Chapter 493 Mentality Collapses, Two Big Shots Clash [2 Updates, Giveaway]
Upon hearing these four inexplicable words, An Roujin was taken aback, and the resentment in her heart deepened.
Her eyes were full of mockery, but a gentle smile still played on her lips: "Feng Mian, have you suffered a mental breakdown? What's next? I—"
An Roujin couldn't finish her sentence before everything went black.
Almost all the air was taken away, making it difficult to breathe.
An Roujin's mind was buzzing, and she had no idea what was going on.
She heard Wen Fengmian's voice again, still very calm: "Turn around. If you're mentally prepared, it won't be too suffocating."
Yunwu didn't give An Roujin time to react, and chopped her neck with a hand chop, knocking her unconscious.
After doing all this, he turned around, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Miss Ying."
"Find a basement, lock them up, and put some cockroaches and rats inside," Ying Zijing pondered for a moment, then said calmly, "And while you're at it, find two people to pretend to be ghosts."
"If she is still alive in five days, notify the Lin family."
Yunwu's lips twitched.
Miss Ying is truly ruthless.
An Roujin, that vicious woman, would either be scared to death or go insane.
Even if An Roujin has a strong mental capacity, they will still find professionals to make An Roujin suffer from a personality disorder.
Yunwu carried the sack away, looking relaxed and carefree.
The security guard at the villa complex saw it and even asked what it was.
Yunwu casually replied, "There's a lot of trash," then took out his phone with his other hand and sent two more text messages to Yunshan.
[Second Brother, the person you tried to recruit was a member of the Ji family, while I recruited the matriarch of the Lin family. It's obvious that the one I recruited is more valuable than the one you recruited, and Miss Ying even personally brought me here to recruit her.]
[Second brother, you don't get this treatment, aren't you angry? ^_^]
Yunshan was furious when he received the text message.
This is simply a case of not showing it on the surface, but being incredibly cunning behind the scenes.
Yunshan was very angry and complained to Fu Yunshen: "Young Master, look."
Fu Yunshen didn't look up: "Go play by yourself."
Yunshan: "..."
He broke down mentally.

An Roujin's disappearance was quickly discovered by the two guards.
They searched for a long time in the shopping mall where An Roujin often went, but couldn't find it. Helpless, they could only report back to the ancient martial arts world.
Even with her good temper, Lin Qingjia's expression darkened: "Mother doesn't have internal energy, how did you manage to do this?"
Both guards were speechless: "This..."
"Go and receive your punishment." Lin Jinyun was also very angry. "Send a guard team with me to search outside."
An Roujin's outstanding appearance suggests she may have encountered some misfortune.
Lin Qingjia began, "Father, I also—"
"It's getting late, and you haven't packed up your medicinal herbs yet." Lin Jinyun waved her hand to stop her. "Don't worry, I'll bring her back safely."
Lin Qingjia pursed her lips: "Okay."
Some medicinal herbs are only found in the ancient medical community, and she can only go to O Continent after she has collected all the herbs.
The middle-aged man also had his mercenaries help Lin Qingjia search.
Lin Qingjia smiled and said, "The physical fitness of this mercenary team led by Patriarch Taylor is really high, no less than that of a martial artist with twenty years of cultivation."
“That’s right. I wonder if Miss Lin has heard of Norton University?” The middle-aged man nodded. “My team of mercenaries was trained by one of their instructors.”
Lin Qingjia thought for a moment and said, "I know a little about it; it's the world's number one university."
“That’s not all. These are titles bestowed by ordinary people.” The middle-aged man said, “Besides that, there are truly world-class geniuses inside, especially those in the fields of astronomy, alchemy, and mechanics. The Taylor family alone has hired several diviners from the astronomy field.”
Lin Qingjia was slightly taken aback: "Astrology and alchemy too?"
A university actually offers this kind of course?
“Yes,” the middle-aged man said. “If Miss Lin wants, she can communicate with them when she goes to O Continent.”
After saying that, he sighed again, "It's a pity that all the geniuses in the mechanical engineering department have stayed on at the university, and we can't even hire them."
Lin Qingjia nodded, showing a greater interest in Norton University.
After collecting one medicinal herb, she went to find the next one.
**
Two days later, after helping Wen Fengmian secure several more experimental projects, Ying Zijin set off for O Continent.
Universal Pictures' headquarters are in Country S, which happens to be close to the Bevin family's territory.
Xie Manyu's movie started filming at the end of February, but Universal Pictures strives for perfection, and so far only two-thirds of it has been filmed.
Fans around the world were waiting anxiously, and Ying Zijing, as the CEO of Chuguang Media, was able to see some clips first.
"You go ahead." Fu Yunshen tidied her hair. "I'll be there in a few days."
Both of them are under the watchful eyes of many people and are frequent visitors to trending topics.
These days, paparazzi are very shrewd; a slight misstep can cause a trending topic to explode.
"Hmm." Ying Zijing nodded slightly. "Actually, it's nothing, you don't need to come along."
“I’m going to take care of some business too, see you in S country.” Fu Yunshen patted her head, curled his lips, and chuckled lazily. “Little girl, I’ve prepared a gift for you, something to help you sleep.”
Although the female secretary has become a member of the "miracle drug" couple, she is dutiful and will not reveal these things to anyone.
