People in Douluo, the mastermind behind the scenes

It's early morning.

Just as Huo Yuhao was thinking about whether to escape from prison, the door of the solitary cell suddenly opened from the outside.

"My dear friend Zhao Zhi, after our extensive investigation, your stated identity has been confirmed. We are deeply sorry for the trouble we have caused you during this period."

As he spoke, Lan Fuzi handed a small black and gold card to Huo Yuhao. "This is the VIP card of the Di'ao Hotel. There are 100,000 gold soul coins pre-deposited in it. Just consider it as an apology to Zhao Xiaoyou."

Huo Yuhao took the VIP card in his hand and said nervously, "Commander, can I leave now?"

Lan Fuzi nodded and said, "Of course, it's okay, but it's getting late now and most hotels are already full. In order not to cause you unnecessary trouble, we have specially booked a room in the Di'ao Hotel and prepared a table of sumptuous dishes. Don't worry, all these expenses are paid by me, Lan Fuzi, and I will not use the 100,000 gold soul coins pre-deposited in your VIP card."

Huo Yuhao certainly didn't want to go, but... he could never bend the will of his opponent. As a down-and-out noble who came to Tiandou City for refuge, it was a bit too abnormal for him to not even give face to the commander of the Deep Sea Legion.

There was no other choice, Huo Yuhao could only move into the room prepared for him by Lan Fuzi.

Huo Yuhao still had some brains. He knew that after this incident, the original plan would definitely not be implemented, so he did not rashly go to Xu Yun's workplace to "accidentally meet" her.

After this incident, he would hang out outside during the day, go to the gathering places of the noble disciples to make friends, and return to the Dio Hotel to rest at night. After five days, after confirming that no one was secretly following him, Huo Yuhao went to the tavern in the alley.

In the private room on the second floor of the tavern.

Nightingale said apologetically: "I'm sorry, this is the negligence of our Nightingale team. We didn't find out the control of Ningyun Sect on outsiders..."

Huo Yuhao waved his hand and interrupted him hastily, “Alright, alright, now is not the time to shirk responsibility. Having missed the dance, it would be too deliberate for me to approach Xu Yun again. The original plan can no longer be implemented. We need to come up with a new plan.”

Hearing this, Nightingale nodded solemnly, then put her chin on one hand, looked out the window and fell into deep thought.

About a quarter of an hour later, Nightingale came back to her senses and slowly said, "Bai Yu is the head of the Deep Sea Corps' logistics department. Every month, there is a special person to summarize the Deep Sea Corps's consumption and hand the final list to Bai Yu."

"Bai Yu's status is too high, so we can't determine her whereabouts, but those soul masters who are qualified to take over the work with Bai Yu... although it's a bit troublesome, there is no possibility that we can't obtain the other party's whereabouts."

Huo Yuhao said thoughtfully: "Sister Nightingale, why did you implement this plan from the beginning? It is faster to find out the whereabouts of a small person than... asking me to seduce Xu Yun, right?"

Hearing this, Nightingale sighed and said helplessly: "Then let me ask you, if you want to assassinate a general, would you plan to assassinate him while he is in the army, or on his way home?"

Ah this...

Huo Yuhao scratched his head subconsciously, his embarrassment evident on his face.

This is only Nightingale. If it were Chen Yu or Mo Lian, they would have scolded them directly.

Nightingale said calmly: "Give us a day. You will come to get the information at this time tomorrow. After the information is delivered, the entire Nightingale team will leave Tiandou City through the emergency retreat route. The subsequent assassination mission will depend on you."

As she was talking, Nightingale suddenly stood up, reached out and patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder, revealing an expression that said, "I'm optimistic about you." ...

The next day, after Huo Yuhao received the information from Nightingale, he began to secretly follow the official who had some connections with Bai Yu.

Huo Yuhao was lucky. That afternoon, he followed the official to a manor outside Tiandou City. In the manor, he saw a woman in white - her name was Bai Yu, his assassination target.

“God is really helping me. Compared with Tiandou City, the guards in Zhuangzi are almost negligible. After I succeed, I will evacuate to the north, passing through the Far North, the North and South Douling, the Xingluo Empire, and finally reach the control area of ​​the Haoyue plane. Hehehe, I guess Zhu Ningyu would never have thought... that I, Huo Yuhao, would do the opposite, right?”

Huo Yuhao did not rush to assassinate Bai Yu, but found a corner to sit down and wait silently for dark.

The time comes at night.

It was almost dawn, but Bai Yu showed no signs of falling asleep. The room was still brightly lit. Under the light, Bai Yu's graceful figure was reflected on the window. It seemed that she was... processing documents?

High-level spirit masters can completely practice fasting for a short period of time. Take a spirit master who has just broken through to the Titled Douluo for example. Even if he does not sleep for seven days and seven nights, it will not affect his normal life. At most, he will look a little listless.

The plan to assassinate Bai Yu after he falls asleep is likely to fail. God knows... when Bai Yu will go to bed, and whether he will stay in the manor tomorrow.

"Can't wait any longer."

Huo Yuhao swallowed his saliva, then quietly sneaked into the room under the cover of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's original power.

The door to Bai Yu's room was half-open. Seeing this scene, Huo Yuhao almost laughed out loud. His unique luck was back.

Huo Yuhao didn’t understand that there must be something wrong when things are abnormal, so he quickly turned sideways and walked into the room quietly without touching any obstacles.

The moment he stepped into the room, Huo Yuhao felt his heart tremble, and an inexplicable sense of crisis instantly surged into his heart.

"Great God King Huo, now that you are here, why are you still standing there like an idiot? Come, have a cup of tea."

As he spoke, Bai Yu raised his arm and placed a cup of freshly brewed hot tea on the edge of the table.

At this moment Huo Yuhao didn’t dare to move at all. He didn’t know... what went wrong with him. The assassination plan was stillborn before it was officially implemented.

After a moment's silence, Huo Yuhao slowly collapsed to the ground as if all his strength had been drained away.

He lost, lost miserably. The people of Ningyun Sect were different from the villains he met in his previous life. Even if Huo Yuhao said a lot today, he could not escape death.

No, he is not doomed to die. As long as he can hold Bai Yu hostage and use Bai Yu's life to pave the way, he still has a chance to escape. (End of this chapter)
