Glancing at the time it was obvious that there was still much left for the "warning" to end. She had no clue about his timings but she had a sense of where it was leading to. Reading a couple more articles and weibo posts the amount of additional reports kept rising and rising. None of them had more information but pretended to offer 'exclusive' news in the guise of increasing their TRP ratings. Some of them even created their own theories about the Su family and their intentions behind stealing the property. Closing everything down she stepped away from her computer, she enjoyed the gossip for a short while but her interest was fleeting. It would be a waste of her time to just wait for everything to happen, when it did she could check back in at that time.
Twiddling her fingers she leaned against the wall as she debated on what she should do next. It felt like her days were going by quickly and she wasn't actually accomplishing anything. Since the underground fight competition she hadn't properly worked out her body. She couldn't go back to her local gym since it was just yesterday when she beat that guy up. He was 300% looking for her and going there would be like offering herself on a platter. The only other place she could get in a proper workout would be at their base. Sighing, she exited the room and let it close behind her before turning back on the secondary security. Going back to her phone she opened it to see if she had any notifications - there were none. Her eyebrow raised as she saw her empty screen, it was outside of her calculation that Xi Long had not messaged her yet. It felt like an opportunity he would not leave behind to bother her. She didn't pay it much mind though, as soon as thought entered her head it left just as quickly. While he was a 'pineapple head' to her and a tyrant, he was still a CEO with multiple things to do. Jobs that high in power felt easy but she knew first hand the amount of details and tasks you had to be ahead of.

Managing an organization meant that you were responsible for people's livelihoods and families. So him not messaging her was both understandable and expected. Typing in a quick code she accessed the hidden part of her phone. The screen went black and reloaded to show a different display, clicking a small button in the corner the dark web appeared before her. The button was designed to open on a page where different targets were offered up as a job. Hitmans usually surfed through these hidden postings to earn their cash, assassins were both secretive so they had an organization behind them that dealt with the front end. So if you wanted an assassin to "take out" your target or whatever you had in mind, you had to put forth a request to the middle man. It was hard to know who to contact so many people would make posts on there in a way that specified they wanted an assassin. Either way, it was a breeding ground for monsters and the purest exchange of life for money. Ying Yue often went through these posts just to keep a track of the environment and if anyone she knew was on it. Not to say there wasn't a time where she looked for the postings to earn money but she never ended up taking one officially. The minute you got involved as a hitman professionally it was hard to increase or lower your visibility. Seeing nothing of interest she was speed reading through the pages until one caught her eye.
The post was harmless if you read it at face value but the wording is what made her look closer.
'Selling Qin Dynasty glassware, please message for more details."
'How suspicious.....' Usually posts on here followed a certain formula of requesting someone's assistance and would mention a certain location. For example:
Looking to rent a boat = Need someone to help them escape abroad
Requesting help fishing by the lake = Disposing of body in water
The wording was important, as if someone had just wrote "looking for someone to fish with" you could tell that it meant they had multiple targets or it was a job that needed you to act as a shadow. But it was rare for people to make posts of them selling something, it was the wrong part of the web for it. You could view it as a noob making an easy error but the experienced would view it as an intentional misplacement.
The clues in the post were "Qin Dynasty" and "Selling." It would mean that whatever deal was happening, there was a historical element to it. She was unsure if it was related to a human or item but the specificity of the time period was important. The selling portion of the post meant that they had what they wanted or maybe it was their way of offering their price? The way these minds think was hard to determine through a screen and the higher the opponent's IQ the harder for her to see through it. Her curiosity in the post kept rising as a couple of theories went through her mind but sadly there would be no answer. The person behind the post and what they wanted had nothing to do with her so the chances of finding out what it meant was nil. There were never updates on posting just deleted posts once they have been completed and only after months after the task happened. It was what they did to dissolve the connection between the request and the completion. The police were vigilant and tried their best to watch the dark web but the access to it was always changing. However, they had to do their due diligence to absolve all traces. A small laugh left her as she thought about the craziness of it all, the general public slept peacefully while there were people planning their deaths behind their back.
Exiting out of the web she returned her phone back to its original state and threw back onto her bed. "Enough of that, let's get this day started."
