She tossed her gear onto the metal table, blade, gas capsule launcher, a data chip. "She was stronger than we expected. And the boy… her son, I didn't know they knew how to fight."
Lu Wan Ruyi and Lu Zi Zhen always kept a low profile but when it came to fighting! They were elites.
He stood slowly on his feet. "You were told to neutralize the target. No complications. No excuses. It was as easy as that!"
She met his gaze evenly, even as her knees threatened to buckle. "There was a black ops Hawk unit. Not estate security. Not police, very tactical, and precise. Fast. We couldn't outmatch them!"
"Lu Zi Zhen's private force."
She nodded once. "He's more dangerous than you thought. He didn't hesitate. He looked at me like... like he was already planning how I would die. I couldn't risk it."
The man exhaled, disappointed. "Wan Ruyi was supposed to be an easy target and a message to Lu Zhi Hao. Now she's alive. They will fortify and soon they will retaliate."
