The night was deep.

Bathed in the warm breeze, Xu Manzhi looked up at the stars in the sky, feeling happy.

When she passed by a river, she made a point of washing Xiao Hei.

The little guy is incredibly clean.

Its small fangs are not yet obvious, but they are already beginning to show.

Holding it in my arms, I felt quite at ease.

Xu Manzhi followed the scent through the streets and alleys until she arrived at the foot of an empty office building.

First floor storage room.

"What's going on? You took the money, why aren't you doing your job?" Jiang She said angrily.

The middle-aged man with a scarred face standing in front of him was Old Chai, the elder brother he had paid to hire. He was ruthless and merciless, and had been cunning and shrewd since his youth, mingling in all kinds of places with ease.

An opportunist.

Even in the most brutal years, when even the Yang family was raided, Old Chai lived a stable and secure life.

He was also one of the Jiang family's informants.

They rely on each other.

Support each other.

After much deliberation, Jiang She spent a large sum of money to hire Lao Chai.

What happened?

He was so incompetent that he made Yueyue very sad...

Old Chai was also completely bewildered.

He said fiercely, "You'd better not be hiding anything, like this woman's fighting ability or anything, or I'll return your ten thousand yuan to you right now."

Ten thousand yuan...

Xu Manzhi hid in the darkness, her fingers gently resting on Xiao Hei's big nose, tapping its tip lightly again and again, her eyes gleaming with a faint light.

These people are really rich.

He became a millionaire with just one move.

As she flipped through the newspaper that afternoon, she clearly remembered that the whole nation was struggling financially, and that the fact that everyone was barely able to eat and wear was a testament to the leadership's great achievements in ensuring domestic demand under a planned economy and amidst a tense international situation...

Ouch.

Old Xu is indeed a smart man.

He once said something quite nice.

The most lucrative business is undoubtedly double-crossing.

She wants this old man.

Boom boom boom.

A soft pig's squeal echoed in the dark room.

Splash!

Old Chai was the first to react.

He abruptly drew a gun from his waist, gripped the trigger tightly, and growled warily, "Who's there? Show yourself, or I'll shoot!"

Jiang She rolled her eyes.

This is the company's office building.

No one knows this place better than him.

The entire building was turned off before 8 o'clock.

Without the key, there's no way to get in.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so brazen as to invite Lao Chai to discuss this matter.

Boom boom boom.

Just then, a little black pig darted around.

It wandered around leisurely, oblivious to everything around it.

Old Chai breathed a sigh of relief.

He felt the threat of someone aiming at the back of his head disappear. Seeing that it was a small black pig, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said irritably, "How could you let a piglet into the building?"

At first, Jiang She was quite confident.

But when he caught sight of the little black pig, a bad feeling rose in his heart.

This looks like the pig that Xu Manzhi brought home...

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

A cold wind swept through the darkness.

He caught a glimpse of a shadowy figure flashing like a ghost, and before he could react, he saw Old Chai suddenly leap up and frantically pull the trigger.

*Snap*

A streak of light flashed by.

Old Chai's arm suddenly jolted.

The gun in his hand was flung away, and pebbles streaked through the darkness like meteors, striking Old Chai's figure and causing him to groan in pain.

"Friends in the underworld, if you've got the guts, stop hiding and show yourself!" Old Chai said hoarsely, clutching his shoulder.

Da da da.

The footsteps were neither hurried nor slow.

But the sound of the shoe tips scraping the ground was like drumbeats striking Lao Chai and Jiang She's hearts, making their backs tense and as if they were walking on thin ice.

There is no greater threat than this.

Even Lao Chai, who had spent years navigating the line between life and death, was sweating profusely, feeling as if he were being pricked by thorns.

Boom boom boom.

The little wild boar darted to Jiang She's feet and stuck out its tongue to lick his calf.

Jiang She raised her leg to kick.

Just then, a beam of light shone through the doorway, revealing a stunningly beautiful young woman's face. A faint smile played on her lips, and when she touched Jiang She, it felt as if she weighed a ton.

Jiang She's knees buckled.

His pupils contracted sharply, and he exclaimed in terror, "You, how did you get here?"

Snap.

Xu Manzhi turned off the flashlight.

Her dark eyes, gleaming like a wild beast, stared at the trembling figure, her voice dripping with bloodlust: "Old Chai, I originally wanted to punch Big Black through his chest, crush his heart, and wash my clean fingers, but alas..."

A single "What a pity!" pierced my heart like a thousand arrows.

The demonic sound pierced my brain.

Old Chai had a feeling that someone was holding his life in someone's hands. He suddenly squatted down, picked up the gun, and said in a fierce but weak voice, "You, you killed Big Black? These days, apart from those wearing red armbands, anyone who kills someone will be shot."

"Tsk~~"

The clear click of the tongue was filled with a chilling contempt.

Old Chai panicked.

He forced himself to remain calm and asked, "Who exactly are you? Do you disregard the law and human life?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang She grabbed his arm.

Jiang She rebuked sharply, "Xu Manzhi, are you crazy? Don't you want to live anymore? Is there no one in this world you care about?"

If she wanted to die, he could grant her that wish.

Huffing and puffing.

A cold wind swept in.

The next second, his neck was gripped by cold fingers.

Breathing was instantly stopped.

Immediately afterward, before Lao Chai could react, a lightning-fast attack struck him with unstoppable speed, kicking him hard in the waist.
