When Sean saw Yi Zheng, who was reeking of gunpowder, he quickly retreated to the side, afraid that the explosion would affect him.
Tang Zhe walked out from the crowd and bowed to his side. “Master, the traces on those guns have been completely erased. No one will be able to see their original appearance.”
Yi Zheng glanced at him from the corner of his eye with a cold expression.
“Isn’t there anything else to do after doing that?”
Tang Zhe understood and quickly fled with the men from Blood Oath and Immaculate.
Only Lin Si remained where he was and looked over with a smile. “President Yi, you’ve misunderstood. This hairpin of mine is not an ordinary piece of jewelry. Look.”
He gently pressed the tip of the hairpin with his thumb, and a silver needle that shone with a cold light suddenly popped out from the bottom. Judging from the color, that thing was much better than ordinary hidden weapons that could be seen on the market.
Shi Man was suddenly tempted. She wanted to reach out to take it, but her wrist was wrapped tightly in Yi Zheng’s warm palm in midair.
Yi Zheng looked at her with a faint smile and said in a frivolous but threatening tone, “Manman, what do you like that 1 didn’t give you? Is this little thing that tempting you?”
Shi Man coughed dryly and rejected Lin Si. “This thing is exquisitely made. You should keep it for yourself.”
Lin Si’s expression changed slightly. He said reluctantly, “Boss, do you really not want it? The appearance of this hairpin suits you very well. You’ll definitely look good wearing it.”
Yi Zheng glanced at the thing in disdain and said in an unfriendly tone, “What’s the use of a lousy hairpin? Manman, I can give you the batch of goods I captured last time.”
Shi Man’s eyes lit up. Those were all top-notch goods that were difficult to find on the market. If Yi Zheng wanted to give them all to her instead of sharing them equally, the temptation would be too great.
She immediately switched sides to Yi Zheng and said with a serious expression, “Alright, Lin Si, go find Sean and ask him to arrange a mission for you. I don’t need you here for the time being.”
Lin Si put away the hairpin in disappointment and grunted heavily, like a puppy abandoned by its master.
After the two of them walked away side by side, Sean came out from behind the container not far away and bumped his shoulder in disbelief. “No way, are you thinking that way about Boss?”
“How is that possible?” Lin Si put away the hairpin and hid the loneliness in his eyes. He said in a low voice, “I just know that our new boss is a girl, so I specially went to the black market to buy this as a greeting gift. It cost me a lot of money, but 1 didn’t give it away.”
Sean patted his back helplessly. “Alright, our boss’s family is especially rich. She doesn’t lack these things. You should save up money in the future and keep it for your wife.”
Lin Si glared at him angrily. “Who said I’m getting married?”
“Ouch.” Amused, Sean put his arm around his shoulder and teased, “What are you going to do if you don’t get a wife? You’re about the same age as Boss, aren’t you? Are you really going to do this for the rest of your life?”
Sean had picked Lin Si up from the side of the road when he was young. In Sean’s own words, Lin Si was the puppy he had personally brought back.
At first, Sean pitied him. A child was squatting by the side of the road, drenched in the rain, and crying.
Sean had taught him martial arts and brought him to participate in the training so that he could have the ability to defend himself. After all, this kid looked so weak back then, as if he would collapse with a casual punch.
He did not expect this puppy to walk the same path as him when he grew up, but he did not want him to continue walking like this.
He was used to living a life where his life was hanging by a thread. He actually yearned to be a stable ordinary person, so he naturally placed his hopes on Lin Si.
However, this little brat was extremely talented. Every time he was given a mission, he would complete it exceedingly well. Take the matter of saving Bai Xue’s mother for example. Lin Si did not need anyone’s help to complete the mission independently for the organization.
Sean looked him up and down and punched his stomach. Seeing him grimace in pain, he felt relieved. “I didn’t plan to let you come this time. It’s fine if you want to get involved, but how dare you kill someone?”
“Who’s involved?” Lin Si rolled his eyes at him and said indifferently, “What’s wrong with killing people? Which of us doesn’t have blood on our hands?”
This was his first time killing someone, but he did not panic at all. He only felt that it was normal.
Sean suddenly frowned. “Don’t mess around. We agreed that you wouldn’t touch these things. In a few years, when you’re mature, you’ll do something serious.”
Lin Si stopped and looked at him expressionlessly. “Brother Xiao, do you really think I have a chance to turn back now that I’ve come this far?”
It was true that he had never been involved in businesses that pertained to human lives in M City, but his actions could not let him return to the life of an ordinary person. If he said that he would stop now, it would bring him a fatal disaster. He could only continue, even if he knew that there might be a dead end ahead..
