Half an hour later, Yan Xi arrived at the seafood factory.

  This place was so quiet that even the wind could be heard. It was six o’clock in the afternoon. The moment she walked into the dark factory, Yan Xi felt a chill running down her spin.

  “Finally,” a man’s voice said from the gloom.

  Yan Xi narrowed her eyes and placed a hand on the scalpel she had prepared. “Who are you? Why did you ask me to come here? How much do you know about Gu Shen’s surgery?”


  The man chuckled. It sounded very strange.

  “You don’t have to care about who I am. As for Gu Shen… idiot, of course I lied to you!”


  “So you tricked me into coming over?”


  Halfway through, Yan Xi saw the dagger the man was holding and subconsciously took a few steps back. “Do you want to kill me?”


  “Kill you? No, no, no, why would I kill you? I just want to make you unable to save Gu Shen!”


  As soon as he finished speaking, the man pounced on her.

  Without hesitation, Yan Xi turned around and ran out of the seafood factory.

  She knew that if she stopped for even a second, she would probably be killed by him.

  Suddenly, she saw a few figures in front of her and immediately stopped. When she saw that they were the man’s accomplices, coldness flashed across her eyes.

  Damn it, there was more than one person!

  Yan Xi gritted her teeth. “Who sent you?!”


  These people were obviously hired to carry out someone’s request.

  The man snorted coldly. “You’re a clever one, aren’t you? It seems the man was right. I’ll have to be more careful when dealing with you!”


  ‘The man?’


  Yan Xi frowned. “Who is it? Even if you are going to kill me, at least tell me who wants me dead.”


  “Do you think you can fool me?” The man gave his accomplices a look and they immediately surrounded Yan Xi.

  One of the accomplices tried to grab Yan Xi’s hair, but she nimbly dodged him.

  Yan Xi held the scalpel tightly and cut the artery on the man’s wrist.

  “Ahhhhhh!”


  He fell to the ground and screamed. When the man saw this, his expression gradually darkened.

  “You guys, take him to the hospital. I’ll deal with this woman!”


  “Boss, this woman is trained. Can you…”


  “Go now!”


  Hearing that, they left, carrying the injured man.

  For a moment, only Yan Xi and the man were left in the seafood factory.

  Yan Xi sneered. “You must be the strongest among them, right? Are you confident that you can catch me alone?”


  “I guess you still don’t know who I am. I used to work in the special forces. Do you think a weak girl like you can fight someone like me?”


  Yan Xi’s pupils constricted.

  It would be strange if she could fight with a former soldier!

  At a time like this, escaping was the best choice.

  The man seemed to have seen through her and blocked the way to the door.

  “Do you think you’ll have a chance to run out today?”


  Yan Xi’s palms were already sweating.

  Was she really going to die here?

  “Bang!”


  Yan Xi was thrown to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.

  She struggled to get up from the ground. The scalpel was stained with blood.

  Although she hadn’t been able to hurt the man in the slightest, she realized that he really didn’t want to kill her.

  Clearly, he just wanted to cripple her so that she couldn’t operate on Gu Shen.

  Yan Xi put her hands behind her back and stared at the man coldly. “How much did they give you? I’m willing to pay you double the price to let me leave!”


  “Double? They paid me fifty million. Are you going to give me a hundred million?”


  100 million?!

  Yan Xi couldn’t help but pout.

  Were Her hands only worth a hundred million?

  They were priceless!

  “Let me go and I’ll give it to you.”


  “That’s the thing. If I let you go, why would you give me a hundred million?”


  Yan Xi cursed under her breath.

  She didn’t expect this man to be so smart.

  She took a deep breath and put out her hands. “In that case, take my hands.”
