Chapter 699 Someone Leaked the Secret
"Maybe the president is the son of the old president."
Qin Hao yawned, feeling there was no need to think further.
Now, the origins of the assassins were clear, and his mind was no longer burdened with heavy doubts.
As for that so-called president, it seemed unrelated to him, knowing or not knowing was inconsequential.
"The Evil God Association has just resurfaced; recruiting talent everywhere must be for a rise. However, due to the past painful history, people surely won't join forces with the Evil God Association... so, this attempt by the Evil God Association should be hard to take off..."
After analyzing internally, Chen Ruohao felt a bit relieved. He smiled and praised: "Younger Brother Qin, this time you slew five Evil God Association assassins and protected the Sir's life, yet another great contribution!"
Qin Hao helplessly waved his hand: "It's a pity they're only C-level!"
Within the Alliance, there's a dossier that records the completion of members' tasks.
The more tasks completed and the higher their level, the more impressive the dossier, increasing the chances for promotion.
It could be said that those sitting in the high ranks now all had sparkling histories.
"That's not right. My trip to Huaxia was known only to three people; why would the Evil God Association know?"
At this moment, Tywin muttered, his expression full of confusion.
Qin Hao hadn't paid attention initially, but upon hearing this, his face gradually turned cold: "Someone leaked your location!"
"Who?!"
Both Chen Ruohao and Tywin looked at him in astonishment.
"I don't know yet."
Qin Hao shook his head but analyzed: "The Evil God Association's headquarters is in Europe, and since it has just resurfaced, its influence shouldn't reach deep into Huaxia. So, Shanghai shouldn't have their intelligence stations. Sir, do you trust Tom?"
"Are you suggesting Tom?"
Tywin's face changed dramatically, immediately shaking his head resolutely: "No, it can't be him. I watched him grow up, there's no reason he'd do such a thing!"
Qin Hao also nodded silently. The three of them had long-term contact and had paid attention to Tom several times.
This blonde young man, aside from being jealous and envious, hadn't shown any evil tendencies.
The chances of him being the informant were slim.
Then, the possibility of a leak might be from the Ancient Martial Alliance.
Thinking of this, Qin Hao's expression turned grim. He looked up at Chen Ruohao, noticing the other's calm demeanor while also intently watching him.
With just a glance shared, they understood they were thinking the same thing.
"Younger Brother Qin, I'll handle the aftermath here. You've been injured, so go back and recover first..."
Chen Ruohao said with a meaningful expression.
"Okay."
Because of the leak, Qin Hao was in a bad mood and wanted to leave the place to find solace.
Before leaving, Tywin approached, his expression hesitant, hesitating for a few seconds.
Finally, he bent down, casting aside his noble demeanor, and gratefully said: "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for saving me!"
His tone was filled with remorse, reflecting his inner feelings.
Earlier, he looked down on Qin Hao, yet now he was saved by him.
It was a very ironic situation. Although Tywin felt complicated, he did what needed to be done.
Shirley saw this scene, her face full of surprise: Her stiff father actually apologized to a young man?
This was something she had never seen from childhood, naturally, she found it quite astonishing.
Qin Hao helped Tywin up, smiling as he said: "There's no need for such formality, Sir. As your attendant, it's my duty to protect you."
In his heart, he proudly thought: Old stick-in-the-mud, finally realized my prowess, huh?
Tywin's old face turned red; he previously dismissed Qin Hao, relegating him to his daughter as a bag carrier.
Feeling awkward, Tywin could only change the subject, pointing at Qin Hao's left shoulder and saying: "Mr. Qin, your wound is bleeding, it's best to have the bullet removed first..."
Before he finished speaking, Qin Hao controlled his shoulder to push the bullet out from the depths of his left shoulder.
Clang.
The bullet fell to the ground, making Tywin even more embarrassed.
"Mr. Qin truly is an extraordinary person, capable of squeezing out a bullet; truly... truly a great figure..."
Tywin clearly wasn't good at flattery, his tone dry and awkward.
After being sarcastic, Qin Hao didn't bother with the old stiff, his eyes directly looking at Shirley: Sister, I'm leaving, aren't you going to try and keep me?
Shirley felt nervous inside. For some reason, Qin Hao's gaze seemed to have a penetrating power that could see through her body and mind, making her very shy.
In any case, since even her father apologized, her apologizing should be fine.
Thinking so, Shirley softly said: "Good brother... thank you for saving me and my father..."
These words took Chen Ruohao, who was conversing with his subordinates, by surprise. Seeing Shirley's slightly flushed face, he was utterly shocked: "Good brother? The Night Emperor's charm is no less than his strength!"
"Hehe, Princess, I shall leave now. I'll come find you to play once I'm healed!"
Having achieved his goal, Qin Hao didn't linger; he turned and left.
Behind him, Shirley's mouth slightly opened as if wanting to call out, but seeing her father's expression, she closed her mouth, her heart aching as if a piece was cut away.
When Qin Hao returned to headquarters, it was already three in the early morning.
He first went to the internal pharmacy to get some hemostatic medicine, casually bandaging his wound before preparing to leave headquarters.
The sudden attack tonight had affected his plan to assassinate Qi Tianzong.
However, the impact was merely on timing, at most allowing Qi Tianzong a few more hours of life.
To Qin Hao, Qi Tianzong must die tonight; this plan wasn't changing.
He confidently went to a lounge in the headquarters, then using his knowledge of the layout, he crawled into the ventilation ducts, avoiding areas with surveillance, and left the building in a state of "Invisibility."
It was then that the phone rang, and upon seeing the number, Qin Hao let out a helpless laugh before returning.
Back in the lounge, sure enough, Chen Ruohao was waiting.
"Haha, Younger Brother Qin finally returned."
The old Fox's first words carried a deep meaning.
Qin Hao remained unflustered, sitting casually on the sofa: "Just had a backache earlier, went out for a walk."
Chen Ruohao didn't dwell on this subject, his expression turning serious: "Younger Brother Qin, what are your thoughts on today's assassination?"
Qin Hao was speechless inside: Aren't you thinking the same as me? Otherwise, you wouldn't have rushed back for a meeting with me.
He yawned and said: "There's a traitor within the Alliance."
Chen Ruohao's face was extremely complicated: "Even though I don't want to admit it, it seems Younger Brother Qin and I are on the same page!"
After saying that, he didn't forget to ask: "Does Younger Brother Qin have any suspects?"
Qin Hao smiled slightly: "Within the Alliance, only you and I know Sir Tywin's exact location. Of course, I believe in myself, so the only suspect would be you, Alliance Leader?"
