“Yao Yao, what a good sister you are to me!” Zi Yue’s expression went completely cold.
Shen Yaoyao’s face was just as icy. “Sorry, Yue’er, but you must die today!”
The two War Generals stared each other down, killing intent blazing in their eyes.
“Since you’ve already made your move, it saves me the trouble of coming for you!” Zi Yue gritted her pearly teeth, preparing to counterattack.
“Chen Lin is ruthless indeed. I only quit the organization, and he’s already sent you to kill me!”
“But you’ve underestimated me!”
Zi Yue hooked her foot under the bed frame and kicked upward. A short dagger shot out from the edge of the bed, and she snatched it from the air.
Shen Yaoyao froze for a moment, confused.
What was Zi Yue talking about?
Could she have somehow discovered she had betrayed the Hell Organization? And what did she mean by that line about Chen Lin being ruthless?
Zi Yue lunged forward, charging straight at Shen Yaoyao.
She moved second but struck first, her dagger slashing through the air.
The cold gleam flashed, aimed directly at Shen Yaoyao.
Shen Yaoyao cast aside her bag, and the two clashed in an instant.
Their skills were evenly matched, and from the very first exchange, they were deadlocked.
“Swish, swish, swish!”
“Clang, clang, clang!”
The sounds of clashing weapons rang out without end.
Beyond the blade work, their close-quarters combat techniques were displayed to the fullest.
Two beautiful silhouettes crisscrossed and intertwined.
Finally, after clashing for several dozen more moves—
Shen Yaoyao’s dagger pressed against Zi Yue’s neck.
And Zi Yue’s dagger stopped right at Shen Yaoyao’s throat.
This stalemate made both women frown. Each wanted to strike first to gain the upper hand, and they thrust forward simultaneously.
But they both jerked their heads aside at the same time, each dodging the other’s attack.
Then, in perfect unison, they each threw a palm strike.
The two palms collided, Energy Qi erupting outward as both combatants staggered backward.
In that split second, Zi Yue flicked her wrist, and a cloud of white powder suddenly filled the air.
“Hmph. Since that’s how it is, there’s no need for me to hold back anymore!”
“Perfect, actually. You staying by Jinghong’s side was a huge danger anyway. Consider this me helping him out for once.”
Zi Yue sneered coldly.
She was extremely confident in her poisons.
Shen Yaoyao’s strengths lay in disguise, assassination, and ambush. But her own specialty was poison.
In a confined hotel suite like this, she had the absolute advantage!
Shen Yaoyao covered her mouth and nose, retreating rapidly. But when she heard Zi Yue’s words, she immediately sensed something was off.
“Wait… what did you say?”
“Heh, there’s no point in hiding it anymore. I’m Bai Jinghong’s woman now—his, to be precise!”
“You staying by his side would only bring him harm sooner or later, so I might as well eliminate you!”
Shen Yaoyao was stunned. Her hand dropped, the dagger lowering completely.
“Since when?”
“What? Do you want to go back and report? I’m afraid you won’t get the chance!”
“No… I… I’m his woman too!” Shen Yaoyao said, sounding utterly bewildered.
“???”
Zi Yue was dumbfounded as well.
Finally, the two of them stood apart and explained their respective situations to each other.
With that, the misunderstandings were cleared up.
Once both were certain the other wasn’t lying, Zi Yue hurried over and tossed a pill to Shen Yaoyao.
“Take this, quickly!”
Then Zi Yue rushed to open the windows and air out the room.
“Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
“You didn’t ask!”
The two women exchanged a glance, both feeling a bit awkward.
“So… should we still go shopping?”
“Of course. Let’s go!” Shen Yaoyao smiled lightly.
With everything out in the open, the two acted as if nothing had happened just moments before. Linking arms, they walked out of the hotel room.
Elsewhere, Bai Jinghong had already left the hospital.
He was in the car, heading to the Autumn Club.
He had no idea that his two women had nearly killed each other just moments ago.
