Eating Melons and Watching the Show in a Chronicles Novel

As a member of the working class, Lin Jingyu, a cargo registrar at a port, transmigrated to the early 1970s during her lunch break.

She unexpectedly discovered that she had entered a chronicl...

Chapter 512 Who do you think you are!

"Lord Jacks means we should add more prize money?"

The count immediately understood his meaning: "Five million is a good reward for ordinary mercenaries, while ten million might entice some famous mercenaries."

To get top-tier experts to take on a project, you'd probably need at least 30 million.

Although 30 million is not much to us.

We are willing to pay this reward if we can kill this Eastern woman.

However, the other party will probably find out about our increased bonuses, and then they will send more powerful figures from the East to Xiangdu.

Lord Jax, do you think this might cause even bigger trouble?

"Actually, attracting a powerful figure from the East is a good thing."

Jacks looked at them and asked softly, "Don't you want to know just how powerful the Eastern experts are?"

By increasing the prize money, we are essentially attracting top mercenaries to fight against powerful figures from the East.

It doesn't matter to us who lives or dies; the best outcome would be for them to perish together, wouldn't it?

"I think so."

Sydov was the first to agree, "The battle between the two sides might attract more mercenary experts and powerful figures from the East. Both of these types of people are uncontrollable, so it's better to let them 'wear down' each other."

"feasible."

The count, that foreigner, finally nodded in agreement.

A few days later.

A shocking piece of news has emerged.

A reward of 30 million yuan has appeared on the bounty list.

The crowd soon discovered that the person for whom a huge reward was offered was actually a young woman.

Moreover, she was on the bounty list last year, and the reward was only five million.

It has now reached 30 million.

This speed is simply astonishing.

The news caused an uproar everywhere.

No one knows who exactly is targeting a young woman from the East.

As the person involved, Lin Jingyu remained quite calm after learning about it.

"Thirty million, that's quite a lot."

Lin Jingyu rested her chin on her hand and muttered, "Don't you know I'm short of money right now? I'm tempted by this huge bonus."

"What nonsense."

Old Master Zhang was amused by her words. "What, are you planning to take care of yourself and then collect these thirty million?"

"May I?"

Lin Jingyu had barely uttered those words...

Grandpa Zhang slapped her on the back of the head without any politeness, "You good-for-nothing, what's thirty million? I wouldn't sell you even if you gave me three hundred billion."

Three hundred billion?

Lin Jingyu's eyes practically turned into coins as she said expectantly, "If you're unwilling to sell, I'm willing to sell myself. I just don't know which sucker will be willing to pay this amount."

"You girl..."

Not only did Grandpa Zhang laugh in anger, but Grandpa Qingxuan was also at a loss for words, laughing and scolding, "Don't talk nonsense, or you'll get a beating."

Grandpa Ye Yun and the others also looked on with a mixture of amusement and disbelief.

The already heavy atmosphere was ruined by Lin Jingyu's few words.

Seeing that the old men's expressions were no longer so gloomy, Lin Jingyu felt relieved.

He still smiled and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. No matter how much the bonus is increased, it won't have much impact on us."

It's just 30 million, as if everyone has that much.

I made a movie and that's it, who's looking down on whom?

"If they could really come up with 300 million as a prize, I might think more highly of them."

Stop showing off.

Grandpa Zhang glared at her irritably, "If word gets out, aren't you afraid of getting yourself beaten up?"

"Grandpa, am I telling the truth?"

Lin Jingyu said with a smile, "They are willing to give up so much money as a bonus, it really makes me want to rob them."

Gentlemen, do you think it's possible to find these people?

"You're really after his money, aren't you?"

Grandpa Qingxuan said helplessly, "Even if we could find them, it wouldn't be so easy for you to rob them."

“Jingyu, although I think your plan is good, we really can’t find anyone to provide the bonus.”

Grandpa Ye Yun said, "Only the founders of the bounty list would know where the other party came from. Most importantly, the founders of the bounty list should be a group of foreigners."

Given our circumstances, it is indeed impossible to find the actual person who hired the hitman.

"The person who hired the hitman could be either a Japanese soldier or, most likely, one of the foreigners in Xiangdu."

Grandpa Zhang directly stated his guess: "Just a few days ago, we killed ten foreigners who came looking for death, and the bounty on the wanted list immediately soared to 30 million."

It would be strange if it had nothing to do with these foreigners.

"That's right, it's very likely that they're foreigners in Hong Kong."

Grandpa Qingxuan nodded. "If it was them who did it, then it means that the mercenaries who tried to assassinate Junior Sister will be able to easily enter Xiangdu."

We're not afraid of anything else, but we're afraid these ruthless mercenaries will disrupt the safety of Xiangdu.

"This situation can indeed occur."

Ye Yun also looked troubled. "Foreign mercenaries are a bunch of wolves and tigers, inhuman creatures who enjoy killing for pleasure."

If such a person were actually allowed in, it would indeed have a significant impact.

In addition, there's the matter of the Huo family...

This seems a bit tricky!

"Incense can be handled haphazardly, but it must remain within our control."

Lin Jingyu's expression was serious. "Since they've targeted me, these people will definitely sneak into Kowloon."

If they concentrate in one place, then they are easy to control.
