The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

"What should I do?" Li Jiaying wondered to herself, but she couldn't find the answer.

Just then, her phone rang. Li Jiaying quickly picked it up and pressed the answer button.

"Hey, why did it take you so long to call? Do you know how long I've been waiting?"

"What? You kept calling? I didn't answer. Didn't I tell you the signal is bad on this train? I told you to be patient and not yell at me, you know?"

Li Jiaying's voice was very loud, and she even hung up the phone and stomped her foot hard at the end.

"That damn 827 guy, he wouldn't even listen to me make two phone calls. I'm not going back today, let's see how anxious he gets."

Li Jiaying leaned angrily against the railing, her eyes looking out the window again.

Meanwhile, in a black Mercedes at a street corner, Butler Li, listening to the phone call, looked puzzled.

"What just happened? Did Miss mistake someone for someone else?" Butler Li was puzzled, but from the tone of her voice, he could tell that Miss had argued with someone and was in a bad mood.

If that's the case, then I'll hold off on calling for now, to avoid getting another scolding.

As for Li Jiaying, she breathed a sigh of relief after realizing that the gazes behind her had finally disappeared. It seemed that her tactic had worked, and the two no longer suspected her.

As for Li Jiaying's (bjbd) actions just now, they also attracted a lot of attention. However, many people on the bus had their own things to do, and after watching the excitement for a while, they returned to calm and went about their own business.

Chen Xiaonan had just looked at Li Jiaying with great surprise, but when she saw the two people sitting behind her, she immediately understood the situation and didn't come up to ask Li Jiaying anything.

As for Li Jiaying, although she was looking out the window and occasionally taking out her phone as if replying to messages, her ears were constantly on the two people behind her.

As expected, these two were also unfamiliar with the place and had to talk again to discuss a solution.

"They said if we succeed this time, they'll give us gold directly. That's enough for us to go back and buy an armory."

"Haha, if we get that money, why are we in such a hurry to go back? I've heard that Guangling City is a rare and prosperous place. We've only been out for a short time and we've already seen so many beautiful women. We'll just wait until we're done and then go have some fun."

At this point, both of them couldn't help but chuckle. Clearly, the reward this time was very tempting to them.

"But we have to be careful. I've heard that this guy, Fang... Fang Yun, is young but he's got some skills. He's defeated quite a few people. We can't be careless and get caught off guard."

One of them straightened his face, his expression quite stern, but the other did not take it seriously.

"Brother, do we really need to be so cautious? We're not like those pampered young masters who spend their days traveling, eating, and drinking. We've all been through the wringer, crawling out of piles of corpses!"

"The powerful figures they imagine are mostly based on rumors, or they're the kind of people they can't beat in a fight. Once we arrive, taking them down will be a piece of cake."

Upon hearing what the man said, the other person nodded in agreement, agreeing that it did indeed make sense.

The person who invited them was just a young master from a wealthy family. Although they didn't have his wealth and background, they were proud of their own martial arts skills, and in that respect, they looked down on the people here.

Hearing this, Li Jiaying was even more surprised. Even if she knew that the two were assassins, it wouldn't have mattered if Fang Yun hadn't been mentioned.

After all, assassinations are not uncommon in Guangling City. Many powerful and influential people do not want to show their faces or be caught red-handed, so they usually hire professional assassins to kill someone they want.

These people mostly come from abroad or from countries still at war; they are well-trained and extremely difficult to deal with.

Thinking about this, Li Jiaying began to panic. Although Fang Yun was skilled in Taoist arts, would his Taoist arts still be effective against these fierce modern soldiers and weapons?

Li Jiaying was, after all, just a girl not yet twenty years old, and her understanding of these things was very limited. So no matter what, she had to tell Fang Yun the news as soon as possible.

Thinking about it, Li Jiaying prepared to return to her seat. However, halfway there, she suddenly realized that sending such a random message would be pointless.

Chapter 512 Professional Assassin

Even though he knew someone was coming to kill Fang Yun, there were many more people eyeing him now. For example, Fang Yun had offended many people upstairs.

Without concrete information, there's little point in telling Fang Yun this; aside from preparing, he won't gain any real advantage.

Thinking of this, Li Jiaying decided to go back and listen for a while to see if she could hear the two's deeper battle plan, so that she could defend against it in a targeted manner.

However, even though Li Jiaying was very careful this time, or rather, had others cover for her, her behavior still attracted the attention of the two men.

After all, Li Jiaying was the only person who would move around like that on the bus, so they couldn't help but be suspicious.

The two men immediately turned their gazes toward Li Jiaying. Li Jiaying even caught a glimpse of one of them secretly pulling a dagger from his thigh pocket.

If I had stayed in my previous spot, these two would probably have become very suspicious. But if I didn't go back to where I was standing, I wouldn't be able to hear their conversation.

After thinking it over, Li Jiaying gritted her teeth and stood back in that position.

To clear her name, Li Jiaying planned to reenact the phone call. She secretly sent a text message to the housekeeper, Li, asking him to call her again.

Soon, Li Jiaying's phone rang again. She quickly answered and yelled into the phone, "Didn't I already tell you not to call me again! If you call again, I'll block you!"

