"I don't want to hurt you either, but since you're like this, don't blame me."

The woman lunged with her knife, but Luo Chao dodged it.

The knife brushed past him, and Luo Chao grabbed the woman's clothes and pulled her over.

"How about it? Now you see it, your knife can't hurt me. Since we're both going to Haiyang City, why not go together?"

Luo Chao said with a smile. The woman was stunned. Was this man the assassin hired by the other side? It seemed that even if she went, she wouldn't gain anything.

"I never expected that they would hire such a formidable person. It looks like I've lost this time."

The woman was quite helpless. Although she wanted to give it a try, the outcome was likely to end in failure.

An assassin's failed mission would become the biggest stain on her career, but if she faced such a strong enemy, there was nothing she could do.

"I'm going to Haiyang City to do business. There are some issues at home that I can't resolve, so I'm going to help solve them." But that figure is indeed something.

Luo Chao couldn't help but feel reluctant, but he let go of the woman.

"Business? What kind of business? It's not the kind that goes 'ka-chop', is it?" The woman laughed and said. Many prominent families solve issues internally that they can't resolve publicly, and assassination is one of them.

"Absolutely not. I haven't been in that business for a long time, but this time be careful, I've heard that place is not very peaceful now." Luo Chao advised kindly.

"Not very peaceful? Not very peaceful and yet you're going. Well, with your skills, you'll be perfectly capable of protecting yourself."

Thinking of Luo Chao's skills earlier, the woman felt her advice was unnecessary.

The car soon entered Haiyang City, and before that, the woman had already disappeared from Luo Chao's sight. Luo Chao watched her as she went away. People who can afford such individuals are rare in this place.

And since they hired such an assassin, it most likely means they're out to kill someone. Hopefully, he doesn't end up being my enemy.

"If it comes to it, we have to assassinate the opponent. It's the only way we can achieve ultimate victory and eliminate part of that family here."

The man spoke passionately, and the others unanimously agreed. A woman stood in the center. However, no one dared to approach her, even though she was very beautiful.

This woman was a formidable assassin. If she suddenly attacked, one might not escape death, so it was better to stay far away from her.

"Alright, understood. I shall take my leave now."

After receiving the deposit, the woman quickly left. She was well aware of tasks involving assassination to send a warning.

"I wonder where that person is now. Hopefully, we won't become enemies. Quite an interesting fellow, better not let me down."

Shortly after the woman left, Luo Chao also arrived at his destination. Remembering last time when he almost was kicked out for looking unkempt.

"Who are you looking for? Do you have an appointment?" the woman asked politely. She didn't know who the young man in front of her was, but his attire suggested someone of substantial means.

"Uncle Jiang asked me to find this person." Luo Chao took out a photo and said with a smile.

Seeing the photo, the woman froze. The person in the photo was indeed the one in front of her. This individual was the head of the Jiang Group here.

Can it really be useful to seek help from someone so unreliable?

"Please wait; I'll contact someone higher up." Luo Chao also felt somewhat reluctant, suspecting the notification might take a while.

All morning passed, and Luo Chao had not appeared. Jiang Yuanyuan was starting to feel anxious. Could it be her father really fired Luo Chao?

Could this man solve a problem that even her worried cousin couldn't handle? Specialization is key; how could he outdo her cousin's expertise?

"No way. This afternoon, I must ask father," Jiang Yuanyuan thought, looking like she had lost her soul, which made Chen Xiaoqi feel heartbroken.

"Damn Luo Chao, damn Luo Chao, before when we were getting rid of you, you refused to leave. Now when Yuanyuan needs you, you're gone. You're truly a super jerk."

Chen Xiaoqi said angrily. Those who knew the inside story were thrilled about Luo Chao's dismissal, especially Gao Shilong, who was all energetic in class.

It must be my father doing this. Just a countryside teenage boy, even if he has some background, what's impressive about that?

"Seriously, you all don't get it. How could someone so young be sent here by the higher-ups? It must be an assassin, just be cautious."

Jiang Han laughed, gesturing for his people to continue. Sales had been falling for months. Not only that, he'd been receiving threats from unknown parties.

"Damn, I don't buy it. This time with someone coming from the top, they definitely can resolve the issue." Jiang Han said with a smile. Actually, even without doing shady things, he couldn't defeat this person.

"I want to see Jiang Han, don't you hear me?" Luo Chao said angrily.

"Not just anyone can meet Mr. Jiang, and it's impossible for the top to send someone as young as you. If you keep it up, I'll call security."

Call security? Luo Chao was instantly anxious, again calling security? This was the second time he's come to Jiang Group and encountered such issues.

"Hey, Uncle Jiang, the people here won't let me up. How about you let her take a call?" Luo Chao said with a grin.

Watching Luo Chao with his phone, the woman sneered. Using such petty tricks, did he really think she hadn't heard the CEO's calls before?

"Hello, this is Jiang Dongwei. I sent this young man; just let him up." Jiang Dongwei said sternly.

Hearing the voice, the woman was suddenly stunned. This really was the CEO, but she never expected this young man truly was sent by the higher-ups.

"But I need to contact Mr. Jiang Han first to make a decision. Mr. Jiang Han is in a meeting, and if Mr. Luo Chao barges in, it might not be appropriate."

Hearing the voice of the Jiang Group's main leader, the woman was overjoyed.

"Dad, how could you do this? Luo Chao is my bodyguard. How can you send him on such a dangerous mission without my consent?"

Although it seemed like a business clash between two groups, Jiang Yuanyuan knew just how dangerous it was.
