"No problem," Lu Jinzhao wiped his mouth gracefully and threw the tissue into the trash can. He covered his right hand with his left hand and twirled the ring on his finger. "Tell your father to withdraw the negative article about me and hold a press conference to publicly declare that I had nothing to do with Huo Er's incident. This incident was purely an accident."

Huozhou: “…”

"It doesn't matter if you don't cooperate. I have plenty of time to spend with you. But if I find out something else during this period, such as your Huo Group's large-scale bribery, I can't guarantee that it won't be leaked."

Huo Zhou gritted his teeth and said, "Did Ruan Kang tell you?!"

"Yeah. How could he possibly withstand Ji Lianhuai's torture? Of course he told you everything."

"You're so cruel! I'll make a note of this!"

"Remember to pay for your meal, Mr. Huo."

"Why didn't I add some poison to you?"

Huozhou left with a flick of his sleeves, and the door slammed against the door frame.

Lu Jinzhao looked at the table full of delicacies from land and sea, most of which were untouched. He asked the waiter to pack them up and prepared to take them home to rinse them and feed his little stray dog.

Yipinju's take-out boxes are not disposable, they are very durable. He put the food in the trunk of his car and drove back to the courtyard.

When they arrived at the intersection, there were not many cars around, but a large truck rushed out from the left side of the road and drove straight towards this side. The distance was very close, so close that when Qiansui's warning sounded, Lu Jinchao had already seen the car.

He decisively stepped on the accelerator and ran a red light. He started just in time, causing the lifting tail wing to be slightly deformed and the taillight to be scratched. He did not stop and drove away.

Chitose: "Damn it! Do you know that this light and spoiler are very expensive? They even have to match the goods!! The sports car is awesome, the starting speed is amazing, otherwise the car would have been destroyed and everyone would have died... You destroyed the car and others died."

Lu Jinzhao's eyes became sharp: "I will make the Huo family compensate me a hundred times later."

"They are really quick. Huozhou has just left and they have already arranged the murder... I don't think they will just come this time. You have to be prepared. I have already found out who the truck driver was. Do you want to take a look now?"

"Looking for minions is useless, so of course we should go directly to the mastermind behind the scenes."

He handed the lunch box to Ah Shen and went back to his room to buy weapons. China banned guns, but he could buy them in the system space.

"Open the practice room."

"The practice room is open, have fun."

Huo Zhai.

Huo Bufan had just fallen asleep when he heard a woman sobbing. He was awakened but didn't want to open his eyes. He recognized the voice of his wife Tong Jinghao, but thought she was crying for her unconscious son and didn't take it seriously.

After several minutes, the woman's sobbing became louder and louder, and he turned over impatiently: "Why are you crying! Are you going to sleep or not?"

Tong Jing was obviously excited, screaming "ah ah" as if her mouth was covered.

Huo Bufan felt something was wrong. He opened his eyes and sat up, and saw Tong Jinghao tied to a seat, facing the bed, with a towel stuffed in her mouth and sealed with black tape, anxiously warning him.

A cool metal pressed against his head.

Huo Bufan stiffly tilted his head to look, startled: "You! How did you get in!?"

Lu Jinzhao moved a chair to the head of his bed and sat upright on it, supporting his chin with one hand and pointing a pistol at him with the other hand. His face, which could rival that of a god, was full of smiles, yet it made people shudder.

"It doesn't matter how I got in. You should know why I came."

"I don't understand what you are talking about." Huo Bufan put his hand under the pillow: "If you dare to shoot, don't even think about walking out of here safely today!"

Lu Jinzhao bent his fingers and turned his palm over. Like magic, a small remote control appeared in his hand: "Are you looking for this?"

Huo Bufan's face changed. That was the alarm he installed in the house. When pressed, it would immediately wake up all the security guards around the villa and automatically call the police.

Chitose thought he might not be very smart. What's the point of calling the police after someone breaks into the house? By the time the police arrived, his body was already cold.

Lu Jinchao sensed Huo Bufan's momentary nervousness and fear, and his smile deepened a little, "Let me help you press it."

In front of Huo Bufan, he pressed the remote control dozens of times, but there was no response in the room and no sound could be heard outside.

"It seems to be out of order." Lu Jinzhao casually threw the remote control into the kettle on the bedside table. "So, Mr. Huo, do you have any other tricks to save your life?"

Huo Bufan's face was solemn and he said nothing.

"Nothing to say?" Lu Jinzhao slid the safety off with his thumb, loaded the bullet, and pressed it against Huo Bufan's temple: "Then prepare to die."

Huo Bufan panicked and raised his hands high: "Wait, wait a minute! I don't know how I offended you...you?"

