Sniper!

Zhao Qingshuang snapped back to reality, immediately diving to the ground, taking cover by the corner of the wall.

Jiang Tianran, who followed closely behind, was startled upon entering and seeing the shattered glass scattered across the floor.

Seeing their reactions, her years of mission experience kicked in, and she quickly crouched down, peering out the window.

"What's going on?"

Jiang Tianran's eyes narrowed, fury boiling inside her. On her own turf, someone dared to attack?

Did they think the Jiang Family was a pushover?

Zhao Qingshuang was equally bewildered, looking towards Qin Yun.

"Boss!"

Qin Yun squinted his eyes, "Stay put. There's a sniper outside, probably here to kill me."

He speculated internally, could it be someone sent by the higher-ups of other forces from that overseas mission?

Had they already discovered that the ancient Secret Realm's treasure had been consumed by him?

Truth be told, Qin Yun didn't even know what that thing was, only that after he had killed everyone, it suddenly flew out from the Secret Realm's treasure.

The one in the Capital had directly ordered him to swallow that "fruit," and then he was given a retirement order upon return.

But it shouldn't be!

Not to mention, all the special forces involved in the mission, except for him, were dead.

Even if someone knew he survived, his identity in the military was highly confidential, known only to the one in the Capital.

That person wouldn't betray him.

So who was this sniper?

A glint of sharpness flashed in Qin Yun's eyes, "If you want to know who he is, capture him and ask."

"You two stay here, I'll go meet him."

"Boss!" Jiang Tianran was worried, "Should I call for backup?"

Qin Yun snorted, "By the time your people arrive, this guy will be long gone."

"Stay put and follow orders."

With that, Qin Yun slapped the ground with both hands and flipped up.

Just then.

"Bang!"

Another bullet shot in from outside the window.

In mid-air, Qin Yun twisted his waist, narrowly dodging it.

Then.

He burst through the window, sprinting towards the opposite building with the speed of a cheetah.

From the two shots, the experienced Qin Yun immediately deduced that the sniper's position should be on the rooftop of the building opposite the villa.

It was an excellent sniping point.

On the other side, the sniper Viper was stunned by what he saw.

Lying on the rooftop, wearing sunglasses and clad in black combat gear, with a high-precision sniper rifle in hand, Viper was an experienced assassin who had never missed.

But today, he had missed twice in a row.

Viper spat out his gum and cursed, "Damn it, what kind of monster is this?"

"Who the hell gave me this job? The target is clearly a seasoned pro."

"No, I need to retreat!"

Viper didn't have time to think, discarding his sniper rifle and quickly grabbing his backpack to rush down the stairs.

However.

As he reached the stairway, he heard terrifying, heavy footsteps approaching from below.

Swish!

Viper was shocked, "So fast!"

"What kind of speed is this?"

The stairway was no longer an option; he had to find another way. Viper immediately returned to the rooftop, pulling a rappelling rope from his backpack and tossing it down.

Securing one end, he swiftly grabbed the rope with both hands, flipping over and descending rapidly, moving skillfully with each step against the wall.

But... just as he thought he could escape, as he descended to the third floor.

"Bang!"

The sound of a window being kicked in echoed in his ears.

A large hand reached out from the window at the perfect moment, grabbing his hair.

"Damn," Viper cursed internally, wanting to resist, but it was too late.

The powerful hand yanked him inside, slamming him hard against the wall.

"Smack!"

Pain surged through Viper's body, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, instinctively reaching for the dagger at his waist.

Seeing Qin Yun appear before him, waves of shock crashed through his mind. Without a word, he got up and lunged with the knife.

Qin Yun sneered, "You fool, trying hand-to-hand combat with me, you've picked the wrong opponent."

As he spoke, Qin Yun's nerves tightened. Just as the dagger was about to pierce his heart, he grabbed Viper's wrist with a reverse grip.

"Crack!"

The sound of bones breaking echoed.

"Ah!"

Viper screamed in agony, dropping the dagger to the ground.

Qin Yun kicked him hard.

"Bang!"

Viper flew back, slamming into the wall, spewing another mouthful of blood, completely losing the strength to resist.

Qin Yun scoffed, "This is nothing compared to the foreign special forces I encountered on my last mission."

"What level is this?"

Qin Yun was certain this wasn't an assassin sent by those people.

If it were their people, they wouldn't be this incompetent.

So!

It was someone else.

Qin Yun stepped forward, pinning Viper's wrist under his foot, and coldly asked, "Who sent you?"

After a few seconds, there was no response.

Qin Yun was taken aback, immediately prying open Viper's mouth to find a pool of black liquid inside.

"Poison!"

"Did he commit suicide?"

"Fuck, what kind of resolve is this? Failing the mission and committing suicide, you're an assassin."

Even after retiring, trying to live a peaceful life in this big city, he still encountered such a well-trained character?

Who on earth wanted him dead?

"Smack!"

Qin Yun lightly slapped his own face, "Qin Yun, how could you be so careless? Just because you're retired, you let your guard down. It was obvious he was prepared to die."

In the past, Qin Yun wouldn't have made such a mistake. It seemed life had been too easy lately.

With no other choice, Qin Yun dragged Viper's corpse out of the building, returning to the villa, and tossed it into the living room.

Zhao Qingshuang and Jiang Tianran came down from upstairs, their faces changing at the sight of the dead assassin.

Zhao Qingshuang glared at Jiang Tianran, "Is this how you take care of the boss?"

"Tianran, if you can't handle it, I'll take over from here."

Jiang Tianran was furious, "How was I supposed to know there'd be an assassin? Zhao Qingshuang, don't talk nonsense. We agreed I'd take care of the boss, so stay out of it and go back to your Guang'an."

Zhao Qingshuang pursed her lips, "I didn't plan on going back this time, so shut up!"

"You..."

"Enough, stop arguing." Qin Yun's head was pounding. Back in the team, he never saw these two bickering like this.

Now that they were back in their female forms, it was truly giving him a headache.

"Tianran, check this guy's identity."

"I need to know who's behind him."

"Yes!" Jiang Tianran nodded.

Zhao Qingshuang smirked, "Boss, what about me?"

Qin Yun looked puzzled, "What do you mean? How should I know what you're doing? By the way, why are you in Jiangnan?"

"Aren't the six of you busy?"

"Wait..."

Qin Yun looked Zhao Qingshuang up and down.

Stunned!

"How are you so beautiful too?"
