, but that bastard killed him!"Then you should cherish your only daughter! Instead of doing something so horrifying!"Daughter Hmph, hmph... Daughter" Butler Xia repeated "daughter" twice, his express...The fat man wanted to make a move, but suddenly he remembered those eyes. He had never seen such eyes in his entire life.

This kind of gaze is definitely not something an ordinary person would have.

The fat man hesitated for a moment.

"Dead fat man, your personality is just so nagging!"

Jian Tong's heart was filled with anxiety as she watched Fatty hesitate on both sides.

Now the only one who can move is Fatty, and the leader of the thugs and the big guy are both badly injured.

"Let us go, and I guarantee I won't press charges about what happened tonight. Otherwise, you guys will be so badly hurt that you won't even be able to leave S city tonight"

As she spoke, she tempted them, "As for the money, I'll give you one million. You guys can split it. Otherwise..." She glanced at the person beside her, who was also badly injured. If they really continued to tangle with these people, anything could happen.

In a moment of panic, rationality gradually returned. Her eyes flashed with a sudden fierceness:

You have two choices.

First, let us go. I won't pursue tonight's matter. One million will be transferred to your accounts tomorrow. This way, we both benefit.

Second, I'll make a big scene. As soon as you leave here, I'll call the police and put up one million dollars for your arrest nationwide.

Of course, I'm not afraid of you guys being ruthless and killing us both, but you should think about it yourselves.

At least I'm a public figure of sorts. It's not right to die like this in an alleyway without explanation.

Both the media and the business world must give an explanation.

Where else could you run to then

"Think it through, this one million dollars. Are you guys taking it now and leaving, or are you letting someone else take it For the rest of your lives, you'll be hiding and running from people."

Jian Tong spoke with righteous indignation, her demeanor was imposing, but only she knew that her heart was pounding like a drum.

Only she knew, a layer of cold sweat in the palm of her hand.

She was gambling with these words.

The fat man seemed to shrink back: "Brother, I think we should just...give up…"

"Be quiet!"

The ringleader, eyeing Jian Tong's face with an uncertain gaze, said, "You've done such a thorough job. Aren't you afraid that if I get impatient, I'll just make things clean and simple"

"There was a win-win solution available, why did you insist on making it a lose-lose situation I can't help that." Jian Tong was incredibly calm at this moment, slowly speaking.

"I see you're a smart person too."

I do things for money.

I don't want you to reveal the buyer who hired someone to injure people, and second, I have already made concessions and tried to see things from your perspective. Even though several of you were injured first, I am still willing to give you one million dollars... Thinking about it this way,

Whether it's the face or the inside, you all have it.

Even a fool knows how to choose.

The leader's eyes, unpredictable and flickering between light and shadow, suddenly lit up in a smile.

Ms. Jian is enlightened! Since Ms. Jian has said so, even a fool knows what to choose.

We're not fools, you know.

Jian Tong's heart, which had been held tightly in her chest, finally fell. She wanted to take a breath, but she didn't dare relax. The other person smiled, and she followed suit with a nonchalant smile:

"So, we're in agreement then"

The more nonchalant she was, the more hesitant the leading hoodlum seemed to become. "Does Miss Jian keep her word How do we know you won't retaliate against us afterwards"

"I'm not that stupid, you're just after money. "

There's an old saying that goes, "A thief should be guarded against every day." If I were to report you guys later and seek revenge, and if there were even a slight mistake during the process, any one of you could slip away.

"For decades, I've kept a time bomb hidden in the shadows, waiting for the opportune moment to exact revenge on me"

Hearing this, the leader of the thugs finally put away his guard and gave Jian Tong a deep look:

Miss Jian is truly impressive.

In a few words, hit the nail on the head.

Today's events, Miss Jian, we brothers owe you an apology.

To Miss Jian Xia, all we can say is, we are impressed!

"Fatty, come here and give me a hand." After he said that, he called for Fatty to help. Several people stumbled away with each other's shoulders on their backs.

