When Shen Jianyi saw this mission, she was first extremely surprised, then found it rather ridiculous. She wondered who on earth could put a bounty on her head.
Doing the math, the only person who wanted to kill her and had the money to do so seemed to be Lu Ziqian.
Although Lin Zhirou had returned by now, the Lin family was already bankrupt. It was impossible for them to spend so much money just to buy her life.
Normally, the employer and the bounty hunter never meet. The bounty hunter just sends the photos to the employer after completing the mission, and both parties remain anonymous.
However, below this mission, it was clearly marked that the employer must meet the bounty hunter. There were many detailed things that needed to be explained face - to - face.
Shen Jianyi was really a bit curious, so she directly took the mission. Once the code - named Red Fox took this mission, others could only watch helplessly.
Two minutes later.
A message popped up on the back - end, sent by the employer.
[Hello, Red Fox. Tomorrow night at twelve o'clock, meet at the Youyuan Bar KTV at 337 Erong Road, private room 302. I'll be waiting for you there.]
Shen Jianyi simply replied with two words, then turned off her phone and got into bed.
This time, she was going to see clearly who this person was. It was quite a joke to want her life without knowing anything about her.
That night, Shen Jianyi tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep. Maybe it was because Lu Jinsheng hadn't come back all night. She had made many calls but no one answered, and the messages she sent received no reply.
Lu Jinsheng seemed to have vanished into thin air, disappearing without a word.
She admitted that she hadn't told Lu Jinsheng when she went out, but if Lu Jinsheng wanted to take revenge on her in such a clumsy way, it was really unnecessary.
It would only make Shen Jianyi worried and she wouldn't think of anything else.
At this moment, Shen Jianyi's mind was almost divided in half. One half was thinking about where Lu Jinsheng had gone, and the other half was concerned about how Gun was doing.
At this time, Gun had just woken up and saw Facai sitting on a chair staring at him. The first thing he did when he woke up was to check if his mask was still on.
Seeing his panicked look, Facai shook his head helplessly and amusingly. "Don't worry. Xia Liang told me not to take off your mask when she brought you here. Who on earth are you... Why do you always wear a mask? It's so mysterious."
He had also heard of a group of hunters who specialized in completing the employer's tasks to get rewards. These people were called bounty hunters.
These bounty hunters never showed their real faces in public, so Facai suspected that the man in front of him might be one of them.
"Are you a bounty hunter?"
Facai never kept things to himself. He always said what was on his mind. Facing his doubts, he didn't hesitate to voice them.
Gun frowned. His voice was hoarse. "Who brought me here?"
Seeing that he didn't answer his question, Facai didn't ask anymore. Instead, he drawled, "It was a friend of mine named Xia Liang. She brought you here and just told me to treat your injuries and not to take off your mask. Then she left."
Gun got out of bed with his tired body. He still felt extremely painful all over. The whip from Hongxiu had directly caused internal injuries.
"Thank you!"
He clasped his fists and opened the door to leave as if he were very familiar with the place.
Facai always felt something was wrong and quickly chased after him. Since Gun's injuries hadn't healed, he couldn't move very fast. Facai quickly blocked his way.
Looking at the tall man in front of him, he sized up his own body, rolled his eyes and pouted. "Xia Liang didn't pay the medical fees. Do you think I'm running a charity?"
Gun took out his phone from his pocket. For some reason, after seeing something on it, he suddenly became extremely anxious. Without bothering to pay the money, he directly left the research institute.
His speed was a hundred times faster than before. Facai stood there pitifully and punched the doorframe. He had really suffered a great loss.
Facai couldn't swallow this humiliation and immediately contacted Xia Liang.
"Xia Liang, who on earth is this person you brought here? He's just pretending with me!" He said indignantly, "He walked as slowly as a turtle before I asked him for money. As soon as I asked, he just flew away!"
Xia Liang was busy with her work at this time and didn't have time to talk to him. She just asked casually, "How much is it? I'll pay for him."
Just this one sentence directly hurt Facai's fragile heart. These two people were really heart - breaking.
...
At twelve o'clock at night.
A taxi stopped outside the KTV. The woman sitting in the back paid a red bill and got out of the car without waiting for the change.
She was wearing loose clothes. She reached out to pull down her hat, trying to cover her mask as much as possible.
Before she could enter, she was stepped on the foot by a man and a woman coming out. She stared at her just - cleaned shoes and frowned. If it weren't for the answers she really wanted to know inside, she would definitely argue with these two people.
But Shen Jianyi didn't want to argue with them. However, these two people started to get really aggressive. Especially the little woman in the man's arms. She was wearing an extremely short skirt and showing her waist. Her dressing style was very avant - garde.
"Can't you watch where you're going?"
The woman turned around and could hardly stand still. The high heels on her feet kept hitting the ground, looking as if she was about to fall at any moment.
Shen Jianyi ignored them. Just as she was about to push the door open, someone grabbed the doorknob.
The man pushed her aside. Maybe because of the alcohol, they became extremely unreasonable. The man came up, pointed at Shen Jianyi's face and started swearing. "Damn it, apologize to my little angel quickly, or I'll skin you alive today!"
Shen Jianyi let out a soft tsk. "After drinking a bit of alcohol, do you think you're invincible?"
Her voice was specially processed, and the tone was extremely sarcastic.
The man was enraged and raised his hand to hit her. But before his palm could land, Shen Jianyi directly grabbed his wrist with one hand and gave it a hard twist.
"Crunch ──"
The crisp sound of a bone breaking was particularly prominent outside the noisy KTV.
Immediately afterwards, there was the man's howl as he covered his wrist. The woman was so scared that she stepped back repeatedly and took out her phone to call the police.
But Shen Jianyi took a few steps forward. "Want to call the police?"
The phone slipped from the woman's hand and fell to the ground. She quickly picked it up and shook her head. "I won't..."
"It doesn't matter. If you want to call the police, I'll accompany you anytime. It's just... I'm afraid you won't be able to keep your job from now on!"
The woman's eyes were panicked and she rushed into the store.
Shen Jianyi then pushed the door open and went in.
