Chapter 40: The Bloody Hunt Begins

silent, a sharp pain in his chest. He wanted to pull it out, but even touching it ripped through him with agony."Lu Mingchu... how are you doing""Well, that's good."A pang of pain flashed in his eyes,...The taxi pulled up to the East Imperial Hotel. Jian Tong got out and stood at the entrance of the East Imperial International, a building where even the exterior renovations seemed understatedly luxurious. 。She didn't rush inside. She raised her hand, meticulously smoothing out the wrinkles in her clothes until they were perfectly neat and tidy. She tore away the bandage on her forehead, smoothed down her bangs, and covered the scar that had been stitched three or four times. 。After everything was ready, she straightened her back. The spine that had been bent for three years also tried its best to straighten up. Jian Tong looked straight ahead and walked into the brightly lit Dong Huang International. 。Behind her, a sapphire blue Ferrari was parked at the entrance of Donghuang International. The car window slowly rolled down, revealing a face that could be described as stunningly beautiful. This man was the stranger who had observed the entire conversation between Qin Mumumu and Jian Tong in the hospital. 。 At this moment, on that stunning face, a pair of phoenix eyes were gleaming with the excitement and... bloodlust of a hunt!“Jian Tong” His gaze remained fixed on the gate of the Donghuang. After a while, he slowly took out his phone from his suit pocket and dialed a number: He lazily asked into the phone: “Lu Chen, have you ever seen the most beautiful woman” The other end of the phone was silent for a moment, without answering his question, but instead pondered, "Who has become your prey again" Here, the man burst into laughter: "You still know me..." 。“What kind of woman is she” Lu Chen never expected that his best friend would be interested in Jian Tong, whom he had only met once. 。It's not Lu Chen's fault, after all, the man's usual tastes are high-class. Who would have thought that this time his taste would be so heavy "Ah Chen, she is the most interesting woman I've ever met. I think in these three months back home, it won't be boring at all." 。At the other end of the phone, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, raising an eyebrow slightly: "Such a high evaluation" Three months You have to know that so far, the longest hunt this guy has ever had was only two months. 。A very interesting woman, the most contradictory woman I've ever met. 。Infinite humility, infinite pride 。Have you ever seen anyone who could portray humility as proudly as the sun Unless it's a pride buried deep within their bones. 。I'm very curious, what kind of person or event could have transformed such a proud woman into her current state 。 。Lu Chen was inexplicably terrified. He had known his best friend for over a decade, and he had never heard such words from him before, “You can just…” 。He still believed his dearest friend was rational: "I won't stop you, Kane" 。But you have to understand, one should not toy with people's hearts. 。Know when to stop. 。The stranger, also known as Kane, chuckled without speaking and ended the call. 。Got off the car, slammed the door shut, raised his foot, and headed towards Donghuang. 。

“Why is she here again Wasn't she feeling unwell”

“Don't worry about her, she isn't one of us>>> " 。"That is, it's said that Qin Mumu lives with her and there are many conflicts. " 。"No matter how much conflict there was, she ended up getting sick. Wasn't it Qin Mumumu who took care of her every day" Jian Tong just arrived at Donghuang and entered the Public Relations department. Along the way, she heard many people whispering behind her back. Now, her state of mind could be described as numb. 。She's not stupid. She knows exactly who is behind these rumors spreading around. 。For the truth, I'm afraid no one would care. 。So, does it matter whether I say anything or notAs for the gossip and rumors behind this, I simply choose to ignore them. Pushing open the door to the lounge, I find a quiet corner to sit in. 。But all around, there was a constant murmur of whispers, and all sorts of curious stares. 。Instinctively, Jian Tong lowered her head and touched her temple... it hurt. 。She simply covered the scar with her bangs more securely, of course, not for Qin Mumumu, but for herself. She needed money, a lot of it. 。Compared to the other members of the public relations department, Jian Tong was like an odd duck, but even so, she still sat quietly in the corner, waiting, perhaps for a wealthy patron with unusual tastes. 。"Jian Tong, come out " 。The manager of public relations stood at the door of the lounge, his face impassive as he called out to Jane. 。The surrounding gazes "swished" all at once, brightening with anticipation as they all waited to see Xiao Tong get scolded. 。Jian Tong hesitated and stood up, walking towards the Public Relations Manager while slowly asking:"Manager Xu, is there something wrong I wasn't feeling well a while back, and Qin Mumumu... asked for leave for me." 。But the public relations manager Xu simply couldn't bear to listen to Jian Tong speak, impatiently interrupting her: "Come with me, there's someone in 601 who specifically asked for you." 。When Mr. Xu said this, the door was not closed, and everyone in the resting room behind him heard it, each with a stunned expression. 。"601, 6th floor, VIP floor oh" 。"Yeah, you can't just waltz into the VIP floor with money." 。Who is it I haven't heard that anyone has booked room 601 tonight. 。" Besides, he even specifically mentioned her Are you kidding me" "Susan, maybe it's just another weirdo customer again This kind of thing isn't necessarily a good thing, right" 。“After he finished speaking, everyone in the lounge seemed relieved. “That’s right,” they thought, “we wouldn’t be able to handle this kind of work.” 。Although they had learned from the experiences of Zhenzhen and Luna, the members of the PR department did not take heed. 。Besides, the big boss hates troublemakers, and they haven't done anything to this little girl. 。These people already had issues with Jian Tong, who didn't fit their standards at all, but they let her into their department. Now, the fact that Jian Tong had worked as a sanitation worker in Dong Huang for half a year before joining them—cleaning toilets every day—makes it even worse. Suddenly, out of nowhere, she joined their department. Anyone would feel uncomfortable with this situation. 。The public relations manager, with a cold face and slightly raised chin, looked at Jane: "After you go in, understand what to say, what not to say, what to do, and what not to do." 。The customer's requirements need to be met. 。"Don't offend the guests, you know" "I know, Manager Xu," 。" Mr. Xu's eyes held undisguised displeasure: "I don't care who brought you into the public relations department, but once you're in my department, you do things my way." 。Remember, if you want to stay in my department, don't cause me trouble. There are many people who would kill to get into the PR department. If you don't perform well, get out and make way for someone else. 。No one's face is worth anything. 。"Remember"

"Remember, Mr. Xu" 。"I... want to ask, what's the last name of this guest" Jian Tong hesitated and asked. 。She really didn't know who would call her out, unless it was someone she knew. 。 If it was someone she knew... Her heart skipped a beat, her face paled slightly. Besides the people from three years ago, who else could it be "This isn't your concern" 。

Don't ask questions that you shouldn't, just go in.

Mr. Xu finished speaking and reached out to open the door. 。Gian came too late to react, and was pushed by Manager Xu. 。 She was pushed into the room, stumbling and unable to regain her balance. Suddenly, a strong force pulled her forward. In her panic, she smelled a wave of sandalwood incense. 。There was a magnetic voice, ringing in her ear, saying: "You, finally came." 。"u in the evening."There are some things that, even if you tear your face apart, shouldn't be shown to outsiders.But Jian Mo Bai was already shrouded in the shadow of death for a long time. His prolong...