A long, long time ago

When they could no longer be heard outside, the wind blew and Jian Tong shivered violently... With a thump, he leaned against the wall, collapsing onto the ground in exhaustion.

"Tongtong, you're amazing."

She reached up to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, and as she looked up, she met a pair of eyes shining with admiration. A strange feeling washed over her... Shen Xiujin praised her for the first time.

Being stared at admiringly by Shen Xiujin, what kind of feeling was that ... Jian Tong reached out and pushed the head in front of her face away.

My hand was grabbed.

"Hey, TongTong, why are your hands so wet"

“…”

"Tong Tong, why are you sitting on the ground" The person chattered away, also preparing to learn from her and sit on the ground:

"This is so comfortable, I could just..."

"Be quiet!" Her head started to throb again, so she reached up and rubbed her temples.

That person was still chattering, "Tong Tong, is the ground comfortable"

Click... She swore she heard the distinct sound of her knuckles cracking.

Unable to bear the man's incessant prattle any longer, Jian Tong shot him a withering glance:

"My legs are weak."

"That..."

"Wait!" Jian Tong hurriedly interrupted him, "Are you wondering why my legs are weak" The man looked at her with surprise, his eyes clear and unable to hide his thoughts.

Seeing this, Jian Tong's eyelids drooped slightly. When she raised them again, a kind smile appeared on her face: "You just asked if the ground was comfortable"

"Yes, Tongtong, is the ground comfortable"

"Come here, yes, a little closer," she beckoned with a smile, kind and approachable like never before. In eight-year-old Shen Xiujin's mind, she was just a gentle and friendly older sister,

Look, the little sister smiles so beautifully, I can't get enough of looking at her.

"Mmm, yeah, still far. Let's get a little closer."

The little sister's smile is getting prettier and prettier.

"Come, sit down. You'll know if it's comfortable or not once you sit."

Jane pointed kindly to the side. The man opened his eyes wide and said, "Really" but then sat down anyway.

Jian Tong's face instantly turned bad: "Stand!"

"Ah…"

"Don't move!" Her face darkened, "Do you believe everything I say Think about it yourself, can sitting on the ground be comfortable"

"Whatever Tongtong says is right, I believe everything Tongtong says."

Such naive language, such clean eyes...such simple trust!

She was about to feel a surge of suffocating frustration.

"Whatever I say, ... you just believe whatever I say, right"

"Right! Tongtong said, 'Ah Xiu believes it!'"

She fell silent.

Silence reigned for a long, long time.

Until the man fidgeted nervously before her: "Tongtong, this ground... well, it seems a bit uncomfortable to sit on. It's cold."

He glanced back and saw that the person, when she was bowing her head and lost in her thoughts, had actually sat down on the ground as he told her to.

A trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes, gone in an instant, vanished without a trace.

“That... maybe it's because Axiu's pants are wrong today, that's why he feels uncomfortable. He can change to another pair next time.” The person thought she disliked him questioning her and added.

A flash of light disappeared in Jian Tong's eyes: "So, right or wrong, I said it, you believe everything"

"Well! Whatever Tong Tong says, Ah Xiu believes it, all his life!"

That man swore an oath.

Jian Tong lowered her eyes... This time, she remained silent for several dozen seconds before raising her hand: "The ground is cold, help me up."

That person stood up on their own, stumbling over to help her. The moment she touched him, he let out a hiss, nearly falling himself.

She suddenly remembered that this man was probably covered in wounds. Without a word, she supported his arm and limped slowly toward home.

"A lifetime... you idiot, what's a lifetime"

A lifetime... Beneath that ordinary facade, a voice roared, Don't trust him, he's an idiot.

She squeezed every bit of warmth from her body out, leaving none behind.

Expression, gradually returning to indifference.Yu acted as if he was reluctant. He mumbled, "Well...I guess so.""Alright, I have something to do here." Bai Yuxing hurriedly said a sentence and hung up the phone.Jian Tong yawned repeatedly, drowsin...
