Lina then patted non-existent dust off her hands, slowly straightened up, and a strange smile appeared on her lips: "The kind of people I hate most in this life are beasts who can even hurt their own flesh and blood. Since you dislike children so much, then I'll help you eliminate any future troubles. How about it? You've never met such an understanding and kind person in your life, have you?"
Yi Tianran: "..."
Bounty hunter: "..."
That's so damn considerate!
Jack was bleeding profusely from his lower body, in excruciating pain, and unable to utter a single word.
He could only raise his bloodshot eyes and look at Lina with despair and collapse, as if he had never seen her clearly at all.
"What kind of look is that?" Lina suddenly stepped forward and stomped her foot hard on his chest. "Don't look at me like that. I'm just doing to you what you did to other women, using similar methods! You probably feel the same way they did back then!"
Jack felt a lump in his throat; he had never regretted anything as much as he did now!
Over the past thirty years, he has deceived countless women, always believing he had a keen eye for people. He never imagined that the day of his downfall would come so suddenly and so tragically.
Lina didn't even glance at him. She walked over to Yi Tianran, a pitiful look on her face. "Sister, thank you for reminding me and saving me from that scumbag. Could you please do me another favor and take me home? I'm just a weak and pitiful girl, and I'm a little scared."
Yi Tianran: "..."
If you hadn't done that incredibly bloody thing just now, I might have actually believed your lies.
This is definitely a black-hearted lotus!
But considering her mission was simply to escort the target home, wasn't it?
Just as she was about to agree, the female bounty hunter beside her said coldly, "I am the one your father sent. I'll give you a ride."
Lina hid behind Yi Tianran, then poked her head out and said, "Please take Jack to the hospital for me! I'll be held legally responsible if he dies."
Yi Tianran muttered under her breath, "So you know you'll be held legally responsible! Then why did you still dare to start a fight in the street?"
“It’s okay. As long as he doesn’t die, my dad can protect me. In places like this, the law isn’t that perfect.” Lina was clearly not stupid.
Yi Tianran: "..." This is really flirting with crime!
“No.” The bounty hunter wasn’t so easy to talk to. “My mission is simply to bring you back; I’m not responsible for anything else.”
Lena cleverly replied, "My dad must have said he wanted me to come back unharmed! If something happens to Jack and I go to jail with him, you'll lose out."
A hint of displeasure flashed in the bounty hunter's icy blue eyes.
In the end, she backed down for the time being, since the hefty reward was definitely hers.
...
On the way back with Lina, Yi Tianran asked curiously, "Can I ask you a question? Why did you choose to take matters into your own hands in the end? Was it because your feelings were toyed with, or for some other reason?"
Lina seemed to trust her completely, frankly saying, "I was deceived emotionally, which only proves that I was stupid. If that were all, I wouldn't have hurt him, but he didn't even spare his own flesh and blood..."
Back then, my mother died protecting me, and my father showered me with unwavering love and care, giving me the best of everything in the world. My parents' love was so pure and profound. I once swore that if I ever had a child, I would treat him/her a thousand times better, even at the cost of my life. But that beast doesn't deserve to have children!
Yi Tianran hadn't expected it to be for this reason.
Everyone has their own bottom line.
Although Lina can be naive and stubborn at times, there's no denying that she's a good girl.
After taking her home, watching her hug her father tightly and apologize to him with tears in her eyes, a faint smile flashed across Yi Tianran's eyes.
She probably will never have such a father-daughter bond in her life, but seeing other fathers and daughters reunited touched her heart.
After hearing the whole story from his daughter, the tycoon looked at Yi Tianran with newfound respect and said with great pride, "Yun Duan, you truly deserve to be called the world's number one detective! This 500 million reward is all yours."
Just as Yi Tianran was about to speak, a cold voice rang out from behind her, "I was the one who found your daughter first, so this reward should rightfully be mine."
The bounty hunter remained masked, dressed in black, wrapped up like a cocoon, leaving only his icy blue eyes visible.
At this moment, however, his eyes were filled with coldness.
“But you haven’t completed the task I assigned you.” The richest man said with a stern face, “You may be able to forcibly bring my daughter back, but you can’t hold her heart. If Lina doesn’t understand the true nature of that scumbag, she will be deceived again and again, and may even go on hunger strikes, rebel, or sneak out to run away with the scumbag.”
The bounty hunter coldly replied, "If this woman doesn't try to steal my credit, I'll kill that man. Then your daughter will never have the chance to elope with him again."
"What if Lina, in despair, chooses to commit suicide to join him?" The tycoon frowned deeply and said with dissatisfaction, "You have no idea how painful and devastating a woman who has just lost love can be. This kind of superficial treatment will only harm my daughter!"
"..." In an instant, a strong aura of ferocity surged from the bounty hunter, and her cold and murderous gaze fell on Yi Tianran, "You stole my credit!"
Yi Tianran shrugged innocently. "There's no such thing as first come, first served when it comes to doing tasks. You didn't finish, but I did. It's such a simple principle, don't you understand?"
She didn't intentionally want Versailles; after all, the bounty hunters did put in some effort.
At least, the other party held Lina back and helped Jack clean up the mess, didn't they?
Thinking of this, she took the initiative to speak up: "How about this, we split the reward equally, 250 million each, is that fair?"
The bounty hunter, however, didn't buy it at all. "What belongs to me, I will never share with anyone!"
Yi Tianran: "..." So domineering!
But she's not a saint!
She put in a lot of effort for this task, so it shouldn't all be taken by her for nothing!
"Alright." The tycoon seemed to think that they were being petty by fighting over such a small amount of money, so he waved his hand and said, "How about this, the 500 million is still from Yun Duan, and I'll give Black Rose an additional 300 million, how about that?"
Black Rose was the code name for this female bounty hunter.
This arrangement was already the most suitable one.
But--
