Byron's Blade

The door to the staff passage was unlocked, and Qiu Zheng walked in quietly.The passage was dark, and the stairs leading upstairs could be seen, which was the stairwell.

Qiu Zheng didn't turn on the light, that was the work of a layman.She just closed her eyes quietly, adapted to the darkness for a while, then picked up her gun equipped with a silencer, and slowly approached the door from the stairwell to the inner hall.

Unfortunately, this gate is restricted, and Qiu Zheng cannot get in.And He Yingning had already entered the gate with the man in the suit, she had to figure out where they went.

"Joan, have you seen where He Yingning is?" Qiu Zheng asked in a low voice.

Not long after, Joan's answer came from the intercom headset:

"Entered the staff elevator and went to the top floor."

They also go to the top floor?The ominous premonition in Qiu Zheng's heart became more and more intense, and while he hurriedly climbed the stairs, he said to Joan:

"Can you open the gate?"

"Yes, Mu Li and the others copied the ID card of the lobby manager just now, and I have a backup of the data sent back here. I will pair it up for you, but it will take about 2 minutes."

"Two minutes...Okay, help me open the access control on the fifteenth floor, and I'll be on the fifteenth floor in two minutes. By the way, help me transfer the elevator here."

"learn."

Qiu Zheng climbed four steps at a time, and quickly climbed up the stairs without taking a breath.She has excellent physical fitness, and it is more than enough to climb the fifteenth floor in 2 minutes, but she needs time to calm her breathing and heartbeat, and keep calm.Plus, she needs to give Joan time.The highest floor is located on the 2th floor, and Qiu Zheng will not waste these [-] minutes in vain.

A minute and a half later, she came to the fifteenth floor like lightning, and the strenuous exercise still made her short of breath.She was vigilant with the gun in hand, while adjusting her breathing to calm herself down.

After another 30 seconds, there was just a beep, and the door opened. Qiu Zheng pushed the door and walked in. The elevator room on the 15th floor was in sight.She pressed the up button of the elevator, and the elevator was adjusted to the 15th floor. She quickly got into the elevator and pressed the button for the highest floor.

"The timing is accurate, Joan." Chou Zheng smiled and praised the surveillance camera in the elevator.

"That's right, boss, don't even look at who I am." Joan's boastful voice came from the intercom headset.

The elevator quickly carried Qiu Zheng to the top floor. After the door opened, she carefully walked out of the elevator door with a gun in her hand.

"Joan, show me the way."

"No problem, boss, go straight ahead, don't worry."

Qiu Zheng complied, and according to Joan's command, she walked steadily in the corridor of the highest office area, and avoided the staff who might hit her head-on in advance, and came to the door of a room not long after.

"Boss, the man in the suit went in with He Yingning. There is no camera inside, so I can't see the situation." Qiong said.

"It's okay, leave it to me." Qiu Zheng glanced at the name of the office, which read "General Manager's Office".This is not the goal of Mu Li and Lan Ni - the chairman's office.Qiu Zheng had expected this point, because He Yingning went to the staff elevator in the west section of the building, while the chairman's office was in the east section on the highest floor.

As long as these two people don't affect today's mission, Qiu Zheng can be regarded as temporarily relieved.But now that we have reached this point, we might as well listen to what Miss He is going to do furtively. Miss Lanni still has a deal with her, so get the information now, so as not to suffer in time.

So she came to the empty conference room next to the general manager's office, opened the window and went out.This is the 100th floor, nearly [-] meters in height, the high-rise buildings are blown by strong winds, but Qiu Zheng walks horizontally along the narrow edge of the outer wall expressionlessly.Then he jumped directly to the outside unit of the air conditioner in the general manager's office, pulled off the louver fan above the outside unit, and got in.

As she expected, the general manager's office is actually a suite, which happens to be a bathroom.She came out of the bathroom, entered the bedroom, and pressed against the bedroom door.In such a position, the conversations in the office outside can already be heard clearly.She squatted down, turned on her phone habitually, and started recording.

