Night fell, and He Li drove away from the Spirit Management Association building.
"Actually, I really don't understand, Xiao Yue, are you always this confident?"
Xiao Yue chuckled, then said with a serious expression, "Yes, the things I think about are the highest priority and most beneficial. Taking risks is not advisable. You know, good luck can't always be on your side." httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
He Li clicked his tongue. He was momentarily speechless. Xiao Yue truly embodied the saying: if you're not embarrassed, then others are.
Indeed, He Li was very embarrassed right now.
He Li didn't eat at the Spirit Management Association and went straight home, as he had something big to do that night.
Before doing anything major, it was necessary to go home and find some sense of security.
He cooked some egg noodles bought from the supermarket and had some mushroom mixed noodles sauce from the fridge to make do.
He Li ate his noodles while sitting on the sofa. Xiao Yue sat opposite Xiao Lan, arms crossed, with his long legs crossed.
He Li noticed that Xiao Yue truly had a scholarly air. Despite sitting in the same posture as Yan Ping and Jin Fang,
Yan Ping had the demeanor of a petty hooligan, while Jin Fang exuded the aura of a mob boss.
The strangest of them all was Jin Fang. At times, his aura was so powerful it sent chills down one's spine, and at other times, he was like a transparent person. He could be standing right there, but if you weren't paying attention, you could easily overlook him.
In Jin Fang's own words: "This is a basic quality of a professional killer."
He Li slurped his noodles.
Xiao Lan yawned idly on the sofa. The great god shouldn't have to wash dishes, as its paws were not meant for such tasks. Anyone with normal thinking wouldn't ask a dog to wash dishes.
"Xiao Lan, go wash the dishes."
The dog, just about to doze off, suddenly lifted its head. So, it really didn't have to wash dishes...
Xiao Lan jumped off the sofa and walked to the coffee table. He Li placed the plate and chopsticks on the dog's head.
Xiao Lan carefully tiptoed towards the kitchen.
*Snap.*
He Li lit a cigarette, watched the TV screen, and smoked in silence, slowly exhaling a puff of white smoke. He softly said, "He Jun, where are they?"
"At the Lan Hong Ting Hotel." A deep voice came from the right. The voice was slow and soft, but it carried an inexplicable aura.
He Jun appeared beside He Li at some point, sitting in the same posture as Xiao Yue, but with a different temperament. Two words surfaced in He Li's mind:
Dignity.
He Li suddenly felt that He Jun's presence was on a completely different level than that of ordinary people like himself.
He Jun wasn't handsome; he couldn't compare to He Li, nor to Jin Fang, let alone that preening Yan Ping.
But,
In front of He Jun, He Li and the others instinctively felt a head shorter.
He Li had seriously considered this matter and finally concluded,
Compared to He Jun,
They were not worthy!
"What do you plan to do?" He Li asked.
He Jun looked at He Li and slowly said, "What do *you* plan to do."
"What do you mean?"
He Li was bewildered. What could he do? He relied on them. Now He Jun was asking him, what could he do? Drive to Jinshui City overnight to find Captain Susan and beg for protection?
He Jun said, "The person is there. How to deal with them is up to you."
He Li froze and instinctively turned to look at Xiao Yue.
Xiao Yue nodded, as if he had known He Jun would say this all along.
The person is there, to be dealt with as I see fit?
In an instant,
He Li understood. He had always had a misconception about He Jun, believing that He Jun, like Xiao Yue and the others, would discuss matters with him and then use abilities and methods to solve problems.
However, the reality was that He Jun simply didn't care about these things!
Just tell him the decision after you discuss it.
If you still haven't made a decision after discussing, then what I say is the decision.
He Li fell silent for a moment and said, "Xiao Yue said we should go find them directly."
"Alright," He Jun nodded.
"Are you confident?" He Li asked worriedly.
He Jun tilted his head slightly, looking at He Li with a hint of confusion in his eyes. He retorted, "To crush a few bugs, what kind of confidence is needed?"
"......"
He Li was speechless again. He felt like his conversation with He Jun was not on the same wavelength.
Xiao Lan, having finished washing the dishes, just walked out of the kitchen when it suddenly froze. Its pair of silvery-white eyes stared at He Li, or more accurately, at the right side of He Li.
After a long minute of struggle, it lowered its body, tiptoed, and slowly retreated into the kitchen, then gently closed the kitchen door.
At this moment,
Xiao Yue spoke.
His gaze shifted between He Jun and He Li, then he said with a mischievous smile,
"This is as far as the plan goes for me. I won't interfere. Have fun."
Xiao Yue disappeared from the sofa after speaking. He Li rolled his eyes. What plan did you make?
Send Susan away—Find the person—Kill them.
A simple three-step plan. The first step was exchanged for He Li's life. The second and third steps relied on He Jun.
So, Xiao Yue, you scoundrel, what exactly did you do?
He Li grumbled inwardly at Xiao Yue.
"Shall we go now then?" He Li tentatively asked He Jun.
"Good."
......
......
The SUV drove on the road.
He Jun sat in the passenger seat, his right elbow propped on the car window, his palm supporting his cheek, quietly watching the road.
He Li's eyes occasionally glanced at He Jun. Finally, he spoke, "Mo Lin said there are three people: two ability users and one martial artist. They should all be stronger than Jin Chuan. How do you plan to deal with them?"
Facing He Li's question, He Jun replied without hesitation, "Just like in the forest, I'll kill them with my hands."
"Just with your hands?"
"I can also stomp them to death with my feet."
"No, I mean, aren't you going to use your abilities?"
"No need. You've only unlocked the first stage of the gene lock, and you don't have enough mental power to support me using my abilities. Let's leave it at that for now."
He Li nodded thoughtfully and added, "Actually, I'm very curious about what your ability is. Jin Fang said if you use your ability, everyone in this city will die."
He Jun turned to look at He Li and said, "Jin Fang is lying to you..."
He Li pouted and said, "I knew it. How could there be such a powerful ability? This city has over 4.3 million..."
"...Not just people," He Jun continued.
He Li's hands gripping the steering wheel tightened abruptly. He glanced at He Jun and said nothing. Just a second ago, he had dismissed his curiosity about He Jun's ability.
Or rather, he had temporarily dismissed his curiosity.
Lan Hong Ting Hotel.
He Li completely ignored the inquiring gaze of the receptionist and went straight to the elevator.
Sometimes it's like this: if you proactively strike up a conversation, you'll inevitably be questioned, and after a series of tedious procedures, the diligent and responsible receptionist will call them.
"Sir, there's a Mr. He Li looking for you.
Um... he said he's here to kill you. Should I call the police for you?"
It was simply ridiculous and laughable.
It's better to project the demeanor of a consumer, filled with the confidence of a customer. Don't ask, just assume... I'm paying.
