The Female Assassin Pretends to Be a Lamb in the Campus

301 - 310

Chapter 301

Qiao Ying took two steps over, quickly squatted down, and reached out to feel the young boy's carotid artery. There was no pulsation at all.

No doctor knew better than her whether the boy was dead or alive at this moment. Qiao Ying's hand left the boy's carotid artery, but did not withdraw. Instead, she stubbornly grabbed the boy's hand, which was as thin as skin and bones.

Feel his pulse.

In the darkness, Qiao Ying did not say a word, her jawline tightened little by little, and the ferocity in her eyes was terrifying and almost substantial.

In this collapsed house, there was nothing that could be called an item that was worth the little boy bringing two precious chocolate cakes here specifically to retrieve.

With something so valuable, he should have run back to the small house his grandfather left him as soon as possible, which would have been safe.

In that small house, there was also Qiao Ying, whom he liked the most and wanted to marry. He would have given the chocolate cakes to Qiao Ying first thing.

Even if he had to die, he should have died near his home, not in the exact opposite direction here.

Even though he had grown up rummaging through garbage in the filthy slums all his life, and had witnessed Qin Hanyue kill his own wicked uncle with his own eyes, when faced with the intimidation of bad people, he must have been terribly afraid.

He was fearful in his heart, and could even foresee the consequences of tricking the bad people, but he still endured the fear all the way and led them here.

Killed with one slash.

The sharp knife slit his throat, and there were still traces of his struggle underneath him, but the chocolate cakes in his hand remained unwilling to let go.

He hadn't spent the money he had hidden, he hadn't worn the spoils he had picked up for more than a few days, and hadn't bought new shoes either.

He hadn't eaten the soup Qin Hanyue would cook tomorrow yet, hadn't delivered today's chocolate cakes to Qiao Ying's hands yet, and he didn't know Qiao Ying would take him away from here and give him a good life. He wouldn't have to pick through garbage to eat anymore. He would have endless new shoes to wear, and after eating well for a few years, he would get his wish and grow very tall and strong.

Even such a young child was not spared, Qin Hanyue once again witnessed the ruthlessness and brutality of the Shadows.

Qiao Ying didn't say anything, slowly retracted her hand, took off Qin Hanyue's coat she was wearing, and covered the young boy with it. Then she stood up and walked out with a murderous aura.

The short dagger in her sleeve slipped into her hand.

"Little Ying." Qin Hanyue followed her worriedly.

"The Shadow's people will arrive here soon. He used his own life to buy us a chance to escape." Qin Hanyue said quickly.

But she simply couldn't hear him. She suddenly quickened her pace and ran towards that small house. Her figure quickly disappeared from sight.

At this time, having received the news, the Shadows were rushing over at top speed.

A few dozen meters away from the small house, Qin Hanyue saw Qiao Ying's figure. But before he could get to Qiao Ying's side, he saw the Shadow's people, who were looking for them.

The man was holding a short dagger, still stained with the young boy's blood.

Not just one assassin, another figure soon appeared from another direction.
