The new "tail" was indeed much more formidable than those who had been following him recently. After weaving through several turns, Chu Ge successfully shook off the previous pursuers, but this new "tail" still kept a steady distance, shadowing him closely.

"Heh, quite capable, as expected. You didn't disappoint me, nor did I waste the opportunity I created for you."

Chu Ge bought a pair of gloves, left the mall, hailed a taxi, and started to wander around the city. The remaining "tail" continued to follow him closely.

Of course, this was intentional on Chu Ge's part. If he really wanted to shake off this tail, it wouldn't be difficult. He just needed to meet this person.

After changing taxis twice, he gave Qin Ruojing a call on the road, finding an excuse to tell her he wouldn't be coming over tonight. Chu Ge finally got off near an extremely remote construction site.

Following that, Chu Ge moved like a ghost in the night, silently avoiding the few laborers and heading deep into the construction site. He put on gloves that left no fingerprints and entered an unfinished building.

In the darkness, Chu Ge strolled leisurely, walking up to the third floor along the staircase, randomly picking a room, and stopping.

The place was quiet enough, unlikely to be disturbed. It was time to meet the tail behind him, even if the opponent had high-level skills and moved silently. He of course knew that this person was very close to him.

"Come out. You've followed me for so long. Shall we have a chat face to face?"

The surroundings were quiet; it seemed like Chu Ge was talking to himself. In the eerie building, only his echo resounded.

Chu Ge sneered faintly, shook his head slightly, and tossed a piece of stone he picked up along the way in his hand. Suddenly, without looking, he threw it back.

"Whoosh!"

Two slight whistling sounds almost sounded simultaneously. The stone from Chu Ge's hand collided in mid-air with a shimmering crossbow arrow. With a sharp sound, the crossbow arrow easily shattered the stone and continued to fly swiftly toward Chu Ge.

Chu Ge didn't move, seemingly unable to react in time. The arrow flew past his ear and embedded in the wall, with its shaft humming and vibrating.

"Heh, is this your introduction? It seems a bit impolite to greet someone with this thing."

Chu Ge coldly laughed, finally turning around slowly. He, of course, wasn't too late to react just now; he knew the stone was enough to alter the trajectory of the crossbow arrow, so he didn't need to dodge.

Three meters in front of him, where there had just been nothing, now stood a tall silhouette.

It was a woman, wearing a tight black top and jeans, a very ordinary outfit that could be seen anywhere on the street.

She wore a mask on her face, with only a pair of narrow eyes exposed. Meeting Chu Ge's gaze, her eyes were filled with indifference and confidence. Her right hand held a small crossbow level, while her left hand steadily placed another crossbow arrow on it.

"It seems you're a very lucky person, but you won't be so lucky next time."

Chu Ge rolled his eyes. Lucky? It's clearly skill! Switch places, and see if you can do the same?

Of course, Chu Ge didn't bother to explain. He smirked his signature smile, completely ignoring the lethal small crossbow, and sized up the female assassin's stylish figure.

"Miss, may I ask, you've followed me for so long and now point this thing at me—do we have a grudge?"

The female assassin was, of course, Black Arrow, hired by Long Tao. She frowned, unable to comprehend the man's reaction.

This man was just too calm, even too casual. Didn't he know he was facing a life-threatening situation? Did he really think Lady Luck would favor him again?

Her crossbow arrows never missed at a hundred meters, let alone when they were so close now?

Chu Ge's nonchalance made Black Arrow feel greatly insulted. She narrowed her eyes slightly, steadily setting the crossbow arrow on the small crossbow, aiming at Chu Ge's heart.

"Don't you think you talk too much?"

Chu Ge curled his lips, shook his head, "Talk too much? No, no, no, this is certainly not too much. Your answer is very important to me."

The tone paused slightly, and Chu Ge lifted his chin, "For you... it's even more important actually. I want to know if the problem between us can only be resolved by force."

"Fine, then I'll tell you, force can't solve everything, but it can solve you. Money can't buy everything, but it can buy me. I'm just taking someone's money to relieve their disaster."

Chu Ge nodded, relieved, "That's good then."

"Alright?" Black Arrow furrowed her brows again. She found it truly difficult to understand the mindset of this man before her.

