Huo Xiao and Qin Ji also saw Jiang Nianfa's post.
If they didn't now know that Jiang Nian was JN, they might have suspected that JN and Si Boye were having an affair.
Looking at it now—
This is indeed true.
Whoever takes the order, I'll kill them.
The girl is so cool.
This post also caused a huge stir on Xinglan's forum. Numerous comments appeared within minutes.
[Holy crap, JN is really online and even posted something?]
What does this guy mean by saying that? Does he mean he's going to take this job and no one else is allowed to compete with him, or else they'll be doomed?
[Seriously... I get the feeling this is some kind of powerful figure protecting Si Boye, forbidding anyone from touching him.]
[That's impossible. It's impossible that Boss JN is gay and has a crush on that CEO Bo, is it?]
[I suspect that after seeing the bounty, that CEO Bo hired JN, a big shot, to protect him at an even higher price; that makes more sense.]
[But Boss JN clearly stated long ago that he wouldn't take murder cases, yet now he's overturned his principles for Si Boye. What's their relationship?]
Despite the various speculations, once JN posted this, at least no one dared to casually say that they were tempted by the 100 million bounty.
Those who want to take action should not only consider whether they can survive in Si Boye's hands, but also whether they can survive in JN's hands first.
It's not just because JN is ranked number one on the leaderboard and has a mysterious and unpredictable identity. It's also because some people say that JN has another identity: a top-tier hacker.
Several of the top-tier (S-level) contracts we've handled so far have been related to hacking.
Although the identity of the person who takes the order will not be made public, if JN is really a hacker, and you take the order, he really can trace you back through the internet.
JN said he'd kill whoever takes his orders, and who knows, he might just quietly show up at your door and kill you.

On the sofa.
Jiang Nian asked, "Who issued this bounty? Do you have any leads?"
On her way back, she had already tried to hack into Xinglan's internal system to find the anonymous user who posted the bounty.
But the person who posted the message was clearly no ordinary person; their identity information was protected by triple encryption, which even she couldn't break.
Fu Jingyi pushed up his glasses: "Just like the people who sent people to assassinate Bo Ye last time, they were ruthless and left no trace, so we couldn't find anything."
In other words, the person who offered a 100 million bounty to kill Si Boye this time is likely the same person who sent people to assassinate him last time.
Who could possibly harbor such deep hatred for Si Boye that they would spend a hundred million to kill him?
Was the other party really after Si Boye?
Jiang Nian frowned slightly, as if she had thought of something.
"At worst, Bo Ye shouldn't go out for a while. Even if he does go out, he should wear a bulletproof vest," Qin Ji said from the side.
"I'd love for someone to make a move,"
Si Boye leaned back in his chair, nonchalantly saying, "I'm in the open, but those who want to kill me are in the shadows. Hiding won't bring them out."
However, seeing the girl beside him frown, Si Boye gently stroked Jiang Nian's brow with his fingertips, and his tone softened.
"Baby, don't frown. I promised you I wouldn't die a second time and make you worry."
An unknown enemy, an unknown danger.
How could I not worry?
Jiang Nian's eyes flickered slightly, and she stood up: "You guys chat first, I'm going to make a phone call."
Back in the quiet, empty room, Jiang Nian took out her phone.
Under the dim light of the floor lamp, the girl's long, curved eyelashes cast a shadow on her eyelids.
Her slender, pale fingers dialed a number she hadn't dialed in a long time.
Beep—beep—
It rang less than twice before the call was answered.
"……Miss?"
It was a man's steady voice, tinged with hesitation and uncertainty.
There was a slight tremor, though it was masked by the deep breaths he took when he first answered the phone.
Jiang Ren.
When she was thirteen, she found a man covered in blood and barely alive by the roadside.
Orphaned and raised in the slums, he offended a low-level gang leader and was ambushed and stabbed several times in retaliation.
She led the man she had rescued to Lu Zhaokun, who simply sat in a chair and casually lifted his eyelids.
She said she picked up a dog, and she can keep it if she wants. If she raises it well, it will be a loyal dog that will do things for her. If she doesn't raise it well, she might get bitten by a flame.
So she had the man take her surname and stay by her side.
When she left Shenyin, she gave him his freedom.
However, Jiang Ren did not choose to go with her, but stayed in Shenyin.
“It’s me,” Jiang Nian paused, speaking into the phone, “How’s Shenyin doing lately?”
"...Everything is as usual," the man on the other end of the phone said, almost instantly reverting to a businesslike tone.
"After the young lady left, Deng Yan took over Shenyin. After eliminating all forces that opposed him, he did not make any major moves."
Jiang Nian continued, "Are any bullets produced by the hidden arms factory currently flowing into China?"
The last time Si Boye was assassinated, the bullet that was retrieved had a hidden L mark.
She has never forgotten this incident.
"China? ... There are high risks involved in arms smuggling there, and there's no significant demand, so a large-scale outflow is definitely out of the question."
"Jiang Ren, do you know Si Boye?" Jiang Nian suddenly asked.
The man on the other end of the phone also paused.
"...I've heard of him; he seems to be a very powerful person in China."
“I’m with Si Boye now,” Jiang Nian said. “Someone is offering 100 million to kill him, and I have a feeling that this has something to do with me.”
