Chapter 69: Bounty for Pursuit and Kill

  In the city of Jiangbei, in a large building in the urban area, Lan Jie and I were quietly waiting in the hall. Several surveillance cameras in the corner of the wall had turned their direction towards us, and even the front desk receptionist would occasionally look up at us, pretending to be unintentional, enough to show their close surveillance on us.

  "Lan sister, is this really a transit station for the killer organization? It looks like it doesn't feel right, it's more like a spy transit station." I quietly asked Lan sister, the eyes of the people here are filled with hostility, making me very uncomfortable.

  "Don't worry, this transit station has been set up for many years. Their hostility towards me is just some personal grudges. Lan sister smiled lightly, last time she picked a black market and happened to have some people who didn't see eye to eye with her, it was just a convenient lesson, not killing him was already enough for the cheater."

  "For many years, I've been here, and there are so many hitmen, aren't they very fierce? This surprised me, a second-tier inland city already has a transfer station, is this the underworld or the wireless world?"

  "This relay station has been set up for many years, but there are no resident assassins here. Even in big cities, it's the same. Generally, there aren't any assassin organizations that will stay here permanently within the country. They usually hire some trustworthy people domestically at a high salary to act as liaisons. Only when business comes do the liaisons inform the assassin organizations and then send specific assassins to carry out tasks. The liaisons are also responsible for collecting the commission. In recent years, due to the explosive growth of Chinese business, many second-tier cities have started setting up relay stations. As for Jiangbei, it's just a personal reason. As for the level, the assassin level is determined by the target's level." Lan Jie explained in a low voice.

  "It's really just like in the movies, it's so exciting, but do we have enough money? It wouldn't be good if we didn't," I asked doubtfully. Coming to post a task requires a deposit or cash, but it seems like we don't have much money left. Most importantly, based on my years of movie experience, hiring someone to kill is very expensive.

  "Don't worry, it's enough." Lan Jie gave me a reassuring look, she also knew the situation and didn't want to be taken advantage of.

  We were still talking in a low voice, the elevator opposite us opened, and a man in a suit appeared before us. He exchanged a glance with us, then walked into the elevator. Lan Jie hastily beckoned me to get up and follow him.

  Three people stood in the elevator without communicating, Lan sister also hinted to me not to speak, just follow and go. The elevator stopped on the tenth floor, then the man in the suit walked out and took us to the end of the corridor, into the last room. There were four or five people sitting there, like office workers in a company's office building, but we all felt their gaze observing us from the moment we entered.

  After entering their office, the man in the suit sat alone at his desk, clicked a few times on the computer, and then opened a door behind him. I and Lan sister went in alone, after entering, the house became very low, we all had to bend our waists to walk, but we could see that what we entered was not some secret room, but a separate floor.

  It is said that this floor cannot be seen from the outside, and even in the design drawings, it does not exist. It is a masterpiece of a certain architectural master who used the principle of light to deceive most people's eyes, making it very powerful.

  "Not far from 'please sit', we saw an old man with white hair sitting on the sofa waiting for us, in front of him there was a tea table, hot water was boiling, as soon as we arrived, the water just boiled, and the old man started to make tea."

  A faint tea aroma began to waft through the air, but Lan Jie didn't move towards the cup, and I naturally didn't dare to either. "Issue a mission, pursue and kill, disregard life or death, make it public," Lan Jie said after pulling out an envelope.

  "Two lives or one life?" The old man asked after opening the envelope and taking a glance, Li Lan's intention was to openly hunt down Ling Yue, with no regard for life or death. However, in order to rescue Li Lan, but assassination organizations are generally only responsible for killing people, rarely responsible for saving people, unless they also work as mercenaries, of course, there is also a difference in price between the two.

  "Two." Lan's hands trembled for a moment, but she quickly replied, "We didn't plan on relying on these killer organizations. No need to add unnecessary flaws."

  "Alright, wait for five minutes." The old man didn't say anything else, he just slowly brewed tea and drank it.

  Five minutes later, the old man finally spoke up and said "Comprehensive assessment B-level, cult identity +1, incomplete data +1, rescue +1. A total of 13 million, pay a deposit of 5 million first, any questions?"

  Lan Jie furrowed her brow and said, "Rescuing the hostages is understandable, but what about the data and identity? Aren't they part of the comprehensive evaluation? Besides, with Ling Yue's current status and position, even if she were B-level, it would be difficult for her to get in."

  According to the previous rules, targets are divided into four levels: C, B, A, and Special. Except for the Special level, which has a variable price, the prices are as follows: C-level is 500,000, with each level increase adding 1 million. There are also additional requirements such as torture, rape, murder, theft, and rescue, which add to the price depending on the situation. The +1 refers to an additional 100,000. However, identity and information are already included in the initial comprehensive evaluation, but now it seems like they're scamming us.

  "This is what's required from above, I'm just passing it on, don't ask me, I don't know why either?" The old man spread his hands and immediately shifted the responsibility to those above.

