"Boom!"
Suddenly, a wild gust of wind swept past the woman, making her clothes flutter in the wind.
Up until now, Shen Jianyi still couldn't snap out of her shock. Staring at the all - too - familiar face in front of her, she finally understood.
It turned out that the reason Lu Jinsheng had never suspected her during all those times she went out was that he had always been right by her side. Thinking about it further, even the ring and the injured spots were almost identical.
Shen Jianyi's gaze gradually returned to calm, and her surprise subsided. She was acting as normal as could be.
"Yiyi, I didn't mean to hide this from you," Lu Jinsheng took two steps forward and reached out his hand, trying to grab hers. "I just wanted to protect you secretly. There were many things you didn't want to share with Lu Jinsheng, so I appeared beside you as Gun."
Hearing this, Shen Jianyi felt a pang of sourness in her heart, as if someone had squeezed her heart.
Watching the man approaching step by step, she tried to keep a distance from him. This kind of thing would take some time to come to terms with.
However, Shen Jianyi knew that she had also hidden her identity as a bounty hunter from him. Maybe he had already forgotten, or perhaps he didn't care.
In any case, Shen Jianyi couldn't calmly accept this revelation.
The gale continued, and a deafening sound roared in her ears.
Then, the woman turned around and saw a private plane hovering in the sky.
A rope was lowered from above and stopped right in front of Shen Jianyi. She reached out and grabbed it. With both of them exerting force, she managed to board the plane in a few moves.
"Master, who's that down there?" Xia Liang couldn't see clearly from this height. She only knew it was a man. "Should we still rescue him?"
Looking at Lu Jinsheng standing there alone, she suddenly remembered that sentence.
[Maybe we won't see each other again.]
It seemed that she and Gun really wouldn't meet again. This identity seemed to have disappeared forever. For some reason, her heart felt a bit sour.
After all, Gun had accompanied her through so much. She had thought he was a separate individual, but unexpectedly, he was just a persona, an alter - ego of someone.
"Master?" Xia Liang interrupted her thoughts.
Only then did she come back to her senses. She frowned slightly and drooped her eyelids. "Of course we should rescue him."
As soon as the words left her mouth, Xia Liang immediately lowered the rope. The man looked at the rope, hesitating whether to grab it and whether to climb up...
Revealing his identity to her at that moment was indeed an unwise choice, but at that time, there seemed to be no other way. Who would have known that she would be so obsessed with his real face and keep trying to take off his mask?
In the end, Lu Jinsheng reached out and grabbed the rope. He easily climbed onto the private plane.
The moment he got on, he and Xia Liang stared at each other in surprise.
Xia Liang didn't react at first. She even thought she was having a hallucination. She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, but found that it wasn't a hallucination. The person in front of her was real.
She opened her mouth wide. "You're... Lu Jinsheng?!"
Now that his identity was completely exposed to the two of them, he didn't bother to explain. There was no need to hide anything anymore.
Lu Jinsheng replied generously, "Yes, I'm Gun, the number one bounty hunter."
Hearing this, Xia Liang had a strange thought. She clapped her hands, making a crisp sound. "I get it. You're the one who always snatched jobs from my master, right?"
"Master?"
In his memory, Xia Liang and Shen Jianyi were good friends. This address of "master" really confused him.
Only then did Xia Liang realize that she had said something she shouldn't have. She nervously glanced at Shen Jianyi beside her, trying to seek help from her.
However, at this moment, Shen Jianyi wasn't paying attention at all. She didn't hear a single word they said.
To avoid the awkward situation, Xia Liang decided to turn off the autopilot and fly the private plane back herself.
After she left, only the two of them were left.
Lu Jinsheng wanted to go up and talk to her, but the woman remained silent, staring blankly in one direction.
"Yiyi, I really didn't mean to hide this from you," Lu Jinsheng still tried to explain. "I snatched your bounty before because I didn't know that Red Fox was you."
Actually, this wasn't a big deal to Shen Jianyi. She just felt like a clown.
Lu Jinsheng had clearly known all along but pretended not to. He watched her perform in front of him. She guessed that Lu Jinsheng must have thought she was a fool.
However, Shen Jianyi was quite curious about one thing. When she called him in Manduo Sea, it was clearly Lu Jinsheng who answered the phone, and Gun was also beside her at that time. How could this be?
"What about the phone call that time?" Shen Jianyi didn't hesitate and asked straightforwardly.
Lu Jinsheng replied seriously, "I recorded the phone call in advance. I had already guessed what you would ask."
"So that's how it is..."
The man knew her so well. No wonder no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't surpass Gun and become the number one on the leaderboard. It turned out that the number one was this annoying man!
She really didn't know whether she should be angry or express other emotions.
After a few minutes of silence.
Shen Jianyi suddenly said, "Forget it. I just need some time to calm down."
She definitely couldn't accept this all at once, but after a short while, she would surely be able to face it calmly. She couldn't be so emotional in such a dangerous situation.
Lu Jinsheng just stared at the woman.
The two of them were sitting on one side of the private plane. He leaned back and looked out of the window. At this moment, the sun was slowly rising. The sunrise was no less beautiful than the sunset.
"Yiyi, look!" Lu Jinsheng pointed out of the window. "This is the first sunrise we've watched together."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Shen Jianyi looked out of the window. At the moment of sunrise, the sky around them was dyed a pale red, and the sun was level with the horizon.
Suddenly, the whole world was bathed in light. The sunrise was short but beautiful. In just a few minutes, night had turned into day.
Shen Jianyi took a deep breath and turned to look at the man beside her. All the coldness in her eyes disappeared, and at this moment, she was gentler than usual.
"Lu Jinsheng, thank you for protecting me like this!"
A smile curved Lu Jinsheng's lips. His voice was gentle. "Protecting you is what I should do. The identity of Gun has changed from a hunter to someone who only protects you. Later on, I don't need this identity anymore. I can be by your side openly."
