"Stop!"
Shi Wan grabbed Gong Qi's hand. "I need to place a new mission. The content is to protect us."
Once a mercenary group takes on a mission, they can't back out. However, they have another rule: they can't take on a new mission until the previous one is completed.
But apart from this method, there's no better one. Fighting would only lead to a lose - lose situation.
Hearing this, the friend of Zha Yuan couldn't help laughing. "My mission isn't completed yet. You..."
"Okay!"
The man who didn't finish his words: "......?"
What the hell?
Originally, he thought that even if they couldn't get the USB drive today, they would at least keep it here. If they didn't give it to them, then no one could have it.
"You're being untrustworthy!"
"Throw this man out and settle the mission."
Everyone: "......?"
Could it be done like this?
But why only throw Gong Qi out?
Gong Qi's face remained unchanged. "Then I'll leave on my own."
"Si Yu, later..."
"Throw the man out!"
Shi Wan said coldly, "Don't go too far. Otherwise, what's wrong with a lose - lose situation?"
The man opened his mouth, and his face changed in just a second. He looked at her warily and didn't care about Gong Qi anymore.
"Wait... We'll return the USB drive to you. Let's just forget about today's matter, okay?"
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the man's legs went weak and he knelt down.
"Oh... What do you think?"
She looked at Zha Yuan, who was at a loss.
Zha Yuan was extremely flustered and couldn't say a word for a long time. "I..."
"Since you don't know either, then... Cripple him."
The last three words were said casually, as if asking about the weather today.
Zha Yuan and the others' faces changed drastically!
"No, no! Miss Si, please forgive us. We were wrong!"
"Didn't I give you a chance just now? You didn't cherish it yourself."
She calmly withdrew her gaze. The dagger she was playing with in her hand fell and accurately stabbed the man's hand.
"Ah—"
The man rolled on the ground in pain, sweating profusely.
"Sorry, I have a bit of muscle weakness and didn't hold it steady."
She picked up the dagger and smiled innocently.
The man standing beside couldn't help looking at her several times. Birds of a feather flock together. She was ruthless!
She didn't show any mercy when doing things. In this way, the young master would have less to worry about in the future.
As soon as the door of the private room opened, a smell of blood and stench hit them instantly.
"Si Yu, is it taken care of?"
"It's taken care of."
She smelled the blood on her body and frowned in disgust.
"I'll transfer the commission to you."
"Boss, this woman just broke the rules."
After the two left, a subordinate beside the man asked in a low voice.
"The rules are for some people, not for her."
Especially the young master's rules.
"Why? But there can be no good order without rules..."
"Stop talking. Throw that man out. We've also completed the mission. It's reasonable for us to take on a new one. Moreover, do you really want to have a lose - lose situation with her? Instead of being so naive, it's better to give her a favor."
In the future, the young master would have to kneel on durians less often.
The subordinate didn't know why he could always hear a sense of relief from the boss's words.
...
Just as Shi Wan was about to go home, Gong Qi's car drove over.
"Come on. Go to my place first." Gong Qi poked his head out. "You can't go back so late with the smell of blood all over you and get close to him, right?"
"No, it's inconvenient so late at night."
She didn't want any unnecessary misunderstandings.
Gong Qi didn't say much. "Then take care of yourself."
Shi Wan took a taxi to her own house. After taking a shower, she thought about going back.
At Wanfeng Manor.
"Got it."
Shen Siyan hung up the phone. His face was already extremely gloomy.
She went to Gong Qi's place?
And they shook hands?
Was he being too lenient with her?
The more Shen Siyan thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. His heart felt like it was blocked by a big rock, and at the same time, there was a hint of panic.
"Beep—"
The gate opened in response. He looked over. The woman was already wearing a new set of clothes.
His breath caught in his throat. While his heart ached, there was also a hint of relief.
She didn't leave.
"What are you doing here? Why don't you turn on the air - conditioner? Aren't you hot?"
Shen Siyan's eyes followed her closely. "No, I'm waiting for you."
"Why do you look so bad?"
"It's nothing. It's too late. Go upstairs and sleep."
It's okay. She's back. At least in the household register, she's still his wife.
Shi Wan's hand stopped in mid - air. Her eyes were full of confusion.
What on earth was going on?
Since entering the master bedroom, she could clearly feel that the man had become even more clingy, as if he was very worried that she would disappear.
"Shen Siyan, what's wrong with you?"
"What did you do tonight?"
Shi Wan's eyes flashed. "Do you know something?"
Was he scared?
Even though his identity had been exposed, in her heart, she still subconsciously regarded him as the Shen Siyan everyone talked about.
The delicate young master in the past.
"What should I know?" He held her hand. "Or are you going to leave?"
Shi Wan's head buzzed. She threw off the quilt and got out of bed.
She was so angry that she trembled all over. "I've spoiled you, right? You're having such wild thoughts and making up your own stories. Why don't you write novels?"
It turned out that he asked because he knew about tonight's events and still hid it from her. He was really spoiled!
With a "bang", the bedroom door was slammed shut by her.
Shen Siyan, who didn't have time to react: "……?"
Did he anger her?
He threw off the quilt, not thinking about what had just happened, and chased after her to coax her.
"Darling?"
"Get out!"
Shi Wan wasn't a petty person, but she hated trouble the most. Yet this man kept everything to himself.
"Smother to death!"
"Darling, I was wrong."
The man wasn't angry even though he was scolded. He knocked on the door to admit his mistake.
He only thought that it was the previous thing that made her angry.
"Don't disturb me while I'm sleeping!"
"Darling, open the door."
Shi Wan didn't say a word. She pulled up the quilt and went to sleep with her head covered.
Shen Siyan waited for a long time but didn't see the door open. He thought she was really asleep.
He took out the key. Just as he was about to open the door, Shi Wan's words suddenly rang in his ears.
Thinking carefully... Was he misunderstanding?
She didn't go back with Gong Qi?
He glanced at the door and put the key away. He was really a jerk.
No wonder she was angry. If it were him, he would be angry too.
Shen Siyan thought that he would explain it to her early the next morning. Who knew that when he went downstairs the next day, he only saw the exhaust of the car.
"Darling!"
"Sir." The butler walked over. "Do you want to have breakfast first?"
"Did the young mistress have breakfast?"
"Yes, but the young mistress didn't have much of an appetite."
"Prepare some dishes the young mistress likes for lunch."
"Okay."
...
Li Si waited by the roadside for a while before seeing Shi Wan. As soon as he got in the car, the car shot out like an arrow!
The speed was so fast that Li Si thought the King of Hell couldn't wait to be his sworn brother. He nervously grabbed the seat - belt tightly.
What was wrong with the boss today?
Who had offended her?
As soon as the car stopped, Li Si couldn't help running to the roadside to vomit.
Shi Wan got out of the car, put on her sunglasses, and walked inside. "Let's go."