He pulled out his phone, intending to call Shen Yaoyao and have her come over too, to arrange the assassination of Gu Tianming.
The moment the call connected, Shen Yaoyao picked up.
And in the background, there was the sound of another woman laughing and playing around.
“Yao Yao, are you out somewhere?”
“Yeah, I’m out shopping with Yue’er!” Shen Yaoyao replied.
“Oh—wait, what?” Bai Jinghong suddenly froze. “With who?”
“Zi Yue!”
Bai Jinghong was still confused. “You two met? Nothing… happened, did it?”
Bai Jinghong had never told Shen Yaoyao about his relationship with Zi Yue.
Initially, he had worried that if things got exposed, Chen Lin would become wary.
But ever since he had come clean with Shen Yaoyao, that concern had become irrelevant.
Still, Bai Jinghong knew one thing: neither woman knew the other had a separate identity outside the Hell Organization.
If they had met without warning, it could very well have led to conflict.
Bai Jinghong had originally planned to call both women together today and explain everything. He never expected they would meet on their own.
Over on the other end, Zi Yue snatched the phone. “And you have the nerve to talk! Your little darling almost killed me.”
Shen Yaoyao wasn’t having it and quickly shot back, “She almost killed me too! She even poisoned me!”
Bai Jinghong was instantly speechless.
Sure enough, exactly that kind of thing had happened.
“So how is it now? Are you both okay?”
“We’re fine! We’re out shopping!”
“…”
He really wanted to call them a pair of plastic sisters!
Bai Jinghong was genuinely at a loss for words.
True to their assassin natures, both women were utterly ruthless.
When it came to major decisions, whatever past camaraderie or sisterhood they had was cast aside without hesitation.
That kind of decisive brutality alone was extraordinary.
“Alright, as long as you’re both okay. Both of you, head over to the Autumn Club. I have something to discuss with you!”
After hanging up, Bai Jinghong couldn’t help rubbing his temples.
Thank God nothing serious had happened. If one had died and the other been injured, he would have suffered a massive loss.
Once both women arrived at the Autumn Club, Bai Jinghong laid out his plan to Shen Yaoyao and Zi Yue.
The two women naturally had no objections.
As for Gu Tianming, Shen Yaoyao dreamed of killing him every moment now.
Even though the assassination was bound to fail, if she could deal him a heavy blow, she would fight to the death for it.
Bai Jinghong, of course, saw right through Shen Yaoyao’s intentions.
He immediately cautioned her, “Yao Yao, if you can’t control yourself, I’ll send someone else instead!”
Shen Yaoyao was burdened with a blood feud. Bai Jinghong could certainly guess what was going through her mind.
But on her own, she truly couldn’t kill Gu Tianming.
Besides, the whole point this time was to use someone else’s knife to spark an all-out battle between Gu Tianming and Chen Lin.
If Shen Yaoyao couldn’t restrain herself, Bai Jinghong definitely wouldn’t let her take that risk.
Shen Yaoyao froze for a moment, then quickly shook her head. “I can do it. And besides, I’m the most suitable person!”
“I’ll control my emotions. After the assassination fails, I’ll retreat immediately. I won’t jeopardize anything!”
“Are you sure?” Bai Jinghong asked.
“Yes. I’m sure.” Shen Yaoyao nodded firmly.
She really had been acting impulsively just now.
“Good. Tonight, I’ll be in the shadows and won’t show myself. Zi Yue will be there to extract you.”
Both women nodded quickly.
If possible, Bai Jinghong naturally wouldn’t send Shen Yaoyao and Zi Yue.
But the two of them were indeed the best choices, especially since Gu Tianming had no idea they had already betrayed the Hell Organization.
The spark to ignite total war would be lit tonight!
After laying out everything, Bai Jinghong looked over the two stunning women before him.
Once this is over, he thought, I absolutely must have a sister combo meal.
The saying goes, “A body without phoenix wings soaring in tandem”—but what a blissful tragedy that would be!
