On a cruise ship in international waters, bigwigs from various countries gathered, and Mu Jin, a popular celebrity in the entertainment industry of country Z, was invited to attend.
Mu Jin's true identity is a mercenary agent of the international organization X.
She has been very satisfied with her life in the past two years. In her daily life, besides acting and having rumors with male stars, she occasionally takes on tasks that she considers challenging, just as a business trip to earn some extra money.
Mu Jin has fair skin and captivating peach blossom eyes. Deep within her eyes, there is always a hint of aloofness, as well as a touch of languid and detached allure. Today, she is wearing a black backless evening gown with a deep V-neck that plunges all the way to her waist, revealing her delicate and beautiful butterfly bones, which further accentuates her snow-white skin.
Mu Jin glanced around the entire ballroom, picked up a glass of champagne from a tray held by a passing waiter, and walked toward the dance floor. Her stunning beauty and curvaceous figure instantly attracted the attention of the guests.
Miss Mu, would you have the honor of dancing with me? The man who extended the invitation was Zoren, the youngest and most successful gun dealer in H country. He had a good figure and good looks; he was the kind of man you would take a second look at if you met him on the street.
This person was also her main purpose for coming to the ball tonight.
According to intelligence, Zoren is carrying evidence of the J-fire group's trafficking of J-fire tonight, which is contained in a miniature USB drive. If she can get the USB drive from Zoren, her mission will be complete, and she can leave this boring party as soon as possible.
Mu Jin smiled and offered her hand to Zoren.
Zoren held Mu Jin's hand with one hand and placed the other on her waist, gently pulling Mu Jin closer to him.
The two began to dance lightly on the dance floor. From a distance, their posture seemed undeniably intimate, but for Mu Jin, such close proximity made it easier for her to reach the USB drive. And the moment Zoren drew near her, she had already obtained it.
Zoren whispered near Mu Jin's earlobe, "Miss Mu, you are so beautiful."
Mu Jin raised an eyebrow and replied, "Thank you!"
Zoren continued, "Miss Mu, I fell in love with you at first sight when I first saw you in a magazine. It was only through a lot of connections that I was able to meet you here tonight. I wonder if I could have the honor of getting to know you better tonight?" The meaning behind his words was self-evident.
Mu Jin smiled shyly on the surface, but inwardly she rolled her eyes countless times. The words these men used to say to her were always surprisingly consistent.
Mu Jin couldn't help but think to herself, "Idiot, didn't he ever think about why a magazine with her picture on it would end up next to him?"
Mu Jin outwardly remained calm, but her face revealed a shy blush as she replied, "Okay~"
Zoren was overjoyed to see Mu Jin's shy expression in front of him, believing that it must be his charm that had won her over. Little did he know that Mu Jin had already lost all patience with him the moment she got the USB drive.
The two chatted for a while longer, until Mu Jin's patience reached its limit: "Excuse me, I'll go touch up my makeup and come right back."
Zoren said considerately, "I'll go with you?"
Mu Jin said shyly, "No need, I'll be right back."
Zoren appeared reluctant to part with her, and finally agreed with a heavy heart to wait for her at the venue, urging Mu Jin to come back to him soon.
As Mu Jin turned to leave, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Once outside the venue, Mu Jin quickly walked towards the stern of the tanker, where a speedboat was waiting to pick her up.
At this moment, Mu Jin was in a great mood and was thinking about whether she should take a break for a while or consider retiring early.
Mu Jin was an orphan since childhood, and she felt empty when she was alone. She liked lively atmospheres. After thinking about it, she couldn't help but laugh at herself. Right now, it would be more practical to think about how to escape.
As he thought about it, he quickened his pace toward the stern of the tanker. As he got closer to the stern, a group of people caught up from behind. It was Zoren and his bodyguards.
Sure enough, there aren't many stupid people in their line of work; their reaction was remarkably quick.
Mu Jin skillfully leaped over the railing at the side of the boat, and just as she was about to jump off the speedboat, a pistol was pressed against her temple.
Zoren's face turned fierce as he said to Mu Jin, "Mu Jin, this isn't fair of you. If you know what's good for you, give me back the USB drive, and I'll make sure you die a quick death."
Mu Jin chuckled softly and said, "Then I really have to thank you." Before Zoren could react, she quickly jumped into the sea.
Countless gunshots rang out on the sea. Mu Jin felt a sharp pain in her chest and cursed under her breath, "Damn it! I've been shot. I haven't even spent the money I've worked so hard to earn over the past few years."
Then he slowly lost consciousness in the pitch-black sea.
When Mu Jin woke up again, she found herself hanging on a tree trunk in the valley.
In the instant she regained consciousness, she could feel intense pain all over her body. She gasped softly, her head spinning. It took her a long time to slowly come to her senses.
She was forced by Zoren to jump into the sea, but unfortunately, she was shot. Now, however, she was a little dazed as to how she ended up hanging in a tree.
Mu Jin touched her chest, where she had been shot, but found the wound completely healed, making her wonder if she was dreaming.
At this moment, Mu Jin was not only in severe pain all over her body, but her stomach was also rumbling with hunger.
She saw ripe wild fruits hanging on the tree, some of which had been nibbled on by birds and insects. Thinking that birds and insects could eat them, she figured they wouldn't kill anyone, so she reached out and picked up a few, frowning as she ate them.
After resting for a while, she moved her limbs and found that she had regained some strength. She slowly climbed down the tree, but as soon as her legs touched the ground, her knees buckled and she fell back to the ground.
After a while, she realized that apart from the chirping of birds, there was no sign of human habitation around her.
She looked down and rubbed her knees, realizing that the clothes she was wearing were not the white evening gown she would wear to a ball, but a dress that was similar to Hanfu but even more exquisite.
She raised her hands and looked at them. Her fingers were slender and fair, and the translucent jade bracelet on her wrist made her hands, which had never been used to manual labor, stand out even more.
When Mu Jin has free time, she likes to stay in the gym to practice Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) and work out. After touching the gym equipment so much, her hands usually have some calluses, but these hands don't. This is unlike her usual hands, and Mu Jin is full of questions right now.
Mu Jin found a long branch about the thickness of her wrist beside her. She picked it up and, using the branch for support, slowly stood up.
She was feeling dizzy and needed to get out of the woods as soon as possible, find someone, and contact her organization. She desperately wanted to know what had happened while she was unconscious.
She walked a long way without encountering anyone. Ahead was a stream, and she walked towards it.
Her beautiful face was reflected in the stream. Although her hair was messy and her face had some scratches, it could not hide her beauty.
She cupped her hands in water and drank a few mouthfuls, cleaning the dirt off her face and hands. She stood up again, but whether it was from the sudden exertion or hunger, Mu Jin fainted again.