"I really have no one else to turn to, Qiao Sen, you are the last person I can rely on." This was He Yingning's voice.

"I'm sorry, Miss He, the only thing I can guarantee is to try my best to track down this batch of goods and tell you the source and whereabouts. I really can't help you with other things." This is the voice of the young man in a suit. .

"Qiao Sen, please, this is the lives of a dozen children." He Yingning pleaded.

The young man named Qiao Sen was very embarrassed: "Miss He, I also work for others. My life is in He Chusheng's hands. I must be careful, otherwise my life will be in danger. Things that you can't even track down , I’m afraid I can’t help. He Chusheng is very careful. This kind of underground business has been going on for many years. , You asked me to report as an insider, I really have no way to do it, I'm honest, I'm afraid of retaliation."

After a moment of silence, He Yingning said:

"Well, please check it out as soon as possible and let me know if there is any news. I will transfer a sum of money to you, and you keep it first. No matter what the result is, I will send you the final payment of three times the amount. Thank you, Johnson."

"It's an old classmate. I don't want your money. I should help." Qiao Sen declined.

The conversation disappeared, and the room fell silent.Qiu Zheng didn't know whether the money was transferred or not. She waited for a while before He Yingning said again:

"Then, I'm going down to the venue first, so don't come with me, lest people be suspicious."

"Okay, Ms. He. But I will invite you to be my dance partner at the reception. Would you do me a favor?" Qiao Sen invited.

"Anything you want." After He Yingning finished answering, the sound of her high-heeled footsteps came, and she opened the door and walked out.

Qiu Zheng still didn't move, because Qiao Sen, the man in the suit, was still in the office, and she wouldn't leave until the last moment.After He Yingning left, Qiao Sen seemed to make a phone call with his bracelet ID, and Qiu Zheng heard him say on the phone:

"What did you do? The white lotus of the He family has already found us...I don't care what you do, anyway, I have temporarily stabilized her now. For the reception tonight, I will find a chance to quietly Kill her silently...I know she is the daughter of the He family, do you want me to remind me? She can't be provoked anymore, and now it's time to make a choice. How can the one who makes a big deal not have a little bit of ruthlessness. ...Stop talking nonsense, kill her tonight!"

Qiu Zheng sneered in his heart, it seemed that Miss He was going to be in trouble.There are so many beasts in clothes and clothes in this hotel, it really is not the same kind of people, don't enter a door.old classmate?What a joke, what school did Miss He study in, and there was such a scum?Child abduction, human traffickers, and hatred are the most disgusting things.

After Qiao Sen finished calling his subordinates, he called his boss, and his boss was naturally He Chusheng:

"Yes, boss, don't worry, there will be no problem. I will take care of it.....yes..."

After the call, Qiao Sen also left the office.While sending the recording just now to Joan, Qiu Zheng said:

"The plan has changed, and He Yingning got involved, which has a lot to do with our investigation. Inform Mu Li and the eldest lady, after installing the monitoring device, return to the venue immediately, and the priority has been changed to protecting He Yingning."

"Okay, boss." Joan replied.

Qiu Zheng opened the bedroom door and entered the empty office.She took out her black gloves and put them on, then began to rummage through some documents and information on the desk.But unfortunately, nothing came of it.She opened Qiao Sen's laptop again, only to encounter a password lock as expected.

"Joan, let's see if you can handle this." Qiu Zheng said while taking out the data cable and connecting her mobile phone and computer together. Her mobile phone was controlled by Joan remotely.

"Small, give me 30 seconds."

While Qiu Zheng was waiting for Joan to crack the computer password, suddenly the door of the office opened.Qiu Zheng's first reaction was to point his gun at the door, almost pulling the trigger, but it turned out that it was Miss He Yingning who appeared at the door. She went and returned, which made Qiu Zheng raise his eyebrows in surprise.

