Chapter 218: Chapter 216 Unreliable Insider News Chapter 218 -216 Unreliable Insider News Three days later!

After Taotie’s investigation, Fang Xiaocao had basically grasped Wan Xiaozhou’s identity and background.

Wan Xiaozhou came from a small city in the south.

She had learned her family’s martial arts from a young age and had become quite skilled. Later, when she went to high school and lived away from home, she inadvertently showed off her skills and caught the attention of a certain power. After some interaction, Wan Xiaozhou joined this power without really understanding how or why.

After a period of training, Wan Xiaozhou became a qualified assassin.

And not just any assassin, but an outstanding one!

After accomplishing several missions, she became well-known.

Just when this power wanted to turn Wan Xiaozhou into a domestic gold-medal assassin, to grow and strengthen their influence and step out into the world…

The stronghold of this power was destroyed…

Yes, that’s right!

It was taken down by enemies.

As a result, Wan Xiaozhou became a free individual.

Don’t ask why Wan Xiaozhou was fine when the power was destroyed and ended up a free individual.

The answer is strength!

Wan Xiaozhou escaped amidst layers of encirclement and assassination.

Having regained her freedom, Wan Xiaozhou became a professional bounty hunter.

As the name implies,

a bounty hunter is someone who will do any job if the money is right. If there’s a job they can’t do, it simply means the price isn’t right. But if the client is willing to add more money, even something previously impossible might be worth a try—the Money-Adding Lay Buddhist fits this description.

Wan Xiaozhou was such a Money-Adding Lay Buddhist!

Wan Xiaozhou’s employment by Zhi Group, getting close to Zhi Qi and becoming her assistant, was also the result of an unknown employer’s money, asking her to infiltrate Zhi Group and gather corporate secrets, without any other special purpose.

After reviewing the documents in hand, Fang Xiaocao nodded, “The information is pretty clean, nothing special. She can stay and serve as a maid!”

“However, the enemy that destroyed Wan Xiaozhou’s former power needs to be thoroughly investigated. We don’t want to encounter someone from that power who recognizes Wan Xiaozhou and schemes against us while we remain unaware.”

“This task is yours to handle, Taotie. You don’t have any objections, do you?”

As she spoke, Fang Xiaocao looked towards Taotie, who was sitting on the couch, waiting for his response.

Taotie chuckled, “Princess Your Highness, rest assured, I will take care of this. With the reach of the Blacklist, such things in the underworld are easy to investigate.”

Taotie laughed with confidence—after all, he had the capital to do so.

Hearing Taotie’s words, Fang Xiaocao nodded with satisfaction, “Good, it’s in your hands.”

Then, Fang Xiaocao turned to Tom, “Tom, go and bring our little maid out, please. The background check is finished, and she can officially start her duties.”

With that, Fang Xiaocao smiled.

She was quite pleased to have another little maid in the villa, especially since Wan Xiaozhou’s cooking was quite tasty, way better than takeout. These past few days, Fang Xiaocao had developed quite a craving.

Fang Xiaocao would indeed find it hard to let go of Wan Xiaozhou.

Now that Wan Xiaozhou had passed the assessment and was to become a glorious little maid of the villa, Fang Xiaocao was genuinely happy for her.

“Alright, I’ll go fetch her!”

Upon hearing Miss Fang’s order, Tom nodded, got up from the couch, and headed towards the storage room.

Wan Xiaozhou had been living in the storage room for the past three days.

Whenever Tom needed Wan Xiaozhou to clean, he would haul her out of the storage room, watch her work, and after she finished, Tom would toss her back inside.

When Wan Xiaozhou was needed to cook…

Well…

He’d continue to haul her out and throw her into the kitchen.

After the meal was ready, she brought it back to the storage room.

Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.

Anyway, it was…

Wan Xiaozhou would be taken out for a walk whenever he was needed for work.

Once he was done, he would be thrown back into the storage room and locked up.

“Princess Your Highness, if you need more hands, why not let me select a few elite female assassins from the Blacklist for you? They are all trained by the system, skilled in various life skills, and their combat abilities are all quite decent,”

after watching Tom leave, Taotie said with a chuckle.

Fang Xiaocao hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, “No, we can’t directly use the female assassins from the Blacklist. It isn’t safe and can easily catch the attention of people from the Blacklist, causing unnecessary trouble. If someone traces it back to you and you get exposed, that would be an even bigger issue.”

Hearing Fang Xiaocao’s words, Taotie shrugged his shoulders and didn’t say anything more.

He didn’t really care. He had nothing to lose and feared nothing. If they wanted to investigate, let them. If found, he’d just say he sent someone on a mission, and they never returned. That would be the end of it.

If anyone dared to make a fuss, he’d simply beat them up.

Beat up whoever objected!

Until they were convinced!

But since Fang Xiaocao had refused, Taotie dropped the subject. Everything should be as per Fang Xiaocao’s will.

“By the way, what’s the situation with Zhi Group?”

“Is it an external force cultivated by the Blacklist?”

This was something Fang Xiaocao was very curious about.

She wanted to know whether Zhi Qi was a person from the Blacklist. If he was, why did the Blacklist encircle him in the mountains in the first place?

If he wasn’t, what was the meaning of that list, and why would Zhi Group’s hotel aid people from the Blacklist in assassinating her?

If Zhi Qi was from the Blacklist, it would explain why they hired an assassin to kill her.

Of course…

Fang Xiaocao wasn’t sure if the person who hired the assassin to kill her was indeed Zhi Qi, but among all the suspects, Zhi Qi was the most likely.

Upon hearing Fang Xiaocao’s question, Taotie was slightly startled and looked at her with some confusion, “Princess Your Highness, who fed you such baseless rumors? Zhi Group? Such a huge family enterprise couldn’t possibly be cultivated by the Blacklist. Princess Your Highness is giving the Blacklist too much credit. Zhi Group has enough wealth to cultivate two Blacklists.”

Fang Xiaocao: “…”

Okay, okay, so baseless, huh?

Taotie, you just wait for me, Princess!

Dare to say I’m blabbering nonsense!

Fang Xiaocao gave an awkward smile, “Hehe… I just heard some gossip.”

Fang Xiaocao could only pretend what she had deduced was mere gossip.

What else could she do?

She certainly couldn’t tell Taotie that she herself was the source of those baseless rumors.

“Hahaha, Princess Your Highness, your little piece of gossip really isn’t very reliable!”

The thick-skinned Taotie hadn’t noticed the slight offness in Fang Xiaocao’s expression.

Fang Xiaocao forced a smile, “Isn’t that so…”

“So what’s the deal with Zhi Group?”

“Why would they help the Blacklist to assassinate me?”

“And what’s the deal with this list?”

Fang Xiaocao didn’t want to beat around the bush with ‘gossip’ anymore and directly voiced the doubts in her mind.

As she spoke, Fang Xiaocao also took out the list she had taken from Taotie’s briefcase from Villa Number 5.

Seeing the list, Taotie was startled and looked at Fang Xiaocao in surprise: “Wasn’t this list taken by the Goddess of Vengeance?”
