Chapter 40 The Real Assassination Team
Shen hope stared coldly at the man lying on the ground, his wrist broken and barely alive, and demanded, "Who sent you?"
Lin Zheng threw away the spicy snack he hadn't finished eating, wiped his mouth, and walked out.
He picked up a steel bar and casually hit a guy on the ground who had been shot but wasn't quite dead. He didn't expect the bullet to be less lethal than Shen hope. Imagine how frustrating it is to be shot but not die.
One can only see a Buddha to the Western Paradise.
Lin Zheng approached Shen hope, and his first words immediately made Shen hope lose her composure:
"You killed people? That many lives are enough to warrant ten death sentences."
Shen hope was utterly speechless, not knowing how to reply: "Young Master Lin didn't kill him?"
"We killed them, we killed several of them. So, Secretary Shen, we need to coordinate our stories beforehand, or we'll both end up in jail."
"Yes, I agree. Fortunately, they were the ones chasing us in the city today, so we were in the right."
Lin Zheng walked up to the dying enemy, who was truly on his last breath.
"You've almost kicked me to death, and you're still asking questions?"
Shen hope looked towards the factory gate, picked up two iron blocks, and kicked them out, swiftly hitting the enemies who were guarding the gate and now trying to escape, wiping them out.
"Don't worry, I'll just ask a few simple questions, it won't be a problem. I won't die anytime soon."
Lin Zheng watched as the man's side chest seemed to cave in after being kicked by Shen hope.
It's true that it won't die immediately, but after a while it will probably just suddenly die, and even a god couldn't save it.
Lin Zheng felt around on him for anything that might identify him: "Brother, who sent you? Tell me your boss's name, or even his surname."
The man's lips trembled.
Just as he was about to say something, Lin Zheng actually managed to touch the other person's phone, which didn't have a password!
Open the chat software, and there are even chat logs.
He laughed: "Great, brother, you've made things much easier for me. I don't even need to ask you anymore."
The man's voice was weak: "Kill me...kill me...I'm so cold and uncomfortable."
He nodded and waved to get rid of Shen hope: "Shen hope, give him a quick death. I think he's about to die from the pain. Killing is not torturing."
Shen hope retrieved his dagger from the corpse and went to Lin Zheng's side.
It's easy to slide a knife across a throat.
The question was: "Is there any information on their phones indicating who they are?"
The two looked at the simple chat history on the phone and opened the other's boss's information.
The surname shown above is Zhang Laoban (Boss Zhang).
Boss Zhang... that's right, he's the boss who hires a professional assassination team.
Lin Zheng showed the number to Shen hope: "My connections are a bit limited. See if you can check it out when we get back."
"Okay." Shen hope remembered the number and stood up: "Then let's go back. We need to tell President Jiang about this strange thing. Whether these people came to kill me or to kill Young Master Lin, we can't let this happen a second time."
Lin Zheng agreed, but after Shen hope turned around, he didn't leave. Instead, he continued to look through other messages on his phone.
Shen hope stopped in her tracks, curious: "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Lin Zheng's expression turned serious. Although they were the same enemy, as expected... the conversations in the messages were all between a senior leader and his subordinates; these people weren't hired assassins.
Especially when Shen hope was killing everyone, he was handsome, but these people had no ability to resist at all. Just think about it, how could they be the professional killers mentioned in the book?
It should be noted that the book explains in detail that although Shen hope was able to defeat those thirty-odd people, he would still be seriously injured even in his prime.
They are far beyond the reach of these lowly armed individuals.
But if the enemy leader hasn't changed, why have the attackers changed? Could it be... could it be that these people are just there to lead the charge?
Because I changed part of the plot, the enemy's attack changed from one wave to two waves.
Ha, can't be?
Another sudden thought flashed through Lin Zheng's mind.
His heart raced. This time, he didn't even need to guess much; everything was laid bare before him.
Damn it...
"Shen hope".
Shen hope stared at Lin Zheng: "Speak."
"Are you feeling alright now? How much energy did you expend?"
"I didn't burn too much, but I'm a little tired. The few steamed buns I had this morning were barely enough to keep me from being hungry. What do you mean, Young Master Lin?"
Lin Zheng grinned, stood up, spread his hands, and said frankly, "Then we might be doomed, little Shen hope. She might die here later."
As soon as he finished speaking, dust began to fall gently from the steel beams even without wind.
Shen hope's expressionless face gradually tensed up after realizing something.
A bead of cold sweat involuntarily seeped from his forehead.
As the saying goes, in the eyes of professionals, even without the other party taking action, some very small habits can tell whether the other party is a professional.
On the beams of the steel plant, in the corners, beside the boiler, and behind the iron boxes, there were more than thirty pairs of eyes watching the two of them.
Those people were dressed in uniform black casual clothes, much like Shen hope's outfit.
Compared to those obviously amateur "assassins" from before, these people's aura was several dimensions superior.
Shen hope's hand slowly clenched.
Suddenly, she threw a dagger at an enemy with lightning speed.
The dagger, which could have killed instantly and with perfect accuracy, pierced the wall with a clang.
Just then, the other person dodged, and the two brushed past each other's necks.
The man even pulled the dagger off the wall and threw it back to Shen hope. The dagger slipped and rattled a few times on the ground.
"Our employees said you're a very strong woman, and judging from your performance just now, that's certainly true. We have to admit, in a one-on-one fight, we might not even be as good as you."
But sending our entire team of thirty or forty to deal with you is really overkill. In my opinion, there's absolutely no need for everyone to go, especially since you're not at full strength and you have a burden to carry on the team.
Lin Zheng knew that the "burden" was referring to himself.
But there's nothing I can do. Who told me to transmigrate to the middle of the novel? If I had just had a little more time to develop, things wouldn't be like this.
Shen hope watched as the thirty-four people gradually approached him.
She tried to remain calm: "I don't care who hired you, but it sounds like you're here to kill me, right? Since you're letting Young Master Lin go, I believe you won't kill innocent people except for the mission."
The opposing leader was a middle-aged man who didn't appear particularly robust, but his eyes were extremely terrifying.
"Where did you get the belief? Even if we hadn't received the same mission to kill this man, we'd still take on this job. I wouldn't mind sending the boss an extra corpse. Our team always likes to give our employers a little perk."
Lin Zheng never expected that he would be included in the missions assigned to this group of people.
It seems the plot has been unknowingly altered quite a bit by myself.
Upon hearing the reply, Shen hope stopped talking to them and looked at Lin Zheng, still with a blank expression.
But his tone softened considerably: "Hurry up... This group is different from the previous one. I can't guarantee we'll win this time, but even if we lose, they definitely won't be able to catch me alive."
Lin Zheng looked at the thirty people who had surrounded him and said honestly, "I want to too, but how do we get out?"
"Just go through the main gate. I'll protect Young Master Lin." She hesitated, then added, "If you really marry President Jiang in the future, treat him well, or I'll haunt you and crawl out from under the bed to strangle you."
Lin Zheng laughed and said, "Now that you're a ghost, you don't need to be so resentful anymore."
A dagger flew towards Lin Zheng's neck, but Shen hope swiftly kicked it back. The person who threw the dagger dodged, astonished by the woman's speed: "Don't let either of them escape! Kill the man first! She can't protect him!"
