My Pretty Campus Queen-Chapter 813 - 811: Target Shift

"So that’s how it is, Chen Tianlong is always cautious, even knows this much, leaving the Assassin Group is a big loss for us." Ming Dao deliberately changed the subject.

"Haha, old grievances, better left unsaid."

With that, Chen Tianlong briskly walked out of the room; with the eldest brother guarding here, there shouldn’t be any problems for now. He quickly headed to the hall, but as soon as he stepped out, he saw Lin Xiaoting hiding near the door.

A fight had just broken out inside, and she glanced over instead of making any rash moves. After all, she’s no expert; her strength is only four stars, and even Chen Tianlong couldn’t defeat her. Seeing that their standoff inside remained unresolved for so long, as a senior member of the Black Alliance, she found herself in a dilemma, resorting to standing outside helping to disperse others.

Otherwise, if members of the Black Alliance found out, gathering around, Chen Tianlong would be doomed.

"Whew!"

Seeing Chen Tianlong come out safely, Lin Xiaoting roughly understood the situation inside, guessing that Mr. Songmu had been killed. At this moment, she was conflicted, as earlier someone had come over, saying they heard noise, while Lin Xiaoting had lied, claiming that Songmu was sparring with a friend, not to be disturbed.

If Songmu is indeed dead now, will those people report me?

"Chen Tianlong, Songmu he..."

"He’s gone, are you going to report me?" Chen Tianlong said indifferently.

"Do you... know who Songmu is? He..."

"Stop, he’s a big guy in your Black Alliance, right? I’m not interested in that. I only know I completed my mission. Just a little reminder, I’m an assassin, best stay away from me!" With that, Chen Tianlong prepared to leave.

But suddenly, he recalled his thoughts and stopped, coldly asking Lin Xiaoting beside him, "Is that document with you?"

"Huh? What document, what are you talking about?" Lin Xiaoting was dumbfounded by Chen Tianlong’s sudden question.

"Haha, don’t pretend, the document from Mr. Songmu’s body, don’t tell me you don’t know." Seeing Lin Xiaoting’s expression, Chen Tianlong was somewhat disappointed, feeling this person was quite the actor.

"Chen Tianlong, what did you say, try saying it again?" Lin Xiaoting was truly a bit angered, after helping him so much, yet being misunderstood.

"Isn’t it? Best bring out the document, otherwise I won’t be polite later." Chen Tianlong spoke extremely coldly, clearly reverting to his Assassin Group demeanor, with a menacing aura.

It’s not really Chen Tianlong’s fault; his other task was to retrieve the list, and according to Fang Yan, this list is very important, concerning Huaxia’s fate, sounding quite serious.

Since Chen Tianlong accepted this task, he had to complete it.

"Alright, the document is with me, but I don’t want to give it to you, so what? Are you going to kill me?" Lin Xiaoting, being someone who clearly differentiates between love and hate, liked Chen Tianlong but wouldn’t tolerate how he utilized her kindness.

How does that song lyric go, don’t use my love to hurt me!

At this moment, Lin Xiaoting’s mood mirrored that lyric, she fell in love with Chen Tianlong at first sight, but he repeatedly hurt her.

"Haha, do you think I don’t dare to kill you?" Chen Tianlong coldly chuckled, pulling a blade from beneath his shoe, its gleam chilly, a perfect weapon for a throat-cutting strike.

"Then kill me, after all, you won’t believe anything I say." Lin Xiaoting pouted, showing a defiant expression.

Chen Tianlong took a deep breath, for some reason, he couldn’t bring himself to harm this girl opposite him. One reason was her beauty, the other was a mysterious force stopping him. After all, the blade was at her neck, but remained fixed.

"Just kill me, abandoned by my country, I don’t deserve to live." Lin Xiaoting slowly closed her eyes, tears gradually welling up.

Hearing Lin Xiaoting’s words, Chen Tianlong felt inexplicably touched.

For orphans, he was highly sensitive; truth be told, he and his sister, Mo Jing, were also orphans. Just temporarily, there’s still an aunt. Should she pass away, the two of them would be in solitude.

"Why do you choose to be with people from Japan, why not stay in Huaxia?" Chen Tianlong took a deep breath, while still suspecting the document was with her, this time he just wanted to talk with the girl.

"Huaxia... in my memory, it’s a very ancient name, eight years ago, my family left one by one from this sacred place, leaving only me. For survival, I had no choice!"

The rest, Lin Xiaoting couldn’t disclose, after all, Chen Tianlong was but a passing acquaintance; even though she had a secret crush on him, she didn’t fully understand what kind of person Chen Tianlong was, unable to reveal all her details.

"Alright, for survival!"

Hearing this, Chen Tianlong felt very touched, in the past, hadn’t he been like Lin Xiaoting?-in that instant, he felt sympathy for Lin Xiaoting, seeing she was similar to him.

"Whew... alright, I just want to ask one thing, is the list with you or not? It’s very important to our Huaxia, if you’re still Huaxia’s citizen, please be kind and give it to me!" Chen Tianlong pleaded.

Lin Xiaoting opened her eyes, seeing such sincerity, unable to stay mad, she smiled slightly, clearly satisfied, "Chen Tianlong, if I say it’s not with me, will you believe me?"

Seeing this, Chen Tianlong stared blankly at Lin Xiaoting’s eyes for a dozen seconds, finally nodding.

Lin Xiaoting burst into tears and laughter, nobody could understand her current feelings; to be understood by someone she liked felt incredibly joyful.

But Chen Tianlong was perplexed, if the document wasn’t with Lin Xiaoting, where could it be?

"If I’m not mistaken, someone took it from Mr. Songmu’s body. From what I know about Songmu, even if dead, he wouldn’t trust anyone or let anything leave his body." Lin Xiaoting analyzed.

Upon hearing this, Chen Tianlong’s headache intensified, from tracking Songmu to his demise, no other person appeared, except the eldest brother...

Eldest brother?

The name suddenly appeared in Chen Tianlong’s mind, but he soon shook his head. Chen Tianlong knew the eldest brother’s character, dedicated to the Assassin Group, living and dying for the cause.

Thanks to the eldest brother over the years, taking care of the Assassin Group so well during the master’s seclusion, such ability isn’t found in ordinary people. So in Chen Tianlong’s eyes, he was nothing but revered.

"Chen Tianlong, did you see anyone else with Mr. Songmu?" Lin Xiaoting immediately thought of this point.

"Well... there was someone, but..."

At this point, Chen Tianlong hesitated.

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoting frowned, sensing Chen Tianlong seemed to be hiding something, so she calmly said, "Do you have any accomplices on this ship?"

"Kinda!" Chen Tianlong shrugged, unsure when the eldest brother had boarded. This ship was contracted by the Black Alliance, so to come aboard without detection, one would have to sneak on beforehand.