As expected, Li Jiaying's actions immediately caused the two people behind her to exchange glances, temporarily confused about the situation.

Li Jiaying was still breathing heavily when she noticed that the two seemed to be discussing something in hushed tones. The voices were so soft that Li Jiaying couldn't hear them clearly.

But then, Li Jiaying noticed that the man sitting outside with a dagger hidden in his sleeve suddenly stood up from his seat.

And judging from the direction he was heading, it seemed to be towards Li Jiaying.

Li Jiaying was startled, thinking: Could it be that this person has lost his temper and wants to make a move openly here?

Li Jiaying naturally knew that these people were desperate criminals. Now that Li Jiaying had made them very suspicious, they sent one of them to take advantage of the large number of people getting off the bus to kill Li Jiaying.

Although it's uncertain whether Li Jiaying was actually eavesdropping, killing a suspect always brings a sense of peace.

"What should we do? What should we do?"

Li Jiaying was also in a panic. She hadn't expected things to turn out this way. She had thought that the two of them would at most just stay silent and wait to get off the car to discuss things.

However, they chose to directly eliminate Li Jiaying, whom they saw as a threat.

At this moment, the man was getting closer and closer to Li Jiaying, and Li Jiaying could even see the cold light emanating from his sleeve.

"What should I do... Brother Fang, if only you were here." Li Jiaying planned to run away.

However, Li Jiaying believed that if she made any unusual move, she might die even faster.

At least for these two, killing him in such a confined space would have been incredibly easy.

In other words, even if Li Jiaying were allowed to escape for a few minutes, it would be very easy for the two of them to catch up.

· ·········Request flowers· ···

So now, Li Jiaying is caught in a dilemma: staying is not an option, nor is leaving.

The situation was about to escalate, and the man was clearly about to get close.

Li Jiaying could even recall a silent killing technique in their assassin circle: quickly slit the victim's throat with a dagger, so the victim wouldn't even have a chance to scream.

"Hey! Xiaoying, what are you still standing here for? Can you please stop being angry with me?" Chen Xiaonan suddenly walked over to Li Jiaying and took her arm with her other hand.

........ ... 0

"Xiaoying, I know I was wrong, okay? I shouldn't have said those things to upset you. Come back now, you must be tired after standing here for so long."

Chen Xiaonan looked guilty, as if she was sincerely apologizing.

Li Jiaying was slightly taken aback, but being a clever person, she quickly understood Chen Xiaonan's meaning. She immediately put her hands on her hips and said, "Hmph, are you afraid I'll get angry and won't lend you my cosmetics? Don't worry, I'm not as stingy as you."

"You're the one who's stingy!"

Chen Xiaonan immediately cried out and reached out to tickle Li Jiaying's armpits. Li Jiaying dodged, but Chen Xiaonan reached out to tickle her again, and the children started playing together.

The man standing to the side, seeing the two return to their seats, quietly hid the dagger deep in his sleeve and sat back down.

"Were you being a bit too sensitive just now? If you were to kill someone here, it would be easy to get caught," the man said.

"It's alright, it's just two young girls having a tiff." (Factory)

Chapter 513 Following in the Alley

Although she escaped unscathed, Li Jiaying didn't get any useful information; such generalizations weren't very helpful.

Therefore, Li Jiaying was somewhat sullen, not expecting that she couldn't even handle such a small matter.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if we don't know their plans. We can just follow them after they get off the bus. As long as we find out where they're going, we can call someone to follow them."

Chen Xiaonan's words enlightened Li Jiaying.

"Yeah, let's do it this way. I'd been so worried about this car until you told me. I guess these two '830' guys are a bit cautious; they won't exchange too many secrets in public like this."

"If we can find out where they live, then I can have my family come and follow them."

Li Jiaying knew that even if the guards her family hired weren't particularly strong, their ability to track and gather information was still better than hers.

"Okay, I'll send a message to Brother Fang first and see what he says."

Li Jiaying took out her phone again and sent a message to Fang Yun.

Fang Yun replied quickly, but told Li Jiaying to give up. Fang Yun said that it didn't matter whether she knew the news or not, and he didn't really care anyway.

However, Li Jiaying did not listen to Fang Yun this time; at least she cared about this matter.

Regardless of whether their subsequent actions will harm Fang Yun, this is the first time Li Jiaying has helped Fang Yun.

Fang Yun had helped her so many times before, and with great help at that. Could she really not handle such a small matter? Li Jiaying clenched her fists, determined to continue.

"Jiaying, look! They're getting up."

Chen Xiaonan, with her sharp eyes, immediately nudged Li Jiaying as soon as she saw the two make a move. Li Jiaying glanced over and, sure enough, the two had already grabbed their bags, clearly preparing to get off at the next stop.

"Let's not go down yet. Let's wait until they leave to avoid arousing suspicion."

Chen Xiao whispered something, and Li Jiaying nodded in agreement.

If she hadn't already attracted their attention twice before, she wouldn't need to be so cautious, but now she has no choice but to be careful.

These two look like desperate criminals; if one of them makes a mistake, he could very well meet his demise.
