The Magnificent Son-in-law

Chapter 100: Making a Living by Skill


"Since Miao Youmin took leave, who has been in and out of his home?" Xiao Feng, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

In a way, Miao Youmin's current situation is very dangerous. Those who had previously exploited his power might not hesitate to silence him.

After all, removing the turnip brings out the mud; once Miao Youmin falls, the social elites who were once associated with him will be in fear, worried about being implicated.

The officer in charge of monitoring Miao Youmin replied, "No one has been in or out, except for his wife who goes out to buy groceries every morning."

At this moment, Shi Jiaxin spoke, "I think this attack might very well have been orchestrated by Miao Youmin."

Everyone turned to her. Just moments ago, everyone deliberately avoided discussing Miao Youmin at the meeting, so it wasn't openly discussed. Now that Shi Jiaxin raised the issue, everyone wanted to know her reasoning.

"Remember I mentioned earlier that quite a few of Miao Youmin's relatives are in construction." Shi Jiaxin looked at Xiao Feng. "Actually, his wife's family owns a mining group, and explosives are often needed for mining, so if he wanted to get explosives, it would be effortless."

Song Keren's eyes lit up, "Immediately check the mining group's purchase records and verify the explosive inventory to see if they match."

Xiao Feng shook his head, "It's not a large amount, only twenty kilograms in total. Even if there's a shortfall, it could be explained as material waste."

"But at least it's a lead, right?" Song Keren countered with a frown, a bit annoyed at Xiao Feng's constant opposition.

As the discussion shifted away from Miao Youmin, everyone began articulating their doubts, increasingly convinced of Miao Youmin's suspiciousness, getting more excited as if they had found solid evidence.

At this moment, if Blood Nightmare were present, they would likely thank Shi Jiaxin for successfully diverting everyone's attention!

She had been worried about having no reason to negotiate with Shen Tianze, but now it's fine. The police would definitely focus more on Miao Youmin; as the difficulty of escape increases, the commission would also rise.

...

At this time, inside Shen Tianze's villa, the butler walked in cautiously, "Young Master, someone from Blood Nightmare is here."

"Is the task completed?" Shen Tianze stood up excitedly. Recently, bad news had been coming one after another without interruption, bringing him to the brink of collapse.

Needless to say, Shen Tianze had been really suffering these past few days. First, his clubs and bars came under heavy scrutiny, causing a sharp drop in customer flow, with several on the verge of closing.

As if that wasn't enough, now his hotel had been bombed, turning a ten million investment into nothing while still needing repairs, with no assurance of future occupancy rates.

So, Shen Tianze really wanted to hear some good news!

"I'm not sure if the task is completed, but I must remind the young master that our cash flow is running low. Another major expense might break the financial chain," the butler said, bowing his head.

"Alright, I know." Shen Tianze waved dismissively, signaling the butler could leave.

Of course, he knew how large the recent expenses were, but the problem was, without eliminating Xiao Feng, the group would face enormous losses every day. Even if not bankrupt, for a large group like theirs, not gaining is losing.

If it's only about balancing income and expenditure, then what's the point of running a business?

Not to mention the competitors eyeing eagerly; the Jiangcheng market is like a big cake, and everyone wishes there was one less to divide it among.

"Tap, tap, tap!"

The sound of high heels on the floor echoed as Blood Nightmare walked in with a gentle smile. The wavy hair draped over her shoulders danced with her steps, giving a rhythmic feeling.

Shen Tianze was instantly captivated, momentarily speechless by the charm of this woman, making it hard to imagine she is the leader of an assassin organization!

"I came this time to inform Mr. Shen of something," Blood Nightmare said, standing straight without intending to sit down, "Miao Youmin is now under close police surveillance, making escape much more difficult."

Shen Tianze snapped back to reality, hurriedly asking, "What about Xiao Feng? Has that bastard not been killed yet by you guys?"

Originally thinking Blood Nightmare's arrival would bring good news, he didn't expect more bad news, leaving Shen Tianze in unbearable frustration!

"If the target were so easy to kill, Mr. Shen wouldn't need to spend so much hiring us, would he?" Blood Nightmare blinked, revealing a captivating smile.

"Aren't you a top-notch assassin organization?" Shen Tianze couldn't help but ask, "Why does it take so long to kill a poor kid?"

"Mr. Shen, rest assured of our professionalism," Blood Nightmare's smile remained, "Our agreement is to eliminate the target within half a month, and it's not even a week yet. Besides, if we finish early, Mr. Shen won't pay us extra, right?"

Shen Tianze suppressed his anger, "So you're saying, even if you can kill Xiao Feng early, you won't do it unless I pay extra?"

Blood Nightmare didn't answer, but in this context, not answering was equivalent to an acknowledgment.

This attitude made Shen Tianze unable to control his rage: "Wasting the employer's time on purpose, is this Blood Nightmare's professionalism?"

"That's not how it is," Blood Nightmare replied calmly, "We will honor the spirit of the contract; what we promised the employer, we won't fall short of."

Shen Tianze felt an urge to flip the table in anger, but he knew that this was neither a subordinate to vent his anger on nor someone he could afford to provoke; she was the leader of an assassin organization.

"How much more do you want, just say it?" Shen Tianze gritted his teeth, determined to eliminate Xiao Feng by any means necessary, even if he had to sell everything.

"We can advance by at most five days, one day for two million. So ten million," Blood Nightmare stated flatly.

Unlike Shen Tianze, Blood Nightmare actually developed some admiration for Xiao Feng.

Before this, she had never met anyone who could confront an entire power group by personal means, but now it seemed Xiao Feng was precisely such a person.

Upon hearing Blood Nightmare's quote, Shen Tianze breathed a sigh of relief, for he could afford ten million, so he immediately agreed, "No problem."

"And one more thing, as I just mentioned, Miao Youmin is now under tight police watch, making the escape much harder. We might need to confront the police head-on to help Miao Youmin escape," Blood Nightmare smiled, "Mr. Shen should understand what I mean."

Shen Tianze gritted his teeth, "Name your price!"

Then, he slapped both hands on the table, eyes piercingly staring at the heave of Blood Nightmare's chest, "And you, name your price too."

Blood Nightmare frowned, "Sorry, I earn my living with my skills, not by selling myself."

In fact, rumors have it that the leader of Blood Nightmare rose to the top by trading her looks along the way.

But the truth was, whether Blood Nightmare or its leader, they were extremely proud individuals. Anyone with such a mindset towards them likely met a very dire end.

If not for the need to make money off Shen Tianze, Blood Nightmare might not have refrained from taking action against him.
