit excited. Since Queen had only said someone would come to help, he originally thought she wanted him to mentor a rookie.

Li Yan sat down himself, signaling for him to sit as well, "Calm down, you are the mission leader!"

Shi Jian'en felt a bit embarrassed hearing this, "Boss, I didn't know it was you. With you here, where's the place for me to lead? I'm at your command!"

In his view, if a rookie was being sent over to learn, he would have been slightly displeased; if someone of equal rank was sent to assist, even more displeased. But now it was Li Yan, whom he sincerely admired, and there was nothing more to be said.

"Let's analyze the situation first!"

Shi Jian'en quickly opened a combination lock, took out a laptop from a small box, booted it up, and gathered all the mission data on the table.

"Boss, I didn't know it would be you coming over, so the data I compressed and sent to Queen wasn't very detailed." Shi Jian'en felt a bit embarrassed, even though he had grown into a "拳" level assassin, the ace of the organization, in front of Li Yan, he felt like a humble student.

Li Yan asked him to explain all the material once, and he had a full grasp of the situation. He then asked, "If I hadn't come, how were you planning to act?"

Shi Jian'en became serious: "He arrived yesterday; his vigilance would be highest last night and tomorrow night before leaving. Today, he attended a trade fair all day without any issues. Tonight and tomorrow, according to the schedule, his guard should be relatively down. He rented a three-room suite, and there are always two bodyguards protecting him closely. It's not easy to act in the hotel. I planned to act when he returns from the trade fair tomorrow."

"Handgun?" Li Yan didn't comment on his plan, merely inquiring.

"Yes, a handgun." Shi Jian'en said somewhat sheepishly: "I don't have your skills, Boss; using a gun seems more secure."

Seeing Li Yan in silent contemplation, he quickly added: "That was my original plan, but now that you are here, of course, I will follow your arrangements. I believe you will definitely have a better plan. I'll learn well from you."

Li Yan shook his head: "The S-Class missions I successfully completed often made the targets appear to die by accident. But don't forget, those missions didn't have such tight timelines, allowing me to observe carefully, grasp patterns, and set traps for accidents. Wang Daocang is different; I must eliminate him within these two days. Once he leaves, it will be truly more challenging to kill him. Time is insufficient for a careful plan now."

"So the boss's meaning is..." Shi Jian'en understood that even if there was no time to arrange an accidental death, with Li Yan's capability, there would definitely be a better arrangement than he could make.

"A spur-of-the-moment action, your arrangement is somewhat secure. But you overlooked two people..." Li Yan looked at him.

Shi Jian'en was puzzled: "You're talking about those two bodyguards?" Wang Daocang's entourage not only included business subordinates but also two personal bodyguards who lived and ate with him.

"That's correct."

"I've observed, these two aren't weak, barehanded I might not be able to handle them, but if I use a gun..." Shi Jian'en confidently said, "With my shooting skills, I can assure you I can shoot Wang Daocang even under their protection!"

"Wrong! If you use a gun, they will know before you even aim." Li Yan gently shook his head.

Shi Jian'en was shocked, realizing Li Yan's personal visit indicated his concern, thinking it was about Mario's identity, he never imagined it was actually about those two bodyguards!

Li Yan moved the computer over and pointed to the two bodyguards. "Tell me about your understanding and evaluation of them."

Shi Jian'en seriously said, "According to the existing information, these two have been following Mario for five years. During this time, Mario hasn't had any incidents, which besides Mario's own strength, also shows their strong protection capabilities. So I chose not to engage them directly."

"Have you heard of the 'Red Shark Mercenary Corps'?" Li Yan suddenly switched topics.

Shi Jian'en, being a clever man, understood immediately, his face became heavier: "Heard of it, a very strong mercenary corps with few members, known for their presence in many war-torn regions. Are you saying these two are retired mercenaries from the Red Shark Mercenary Corps?"

Li Yan smiled slightly: "Indeed, they are from the Red Shark Mercenary Corps, but not retired mercenaries. They're at their peak, recruited with high wages by the Wang Daocang we are facing now."

Mercenaries and assassins are different professions but quite similar, with one being overt and the other covert. Compared to the effort and reward, bodyguards have lower risk as long as the price is right, making them more worthwhile.

"So that's how it is. Fortunately, you're here or I might have failed." Shi Jian'en smiled wryly.

As an assassin, he knows well that assassins excel in assassination techniques but specialize in stealth attacks. Mercenaries coming through gunfire and bullets have a keener sense of danger regarding firearms and ammunition! Against ordinary people, shooting assassination has a high success rate, but against mercenaries, by the time you wait for the opportunity, they have already sensed it.

"Mario has many enemies, enemies, competitors, many want him dead. For anyone truly useful to him, he only takes these two with him, which hints at their capability."

"Right!" Shi Jian'en learned seriously, acknowledging his gap with him, grateful for his personal visit.

"Don't be discouraged, that's merely their forte. If we leverage our strengths well, even you alone can kill all three!" Li Yan encouraged him.

"Then what should we do now?"

"Study the information, track the people."

Li Yan came prepared but still not sufficiently. For an assassin, a botched attempt often costs more for a second success. He was very serious about researching Mario's information on the computer. Shi Jian'en used his method to surveil and track them.

...

All their information was from ordinary investigation methods, and some from Yu Mocheng. They have gotten pretty close to Mario. Yet, someone like him remains cautious, finding his weaknesses isn't easy.

One night passed, Shi Jian'en found they were still confined in their room, not going out for dinner, having it delivered by hotel staff. They weren't going out to nightlife spots like nightclubs or bars either, three men staying in the room, finished their business, still seemed very lonely and bored.

Yu Mocheng only wants Mario's life. If possible, Li Yan doesn't want the lives of those two elite mercenary bodyguards.

Assassins kill for money, and wouldn't randomly kill innocents unless necessary. Especially Li Yan, who is enigmatic and long-lasting, becoming the legendary King of Assassins, was because his kills appeared as accidents. Those outside the circle simply didn't know it was an assassination, naturally making it safer.