However, it didn't matter to her. With a cold smile, she launched the second crossbow arrow.

"Now, go in peace!"

As she spoke, the second crossbow arrow suddenly flew towards Chu Ge. In Black Arrow's eyes, Chu Ge was already a dead man. Telling him these things before his death was the least she could do.

The crossbow arrow tore through the air, emitting a sharp sound as it headed straight for Chu Ge's heart.

Immediately, an unbelievable scene appeared before Black Arrow's eyes.

At the same moment she launched the crossbow arrow, the man who was assuredly about to die suddenly sidestepped with an astonishing speed, making her supposedly certain attack miss its mark!

Astonished, Black Arrow felt a surge of excitement in her heart. This man... was a true expert!

The so-called "experts" she had previously killed, who were praised to no end, couldn't compare to this man at all. They were just empty titles.

After eliminating those targets, she didn't feel any joy at all. There was no challenge, it was utterly boring.

Black Arrow was a proud woman. She hadn't been an assassin for long and had only taken on a few missions, but she felt that given her skills, she should be a rising star in the world of assassins. Yet, she had virtually no reputation and could only get assignments worth a mere million.

This amount of money might be substantial for ordinary people, but to Black Arrow, it was not worthy of the skills she learned from her mentor.

So, when she sensed that Long Tao doubted her abilities, she proactively proposed to prove her strength. Although she felt disdainful of that moment, thinking her actions then were quite undignified.

Yet, for the sake of more business and greater fame, Black Arrow gritted her teeth and endured. Even if she looked down on Long Tao, her employer, she still showed a small portion of her abilities.

Of course, Black Arrow had her pride. What she displayed to Long Tao was only worth the million-dollar price.

When she saw the immense satisfaction in Long Tao's expression, she felt immense disdain and disgust. She thought Long Tao was a provincial ignoramus.

At this moment, the narrow eyes of Black Arrow finally showed a touch of fervor and seriousness. Seeing the second crossbow arrow miss, she promptly retreated, instantly widening the distance with Chu Ge, moving out of the room, and disappearing into the dark buildings.

Chu Ge initially intended to chase after Black Arrow immediately, but when he noticed the change in those narrow eyes, he instead didn't rush.

Because he realized that this fervent-eyed female assassin wasn't trying to escape, but rather lying in wait, brewing for the next attack, intensely fixated on the outcome of this duel.

Since this female assassin wasn't in a hurry to flee, then Chu Ge was even less hurried. It had been a long time since he had a proper activity, and he hoped this female assassin could entertain him a bit.

With ears pricked, carefully capturing any movement around, Chu Ge retrieved his phone from the bag and turned off both phones. Even though he was skilled and courageous, he didn't want any unnecessary interruptions that could distract him.

Underestimating the enemy strategically while valuing them tactically, the words of a great Chinese leader were an absolute truth worthwhile at any time.

A thick cloud slowly drifted by, covering the moon, making the empty buildings even darker.

As the last trace of light disappeared from Chu Ge's side profile, a teasing curve appeared at the corner of his lips. This female assassin seemed quite patient, didn't she? He licked his lips and stepped forward once more.

Black Arrow was indeed exceptionally patient now. She was a hunter whose ultimate aim was to kill her prey, but she also enjoyed the process, watching her prey gradually lose composure under immense pressure until finally breaking down completely. It was an amusing game.

Destroying a person's spirit was far more thrilling to Black Arrow than destroying a person's body, especially when the opponent was relatively strong.

Tap, tap, tap...

Chu Ge's footsteps echoed in the empty buildings, neither fast nor slow, no different from usual, with each step revealing his whereabouts.

"Hmph, so confident, are we? Do you really think that dodging my crossbow arrow is impressive?"

In a dark room, Black Arrow pressed herself against the wall beside the door, looking at Chu Ge's defenseless back arrogantly walking down the corridor, with a contemptuous smile on her lips. Her right hand, holding a small crossbow, once again aimed at Chu Ge's back heart.

"You're too naive. Do you really think all I can do is shoot arrows from the dark? If you're truly strong enough, I'll bestow an honor upon you and show you what a real Heaven and Earth Net is."

Black Arrow sneered inwardly, but her narrow eyes were brimming with increasingly fervent light.
