Chapter 965 Even the domineering CEO is afraid of his wife?
"Absolutely impossible. This is the most basic principle for us assassins. Even if the Emperor himself forced me, it would be absolutely impossible!"
Of course, I believe that Lord Killer wouldn't want me to reveal the name of my backer!
Shangguan Fei said decisively, while bringing up the Wu Family Army.
"You really won't tell me?"
Ji Xiuhan was slightly taken aback.
"Don't even think about it. Do with me as you please!"
Shangguan Fei stiffened his neck, his tone resolute.
This……
Ji Xiuhan was stunned and couldn't help but look at the Wu family army.
To everyone's surprise, Wu Jiajun simply shook his head. The meaning couldn't be clearer: don't look at me. If you're so capable, find a way to force him to talk yourself. Don't expect me to help you; it's a matter of professional ethics.
Ji Xiuhan could only manage a wry smile.
However, he also admired Shangguan Fei's intelligence. Fearing that the Wu family army would use force to extract a confession, he deliberately used words to control the Wu family army, making it difficult for him to intervene.
"Somebody come!"
Ji Xiuhan suddenly shouted in a deep voice towards the door.
The bodyguards outside the door were already on high alert and moved at the sound.
As a CEO, he naturally couldn't personally use those cruel methods to extract confessions; he could leave that to his bodyguards.
Soon, more than a dozen bodyguards rushed in, their eyes all falling on Shangguan Fei.
At this moment, Shangguan Fei looked at the Wu family army, only to see them staring blankly out the window. He instantly realized that he was doomed to die today.
He suddenly grinned, his laughter filled with desolation: "Don't bother!"
Before he could finish speaking, black blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, his head lolled to the side, and he fell silent.
Ji Xiuhan was startled and quickly ordered two bodyguards to come forward and check on him.
The bodyguard reached out and checked Shangguan Fei's breath; he was already not breathing.
Without a doubt, this guy had a deadly poison hidden in his mouth, and to avoid being humiliated, he chose to commit suicide.
At that moment, Ji Xiuhan felt a sense of admiration for him.
Although this man is an assassin, he is a man of steel!
Even the Wu family soldiers, who had initially looked down on Shangguan Fei, couldn't help but nod at the corpse and sigh.
"What should we do now?"
The bodyguards exchanged glances and looked at Ji Xiuhan.
"Get rid of it."
Ji Xiuhan waved his hand.
Several bodyguards rushed forward, dragged Shangguan Fei's body into a sack, and prepared to quietly transport it away.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, followed by a woman's voice: "Honey, what's wrong? I heard some noise coming from your room?"
It turned out to be Lu Wanqing, who lived next door, who had been awakened by the commotion.
At first, when Lu Wanqing heard the sound, she listened carefully.
Unfortunately, the room was too soundproof, and she couldn't hear the voices inside at all, only the faint sound of the bodyguards' footsteps coming in and out.
This immediately put her on alert.
Not long after, she heard other noises coming from the room, so she pressed her ear against the wall to listen carefully.
She simply couldn't understand what kind of noise two men could make in a room in the dead of night.
After listening for a while, he suddenly blushed, as if he had thought of some unsavory scene, and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of filth: "Two shameless bastards!"
The gratitude and affection she had felt for Ji Xiuhan vanished instantly.
Without a doubt, the middle-aged man who came today is one of Ji Xiuhan's lovers. They must be doing something shameful in the middle of the night, otherwise, why would they have made such a commotion?
You know, it's three or four in the morning. Even if there was some urgent business, it should have been finished long ago. This is a time for sleeping.
Only that kind of relationship could lead to such tireless activity, going at it late into the night.
The more Lu Wanqing thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She simply covered her head, forcing herself to stop listening and continue sleeping.
But before long, there was noise coming from the room again, and the sound of a window being opened could even be faintly heard.
Little did she know that this time she heard Shangguan Fei breaking through the window, while before she had heard Old Niu barging in.
Now, her mind was filled with all sorts of wild thoughts. What were those two scoundrels doing in the room? They even used the window!
She grew increasingly contemptuous of the two of them.
But not long after, something unexpected happened to her. It seemed like she heard footsteps passing by her door, and then the door next door seemed to open.
Lu Wanqing's heart tightened, and she was wide awake.
Why would anyone enter that room in the middle of the night? And judging from the footsteps, it seems like there was more than one person.
Although the bodyguards walked on tiptoe, they still managed to detect the sound.
Her mind tensed instantly, and she pressed her ear against the door again, listening carefully to any sounds.
Sure enough, another rustling sound came, along with faint voices, but the content was still unclear.
But she was certain that there were more than just Ji Xiuhan and that middle-aged man in the room; there were definitely other people there.
For a moment, Lu Wanqing's heart jumped into her throat, and a terrible thought surged into her mind: Could it be that Ji Xiuhan, that scoundrel, not only seduced that middle-aged man, but that middle-aged man also brought other people with him?
More importantly, they are tourists and all from out of town. If the person they brought were a local or someone with ill intentions, wouldn't Ji Xiuhan be in danger?
The more Lu Wanqing thought about it, the more uneasy she became. Unable to lie still any longer, she quietly got up, walked to the door next door, gently knocked, and called out.
Her shout, though not loud, stunned everyone in the room, and they all turned to look at Ji Xiuhan.
Because all of this was kept from Lu Wanqing. Once she enters, she will inevitably discover the truth.
Even though the body had been stuffed into a sack, it couldn't escape her notice.
Moreover, it would be suspicious for anyone to see so many people suddenly entering the room in the middle of the night.
"This……"
Ji Xiuhan was also sweating profusely, unsure of what to do.
He knew in his heart that he absolutely could not let Lu Wanqing in, especially not let her discover the body.
Besides, the room's windows had already been smashed beyond recognition by Lao Niu and Shangguan Fei. Even if Lu Wanqing had a hundred mouths, she couldn't explain it to him after seeing this.
At that moment, Ji Xiuhan steeled himself and strode quickly toward the door.
The moment the bodyguard opened the door, he flashed out and appeared outside, then slammed the door shut from the outside.
His series of actions were just like those of a spy in a spy movie.
Seeing Ji Xiuhan's nervous appearance, everyone in the room couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle.
The Wu family army, in particular, were so nervous that their shoulders were shaking, and they almost burst out laughing.
He never imagined that this domineering CEO, who was always as cold and aloof as an iceberg, would actually be so afraid of his wife.
"Honey, why aren't you asleep in the middle of the night? It's so cold, what if you catch a cold?"
Ji Xiuhan's voice came from outside the door, so gentle it was almost sweet.
The people in the room felt even more stifled listening to this.
"Did someone else come into your room? Is someone trying to harm you or force you to do something?"
Lu Wanqing's voice was full of tension and worry.
"Oh? So you heard everything?"
Ji Xiuhan feigned surprise.
"Of course I heard them! Who are they?"
“They are acquaintances of my friend, not people who came to see me. You know, I don’t know anyone here.”
"Who exactly is your friend? How does he know so many people here?"
Lu Wanqing's tone was full of deep suspicion.
