The factory wasn't very large in scale, but its facilities were well - equipped. The workers were busily going about their tasks in an orderly manner.
Shen Jianyi took a brief glance around and didn't notice anything amiss.
Could Xia Liang's investigation be wrong?
Just as she was about to leave, suddenly, intermittent voices drifted over. Hearing this voice, Shen Jianyi's face froze abruptly.
She turned around and quietly peeked inside the factory.
Two men emerged from the shadows.
"Be more cautious recently. If you spot any suspicious people, deal with them immediately," the middle - aged man in a black suit said in a deep voice.
But Shen Jianyi was extremely familiar with this voice. In fact, she had even talked to this person tonight.
It was none other than Lu Suowei!
"Yes, boss," replied a tall bodyguard standing beside Lu Suowei.
Lu Suowei nodded slightly. Thinking about how Shen Jianyi had suddenly brought up the topic of the chip at the Lu family tonight, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"Alright, you can go."
"Yes." The bodyguard responded. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly caught a glint of light from the corner of his eye.
"Who's there?!"
Shen Jianyi's heart skipped a beat. She hadn't expected the bodyguard to look up suddenly.
She quickly turned around and ran away. With a sudden leap from the factory building, she landed steadily on the opposite high - rise building.
"Stop!"
Behind her, the sound of hurried footsteps came closer, and there was also the faint barking of hunting dogs.
Shen Jianyi's face darkened. Without looking back, she continued running forward.
Fortunately, this was the suburbs, so she didn't have to worry about being seen.
The people behind were still in hot pursuit, and the distance was obviously getting closer.
Should she turn back?
The thought flashed through her mind but was quickly suppressed. If she turned back now, her identity would surely be exposed, and it would easily tip off the enemy.
She got distracted for a moment. Suddenly, she slipped and her body began to fall.
"Damn it!"
Shen Jianyi cursed. She barely managed to grab onto the outdoor air - conditioner unit on the residential building, thus avoiding being smashed into a pulp.
But due to this unexpected incident, the distance between her and the pursuers behind was getting closer.
Forget it.
Fight if it comes to that.
Shen Jianyi's face darkened. She used her strength to climb up with all her might. Just as she was about to reach the rooftop, suddenly, a hand reached out.
Shen Jianyi looked up and saw a masked face.
Why was he here?
The events tonight were getting weirder and weirder.
Shen Jianyi's heart sank. Glancing at the people who were almost at the foot of the residential building, she quickly made a decision.
She reached out her hand to GUN.
The man's hand was cold but very strong. He effortlessly pulled her up.
Shen Jianyi's legs went weak, and she directly fell into the man's arms. She clearly felt the man's body stiffen.
"Sorry."
Coming to her senses, Shen Jianyi immediately pushed him away.
Fortunately, she wasn't wearing a mask this time. GUN shouldn't recognize her. Otherwise, without a doubt, the two of them would have already been at each other's throats.
Just as she finished speaking, the footsteps were getting closer. Soon, more than a dozen bodyguards in black suits stood on the rooftop.
At the front was the same person who had been in front of Lu Suowei just now.
"Damn woman, where do you think you're going?"
The leader spat on the ground, his face looking sinister. "Go and grab this woman for me. Remember, keep her alive."
"Yes."
The bodyguards under him were eager to take action.
Shen Jianyi's face turned cold. Just as she was about to step forward, the man beside her suddenly reached out his hand to stop her and took a step forward himself, standing in front of Shen Jianyi.
"..."
What was GUN up to this time?
Shen Jianyi was completely confused. When had this man become so kind - hearted?
But she wouldn't forget how he had snatched her prey before!
Looking at the man with the strange mask in front of them, the leader wasn't sure who he was. The other bodyguards looked at each other.
One of them laughed. "Wearing a mask? Are you playing cosplay?"
The others also laughed.
But soon, they couldn't laugh anymore.
The man didn't say a word. He ran over extremely quickly, his figure drawing a beautiful arc in the night.
Before the leader could even see clearly, the man kicked him in the stomach. His body flew five meters away and slammed heavily into a flying bucket.
"Damn it, kill this cosplayer!"
The lackey who had just been shouting saw that the situation was bad and immediately shouted.
The others snapped out of their shock and rushed towards GUN in unison.
If one couldn't beat him, surely they, more than a dozen people, weren't afraid of just one man?
Shen Jianyi stood lazily to one side, with no intention of intervening.
With GUN's strength, these small fries were no match for him.
Sure enough, in less than five minutes, the lackeys who had been shouting just now were lying on the ground in disarray, groaning while covering their stomachs.
As for the masked man, there wasn't even a single footprint on his body. He stood upright like a pine tree.
"Boss, we can't beat him..."
The lackeys surrounded the bodyguard leader, looking at the man in the distance fearfully. Their feet involuntarily took steps backward, as if they were afraid that he would fly into a rage and kick them again.
The bodyguard leader gritted his teeth. That kick still had him in pain.
He glared at the man in front of him and Shen Jianyi behind him, and reluctantly said, "Let's go!"
The group scattered in a hurry. Like a whirlwind, the rooftop returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
Shen Jianyi looked at GUN suspiciously, trying to see something through his thick mask.
After all.
Everyone in the bounty - hunter circle knew that GUN was a mysterious, aloof, and enigmatic man. Why did he suddenly step in to save her?
It was unbelievable!
Did he have a good mood recently after making a fortune?
GUN also quietly looked at her. A flash of anger crossed his dark eyes.
Shen Jianyi keenly caught the strange emotion in his eyes.
Was he angry?
Not knowing what he was thinking, Shen Jianyi pursed her lips and didn't plan to stay any longer.
"Thanks."
Dropping these two words, Shen Jianyi turned around and left the rooftop.
This time, GUN didn't stop her.
Watching the graceful figure disappear on the rooftop, GUN took off his mask, revealing his extremely handsome face.
His thin lips were tightly pursed, and there was still anger on his face.
If he hadn't come tonight, she would have fallen off the building.
He didn't even dare to think about what would happen if she fell from the building.
This damned little woman!
...
Shen Jianyi climbed over the courtyard wall and nimbly climbed through the window. Just as she was about to take off her hat, she suddenly noticed something was wrong.
Lu Jinsheng wasn't in bed!
