Chapter 37 A Sudden Crisis
Shen hope glanced at Lin Zheng out of the corner of her eye, puzzled.
Although I understand that he is taking the initiative to get to know me because we will be living together in the future, I still feel that it is unnecessary.
"There will never be such a time, and I've been quite busy with work lately, so I won't be going shopping alone, except for today."
"real?"
"Of course, I've never gone shopping alone in my life, because I don't need to go shopping. I'm mainly responsible for handling President Jiang's personal affairs."
Hmm? Although these answers seem different from what she said this morning about occasionally taking a break, this one is clearly the truth.
But that's not right. The book clearly says that Shen hope was ambushed by the enemy while he was taking a walk and shopping alone, and was seriously injured as a result.
I'm sure I haven't misremembered.
So what was the reason he took a walk alone in that part of the story? The book doesn't explicitly say, so it probably wasn't a big reason, but what small reason could there be for her to leave Jiang Huaimeng alone?
Unless it is...
Shen hope stood up: "Alright, Young Master Lin, the break time is over after deducting the time spent answering your questions. Let's continue."
Lin Zheng looked at Shen hope, who was preparing to work again, and slowly stood up as well.
"Shen hope, I'm asking you, if nothing major happens, what reason could you possibly have to temporarily leave President Jiang?"
"There is no reason, no reason whatsoever, that would make me leave President Jiang."
"What if I died during that kidnapping?"
Shen hope looked at Lin Zheng as if he were a lunatic.
What is the relationship between these two?
Although Lin Zheng knew she still didn't like him very much, her answer this time was unexpected:
"Please don't say that, Mr. Lin. At least Mr. Jiang is very happy that you are alive. As long as Mr. Jiang is happy, I'm willing to do anything. And I can guarantee that as long as Mr. Jiang still appreciates you, you will not die no matter what happens in this world."
"Why are you suddenly saying such heartwarming things?"
"Where is the warmth? It's just the truth."
Lin Zheng stared intently; it seemed he had guessed correctly.
If Shen hope absolutely needed a reason to go shopping alone, it could only be because of Jiang Huaimeng.
Therefore, according to the original plot, the scene where Shen hope takes a walk alone is precisely when Jiang Huaimeng has completely turned evil and become extremely morbid.
She was probably planning to buy something to comfort Jiang Huaimeng, for something like that.
But now that she's alive, the plot has changed. Her reason for buying things is gone, and Jiang Huaimeng hasn't completely turned evil yet.
So if the only reason to get Shen hope to leave Jiang Huaimeng alone at this stage is to monitor her?
So... after all this, the final result is that wherever I go, that assassination battle happens there, right?!
The assassin waited for Shen hope to be alone, but when Shen hope was alone, he would only follow me.
Damn, how am I supposed to stop the male and female leads from cleaning up the fight scene afterwards?
Besides, when those assassins are besieging Shen hope, they might very well kill me along the way, right?
Lin was walking towards the commercial street.
Shen hope reminded him, "Young Master Lin, you're going the wrong way. It's the other side. We've already surveyed this side."
"Oh..." Lin Zheng turned around numbly.
Shen hope wondered why she had suddenly fallen into a daze after just being witty. Was she really human?
Lin Zheng thought for a moment and realized that no matter what, he could at least control the location of the fight now. As long as he ran far away from the city, the male and female protagonists would not "coincidentally" pass by.
But what about the specific time? Without a specific time, wouldn't Shen hope and I be in danger at any moment? We need to find a place with a wide view and in a remote location as soon as possible.
"Shen hope, how's your statistics going this morning?"
Shen hope stopped and stared at his notebook: "After walking this last little section, all the statistics will be completed."
"You don't need to read that last short section; you can see it from here. It should be some seafood stalls." He held out his hand: "Give me the notebook; I'll take a look and report the results to President Jiang."
Shen hope couldn't understand why he was in such a hurry again, and was about to hand it to Lin Zheng.
Lin Zheng froze as he was about to reach out.
A sudden, unexpected thread slipped through my mind.
My heartbeat quickened by half a beat.
Is this a sense of danger?
Lin Zheng's eyes widened suddenly. Could it be...?
He turned to look at the bustling market around him. Could it really be true? Could it be such a coincidence that it happened today, right here? So fast?
Although there were no enemies in sight, it was unclear whether there were any.
However, the sense of danger this time was significantly stronger than when Shen hope drugged me last time.
Lin Zheng reminded Shen hope, "Hurry up, come with me."
"Go? Where to? Shouldn't we report to General Manager Jiang first?"
Lin Zheng was too lazy to say more. He simply grabbed her arm and led her quickly out of the market, saying, "I have a feeling there might be danger ahead. Let's go."
"Danger?" Shen hope saw that she was holding onto him like this: "Please let go of me, you don't need to hold me, I can walk by myself."
Lin Zheng ignored her words and quickened his pace: "Can you sense any danger around us?"
Shen hope asked, puzzled, "What is it...?" Before she could finish speaking, her sixth sense, typical of a professional assassin, suddenly gave her a feeling that something was wrong.
The next moment, Lin Zheng and Shen hope almost simultaneously exclaimed, "Watch out!"
Suddenly, a bullet shot from above towards the two people on the street.
Fortunately, the two people sensed the danger in advance and lowered their bodies. The bullet grazed past them and struck one of the passersby in the thigh.
With a scream, the bustling market suddenly descended into chaos.
"What's going on?!"
"This person's thigh is bleeding! Lots of blood!"
The sniper lying on the roof cursed under his breath, "Damn it, how could someone dodge bullets? Did they spot me beforehand?" He quickly reloaded and prepared for the next shot.
After Lin Zheng and Shen hope saw the man's injuries, they exchanged a glance and almost simultaneously looked towards the rooftop in the distance.
The lens of the sniper scope reflected a dazzling luster in the sunlight.
Lin Zheng and Shen hope quickly left the market, keeping their heads low.
The sniper fired two more shots in the following moments, but unfortunately there were too many people in the market, and the shots all hit the civilians.
Lin Zheng cursed these damned bastards in his heart. How dare they kill someone in broad daylight? I'll make sure you're all dead later.
"Get in my car, there's no need to go over there to ride motorcycles, let's head out of the city!"
The two quickly got into the sports car, infuriating the sniper who yelled at the wall.
Using a pager: "The sniping attempt failed. This woman is more troublesome than we thought. Go and catch those two! We can't let them get away!"
Lin Zheng floored the accelerator in his sports car, the engine's beautiful hum echoing through the city. He drove recklessly, attracting the attention of passersby. Whose young master was treating the road like his own home again?
The next moment, gunshots rang out intermittently.
Countless vehicles were chasing after them.
Lin Zheng gritted his teeth, really wanting to curse the author again. What kind of social background does this world have? How can an assassin kill people in broad daylight?
Even if the male lead is a detective, does it have to be like Vice City?!
Sitting in the passenger seat, Shen hope would occasionally lean down to look at the dozen or so cars chasing after them.
Her ponytail swung wildly in the wind as she scanned the area: "Twenty-seven cars? Judging by the looks of it, there are at least seventy people chasing us."
"How much? You must have miscounted."
The book says there are more than thirty, right?
