He was so persuasive that he actually practiced extraordinary

However, he was not facing one person, but several highly trained special forces soldiers. Zhang Beixing instructed, "Do not kill him under any circumstances. Make sure he is alive and interrogated thoroughly. Also, prevent him from committing suicide."

The special forces soldiers didn't answer, but they all followed Zhang Beixing's orders. A few seconds later, the assassin was subdued.

The people in the next ward were woken up and came over to see what was going on. But when they saw the scene before them, they were all shocked and quickly returned to their own wards.

Zhang Beixing said, "Please arrange for him to stay somewhere so that he doesn't disturb my rest."

The assassin was then taken away. Zhang Beixing continued to rest in bed.

At the same time, Shui Qingli was awakened by a nightmare. She screamed and sat up abruptly in bed.

Her cries woke Shui Lili. Shui Lili asked, "Miss, what happened? Did you have a nightmare?"

Shui Qingli said, "I had a nightmare, but it felt incredibly real. I dreamt that an assassin was pointing a gun at Zhang Beixing, and Zhang Beixing was completely powerless to fight back. I could only watch helplessly as the bullets shot into Zhang Beixing's head, and then I woke up in fright."

Shui Lili comforted her, "Miss, you don't need to worry too much. Didn't you already send special forces to protect Zhang Beixing? Besides, Zhang Beixing only guessed that there would be assassins, and it's not necessarily true that there will be."

Shui Qingli said, "But this dream felt so real. I want to call Zhang Beixing right now to confirm it."

Shui Lili advised, "Miss, what time is it now? You should wait until daytime to make a call."

Shui Qingli sighed, but then she couldn't fall asleep. She hoped Shui Lili could chat with her, but seeing how sleepy Shui Lili was, she couldn't bear to disturb her.

The next day, before dawn, Shui Qingli couldn't help but call Zhang Beixing.

"Zhang Beixing, were you alright last night?" Shui Qingli asked anxiously.

"It's alright, that guy has been brought under control," Zhang Beixing replied.

Shui Qingli was stunned. Could there really be an assassin? She quickly asked Zhang Beixing to tell her what had happened. Zhang Beixing then told her the relevant details in detail.

"So your premonition really came true." Shui Qingli was still shaken. If Zhang Beixing hadn't expected this, and she hadn't sent anyone to protect him, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Zhang Beixing, however, said that this was not just a simple premonition.

This is not just speculation, but an inference based on normal circumstances; things are likely to develop in this way.

Shui Qingli quickly told Shui Lili the news. She never expected that something would actually happen last night, but fortunately, nothing serious occurred.

During the day, the killer will be put on trial.

Shui Qingli planned to teach this assassin a lesson, just like the punishment the common people suffered after being bewitched by Master Lin last time. This time, she had to subject him to severe torture.

That morning, Mary frantically called the assassin, but the phone rang and no one answered.

The personnel in charge of the relevant trial have recorded this number.

Mary began to have doubts. Had something happened? Why was no one answering the phone?
She panicked immediately. Wasn't the assassin organization supposed to never fail? Could they really not handle an injured person?

So she quickly called the assassin organization to find out what was going on.

The other party responded that they had never failed, and the assassins they sent out were the elite of the elite, making it impossible for them to make a mistake.

“But I still can’t get in touch with him,” Mary said anxiously.

"Princess, please don't worry, just wait patiently. Perhaps something has delayed you," the other person comforted her.

But these words did nothing to reassure Mary.

She had no appetite all morning.

Many of the servants around her were baffled by her appearance.

Just then, Tom Twelve and the others returned.

Tom Twelve felt a little more at ease after returning to the office building, since he was back in his own territory.

He soon noticed that his niece Mary was acting strangely. His office wasn't far from Mary's, and he saw her looking lost and disoriented in the hallway.

“Niece, are you still sad about that?” Tom Twelve asked.

“Uncle, did you really not handle that matter well?” Mary asked rhetorically.

"Why did you come back like this?" Mary then asked.

