However, Qin Fang soon realized he had thought too simplistically again; this beautiful assassin named Xiao Xiao was truly an unorthodox, atypical assassin, drastically different from the usual.

"Xiao Xiao, since you're back, shouldn't you visit home? Your mom misses you a lot..."

Sun Shu sat down, not in a hurry to order food, but queried in a quite amiable and sincere manner, and even his words carried a hint of pleading.

Indeed, once he said this, Qin Fang was immediately rendered speechless... he even faintly felt that he might have targeted the wrong person.

The profession of this beauty was indeed that of an assassin, but it seemed she had just come home to visit family, not specifically for a mission.

Although the Assassin's Alliance assigned cleaning missions based on the operating regions of the assassins, generally assassins wouldn't take on missions in their hometowns—it was too risky as enemies could easily target them, and one misstep could endanger their entire family...

Of course, most assassins are lone individuals with no family attachments; those who had families were mostly retired or semi-retired and generally would not take on missions anymore.

Yet, this girl was an exception; it seemed her family was still around, which made it even more unlikely that she had come specifically for this mission. Even to avoid suspicion, a typical assassin might forgo such a high-point cleaning mission.

Points and money are important, but when compared to one's life and family safety, they are inconsequential.

"Please don't associate her with me, she isn't my mom..."

As Qin Fang struggled with the food on his plate, planning to finish quickly and bolt back to the hotel to wait for other peers, Xiao Xiao's tone turned sharp, almost to the point of anger.

"Alas..."

Hearing this, Sun Shu's face darkened slightly, and he could only sigh helplessly, clearly indicating there was some complicated story involved.

Even as an outsider, Qin Fang could sense this, and he also faintly felt Xiao Xiao's mood becoming restless...

Such a discovery immediately piqued Qin Fang's interest, and he seized the opportunity to employ the Mind Reading Technique on Xiao Xiao.

Even though it was highly unethical to pry into a stranger's privacy, to clarify whether this beautiful assassin was here for the cleaning mission, he had to do so.

If she was here for that, Qin Fang would continue to watch her.

But if not, Qin Fang would naturally finish his meal and leave to continue searching for clues... He had already wasted much of the morning and was a step behind; any more delay, and he would truly miss the chance and have to pass this high-reward mission to someone else.

No sooner had Qin Fang deployed the Mind Reading Technique than he sensed the innermost thoughts of the beautiful assassin, but he immediately became alert and lowered his head to casually deal with the food on his plate.

An assassin's perception is extremely sharp, even such minute changes in mental state can make them highly sensitive. Thus, the moment Qin Fang used the Mind Reading Technique, the slightly agitated Xiao Xiao became wary, her mind tensed, and her eyes quickly scanned the surroundings.

But the result was obviously disappointing for her; everything around was calm. There were not many customers in the Western restaurant, everyone was naturally dining or talking, nothing unusual or anyone suspicious appeared...

In the end, she could only return her somewhat doubtful gaze to normal, but her vigilance remained high, and Qin Fang could not use the Mind Reading Technique on her a second time.

The Mind Reading Technique is an instant skill, meaning it can only detect the target's current thoughts... To fully understand all about a target would require a longer period of probing.

But human memory is a fascinating thing; it may last only a brief second, yet the amount of information it contains can be vast, so vast that not even a supercomputer might manage to process it...

Usually, thoughts are rather straightforward, and with the fleeting time, only minimal information can be detected.

This was the case for Qin Fang; he had barely touched on the assassin's slight thought when she noticed him.

A killer's willpower is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and unless they relax their minds themselves, it is difficult for others to force them to—even under torture, they maintain their will unbowed.

The girl was alert, and Qin Fang lost his chance to probe again, but he wasn't at all disappointed, in fact, there was a slight sense of relief.

It might have been only a brief few milliseconds of probing, having gleaned merely a fragment of information, yet Qin Fang was quite pleased, as he coincidentally found out that this beautiful assassin was also one of the killers assigned to clean Sinan.

Qin Fang had this judgment because while the girl seemed to resent her mother verbally, her thoughts were about not wanting to endanger her family... because someone was extremely dangerous!
