106 Acting
The next day at school, Shi Man received Sean’s message in the car.
“Boss, we’ve successfully obtained their trust. I’ll bring them along for this mission. You can decide on the location.”
Shi Man moved her legs indifferently. The silver gun at her waist was cold to the touch. “Just choose a place with no one around. Remember to act realistically. If they find out and cut off my source of income, I’ll cut off one of your kidneys to make up the shortfall.”
Sean couldn’t help but shiver. He instantly gazed into the air in front of him with respect. “I understand, Boss. Don’t worry, I won’t mess it up for you!”
“Yes.” Shi Man hung up the phone and parked the car steadily by the roadside. Ignoring the shocked gazes of the students outside, she walked into the school elegantly and calmly.
In today’s class, the students had long lost their enthusiasm for studying. All of them lowered their heads and did their own things under the table, making Geng Hui, who was on the podium, sigh uncomfortably.
Looking at the pair studying seriously at Shi Man and Su Tang’s table, he felt a little better. He cleared his throat and started the lecture.
After school, Su Tang hurriedly followed Shi Man and asked tentatively, “Did you go to the Yi family yesterday?”
“Yes.” Shi Man nodded and raised her eyebrows in confusion. “What’s wrong?”
Could it be that she was jealous because she went to see Yi Zheng again?
Unexpectedly, Su Tang only shook her head slightly. Her tone was actually filled with joy. “Last time at the Shi family, I could tell that Brother Yi treated you very differently from others. If he can really fall in love with you, your engagement will be legitimate.”
Shi Man was a little annoyed when she heard her talk about them falling in love. She frowned and glared at her impatiently. “If we become legitimate, what will happen to you?”
Su Tang was stunned for a moment. Her face suddenly turned red under her fixed gaze. She stammered and lowered her head to whisper, “I… of course I’m wishing the two of you well. What can I do?”
When she spoke, her eyes kept moving left and right unconsciously, as if she had encountered a difficult problem and needed to consider it carefully before answering.
“Oh, I’m not interested.” Shi Man swung her backpack over her back and held the lollipop in her mouth. Her voice was blurry. “If you want to marry, get married yourself. I don’t want to be tied down by marriage.”
“Huh?” While Su Tang was in a daze, Shi Man had already walked away quickly. She didn’t know which sentence touched Shi Man’s nerve, but she could only lower her shoulders in dejection and walk to the self-study room to continue revising her homework.
Last night, she stayed too late in the self-study room, so she missed Shi Man. Su Tang thought that she had to speed up her revision in the future so she might be able to meet Shi Man again in the Yi family one day.
At the school gate, Shi Man had just opened the car door when she felt a surprised gaze coming from behind. She sneered and threw her backpack onto the front passenger seat. She started the car and put it in gear. As the accelerator hummed, her lips curled into a cold smile as she drove quickly towards the alley away from the crowd.
The car behind her chased after her relentlessly. Only when it followed her further and further away did the scar-faced man, who was holding the steering wheel tightly, ask suspiciously, “Did she discover us? This doesn’t seem to be the way to the Shi family.”
“This is a shortcut.” Sean sat in the passenger seat and casually said, “Take care to maintain the distance between the cars. You’ll be easily discovered if you’re too close.”
“Okay, okay.” The scar-faced man glanced at the special pistol Sean took out from the corner of his eye and could not help but be a little shocked. “Where did you get this? Can you show it to me?”
“What are you looking at? Focus on driving. We’ll take action at the next intersection.” Sean stepped on the cigarette butt and coldly loaded the gun. He frowned and opened the window, firing accurately at the back tire of the car in front.
Shi Man glanced at the head that was revealed behind her on the right and curled her lips coldly. She turned a corner and cleverly let the bullet enter the cement wall. The car continued to drive in the alley unscathed.
“Damn, why did you turn slower just now!” Sean shied away from the responsibility without blushing and criticized the other party’s leader mercilessly.
In the back row, the scar-faced man’s lackey, Shou Hou, couldn’t help but grit his teeth and slap his thigh. He said regretfully, “If that shot just now had hit its target, this woman’s car would definitely have stopped. Boss, you turned a little slower just now. Next time, you have to keep up with the speed. This woman’s driving skills are very impressive!”
“I know! Shut up!” The scar-faced man couldn’t take it anymore and roared, “If you continue to talk, you’ll be the one driving next time!”
Shou Hou quickly shut his mouth, hoping that his boss would cooperate well with Sean next time and not embarrass himself.
Just as the car was about to leave the alley, the car in front suddenly stopped at the corner. Sean and the scar-faced man looked at each other and got out of the car with their pistols. They carefully leaned against the wall and eavesdropped on the commotion behind the corner.
Shi Man waited for a while and loaded the gun casually, but she was not in a hurry to attack.
After a long silence, the scar-faced man was the first not to be able to hold back. He took out his pistol and shot around the corner.
