“I don’t have the habit of being friends with my ex-husband. Can you get to the point now?” Jian Xing’er said coldly.
“Alright!” Hou Junlai didn’t dare to say anything else and went straight to the point. “After you left my house, 1 planned to drive to the company, but I saw you driving behind Hou Cheng’s. I didn’t take it seriously at that time, but later on, I heard that Hou Cheng died tragically on the street.”
Hou Junlai continued, “1 don’t mean anything by it. I’m just curious, so I’m asking you.”
Jian Xing’er’s expression remained calm as she said, “I didn’t send anyone to kill him. Whether you believe me or not is up to you. At that time, 1 saw that he looked distracted, so I followed him for a while because 1 was afraid that he would take things too hard. Later on, when 1 saw that he didn’t have any intention of committing suicide, 1 left.”
Hou Junlai nodded. “1 believe you.” Actually, there were still many things that didn’t make sense, but he didn’t continue to ask. Since Jian Xing’er said that Hou Cheng’s death had nothing to do with her, he believed her.
“Since we’re done talking about business, I’ll leave now.” Jian Xing’er stood up and prepared to leave.
“Okay.” Hou Junlai followed behind her and the two of them left the cafe.
Half an hour later, Jian Xing’er returned to the Central Residence.
The moment she entered, she saw Shangguan Ding waiting in the hall. When he saw her enter, he grabbed her arm anxiously. “Hurry up and take a look. Something’s wrong with Qingchen.”
Jian Xing’er didn’t have time to ask further and hurriedly ran to the room. After pushing open the door, she saw Bai Qingchen lying on the bed with a pale face. The bodyguard behind him heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Jian Xing’er.
Jian Xing’er quickly stepped forward and began to take Bai Qingchen’s pulse.
When she tried to feel Bai Qingchen’s pulse, she frowned. Bai Qingchen’s condition was very strange, and his pulse was normal, just like an ordinary person’s.
However, if one observed carefully, they would discover that there was something strange about his seemingly normal pulse. His entire body was like an ice cube that could breathe, and the blood in his body barely flowed.
This was the first time Jian Xing’er had seen such a strange pulse. However, she was confident that she could cure him.
“Is Young Master’s condition serious?” The bodyguard behind him spoke for the first time, her tone filled with worry.
Jian Xing’er’s gaze swept past her. “Don’t worry, there’s no illness in this world that 1 can’t cure.” When the female bodyguard heard this, she looked suspicious. She still didn’t believe Jian Xing’er.
Jian Xing’er wasn’t in the mood to explain too much to her and she started to perform acupuncture on Bai Qingchen.
Jian Xing’er’s smooth actions shocked the female bodyguard. Now, she truly believed that Jian Xing’er was someone with capabilities.
A few minutes later, Bai Qingchen’s condition improved. Jian Xing’er stopped performing the acupuncture and wrote a prescription for the female bodyguard. “Follow this prescription to get medicine for your young master. 1 guarantee that he’ll recover within a week.”
The female bodyguard nodded and hurriedly ran out with the prescription.
After the female bodyguard left, Jian Xing’er covered Bai Qingchen with a blanket and returned to her room. Then, she picked up the list of killers on the bedside table. On the list that Shen Qiang had given her, there were eight killers. Hou Cheng and Guo Yongjie were already dead, so there were six left.
Jian Xing’er planned to get rid of these six people as soon as possible. If this continued, it was hard to guarantee that the other party wouldn’t get suspicious and go into hiding. At that time, it would be difficult to find them again.
However, these six people came from all walks of life. There was the chairman of a listed company, a wandering scavenger, and even a school teacher.
These identities were all disguises that they used in front of others. All of their hands were covered in blood. Only Shen Qiang could gather these people together. It seemed like she had to look for him again!
After making up her mind, Jian Xing’er drove straight to Sea City’s Second Hospital the next day.
“Hou Cheng and Guo Yongjie are already dead. 1 need you to help me gather the remaining six people. 1 want to deal with them in one go!” Jian Xing’er wasn’t in the mood to exchange pleasantries, so she went straight to the point when she saw Shen Qiang.
Shen Qiang was surprised. “I knew that you had the ability to kill them, but 1 didn’t expect you to act so quickly. It seems that working with you is the right choice. It’s a little troublesome, but don’t worry, 1’11 definitely do my best to help you.”
Jian Xing’er nodded. “Then I’ll wait for your good news.”
Shen Qiang was indeed very fast. A day later, he called Jian Xing’er. “Miss Jian, 1 found those six people, but 1 have to inform you about something else.”
“Tell me.”
“There’s someone called ‘Sixth Brother’ among the assassins. He’s been secretly following your ex-husband, Mr. Hou Junlai..”