Miss He was obviously taken aback by Chou Zheng, she took a big step back in obvious horror, her face turned pale instantly.Her jaw trembled, her beautiful eyes were full of horror, and she was speechless for a long time.

"Come in and close the door." Chou Zheng put down his gun and ordered in a low voice.

He Yingning took a deep breath, forced herself to be calm, and followed Qiu Zheng's words.When she closed the door and turned around, her mood had stabilized a lot, and her complexion looked much better.This eldest lady is really extraordinary, she is definitely not the so-called useless vase or innocent white lotus in others' mouths.

"You...I know you. Your name is Qiu Zheng. We just met yesterday." Miss He spoke first.

"That's right, Miss He, as long as your memory is still normal." Qiu Zheng obviously didn't want to talk nonsense, and his eyes had already shifted from He Yingning to the computer.

"Why are you here?" He Yingning asked.

"And why are you here? Miss He?" Qiu Zheng asked without raising his head.

He Yingning pursed her lips, walked to Qiu Zheng's side, and glanced at the computer screen from afar.Then she hesitated and said:

"I guess we...should be looking into the same thing."

Qiu Zheng finally looked up at her, and said lightly:

"Come here, we are not enemies." Then he moved the computer in the direction of He Yingning.

The password lock has been unlocked by Joan. Joan is operating Qiao Sen's computer remotely. After a series of complicated code programs, the computer starts to run automatically, copying all the files and storing them for remote transmission to Joan's hard disk.The progress bar shows that the whole process takes 5 minutes.

"What a beautiful hacking method, are you a team?" He Yingning asked again.

"Miss He, your curiosity is very strong, this is not a good thing." Chou Zheng said.

"But it's definitely not a bad thing, otherwise, more people will be killed." He Yingning didn't care about Qiu Zheng's words. She looked at Qiu Zheng's profile and asked tentatively:

"Are you... Assassins?"

Qiu Zheng's eyes suddenly became sharp, and his azure eyes stared at He Yingning, as if ice slag was condensed inside.

"Where did you know Assassin?"

"Do you know Alita Smith?" He Yingning answered irrelevantly.

"You..." Qiu Zheng looked at He Yingning suspiciously, and then said, "Do you know Alita?"

"She stayed in the He family for a while, and used to be my mother's personal doctor. That was when I was very young, and she taught me a little self-defense. Six months ago, I worked in a family in Shengli City, the capital of the city of Athena. I saw her appear at the auction, she is not alone, there is a tall woman with black hair and blue eyes, with a large tattoo on the back, all the way to the neck, she looks very fierce." He Yingning looked at Qiu Zheng said in a low voice.Qiu Zheng frowned, looking at He Yingning's face, the forgotten memories slowly came to life.

He Yingning's tone was soft and elegant, as if he was talking about something about spring wind turning into rain:

"However, there was a fire accident at that auction, and everyone fled in a hurry. In order to protect me from being knocked down by others, the tall woman accidentally dropped something, which was a badge. I picked up this badge and have been looking it up. What does the badge represent, Assassin, at least in the City of Adventurers is very famous, it is not difficult to find out. To the outside world, you are a mercenary organization. However, I know that it is not just that, the fire at the auction was not Accident, but deliberation, you did it, didn't you? To steal the illegal lots and return them to their original owners."

Damn it, it turned out to be her!The memory was completely awakened, and Qiu Zheng remembered that there was indeed a mission where she lost her badge, and was later reprimanded by the teacher for cleaning the toilet for a long time.She was careless that time, and she didn't mean to protect anyone, but at that time she wanted to ring the fire alarm bell on the wall, and someone kept pushing a young girl, causing the girl's body to block the fire alarm button Bell, almost fell.She just gave the girl a hand, so that the girl could stabilize her body and leave with the crowd, so that she could continue to perform the task.

