Pick Up a Killer as Girlfriend

Chapter 73: Approaching Crisis


"Junjie, Long Jie, Shaojie, and Jie are all downstairs. Call them to go together," Old Man Ren reminded.

"What? They're here too? I'm heading out then."

After Shen Junjie got Ye Xiaofan's address, he quickly ran downstairs.

Meanwhile, Lin Miaoke informed the director about the situation she just discovered. Of course, she was aware of the traitor's existence, so she hoped the director could discreetly send someone out.

On the other side, Xiaofan and Shen Zuimo went early in the morning to an elegant place to have morning tea. After eating their fill, the two wandered around the mall for quite a while, letting Shen Zuimo freely enjoy the shopping fun.

In the afternoon, the two went to the water park and had a good time. Finally, they went to a large restaurant and ordered a seafood feast.

It was said that Ouyang Xiong also had shares in this restaurant, so Xiaofan used the membership card for a 50% discount, quite a deal. However, at this rate, the money Xiaofan earned working at the bar would soon be running out.

The two were having so much fun they didn't even realize they were being watched by assassins and the police. After all, after what happened last time, so much time had passed, and they let their guard down, or maybe they just didn't want to think about it again.

"Phew, I'm so full. Hey, where are we going next?" Shen Zuimo comfortably patted her slightly round tummy and asked while sipping wine.

"Watch a movie, I guess. After we settle the bill, there might be two or three hundred bucks left, so we can only watch a movie," Xiaofan replied helplessly.

"What? Out of money? After spending this two or three hundred, we'll be drinking northwest wind, right? Let's just not watch a movie, let's go home and watch something instead," Shen Zuimo didn't mind the whole couple-movie thing. After all, she bought clothes, played to her heart's content, and had a good meal today. Next, she could just go home, take a cold shower, and crawl onto this guy for a nice nap.

"Watch at home? What good movies are there at home? Or do you want to watch Japanese adult films with me?" Xiaofan teased with a cheeky smile.

"Watch then. Anyway, I often watch them when you're not home," Shen Zuimo admitted frankly, not minding at all.

"Wow, you actually peeked at my collector's edition."

"Oh come on, you guys are really perverted."

"Huh? I'm perverted for watching it, what does that make you then?"

"Curious."

"Tsk."

The teasing atmosphere between them was quite harmonious. When they left the hotel after settling the bill, Shen Zuimo's stunning looks caught the attention of many guests. Xiaofan felt very pleased with the envious and admiring looks, because standing next to this beauty was himself.

"Zuimo."

"Hmm?"

In the underground parking lot, Xiaofan suddenly called out to Shen Zuimo without the surname this time.

"After my college entrance exams, come back to my hometown with me. I want to introduce you to my grandpa," Xiaofan said slowly.

"Hmm? Meeting your grandpa? What for?" Meeting the family? Really? This guy is so sudden, and I'm not prepared at all.

"What are you thinking? Seeing Shen Zuimo's face suddenly redden, Xiaofan teased: "My grandpa's medical skills are remarkable, maybe he can cure your amnesia."

"Oh, so that's what you meant. Ugh, I wasn't thinking anything ridiculous," Although it wasn't what she expected, visiting the place where Xiaofan was born and raised wasn't bad at all.

"It's still early, let's stroll a bit before heading back."

"Okay."

Saying so, the two happily got in the car and left. Just after Xiaofan's car started, a black Honda quietly followed. The driver was making a call while driving.

"This is Blood Wolf. Are the Five Ghosts here yet? I'll report my location now. I'm following the nightingale, they'll be heading home soon, and I already have people ambushed. If it's not necessary, there's no need for the Five Ghosts to take action. Alright, that's all for now."

At this time, downstairs at Xiaofan's place. The Four Heroes of Huxia gathered again, and they'd been waiting since morning but hadn't managed to meet Xiaofan. If Old Man Ren hadn't mentioned the Life-taking Five Ghosts had just arrived in H City, Shen Junjie would've really thought his sister had been taken.

"Report, no news about Ye Xiaofan from the Star Moon Bar either."

At the criminal investigation headquarters, the director, deputy director, Lin Miaoke, and the SWAT team captain were all gathered. The person sitting at the top among them was Old Man Ren.

"Strange, where could that kid have run off to? Did he discover something and hide?" Lin Miaoke frustratingly asked. Considering that guy's intelligence, it wasn't out of the realm of possibilities.

"Let's not make wild guesses now. Gather the team, and let's meet up with Junjie and the others. Remember what I said, if you encounter the Life-taking Five Ghosts, besides the snipers, do not let the regular SWAT officers engage," Old Man Ren said calmly.

"Report."

"Hao, what have you got?" Lin Miaoke quickly asked when she saw Hao walking in briskly.

"Found it. There's nothing strange about Ye Xiaofan's identity. This is his birthplace, and his birth certificate is complete. His parents work in another place, doing construction transportation. But his two uncles are somewhat notable. They're both in the Capital City—one is our selfless Iron-faced Judge, Ye Dahe, and the other, Ye Daqiao, is a businessman doing fairly well in the Capital City. His grandmother, Mu Xiaocui, passed away twenty years ago. His grandpa lives alone in their hometown and is named Ye Aotian."

"What? Can you repeat that? What are his grandparents' names?" Hearing those names, Old Man Ren stood up in shock, his expression unusually astonished.

"Ye Aotian, Mu Xiaocui."

'Thud.' After confirming he hadn't misheard, Old Man Ren sat back down, his expression complex: "I never expected, old friend, that this boy is actually your grandson. No wonder, no wonder..."

"Hey, Junjie, tell the others that while protecting your sister, make sure not to hurt Ye Xiaofan either. Unless your life is in danger," Old Man Ren surprisingly made another call at this time.

"Old Ren, this is..."

"I'll explain later. That's it then." Hanging up the phone, Old Man Ren stood up once again: "I can't sit still anymore, I've got to go see for myself."

"Hey, boss, your health is important," the director quickly caught up to him.

"Important my foot, this old body won't last many more years. I have a feeling that tonight's matter is no small thing," Old Man Ren said as he put on his coat and quickly headed to the elevator.

The relationship between their old generation really piqued Lin Miaoke's curiosity. Unable to participate in the action due to her injuries, she quietly picked up her phone and called her grandpa: "Hey, Grandpa, do you know someone named Ye Aotian?"

Let's switch to another scene. It was half-past seven in the evening. Summer days are rather long, and around seven-thirty, the sun had just set, and some neon could be seen in the sky.

Tired from playing, the two finally drove into their neighborhood. However, what awaited them after parking, they weren't expecting at all, as they were completely immersed in their happiness. If they could live like this every day, even becoming an Immortal wouldn't be as appealing.
