After a long silence.
Shen Jianyi turned around and looked down at the man lying on the ground. He was seriously injured because of her. The lash didn't just hurt the skin and flesh; it went deep into the bones.
But now she didn't know where to take Gun. It seemed that nowhere was the right place.
She thought for a moment and came up with the foolproof solution.
"Xia Liang, please take him to Facai," she lowered her eyes, a complex look flashing in them. "Tell Facai he can treat the wounds, but don't take off his mask. This might be his last wish."
Although Xia Liang didn't understand what this meant, she still did as she was told.
Xia Liang stared at the surveillance cameras around. Several silver needles flew out from the electronic watch on her wrist and destroyed all the cameras.
Next, Xia Liang had an even more important task to do, which was to sneak into the railway station's monitoring room and destroy all the surveillance footage.
"I'll handle the rest. Master, you should go back quickly. You're seriously injured," Xia Liang said.
Looking into the girl's clear, bright and determined eyes, Shen Jianyi couldn't bring herself to say the words to take her away. She couldn't keep dragging Xia Liang down.
"Thank you."
As soon as the words left her lips, Shen Jianyi disappeared into the long night.
Apart from the unconscious people at the railway station, only Xia Liang was left standing there. She took a deep breath and turned to enter the security room.
The night was alluring. Shen Jianyi endured the sharp pain in her body and darted through the darkness.
She was seriously injured but moved at an extremely fast speed. The night owls only felt something dart past, but they couldn't tell whether it was a person or something else.
Shen Jianyi climbed over the wall and returned to the villa. Looking at the extinguished bedroom light, she hesitated for a moment and finally jumped in through the window.
She wanted to feel her way to the bathroom slowly and wipe off all the bloodstains on her body with a wet towel.
A ray of moonlight shone through the French window onto the floor. Shen Jianyi turned her head and noticed that there was no one in the bed.
Her body tensed up like a taut string. She became even more cautious. If Lu Jinsheng wasn't asleep, where could he be...
The light in the living room was also off. If Lu Jinsheng had fallen asleep in the living room, Uncle Li would surely have given her a heads - up. She was completely puzzled.
Shen Jianyi carefully opened the bedroom door and looked down the corridor. The TV in the living room was still playing music, but the sofa was empty.
Just as she was about to conclude that Lu Jinsheng wasn't in the villa and was going back to rest, the side door suddenly opened, and a woman walked out. She was limping and holding her waist as she walked out.
Shen Jianyi stood there watching. Maybe because the light was too dim, neither of them could see the other clearly.
"Who's there?"
As soon as the woman spoke, Shen Jianyi recognized her as Sister Gu. She must have been knocked unconscious and just woken up.
Looking at her own disheveled appearance, with wounds on the verge of infection and covered in bloodstains, how could she answer?
Sister Gu seemed suspicious when the person didn't answer. She secretly took out her phone from her pocket. The moment she turned on the flashlight, Shen Jianyi quickly put on her mask to avoid being recognized.
In Sister Gu's eyes, there was a dirty, blood - covered woman with an indistinguishable face standing at the end of the corridor.
"Aaaaaahhh──"
A heart - rending scream shattered the silence of the night. Sounds came from the doors of other rooms. Sister Gu's scream had woken up all the servants.
Taking advantage of Sister Gu dropping her phone, Shen Jianyi slipped back into the room and locked the door.
Everyone came out. Seeing Sister Gu struggling on the ground, Song Miner, with her messy hair, asked sleepily, "Sister Gu, what happened?"
Sister Gu seemed crazy to them. She pointed in one direction and mumbled something that was inaudible.
"Uncle Li, what should we do?"
Uncle Li had been in the villa for a long time. In this situation, it was up to him to make a decision.
He looked in that direction and saw nothing. After much thought, he came up with the only reasonable explanation.
"She must be sleep - walking. Don't wake her up, or she'll go crazy," Uncle Li said as he picked her up. "I'll take her back. You all go back to rest."
Sister Gu, who had just woken up not long ago, fainted again from the scare.
Shen Jianyi heard everything they said. She let out a sigh of relief. As long as they didn't suspect her, it was fine.
It wasn't safe for her to turn on the light as it could be seen from outside. For safety's sake, Shen Jianyi chose to wash herself in the dark, with only the weak light from her phone.
Shen Jianyi took a cold shower quickly. Looking at the wound on her arm, she frowned tightly. She took out a first - aid kit from the cabinet and bandaged herself.
The moment the alcohol touched the wound, the pain was like thousands of ants biting at her heart. Sweat beaded on Shen Jianyi's forehead. She gritted her teeth so hard that even her cheekbones trembled.
The wound was very long, almost stretching from the top of her arm to her elbow. If not treated properly, it might leave a scar.
She looked at the wound in the mirror. Fortunately, it wasn't deep; otherwise, it would be a lifelong mark.
After taking care of everything, Shen Jianyi lay down on the bed. She reached into the cabinet and took out another phone. She saw that no one dared to take on the task of assassinating Gun.
On the forum, many hunters were discussing this matter.
[Even Hongxiu failed. Several top - ranked hunters went together but still couldn't defeat Gun. It's obvious that no one can complete this task.]
[Maybe Honghu can, but didn't someone spread the rumor that Honghu and Gun are lovers? Maybe they joined hands last night to fight the five - man hunting team.]
[This would be a powerful alliance. If so, our good days are over. We won't be able to get good tasks in the future.]
Looking at these funny comments, Shen Jianyi curled her red lips. She found them extremely interesting. Just as she was about to close the phone, a task popped up.
Tasks like this usually meant that the employer had specifically named a hunter to participate. Of course, the hunter could also choose to ignore it.
Shen Jianyi was quite curious. What kind of big shot could make the employer name the top five hunters to participate? Hunters ranked lower didn't have this qualification.
Moreover, the reward for this task was extremely high, a full eight - digit number. Since Gun was seriously injured, he definitely couldn't take on the task. It seemed that this eight - digit reward would be hers.
She clicked on the task and scrolled down until her eyes locked on the name at the bottom.
The target of this assassination task was──Shen Jianyi.
