Although it was night, there were still quite a few people at the hospital entrance.
Gun left only that one sentence and then disappeared before her eyes. Shen Jian frowned and hung her head. Somehow, she felt rather ill - at ease, as if she had betrayed Lu Jinsheng.
She shook her head like a rattle.
She didn't understand Gun's actions, but she was very clear about who was in her heart.
However, until now, Lu Jinsheng hadn't sent her a single message. She didn't know if she could see him at home tonight.
Shen Jian walked straight into the hospital. She registered for a consultation. There weren't many people seeing a doctor at the hospital at night, so she was soon called in.
The doctor temporarily arranged her in the consultation room. Although the wound was long, it wasn't serious enough for surgery, so the doctor planned to stitch it up here.
"Wait here for a while. I'll go and prepare."
The doctor pushed the door open and walked out. Now, Shen Jian was the only one left in the consultation room.
The atmosphere around was extremely quiet. She could even clearly hear the ticking of the minute - hand on the wall clock.
She sat there bored. The phone in her pocket vibrated. Shen Jian took it out and saw a message from Lu Jinsheng.
Lu Jinsheng: [I went on a business trip yesterday. It was so rushed that I didn't have time to message you.]
"..."
This dog man was really a pain! He had to go on a business trip right after returning to the company. She had never seen him go on a trip before. Shen Jian frowned. Didn't this message mean that he wouldn't be coming home tonight?
She sighed. Well, it was probably for the best. After all, she was injured now. It would be hard to explain to Lu Jinsheng if he saw the wound. Moreover, she had been on the wanted list for the past two days and was in danger at any time. She couldn't drag Lu Jinsheng into this.
Just as Shen Jian was in a daze.
The glass outside the door was smashed. The glass shards flew towards her. Fortunately, Shen Jian reacted in time and dodged them. Otherwise, if they had hit her face, it would have been more than just disfigurement.
A very curvy woman stood on the windowsill. She was dressed in a black leather suit and wore a bear - shaped mask.
Shen Jian's features were delicate, and there was no trace of emotion on her face. It seemed that Poison Mist was really powerful. She had managed to track her down so quickly.
The woman held a curved long knife in her hand and let out a "giggle" laugh. Then, she flashed from the windowsill in front of Shen Jian. Her speed was indeed very fast, but Shen Jian could still react.
The woman dodged to the side, avoiding Shen Jian's attack. The knife chopped down on the desk, splitting it in two.
"Who are you?"
Although Shen Jian knew very well who the woman was, she still pretended not to know. She felt that it was quite tiring.
The other party seemed to be surprised by her dodging speed, but quickly recovered and thought it was just a coincidence.
"The dead are not worthy of knowing my name." She said in a teasing tone and launched another attack.
Shen Jian dodged again. She couldn't reveal her fighting skills. If she fought back, the other party might find out her identity. So she could only keep dodging.
Poison Mist thought it was suspicious. "Shen Jian, you are indeed an extraordinary person. No wonder the employer hired so many people to assassinate you. However, an ordinary person is still just an ordinary person in the end."
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised the curved long knife with both hands above her head. Just then, a ray of moonlight shone in. Under the moonlight, the curved long knife glistened silver and came slashing down at an extremely fast speed.
At this moment, a dart suddenly flew in from the door. The dart disrupted her aim, and the knife hit the shelf beside.
Poison Mist quickly turned her head and looked towards the door.
The door of the consultation room was slowly pushed open, and the man wearing a white mask walked in.
Poison Mist frowned tightly and began to feel nervous. She pretended to be calm. "Gun, what are you doing?"
Gun didn't say much. He walked directly in front of Shen Jian and shielded her behind him.
"Poison Mist, I've taken this mission. You won't be able to kill her today."
She thought Gun was crazy. He could have taken other missions, but he had to snatch this one from her.
Poison Mist put away her long knife and hung it on one side of her waist. She tried to keep her tone calm. After all, the other person was ranked first, so she had to be cautious.
"Gun, the woman behind you is very agile. She was able to dodge my moves just now. She's definitely not an easy person to deal with. How about we join hands? We can split the reward evenly. What do you think?"
"No!" Gun refused without even thinking.
She clenched her fists tightly. Under the mask, the woman gritted her teeth, and her cheekbones trembled. "Do you really want to take the reward all for yourself? If Red Fox comes later, it will be even harder to compete. You'd better think it through."
Seeing her take a few steps forward, it was obvious that she wasn't going to let the prey go.
Gun lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear. "Run out now. I'll hold her back. Go to a place where you can get treated without being discovered."
If Shen Jian could reveal her fighting skills, she would have already knocked Poison Mist down. But now she could only flee in such a mess. It really gave her a headache.
While the two were talking, Shen Jian opened the door and ran. Poison Mist reacted quickly and wanted to chase after her, but the man in front blocked her way tightly.
Poison Mist thought Gun's actions were a bit too much. She took a deep breath, walked up to the man, and wanted to attack him. Her fist was already in front of his mask, just a few millimeters away from touching Gun, but she still withdrew her hand.
"Gun, I admit that I can't beat you, but I will complete this mission where you can't see."
She walked to the window, stepped on it, and half of her body was hanging in the air. "I hope you can think clearly about letting the prey go tonight. And I hope you'll do the right thing."
As soon as she finished speaking, Poison Mist jumped out of the window.
Gun also left.
Only after everyone had left did the doctor walk back unhurriedly. Seeing the open door of the consultation room, he immediately felt something was wrong.
When he took a look inside, he was really shocked. The consultation room was in a complete mess. He almost fainted from anger and immediately called the hospital director to report the incident.
On the other side.
As soon as Shen Jian left the hospital, she got into a taxi. The driver drove unhurriedly at a slow speed. Given Poison Mist's work ability, once she confirmed the target, she would catch up quickly.
Shen Jian was a bit anxious. She jumped from the back seat to the passenger seat. "Sir, let me drive. There's someone chasing me. You won't be able to shake them off!"
The driver was completely stunned, with a look of disbelief on his face. "Miss, have you had too much to drink? Do you need me to call your family to pick you up?"
