Chapter 11 Kill
Xue Jin finally left. Whether he had murderous intentions towards Lu Yan or not, it was not visible on his face. Manager Chen did not embarrass Lu Yan any further, perhaps because of Xue Jin's words. He glared at Lu Yan fiercely and left.
Lu Yan sat in his seat, not happy that he had escaped, but lowered his head and fell into deep thought:
It’s over. Will he die at the hands of Xue Jin in the second game?
The other party has money and power, knives and needles, but you can't even call the police. What a bullshit.
Jiang Kangkang didn't know what Lu Yan was thinking. He dragged his chair over and secretly shook Lu Yan's arm. His voice was full of relief: "Fortunately, there was a board meeting this morning. Manager Chen was afraid that things would get out of hand. Otherwise, this matter would not be so easy to get over."
Lu Yan realized, "What board of directors?"
Jiang Kangkang gave him a strange look and said, "It's the island tourism development project. It's been in preparation for more than half a year. President Jiang wants to develop the tourism industry, but the shareholders think the investment is too large and have always disagreed. Today's board meeting is just to vote on this matter. Chen Baopi doesn't dare to touch the mold at this time."
Perhaps to verify his words, there was a sudden noise outside the corridor, and the elevator door opened with a ding. Several men in suits walked out one after another. Leading them was Jiang Boyun. He was whispering something to a middle-aged man with gray hair, with a smile on his face, acting like a senior.
Jiang Kangkang has heard a lot of gossip these days and can't wait to share it with Lu Yan: "Hey, have you seen that old man? Lin Hongjing from Dingyou Group. He is the leader in the tourism industry in our city."
He raised a thumb, but his focus was on the woman who followed Lin Hongjing obediently: "His precious daughter has been having a hot relationship with Chairman Jiang recently. If it weren't for this, Lin Hongjing wouldn't have separated the Haidao project from the cooperation. With his help in getting him into the circle, Chairman Jiang has saved a lot of trouble."
The following sentence sounds somewhat meaningful, but it doesn't sound like a compliment at all.
Lu Yan looked out the window and saw Xue Jin quietly following Jiang Boyun. Everyone in the company knew that he was not only the chairman's right-hand man, but also the chairman's mouthpiece. If Jiang Boyun had something that was inconvenient to say or do, he would use Xue Jin to handle it. His future was bright.
But it is such a person who follows Yu Zechuan and becomes a desperado.
Lu Yan now thought of his side quest again -
Explore Xue Jin's identity.
Who is Xue Jin? What is his relationship with Yu Zechuan? And why would he give up his bright future to help him get revenge?
Doubts popped up in my mind one after another, but none of them could be answered.
Lu Yan worked absent-mindedly all day. When he was about to get off work, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed outside the floor-to-ceiling window, directly breaking through the gray clouds. Countless raindrops hit the glass with a crackling sound, blurring the cold high-rise buildings outside.
The originally quiet office suddenly became noisy, with a series of complaints:
"What the hell, it's raining..."
"I didn't even bring an umbrella..."
"Whatever. I have to work overtime today anyway. Maybe I'll stop working soon..."
Hearing this, Lu Yan checked the time on his phone and realized that it was time to get off work. He picked up his computer bag and prepared to leave. Jiang Kangkang was shocked and widened his eyes when he saw this. He quickly grabbed him and said, "Hey, Lu Yan, you are working overtime today!"
Lu Yan patted his shoulder and said, "Come on!"
Jiang Kangkang: “???”
Working overtime is impossible. I will never work overtime in my life.
Lu Yan clocked out before Manager Chen noticed. Xue Jin and Jiang Boyun were both in the meeting room, so if he didn't run away now, when would he run into them? If he ran into them while working overtime, he would be dead.
It was raining heavily outside, so it was impossible to ride a bike. Lu Yan felt in his trouser pocket for the 200 yuan he had borrowed from Jiang Kangkang, and finally decided to splurge and hailed a taxi on the side of the road to go home.
Because it was cloudy, it was already dark at six o'clock. The driver refused to turn into the complicated alleys inside, so Lu Yan had to get off at the intersection.
"Boom——"
A thunder suddenly exploded in the sky, making people tremble with fear.
Lu Yan walked quickly towards home, his shoes splashing water in the puddle. He didn't know what he remembered, and looked back, only to see nothing behind him. Then he retracted his gaze and continued to walk forward, turning into the alley on the right.
After Lu Yan left, a dark figure appeared at the entrance of the alley. He was wearing a mask and a baseball cap, and his face was completely blocked, which made people inexplicably scared in this blurry rainy night.
step,
Two steps,
Three steps...
Lu Yan finally reached the downstairs of the community building. He took the elevator upstairs, fished out the key from his pocket and prepared to go into the house. However, just as he opened the door, he suddenly felt a strong force behind him and was pushed into the house violently.
"Bang!"
He lost balance and bumped into the table, and a gust of wind blew past his ears.
However, Lu Yan seemed to be prepared. He rolled on the ground, stood up quickly, raised his hand and grabbed the sharp blade that was originally stabbing at his back. The palm of his palm was cut by the dagger, causing a sharp pain.
Lu Yan stared at the man in black who had broken into his house with a sharp gaze, and uttered two words through gritted teeth: "Xue Jin!"
The man in black was startled when he heard this, but he immediately pulled out his dagger and stabbed Lu Yan, killing him with every strike. The rental house was filled with their fighting figures, and things were clattering. During the fight, Lu Yan's mobile phone accidentally fell to the ground, the screen cracked into a spider web, and a faint red light flashed in the upper right corner.