Tom Twelve was extremely displeased upon hearing this. It was simply outrageous that she would speak to him in such a accusatory tone.

Even if this makes her feel bad, she shouldn't act so recklessly.

“Uncle, you’ve come back in such a sorry state.” Mary muttered again.

"Alright, you talk too much," Tom Twelve said impatiently.

“I know you don’t like hearing this, but this whole thing is your fault. If you hadn’t framed them, they wouldn’t have treated me like this,” Mary persisted.

"That's enough, didn't you hear me? Why are you going on and on?" Tom Twelve really didn't want to argue with her anymore, so he quickly returned to his office.

In Lin Kingdom, after a trial, the assassin finally couldn't take it anymore and stopped being stubborn.

He admitted that the princess had orchestrated everything, and that the relevant authorities had recorded his conversation.

Next, he will face the sanctions of the laws of the Lin Kingdom.

Shui Qingli immediately demanded that the recording and video be published online and promoted as much as possible.

Meanwhile, everyone who forwarded and saved the post received traffic support. Thus, the matter slowly began to gain traction.

Eventually, the news reached Mary.

Mary was in great pain, never expecting that something really bad had happened.

Why is it that this assassin never fails, but when it's my turn to use him, things go wrong? Is my life just that unlucky?

She called the assassin organization again.

The assassin organization said they had also seen the message, were surprised by this turn of events, and would refund her the full amount.

"Am I someone who's short of money? Can't you give me an explanation?" Mary asked angrily.

The assassin organization replied, "We've already explained it to you. Even if you're a princess, you can't treat us like this." Then they hung up the phone.

Mary was both angry and aggrieved, yet there was nothing she could do.

Moreover, the news from Lin Kingdom directly named her, which indicates that the royal family was behind this incident.

Soon, Mary was summoned to Tom Twelve's office.

She walked into Tom Twelve's office and saw that his face was terribly gloomy.

"Don't worry, I'll release a statement saying that this was entirely my own doing and has nothing to do with you," Tom Twelve said angrily.

He had previously made Tom XIII responsible for the shooting, which led many to believe that he was involved.

This time Mary did something like this again, and people will definitely still think that he is involved.

In fact, neither of these things had anything to do with him.

“I know you’re thinking that even if I admit it, people will still think it’s related to you and that you’ve been wronged. But did you really have nothing to do with all those scandalous rumors you made before?” Tom Twelve questioned.

Tom Twelve wanted to retort, but then he thought that he was in the wrong and felt sorry for the other party.

So he said in a calm tone, "You know how much I've lost face since I came back this time. As for your matter, I really have no way to help you."

“But after I hired a hitman, the matter was exposed, you should understand that, right?” Mary pressed.

Tom Twelve nodded slightly.

However, he then fell silent, refusing to utter another word. Mary, feeling utterly helpless, could only return home for the time being.

Tom Twelve knew in his heart that his reputation was not what it used to be.

Members of another party began to take the opportunity to urge him to step down.

He knew that many people were waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

Right now, he had to think of a way to divert everyone's attention away from himself.

Meanwhile, after careful treatment, Zhang Beixing was told by the doctor that he would be able to be discharged from the hospital in a little over two days.

Upon hearing this news, Shui Qingli fell into a daze again, because it meant that Zhang Beixing was leaving again.

Meanwhile, Shui Lili and Zhu Xiaoling decided to go out for a trip that day.

Shui Qingli plans to send people to protect them.

However, the two girls said that having someone follow them would make them feel very uncomfortable.

"Let's send someone to protect you. Lili is alright, but if something happens to Zhu Xiaoling, Zhang Beixing will tear me to pieces, won't he?" Shui Qingli said helplessly.

In the end, the two girls had no choice but to agree to let someone follow them.

Shui Qingli also wanted to finish the mountain of official business as soon as possible and then relax.

But ever since he took the throne, there has never been enough work to do.

There's no way around it; since I'm in this position, I have to do the job.

