“Could it be that Tom has also been exposed?”

“That doesn’t make sense!”

“How did the people on the blacklist find out that Tom is my man?”

“Even if the blacklist knew Tom is my man, how did they find out his personal information?”

Doubts burgeoned in Fang Xiaocao’s mind.

She couldn’t figure out how the blacklist had found them.

“Princess Your Highness, everything has been arranged.”

Tom approached with a grave tone.

“Mm, that short-handled axe on the table is your weapon.”

“Try not to use the black dagger and gun unless necessary, our battle with the blacklist might attract the police. The short-handled axe was bought from the roadside and it’s no big deal if it gets confiscated, but the black dagger and gun absolutely must not fall into police hands.”

Fang Xiaocao instructed Tom.

“I understand!”

Upon hearing Fang Xiaocao’s words, Tom nodded, picking up the short-handled axe from the table and testing its blade.

“Tom, how do you think the blacklist found us so quickly?”

Fang Xiaocao asked, voicing the doubts in her heart.

“Princess Your Highness, I see two possibilities.”

“One is that this hotel is actually owned by the blacklist, and since you’re already wanted internally, all members of the blacklist know your face.”

“The second possibility is that we were spotted by someone from the blacklist when we checked in.”

Tom sat on a chair and analyzed.

Hearing Tom’s analysis, Fang Xiaocao nodded, finding it to be very plausible.

Suddenly, Fang Xiaocao froze.

She quickly stood up and rushed to the table, snatching up a list that was there.

Her eyes swiftly scanned through the dense names on the paper.

Fang Xiaocao remembered seeing a somewhat familiar name on this list.

“Tom, check which company or group owns this hotel.”

As Fang Xiaocao searched her memory for that somewhat familiar name, she called out to Tom.

“Yes!”

Upon receiving her order, Tom replied and took out his compact laptop, fingers flying over the keyboard as he began looking up information about the hotel as instructed by Fang Xiaocao.

“Princess Your Highness, I’ve found it, this hotel is part of the Tang City Zhi Group’s properties.”

In a short while, Tom reported to Fang Xiaocao, looking at his computer screen.

“Just as I thought…”

Upon hearing this, Fang Xiaocao put down the list in her hand and murmured to herself.

She sat down again, picking up the list and searching according to the surname Zhi.

Soon, she found that familiar name.

Zhi Linfeng!

The decision-maker of the Zhi Group!

The father of Zhi Qi!

Tying this to the analysis that Tom had just given.

A horrifying thought began to echo in Fang Xiaocao’s mind.

“The Zhi Family…”

“Are they people from the blacklist?”

Fang Xiaocao murmured to herself.

“Tom, I think you’re right!”

“The hotel is likely a property of the blacklist and this list has the name of the Zhi Family’s decision-maker on it.”

“If this is a registration list for members or peripheral members of the blacklist, combined with your sharing, it all makes sense now.”

Fang Xiaocao shared her conjecture with Tom.

After listening to Fang Xiaocao, Tom pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, “Princess Your Highness, if that’s the case, then we’re in greater danger.”

“We’ll have to deal with it as it comes,”

“The blacklist won’t give up on the Zhi Group, their golden goose, just because of us.”

Fang Xiaocao folded the list and put it in her pocket before saying to Tom,

“Princess Your Highness, rest assured, as long as I am alive, no one will be able to harm you!”

Tom said in a deep voice,

“Mm, I trust you!”

Fang Xiaocao smiled and nodded.

Meanwhile, Xiaocao began contemplating in her heart that she needed to find suitable targets as soon as possible, to use hypnotism and develop a few capable subordinates like Tom.

After some thought, Xiaocao took out her cell phone, composed her findings and analysis into a message, and sent it to Hot Noodles via WeChat: “Follow this line of thought and check the relationship between the Zhi Group, Zhi Linfeng, and the Blacklist.”

[Hot Noodles: Ok, I’ll start checking right away.]

Hot Noodles quickly replied to the message.

“Let me know immediately when you have results!”

Fang Xiaocao replied to Hot Noodles with another WeChat message.

[Hot Noodles: Don’t worry, I’ll inform you as soon as I have anything. Now that we have a lead, it should be easy to investigate.]

[Hot Noodles: By the way, you and Tom will be attacked shortly, but as long as you are cautious, with Tom there, you shouldn’t be in any danger. Whether to evacuate or not is up to you.]

Seeing the message from Hot Noodles, a hint of understanding flashed in Xiaocao’s eyes.

“How many people are there, and what’s the armament situation?”

Even though Hot Noodles had said that, Xiaocao felt it was still wise to ask for precaution.

[Hot Noodles: Around a dozen people, equipped with daggers—it’s all cold weapons, no firearms!]

Hot Noodles quickly sent what Xiaocao wanted to know.

“OK, got it.”

Fang Xiaocao replied with a message and then put down her phone.

“Tom…”

“Thump thump thump…”

As soon as Xiaocao began to speak, there was a knock on their door.

Xiaocao and Tom exchanged glances.

Clenching a short-handled axe, they watched the door warily.

“It should be bedtime by now!”

The knocking stopped, and soon, there were whispers coming from outside the door.

“It’s so late, they should be asleep by now!”

Another voice came through.

“Swipe the room card, let’s go in!”

“Beep beep!”

Following that sound, the electronic lock on the door clicked twice.

With a “click,” the door was unlocked.

Fang Xiaocao and Tom held their breath, quietly stood up, and prepared for combat.

Xiaocao held a short-handled axe in one hand and several steel nails in the other.

According to the message from Hot Noodles, there were a dozen assassins outside the door. She was confident that with a few steel nails, she could halve their numbers.

Then, with her and Tom’s skills, a few assassins should be easy to deal with.

“Creak~”

The door was pushed open, and a sneaky figure slipped in from outside.

At this scene, Fang Xiaocao frowned.

She hadn’t expected the assassins to be so cautious, not all coming in together but sending only one person instead.

This was much smarter than those four bumbling assassins.

Tom looked at Xiaocao and, with his eyes, asked if they should strike.

Fang Xiaocao shook her head slightly, signaling Tom to wait.

Just one person, easy to handle.

But there were still a dozen or so outside.

Taking out this one would be tipping their hand too soon.

The assassin stood at the doorway, looking around for a while, not noticing Xiaocao and Tom hiding behind the sofa.

The assassin glanced at the tightly closed bedroom door and, seeing no lights on inside, whispered to those outside, “They’re asleep, coming in.”
