Xia Chujian could see that Ye Shijie seemed to be walking on the street.
Behind it are flashing neon lights and skyscrapers reaching into the sky.
The term "iron forest" has its true literal meaning in the imperial capital of Beichen Star.
Xia Chujian calmed down and said, "Captain Ye, you're not home now?"
She also did not use the virtual display screen to let Ye Shijie see the environment behind her.
In her bedroom at home.
Ye Shijie was wearing a very inconspicuous outfit and a pair of plain glasses on his face. The left leg of the glasses was broken and was wrapped with a small piece of tape.
His hair was messy and his chin was unshaven. He looked very haggard and tired, not at all like his usual self.
He was holding a cigarette in his hand, taking a puff from time to time.
Xia Chujian knew that this was a disguise.
Looking at Ye Shijie's appearance, I wonder if he is doing some mission again.
Ye Shijie dusted off his cigarette ashes and said, "I've moved to a new place, but I can't reveal the address for now."
Xia Chujian looked at the environment around him and guessed that he had moved to an ordinary area where good and bad people mixed together.
There are so many people here that living here is like a drop of water falling into the ocean.
It still takes some effort to be found.
Xia Chujian didn't ask any more questions and said, "How do you know what happened to Gui Yuanxing? Did their family contact you?"
Ye Shijie said, "I couldn't sleep. I was trying to contact my friends at the Mulan City Correctional Service to learn about the progress of the Song Mingqian and Sister Cai cases."
"He knew that we were all members of the Night Hunter team, and that the two victims were my subordinates."
"Less than an hour later, he contacted me again, asking me if Song Mingqian and Sister Cai had a life-or-death feud with someone..."
"My friend is also concerned about the cases of Song Mingqian and Sister Cai. He wants to contact their families in Mulan City to claim the bodies."
"But we couldn't get in touch with him, so we went to his house to notify him according to the address they found in the government system."
"But when we got there, we found that both families were dead."
"My friend said that the other party is a very professional killer. We don't know whether he is a bounty hunter or not."
“But it’s said to be very clean.”
"Song Mingqian was an only child. His family consisted of only his father, mother, grandfather, and grandmother. They were all strangled to death."
"Sister Cai has a large family, and each one was executed execution-style with a silent pistol."
Xia Chujian's face was full of misery, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.
She was silent for a while, then said, "Captain Ye, I don't think this is good."
"I think these people are not just coming for Song Mingqian and Sister Cai..."
Ye Shijie also stopped.
He turned a corner and entered the house.
Closing the door, he frowned and said, "You mean... these people are coming for everyone in our team?"
Xia Chujian nodded: "I have this hunch."
"And they're not going to let our families go either."
"Captain Ye, is this really unrelated to the mission of protecting the noble lady?"
"After all, we failed to protect her and she was beaten to death."
"Will the other party want to kill all of us because of this reason?"
Xia Chujian thought about it and felt that it was related to that mission.
She analyzed, "The other party is powerful and can afford so much money to hire three levels of security personnel."
"He must have money to hire someone to wipe out our team."
Ye Shijie took a deep drag on his cigarette and said fiercely, "I can guarantee that it has absolutely nothing to do with our mission!"
"Don't worry, I'll tell you why."
"Since there are only you and me in our team now, it's okay for me to reveal some information to you."
"That was the mission that night. We did not fail."
"The people we are trying to protect are not dead."
Xia Chujian raised her eyebrows, not quite understanding what Ye Shijie meant.
She saw with her own eyes that Li Fu beat to death the noble lady they were supposed to protect. Could she have seen it wrong?
However, she quickly analyzed that if Ye Shijie did not lie, then could it be analyzed from another angle that the person they wanted to protect that night was not actually the noble lady!
That noble lady is indeed an imposter, and it’s just a front!
Their mission, the person they really had to protect that night, was actually the Queen!
Xia Chujian almost blurted out his own inference.
But I still held back.
She didn't completely trust Ye Shijie, so she didn't say it out loud. She just pretended to be confused, frowned and said, "What do you mean? I don't understand."
Ye Shijie threw the remaining cigarette into the ashtray, unable to tell whether he was disappointed or relieved, and said lightly: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand."
"Whoever tried to kill us this time has absolutely nothing to do with our mission that night."
"Just remember, our mission that night did not fail."
Xia Chujian subconsciously said, "Since the mission didn't fail, why did we only get 10 million in reward?"
Ye Shijie: “…”
How can you say that?!
The surface mission issued by his friend in the Night Hunter Association was to protect that noble lady!
But that noble lady is already dead, so according to the rules of the Night Hunters, they can only get 10 million!
Ye Shijie never expected that at this time, Xia Chujian was still so obsessed with money!
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he chose not to argue about this issue with Xia Chujian, who was stubborn and only cared about money.
