Although Shen Jianyi had intercepted this matter halfway, the news still leaked out.
Early the next morning, the news of "Mrs. Lu having a private meeting with a model under her company" topped the Weibo hot searches.
As soon as Shen Jianyi opened Weibo, she saw that the comment section was flooded with the fans of Shen Jiayu.
[I'm done with her. She's still so unfaithful after getting married.]
[Are Lu Jinsheng and Shen Jiayu both blind? How could they fall for such a promiscuous woman?]
[Just waiting for the Lu family to kick Shen Jianyi out.]
Shen Jianyi casually glanced at the content below, then calmly tossed her phone aside. She took out another phone and quickly scanned the bounty hunter list from last night.
Not long after she entered the bounty hunter system, someone sent her a message.
"Firefox, the four of us are planning to discuss how to hunt down Gun tonight. Wanna join us?"
The message was sent by one of the hunters participating in this hunt for Gun, named Sen.
He was one of the fastest - rising bounty hunters in the past two years, and his momentum was approaching the top three.
After thinking for a while, Shen Jianyi agreed.
When Lu Jinsheng got home, Shen Jianyi was already gone.
"Where's Mrs. Lu?"
Sister Gu greeted him. Seeing Lu Jinsheng's obviously bad complexion, she answered timidly, "Mrs. Lu answered a phone call and then went out. She didn't say where she was going."
Are these two newlyweds arguing?
Lu Jinsheng tugged at his tie and called Shen Jianyi.
On the other end of the phone, there was a noisy music sound.
"Where are you?"
Shen Jianyi walked towards the restroom, away from the noisy dance floor.
"In a bar."
"When will you be back?"
Hearing the stiffness in Lu Jinsheng's tone, Shen Jianyi pulled down her baseball cap. "Within an hour."
"I'll send a car to pick you up."
"What's going on?"
Lu Jinsheng rarely kept such a close eye on her. Shen Jianyi asked in surprise.
"Reporters are looking for you everywhere."
His tone softened a bit.
When he left the Lu Corporation today, he had already encountered several waves of reporters asking about the relationship between Shen Jianyi and Shen Jiayu.
If she was alone outside and ran into those pesky reporters again, it would be hard for her to deal with them.
"Okay, I'm at the Riverside Bar. Come in an hour."
Glancing at the private room in the corner, Shen Jianyi answered in a hurry, then hung up the phone. She took out a mask from her bag and put it on her face. She tucked her long black hair into her hat and entered the private room.
In the smoky private room, there were four people. They were the four bounty hunters participating in this hunt for Gun.
They all wore masks on their faces, making it hard to see their features, but their whole bodies exuded an intimidating aura.
"Is everyone here?"
The one who organized this meeting was Sen.
Shen Jianyi looked in the direction of the voice. In the corner sofa, there sat a man in a white shirt. He wore a half - mask on his face, making it impossible to see his real face.
"Just get to the point. We'd better kill Gun as soon as possible. After we deal with him, I can retire for good."
A bearded man said gruffly. There was a deep scar on his face, and his big hands were full of calluses. He looked like a well - trained fighter.
He was the man ranked seventh on the list, with the nickname "Tiger".
After saying that, Tiger looked at Shen Jianyi and sneered sarcastically. "I really didn't expect you, Firefox, to come to our meeting. But since you're here, why are you still wearing a mask so secretly? Are you shy, little girl?"
She looked so gentle and weak. Could it be that she used some shady "means" to complete her missions?
Shen Jianyi crossed her legs. Under the mask, her cold eyes glanced at Tiger. "I'm as ugly as you. I'm afraid of scaring people."
"What the hell did you say?"
Tiger slapped the table and stood up abruptly. "A little girl. I don't know what means you used to get to the second place. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
"What means? Why don't you just try and find out?"
Shen Jianyi smiled casually, not taking the irate man in front of her seriously at all.
"I think you're looking for death."
Sure enough, Tiger was enraged. He clenched his fists and was about to teach Shen Jianyi a lesson.
Sen quickly stepped in to mediate. "That's enough. Don't forget the main thing. Firefox, you're the one ranked second only to Gun on the bounty hunter list. What do you think about this mission?"
"Thoughts?"
Shen Jianyi scoffed and played with the dagger in her hand. "Sure. I'll handle it alone. I'll take all the 2 billion. How about that?"
Sen didn't expect her to say such a thing. His body froze slightly.
"Firefox, are you joking?"
"Whether I'm joking or not, you know better than me. The four of you are just a burden to me. I came here today just to tell you that we can cooperate, but you four need to follow my command. I'll take 1 billion, and the remaining 1 billion is up to you—"
"Bullshit. You want 50% for yourself? I think I should take 50%. The remaining 1 billion, you can divide it among yourselves."
Tiger shouted angrily.
The other two also expressed their dissatisfaction.
"I've been investigating Gun's whereabouts. Logically speaking, without me, you wouldn't be able to complete the mission at all."
"I should take the lion's share. After all, which man doesn't love beauty? I can handle it alone."
The woman who spoke had an extremely hot figure. As she spoke, she crossed her legs, showing her smooth, jade - like thighs. She was extremely charming.
The private room suddenly became lively. In this supposed cooperation meeting, no one was willing to yield to the others.
A faint smile flashed across Shen Jianyi's face.
It seemed that her plan to sow discord had been half - successful.
Otherwise, the possibility of her defeating the four of them alone would be extremely slim.
Gun, you saved my life once. Now I'm returning the favor.
In the end, this meeting didn't come to any conclusion. Instead, everyone exposed their own ambitions, all wanting to take the lion's share.
"Alright, we can discuss this matter after we deal with Gun. Gun must be deliberately hiding his whereabouts now that he knows he's a wanted target. The most important thing for us now is to find out his movements. Hawk Eye, do you have any ideas?"
Sen looked at the man wearing an eagle mask beside him.
Hawk Eye was the bounty hunter most skilled at tracking and investigation.
Hawk Eye casually raised his hand and made an "OK" gesture. "Three days. Leave it to me."
"Alright. We'll contact each other when it's time to take action."
Shen Jianyi checked the time. She estimated that Lu Jinsheng would send someone over soon. She stood up, waved her hand, and left the private room.
No one dared to stop her. They just let her leave.
Shen Jianyi didn't rush out. She went into the restroom, changed her clothes, took off the mask on her face, and returned to her usual appearance.
Her long black hair fell loose. She carried her schoolbag and walked out.
She had only taken a few steps when Shen Jiayu suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Jianyi, why are you here too?"
Shen Jianyi raised her eyebrows. "Why are you here?"
Shen Jiayu scratched his head and smiled shyly. "The last play received a good response, so the company held a celebration banquet for me."
Just as he was speaking, Lu Jinsheng's voice rang out from behind.
