Inside the base, Ali knelt before Lu Jianming, her expression resolute.
"Ali, didn't I tell you to stay by Jian Ruoxi's side? What are you doing back here now?"
It was obvious that Chen Jianming was very unhappy about Ali's unauthorized return.
"Don't you know that you must not leave without my summons?"
Lu Shen was a cautious person to begin with, and Ali's sudden appearance must have aroused his suspicion long ago.
The reason why it hasn't been found is because he did a very good job of hiding everything.
But if it were leaked due to Ali's negligence, he wouldn't let it go easily, even if she was one of his most trusted people.
"Ali understands, of course."
"I came back this time because I have some questions and wanted to ask the boss."
When she looked up and met Lu Jianming's gaze, her eyes were filled with anger.
what happened?
What made this girl show such an expression?
"ask."
Everyone looked surprised.
The boss is too lenient with Ali. She's already gone too far, and the boss isn't even angry.
Having received permission, Ali became even less afraid and asked the question directly.
"Boss, you instructed me to stay by Jian Ruoxi's side to prevent Li Anran from causing trouble."
"Is it also to protect her?"
Lu Jianming nodded; that was indeed what he thought.
"If that's the case, why are your assassins still hunting Ruoxi?"
"She went straight to the emergency room today!"
Lu Jianming's expression changed drastically, and his hands, which were gripping the chair, trembled.
Those around her noticed the leader's fury and lowered their heads, secretly mocking Ali's recklessness.
Where did Ali get the nerve to question the boss today?
Oh no, if the boss gets angry, he'll not only severely punish Ali, but it might also implicate others.
"Ali, are you sure you saw it clearly? It's an assassin from the base?"
"who is he?"
He wanted to see who was disregarding his orders and acting on their own.
"Boss, that man was shot dead by Lu Shen."
"The body is still lying in the forest."
Lu Jianming turned to look at the few underlings trembling in the corner and gave them instructions.
"Go and dispose of the body, and remember not to let anyone find out."
"Ali, come with me."
Lu Jianming led Ali to the deepest part of the base, a place where no one else had ever been except him.
He had thought so before.
But now, he's going to investigate this thoroughly.
Reaching the deepest part, Lu Jianming opened the door, and the first thing Ali saw was a huge training ground.
Some people were practicing shooting, while others were sparring bare-knuckle.
This is the force that the boss has been secretly cultivating.
She glanced around and saw that there were at least a hundred people.
"Ali, go and gather everyone together."
"I want to see if there really are missing people."
After counting all the people, it was discovered that some were indeed missing.
Why did he go out?
Lu Jianming asked the team leader inside the base.
"He informed me when he left, saying that you had a task assigned to him."
“There are rules in the base. Every assassin has the ability to carry out missions independently. Even as the captain, I cannot ask too many questions.”
This was indeed a rule personally set by Lu Jianming.
Strangely, he hadn't given any missions to the assassins in the base.
"Besides Ali and me, has anyone else been to the base?"
Anyone who dares to set foot in his base seems to have a death wish.
He insisted on finding that person no matter what.
"No one has come in."
This is the boss's last trump card, which he never lets anyone get close to. It's Ali, who's sitting next to him, and she's here for the first time.
"By the way, someone saw a person outside the base earlier."
"She almost accidentally wandered in, but our people stopped her in time."
This was told to him by other people at the base, since he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.
Who is that person?
The captain stammered, "I heard it was a woman, Li Anran from back then."
"And then it suddenly occurred to me that the assassin who stopped her from coming in was the same one who disappeared today."
Li Anran?
Ali's expression changed slightly.
I had underestimated her all along.
Unexpectedly, she even had the ability to hook up with the assassins in the boss's base and have them work for her.
Although she had never been inside, she had heard of it to some extent.
These assassins are specially trained and have virtually no emotions other than the ability to kill.
Ali glanced at Lu Jianming beside her and saw that his fists were clenched, and he was extremely angry.
She didn't mind adding fuel to the fire.
"I used to think she was easy to control, but now she doesn't even listen to your orders and attacks Ruoxi again and again."
"Boss, Li Anran is so bold now, we can't let him live any longer."
Lu Jianming closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and calmed himself down.
"You're right, this woman really has no reason to continue existing."
Inside the ward, Lu Jin and Shi Tou stayed with Jian Ruoxi for a while before leaving.
"Xiao Jin, wait a minute."
Before leaving, Jian Ruoxi called Lu Jin back.
"Ruoxi, what's wrong?"
Jian Ruoxi did not answer, but looked at the stone beside her.
Li Tianlei immediately understood; he guessed that the two of them had some secret to tell each other.
"Xiao Jin, I'll be waiting for you up ahead."
