Killers weren't scary. What was scary was that you didn't think that this person was a killer!
The middle-aged couple had been sitting not far from the table since the beginning. They were whispering and eating ordinary food like other guests.
The clothes of the two were also the clothes of ordinary upper-class families in Hong Kong. There was nothing special about them. Their looks couldn't be picked out in a crowd at all!
However, it just so happened that these two inconspicuous people were the fatal core of this sudden gunshot!
At the critical moment, everyone held their breath. The two killers, who were pretending to be a couple, showed their fierceness and were about to shoot at Yang Cheng and Li Muhua!
"Bang, bang!!"
After two consecutive gunshots, the scene became crazy again. The guests who escaped from the restaurant didn't care what happened. They only knew to leave this horrible place as soon as possible!
Li Muhua had closed his eyes and was ready to die. He wasn't Yang Cheng. He had no time to run away, let alone kill the two killers.
However, after the gunshots, Li Muhua was surprised to find that he didn't suffer any damage …
En? Missed?
Li Muhua opened his eyes, and the scene in front of him sent a chill down his spine.
He didn't know when, but there were two smoking bloody holes on the foreheads of the killer couple. The gun holes directly penetrated between their eyebrows.
The two killers opened their eyes angrily and fell down. The guns in their hands were still ready to pull the trigger.
"Hoo …"
Jane, who had been standing in the same place and watching everything calmly, was holding an exquisite Swiss-made pocket pistol that had just been fired. This pistol was only more than five centimeters long, but it had amazing power in a short distance.
At the critical moment just now, it was Jane who calmly killed the two killers and saved Li Muhua's life.
Li Muhua felt that the bones in his whole body were as heavy as lead in an instant. He slumped to the ground. He, who had walked around the edge of death again, was about to collapse.
Mo Qianni was also scared and broke into a cold sweat. Seeing that it was Jane who "saved" Yang Cheng, she was grateful and envious. She didn't even have the right to be jealous of such a woman.
"Are you alright?" Yang Chen asked gently while caressing Mo Qianni's face which had turned pale due to the shock.
Mo Qianni felt sweet in her heart. In the face of danger, the first person he cared about was her, not Jane. This showed that she was at least not inferior to Jane in his heart.
This made Mo Qianni suddenly realize that her worries were groundless. If Yang Cheng was the kind of man who would despise her birth, how could he help her again and again without asking for anything in return? Even a super beauty like Jane, who was both intelligent and beautiful, would not have special treatment in his eyes.
She was herself, there was no need to compare herself with others. Mo Qianni was filled with boundless confidence again. She smiled brightly and said, "With you here, I believe everything will be fine."
Yang Cheng didn't understand why this woman suddenly became so cheerful. While feeling puzzled, he nodded in relief.
"What the hell is going on!? Why does someone want to kill us again? Isn't Li Mucheng dead!? "Lu Tao jumped up and shouted after a false alarm.
Li Muhua gasped with anger burning in her eyes, "It's Xu Zhihong. As expected, he won't let us form an alliance so easily."
"Xu Zhihong!?" Lu Tao curled his lips and cursed, "Damn it! This was absolutely a vile method of competition that could not be any more vile! What should we do? If we go back to Zhonghai, won't it be more dangerous!? "
"That won't happen." Mo Qianni came to herself and immediately analyzed carefully, "If we go back to Zhonghai, Xu Zhihong will never dare to do anything. Because of the special social environment of Hong Kong, underworld means can often be suppressed. But think about it, in Zhonghai, the Xu family is just one of the top five families. Any loophole that can be attacked will be used by the other big families to suppress them. After all, in politics and military, the Xu family is not as strong as the other families. They will never dare to use unconventional means to compete with us, which is not in line with their overall interests. "
Li Muhua agreed, "Yes, Miss Mo's analysis is very correct. But even in Hong Kong, the Xu family can't hire killers to attack you so easily. In the next few days, I will not let any fly disturb your fun. "
At this time, several bodyguards hurriedly ran to Li Muhua's side. After being reprimanded by Li Muhua, Li Muhua ordered again, "Immediately mobilize all the most elite brothers. If there are any accidents in the next few days, you will have to deal with it yourself! In addition, contact Mr. Jiang of Hongxing. I need his power to supervise all the underground killers in and out of Hong Kong. "
After that, Li Muhua turned around and bowed to Jane who had been quietly drinking black tea, "Thank you for saving my life, Miss Jane."
Jane put down the teacup elegantly, like the most ancient noble in the palace, "Don't thank me. I just did the rough work. It was Yang Cheng who found out the killer and reminded them that there was an accomplice."
This reminded everyone, and they all looked at Yang Cheng in confusion. Why did he find out that the waiter was a killer so strangely, and he seemed to know the killer's assassination methods very well.
Yang Cheng touched his nose. This Jane was really low-key. She was so low-key that she wanted to push all the good things to others. Wasn't she looking for trouble for herself?
