Chapter 45: Qin Bing is the Perfect Candidate for the Bitter Plan:
"You know?" Qin Bing's eyes were cold as frost, and she pointed the dagger straight at Yun Bufan. "Tell me quickly, or I'll kill you!"
Yun Bufan raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, but his expression remained cheerful. "If you kill me, you'll never know who the culprit is. As the leader of the Assassin's League, you should have enough intelligence to understand that, right, Miss Qin?"
Qin Bing's pupils contracted. "You know who I am?"
Yun Bufan smiled faintly. "I not only know who you are, but I also know that you are the sole survivor of the Qin family massacre."
Clang!
Qin Bing seemed to take a heavy blow, and the dagger fell from her hand. Her eyes, sharp as knives, locked onto Yun Bufan, trying to read something from his expression.
However, Yun Bufan's face was calm, and his eyes were as deep and serene as a bottomless lake.
Qin Bing suddenly realized that this man before her wasn't the good-for-nothing, arrogant rich brat Su Chen had described.
"How about a deal?" Yun Bufan said after Qin Bing's expression calmed down.
"You're negotiating with me?" Qin Bing was incredulous. She was always the one making deals with others.
"Is there a problem? If you don't like it, you can kill me. I only have one life." Yun Bufan's tone was relaxed.
Sigh—Qin Bing gave in. She knew she couldn't intimidate Yun Bufan. "What kind of deal do you want?"
Yun Bufan replied, "You must not harm me or my family, including any threats. Also, if I need your help, you have to assist me. The term is one year."
Qin Bing was displeased. "One year is too long."
"Then forget it!" Yun Bufan shrugged and turned to leave.
"Wait!" Qin Bing's face was grim. "Alright, I agree."
She made up her mind that if she found any clues within the year, she would deal with Yun Bufan ruthlessly. Yun Bufan understood her thoughts but was confident he could completely win over this ruthless woman within a year.
The negotiation concluded, Yun Bufan got into the car.
Seeing him safe, Zhen Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief. "Where to? I'll drive you home," Yun Bufan said to her.
Zhen Xiaoxiao gave him her address and remained silent the entire way, feeling a bit guilty. "He isn't so bad after all," she thought to herself.
After Yun Bufan left, Su Chen called Qin Bing. "Master Sister, did you deal with Yun Bufan?" Su Chen asked eagerly.
"No. I don't plan to touch him for now," Qin Bing replied calmly.
"What? Sister, you promised me! Did he bribe you?" Su Chen was instantly agitated.
"Xiao Chen, what are you saying? Do you think I'm that easily bribed?" Qin Bing was displeased.
Realizing his mistake, Su Chen quickly apologized. "Sister, I'm sorry. I was too anxious. Yun Bufan is too despicable, always causing trouble. I feared he'd trick you."
"Alright, I have my own plans regarding Yun Bufan. We'll discuss this later," Qin Bing replied, not wanting to reveal the Qin family matters, and casually dismissed Su Chen.
After hanging up, Su Chen was extremely frustrated. What did Yun Bufan say to his master sister? With her decisive nature, there was no reason to let him go. Su Chen was at a loss, feeling like Yun Bufan was always one step ahead.
After ending the call, Qin Bing looked somewhat lost. Yun Bufan's words brought back memories of that tragic night when she was seven, witnessing the fall of the Qin family. She got into her car and searched for a bar on her phone.
Meanwhile, Yun Bufan had just dropped Zhen Xiaoxiao home and was about to drive back when a crisp sound echoed in his mind.
[Ding! System has issued a villain mission!]
[Qin Bing will encounter trouble at a bar. Prevent Su Chen from saving Qin Bing to avoid her developing gratitude towards him]
[Mission: Scream Bar]
Yun Bufan paused, and recalled a plot in the novel where Qin Bing, reminiscing about her family's tragedy, drank in a bar.
She was harassed by local thugs, drugged, and nearly assaulted.
Fortunately, Su Chen arrived in time, and despite some problems, this event made Qin Bing develop feelings for him, eventually becoming one part of his harem.
Even without the system's prompt, Yun Bufan would have intervened.
Qin Bing, holding the Assassin's League's power, would be a significant obstacle if she sided with Su Chen. He had to disrupt their relationship. Yun Bufan quickly devised a plan.
...
(At Scream Bar)
It was just past 7 PM, and the crowd hadn't fully arrived yet.
A few people glanced towards the bar, where a hot woman sat. Dressed in tight black clothes, her tall, curvy figure was on full display. Her long legs in leather pants and high-heeled boots added to her allure. Most importantly, she seemed to be in a bad mood, drinking one glass after another, looking slightly drunk. It was a prime opportunity for those with bad intentions. Many eyed her with ill intentions, ready to take advantage.
Ring ring! Qin Bing's phone suddenly rang. "Hello," she answered vaguely.
"Sister, where are you?" Su Chen wanted to apologize again but sensed something was off in her tone.
"Me? I'm drinking," Qin Bing replied with a bitter smile.
"Sister, have you had too much? Where are you? I'll come get you," Su Chen said anxiously.
"I'm at Scream Bar." Qin Bing hung up and continued drinking.
"Hey, beauty..." A shady-looking man approached her.
"Get lost," Qin Bing snapped coldly.
Intimidated by her aura, the man backed off but wasn't afraid. He whispered something to his friends, and one handed him a pill. He approached Qin Bing again, ready to spike her drink.
Yun Bufan was waiting patiently, and saw everything. As the man prepared to drug her, Yun Bufan intervened.
"Miss Qin, it's dangerous for a woman to be out alone," Yun Bufan said.
Qin Bing looked at him. "What are you doing here?"
Then, following his gaze, she saw the pill in the man's hand.
"Trying to drug me? You must have a death wish!" Qin Bing moved to act but, being drunk, fell into Yun Bufan's arms.
"Brat, do you know who I am? Messing with me is a bad idea!"
The man threw a punch.
Bang!
Yun Bufan's nose was hit, and blood flowed. He deliberately didn't dodge. Qin Bing, a woman who responded better to a soft approach, was perfect for the bitter plan.
As the man prepared to strike again, a dagger pressed against his neck.
"Scram!" Qin Bing coldly threatened. The man retreated reluctantly.
"You're drunk. I'll take you upstairs to rest," Yun Bufan said, and helped Qin Bing to a room in the upstairs hotel.
"You know?" Qin Bing's eyes were cold as frost, and she pointed the dagger straight at Yun Bufan. "Tell me quickly, or I'll kill you!"
Yun Bufan raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, but his expression remained cheerful. "If you kill me, you'll never know who the culprit is. As the leader of the Assassin's League, you should have enough intelligence to understand that, right, Miss Qin?"
