Chapter 619 Deeply Regretful, Face Hurts, Can't Compare [2 Updates]
Jiang Ran's expression brightened: "Dad, Dad, you're back after playing?"
For some reason, he always felt very safe whenever he saw Ying Zijing.
Ying Zijin glanced at him but didn't say anything.
But the meaning is clear—
Why haven't you been locked up yet?
Jiang Ran: "..."
The head of the Fan family was furious at being interrupted.
He looked at the girl, his expression darkening: "And who are you?"
Not only the head of the Fan family, but also the elders of the Ling family were seeing Ying Zijin for the first time.
Fu Yunshen intercepted Ying Zijin's portrait long ago, and no family could keep it.
But her appearance was too outstanding.
After looking at it for a while, the elder suddenly remembered the rumors that had been circulating these past few days.
Ying Zijin is now the leading figure among the younger generation in the field of ancient medicine.
She has excellent medical skills and is also good-looking.
Xie Nian was no match for her.
Could it be...?
“Master…Miss Ying!” Fu Chen’s eyes lit up. “I’ve been at the Ling family’s house for almost a day now, and I’ve finally found you.”
"Hmm." Ying Zijin said slowly, "Didn't you come here to sleep?"
Fu Chen: "..."
The elder finally regained his voice.
He stepped forward, his expression solemn: "May I ask if this young lady is Miss Ying Zijin?"
Ying Zijing slightly raised her eyes, her expression neither intimate nor distant: "You're too kind."
The First Elder was flattered and said, "It really is Miss Ying. The Ling family has failed to greet you properly."
"It's nothing," Ying Zijing said calmly. "We didn't come for the Ling family, so there's no need to greet us."
The Grand Elder's expression froze.
He could certainly understand what Ying Zijin meant.
Not for the Ling family, but for Ling Chonglou's faction.
With Ying Zijin around, Ling Chonglou's position as head of the family is unshakeable.
The head of the Fan family was incredulous: "You? You are Ying Zijing?!"
Ever since Ying Zijin's name spread throughout the ancient martial arts world, countless families have wanted to befriend her.
The Fan family naturally wanted to as well.
As long as we can get in touch with Ying Zijin, why worry about not having a traditional Chinese medicine doctor?
How could the Ling family know Ying Zijing, and even have Ying Zijing help them bring over ancient doctors?!
The head of the Fan family was in a daze and could barely stand.
"The affairs of the Fu family and the Heavenly Medicine Sect are none of the Fan family's business." Ying Zijin turned her head, her expression calm. "The Ling family may have ancient doctors, but the Fan family can do without them."
The head of the Fan family stood frozen in place, his head throbbing with blood.
In an instant, regret overwhelmed his heart.
I could barely breathe.
The head of the Fan family opened his mouth: "Miss Zijing, that's not what I meant, I..."
"I don't care what you mean, you've come here personally to pressure and coerce me, don't you have any shame?" Jiang Ran gained confidence. "Guards, throw this old bastard out!"
Ling Chonglou and Jiang Ran's status in the Ling family is different now than before.
Without consulting the Grand Elder, the guards seized the head of the Fan family and forcibly dragged him out.
The three ancient doctors that the Fan family head sent with his steward last time have also returned to the Heavenly Medicine Sect.
They had no feelings for the Fan family; they were just former business partners.
In their hearts, Ying Zijin naturally held a higher position.
The elder glanced at the girl's retreating figure: "How did you come to know Miss Ying? Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"Huh?" Jiang Ran asked, puzzled. "Didn't I say that all my high school classmates were very capable? She was one of them."
The elder was speechless.
He thought his high school classmates were just ordinary people in the secular world.
No matter how capable an ordinary person is, how capable can they be?
Now, the mere fact that Jiang Ran and Ying Zijin have a relationship has silenced everyone in the Ling family.
The elder's expression was complicated.
No one expected the Ling family to have such a day.
**
Inside the room.
Ying Zijing hugged her pillow and got into bed, glancing at the man in front of the computer: "What are you doing?"
“I’ve booked my flight to O Continent for next month, and I’ve also booked the hotel. Um—” Fu Yunshen paused, “and I also have a human-shaped body pillow, and some delicious desserts.”
Ying Zijin raised an eyebrow: "Sir, tell me, you've been so thorough, what's your plan?"
“It was premeditated.” Fu Yunshen walked over, propped himself up on the bed with one hand, and lowered his head. “How about you come with me to the Venus Group’s internal ball?”
The light reflected in his eyes, adding a touch of gentleness.
Ying Zijing avoided his gaze: "Okay, boyfriend."
Fu Yunshen pinched her cheek and chuckled, "My girl is so thoughtful."
Fortunately, he didn't want to associate with Ian and his group of single guys.
The phone rang at that moment.
Fu Yunshen glanced at it, then picked up the computer again: "Yaoyao, you rest, I'm going out for a bit."
Ying Zijin nodded: "Take care and get some rest."
Fu Yunshen went outside to the open-air garden at the back before answering the phone: "Hello?"
The person on the other end of the phone was a bartender.
