Yi Xin rummaged through her backpack, then looked up at Lin Jiu with regret. "Xiao Jiu, I'm sorry. I left the box in the closet when I washed my backpack yesterday. Can you come home with me to get it now?"
"Of course." Lin Jiu knew that Yi Xin was not the kind of person who wanted to frame her.
Yi Xin rents an apartment on the third floor of an old building that was once a factory housing estate built in the 1980s. The only room she has is less than 20 square meters and doesn’t even have a separate bathroom.
The two walked in the dilapidated corridor, with only two remaining lights providing dim light.
Yi Xin walked to a rusty old-fashioned security door and looked at Lin Jiu awkwardly, "Xiao Jiu, my house is simple, please don't laugh at me."
"How could that be? Actually, I used to live in the slums, and the conditions were much worse than here."
Yi Xin opened the door.
A dazzling ray of sunlight shone over, and Yi Xin closed her eyes.
Suddenly, Lin Jiu felt a shadow flash in the sunlight.
She reached out to pull Yi Xin away, but it was too late. The sharp dagger pierced Yi Xin's side, leaving a trail of blood.
Lin Jiu kicked the person behind the door against the wall inside the room.
Yi Xin covered her side, stumbled to the wardrobe, and took out a box wrapped in red cloth.
The masked man who fell in the corner got up and rushed towards Yi Xin to grab the box.
Yi Xin hugged the box and turned with his back to the masked man.
The masked man raised his hand to stab the dagger into the back of Yi Xin's neck.
Lin Jiu kicked the dagger out of the masked man's hand and kicked him in the stomach again.
The masked man held his stomach and retreated backwards, accidentally tripping and hitting the back of his head on the corner of the table, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Lin Jiu tried to feel the masked man's breath, but he was already dead.
She pulled open his sleeves and saw a purple-black wing totem surrounding the letter D. It was the Dark Night Group again.
She pulled off his face mask. She had seen this man before in the milk tea shop. He was a clerk there.
It turns out that the Dark Night Group is monitoring Yi Xin.
Lin Jiu shook his head and quickly helped Yi Xin, who was still holding the box, up. "How could you be so stupid as to use your body to protect this box?"
"This is a task my boyfriend gave me. I can't let the box get hurt."
Lin Jiu felt sad when he heard this.
She ripped open the side of Yi Xin's shirt. Fortunately, it only scratched the skin and did not hurt the internal organs.
But the blood had already stained a large area of the shirt red.
"We can't live here anymore. My colleagues will come and take care of it. Come with me to the hospital first."
Imperial Capital Hospital VIP Ward
"Xiaojiu, it will cost a lot of money to live here. I'm fine now." Yi Xin looked at Lin Jiu worriedly.
"It's okay, Yi Xin. You were injured because of us. It's a work-related injury and can be reimbursed." Lin Jiu winked at Yi Xin.
Yi Xin handed the box to Lin Jiu, "Xiao Jiu, please help me pass the box to He Hao."
"No problem." Lin Jiu handed Yi Xin a Nine business card and a new ID card.
"Yi Xin, I'm sorry to drag you into this. Your name can no longer be used. Don't be sad. You can go to work at TD Group under your new identity. This is President Nine's business card."
Yi Xin stared at her photo and name on the ID card, "Yi Xin."
"You have a bachelor's degree. You can use your talents in TD Group. Don't go to the milk tea shop anymore. It's a waste of your talent."
What did Yi Xin want to say?
Lin Jiu patted her shoulder and said, "Go back to work when you feel better. You will have a new start. As I said before, don't contact He Hao and me. We will contact you."
Lin Jiu left the hospital and found a secluded place before opening the box Yi Xin gave her.