A little while later, a girl rushed to the door from the office.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!"

Seeing her flustered appearance, Shui Qingli couldn't help but scold her and then asked her what was wrong.

The girl said that someone had just called and said that the luminous pearl from the last auction seemed to have been found.

Shui Qingli was overjoyed and quickly stood up from her office chair.

"Is what you said true?"

The girl said that she couldn't confirm whether the news was true or false, but someone had indeed called.

The other party said they could provide clues, but only if paid.

Shui Qingli said, "We issued a notice before, and people who provide clues will naturally receive a reward. How can we go back on our word?"

The girl said that the other party indicated that he would come to the office of the King's Palace in an hour.

"In that case, arrange for him to go to the reception room," Shui Qingli instructed.

Then, Shui Qingli called Zheng Yude and asked him to handle the matter, since she was of high status and could not just receive this person casually.

Although she really wanted to find out what was going on.

Zheng Yude told his staff to call the person when he arrived.

An hour later, a young man in a trench coat appeared.

He wore a hat and sunglasses, not wanting to show his true face.

He went to the registration office and registered.

The staff asked him to show his ID card and took his photo.

The man replied, "If that's the case, then I won't provide any more clues."

He told the staff not to be so rigid, after all, this was what the king wanted, and he hoped that the king would make an exception for him.

The staff then consulted Zheng Yude.

Zheng Yude said that if this person can provide valuable clues, he doesn't have to show his face; let him in.

Soon, the security guards let him through. The man who provided the clue was overjoyed, feeling confident that he would be able to get in smoothly.

The man was immediately ushered into the reception room, where staff asked him to wait.

Mr. Zheng Yude will be here shortly.

More than ten minutes later, Zheng Yude finally arrived.

The man immediately stood up, and Zheng Yude shook his hand and asked, "How should I address you?"

"Judging from my attire, you can probably guess that I don't want to show my true face. Just call me whatever you like," the man said.

“Alright, let’s get straight to the point. You said you have a clue, what exactly is it?” Zheng Yude asked.

The man revealed that he was a second-generation rich kid and that his family was extremely wealthy.

As he was speaking, he suddenly slapped his forehead: "Oh no, by saying this, am I slowly revealing my identity?"

Zheng Yude smiled but didn't say anything.

The man continued, saying that since his family was wealthy and he didn't need to work, he spent most of his time traveling.

Once, when he went hiking, he went to the restroom and saw a man making a phone call at the entrance of a cave.

It seems like the call was to a doctor, urging him to come and treat his daughter.

He also said that he had already obtained the luminous pearl and hoped that the doctor would help him complete this task as soon as possible.

Zheng Yude asked, "What exactly happened?"

The man said that when he heard the news, he immediately became vigilant.

Because he knew it was explosive news and clues were being collected online, he secretly listened for a while.

It turns out that the man believed the luminous pearl could cure his daughter's illness.

Perhaps this person is truly confused...

Of course, I know nothing about medicine, so maybe such a thing really exists.

However, the doctor said it might take a few more days to arrive, and it seems he's still abroad right now.

The man continued, saying that he wasn't sure whether the luminous pearl the other person mentioned was the same one from the auction.

Zheng Yude said, "Yes, this is indeed a valuable clue. Do you know where that man is now?"

The man said he had been keeping a close eye on the other person and later saw him drive away.

He noted down the license plate number and secretly followed the car in his own car.

Finally, they arrived at a village. The man parked his car nearby and went into a house, assuming that the person lived there.

As he spoke, he pulled a piece of paper from his pocket, on which the man's address and license plate number were printed.

Zheng Yude said they would investigate and if the situation was true, they would definitely give the other party a reward.

However, he hoped that the other party could leave their contact information and payment method.

"Aren't you worried about your identity being exposed again?"

The man said he was being very careful, and although reporting the crime was a good deed, what if he was retaliated against?
Or perhaps he should wait until everything is settled, and then come to collect the money himself. (End of Chapter)
