"Forget it, forget it. No point getting angry and making myself sick. Gathering information is more important."

Ling Han took a deep breath and placed her cool, jade-like hand gently on Tang Yu's head, massaging it lightly.

"Oh, that's nice. Your technique is quite good," Tang Yu said with a face full of pleasure.

【This is what I call a divine life. Her technique is so professional.】

【Sigh, such a beautiful girl, why does she have to be an assassin?】

【If she stayed at my place as a maid, working two hours a day and enjoying herself the rest of the time, that would be the life she deserves.】

【The assassin's world is so dangerous. Fighting and hiding every day, how exhausting for a girl.】

Ling Han was slightly taken aback and even a bit touched upon hearing Tang Yu's inner thoughts.

He knew she was an enemy, yet he still cared for her well-being?

Deep down, she had indeed had such thoughts before.

Why couldn't she live like other girls?

Living an ordinary life, going to school, working, playing games, shopping with her besties, and finding a boy she liked to date.

In her world, it was all about killing and completing missions.

Dealing with all sorts of people every day, narrowly escaping death countless times.

Living on the edge was truly exhausting.

She also wanted to be an ordinary girl.

Collecting protection fees, eating free desserts at a sweets shop.

"Young Master Tang, do you have any siblings?" Ling Han suddenly asked.

"No, I'm an only child. I do have a few cousins though," Tang Yu replied with a smile.

【Speaking of cousins, I think of that snitch Tang Ruoyu.】

【That idiot is now a vice president at Meile Foods, but he hasn't made any moves yet.】

【Ye Chen is also hiding somewhere. Without his orders, Tang Ruoyu shouldn't be up to any tricks recently.】

【If he does make a move, it's fine. He's under 24-hour surveillance anyway.】

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

"……"

Ling Han had to admit, this man was quite cunning. No wonder the Dragon King suffered at his hands.

Even Tang Ruoyu, a key pawn, was tightly controlled by him.

"I'll inform the Dragon King later," Ling Han muttered to herself, growing more curious about Tang Yu.

This man knew too much.

Luckily, she could hear his inner thoughts!

She started massaging Tang Yu's shoulders and asked softly, "Young Master Tang, is this pressure okay?"

"Yes, it's perfect," Tang Yu gave her a thumbs up.

It felt really good.

After being here for so long, he finally enjoyed the proper treatment of a rich and handsome villain.

"So, Young Master Tang, does this mean I've passed and can stay as a maid?" Ling Han asked softly.

Tang Yu thought for a moment.

It seemed he couldn't find a reason to directly kick her out; that would be too obvious and might alert her.

"As long as you can adapt to the job, it's fine. If you can't, just let me know. You can leave anytime, and your salary won't be short."

Tang Yu took the opportunity to pat her leg.

【Heh, you wanted to stay, so don't blame me for being shameless.】

【If you can't take it, just leave. Don't force yourself.】

【But honestly, if your family hadn't been harmed by Ye Chen's master, your status wouldn't be much lower than mine.】

【Losing your parents and brother at a young age, and being taken by your enemy to be trained as an assassin, you're also a pitiful person. Sigh.】

Thinking about Ling Han's background, Tang Yu couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.

In the original plot, Ling Han's parents were targets of Ye Chen's master.

After killing them, Ye Chen's master intended to take the three-year-old siblings to train.

At that age, children have little memory, and since Ye Chen's master didn't kill them in front of her, he wasn't worried about revenge.

But since her brother didn't cooperate, he was killed on the spot.

Unaware, Ling Han was taken and trained, eventually becoming an outstanding assassin.

The Dragon Soul organization was powerful precisely because they liked to train orphans with no attachments into killing machines!

In an organization of hundreds, you couldn't find ten with parents.

Later, when Ling Han discovered this secret, she only hated Ye Chen's master, remaining loyal to Ye Chen.

After all, in feel-good novels, even if the Dragon King killed the heroine's entire family, she would still fall in love with him, justifying it with his hidden pain.

Ling Han, who was massaging Tang Yu's shoulders, suddenly stopped.

She was stunned, unable to believe what she had just heard.

The reason she came to Tang Yu was to find out about her brother.

An elder in the organization had told her that her parents were killed by an assassin organization, and he had only managed to save her.

As for her brother, the elder said he was missing.

Later, she destroyed that assassin organization for revenge but still couldn't find any information about her brother.

The mastermind behind it all was the elder she deeply respected?

Her eyes reddened, and she couldn't suppress her killing intent!

"Why did you stop?" Tang Yu, who was enjoying himself, asked.

"I... I need to use the restroom," Ling Han said in a low voice.

"Go ahead," Tang Yu said, flipping onto the carpet, waiting for her to come back and continue the massage.

If she decided to stay, he would have her massage him for two to three hours every day.

After all, her target was him, and he was now as tough as nails, unafraid!

Ling Han, with a chaotic mind, washed her face in the restroom to calm down.

Inner thoughts don't lie.

But she still wanted to investigate further to confirm the truth!

If that elder was indeed her enemy.

Then from now on, she would stand against the Dragon Soul organization!

"Take it slow, no rush," she took another deep breath to adjust her mindset.

She had endured for so many years; a little more time wouldn't hurt.

As for the information she just heard from Tang Yu about Tang Ruoyu.

She would definitely not tell Ye Chen!

When she returned, there was another young man in the room.

It was Tang Ruoyu, who had come with gifts to visit Tang Yu.

"Brother, didn't you get engaged to Miss Su recently? I brought a gift for you two," he said with a smile, handing over an exquisite box to Tang Yu.

Tang Yu opened it and saw two Van Cleef & Arpels diamond rings inside.

"Thank you, that's very thoughtful," Tang Yu chuckled.

This snitch was up to no good, being so courteous.

He casually asked, "How's work at the company?"

"There's a lot to learn. I feel quite inadequate. If only I had half your talent, Brother," Tang Ruoyu said humbly.

"Indeed, if you had half my talent, it would be great," Tang Yu nodded.

Then you wouldn't have scored a 250 on the college entrance exam.

Tang Ruoyu was slightly taken aback. Why was his brother not following the usual pattern?

He felt a bit annoyed but maintained a respectful demeanor, "By the way, Brother, I've noticed a problem at the company."

"What problem?"

"The accounts don't match up. I suspect some managers are cooking the books. I wanted to ask you to take a look."

"Cooking the books?"

Tang Yu glanced at him and nodded, "Alright, when?"

"In a couple of days. I'll gather the evidence first and let you know."

Seeing Tang Yu agree, Tang Ruoyu's eyes showed a hint of joy.

An hour ago, four men approached him, saying they were sent by Young Master Ye.

They wanted him to find a way to lure Tang Yu out alone, so they could kill him!

With this guy dead, no one in the Tang Family could compete with him for power!
