Shen Jianyi injected a dose of medicine into Hongxiu, which would keep her in a coma for a full 24 hours.
On the day of the auction.
Shen Jianyi arrived at the auction hall early. They still entered with the invitation letters. She reached out and handed over her invitation letter. The waiter glanced at it and coughed lightly when he saw Shen Jianyi.
"Miss, in view of your assault on our staff yesterday, your auction qualification has been cancelled today."
Hearing this, Shen Jianyi's eyes were filled with complex emotions. When she looked up again, the icy chill almost shot out of her eyes.
The waiter took two steps back. Just thinking about the sorry state of his colleague when he returned last night still sent shivers down his spine.
Seeing his obvious backward movement, Shen Jianyi said coldly, "What did you just say?"
She clenched her fist and raised it to her chest. Seeing this, the waiter twitched the corner of his mouth. "Miss, please don't make things difficult for me. This is a rule from above. You really can't go in."
The waiter was just following the instructions from above to stop her. Even if he wanted to let this woman in, he would be the one to take the blame if his superiors investigated.
It seemed that Shen Jianyi realized this and didn't intend to make things difficult anymore. But others could go in.
Shen Jianyi watched as Gun didn't hesitate to hand over his invitation letter to the waiter.
"Sir, you can go in."
At that time, Shen Jianyi was standing there watching. Clearly, the two of them had assaulted the staff together last night. Why was she the only one left outside? This was simply too unfair.
Just as Gun was about to walk in, he suddenly turned around and glanced at the woman left outside.
Although he was wearing a mask and his face couldn't be seen, Shen Jianyi could still feel the mockery from him.
"Gun!" Shen Jianyi shouted at him. Then she watched as he walked in without looking back. He was so heartless at that moment.
Watching people constantly walking into the auction hall while she was the only one left standing outside, Shen Jianyi didn't know why, but there was a sense of frustration in her heart.
She thought there might be others who hadn't come in yet because there were definitely more invitation letters in the car.
Shen Jianyi turned around and planned to intercept someone at the corner and then snatch her invitation letter so that she could go in.
Although this method was simple and crude, and a bit inappropriate, it was the only way to get in for now.
The woman squatted in the flower bed in the corner and waited. She was wearing a loose black casual suit. She reached out and pulled down her cap to cover her mask.
Just then, she suddenly felt a sound of footsteps behind her. Shen Jianyi immediately became vigilant. She tightly grasped the dagger in her hand. She didn't know who was coming from behind.
In this place, danger could come at any time. She coughed lightly and felt a weight on her shoulder.
She turned her head sharply, and the dagger swept through the air, forming a beautiful arc.
When she saw the person behind her, she was immediately stunned.
The man behind her was wearing a black suit. Half of his pale mask had been cut off by her, revealing only his chin and lower lip.
Her heart trembled violently. The man immediately turned his head and took out a new mask from somewhere. He quickly put it on and then turned back.
"Red Fox, you're really ruthless. If I hadn't dodged just now, my chin might have been cut off."
Shen Jianyi then put down the dagger and let out a sigh of relief. "Why did you come out?"
She clearly saw Gun enter the auction hall, but now he was standing behind her.
"How could I leave you alone outside?" Even when Gun smiled, his tone remained cold. "We're in a cooperative relationship."
This so - called cooperative relationship was what had pulled him out of the auction hall.
Since no one else was coming for the moment, they could only wait here.
Shen Jianyi looked away boredly. "Gun, since you already know my identity, why don't you want to tell me yours?"
Hearing this, Gun was obviously stunned for a moment. He didn't answer but just sat beside the woman and listened.
She continued, "You're quite similar to someone I know. If I hadn't called to confirm, I might really have thought you were him."
Hearing this, Gun let out a soft sneer. "Is he very important to you?"
"Of course," Shen Jianyi raised her head. "Sometimes I wonder what would happen if I were an ordinary person. Maybe our relationship wouldn't be so complicated."
At this point, Shen Jianyi closed her mouth. She felt she had said too much. These words had been hidden deep in her heart, and hardly anyone in the world knew them.
Gun reached out and touched his mask. He seemed to have an impulse to take it off. Shen Jianyi was also quite looking forward to it. She was just waiting to see what the face under the mask looked like.
However, just as he was about to take off the mask, he put it back on.
"A bounty hunter never reveals his true face." Gun's tone was as calm as usual. "It was just an accident that I saw your face last time. If I hadn't given you a new mask, many people would have recognized you."
Well, anyway, Gun was only focused on his tasks. Even if he knew what she looked like, he probably wouldn't tell anyone.
"Gun, I ──" Before Shen Jianyi could finish her sentence, she saw a man and a woman walking towards them hand in hand. They were probably a couple.
It wasn't hard to guess who the famous couple in the business circle was. The son of a business tycoon and the daughter of the Bai family. They were childhood sweethearts and had been engaged since childhood.
Later, they were a perfect match. They took over the company at a young age. People had thought they were the clean stream in the business circle, but unexpectedly, they had also come to this place.
Shen Jianyi nodded towards them. "We've found our target."
Lu Jinsheng immediately understood what she meant. The two of them walked over unhurriedly.
The couple was still chatting and laughing, unaware that danger was approaching.
There was a corner just as they were about to enter the auction hall. Few people would notice this corner, but it was a necessary passage. So, this was also the best time for them to take action.
Shen Jianyi stared at them hungrily. Just as the two of them were getting closer and she was about to take action, the man reached out and pulled her back.
Just as Shen Jianyi was about to step forward to question him, she saw Gun grab one person with each hand and drag them into the dim corner.
