Chen Yao let out a sinister laugh and turned to Chen Menglu. "You like that Shangguan Xiu, don't you? But he's clearly infatuated with that woman by his side—An Xiaomian. I did promise him I wouldn't touch his woman. However, I can pay someone to hire a few assassins to do the job. It's not like those assassins would reveal who their employer is. Even if Shangguan Xiu suspects me, he won't have any evidence. So technically, I'm not breaching our agreement."
Chen Menglu's eyes lit up with excitement. "Yes, yes, Brother, you're right! Let's do it exactly like that. Hire more assassins. Once that woman is dead, I'll have my chance!"
Chen Yao didn't respond. He merely shot a cold glance at his lovesick sister before saying nothing further.
Instead, he pulled out his phone and dialed a number, instructing his men to immediately find a few assassins as he had urgent need of them.

The next day.
