Chapter 416: A Farewell Without Looking Back

d furrows his small brow, "Mommy, when other kids go to school, Mommy always tells them to be good listeners, to listen to the teacher, and if they are bullied by other kids, to find the teacher. Why..."Don't go looking for death, get lost." The assassin stepped forward, grabbed Hehe by the collar, and was about to fling him away.

"Let me go, let me go!" He struggled and glared with his legs apart.

Shen Ningran gritted her teeth, mustered all her strength and rushed forward, rescuing He He from the assassin's grasp.

"Listen to Mommy, hurry up and get in the car, Mommy can handle things here."

Shen Ningran was very afraid of scaring the two children. This kind of scene would leave too many psychological shadows on children.

"What are you dawdling about Separate these two children!" The leader snapped impatiently.

Two little kids hugged Shen Ningran tightly, unwilling to let go at all.

Perhaps the two little ones also saw that these people were only targeting Shen Ningran and didn't dare to touch them. They entangled with them here, stalling for time, hoping someone would come to rescue them soon.

"Wait a minute."

Shen Ningran shouted loudly, stopping the killer's steps.

Is there anything else you would like to say

"You are from the Qianying Pavilion!"

At the woman's confident tone, several approaching assassins stopped.

It is a taboo to be exposed during the execution of a mission. At best, you will face punishment from the organization, at worst, death.

Therefore they have always been very careful.

But this woman recognized them at once.

The leading killer narrowed his eyes, "How did you recognize us"

Shen Ningran pointed at the dagger on the ground. The hilt had a subtle carving of the character "ying" (shadow).

'Shadow' of the Thousand Shadows Pavilion, the people belonging to Mu Qianlin.

Having interacted with Mu Qianlin before, Shen Ningran had noticed the specialized insignia on their weapons.

The leader's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "Since you've recognized me, you have no chance of surviving. Attack!"

"Find Shadow Pavilion and 牧千麟, give him a call to see if he knows 夜辭."

"Do you still know Master Ci" The assassin grew even more wary.

"Yes, I not only know that, but I also know you are both part of an assassin organization. You took the contract to kill me. If I die, Ye Ci will be able to easily find you all in the investigation."

Since you know my name, you should also know that I am the young lady of the Gong family and the mother of Bo Jin Yu's child. I died for no reason, they will definitely not let it go, and then your Qian Ying Pavilion will immediately become a live target.

Don't expect it to be flawless. You know what kind of person Ye Ci is, you should also know what the Gong family is like, and what means Bo Jin Yu uses, you should be very clear about that.

At this point, a hint of hesitation appeared in the eyes of the lead assassin.

After a moment's thought, he raised his hand, and the person still grappling with Gongyu immediately stopped their actions.

Gong Yu quickly dashed toward Shen Ning Ran, “Sister, are you alright”

Shen Ningran shook her head, pushing the two children towards Gong Yu. She stared intently at the leader of the assassins, "I know you are all smart people. I have two choices here. First, give me the card number, and I'll double your money. You leave, and this ends here. We won't pursue it further."

Another choice, kill me. When I'm dead, you all, including everyone in the Thousand Shadows Pavilion, will be buried with me.

Shen Ningran clenched her hands tightly, watching them. Her heart said she wasn't afraid, but that was a lie. Right now, she didn't dare show any fear on her face.

The assassins at the front didn't speak right away, and the assassins behind them also looked at each other in confusion.

Obviously, they didn't fully believe Shen Ningran's words.

The leading assassin stared menacingly at Shen Ningran, and snarled, "Now that you've recognized us, if we let you go, you'll bring others to seek revenge on us, and we'll be finished."

"Martial arts sparring should be about testing skills, not seeking revenge. "

Shen Ningran's words implied that she only treated tonight's events as a martial arts exchange, with no casualties. No one could blame the other, so there was no question of revenge.

Shen Ningran has put all her sincerity on the table. If they are wise, they will not make a move again.

A chilling silence descended...

Shen Ningran stood straight and spoke firmly, seeming fearless. Only she knew that at this moment, her nervousness was so intense that she could hear her own heartbeat.

Her words were a gamble.

If you win the bet, both parties will be safe and sound. But if you lose, even your child might be in danger.

But she really had no other choice at this moment.

Several assassins are starting to back down. They themselves don't care about dying, they've long since put life and death out of their minds when they got into this line of work, but they've implicated the organization, and the organization will not let their families go.

“Boss, maybe we should go back and ask the client first. She might know the Elder. What if she's really dead If it turns out we took the job and get caught, our entire organization will be implicated. We'll be walking into a dead end even if we go back... My wife is about to give birth. I don't care what happens to me, but I don't want to drag her down."

Everyone understands that it's better to have both sides win than for both sides to lose.

The leading killer pondered for a few seconds.

Shen Ningran stared at him intently, not daring to relax in the slightest.

Finally, after a suffocating wait, he waved his hand, signaling his men to drop their weapons.

We don't need Miss Shen's money, we only need Miss Shen to keep her word. Otherwise, we won't let you off even if we become ghosts.

Shen Ningran released her sweaty palms, nodding. “I have children and a family. I also want to live a peaceful life without being consumed by revenge.”

"Please make good on your word, Miss Shen." The man waved his hand. "Retreat."

Shen Ningran saw them about to leave, and she let out a sigh of relief. She lowered her head and comforted the children, "It's okay, it's okay."

"What's going on" Lin Yiwu and Pei Zhen stared in disbelief.

Although they couldn't hear what the assassins were saying inside the car, they saw them retreat directly.

Shen Ningran is still fine, and they actually withdrew.

What happened

What did Shen Ningran tell them exactly

Just when they were at a loss.

Suddenly…

A gunshot, seemingly from nowhere, echoed through the air.

Lin Yiwei and Pei Zhen were so frightened that they instantly hugged their heads.

Shen Ningran suddenly turned her head and looked at the person who had fallen in front of her, her pupils shrinking violently.

"Shadow Seven!"

The leader of the assassins looked sadly at his fallen comrades. "Ying Qi! Ying Qi..."

Shen Ning was dumbfounded. The man who had just claimed his wife was about to give birth and then collapsed after being shot in the back was the assassin.

At this moment, he was lying in the arms of the leader of the assassins, blood gushing from his mouth. He clutched his arm with all his remaining strength and gasped, "Brother... help...help me...take care of Ahe and...the children..."

Before he could finish his words, the man breathed his last.

Shen Ningran suddenly looked toward the darkness.

Who fired the gun

Suddenly, her arm was pulled hard by Gong Yu. A dagger flew straight toward her chest. Fortunately, Gong Yu reacted in time.

Shen Ningran looked at the assassin who had attacked her. She knew in her heart...

It's done!

But she still wanted to explain at this moment, "It wasn't our people who fired the shots."

"You really don't want to honor your word. You first used sweet words to get us to put down our weapons, and then you captured us all at once. You are truly a wicked woman."

At this moment, their anger was completely ignited, and they no longer believed Shen Ningran's words at all.

The first man waved his hand, his eyes full of killing intent.

"Not one left."ice soft, "Are you here to pick me up""We'd like to discuss a potential collaboration with you, please let us know your availability.""Convenient."The agent hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Sor...
