Gu Chenan's sudden question left Hoshino Kannon somewhat stunned.
She blinked and asked back: "Can't I come to Suzhou if I have nothing else to do?"
"Did you come to Suzhou just to go on a date with me and then tell me about Lin Yu's next plan?" Gu Chenan was a little suspicious.
Hoshino Kannon took a bite of her cotton candy and said, "Let's not talk about these things. Feel free to ask me anything you want after our date."
"Okay," Gu Chenan nodded and then asked, "So what's next? We've done everything we wanted to do, where should we go now?"
Hoshino Kannon rubbed her belly, "I'm so hungry, let's go eat."
"What do you want to eat?"
"Anything is fine."
As they talked, the two walked towards the amusement park exit.
Gu Chenan was impeccably dressed in a suit while Hoshino Kannon was dressed in Lolita fashion. The two looked quite well-matched walking together.
Chatting all the way, they gradually walked out of the amusement park.
Next, the two had a big meal together and then watched a movie.
Everything seemed intimate, like a couple. Although they didn't talk about everything, outsiders would still see them as inseparable.
Especially during the movie when Hoshino Kannon was holding a big bucket of popcorn with 3D glasses on while Gu Chenan next to her was feeding her a Coke.
When the movie ended, the night grew darker.
As they walked out of the cinema, the sky had completely darkened.
The two came to the car and Hoshino Kannon was still chattering about the male and female protagonists in the movie.
Just then, Gu Chenan turned around and said, "Alright, I've done everything you said today, isn't it time you tell me what I want to know?"
Gu Chenan's sudden change in attitude stunned Hoshino Kannon.
She swallowed her saliva, pursed her lips and looked at the ground.
A light breeze blew at just the right time, blowing Gu Chenan's hair and Hoshino Kannon's skirt, and bringing up some withered yellow leaves.
"What do you want to know?"
After a long while, Hoshino Kannon raised her head and brushed her hair that had been blown a little messy by the wind.
"Lin Yu's plan, and... your purpose in coming to Suzhou," Gu Chenan said.
"My purpose..."
Hoshino Kannon hesitated for a moment, "Lin Yu asked me to come kill Xiao Jian, but..."
Before she could finish her words, Gu Chenan immediately put out his finger and said, "I warn you, I will never let you or the Black Owl Organization kill Xiao Jian. Lin Yu can't do it, nor can you!"
There was a tremor in Hoshino Kannon's eyes, she had a lump in her throat.
But in the next moment, she suddenly covered her mouth and laughed loudly.
"Hahahaha, young master Gu, you are really confident! Have you forgotten that I am one of the Twelve Owls? Do you really think that just you can stop me?"
Gu Chenan snorted coldly, "If you don't believe me, we can try."
"Still so confident," Hoshino Kannon walked up and pointed her finger at Gu Chenan's chest, "But what if I tell you I never intended to kill Xiao Jian at all?"
"You..."
Gu Chenan was stunned and frowned, "Then what is your purpose in coming to Suzhou? Just to go on a date with me?"
"Hahahaha!" Hoshino Kannon burst out laughing again, "Young master Gu, don't think too highly of yourself. I came to Suzhou on the organization's orders, irrelevant to anyone."
Gu Chenan lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment.
"Okay, I'll trust you for now."
After saying that, he asked again, "Then what is Lin Yu's next plan?"
The corners of Hoshino Kannon's mouth turned up slightly and she looked at Gu Chenan playfully, "Go ask Lin Yu about Lin Yu's plans! How would I know?"
"You!"
Gu Chenan gritted his teeth, "Didn't you say that as long as I accompanied you on your date today, you would tell me all this? Are you lying to me?"
"Hahahaha," Hoshino Kannon clutched her stomach and laughed loudly again, "I was just kidding, who could have thought that you would actually believe me?"
"You liar!"
Gu Chenan was thoroughly furious. He felt that he had just been led by the nose like a monkey.
So he strode angrily onto the car and slammed the door shut.
Knock knock knock!
Then Hoshino Kannon knocked on Gu Chenan's car door.
"Young master Gu, aren't you going to give me a ride back?"
Gu Chenan rolled down his window and glared at Hoshino Kannon, "I don't have time for that, take a taxi yourself."
"Then... can we still go on dates?" Hoshino Kannon raised her eyebrows and asked.
"In your dreams!"
Gu Chenan left her with that as he stomped on the gas pedal and drove the car away.
Hoshino Kannon stood at her original spot, watching the direction Gu Chenan drove off for a long, long time. For some reason, her eyes grew moist.
...
In a villa halfway up the hill.
Old Dao walked into Lin Yu's room again.
"Mr. Lin, it's this late already and Miss Hoshino still isn't answering her phone. It seems she really doesn't intend to help us."
Even the previously confident Lin Yu felt doubtful now.
It was late into the night already and Hoshino Kannon neither answered her phone nor replied to her messages.
If she really didn't intend to help them kill Xiao Jian!
Without killing Xiao Jian, the headquarters would surely condemn him!
But with just himself, Old Dao and Fang Jie left in Suzhou branch, it was simply impossible to kill Xiao Jian with his tight security.
Lin Yu sighed, "If there's really no other way, contact the headquarters and give them the truth. Get the headquarters to send someone over."
"Yes," Old Dao nodded and quickly walked out of the room with his phone.
About ten minutes later, Old Dao returned with a stifled look on his face.
"How is it? What did the headquarters say?" Lin Yu asked hurriedly.
Old Dao shook his head, "What else could they say, just scolded me badly."
Then he added, "But headquarters already knows the situation in Suzhou and has sent someone over."
"Who did they send?" Lin Yu asked.
"Gong Fei, one of the Twelve Owls," Old Dao said.
Hearing this, Lin Yu's pupils abruptly stared.
"Gong Fei? The one who single-handedly assassinated the head of the ancient martial arts Yanjing family?"
Old Dao nodded, "That's right. Mr. Gong is on par with Miss Hoshino, with him taking action he will surely be able to kill Xiao Jian."
Lin Yu nodded in relief and closed his eyes.
But soon he opened them again, "Keep trying to contact Hoshino Kannon to find out exactly what happened to her."
"Understood."
Old Dao nodded and walked out of the room again.
Lin Yu's brows were tightly furrowed, with an uneasy expression.
Logically, Hoshino Kannon would not disobey him, so what on earth happened today?
Could she have really met with some accident?
If she did get into trouble, it would be utterly meaningless for Gu Chenan to have done it!
In Suzhou, no one could have discovered Hoshino Kannon's true identity, nor defeat her.
After all, Hoshino Kannon's expertise was precisely in covert operations and assassinations!
But only this Gu Chenan's skills were strange and unpredictable, perhaps he might have discovered Hoshino Kannon's identity too!
Thinking of this, Lin Yu was immediately incensed.
Gu Chenan! Hoshino Kannon is my right hand man. If you have really injured her, it won’t just be me, even the entire Black Owl Organization will come after you!
By then, you will have no chance of survival!
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints.

So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
