Chapter 164 Even Professors Confess (10)

The monkey had already been knocked unconscious, and the plane was completely silent.

A system notification sounded in my mind—

[II. Eliminate the criminal group and its leaders Naw Kham, Sali, and Sapa (Note: The leaders must be killed by the host personally) - 25%]

Yu Ci closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

Baggio over there needs to be taken to the hospital for treatment immediately, but given the police's attitude, they will definitely thoroughly investigate whether any patients have recently been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.

Since the hospital couldn't send them, the people in the Huali organization had to help them themselves.

The mission was deemed a mistake on their part. They hadn't expected the police to make advance preparations and even use signal jamming to forcibly cut off their contact with the two women, effectively sealing off the entire Gores Island!
Ugh, this is an absolute disgrace to my profession!
The men who were there to meet her looked extremely grim. They stared at the woman who was resting with her eyes closed, but dared not make a sound to disturb her.

In mid-air, with a sweeping motion, a sideways pull, not stationary, and with the prey moving in poor visibility due to the late night and strong winds—a precise sniper shot that takes its life in a second—is this something a human could do?!
The group knew perfectly well that the girl's dangerous act of killing Sapa had absolutely nothing to do with the bounty.

She simply wanted to kill him.

"..." The group of people who had finally witnessed the woman's strength had complicated expressions and remained silent the whole way.

The plane landed in a secluded corner, and Yu Ci disembarked first.

The monkey was still unconscious in the corner. Yu Ci asked, "What should we do?"

The accomplice glanced back and said, "Oh, just kill him and dump him somewhere."

Yu Ci frowned: "Send it back."

We cannot allow any more innocent lives to be lost in Huali.

Moreover, the original owner only ever killed the most vicious and deserving of death; to be precise, these were not human lives, but the lives of dogs and beasts.

She didn't want to kill the people around Little Fragment without a reason.

The accomplices didn't understand why the woman was so soft-hearted, but given her behavior just now, they didn't object and tacitly agreed to let her go.

Yu Ci quickly returned to her apartment.

The phone on the table flickered, displaying intermittent messages from Xi Huai and a dozen or so WeChat calls. There was also a text message from an unknown number.

[Where are you?]
I've come to find you.
……

An anonymous person, judging from the time, sent the message shortly after she killed Sapa.

Yu Ci glanced at it once and then looked away, her lazy eyebrows and eyes indifferent, before returning to the bathroom to wash up.

The sky was still somewhat dim, and the living room was shrouded in a hazy light by the curtains. By the time Yuci came out wearing a bathrobe, the sky was already gradually brightening.

Then, the doorbell rang.

"..." The hand wiping the hair paused.

The people outside weren't in a hurry. After a long silence, the doorbell rang softly again.

Ding dong.

Ding dong.

Whose heartbeat is this?

The room was quiet, so Yu Ci went over to look through the peephole.

Total darkness.

Ringing the doorbell should turn on the motion-activated lights in the hallway.

"..." He silently took a step back and glanced at the phone on the table that was still sending text messages.

...She seemed to know who it was.

Even though she knew who was behind the door, she was still surprised that he could find her door so accurately.

It's just a pity that she would normally go to bed very early, and the door wouldn't be open even a little bit.

"Ring—" The cell phone on the table lit up slightly.

Yu Ci picked it up and looked at it:
[Your water meter is the only one running in the entire building.]
[Open the door, huh?]
Just imagining it, one could picture the man's face, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with a half-smile. Yu Ci raised an eyebrow slightly.

The blackening notification sound in my mind remained unchanged.
This means that the man was never really sure if she was the one who fired the shot on Gores Island, otherwise he wouldn't have sent her these messages from an unknown number; he would have just called her directly on WeChat.

Yu Ci returned to the bathroom and slightly turned on the faucet, letting water flow out in a thin stream to ensure the water meter kept running.

He's the one who's torn and suspicious if he doesn't open the door. But if he does open it, she'll be the one who dies.

Therefore, it's not open.

=Safety
Nothing happened.
This is a harassing text message from an unknown scoundrel.
=On the other hand, a message on WeChat said, "Sorry, Professor Xi, I was asleep and didn't see your message."