Lu Jinzhao tilted his head: "Playing dumb?"

"No, no, I'm not playing dumb! I really don't know!"

Tong Jinghao, who was tied up on the side, became even more excited. She struggled to knock over the chair, and changed from a sitting position to lying on the ground, squirming with difficulty.

Being interrupted by her, Lu Jinchao didn't pull the trigger. Huo Bufan took the opportunity to jump off the bed and ran to the door, shouting, "Someone come! Someone come!"

"Bang——" Lu Jinzhao shot him in the right thigh.

Huo Bufan wailed as he fell to the ground, holding his thigh which was bleeding profusely, and shrank back in fear. He didn't know if the cold sweat on his face was from the pain or fear. The bright red blood immediately stained the carpet beneath him.

Chitose whistled, "Cool! Is this the result of your training in the practice room last night? Really accurate."

Tong Jinghao seemed to be tired of struggling, and pursed on the ground twice, shedding tears. Huo Bufan tore off the cloth of the pajamas leg, tied it tightly around the bullet hole with trembling hands, and looked at Lu Jinzhao viciously: "You must have a reason to kill me!"

"You shouldn't have looked like this when you hired someone to run me over with their car."

"What?! Hiring someone to kill you? I didn't do that! I didn't do it! No, I did prepare to deal with you, but not in a car accident! I haven't even used it yet!"

Lu Jinzhao reached into the inner pocket of his coat with his left hand, pulled out a bunch of photos, and threw them in Huo Bufan's face. "So you admit that you have the intention to kill me."

Huo Bufan looked at the photos on the ground, and he knew what was going on. Lu Jinchao was going to blame him for everything, whether he was the one who did it or not, to avenge his anger at Huo Mian. He shouted, "I was wrong! I won't dare to do it again! I'm willing to pay for my life! How much money do you want? Just tell me! Or you can set the conditions! I will never refuse anything within my ability!"

Damn it, are those security guards dead? How could they not hear such loud gunshots? Why haven’t they come to help yet? If help arrives, he won’t have to endure this!

"Spending money to buy my life... is fine." Lu Jinzhao sat back in his seat, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the armrest. "I need to replace the rear wing and headlights of my car, which costs 570,000 yuan in total. But I don't like accident cars, so you have to compensate me with a new car."

"Sure! Sure! How much is your car? I'll write a check right now."

"Ten."

"......" Huo Bufan's temples were throbbing. If his life wasn't in danger, he would have really cursed. He took a deep breath to calm down, and nodded vigorously: "Okay! Ten cars!"

Lu Jinchao picked up the computer that Huo Bufan had placed on the coffee table beside him, tapped on it a few times, and entered a few strings of zeros, a total of 64 million. He placed the computer in front of Huo Bufan: "Enter the password and transfer the money."

Huo Bufan felt so painful that his flesh was bleeding, and he reluctantly entered the password. When he was safe, he must report to the police with the surveillance and transfer records! This amount is enough to put Lu Jinchao in jail for life! In addition to the charges of illegal possession of guns and burglary, execution is a light sentence!

Chitose made an OK gesture with her short cat paws: "The money has arrived!"

With it, money transfers are fast, and the source and destination of money cannot be traced. Huo Bufan's desire to turn the tables is sheer wishful thinking.

Lu Jinchao squatted down, turning the gun on his index finger for a few circles. He smiled and pressed the muzzle of the gun on the bloody hole where Huo Bufan had just been injured, and pressed hard, "First, wash off the dirty water you threw at me, including the one that is about to be thrown at me. Second, take good care of your two sons, otherwise you will be ready to send your sons to their graves. It just so happens that you don't have grandchildren yet, right? Don't blame me if you don't have any descendants by accident. Third, if I find any tricks again, notice that I said 'any tricks', as long as they have anything to do with your Huo Group, I will assume that it is your instruction. By then, even if you give me 600 million, I can't buy your life."

Huo Bufan was in so much pain that he couldn't make a sound and could only nod his head vigorously.

"Of course, I know you can't come up with 600 million in working capital." Lu Jinzhao withdrew his hand and laughed sarcastically: "You are poorer than me, but you want to kill me. I don't know who gave you the courage."

Huo Bufan's face turned red and green, more colorful than a color palette.

Lu Jinchao wiped the blood from the muzzle of the gun on Huo Bufan, and after wiping it clean, he put it into his belt at the back of his waist, ready to leave through the window as he did when he came. He glanced at Tong Jinghao, who was lying on the ground in a state of embarrassment, and pulled out the dagger he carried with him and walked over. Tong Jinghao shrank back in fear, but the chair behind her was stuck in the corner of the wall, and she could not retreat any further.

