Chapter 111: Chapter 111
"Gone."
Bai Su retracted his gun, glanced sideways at Jiang Gujun, who was dragging Yan Dunan in his hands.
Yan Dunan was barely alive at this moment, his head listlessly tilted to one side, more air leaving him than entering.
He trembled as he reached out his hand, now with only two fingers remaining, towards Bai Su, wanting to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his eyes shut, and he lost all breath.
"Tsk."
Jiang Gujun disdainfully released his grip, "The so-called top force in Beijing, worthless."
But he was just saying it, inwardly he breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Not in vain did they stage such an elaborate act, gambling with their lives to delve deep into the lion’s den, even hiring President Fei at great expense, only to trap this bastard Yan Dunan.
However, now that Yan Yue盟 is leaderless after tonight, there will surely be chaos.
Jiang Gujun pondered for a moment, "Mr. Su, how about we take down Yan Yue盟 now?"
Bai Su’s brows furrowed deeply, his eyes showed a hint of confusion, the eyes he just saw kept swirling in his mind, pulling back a slight thread of thought, he slipped one hand into his pocket, "Mm."
-
On the deserted highway, a jeep without a license plate sped past.
The driver seemed irritable, constantly flirting with the edge of breaking the speed limit.
She had a lollipop in her mouth, the mask tossed aside, her white shirt sleeves rolled to her elbows, a bullet graze on her cold white forearm still lightly oozing blood, while the one on her face had already congealed.
Set at the corner of her eye, like a slowly blooming mandala, bizarre yet deadly.
Rong Zhi bit into the candy in her mouth as if it were someone’s fingers, echoing a "crack, crack" sound, and after a while, she exhaled coldly.
She pulled out her phone and dialed the encrypted number.
The administrator’s mechanical voice played: "Respected Platinum Tasker, how may I assist you?"
Rong Zhi answered coldly, "Settle the task."
Administrator: "Alright, settling the task for you, two hundred million in rewards have been credited to your account, please check."
"Mm."
"Is there anything else you need?"
"Also settle the previous task."
Administrator was taken aback: "...Ah?"
Rong Zhi stayed silent.
The administrator attempted to explain: "This... within the Heaven Gate Network, unless a task is completed or canceled by the employer, a lister cannot self-cancel the task..."
"Do you want me to hack the Heaven Gate Network?"
Administrator: "..."
Big shot, big shot.
Can’t afford to offend.
The administrator whimpered, swallowing her tears as she complied, "Alright, I will communicate with your employer."
Rong Zhi acknowledged briefly and hung up.
In half an hour, the administrator’s message was sent to her private message box.
Administrator999: [Respected Platinum Tasker, your employer agrees to cancel the task, the reward has been settled, but the employer has something to say to you, do you accept?]
Rong Zhi just arrived at Hua Qing District, her fingers casually tapped the screen: [Reject.]
Administrator999: [...]
Administrator999: [Alright, you choose to receive. Your employer asked me to tell you, he was wrong, he apologizes, someday he’d like to treat you to dinner or have you bully him back, he hopes you’ll forgive him generously.]
Rong Zhi expressionless: [Tell him to scram.]
Administrator999: [Alright, your reply has been forwarded.]
Rong Zhi turned off her phone, tossing it onto the bed, she slightly furrowed her brow, raising a hand to touch the corner of her eye.
Tsk.
Bully him back?
How about a bullet to his head?
Rong Zhi pursed her lips, rummaged through the wardrobe for a bath towel, went to shower, and cursed again while tending to her wound.
After she applied the medicine, she stuck a bandage over the corner of her eye, then let her overgrown bangs fall to cover it, making it essentially invisible.
She drank quite a bit at the party tonight, it had been over two hours and already evaporated completely, lying down for a while unable to sleep, she ended up video calling Fu Yaoyao.
Over at Fu Yaoyao’s side, it was daytime, the yellow sands raging wildly, her soft and tender little face was wrinkled by the blow, lamenting to Rong Zhi bitterly.
"I was just about to call you, then you called me." She twirled her hair on her finger, pouted, "I really want to come back soon, I want to sleep hugging you~"
Rong Zhi furrowed slightly, "Should I go..."
"No need," Fu Yaoyao laughed, her soft and tender face adorable and charming, "Something this small doesn’t need you to step in, though, there is something I do need your help with now."
"Mm?"
"I found some information."
Discussing business, Fu Yaoyao’s tone became very earnest, she switched the camera to let Rong Zhi see the yellow sands in front of her, "This research institute in Danadan Desert is somewhat different from those I’ve previously seen, the people inside hardly ever come out."
In the past, the S Research Institute she staked out would have people transporting materials every so often, but this time, materials were not seen, but corpses were dumped more than any other institute.
"I examined those corpses, they all have a special drug in them that damages brain nerves."
Rong Zhi suddenly sat up straight, "Yao Yao, are you sure?"
Fu Yaoyao: "I’m sure, but I don’t have much lab equipment on hand, can’t do a more precise experiment, can only estimate roughly."
Rong Zhi’s mind began to race with thoughts.
Indeed, the S Research Institute isn’t as straightforward as it appears on the surface, those she found before were likely just distractions placed to confuse others, also because of her rampant actions, those at the S Research Institute became more cautious in their hiding, making it even harder for her to dig out information.
Just unexpected, after half a year of recuperation, they probably felt the threat was gone, so they started to be reckless.
"Yao Yao," Rong Zhi squinted, her voice clear and cold, "To the best of your ability, try to get what’s inside the institute."
Perhaps the antidote for He Songzhi is among what the institute studies.
Even if not, once she gets her hands on it, she can research it herself!
The mere thought of it made Rong Zhi’s fingers tremble uncontrollably.
He Songzhi is now saved.
This is probably the best news she’s heard in three years.
Fu Yaoyao nodded earnestly, "I will do it, senior sister!"
After a few more reminders, Rong Zhi hung up.
Her eyebrows lowered, her gaze profound.
With the cunning of the S Research Institute, relying solely on Fu Yaoyao might not work, she’ll have to visit personally.
Having made up her mind, Rong Zhi got out of bed, packed her luggage, and sent Rong Fangjun a message about temporarily not going to the company.
After packing, she thought about it, then messaged Jiang Gujun asking him to look after He Songzhi and a few others, and then asked Yu Nian for a leave.
Hmm, probably she’s the only one in senior year of high school to ask for leave so frequently.
She booked the closest flight to a city near Danadan Desert, took her documents, and dragged her suitcase out.
-
Wu City.
The only city built on Danadan Desert, the city is small but complete, developed by the government as a tourist city for Danadan Desert.
Rong Zhi landed at Wu City, it was two in the morning. Compared to Danadan Desert’s desolation, Wu City was built large and orderly, though there was quite a bit of sand.
She hailed a cab to the hotel she had booked, settled in, and upon opening her phone a barrage of notifications appeared.