Okay, that's it.

"..."

Yu Ci stepped barefoot onto the carpet and back into the room, lying back in bed to block out the intermittent doorbell.

I didn't sleep very soundly.

In my dream, I vaguely felt a pair of large hands grabbing me and dragging me down, and I could not break free. I also felt something gently slapping me, and the background noise was the faint sound of construction noise from the doorway.

furnish?

Ok?
Yu Ci awoke with a start.

This apartment building has two units per floor. The family of three living across from her has been living there for several years. Why would they suddenly renovate?

The sound of moving and dragging was really too loud. I glanced at the time; it was 1:30 PM.

With her delicate hands brushing aside her disheveled hair, Yu Ci coaxed herself to get up. Her loose bathrobe had slipped down to her shoulders and was about to fall off, revealing half of her fragrant shoulders.

After washing up, Yu Ci turned off the tap, picked up her phone and pretended to reply to the man's message, while walking to the door to look through the peephole.

The peephole was now clear, revealing furniture of all sizes piled up in the corridor, all wrapped in transparent plastic. The doorway opposite was wide open, with groups of workers coming and going.

Yu Ci opened the door, called out to one of them, and said with a smile, "Uncle, has the person on the other side changed?"

The middle-aged man who was called over was a kind-hearted person. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Yes, he's a very handsome young man. I heard he's a professor at some university."

Haha.

Who is it?

It’s so hard to guess.

Yu Ci smiled and said goodbye to the group of uncles. Just as she was about to close the door, someone came out of the elevator.

The handsome, refined man wearing gold-rimmed glasses held a bag in one hand and checked his phone with the other. As if he had seen something interesting, the smile on his lips only grew wider.

Early autumn was still a bit chilly, and the man seemed to be used to wearing a simple and clean white shirt. His slender figure and gentle and noble temperament made him look more mature and steady, making it impossible for people to look away.

As if by chance, the man glanced up and was slightly taken aback. He looked at the door the woman was leaning against, then smiled faintly: "What a coincidence."

Yu Ci smiled and said, "Yes, what a coincidence, Teacher Xi."

Xi Huai looked at the workers who were still moving things inside, and then looked at the woman with a slightly apologetic expression: "Sorry, did I disturb you?"

This is definitely on purpose. Yu Ci smiled and said, "No, no. Teacher, what are you doing?"

Xi Huai looked at her and smiled, "My lease on the old place expired, so I found a new place."

Yu Ci raised an eyebrow, nodded understandingly, and pretended to be puzzled: "But didn't a family of three live here before? It doesn't look like a rental house."

Xi Huai replied, "I don't know either." He pushed up his glasses with his fingertips and smiled gently, "I saw it by chance online, and since you live here too, I thought I'd give it a try."

Yu Ci chuckled inwardly, but outwardly maintained a polite gesture, gesturing, "Would you like to come in and sit down? Ah, no, thank you."

"Then I'll take my leave." Gently interrupting the woman, Xi Huai smiled and shook the bag in his hand. "I just bought a lot of groceries; may I borrow the kitchen?"

Gentle and refined, a true gentleman.

Yu Ci smiled and continued to play along with him, inviting him into the house.

The original owner's apartment was very simple, with nothing superfluous. Even the weapons and equipment were hidden in a secret cabinet in the master bedroom. Yu Ci led the people around for a while, and then sat on the sofa and turned on the TV.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Teacher Xi. I haven't had lunch yet."

Xi Huai, who had entered the kitchen, lowered his eyes to arrange the vegetables. Hearing this, he chuckled and continued working: "Staying up all night again?"

Yu Ci nestled on the sofa: "Staying up late is the norm for young people."

Looking at the man in the kitchen, slowly and methodically preparing vegetables, exuding a mature and domestic air, Yu Ci said, "Teacher looks... unusually tired today. Did you stay up late too?"

"Hmm." Xi Huai replied gently, his expression unchanged. "I took care of some things last night, so I stayed up a little late. What about you? Why are you staying up late again?"
