Chapter 259 Assassination
Chapter 259 Assassination
Night falls over the bustling city of Z, where countless secrets lie hidden in the darkness.
Inside the mansion of Master Hei, the lights were on, but the tightly closed door shut out all the noise from the outside world.
Master Hei was sitting on the leather sofa, holding a glass of red wine in his hand.
He was holding his phone, looking at Qiu Ziyue's photo on the screen, unable to let go of the memory for a long time.
At this moment, a tense atmosphere filled the room, and a hint of danger seemed to emanate from the air.
"Boss Hei, we've found it."
A deep voice broke the silence. The newcomer was Li Tao, one of Black Third Master's most trusted subordinates.
He stood in the center of the room, his expression serious, and continued:
"The owner of the car that was involved in the shooting in the woods that day... was Qi Yuxuan."
Upon hearing this name, Black Third Master's eyes instantly turned icy cold, and a sneer appeared on his lips.
"It was him."
"I'm talking to myself in a low voice, my tone filled with barely concealed anger and murderous intent," Black Third Master muttered to himself.
"We were just about to kill this kid when he came to us."
"According to our investigation, the car was indeed registered under Qi Yuxuan's name, and we learned through some channels that he and a teacher, Qiu Langyu, did appear in that area that night."
Li Tao added, while carefully observing the changes in Black Third Master's expression.
"Good, very good."
Third Master Hei slowly stood up, paced around the room a few times before stopping, and looked sharply at Li Tao.
"It seems that kid already knows it was us, but he's struggling to find evidence. The male butterfly is dead, but has the female butterfly recovered from her injuries yet?"
"Blackie, she's still alive."
"Alright, spare her life; she'll be useful later. Since that's the case, there's no need to hesitate. Immediately arrange for someone to kill Qi Yuxuan."
Li Tao nodded and was about to turn around and leave to carry out the order when Black Third Master suddenly spoke again:
“Wait, we need to be more cautious this time. We can’t leave any clues. I don’t want any more accidents to happen, but we must ensure Qiu Ziyue’s safety.”
"Understood, Third Master Hei."
Li Tao responded, knowing full well that this was an extremely important task that could not be failed.
He quickly left the room and began to plan the assassination mission.
Sunlight streamed into the spacious filming location of Ziyue Media Film Company.
The crew members were busy but organized, preparing for today's filming.
The highly anticipated film "Awaken the Sleeping You" is currently in the midst of intense filming.
The atmosphere at the scene was lively and energetic.
Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan stood in the center of the set, rehearsing a key scene.
Qiu Ziyue plays a psychologist, while Qi Yuxuan plays a patient who has been in a coma for many years due to an accident.
The scenes between the two not only test their acting skills, but also require a deep emotional exchange.
"Let's do it again, it doesn't feel quite right."
Director An spoke softly from the side, his eyes filled with expectation and encouragement.
Qiu Ziyue nodded, took a deep breath, and then immersed herself back into the role.
She gently took Qi Yuxuan's hand and whispered:
"Don't be afraid, I'll always be with you..."
However, behind this seemingly ordinary moment, danger is quietly approaching.
On the rooftop, a figure lurked silently in the shadows.
He gripped a finely modified sniper rifle tightly in his hand.
Through the scope, those cold eyes were fixed on Qi Yuxuan below.
"Target confirmed, waiting for the best opportunity."
The sniper muttered to himself, his finger lightly resting on the trigger, ready to pull it at any moment.
At this moment, he seemed to be isolated from everything around him, completely focused on the action that was about to take place.
Suddenly, a gentle breeze swept by, lifting a few fallen leaves, which twirled and drifted down through the air.
Then, ginkgo leaves that had fallen from the roof drifted down through the skylight.
This subtle change seemed to have triggered some unseen force—the previously peaceful scene instantly became tense.
The sniper quickly took cover to the side.
Seeing no movement inside, the sniper raised his rifle again and prepared.
"Crack!"
With a crisp click of the shutter, the photographer captured the moment.
Hearing the sound, the sniper assumed he had been spotted and prepared to flee immediately.
"Damn it, this is ridiculous," the sniper thought.
But no one noticed that in a corner not far away, a security guard was rushing toward the producer's office.
He was clutching an urgent report tightly in his hand.
Meanwhile, Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan remained engrossed in their performance, completely unaware that danger was lurking nearby.
Their conversations, expressions, and every action were filled with genuine emotion, moving everyone present.
"Are you ready?"
Director An asked, shifting his gaze from the monitor to the two lead actors.
"Ready."
Qiu Ziyue answered, looking at Qi Yuxuan with a firm gaze.
"Let's work together to make this scene a success."
Just as the sniper set up his gun again, and everyone thought everything was going smoothly, something unexpected happened:
The alarm suddenly went off, shattering the tranquility of the film set.
Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and looked around to find the reason.
"what happened?"
Someone asked in a low voice, a puzzled look on their face.
"It's a fire alarm!"
Another staff member shouted loudly,
"Check it quickly!"
Just as everyone was checking the situation, producer Wang Qiang rushed out of his office.
He held the intelligence report he had just received in his hand.
"Attention everyone! Unidentified individuals carrying weapons have entered the building! Everyone evacuate to the safe area immediately!"
Upon hearing this, the entire film set instantly descended into chaos.
The actors and staff began to evacuate the scene quickly, running around looking for shelter.
Qiu Ziyue instinctively grabbed Qi Yuxuan's hand. The two exchanged a glance, both understanding the seriousness of the situation.
"follow me!"
Qiu Ziyue pulled Qi Yuxuan and ran towards the nearest emergency exit.
At the same time, she silently prayed that this sudden crisis would pass as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, the hidden sniper on the rooftop was forced to temporarily abandon his mission and flee due to the unexpected situation.
He quickly packed up his equipment and disappeared into the darkness.
Moments later, the sniper was rapidly moving toward the planned withdrawal route.
His movements were swift and practiced, as if he were already used to such emergencies.
However, as soon as he stepped out of the rooftop entrance, a gust of cold wind hit him in the face.
Then came a chilling silence.
"stop!"
A crisp voice rang out behind him, carrying an unquestionable tone of command.
