The news delivered by Chen Da was quite timely. Although Qin Fang was part of the underground world and an Assassin's Alliance member, he wasn't a very competent assassin, as he wasn't even aware of the latest movements within the Assassin's Alliance...

A staggering bounty of thirty million US Dollars is a significant offer even on the assassin trading platform, enough to attract Five-Star Assassins.

If Qin Fang had been a little more attentive, he would have noticed this massive bounty earlier, and he would have been on guard in advance.

Undoubtedly, Qin Fang received the news a bit late. Those assassins had already appeared, but they went to Ninghai only to find no trace of him.

At the same time, Qin Fang believed that those who were willing to pay a high price clearly already knew that he wasn't in Ninghai but in Jiangzhou, which might mean someone had already come over, maybe even secretly ambushed!

Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives!

Just as Chen Da hung up, Shen Liang's call came in, and as soon as the call was connected, Shen Liang spoke urgently before Qin Fang could even utter a word.

"Young Master Qin, there seems to be a problem here. Some unidentified people have appeared..."

Almost as soon as he said this, Shen Liang seemed to have encountered something, and Qin Fang could vaguely hear the sound of the wind, as if Shen Liang was running at high speed.

"Unidentified people?"

Qin Fang paused slightly at the words, furrowing his brows but quickly relaxing, "Could it be that someone has already arrived in Jiangzhou?"

Qin Fang had just been pondering whether any assassins had arrived in Jiangzhou and were lurking nearby. Now Shen Liang had noticed something unusual there.

It's not just unusual; judging by the commotion from Shen Liang's side, it seemed more troublesome than Qin Fang had imagined.

"Must make a trip..."

If it was indeed a case of assassins lurking around and suddenly going after Chu Yunxuan and the others, it was definitely targeted at him, Qin Fang.

Although Shen Liang was a decent bodyguard, with sufficient strength, having reached Level 5 by now, he obviously still wasn't enough to deal with those assassins.

It was already quite difficult to deal with Four-Star Assassins, let alone the hidden Five-Star Assassins. Even someone as strong as Qin Fang didn't dare to claim he could definitely handle a Five-Star Assassin...

Although Qin Fang was currently only a Three-Star Assassin, his actual combat power was not weaker than that of a Five-Star Assassin, perhaps even stronger.

But for an assassin to gradually rise to the level of a Five-Star Assassin speaks volumes, proving that their strength is undeniably formidable and that the blood on their hands is countless.

Having killed so many people, their murderous aura is extremely dense, and their assassination techniques are terrifyingly proficient, allowing a Five-Star Assassin to possess the capability to kill above their rank.

If it were purely a sneak attack, it's not impossible to kill two ranks above... Although so far, it seems few Five-Star Assassins have managed to kill Grandmaster-level Experts!

But Qin Fang was not a Grandmaster-level Expert, only a Quasi-Grandmaster-level Expert at best, and even with that slight difference in title, the difference in strength was quite significant. Facing such a Five-Star Assassin naturally carried great risk...

From Shen Liang's implication, Qin Fang estimated it was likely that assassins had indeed arrived, but they didn't come directly for Qin Fang; they seemed to be planning to take a roundabout approach, getting to Chu Yunxuan first, in an attempt to use her to put pressure on Qin Fang, which would possibly complicate matters extensively.

Qin Fang understood very clearly, so he couldn't stay in the hotel any longer, quickly going downstairs and driving straight to the spa center where Chu Yunxuan and Helen were having a spa treatment.

Traffic in Jiangzhou was a significant issue even at midnight, with many vehicles still on the road. Fortunately, there wasn't much congestion along the way, and thanks to Qin Fang's exceptional driving skills, he reached the spa center in the shortest possible time.

Shen Liang was no longer there, and Qin Fang wasn't sure where he had gone, but presumably, he hadn't gone far, likely nearby.

"Lured away?"

Qin Fang furrowed his brows again, unable to see Shen Liang or receive any news, understandably leading him to this thought.

However, Qin Fang wasn't too concerned. If he hadn't arrived, Shen Liang's absence would significantly impact Chu Yunxuan's safety.

But since Qin Fang was already there, everything naturally fell under his control, and those assassins hiding in the dark gradually revealed themselves on Qin Fang's mini-map's radar.

"One, two, three, four, five... six!"

Qin Fang, following the indicators on the mini-map showing these assassins hidden in the dark, counted briefly and discovered that there were quite a number of them.

Most assassins are lone wolves because it's hard for them to find someone they can trust, especially someone they would trust with their life's safety.

Of course, there are also group-style assassins with a few people in a small group, which is slightly larger than an average assassin squad, but such groups aren't numerous. More often, it's the lone wolves venturing into the dragon pool tiger den that are more common...
