The car soon arrived outside Longteng Hotel.
Longteng Hotel was the largest hotel chain in Summer Kingdom and also a property of the Ling Family.
Ye Bai was staying here, and Ling Weifeng was monitoring his every move.
Guided by hotel staff, the group saw Ye Bai in the hotel's rear garden.
Ye Bai was leisurely sipping red wine in the garden restaurant, completely unaware that danger was approaching.
"Let's go beat that kid up." Ling Weifeng waved his hand, and the street punks prepared to strike.
"Wait!" Lin Tai called out to stop them. Since getting out of the car, he had been scanning for Xiao Yuxuan's figure.
Lin Tai remembered that in the previous life's plot, Xiao Yuxuan was invited by Ye Bai and saw him and his group as soon as they got out.
In the end, Xiao Yuxuan came out to help Ye Bai, once again humiliating Lin Tai.
But this time, after looking around, Lin Tai found no trace of Xiao Yuxuan.
Ye Bai was also completely unguarded.
This was wrong!
Lin Tai immediately turned his gaze to Hecate beside him.
Had she... not informed Ye Bai yet?
What was going on with this heroine?
Along the way, Lin Tai kept talking to attract Ling Weifeng and the others' attention, giving Hecate plenty of chances to notify Ye Bai, worried she might not do it well.
How could she still not have notified him?
How could this top assassin mess up such a small matter?
Could she really only communicate with that one phone on her?
"What's up?" Ling Weifeng turned with a puzzled look.
"I need to pee, gotta use the restroom." Lin Tai said, needing to keep the plot intact and help Hecate out.
"Can't you wait until we're done beating them?" Ling Weifeng rolled his eyes, thinking it was no big deal.
"No, I'm in a hurry." Lin Tai didn't waste words and took his phone out, putting it in Hecate's hand. "Keep my phone for now. It's inconvenient for me to carry it in the restroom. The password is 123321. If there's a message, check it for me."
Lin Tai thought he had done all he could. If Hecate still failed to notify Ye Bai, he'd have nothing to say.
He turned and left without hesitation.
Ling Weifeng was dumbfounded by this move. What kind of operation was this?
If Hecate really was Ye Bai's spy, how could she avoid exposure?
But since Lin Tai trusted her unconditionally, what could Ling Weifeng say? He could only wait helplessly.
In a flash, Lin Tai returned after more than ten minutes.
"Finished?" Ling Weifeng asked irritably, feeling even more urgent.
"Yeah." Lin Tai nodded and looked at Hecate.
Hecate returned the phone to Lin Tai.
Lin Tai scanned around again for Xiao Yuxuan's figure but still saw nothing.
On the contrary, the unsuspecting Ye Bai was almost done and preparing to leave!
Damn, not following the original plot again!
Lin Tai's gaze almost pierced Hecate.
What kind of world's second assassin was this? Given so many chances, she still couldn't get the job done?
Lin Tai was furious.
What the heck? The heroines these days are crazy!
Hecate noticed Lin Tai's trusting look.
If it were the previous life, she had a hundred ways to inform Ye Bai, betraying Lin Tai's trust. But this time, she would never betray him again.
Not only that, she intended to use this chance to vent for Lin Tai!
"Rest assured, Young Master Lin, I will never betray your trust!" Hecate said sincerely.
"…" Betray your trust? Are you sick? I want you to betray my trust!
Lin Tai looked at Hecate's sincere eyes, furious and wanting to hit someone. This heroine was nuts!
So irritating!
"Then go!" Ling Weifeng gave Lin Tai no chance to reply and signaled the street punks to charge at Ye Bai.
Lin Tai watched nervously from behind. Damn, the plot was completely off track.
Helpless, Lin Tai followed. "Kid, listen up. Imperial Capital is my turf. Today you'll learn a lesson. Stay away from Shihan if you know what's good for you."
"???" Ye Bai looked around and saw Hecate in the crowd, his mind full of question marks.
Hecate had switched sides, so why was he surrounded, and why hadn't she sent any message?
He knew Hecate's skills; sending messages should be easy for her.
But so far, he hadn't received anything!
Of course, Ye Bai firmly believed Hecate wouldn't betray him. He could only assume she had no chance to send messages.
Absurd, but the most reliable explanation.
As for being surrounded?
He was calm. Except for Hecate, none of these street punks could match him.
Hecate wouldn't help Lin Tai; she might even take this chance to beat Lin Tai back for last night.
Thinking this, Ye Bai slowly rolled up his sleeves and gave Lin Tai the middle finger, perfectly showing his Protagonist style.
"Go! Beat him hard! If anything happens, I take responsibility!" Lin Tai waved his hand, and the street punks swarmed in.
Lin Tai thought to himself, he almost forgot Ye Bai was very skilled.
Though he hadn't fought him before, Lin Tai believed Ye Bai could withstand five moves from his men.
With system boosts, Lin Tai's understanding of martial arts was superb; surviving five moves from him meant world top level.
These street punks stood no chance against Ye Bai.
Hecate was surely just pretending, definitely wouldn't really attack Ye Bai.
As the Vicious Male Side Character, his persona was a weak fighter and no match for Ye Bai.
Hecate's plan was clever—she didn't notify Ye Bai, probably knowing Ye Bai's skill.
Unintentionally avenging Ye Bai without arousing suspicion from Lin Tai.
Truly brilliant, a real heroine role!
As for the original Xiao Yuxuan rescue... the plot was already a mess; her presence no longer mattered.
Of course, Lin Tai wouldn't get beaten.
Once the street punks were defeated, he planned to escape with Ling Weifeng.
This completed the plot, enriched his villain coward persona, and avoided punishment.
Killing three birds with one stone!
He smiled.
His admiration for Hecate grew; she really was a world top assassin, handling things beautifully!
Her sincere eyes earlier almost made Lin Tai think she was crazy too.
This little heroine's acting was pretty good, almost catching up to him.