Watching the live-action version while others painstakingly edit their photos is so much fun!
In addition to her female secretary, Ying Zijing also brought two directors with her to Country S to inspect projects.
Universal Pictures naturally arranged the most luxurious hotel for them.
The female secretary was itching to know what gift Fu Yunshen had given Ying Zijin.
Only after entering the presidential suite did she tentatively ask, "Boss, may I look? I can pay you!"
This box is so big, almost two meters long, but it's not heavy. What's inside?
Ying Zijing thought about the boxes of children's books that Fu Yunshen had given her at the beginning, and figured he wouldn't give her anything too inappropriate.
She squatted on the ground, taking apart the device while replying, "No need, just watch."
The female secretary's eyes sparkled.
After Ying Zijing finished opening the box, she fell silent as she looked at the gifts inside.
A very large, life-size body pillow that feels great to the touch.
Its length is the same as Fu Yunshen's height.
The facial features are very detailed, almost indistinguishable from a real person's; I wonder which company made them.
Ying Zijing remembered that sleep aid phrase: "..."
She gripped the head of the cushion, her face expressionless.
The female secretary was very perceptive and immediately left, going to the next room.
She took out her phone and, with trembling hands, posted a Weibo message in the super topic of the "miracle drug couple".
Sisters, I think if they get together in the future, CEO Fu won't be able to beat Ying Shen.
Soon, many people started commenting.
[Is that even a question? Absolutely! Didn't Ying Shen single-handedly take on several grown men when he rid the people of this scourge?]
[Let's pause for a second in advance to mourn for President Fu.]
**
Presidential Suite.
Ying Zijing still placed Fu Yunshen's life-size body pillow on the bed.
She was sitting at the table when she received a call from Rita.
“My beauty, you need eighteen kinds of medicinal herbs, and I have found fifteen so far.”
Ying Zijing raised an eyebrow: "You're quite fast too."
As expected of the Bevan family, one of the four major conglomerates, they found so many rare materials in just three days.
She was indeed still very poor.
“I’ve also found the most important Fire Source Essence.” Rita frowned. “It’s in the hands of a group of mercenaries in the underworld, but they have one condition.”
Ying Zijing lowered her eyes: "What are the conditions?"
The underground world of O Continent is actually similar to the black market in China, but even more chaotic, and it is also a community for many hunters.
The term "underworld" has existed for centuries, and during her poorest period, she even participated in wrestling matches.
"They know you are the number one poison master and very capable. They said that as long as you kill the second most wanted person on the bounty list, they will give you the Fire Source Essence and an additional billion US dollars."
After saying that, Rita couldn't help but complain again: "The problem is, I can't find the whereabouts of the second most wanted person on the bounty list either, how am I supposed to kill him?"
"Second on the bounty list?" Ying Zijing opened her phone and logged into the NOK forum. "Let me see."
[Bounty List (Unit: US Dollars)]
No. 1: The Master Calculator, the bounty is too high to be displayed.
No.2: Devil, 200,000,000,0
Ying Zijing opened Devil's profile.
Number one on the assassin list, codename: Demon.
Below is a series of achievements.
In January 2016, Devil successfully killed the second-highest bounty on the leaderboard, rising to the top spot on the hit list.
In the same year, he killed three more notorious transnational criminals.
In February 2017, Devil killed a powerful elder of the Patch family and escaped unscathed, leaving no trace.
...
There were a total of 59 missions, with the last mission taking place at the end of 2019.
Devil has not appeared since 2020.
Ozhou is frantically searching for him, and the reward amount keeps increasing.
Ying Zijing glanced at her bank card balance again, lost in thought.
Wow, that's quite a lot of money. Should I accept it or not?
“I told them you have a bad temper and that they shouldn’t push their luck,” Rita said again. “But the Fire Essence is indeed hard to find; I estimate there’s only one piece in the entire O continent.”
Throughout history and across cultures, fire has always been associated with the suppression of evil.
Therefore, Fire Essence is an essential medicinal material for removing the toxins from the main body of the Bevin family.
Ying Zijing raised her hand and tapped the table: "Do they have a position in Devil?"
"We've made some progress and are investigating."
"Let's wait until they find out."
"Okay, I'll let you know if there's any news. I've given my father the medicine you sent, and his condition is stable for now."
Ying Zijing ended the call, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and changed her clothes before coming out.
She paused as she turned toward the bed, then opened the door and went out.
"Boss, something's happened." The female secretary was outside the door, on the phone. Upon seeing the girl, she choked up as soon as she spoke, "Actress Xie...she..."
Ying Zijing's eyes turned cold. Without asking for the address, she simply said, "Let's go."
I'll post a New Year's giveaway link in the 6 PM VIP group; this should be the last one before the series ends.
The prizes are: 10 cash red envelopes worth 9.99 each, 10 cash red envelopes worth 6.66 each, 1 custom-made thermos, 1 custom-made double pillow, and 2 quicksand keychains.
Many people didn't get a spot last time, but there are more available this time.
(International shipping is not available; additional postage will apply to remote areas.)
The lottery will be held at 9 PM on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.
The monthly pass event for Xiaoxiang is still ongoing. Not many people are participating, so it's relatively easy to get merchandise. =3=