But she was careless, the badge that was originally in her pocket was squeezed out, she would never make such a mistake once a year, but that time she hit evil.Fortunately, the chip in the badge could not be traced back to Assassin's main system, and it was canceled in time.However, the girl still found out the existence of Assassin.

Assassin is very famous in the underground world of the city of adventurers, and it is not that sneaky and undetectable.But after all, it is an illegal gang armed organization, and its identity was exposed because of the drop of the badge, which reminds people of Assassin's motive for appearing at the auction. It cannot help but make people wonder what the purpose and purpose of Assassin's activities are. not good.

Qiu Zheng didn't respond directly to He Yingning's words, because at this moment, an accident suddenly happened.Joan's urgent reminder came from the earphone:

"Boss, you must leave the office immediately. Qiao Sen is back, and he will appear in the corridor in 30 seconds."

It took only 5 minutes to go in 3 minutes, and more than half of the data was copied, so I couldn't just give up.Qiu Zheng simply closed his notebook, opened his large windbreaker, and hid the computer in his clothes.Holding He Yingning with the other hand, she walked out of the office.

"What are you doing?" He Yingning couldn't hear Qiong's reminder, so he was very puzzled by Qiu Zheng's actions.

"Qiao Sen is back, we have to leave immediately." Qiu Zheng explained in an unprecedented manner.Then he stopped talking nonsense, dragged He Yingning to the corridor quickly, and strode towards the elevator room to the west.

He Yingning couldn't keep up with her pace, so she started trotting, her high heels knocking on the marble floor.Qiu Zheng hurriedly stopped, looked down at He Yingning's feet, and cursed in a low voice:

"burden!"

Then he immediately grabbed He Yingning's waist, lifted her up with one hand, and carried her forward.He Yingning was so startled that she almost cried out, bit her lips tightly, and then hugged Qiu Zheng's neck tightly, not daring to let go.Qiu Zheng took her and disappeared in the corridor within 30 seconds. When Qiao Sen turned around from the other end of the corridor, their figures had disappeared.

As soon as the two came to the elevator room, they saw an elevator going up. As a last resort, Qiu Zheng opened the door of the stairwell and led He Yingning down the stairwell.Just two floors down, they were extremely unlucky and ran into someone coming up the stairs again, it was a patrolling security guard.

In desperation, Qiu Zheng had already pulled out his gun and was about to kill the security guard.Because they shouldn't be on this floor, this is the 28th floor, who would climb the stairs to come here?He Yingning was quick to wit, and pressed Qiu Zheng's gun, signaling her not to do it.Then he pushed Qiu Zheng against the wall, raised his head, put his arms around her neck, and kissed her lips.

The lips were suddenly covered with warmth, and the aroma wafted into the nostrils. Qiu Zheng's eyes widened, the hairs all over his body suddenly rose, and the blood flowed backwards.Forcibly resisting the urge to push her away, he quickly closed his eyes, pretending to enjoy it.

As soon as the security guard turned a corner, he saw two women leaning against the corner of the stairs and kissing. Both of them were too beautiful.The big security guard opened his mouth in bewilderment, and finally chose to pass by silently.

As soon as the security guard disappeared, Qiu Zheng hurriedly pushed He Yingning away, and said coldly:

"You are the second person who dared to kiss me."

With red cheeks, He Yingning was rarely angry, and asked:

"Really, who was the first one?"

"A prostitute also kissed me when I was not prepared, and then I was almost chopped in half by me." Qiu Zheng replied.As she spoke, she walked downstairs.

He Yingning looked shocked and contemptuous, couldn't help wiping her mouth with her hand, and said angrily:

"What a vulgar man you are."

"Thank you." Chou Zheng didn't take it seriously, "You should be thankful that the vulgar person saved your life, reckless and stupid eldest lady."

"You..." A good-tempered person like He Yingning was also flushed with anger, but she was so well-bred that she couldn't swear, so in the end she could only stomp her feet fiercely and counterattack: "Everyone!"

Qiu Zheng, who was walking in front, laughed.
