Chapter 69 Who is looking for death?
Jiang Yue really didn't expect that the young master in front of her, who looked pampered and well-off, could remain so calm and composed in the face of the threat of several guns and an obviously unfavorable situation, and even subtly control the rhythm of the conversation.
He couldn't help but feel a little alert.
Jiang Yue cleared her throat and directly stated her purpose, her eyes falling on Pei Heng.
"Yes, you guessed right. The person who hired me was indeed targeting you."
Pei Heng heard this without any fear on his face, "Why are you looking for me? Doesn't he have legs? He won't come here himself."
"A stinking bug that hides in the dark."
Jiang Yue: “…”
"He wants you." Jiang Yue said, a little vaguely, which added a dangerous ambiguity.
Pei Heng: “?”
He showed a confused look, then pulled the zipper of his jacket up to his chin, looking cold and cool.
Shen Shi raised his lowered eyes, a cold and damp chill surged in his eyes. He suppressed his anger and just looked at Jiang Yue quietly. The fierce aura around him made the experienced and big mercenaries tense their muscles and watch his every move vigilantly.
Shen Shi: "Who hired you? If it's just for money, I can pay more."
Pei Heng's face was expressionless, his chin slightly raised. "I'm not interested in meeting a coward who can only hide behind others and play tricks. Let him get out of here."
It's very fierce.
Jiang Yue watched the two of them singing the same tune, one luring and the other provoking, and they cooperated well.
He smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's a pity that although I'm working for money, I can't turn against my employer at the last minute."
Then he thought of what his boss had said, and looked at Shen Shi again, “Come to think of it…my boss should be an old acquaintance of yours.”
"What I said to you last night must have touched you quite a bit, right?"
Shen Shi's pupils trembled slightly, and his fingers gripping the rough edge of the teacup tightened. His phoenix eyes were dark and deep, with an unfathomable coldness and danger.
It was intentional.
No matter which boss Jiang Yue was referring to was a political enemy in the court in the previous life, or which participant in the conspiracy against the Eastern Palace.
It is very likely that they were all directly or indirectly involved in the incident that ultimately led to His Highness's death.
Shen Shi has never been docile.
He is cold-hearted by nature, vindictive, cruel, and decisive in killing.
It was only after she and Pei Heng became friends that she willingly restrained her power and sharp edge. But if someone wanted to destroy everything now...
He lowered the teacup, his cold eyes slightly lowered, his eyes were gloomy, but his tone was very calm.
"Really? It seems some people are reborn, while others are looking for death."
At this time, Shen Shi did not show much of the youthful spirit of a reborn boy, nor could he conceal the murderous aura that had been soaked in power struggles for many years.
Zhou Jingming had never seen Chen Shi like this before and was scared to death.
Pei Heng also frowned, worried, and held Shen's hand under the table, his fingertips touching the marks on his palm.
Pei Heng gently stroked his palm with his fingertips.
Shen Shi raised his eyes and looked at Pei Heng, then nodded slightly.
At this moment, Chen Yu, who had been leaning against the window and looked frightened, coughed several times without warning.
Pei Heng heard it and turned his gaze towards Jiang Yue, looking like he had no choice but to compromise, yet also a little unwilling.
"Well, it seems we can't leave easily, but... before you take us to see your boss, you have to let us die with a clear understanding."
"Have you ever met him in person?"
Jiang Yue heard this and leaned back on the chair. "Don't try to trick me, young man. I'm an experienced kidnapper. Of course..."
His tone turned cold and threatening, "If you insist on not cooperating, we don't mind switching roles and becoming killers."
Yinghong, who was standing beside him, finally couldn't help but speak in a sharp voice, "Why waste so much time talking to them? Just take them away and get rid of them! The master is waiting for us to come back..."
Before he finished speaking, something strange happened.
Shen Shi smashed the ceramic cup on the table, picked up a few flying ceramic fragments, and with a flick of his wrist, shot them straight at Yinghong's throat.
Yinghong's eyes suddenly widened, her expression froze, and she didn't even have time to make any sound. She fell straight backwards, blood quickly seeping out of her neck. She twitched twice, and then there was no sound.
A few sharpened bamboo sticks slipped out of Chen Shi's sleeves, and with a flick of his fingertips, the bamboo sticks pierced into the side of Jiang Yue's neck.
The arrogance on Jiang Yue's face turned into horror. Her whole body went numb and in an instant she couldn't even move her fingers. She could only make a gasping sound in her throat and lost control of her body.
He could only watch everything happening before his eyes.
And this scene happened too quickly.
The moment the mercenaries wanted to raise their guns, the heavy wooden door was kicked open from the outside.
Ling Yue's figure was as fast as a ghost. The guns of the two mercenaries closest to him were kicked away, and he was hit hard on the side of his neck. He fell to the ground without even a grunt.
Huo Xiao immediately came over to protect Pei Heng, his broad chest completely blocking Pei Heng's sight.
Pei Heng: “…”
Pei Heng only felt a darkness before his eyes. He was already tightly protected by Huo Xiao and his vision was blocked.
Fortunately, his height was similar to Huo Xiao's, and he could look out from beside Huo Xiao's strong shoulders.
He saw Shen Shi standing in front of Jiang Yue, who was limp as mud and full of fear. His eyes were cold, and he picked up a thin bamboo stick in his hand. Under Jiang Yue's desperate gaze, he stabbed it into a certain acupoint on his head.
Jiang Yue let out an uncontrollable scream of extreme pain, her face twisted and veins bulging on her temples, but her body was unable to move at all, unable even to struggle.
In the blink of an eye, Ling Yue eliminated all the gun threats with his bare hands and knocked them all unconscious.
But only ten seconds.
Chen Yu, who was standing by the door, pushed the door, which was kicked to the point of collapse, back on track and bolted it.
The shock in Jiang Yue's eyes far outweighed the pain, and she couldn't understand it at all.
I can't understand why these people have such strange skills.
What was even more confusing was that the temples pointed to by the two maps were separated by an entire mountain, and it was clearly confirmed that Ling Yue and Huo Xiao were heading in the wrong direction.
How could they get there so quickly? Could they even fly?
Pei Heng patted Huo Xiao's shoulder, walked up to Jiang Yue with an expressionless face, looked down at him, as if he could see his confusion, and gave an answer that was enough to infuriate him to death.
"You are not only incomprehensible, but also stupid."
The layout is crude and full of loopholes, which is an insult to Xiao Pei's intelligence.
Zhou Jingming, who had been standing in the corner and witnessed the entire action-packed event, instantly became more courageous when he saw that the crisis was over and his brothers had all returned.
He tightly grasped the iron rod that he hadn't let go of, and moved closer, pretending to be intimidating the motionless Jiang Yue, "That's right, you're so stupid!"
Zhou Jingming thought of the scene of rolling down the hillside before.
