After taking in some power of stars, Mr. Yan"s face becomes better.“Your strength can heal wounds?” Mr. Yan sits up straightly and then lights up another cigarette. He looks at Gao Ge with narrowed eyes. A look of surprise crosses his face, as if he finds treasure!
Gao Ge laughs and says, “This is kind of my special thing. I used to get injured when executing tasks before, but I always recovered quite fast. Afterwards, my strength can also help heal others" wound.”
“Great. Haha! What is your name?”
“Does it matter?” Gao Ge asks.
Mr. Yan pats his head, “Yeah, this is the regulation of the Killer School. You cannot tell others your real name, right?”
Gao Ge only nods his head without responding to that. He doesn"t care what Mr. Yan is thinking about…
“In addition, is it also regulated by the Killer School that you mustn"t go back if you fail the task?” Mr. Yan asks further.
Gao Ge nods his head again.
This time, Gao Ge is sure of the answer. As far as he knows, the Killer School does have such a regulation to prevent their students who fail the task from bringing trouble back to the school. After all, it is historically recorded that the Killer School used to fall into turmoil and declined gradually after being divided into two just because of that.
A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit. The Killer School will not easily let go of this issue after suffering the loss.
“It"s okay. We are leaving here at dawn. You come with me!” Mr. Yan says grinningly.
Gao Ge asks, “Where are we going?”
“You will know it afterwards. Now you don"t need to know too much but you shall not worry. We have share weal and woe this time and you have saved my life, so I will not do anything harmful to you.” Mr. Yan says, “My name is Yan Chao, the cousin of Yan Xiaomei. I think you must have guessed it.”
“Why do you want to kill Yan Xiaomei?” Gao Ge sits down and asks.
Yan Chao pa.s.ses a cigarette to Gao Ge. This time, Gao Ge takes it over and lights it up.
Yan Chao sighs, “Actually, the reason is quite simple. You may regard it as a dispute in a rich family. Yan Xiaomei is not capable at all and she never cares about the family matters but my grandpa likes her. Now he is in dire danger from illness and wants to let her take over the Yan Family.”
“Then just let her take it over. Why did you make the reckless move? Now you are exposed. Even if she really dies, you will end up in ruin together.” Gao Ge says in confusion.
Yan Chao laughs and shakes his head. He seems to feel that Gao Ge is too innocent, saying, “There is nothing wrong with your thought but you are too innocent. Even though I failed, my father and his men are still out there. If Yan Xiaomei becomes the master of my family, those who have been against her will be kicked out of the Yan Family. Likewise, if we take over the Yan Family, Yan Xiaomei and her supporters will be kicked away by us too.”
Gao Ge shakes his head. Although he learns Yan Chao"s motive of killing Yan Xiaomei, he feels a bit bored after hearing him out.
Mr. Yan stands up and goes to the bedroom for a rest while Gao Ge lies on the sofa to refresh his spirit by closing his eyes.
The house has been empty for some time but it still remains clean. It must be because Yan Chao has arranged people to clean up this place once in a while.
Now he is wondering where Yan Chao is taking him to.
Maybe it is the destination of the task?
It is possible.
Otherwise, the Dragon Court won"t spend so many efforts letting him reach Yan Chao and gain his trust.
However, Gao Ge doesn"t feel that he has gained Yan Chao"s trust. Even if he were in Yan Chao"s shoes, he wouldn"t trust himself, let alone Yan Chao, the man who is quite scheming.
With the task failed, Yan Chao doesn"t blame him but also changes his att.i.tude towards Gao Ge.
It is most likely that Yan Chao finds that Gao Ge"s power of stars has a healing effect.
It may be the reason why the Dragon Court insists on his saving Yan Chao.
In the early morning, a middle-aged woman comes to the house and brings breakfast. According to Yan Chao, she is the one who helps clean the house.
Nevertheless, over the breakfast, Gao Ge sees the murderous intent from Yan Chao"s eyes.
He frowns with an impa.s.sive expression. Having talked with the middle-aged woman, he learns that she lives in the village and is paid by Yan Chao to clean the house every day so as to keep the house from getting dusty.
When the middle-aged woman is about to leave, Gao Ge suddenly grabs Yan Chao who has taken out a dagger. Then he just watches her leaving smilingly.
“What did you do?” Yan Chao flies into a rage, shouting, “Do you know that we may get into trouble if she doesn"t die?”
“Hmm.” Gao Ge shows disdain for Yan Chao, “If you do nothing, the woman will go back home and live her life as usual but if you kill her, the cops will come here. In that case, they will be able to track us down."
After hearing what Gao Ge said, Yan Chao stops being angry. He thinks it over and consents on Gao Ge"s words so he has to give in.
“You pay her but you seldom come here. The woman never loafs on the job and still comes over to finish her work. Moreover, she is innocent. If you kill her, won"t you feel guilty?” Gao Ge says in a cold voice.
Yan Chao stares at him in a complex look, “As a student of the Killer School, you are talking about guilt with me?”
“The Killer School"s students are not ill-intent. We just get paid to kill.” Gao Ge says.
Yan Chao shakes his head and doesn"t continue to talk about that with Gao Ge, “Get ready and we are leaving right now.”
Gao Ge says okay to him and then asks, “Where are we heading to?”
Yan Chao looks at him, saying with a smile, “Dongzhou.”
Gao Ge is astounded.
Dongzhou?
The final destination is Dongzhou?
They hit the road. On the half way, Yan Chao switches the car in his own way to cover up.
Dongzhou is about several hundred kilometers away from Jiangnan City but it is only four-hour drive from Guang City.
They don"t encounter any trouble on the way but Yan Chao keeps frowning all the time.
The quieter it is, the more upset he feels.
In light of his understanding on the Yan Family, he feels that this trip is too smooth.
