"He's quite lucky. He didn't die. The professor took him to the hospital. Now he's lying in the ICU. Sam and Vivian are watching over him," Xia Liang sniffed and whispered.
As she spoke, she glared fiercely at Lu Jinsheng.
It was a silent declaration: See? Your wife trusts me. Why are you so mean to me?
The man beside her still stared at her expressionlessly. His piercing eyes sent a chill down Xia Liang's spine.
"Master, what should we do now? The professor said you betrayed the team and has expelled you. Now the communicator doesn't work either," Xia Liang was like an ant on a hot pan, extremely anxious and restless.
Moreover, the one who got into trouble was her master, whom she always relied on. She was completely at a loss.
"Wait and see," Shen Jianyi thought for a moment and said these four words.
"I'm in the Lu family now. The professor and the others can't do anything to me. As for Xu Wenji, I need you to keep an eye on his actions. Besides Xu Wenji, also pay attention to Sam and Vivian..."
"You suspect there's actually an accomplice of Xu Wenji in our organization?!" Xia Liang immediately understood and exclaimed in surprise.
"Only a few of us were involved in the research at that time. Now Xu Wenji suddenly insists it's me. I guess someone among us must have colluded with Xu Wenji."
As for who it was, she didn't know yet.
But how dare they use her?
Very well.
A glint of hostility flashed across Shen Jianyi's eyes.
"Got it, master. You should take good care of your injuries," Xia Liang looked at the bandages on her body with heartache, and tears welled up in her eyes again.
"Don't cry. Before we figure out this matter, don't come to the Lu family for the time being, or the professor and the others may get suspicious."
"Okay."
"Then I'll get the medicine for your grandfather. I'll ask Lu Jinsheng to find someone to give it to you. Don't worry."
Hearing that Shen Jianyi was still concerned about her grandfather's illness even though she was injured, Xia Liang pouted, with tears in her eyes. "Master... Wuwuwu, how could they do this and even injure you..."
Shen Jianyi: "... Lu Jinsheng, take her away."
She was injured, not dying!
If Xia Liang kept crying like this, she would go to heaven the next second.
Lu Jinsheng immediately walked over, grabbed Xia Liang's collar, and coldly spat out a word: "Go."
"Master, I'll come to see you after the matter is resolved. Master, take good care of yourself!"
Even through the door, Shen Jianyi could still hear Xia Liang calling outside.
Shen Jianyi's heart gradually warmed up.
Fortunately, there were still two people who trusted her unconditionally by her side.
As for those who used her...
Shen Jianyi narrowed her eyes dangerously, exuding a menacing aura.
At night.
A man in a white T - shirt walked out of the convenience store. His extremely exotic face looked even more profound under the street lamp.
Sam hummed a song, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it skillfully.
Suddenly, he paused and didn't head towards the hotel. Instead, he walked into a secluded alley.
There were no lights. It was pitch - black, and occasionally there were a few shrill meows from an unknown place.
When he reached the depths of the alley, Sam took a deep puff of his cigarette, threw it on the ground, and stamped it out.
His blue eyes looked up at the night sky. "Friend, how long are you going to hide?"
Under the dark night, on the roof of a bungalow, there stood a tall figure, almost blending in with the night.
The mask on his face covered his features. Only his pair of eyes were cold and chilling.
He leaped down and landed steadily about ten meters away from Sam.
Seeing the man's attire, a look of surprise flashed across Sam's face.
Was he on the wanted list?
Otherwise, why would Gun come after him?
"Gun, who ranks first on the bounty list?" Sam asked uncertainly, full of doubts in his heart.
The man's eyes under the mask sparkled, cold as if they were made of ten - thousand - year ice.
Feeling the man's hostility, a cold sweat broke out on Sam's back.
The professor once wanted to recruit this Gun into Tianji, but this man was elusive. The team had spent so many years but still couldn't find a single trace of him.
But why did this man suddenly target him?
"Friend, I have no grudges with you. I don't think I've offended anyone. Who put me on the wanted list?" Sam forced a smile and said casually. "Well, how much did the person who posted the bounty offer? I'll pay double. Okay?"
He thought he was quite good at kung - fu, but this man named Gun had unfathomable strength.
He didn't want to fight a battle without certainty and go head - to - head with the opponent.
However.
A soft male voice came from under the mask.
"Personal grudge. No bargaining."
Personal grudge?
Damn personal grudge.
Sam's expression froze.
When did he ever provoke this big shot?
Just as he was thinking, the man opposite him suddenly rushed towards him like a ghost.
Sam couldn't dodge in time and was punched hard in the ribs.
A sharp pain hit him, and he knelt on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood with a "puff".
More than the physical pain, he was extremely surprised.
So fast!
After that, the man almost unilaterally crushed him.
He seemed to be filled with boundless anger. Every punch landed on Sam's face and body, but he deliberately avoided hitting his vital parts.
It was just like a cat playing with a mouse.
In the end, Sam was exhausted and lying in the garbage heap, covered in peels and paper scraps, with a banana peel on his head.
When had he ever suffered such humiliation? His eyes glared at the man in front of him, almost spitting fire.
"Who on earth is it?!" he asked hoarsely, enduring the pain.
If he knew who had sent Gun to attack him, he would surely skin that person alive!
At this moment.
Shen Jianyi, who was lying in bed eating a red velvet cake, suddenly sneezed.
Was the air - conditioner set too cold?
Shen Jianyi looked at the air - conditioner in wonder.
24 degrees. It wasn't low.
She rubbed her nose and called in Sister Gu.
"Why hasn't Lu Jinsheng come back yet?"
It was strange. It was already twelve o'clock. Usually, Lu Jinsheng would have come back early.
"The young master said he still had something to deal with and asked you to go to bed first," Sister Gu said with a smile and carefully took the cake box from Shen Jianyi's hand.
These days of recuperating had completely spoiled Shen Jianyi.
She had food served to her mouth and clothes put on her body. If she hadn't refused, Lu Jinsheng and Sister Gu might even have helped her go to the toilet.
"Okay, then I'll wait for him to come back," Shen Jianyi wiped her mouth.
"Madam, you'd better go to bed first. You're a patient now—"
"You have to rest well, or your injury won't heal. Right?" Shen Jianyi interrupted Sister Gu before she could finish, repeating Sister Gu's catchphrase.
These days, she had heard these words so many times that not only could she recite them, but her ears were almost numb.
