Chapter 34 Familiar Faces
"Master, Eighth Prince is dead."
Listening to the report from his subordinates,
The man in the suit took a deep drag on his cigarette, and as he exhaled the smoke, his voice was hoarse and low, "How did you die?"
"Type 85 sniper rifle, one shot, one kill!"
The subordinate, on edge, cautiously added, "It is understood that the person who fired the shot is currently serving in an army company and is Lu Jinye's bodyguard!"
"Oh, that woman."
"This is her photo." The subordinate handed over a photograph.
Pinch with two fingers,
His sinister eyes fell on the slightly blurred profile of the girl in the photo, and he suddenly extinguished the cigarette between his fingers. "Such beautiful eyes. Haven't we met somewhere before?"
"Your subordinates haven't found any other information about her yet..."
"waste."
The lighter's flame burned, slowly engulfing the photo until only ashes remained.
The man in the suit rolled up his sleeves, elegantly picked up the baseball bat that was standing by the window, turned around and walked to the group of people kneeling against the wall. "Let me see, who's next?"
"Master, master, spare me! Master! Ah!"
The cries for help abruptly ceased, leaving behind only a winding river of blood.
Faced with this scene, none of the people typing on their computers reacted; they were numb, like robots!
It seemed only the cool moonlight was recording all of this, until the sun rose, and everything was as if nothing had happened, everything was brand new again...
Because of the border shooting incident, Chen Yingying was hospitalized due to the shock. Considering safety issues, the filming of the movie was temporarily suspended and the script was ordered to be revised urgently.
During this rare break, Lu Jinye went straight back to the city.
Wen Ni finally found some time to go house hunting with Lin Yi.
The agreed meeting place was at the headquarters of Lingyu Real Estate in the city center.
Lingyu Real Estate is one of the top three private enterprise groups in China, with projects such as property management and star-rated hotels. It is a true top business leader!
Lin Yi is easygoing, outgoing, enthusiastic, and down-to-earth! It's surprising that someone like him comes from such a real estate tycoon family!
Hello, do you have an appointment?
"I made plans with a friend to look at houses together, but he hasn't arrived yet."
Wen Ni stood in the hall, looking around but not seeing Lin Yi.
"We have a rest area here, you can wait here for a while!"
The receptionist greeted me with a warm smile and handed me a room type guide.
"You can take a look and see if there are any room types and decorations that suit your taste!"
"Okay, thank you."
Wen Ni turned around and sat on the sofa in the rest area. The floor-to-ceiling windows were clear and bright, and outside there were cars coming and going and crowds of people.
There weren't many people asking about apartments in the lobby.
When the sales staff had a moment to spare, they leaned against the front desk and started chatting.
"The woman I just served was carrying the latest LV bag and wearing Chanel's spring pre-sale perfume! And guess what happened?"
"how?"
"She's actually a kept woman!"
The short-haired saleswoman curled her lip and sneered, "That man only bought her a small apartment worth less than a million. When he paid the deposit just now, his wife even called to check up on him!"
"One million is not a small amount; at least they're willing to spend it!"
"That's right~ When will I have a man who can give me millions in one go!"
"Why don't you find a rich man to marry? Our job makes it easy to meet people. Who knows, one day you might catch the eye of a wealthy businessman and become a rich woman, hahaha!"
They chattered and laughed incessantly, and the short-haired saleswoman's eyes darted around, fixing on Wen Ni.
"Hey? What's that girl sitting in the lounge area doing? Does she think this place is a coffee shop?"
"They said they were waiting for someone."
"Tsk tsk, her clothes and appearance are very ordinary, but she looks young and pretty! These days, older men all like this kind of innocent young woman!"
The short-haired saleswoman squinted and looked me up and down.
What kind of person could a poor but beautiful young girl like her be waiting for here? Probably one of those high-ranking executives or businessmen who are into playing the field.
He can easily seduce someone into bed with just a few tens of thousands of yuan. Then he buys a cheap apartment to keep them in bed, and once he's had enough, he gives the apartment away as a breakup gift!
"Why hasn't the person she's waiting for arrived yet? Did she get played and dumped? Hahaha~"
She's seen far too many cases of innocent, naive girls being dumped in this industry!
In front of the floor-to-ceiling window
Wen Ni flipped through the room brochure from beginning to end, but instead of Lin Yi showing up, she received his phone call.
"Wen Shen! Someone contacted me, claiming to be from the National Cybersecurity Bureau. He said our [Haphazard Team] won first place in the New Year competition, and the national level highly values our abilities. He wants to discuss some things with me in person!"
"Plague God? What kind of ridiculous title is that?" Wen Ni hissed. "So, that's your excuse for being an hour late?"
"Hehe~ Actually, I can't keep you company today. But I've already spoken to Uncle Wang, and he'll take care of you for me!"
"Uncle Wang is...?"
"I have to talk to you later, Wen Shen! The people from the National Security Network have arrived, I need to play it cool!"
All that's left on the other end of the phone is the dial tone of a disconnected call...
"..."
Perhaps this is the retribution for her standing him up so many times?
Wen Ni picked up the room type guidebook, walked to the front desk, and looked at the only available short-haired saleswoman. The name tag on her chest read Duan Youhui.
"Hello, I'd like to ask about this apartment..."
Duan Youhui pretended not to hear Wen Ni's question. She nudged Wen Ni aside with her shoulder, then swayed her slender waist and headed straight for the door to greet a couple who were walking in hand in hand!
"Sir/Madam! What kind of apartment layout do you usually prefer? We have a model apartment upstairs. If you're interested, we can take you to see it!"
“We’ve already reserved a two-million-dollar house here, and we’re here today to see the renovations. Isn’t Salesman Zhang here today? We reserved the house through him!” The woman emphasized deliberately.
"Salesperson Zhang is off today, but that's okay, I can still show you around the renovations!" Duan Youhui said enthusiastically, her face beaming with smiles!
The woman's voice sounded familiar.
Wen Ni turned her head at the sound and her eyes met the person's!
Sure enough, it was Wen Yuanhai's daughter, Wen Zaizai.
"Oh, isn't this the distinguished Wen Ni?"
Wen Zai raised her chin, her words dripping with sarcasm, "You're so close to Old Master Lu, how come you're only now able to afford a house?"
"Is she your country girl?" Wen Zaizai's fiancé asked, slightly surprised.
He rarely heard Wen Zaizai mention Wen Ni.
All I know is that Wen Ni is a country girl who went to join the army because her family was poor. She didn't make a name for herself and came back to beat her parents and had illicit affairs with a group of older men...
But she didn't say that Wen Ni was so beautiful and had such a great presence!
Her fiancé couldn't take his eyes off her.
Wen Zaizai's anger surged up instantly. "Yes, she's my good sister who's dirt poor but knows how to fawn over rich people!"
"She's been sitting here all afternoon, saying she's waiting for someone, but no one's come. She's probably been dumped!" Saleswoman Duan Youhui sneered, then muttered under her breath.
"Oh? Really!? Then she deserves it!" Wen Zaizai laughed happily.
