A year passed without any news. In those days, communication was not well developed, and Ding Yan's mother could no longer bear it. She took Ding Yan and went to Aodao.
However, when they arrived at the Ding Family, they discovered that Ding Yan's father had already remarried, and his new wife was the daughter of another prominent family in Aodao. Upon seeing the unexpected arrival of Ding Yan and her mother, Ding Yan's father pretended not to recognize them and ordered his men to chase them away.
Despairing, Ding Yan's mother left the Ding Family with her young daughter. At that time, Aodao was rife with gang activity. As a foreign beauty with a child, Ding Yan's mother quickly fell victim to street thugs. No one paid attention to little Ding Yan; her father denied her, and her mother was taken away. Alone on the streets of Aodao, she cried until she was eventually picked up by a couple from Huaxia.
However, this Huaxia couple did not intend to adopt her; instead, they sold her. At just over four years old, Ding Yan was passed around until she was taken by members of the Black Sky Assassins Organization and enrolled in their training camp for assassins. She remained there until she turned eighteen, learning various killing skills. Afterward, she spent a few years shadowing an assassin before finally becoming an A-level assassin herself.
Ding Yan's background was indeed tragic. Her father was still alive and had become a respected figure in Huaxia and Aodao society. The last time Ding Yan attended a party in Aodao, she encountered him. She heard that he had been divorced several times and that his current wife was younger than she was. When they met, although Ding Yan recognized him, he did not recognize his own daughter.
Ding Yan had thought about killing him but ultimately restrained herself. Since then, she made it a point to visit Aodao almost every year, primarily to search for her mother's whereabouts. However, after twenty years of searching in a vast sea of people, finding her mother felt like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Now, her mother had become the only concern and regret in Ding Yan's heart. If only she could find her mother—no matter what had happened—her heart would finally be at peace.
As for why Ding Yan was being hunted down, this reason surprised Jiang Chen even more. A month ago, Ding Yan received an assignment to assassinate an American. Assassins typically do not question the reasons behind their contracts; it is simply part of their code. So when Ding Yan received this assignment, she proceeded as usual to carry out the assassination.
An A-level contract indicated that the target posed no significant threat. For someone like Ding Yan now, an A-level assignment was manageable. However, what she did not expect was that this seemingly ordinary A-level contract would plunge her into chaos. She could no longer stay in the United States and had to seek refuge in Huaxia.
The target of this assignment was a freelance journalist. During the assassination attempt, the journalist's wife and daughter suddenly appeared. Seeing the harmonious family—especially the adorable little girl—made Ding Yan hesitate and ultimately decide against the kill.
In that little girl, she saw a reflection of her own childhood. Although she was an assassin, her heart had not completely turned to stone. She did not want that little girl to lose her father. At the same time, she found it strange that this journalist posed no real threat; even a C-level assassin would have sufficed for someone so ordinary.
Curious about him, Ding Yan disguised herself to approach the journalist. Just as they were getting acquainted, another assassin shot him in the chest. Shocked, Ding Yan rushed forward as the journalist told her about an online storage account and password before he died.