“D, here’s the thing, there’s a bounty, a private one, posted through the NOK forum and sent directly to your inbox, but only the top 50 hunters on each leaderboard have accepted it.” The bartender lowered his voice, “So I heard about it from the underworld. Are you going to accept it? The bounty is for a six-year-old girl, and it’s worth a billion dollars.”
"Are you sick?" Fu Yunshen paused, then asked, "Or have you lost your mind?"
"Is there a difference between the two? No, I'm serious." The bartender almost fainted. "I know the bounties you take. The targets are always criminals or the Patch family's higher-ups. They're notorious and have no qualms about it."
"But this bounty is a billion US dollars, isn't that half of yours? Didn't you say you were going to buy candy for your kids?"
Fu Yunshen lowered his eyelashes and said calmly, "Ten billion US dollars to make me kill a little girl? Where's your conscience?"
The bartender was speechless.
Too.
Killing a child is incredibly cruel.
But a billion dollars is something not everyone can resist.
As far as he knew, the number of hunters who had accepted the bounty had already exceeded one hundred.
This figure is the same as the bounty offered for Fu Yunshen more than two years ago; it's an astronomical sum.
Even the bounty on Devil, the number one assassin, has over a dozen hunters in the top ten who dare to accept it, let alone this one.
Hunting the number one assassin, Devil, is obviously much easier than killing a little girl, and the money comes much faster.
No hunter bothered to find out who the little girl was or who she had offended.
They're just doing things for money.
Fu Yunshen asked, "Who issued the reward?"
“It’s an anonymous bounty, we don’t know the details, but it’s a huge sum.” The bartender thought for a moment and then tentatively said, “Judging from the way they’re throwing money at people, it’s either the Venus Group or the Laurent family.”
"Aren't you a high-ranking executive at Venus Group? This could very well be a revenge killing by your CEO, with a bounty of one billion US dollars."
Fu Yunshen was too lazy to waste any more words with him: "Hang up."
He was so bored that he decided to kill a little girl.
But the bartender's words reminded him that he was also curious about who had posted the bounty.
Fu Yunshen opened the NOK forum and logged into Devil's account, and found a private bounty in his private inbox.
Aside from the reward amount, there was only one photo.
This photo is a picture of someone's back.
Aside from the clothes, it has no other distinguishing features.
Isn't this just guesswork?
Fu Yun's deep-set eyebrows twitched slightly.
Below the photo is a string of gold characters, which is the name.
Sinai Leaangle
Fu Yunshen was silent for a few seconds, then typed in a program.
A few seconds later, a pop-up window appeared.
The signal has disappeared.
It's not that we can't crack the IP address of the person who sent the anonymous bounty letter; it's that the IP address has disappeared.
Or it may have been completely blocked.
Similar methods exist in the ancient martial arts world, because the ancient martial arts world is an independent space.
In places like this, if they are completely sealed off, even a signal transmitter will be useless.
Fu Yunshen's eyes darkened.
It seems to be related to that mysterious place again.
Leinger.
After writing down the name, he closed his laptop.
**
The Fan family.
The head of the Fan family was frightened at the Ling family that day and returned to his family in a sorry state, feeling quite uneasy.
He waited anxiously for two days, but when he saw that the ancient doctor of the Fan family had not been disturbed and was still quietly stationed at the Fan family, making house calls and treating patients, he felt relieved.
But early this morning, before he could even react, the ancient doctors of the Fan family all took their leave.
Not a single one was left.
The head of the Fan family realized that something was wrong and was about to rush to find the elders.
Before he could make a move, an old man walked over.
He raised his hand and slapped the head of the Fan family across the face: "You bastard!"
The head of the Fan family was knocked to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face deathly pale: "Ancestor... Ancestor..."
Oh no, this matter has actually alarmed the ancestors of the Fan family who have been living in seclusion!
"Before you took action against the Ling family, could you at least do your research? Huh?" the old man said, exasperated. "The Ling family and Ying Zijing have a close relationship, and you didn't even know about such a big thing?"
The head of the Fan family dared not raise his head, his voice trembling: "Ancestor, it's not that we didn't investigate, it's just that the young master of the Ling family met Ying Zijin in the secular world, which we never expected."
Who would bother to investigate worldly affairs?
"That's no excuse!" the old man roared. "What are we going to do now that my Fan family has lost its ancient healer?"
Without the ancient physician, the overall strength of the ancient martial arts families has also been greatly diminished.
The other prominent families were all watching the Fan family make a fool of themselves.
The head of the Fan family trembled and kowtowed repeatedly, pleading, "Ancestors, spare my life! Spare my life!"
The eldest elder of the Fan family walked in, his face also looking grim.
He pondered for a long time and said, "Then Ying Zijin could not possibly have absolute power in the ancient medical field."
“Ancestor, here’s what we’ll do: we’ll go to the Lin family and offer a large sum of money to Miss Qingjia. With her connections in the Tianyi Sect, she’ll definitely be able to help us hire an ancient doctor.”
Ying Zijin was merely an ancient physician.
Lin Qingjia practices both ancient medicine and ancient martial arts.
There is still a gap.
Many people are curious about what fragrance Fu Yun Shen is wearing. Atelier Cologne has a perfume called Jade Agar.
I have no drafts saved up, honestly, my arm is badly injured and I can't afford to have any drafts saved up :)
