The thing had already happened. He couldn't turn back the time, but he could prevent such a thing from happening again.

Freya pulled out the silver needles one by one. After confirming that Heize's high fever was gradually subsiding, she let out a sigh of relief, got up, and sat down beside Bradley.

"Heize's past experiences are not glorious. You could say he was involved in all sorts of shady business and even spent several years in prison. However, later he saw the error of his ways and returned to the right path. After that, those negative things about him were buried, and Heize also got a new identity. So the information you investigated is not complete."

Freya didn't want to talk about these things originally, but now that Heize was in danger, some things had to be said openly so that they could finally analyze why the killer came.

Was it for an old grudge, or was there another reason?

Bradley was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

But he quickly recovered and said, "Since it has been buried and Heize has a new identity, it shouldn't be for an old grudge. Moreover, the other party has very strong skills. It would be easy for them to kill Heize. But they just injured Heize and then left. Don't you think it's very strange?"

Freya seemed to suddenly think of something and said eagerly, "You mean, it was just a warning?"

"That's right."

Bradley expressed his thoughts. "Look at that notch opposite. It's as deep as a little finger. You can imagine how good the other party's marksmanship is. Even if they're not a professional sniper, they're definitely an expert with several years of experience using a gun."

"Also, think carefully about the injury on Heize's lower abdomen. It's just so coincidental that it was only an inch away from hitting the main artery. I guess the other party had already calculated it and left Heize alive."

"If it were for revenge, they could just shoot him dead directly. Why go to so much trouble to leave so many traces? Even if Heize has good skills, his speed can't be faster than a bullet."

Bradley made his analysis, and every point was reasonable.

The more Freya listened, the more she felt that it was extremely strange. Suddenly, she had an epiphany. "I understand. The other party left so many traces for us to see."

"Exactly." Bradley showed a bit of admiration in his eyes for Freya's cleverness. "On the surface, the other party seemed to want to kill Heize, but in fact, they were warning us."

These traces left a lot of clues. Ordinary people couldn't see them, but they couldn't escape Bradley's eyes.

The key was this bullet, which was engraved with a strange pattern. It wasn't something common and definitely not something that an ordinary person would have.

Freya's mood suddenly became solemn. If the killer wasn't after Heize, then were they after her and Bradley?

Bradley took her hand and said, "Don't worry. Since the other party has found Zexuan Studio, I'll send more people to protect this place and won't let this happen again."

As for where this bullet came from, he would ask Blue Book to investigate it thoroughly.

If it was really someone from Yuan Country, then the other party had already targeted them and was likely to attack the people around them again. He had to come up with a foolproof way to protect the people around him.

"Okay."

Freya leaned on the man's shoulder, but her heart was as heavy as if it were filled with lead.

Because Heize's condition was unstable, the two of them stayed to keep watch that night.

Bradley was worried that Freya wouldn't be able to take it, so he let her rest her head on his lap and he stayed awake until dawn.

Just then, Heize woke up.

He was startled when he saw the two people suddenly in the room.

"Mu... Mu... Bradley, why are you here?"

Heize was completely confused and directly called out Bradley's full name.

When he saw the change in the man's expression, he realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly corrected himself. "Mr. Mu, what brings you to my room so early in the morning?"

"If we weren't here, you would have gone to hell already." Bradley replied coldly.

He had come here in the middle of the night to save Heize, and now Heize was questioning why they were here, which made Bradley unhappy.

Heize's mind was a bit muddled. At this time, Freya was woken up by the voices. She opened her eyes and saw that Heize had woken up. She quickly got up from Bradley and immediately went to check Heize's condition.

After confirming that his high fever had subsided, she let out a big sigh of relief.

"Mr. Black, what exactly happened?"

Since the person was out of danger, now they needed to ask about the scene at that time. After all, Heize had fought with the other party and knew something about the other party.

Heize tried to sit up while holding his waist, but it pulled at the wound on his lower abdomen, and he let out cries of pain.

Freya quickly reminded him, "You're seriously injured. You can't move around these few days."

Heize lay back down again, his face covered in cold sweat from the pain.

After he recovered a bit, he said in a hoarse voice, "Right after you left yesterday, a killer suddenly rushed out from behind the curtain and pointed a gun at me. If it weren't for my skills, I would have been riddled with bullets already."

Bradley didn't have the patience to listen to this and directly interrupted, "Get to the point."

He just wanted to know the characteristics of the killer and whether the killer had said anything, so that he could judge the killer's identity.

"The point is, he wanted to kill me!"

The situation at that time was extremely dangerous. If he hadn't reacted quickly, that bullet wouldn't have hit his lower abdomen but would have directly blown his head off.

Heize still felt terrified when he thought about it.

He had changed his career for so many years. He shouldn't have any enemies coming after him!

"But you're not dead, are you?" Bradley's eyebrows were furrowed tightly, and his voice was even colder. "Did you see the other person's face?"

Heize was frustrated.

He was in such a state, and this man still couldn't say something nice?

But since Bradley was the boss of Xingguang and he still had to rely on Xingguang's resources to make money, he didn't dare to offend this powerful person. So he still answered seriously, "The person was all dressed in black and was wearing a mask. Besides, the situation was so urgent at that time. I had to run for my life. How could I have the time to look at what the other person looked like?"

"However, the other person was very fast. You could tell they were a well-trained killer. The key was that the mask was in the shape of a skull. If it weren't for the fact that the person was alive, I really would have thought a corpse had come back to life in broad daylight."

A skull mask?

Bradley thought carefully in his mind. Suddenly, his pupils constricted slightly.

He had heard before that there was a group of specially trained killers in Yuan Country who wore skull masks and were as fast as lightning. Anyone targeted by them couldn't escape alive.

Could it be that the person who assassinated Heize was really sent by Yuan Country?

The key was that the other party was a highly trained killer.

Thinking of this, Bradley's heart tensed up, and a sense of unease welled up inside him.

He wasn't sure how many killers were lurking in the capital city, but he was 100% sure that this killer was from the Skull Army of Yuan Country.

"Did the other party say anything?"