Xue Jin's skills were not as good as Yu Zechuan's, and he couldn't gain any advantage in the fight with Lu Yan. Seeing that time was wasted too long, he took out a syringe from his pocket while he was about to withdraw, and was about to stab Lu Yan's neck, but Lu Yan kicked him in the wrist, and the syringe flew out.
"You used this trick last time!"
Lu Yan spoke coldly, and with a flying blow, he pinned Xue Jin to the window. It was raining heavily outside, and half of Xue Jin's body fell out. The black baseball cap fell from the tall building, revealing his gentle but murderous eyes.
Lu Yan's palm was cut by the dagger, and blood flowed along the gaps between his fingers, bright red and dazzling. He grabbed Xue Jin's neck tightly, and the cold raindrops hit his face, diluting the gradually thick bloody smell in the air:
"What is your relationship with Yu Zechuan?!"
Xue Jin was stunned when he heard this. He gasped for breath and was forced to hold the edge of the window sill with both hands to prevent himself from falling. "Shouldn't you ask me why I killed you?"
Lu Yan has prepared for the worst-case scenario of restarting the game, but before dying, he must obtain some useful information, such as Xue Jin's identity, his side quests, and the 50-point reward:
"You killed me because you were afraid that I would call the police and expose Yu Zechuan. Now I just want to know what your relationship with him is."
Xue Jin asked in a hostile tone: "Why should I tell you?"
Lu Yan said half-truthfully, "I like Yu Zechuan. I want to know if you like him. Otherwise, why would you give up your bright future and seek revenge with him?"
Xue Jin probably thought that Lu Yan was a love-minded person, and his expression became extremely subtle for a moment: "What if I don't tell you?"
The rain outside poured in and soaked Lu Yan through. His jawline was tense, and his handsome face showed a certain indifference to human life in the dark night: "This is the eighth floor, you can try."
He deliberately relaxed his strength after he finished speaking. Xue Jin's body could not be controlled by gravity and fell down. His vision was spinning. The wind from the eighth floor made his face hurt. He was so scared that he shouted anxiously: "I said! Pull me up quickly!"
Xue Jin is a cunning businessman. He is not as resolute and strong as Yu Zechuan. Of course, he will not risk his life for a piece of "important but not so important" information.
Lu Yan grabbed his collar and pulled Xue Jin up a little, but most of his body still fell out: "You speak first!"
Xue Jin knew that he was too impatient and underestimated the enemy this time. He gritted his teeth silently and finally said reluctantly and with difficulty: "My mother..."
Xue Jin paused before uttering the rest of his sentence, his face looking particularly ugly: "My mother is Yu Zechuan's father's lover outside."
Lu Yan frowned slightly: "Are you the illegitimate child of the Yu family?"
Xue Jin laughed at himself when he heard this: "Illegitimate child? It would be nice if I really was an illegitimate child, but I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm just a bastard whose biological father is unknown."
Xue Jin's mother was a socialite. In addition to Yu's father, who was her financial sponsor, she also had many other lovers in the entertainment industry. She didn't know who she was having an affair with, but she got pregnant by accident. Because her body couldn't bear the abortion, she had to give birth to the baby.
At that time, Yu's father had just died in a car accident less than a month ago, and there was no evidence. Xue Jin's mother, for some reason, came to the house with her child and lied that it was Yu's child, and wanted a share of the property.
However, Mr. Yu was not stupid. He directly arranged for a doctor to do a paternity test for them. As you can imagine, Xue Jin's mother was scared away. She didn't even take the child with her when she left, and just left him in the hospital.
Xue Jin's eyes were dazed for a moment, as if he remembered something from the past: "I was originally going to be sent to an orphanage, but Master Yu asked an old employee of Yinchuan Group to adopt me. He knew that I had good grades, so he spent a lot of money to sponsor me to study abroad, and also let me call him Grandpa like Zechuan."
"My adoptive father was very good to me, and my grandfather was also very good to me..."
"But do you know what I saw when I returned from studying abroad? My grandfather died of a heart attack! My father was accused of embezzling billions of public funds and was forced to jump off the roof! All of this was done by Jiang Boyun!!"
Xue Jin's gentle face was distorted for a moment. It turned out that no matter how good-looking a person is, he would become unrecognizable if he was tainted with hatred. He stared at Lu Yan hatefully and said, "And you, you are his accomplice!"
"Lu Yan, you deserve to die just as much as Jiang Boyun!"
Xue Jin was an orphan, so this family relationship without blood ties was particularly precious to him. He had spent more than 20 years studying for his kind grandfather and diligent and down-to-earth adoptive father, and he had finally achieved something. However, before he had the chance to repay these people, everything was gone.
Jiang Boyun not only ruined Yu Zechuan's life, but also Xue Jin's.
Because of him, two young people who originally had a promising future embarked on a path of no return.
Xue Jin fell into complete silence after he finished speaking. At the same time, Lu Yan heard the cold prompt tone of the system:
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the side quest! ]
[Xue Jin's identity has been successfully discovered, and a 50-point bonus has been credited to your account. You can redeem the required items from the mall at any time! ]
Upon hearing this, Lu Yan was about to pull Xue Jin up from the windowsill, but at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the corridor, getting closer and closer, as if someone was rushing towards this side.
This building is about to be demolished. Lu Yan is the only person living on the eighth floor. Normally, no one comes here. Lu Yan remembered something and subconsciously looked at the broken phone on the ground. His pupils shrank slightly.
Oh no! It's Yu Zechuan!
