When Shi Yu returned home, he sat on the sofa and recollected the day's events. William's shock and joy to such a degree were things she had never seen before.
As if infected by the atmosphere, she could not help but smile.
However, when she turned around and saw the photo on the table, William also smiled.
William should be sharing his joy with his wife right now.
He looked at his wife and suddenly remembered that these days seemed to be going too smoothly. He couldn't help but worry, then he said to his wife, "Pack up your things. We'll sell what we can and take what we can't. We'll move out tonight as soon as possible."
Looking at William's solemn expression, his wife seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter. She grabbed their daughter and whatever necessities she could carry and drove away as quickly as they could.
It was not until late that night that William received a call from the fire department. They said that his house was on fire, and he asked where he was. William and his wife looked at each other and answered the phone, saying that he had long moved away and was now living at his aunt's house; if the house was gone, so be it.
Seeing that the owner did not care, the fire department suddenly felt that it did not matter. They put out the fire with a water gun and demolished the burned building.
A sense of crisis came from William's heart. It was as if a big hand was driving William's judgment.
Looking at her worried husband, the wife held William's hand tightly and said to him, "We will be fine."
William did not know who to contact now, so he had to call Shi Yu.
Shi Yu, who was sleeping soundly, was a little surprised when he received William's call in the middle of the night. However, when he heard that William's house was on fire, he began to understand.
The killer's acted faster than he had imagined. Fortunately, William was an intelligent person and left early.
Shi Yu said to William, "You can come to my house now. You can think about other things tomorrow morning."
Not long after, William knocked on Shi Yu's door. Looking at the family of three, Shi Yu arranged a room for them and called William out.
At the sight of the warm family, Shi Yu could not explain William's current situation.
However, William seemed to understand. "Mr. Shi Yu, I know that I am being targeted, but I have no other choice now. I can only look for you."
Shi Yu suddenly felt a headache. As an assassin, he had always liked to be alone. However, now that there were three members of William's family in the house, he was not used to it.
However, he could only nod at William. "You guys can go look for a new house tomorrow."
After saying that, he returned to the room. William looked at Shi Yu's back and saw the photo of himself on the table. He could not help but feel curious. He walked over and saw that it was his reward. William stood where he was, deep in thought.
Then, he put the photo back and shook his head. If his boss really wanted to kill him, he would not have waited until now.
The following day, Shi Yu was woken up by a knock on the door. He put on his clothes and went out, and a table full of dishes greeted him on the table.
William said bashfully, "I see that you have a kitchen set. You gave me everything. I don't think I can repay you. Let my family make you breakfast."
Looking at William's sincere eyes, Shi Yu nodded silently. He sat down and began to eat in silence.
William, too, tacitly did not mention the bounty.
After the two of them left in Shi Yu's car, William finally could not help but ask, "If you knew that someone wanted to assassinate me, why didn't you tell me?"
Shi Yu seemed to have realized William's reaction. "I've told you everything. What other ability do you have to handle things? Then what do I need you for?"
William remained silent. Shi Yu spoke again, "If you die, it can only mean that you're not smart enough. Then, you don't have the right to protect the wealth that you've obtained."
William listened to Shi Yu's words but gave no answer. He seemed to be thinking about something in his heart.
He came to a house and looked at the house in front of him. It was a two-story house with an open-air balcony. There were no neighbors around it. Behind it was a forest. It was very quiet. William looked at Shi Yu.
"This is the new house I chose for you. I've looked around, and it's very safe. You guys can move here."
William nodded gratefully.
That afternoon, William's family moved into the new house. The sight of the warm family seemed to touch Shi Yu's heart. He simply said goodbye and left.
That night, a cold wind blew. Two figures flew past the tree branches, bringing with them white snow. Behind William's house, these two figures quickly began to assemble something.
Upon careful inspection, it was a large-caliber sniper rifle. The two lay motionless on the hillside. Pure white snowflakes slowly fell on their bodies.
A discordant voice came from the silent forest. "You guys are really patient... You even found them."
The two assassins were shocked. They did not realize that another person had appeared beside them. They looked around to see that there was no one around. Instantly, they started looking around vigilantly.
"Hey..."
The two men looked towards the voice and saw a man squatting on a tree branch, holding a cigarette between his fingers.
Shi Yu pouted and jumped down from the tree, patting the snow off his body, and asked, "Who sent you?"
"Why are you so obsessed with William's Family?"
The two of them looked at each other and took out their daggers. At this moment, Shi Yu also threw down his cigarette. A poker card suddenly appeared in his fingers.
As the assassins rushed at Shi Yu, a fierce flame flashed in his eyes. The poker card left his hand and sped at the killers.
A second later, the card hit the head of one killer. The other killer clenched his teeth and crossed his arms to defend against Shi Yu, who was rushing at him.
The next second, the assassin was sent flying as if he had been hit by a truck. He felt as if his body was falling apart. He spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood instantly dyed the snow, and a bright red bloomed in the snow.
"Who sent you?"
"Are you going to kill William just because he took over, or because you don't want to split another piece of profit with him?"
The assassin said, "If I tell you, will you spare me?"
Hearing this, Shi Yu stepped on the assassin's injured arm again.
"Do you think you have the right to negotiate with me?!"
The assassin's painful and twisted face prompted Shi Yu to let go of his leg.
"We are also working with money. We are not clear about matters pertaining to the higher-ups."
Hearing the assassin's words, Shi Yu did not want to waste his breath. These assassins were simply following orders knew no vital information.
Thus, Shi Yu turned to the killer and said, "Go back and tell your people that William is now my man. If you want to find trouble, come find me. After that, hand over a red ace to the killer."
Seeing this, the killer gritted his teeth and climbed up from the ground. He did not care about his companion's corpse and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
