Who this person was, although she hadn't provided an answer, or perhaps Qin Fang hadn't had the chance to learn the answer yet, Qin Fang vaguely felt that this person should be his target for this mission—the arms dealer Sinan.

Sinan started as an assassin before entering the arms trade, his level of danger absolutely surpassed that of the average assassin. Not only did he have wealth and power, but he also possessed influences that many assassins did not have.

When it came to arms dealing, such influence was absolutely terrifying, definitely not comparable to small gangs made up of hooligans or thugs. Killing or annihilating a family was a matter of a single command.

Combining other pieces of information, Qin Fang was basically able to confirm the accuracy of this message now…

And the conversation between this petite beauty and Sun Shu that followed also served as an indirect validation.

"Let's not talk about her. Did you bring the documents I asked you to get?"

The girl didn't dwell on the subject, seemingly very reluctant to discuss it, and asked Sun Shu directly.

"Brought them! They're all here..."

At this point, Sun Shu opened the briefcase he was carrying and took out a sealed document bag, which he handed over to the petite beauty.

"Thanks! This meal's on me… I'm off!"

As soon as the girl received what she needed, she immediately burned the bridge after crossing the river, taking the stuff and leaving right away, seemingly not wanting to stay there for another minute.

"Er…"

Not only was Qin Fang, an outsider, a bit speechless, but even Sun Shu paused for a moment. However, he didn't try to hold her back further, simply saying, "Xiao Xiao, come to my place when you have time, my parents also miss you…"

"We'll see!"

The girl casually dropped this remark and then, with the documents in hand, sashayed out of the Western restaurant in her high heels after settling the bill.

Watching this scene, Qin Fang no longer had the appetite to continue eating, nor did he want to meet with Sun Shu under these circumstances. In the end, he paid the bill and followed the female assassin out.

He followed close behind the female assassin, blending into the moving crowd. A beauty like her naturally attracted the attentions of many men. It was then that Qin Fang cast a Scouting Skill on her again, making him less noticeable to her.

The information fed back to him was much the same as before, but perhaps due to Sun Shu, Qin Fang now knew the name of this atypical beautiful assassin—Su Xiaoxiao.

Just from the name, one would expect a delicate, virtuous young lady from a wealthy family, skilled in feminine arts—if not music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, at least adept in needlework.

Yet Qin Fang didn't know whether she was proficient with a needle or a kitchen knife, but he could be certain she would be extremely skilled with a gun.

After leaving the restaurant, Su Xiaoxiao did not head back to her hotel. Instead, she carried her large and small bags and immediately entered a nearby mall, slipping into a changing room in a clothing store...

After about a few minutes, when Su Xiaoxiao emerged once more, she had completely transformed... If Qin Fang hadn't been watching her all along, he would definitely have found it hard to believe that the mature and charming office lady now before him was the same youthful, pretty, and stylish Su Xiaoxiao from before.

OMG, unbelievable~~

"This change is really too drastic!"

Despite his reluctance to believe, the scene before him was indeed happening in reality, and Qin Fang could not deny it even if he wished to.

Of course, he also understood why Su Xiaoxiao had been buying this and looking at that all morning; it was all in preparation for this very moment…

Qin Fang could use Metamorphosis to change into various faces, a unique skill of his own, so it was only natural that other Assassins would have their own methods of concealment. For instance, Su Xiaoxiao, who was now using such a disguise technique, effortlessly changed her aura and appearance…

Changing her outfit was tantamount to turning into a different person; even Qin Fang was nearly deceived by his own eyes. It was estimated that even if Su Xiaoxiao's cousin, Sun Shu, were to look, he would most likely not recognize her either.

After coming out of the changing room, although Su Xiaoxiao still carried all her large and small bags, the document bag that Sun Shu had given her was nowhere to be seen. Perhaps it was placed in one of the bags in her hand, or maybe it had simply been destroyed…

The few minutes spent changing might not reveal much content, but as long as some crucial clues were grasped, it was enough. Once the data lost its value, it naturally lost its reason for existence as well.

Just as Qin Fang had speculated, when Su Xiaoxiao passed through a narrow road and by a smoking, burning pile of trash, she decisively threw away one of the bags in her hands. The contents quickly transformed into a pile of ash…

Originally, Qin Fang had intended to see what the documents in that bag were, but now he no longer had the chance. Even if he rushed into the pile of trash to dig out that bag, it was unlikely much content would remain.

Moreover, he also guessed that the material was likely related to Sinan. All he needed to do was to keep an eye on the Su Xiaoxiao ahead, and knowing or not knowing any more didn't make much of a difference.

Su Xiaoxiao and Sun Shu were cousins and were clearly Yangcheng locals; it was evident that she was far more familiar with the terrain than Qin Fang… After tossing away the documents in her hand, her pace quickened, swiftly moving through the narrow alleys. Qin Fang had to tightly follow, yet worried about being detected by her, which was quite distressing for him.

Yangcheng could be considered an ancient city. Although its urban development had been rapid, it still retained many old streets with ancient charm. Walking on such old streets felt like going back to the Ming or Qing dynasty. Some areas even preserved the historical and cultural aura of estates that were said to belong to high-ranking officials and nobility from ancient times.

However, Qin Fang had no interest in admiring these. He was only worried about being shaken off by Su Xiaoxiao, which would mean all his efforts up to now had been in vain.

The vigilance of an Assassin could never be too weak, and Su Xiaoxiao was no exception. It seemed she had detected Qin Fang's presence because her footsteps became even faster. After passing through a rather long alley, she quickly turned into a side alley and disappeared from Qin Fang's line of sight.

Qin Fang was slightly startled, but even though he felt that he had been discovered, he still swiftly chased after her. He certainly didn't want to really lose sight of her.

This alley was quite desolate, flanked on both sides by tall ancient walls made of green bricks. Without guessing, Qin Fang knew that beyond the walls was most likely a historical mansion that had been converted into a tourist attraction.

Yet, this was not his concern, as the moment he had entered the alley, he was immediately "controlled" by someone… despite intentionally allowing it to happen.

"Who are you? Why are you following me?"

The person who had controlled him was, of course, Su Xiaoxiao. Only now her expression was extremely cold, resembling an ice-cold, ruthless Queen, a beautiful enchantress yet a fierce Rakshasa filled with murderous intent…

"I... I... I just thought you were beautiful and I wanted to..."

Being "controlled," Qin Fang seemed to go weak at the knees in an instant, appearing quite frightened. He spoke tremblingly, and since he currently had a rather sleazy appearance, his words seemed more credible.

Qin Fang was not surprised at all to be discovered by Su Xiaoxiao. If she had not detected him after all this time, her vigilance as an Assassin would seem too weak…

Despite the numerous times Qin Fang had changed his appearance, he was unable to alter his clothing, which, even if it was more generic, could not conceal his suspicious movements.

"Hmph… filthy hooligan!"

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao was slightly taken aback. She fixed her gaze on Qin Fang's eyes, which were filled with fear, and immediately scolded him, followed by a karate chop to the back of Qin Fang's neck, knocking him "unconscious" and leaving him in the corner of the alley…(To be continued.
