Jiujiu took the warm milk and lowered her head to take a sip.
The sweetness of the milk was just right. It was not too strong and made her mouth bitter, but it covered up the fishy taste of the milk.
Seeing Jiujiu drink the milk, Meng Ke's eyebrows relaxed. He sat opposite Jiujiu and smiled. "Is there anything you want to ask?"
Jiujiu put the glass of milk on the table and looked at Meng Ke. "Mr. Meng, what do you do for a living?"
A man who could afford to buy a watch that cost millions and a white shirt that cost two thousand as a disposable item would lower himself to be a librarian in the school library. It would be a lie to say that he did not have any ulterior motives.
Meng Ke looked at Jiujiu and said, "If I say it's for you, would you believe me?"
"I would." Jiujiu pursed her lips. "Then can you tell me why you're looking for me?"
"I heard that someone told you that your parents were killed by Flying Bird. Is that true?"
The moment Meng Ke opened his mouth, he pointed out that Jiujiu's parents had passed away, and he even mentioned the word 'flying bird'. It was obvious that he knew Jiujiu better than Jiujiu imagined.
Jiujiu looked at Meng Ke in surprise. "Mr. Meng, where did you hear about this?"
Meng Ke's lips curled into an enigmatic smile. "You don't care where I heard this news from. Just tell me, am I right?"
Jiujiu nodded. "I did hear from someone that my parents didn't die in an accident. They were killed by a killer called Flying Bird. I did want to kill Flying Bird to avenge my parents."
Meng Ke rubbed Jiujiu's head and smiled. "Good girl. You're brave."
Meng Ke looked at Jiujiu with nostalgia. He seemed to be reminiscing about his old friends through Jiujiu. "My parents and I are old friends. We worked together many times. I just didn't expect them to have an accident."
Jiujiu quickly grasped the main point. "You know my parents? Why have my parents never mentioned you before? "
Meng Liang chuckled. "People like us can't have friends."
Jiujiu looked at Meng Ke and asked, "People like you? Are you an assassin? "
Meng Ke looked at Jiujiu in surprise and exclaimed, "Nanyuan, you are really a surprising young lady."
He did not expect that Jiujiu would be able to guess his identity so easily.
Meng Ke exclaimed, "If it weren't for your poor health, you would definitely become the best assassin in the world. No man can escape from your grasp."
A normal killer would only want the other party's life, but if the person was Jiujiu, then what they wanted was her heart.
Jiujiu frowned. "Do you mean that my parents are killers too?"
If he wasn't an assassin, how could he be Meng Liang's best friend?
Meng Ke nodded. "Your parents are indeed killers, but they have been retired for more than ten years. This time, they were killed because they were betrayed by a mole. The person who did it was Flying Bird."
For top killers like them, no matter their appearance or code name, they were a mystery in the industry. Moreover, Jiujiu's parents had been retired for more than ten years. If they were not betrayed by a mole, why would they be found?
Some time ago, he found that Nanyuan's parents had not contacted him for a long time. After some investigation, he found out that Nanyuan's parents were dead, and the murderer was Flying Bird, who was ranked first on the list of killers.
As for Flying Bird killing Nanyuan's parents, he had never thought of taking revenge.
Firstly, they had killed countless people. Before they killed someone, they had to be prepared to be killed. Secondly, Flying Bird was only doing it for money. Even if he could stop Flying Bird, he could not stop more people.
It could only be said that Nanyuan's parents were destined to die.
However, what bothered Meng Ke the most was that the person not only killed Nanyuan's parents, but also bought Nanyuan's life. After he found out about this, he rushed over to protect Nanyuan.
Jiujiu did not know why Meng Ke came. After hearing Meng Ke admit that the person who did it was Flying Bird, she said, "Is it really Flying Bird who killed my parents?"
Meng Ke nodded. "It's him."
Jiujiu looked at Meng Ke. Her lips moved. After a long time, she said, "Mr. Meng, are you very good?"
Meng Ke was stunned. He did not understand why Jiujiu suddenly asked such a question, but he still nodded and answered Jiujiu's question. "I'm more good than you think."
"Then can you help me kill Flying Bird?" Jiujiu looked straight at Meng Ke and said, "I can give you money."
Jiujiu thought about it for a long time. Even if she could earn a lot of money, the only way she could get in touch with that circle was to ask Meng Ke to help her.
Meng Ke's gaze stopped on Jiujiu's face. He carefully observed Jiujiu's facial expression.
When Jiujiu asked him how good he was, he thought that Jiujiu wanted to know about her parents through him. He did not expect that Jiujiu asked him why he was good. She wanted him to help her kill Flying Bird.
Meng Ke's lips curved slightly. He said in a declarative tone, "You can't afford my price."
Jiujiu said, "Then give me a number. I can earn it."
As long as she could take revenge, money was not a problem.
Money could be earned again. However, if she let Meng Ke go, she would not have such a good opportunity to get in touch with the people and things in that world.
Meng Ke crossed his legs and changed his position. He leaned against the sofa.
Meng Ke casually unbuttoned two buttons on his collar, revealing two exquisite collarbones and a wheat-colored chest. He looked at Jiujiu curiously. "Why do you want to take revenge? You killed me. What's the point of me killing you? "
Meng Ke looked at Jiujiu. His beautiful lips spat out rational and almost cruel words. "Moreover, the other party killed your parents because your parents killed his family. If revenge breeds revenge, will there ever be an end to it? If everyone has the same mindset as you, there will never be a day of peace."
Jiujiu lowered her eyes to hide her emotions. "I know, but they are my parents. I can't just watch them get killed. I would rather bear the responsibility and kill Flying Bird to avenge my parents. Meng Ke, let me ask you one thing. Are you going to help me or not?"
"Sorry." Meng Ke's rejection was obvious.
Although he was an assassin who was paid to do things, he had his own principles. The situation of Jiujiu's parents was not within his consideration.
As an assassin, he had to be prepared to be killed before he killed someone.
He could not say that he had killed someone and made a mistake. How could he still want to live a happy life?
They were all adults. Before they did anything, they had to be prepared to bear the responsibility.
Meng Ke's words were at the tip of his tongue, but he could not say them. In the end, his rational words turned into a gentle voice of comfort. "I know you are sad, but sometimes you can't do anything. You are still alive, so you have to learn to look forward."
