Shen Jianyi lowered her eyes and saw this scene.
She frowned, kicked Xu Wenji away with one foot, and said in a cold yet teasing voice, "Are you a dog?"
Xu Wenji didn't say a word.
She grabbed Gun's arm and led him away. The two disappeared from everyone's sight.
They found a relatively safe place. Shen Jianyi took off her mask, took the briefcase from his hand, and lowered her voice, "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Gun had nothing else to say and turned to leave. Suddenly, Shen Jianyi seemed to remember something. She looked up, her black eyes glinting. "Gun, who are you? Appearing beside me again and again, I can't help but be suspicious of you."
Hearing this, Gun suddenly lowered his head, stared at the woman in front of him, and gave a soft laugh. "Does it matter who I am?"
He turned to leave and left a sentence at last. "The identity of a bounty hunter must not be exposed. You'd better take care of yourself."
"..."
Shen Jianyi tilted her head and clicked her tongue. If it weren't for that mistake, how could Gun have seen her face? Now that she thought about it, it was really troublesome.
After the other person completely disappeared from sight, she opened the briefcase, hoping to find the chip she was looking for inside.
After opening it, she found that there was no chip at all. Instead, there was a note.
Shen Jianyi pinched the note with her slender fingers. There were a few clear words written on it:
[The chip has been decoded. Xu Wenji, return immediately.]
This sentence made Shen Jianyi a bit confused. It meant that Xu Wenji didn't steal the chip on his own initiative. There was someone else behind him.
There weren't many people in this world who could make Xu Wenji so obedient. Someone who knew the organization's secrets and was also rich and powerful...
The name Lu Suowei flashed through Shen Jianyi's mind, but she felt something was wrong. Lu Suowei was probably one of the deceived.
In this world, there were few people more powerful than the Lu family. It might involve the state. She shook her head. It still didn't seem right.
Shen Jianyi burned both the note and the briefcase. It was still early. She planned to go to school. She had skipped classes for several days without asking for leave.
She pulled down her cap, hailed a taxi at random, and headed for Tsinghua University.
As soon as she entered the college, she noticed that many people were casting strange looks at her. Although she was used to this feeling of being stared at, it was still very strange.
She braved it and walked straight towards the teaching building. At the corner of the stairs, she met Lan Xi.
It was really a narrow path for enemies. They had had an unpleasant fight over the venue before. Now that she hadn't rehearsed for several days, their performance would surely be inferior to that of the others.
Lan Xi was wearing a pure white spaghetti - strap long dress. She straightened her body and blocked in front of Shen Jianyi, as if deliberately doing so. Shen Jianyi wanted to bypass her. She didn't want to look for trouble. It was really unnecessary to argue with such a person.
But the other person didn't think so. Lan Xi's voice was clear and bright. "Stop."
Shen Jianyi didn't respond or pay any attention to her.
Lan Xi was ignored. There were so many students in the corridor. She felt annoyed. She took a few steps forward and grabbed Shen Jianyi's hair.
Immediately, the pain shot through her scalp. The wound on her forehead from yesterday hadn't healed yet, and now there was another troublemaker.
Shen Jianyi didn't turn back. She swung her arm backward to shake off Lan Xi's arm, and then turned around unhurriedly.
Lan Xi folded her arms and looked smug. "Shen Jianyi, I told you to stop just now, but you didn't listen. You only behaved yourself after I took action, right?"
"What do you want?" Shen Jianyi was expressionless. Her eyelids drooped coldly. When she looked at the other person, there was a hint of killing intent in her eyes. "I'll remember what you did just now when you grabbed my hair."
She wasn't a vengeful person. She usually avenged herself on the spot. But now there were too many people in the school. It was inconvenient for her to take action.
Moreover, Shen Jianyi came to study psychology, not to play house with these girls with negative IQ.
Lan Xi pressed on step by step until she stepped on Shen Jianyi's pure white sneakers. Then she looked up provocatively. "You're vengeful. I heard that your play has stopped rehearsing. What's wrong? We gave the dance classroom to you, but you don't know how to cherish it at all?"
"You're crazy." Shen Jianyi was too lazy to talk to her. She took two steps back and turned to leave. "If you keep blocking me, don't blame me for being rude."
She had just taken two steps when Lan Xi shouted, "I heard that the young mistress of the Lu family got her position through improper means and even had an affair with an employee of her own company."
Lan Xi covered her mouth and laughed. The students around were all attracted. She was quite bold. "What was the name of that little model... It seems to be Shen Jiayu. It's really pitiful──"
Before she could finish her words, Shen Jianyi had already appeared in front of her. Her slender wrist tightly grasped Lan Xi's neck.
The people around were startled and quickly made way. Some people had already gone to find the principal.
Lan Xi was being choked and could hardly breathe. She gasped for air and struggled constantly, but the other person's strength was too great. She couldn't break free at all.
She twisted her body. Her fair little face was now pinched red. The veins on her face stood out, and her almond eyes were about to pop out.
But Shen Jianyi was like nothing had happened, showing no emotional fluctuations. "Lan Xi, for the sake of you being a girl, I didn't want to argue with you. But you've gone too far, haven't you?"
She kept shouting in a hoarse voice, but it was all in vain.
"Jianyi!"
It wasn't until a clear and crisp girl's voice echoed in her ear that Shen Jianyi let go.
She frowned slightly, with the corners of her eyes drooping. Looking at Lan Xi who was sitting on the ground crying, Shen Jianyi didn't feel any guilt. She even felt a bit annoyed that she hadn't let her choke to death.
If it were in the past, Shen Jianyi would surely have made her life a living hell. No one could put pressure on her again and again.
Lan Xi was helped up by Lu Yuan who rushed over. There was a hint of worry on her innocent face. "Are you okay?"
She shook off Lu Yuan's hand. Her throat hurt so much that she couldn't speak.
"Get off!"
Lan Xi passed by Shen Jianyi. Her voice was hoarse, and she said with difficulty, "Shen Jianyi, I won't let you go. Just wait."
The corner of Shen Jianyi's light - pink lips curled up. "Okay, I'll be waiting."
Watching Lan Xi flee in a hurry, she thought it was extremely ridiculous. She was just a weakling who could only vent her anger by talking big.
Shen Jianyi wanted to go back to the classroom to study and make up for the psychology knowledge she hadn't learned in the previous period.
She was just about to leave when Lu Yuan trotted after her, reached out and took her arm. The two were very close. Lu Yuan whispered a reminder, "Sister - in - law, you'd better be more careful recently."
"Huh?" She looked at Lu Yuan in confusion.
But the other person acted as if she had never said anything and smiled. "Come back home and live."
