"How is that possible?"
Liu Ying clearly didn't believe it. After all, it had been made public at that time. How could Lin Enjin still be alive?
Xiao Wu didn't know the reason either, but he just had a very strong hunch.
"Maybe she was imprisoned by someone. It's hard to say. That's why the news was released..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Lu Jinsheng interrupted him directly. "It's impossible."
Even if Lu Ziqian was a scoundrel, he wouldn't do such a crazy thing.
Xiao Wu still didn't know who the person in front of him was and what he was here for. He frowned slightly and lifted his chin. "Who on earth are you? What are you here for?"
Hearing this, Lu Jinsheng answered his question. Anyway, he had asked all he needed to. He still didn't know what was going on with these two people.
"My mission is..."
Liu Ying looked at him nervously, eager to know if she could leave here alive.
She wasn't afraid of death, but she was afraid of facing Lin Enjin.
"To let you and Xiao Wu leave here." Lu Jinsheng couldn't bear to knock them out and send them away. "Pack your things and go abroad. Never come back."
Liu Ying clenched her fists. She immediately guessed who the employer was. "Did Lu Ziqian send you?"
"It's none of your business."
Lu Jinsheng didn't have the time to waste here with her.
After all, he didn't know what was going on with Shen Jianyi.
So he had to hurry up and not waste a single second.
"What if I don't want to leave?" Liu Ying just wanted to stay. She wanted to find out the real reason for Lin Enjin's death. "I want to avenge Enjin."
Hearing this, Lu Jinsheng snorted. What could she find out? How could she deal with Lu Ziqian?
He shifted his gaze to Xiao Wu, thinking that this man was more rational and might be easier to talk to.
Sure enough, Xiao Wu thought the same way.
"Madam, let's leave with me."
The three childhood friends had all changed over the years. The old friendship might have faded away.
Lin Enjin was dead. Liu Ying had married the well - known playboy director Liu in the entertainment industry. And he... in order to uphold the old friendship, he had chosen to be her bodyguard.
Actually, Xiao Wu had always had feelings for Liu Ying, but he knew he wasn't good enough for her.
Many times, Xiao Wu had wanted to take Liu Ying away, but he could never say the words.
This was a great opportunity. If he didn't seize it, he might never have a chance with Liu Ying again.
Obviously, the man in front of them was determined to complete his mission. He stood there like a carnivorous animal in the tropical rainforest waiting for its prey.
Just his presence gave people a feeling of ferocity and inaccessibility.
"I don't want to repeat myself," Lu Jinsheng said haughtily. "If I still see you in Shanghai tomorrow, I'll have to solve this my own way."
By then, no one could tell where Liu Ying would end up abroad.
"For the sake of you telling me about Lin Enjin, I'll give you one night to think about it."
The main reason was that Lu Jinsheng wanted to go and check on Shen Jianyi quickly. He didn't want to waste any time.
...
On the other side.
Shen Jianyi had already pinned Hongxiu to the ground and handcuffed her.
Hongxiu struggled, but the woman held her down firmly. "Don't move. I won't hurt you."
"Red Fox, I really don't understand. We're both here on a mission. Why are you stopping me?"
She stood up and looked at the woman kneeling on the ground. Under the mask, her face was expressionless, with a cold glint in her eyes.
"It's none of your business."
Hongxiu clenched her fists. She looked up at the woman, wanting to ask her many questions.
"Was it you who wore my clothes and returned to the research institute?" She knew everything, but she never had the chance to ask. "Why did the professor arrest you? Was it really because of the chip?"
For some reason, Shen Jianyi thought Hongxiu was smarter than the people in the research institute. She had her own thoughts and wasn't completely brainwashed by Zhou Sang.
Maybe it was because she had joined halfway. After all, all the other members had been trained from a young age, so they obeyed Zhou Sang's orders absolutely.
Shen Jianyi snorted and didn't want to answer these questions.
At this moment, it was completely silent outside.
In the dark night, the moonlight barely shone down a cold silver light, scattered on the ground.
Hongxiu was still waiting for her answer.
But obviously, the woman's mind was elsewhere. She stared intently in the direction of the villa, as if waiting for someone.
Just then, a figure flashed through Hongxiu's mind - a person in black clothes with a pure - white mask covering their real face.
"You're really interesting," she sneered. "The bounty isn't just for one person. You don't have to hold me here and let Gun complete the mission."
Maybe Hongxiu was too annoying. After they stopped fighting, her mouth never stopped.
It was hard to imagine that a slender and gentle - looking girl could be so talkative in private, and also be so ruthless. It was completely different from her appearance.
Shen Jianyi frowned tightly, feeling annoyed as she heard the endless chatter in her ear. She glanced at the other person impatiently.
Just this one glance, she noticed.
Hongxiu had ripped the handcuffs open. She stood up and stood beside Shen Jianyi.
"Tell me the truth. Is the chip really not with you?" She thought this woman was a bit pitiful.
Shen Jianyi turned her head. Her tone was completely flat, as if this matter had long been unimportant to her.
"No. It's never been with me."
That kid Xu Wenji had framed her for a long time. Shen Jianyi was already used to taking the blame.
Hongxiu clenched her fists. "Damn it. If it wasn't you, why don't you explain it clearly? The whole research institute is looking for you. You should know that Sam has become a professional thug now."
"So what?"
"Aren't you afraid he'll come after you?" Hongxiu really couldn't understand. "Just explain it clearly, won't you?"
For a moment, Shen Jianyi thought this girl was too naive. She shook her head helplessly and was too lazy to answer.
But unexpectedly, Hongxiu got even more persistent. She walked in front of Shen Jianyi and blocked her view, forcing her to look at herself.
"I'll help you explain!"
"We're not familiar. There's no need for you to help me." Shen Jianyi was still cold. She had never thought of making friends with this person, and she didn't want to owe her a favor.