  "Hmph, even Stabbing Wolf has become so cunning and cautious. I didn't expect that. Is the one above you Wu Qing? Let her come down and talk to me." Lan sister was furious, no need to say, she knew she was being targeted.

  "Sorry, I don't have the authority." The old man expressed his helplessness again.

  "You're going to have it now!" Lan sister sneered, suddenly striking out with her hand, her fingers flicking towards the teacup on the tea table. The teacup immediately shattered towards the old man, who raised his fist to block it. "Bang" The teacup broke into pieces, but he couldn't dodge Lan sister's punch in time.

  Bang, bang! The old man was punched twice on the head and suddenly felt dizzy. When he came to his senses, he found that his hands were tied up, while Li Lan was smiling at him with a sly grin.

  "How formidable, it's even stronger than the previous report!" The old man was shocked in his heart, but on his face, he revealed an extremely painful expression.

  "Li Lan, are you sure you want to go against us, the Wolf Gang?" A voice quickly came from a hidden microphone somewhere, transmitting a woman's voice that sounded like she was enduring great hardship.

  "Got it, haha, you overestimated yourself, Wu Qing. If I were to spread the word that Cui Lang store is cheating customers, I don't know whether your boss would kill me or kill you. You think about it carefully. Today, I'll bring 3 million, total price is 10 million. If you're willing to accept it, then accept it. If not, I'll turn around and leave. But don't regret it later." Lan sister said loudly without even turning her head while sitting on the stool.

  "You, are you sure you can get out of here today?" Wu Qing's voice came over again, and it was clear that he was already furious.

  "You can try" Lan's murderous intent was palpable, and the old man opposite her trembled with fear.

  Upstairs, a woman in a white collar suit with an angrily twisted face hummed coldly, opened the drawer, took out a handgun, and was about to get up and leave, but her shoulder was immediately pressed down by a palm, unable to move.

  "Uncle Zhong, agree to it, sign the contract, and let them leave." The man holding his shoulder said a sentence into the computer, then shut it down, snatched the pistol from the woman's hand, and with two loud clicks, disassembled it and threw it back into the drawer.

  "This time I'll let it go, but if there's a next time, your father won't be able to protect you either, stupid woman with a big chest and no brain." The man coldly dropped this sentence and walked away, leaving the woman with a red and white face behind.

  Three minutes later, we left the building, but I was still a little frightened. It was really dangerous just now. When that woman said we couldn't get out, I felt like there were several guns pointing at me in secret. The crisis was huge!

  "Lan sister, how long will it take to force Ling Yue out?" I asked. Our plan was never to let the killer kill Ling Yue, but just to use their reputation to force her out. As long as Ling Yue makes a move, Lan sister naturally has a way to find her.

  "In three days, at least three days, at most seven days, Ling Yue will definitely not be able to hide. I hope we can find her before this period is over." Lan Jie replied.

  "Alright, now that we've rescued Ning Ge, let's go find San Long and negotiate with him. If he dares to return my things, I'll expose their information to the higher-ups and see if they're afraid. Let's give them a good scare." I said with a big laugh.

  We're in such a hurry to offer a reward for Ling Yue's capture because we found out about Zhang Yuanjun and the others' deaths, as well as the news of the pursuit from above. As soon as Zhang Yuanjun and the others died, we felt that it was something San Long would do. When I was being held captive by them, they didn't avoid talking in front of me about how to deal with the Three Gods Sect. So, I think it's likely that they did it. At least, one reason for the new heaven is to avenge Kang City, and now that it involves the Wheel of Reincarnation, they should be looking for first-hand materials. And once they get their hands on the materials, next they'll probably try to find out about the Wheel Sect's affairs and blackmail me.

  Just in time, news came that the Seventh Division of the National Security Bureau had officially launched an investigation into the Reincarnation Eye incident. A special task force was established, with a man named Shi Liangcai as its leader. This Shi Liangcai was also a legendary figure, but his attitude towards Buddhism and Taoism made many people wary, after all, no one in this line of work would be soft-hearted.

  In addition, at this time the three dragons will become extremely low-key, we can guess that the three dragons are avoiding the edge of the seventh group, so this is the trend that we want to take advantage of.

  "Yes, it's time to have a good talk with the Three Dragons Association." Lan sister replied. The seventh group is the only major trend we can catch up with, and the seventh group is the only organization that the Three Dragons Association fears. To get back those things and negotiate on an equal footing requires using the seventh group.

  Rumors spread like wildfire through the underworld that someone had offered a reward of one million to the notorious assassin organization, Stabbing Wolf, to take out the remnants of the Three Gods' Sect, specifically targeting Ling Yue. In an extremely short period of time, countless people were abuzz with speculation about who was behind this move and why they wanted her dead.

  At that moment, countless people's eyes were focused on Ling Yue, and the news was sent back to the mountain village, instantly making Ling Yue, who was disguised as a village woman, explode.