"It's just that I have a good memory. Usually, waiters in Western restaurants will not change a table of customers once they've identified them. It's for the sake of collecting reasonable tips. The waiter just now was different from the first one, and the towel he took was not hung on his wrist according to the rules, but covered his hand. Well, I just watched too many detective movies, and I was a little scared these days, so I was more focused. "Yang Cheng casually explained.
In fact, with his many years of experience, he could feel the difference just from the murderous aura. However, this was also because the level of the killer Xu Zhihong hired was too low. A real master would not reveal his murderous aura so easily.
Knowing that Yang Cheng was not an ordinary person, Li Muhua did not ask too much, afraid that Yang Cheng would be unhappy. She said a few words of gratitude, and the matter was over.
…
In Zhonghai, the continuous autumn rain made the whole sky gray, and the whole ground wet.
In the Xu family's Donghua Technology Building, the door of Xu Zhihong's CEO office was pushed open by a strong force.
Furball had a cigarette in his mouth and a pair of long leather rain boots. He strode into the large office with a beautiful cashmere carpet.
Xu Zhihong looked up and looked at Furball up and down. "How many times have I told you to knock before entering? Also, I don't blame you for wanting to wear such a pair of broken rain boots, but can't you take them off before entering my office? Do you know that this carpet is enough to buy you a few thousand pairs of shoes? "
Furball grinned. He was already used to being criticized by his boss, so he did not care at all. "Boss, you don't know how to do a secretary. Even if I see you doing it, it's not a big deal. At most, we'll do it together. Why knock on the door? It's a waste of time. As for the carpet, I don't want it. I want rain boots. "
"Ignorant man …" Xu Zhihong muttered dejectedly. He was also very helpless with this subordinate of his, but at a critical moment, he really could not do without him. He could only ask about serious matters. "How's the situation in Hong Kong?"
"It didn't work. I don't know where a Caucasian woman came from, but she took care of the couple. Her shooting skills are sharp, tsk tsk … I wonder if she's also good in bed …" Furball sighed.
"Caucasian …" Xu Zhihong thought about it. "Try to find out who that Caucasian woman is. Also, don't stop monitoring Muyun Research Institute. Don't miss any opportunity to capture Li Guangxun."
Furball agreed. "Boss, do you want to send a few more killers? That Yang brat is quite tough. He's still alive! "
"There's no need." Xu Zhihong stood up and walked to the reinforced glass floor-to-ceiling window. He looked at the concrete forest in Zhonghai that was shrouded in the rain and said, "Hong Kong is the Li family's headquarters. They are the local tyrant. Hongxing, East Star, and the Small Swords Society are all their allies. We only have one chance. Any more and we'll just be a joke."
Furball scratched his head disapprovingly. "So we're just going to let it go?"
"Of course I can't. However, there are some things that can be done. It doesn't necessarily have to succeed."
"Again, I don't understand," Furball muttered and walked out of the office in wet rain boots, forgetting to close the door.
Two nights later, in the café of the Li family's Sunset Villa, Yang Cheng and Jane sat on opposite sides of the coffee table in the corner. The fragrance of pure Blue Mountain lingered in the air.
"You're not really just asking me to come out for a cup of coffee, are you?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile when he saw Jane not saying anything.
Jane pursed her thin lips. "Why? Do you miss Miss Mo? Don't worry, it won't take too much of your time. Besides, you guys are going back to Zhonghai tomorrow, and I'm leaving Hong Kong. "
"That's not what I mean. Although Qianni is a woman I care about, we're not that close." Yang Cheng knew that Jane was joking, so he didn't mind.
"I'm just hesitating whether or not to give you the gift that I've developed in the past two days." Jane took a deep breath and revealed a wise smile. "I've decided. I'll give it to you."
As she spoke, she took out a dark yellow plastic bottle from the pocket of her jeans. There was no label on the bottle, and it was the size of a thumb.
"What is this? Medicine?" Yang Cheng picked up the bottle and pinched the cap. There were about a dozen dark brown pills inside.
Jane's expression was a little complicated. "I've been studying how to control and eradicate your strange disease for the past few years. Although I haven't been able to come up with a perfect solution, I've generally understood some basic principles through enough experiments. This is the final pill that I completed last month. I didn't give it a name because there's no need for it. It only serves you. "
"What's its use?" Yang Cheng asked softly.
"It can forcibly stabilize you when you can't control yourself, but … the more you use it, the weaker the effect will be. And … it may be accompanied by a more violent negative effect next time," Jane said slowly.
In other words, this was a kind of slow-acting poison. It could prevent you from feeling pain and going crazy for a short period of time, but in the end, you might completely lose your humanity because of it!
Yang Cheng was silent, and then he smiled bitterly. "Are you harming me or saving me?"
"You can choose not to use it. I took it out because I don't want to hide anything from you." Jane looked at Yang Cheng with a little hope.
"You know me. I can't refuse it. Of course, I hope not to use it."
With that, Yang Cheng put the bottle into his pants pocket.
Jane sighed. "I knew it."