Huo Bufan yelled, "What are you doing! Don't hurt her!"

However, Lu Jinchao just made a cut on the rope that was so thick that it bound the person like a silkworm pupa, and said coldly: "Go and pupa yourself."

After saying that, he turned over and jumped off the windowsill.

Huo Bufan quickly moved to Tong Jinghao's side and untied the rope for her, "Quick! Call the bodyguard! Call the police! Dial 120!"

Tong Jinghao brushed away the hair stuck to her face by sweat and nodded: "Okay, okay."

She quickly flipped to her bedside cell phone, but after a round, there was no signal. Huo Bufan said impatiently, "Go downstairs and call the servant up!"

That night, the Huo family villa was in chaos and no one could sleep all night.

Huo Bufan believed that the bodyguards were not doing their job well, so he fired them all and found a professional security company to hire a new group of people and install a new security system.

When Mr. Huo heard that it was Lu Jinchao who did it, he was very angry, but they checked the entrance surveillance and tracked the transfer records from multiple sources but found nothing. It seemed that everything that happened last night was just a nightmare that Huo Bufan and Tong Jinghao had together.

If the gunshot wound had not been so horrific, they would not have believed that Lu Jinchao had such great ability to come and go without a trace.

Mr. Huo pondered for a moment, finally sighed, and patted Huo Bufan on the shoulder: "Let's end this matter here."

"Dad! Are we just going to let him go like this?" Huo Bufan couldn't believe it.

"You can't do anything to him now! Do you think I'm willing to swallow this anger? We can only look for an opportunity, and when he falls, it won't be too late to trample him to death. How many clean people are there in the entertainment industry? He is mixed in such a big dye vat, sooner or later he will be assimilated! Are you still afraid that you won't have the opportunity to deal with him by then?"

"A little impatience will ruin a big plan."

"Yes, I understand, Dad."

When Lu Jinchao got home, the kittens were already asleep.

The sound of even breathing came one after another.

He put them into the cat bed one by one, took off his clothes and threw them into the dirty clothes basket, then stood up and walked into the bathroom. The shower head sprinkled water, he raised his head to wash his face, brushed all his hair back, and slowly opened his eyes, with tiny water droplets hanging on his eyelashes, as if the goddess of beauty had descended.

Chitose covered his eyes with his paws and peeked through the gaps between his paws: "Hehehe..."

Lu Jinzhao raised his hand, absent-minded, a rare sight.

Seeing him like this, Qiansui stretched out his claws and touched his face: "What's wrong with you, brother Chao?"

Lu Jinzhao stretched and clenched the five fingers of his right hand repeatedly, "My hands started shaking when I was about to shoot."

"You hesitated?"

"I was excited. I've never killed anyone before, but the moment I fired the gun, I was terribly excited."

"Maybe it was influenced by the original setting? Aren't assassins just assassins? They may not like killing people, but they are definitely used to killing people."

"And even if you really killed Huo Bufan, I still think you were right. He was the first to kill you, and you were acting in self-defense. You just eliminated him before he attacked you next time to avoid the risk in advance."

"Is it because you feel that this is too real that you can't treat killing people as killing monsters in a game, so you are hesitating now? I know you are kind by nature, but if this is the end of the world, you will only hurt yourself if you are soft-hearted."

"Just this once." Lu Jinzhao's eyes became firm: "Next time I will shoot without hesitation."

"Yeah, that's you. You said you wanted to treat this place as a game, so it's a game, nothing else. Everything that stands in the way of our ultimate goal is an obstacle, and we have to either flatten it, crush it, or pull it out. That's the you I know."

Qiansui hugged Lu Jinchao's face with his paws and rubbed it. Cats are afraid of water, and they don't want to get their fur wet, so they don't show up. But Lu Jinchao still seems to feel the soft fur on his face, which is a bit itchy.

"Yes. I believe that after this incident, the Huo family will be at peace for a while. Now that we have found the suspect, we don't have to wait passively any longer. Once we hear from Ji Lianhuai, we can start preparing for the final dinner."

"I hope Ji Lianhuai can help. Otherwise, he will just be a mobile money jar the whole time. You have to do all the hard work. This is a terrible feeling. By the way, I just saw the news that the truck driver was silenced. Excuse me, he deserved it. This desperado will be killed sooner or later."

"Huo Bufan did it?"

"Mr. Huo did it."

"Heh, the old guy is quite good at saying one thing in front of others and another behind their backs."

"By the way, I didn't detect any system fluctuations in the Huo family. Oh no, I can't do that. You wash yourself. I'm going to go out for a walk. I'm still a baby! I can't watch such exciting things!"

Lu Jinzhao: What’s the excitement of taking a bath alone?
