Behind the tree.
A man was furtively peering inside. He tightly clutched a dagger in one hand, fearing any unexpected incident.
However—
The more you fear something, the faster it comes.
"Who are you?"
A person had appeared behind him at some unknown time. If the person hadn't spoken, he might not have noticed until now.
The man whirled around abruptly, his back against the tree. Holding the dagger with both hands, his whole body trembled.
It was because he saw this spine-chilling man—Gun, the number one on the bounty hunter ranking list.
He didn't understand why this man had come after him. He had neither killed anyone nor committed arson, and no one in the underworld envied him. Who on earth had put a bounty on his head?
"Gun? Are... are you here for me?" he stammered.
Actually, when Lu Jinsheng saw the man's face, he was a bit shocked too, but he quickly regained his composure.
The trembling man standing in front of him was his younger half - brother, Lu Weiran, who was also one of the factors that led to the car accident.
It seemed that Lu Weiran was determined to be an enemy of Shen Jianyi. He wondered what feud there was between the two that could make Lu Weiran go to such lengths.
Well, now he could use the identity of Gun to ask some questions. Just this identity alone was enough to make Lu Weiran's legs go weak and almost collapse to the ground.
He thought that with such courage, Lu Weiran still wanted to assassinate Shen Jianyi? He was really underestimating her.
"What are you lurking here for?" Lu Jinsheng's voice was specially modulated.
Hearing the question, Lu Weiran stammered, "I... I'm here to find someone."
"Who?"
"Shen Jianyi..."
Hearing him spitting out one word at a time, Lu Jinsheng gradually grew impatient. He grabbed the man by the collar with one hand and almost lifted him up.
"Can't you speak in a complete sentence? Tell me the whole story."
For Lu Weiran, the man in front of him was the famous Gun. Everyone knew his legends. If he didn't tell the truth, he would surely be in big trouble.
So, with a wandering look in his eyes and a weak voice, Lu Weiran said, "I want to kill Shen Jianyi. She didn't die in the last car accident. It was because she pushed my father off the boat. Without her, I wouldn't have to live such a tiring life!"
Hearing this, Lu Jinsheng let go of his hand, and the man was thrown to the ground.
It seemed that someone had deliberately bewitched him and told Lu Weiran some false information. But who could it be...
Lu Jinsheng looked at the man on the ground again. His thin lips were pursed into a straight line, and a coldness permeated the air around him. "Who told you that?"
Facing the man's continuous interrogation, Lu Weiran was really scared. His mental endurance was low, and now he was completely broken.
"It's Lu... Lu Ziqian!"
At that moment, Lu Jinsheng verified his suspicion. The man's eyebrows under the mask frowned slightly, but he quickly returned to his normal expression.
He slowly squatted in front of Lu Weiran and whispered in his ear, "I see. You can sleep peacefully now."
"What... what do you mean?"
Lu Jinsheng sneered, "When you wake up, go to the police station and confess all your crimes. Otherwise, I'll come for your life sooner or later."
Of course, this was just a threat. Lu Jinsheng wouldn't really do anything to this useless cousin.
Without waiting for the man's reaction, he struck the man's neck with a chop of his hand, and the man fainted immediately.
The crucial thing was that the place where he fainted was really close to the main entrance of the laboratory. Lu Jinsheng originally wanted to move the man away, but then he thought it was unnecessary.
It was because there was some noise inside the house, as if someone was about to come out.
...
Room 1303, Baihua Community.
The woman lying on the ground gradually came out of the drug's effect. She opened her bleary eyes and squinted at the whole room.
She had forgotten how she had fainted. Hongxiu got up from the ground and looked at her swollen neck. The feeling was just like the time when she was injected with anesthetic in Manduo Sea—
Anesthetic?!
Hongxiu immediately remembered that when she went to open the door, there were two men wearing black masks outside. Before she could even ask who they were, she blacked out.
She turned her head and saw that her takeout on the table had been opened. Anger burned in her heart. Who was so immoral? Not only did they knock her out, but they also didn't spare her takeout!
Just then, she noticed that the bounty hunter's clothes on the sofa were gone. Which heartless person could do such a thing!
Hongxiu had never been so speechless. A shadow of a woman flashed through her mind.
That woman had constantly provoked her. It was very likely that Shen Jianyi had done all this. Hongxiu guessed that they must be in Facai's laboratory.
She could guess this not by luck but because Hongxiu often followed Shen Jianyi and had a perfect understanding of her movements.
So, she opened the wardrobe and saw a whole row of clown costumes. She randomly picked one, put it on, and was about to go out.
If Shen Jianyi wasn't eliminated, her hatred would never be appeased!
...
Facing the approaching danger.
Shen Jianyi was still completely unaware. She took some more magic pills from Facai and planned to use them later. There was still Lu Jinsheng waiting for her at home.
She was about to leave. Xia Liang insisted on sending her home, and Shen Jianyi didn't refuse her kindness.
The two pushed open the door of the laboratory. Xia Liang was just about to go and start the car when she turned her head and saw a man lying behind the big tree next to the garage.
"What's that?" she asked in confusion.
Facai also came out to join in the fun. When he saw that scene, he opened his eyes wide and rushed over in a hurry. "Damn it, don't tell me he's trying to extort money from me. I have to drag this guy farther away!"
Shen Jianyi: "..."
She stood at this angle and looked over. The man looked familiar, but it was a bit far away and she couldn't see clearly.
Anyway, they were going to get in the car. Why not go over and take a look.
When she got closer and saw the man's whole face, the man's appearance made her tremble slightly, but it was not obvious. Even Xia Liang, who was the closest, didn't notice.
"This is Lu Weiran, one of the factors that caused the car accident."
As soon as she finished speaking, Facai got excited. He rolled up his sleeves and stared at the man on the ground with wide eyes.
Then, he directly grabbed the man's two feet and dragged him towards the back mountain without saying a word.
To get to the back mountain, they had to pass a not - very - deep pit. At first, the two of them thought that Facai would carry the man over it, but the next scene really made Xia Liang burst out laughing.
They saw him exert a little force and directly throw the man into the pit, even adding a sound effect himself: "Whoosh—"
After Facai finished, he clapped the dirt off his hands, folded his arms, and said in disgust, "Get out of here!"
