Aren't we friends? Why are you rushing at me?

A moment later, in a dark corner across from the food street, there was the same person in casual clothes with an average face.

Da Zong first pretended to be a tourist, looking around, and then the perspective shifted to Lin Shi and his group of four who had already started eating happily.

Then, looking at the photos he had just taken with his camera, he felt deeply helpless.

He sighed, now wondering if he had accidentally stumbled into some kind of harem anime.

I flipped through the photos I took today over and over again.

Finally, he made a decision to let his boss have the headache.

He took a deep breath, took out his phone, and dialed an encrypted number.

"Hey, Boss."

"The situation is a bit complicated."

A moment later, a deep voice, altered by a voice changer, came from the other end of the phone:

"What's wrong?"

"Is Lin Shi protected by skilled bodyguards?"

"No, it's not a matter of being an expert."

Tatar Zong glanced at the odd group of one man and three women at a table in the distance, who seemed to be enjoying themselves immensely.

"Boss, it seems Lin Shi has three girlfriends."

"ha!!!"

On the other end of the phone, there was a gasp of surprise, followed by a long, deathly silence.

Clearly, even the most knowledgeable villainous boss was overwhelmed by the sudden influx of information.

A full half minute passed before a question filled with existential skepticism came from the other end:

"Three?"

"I'm sure! My eyes are the ruler!"

"I can tell that all three girls have feelings for Lin Shi."

There was silence again on the other end of the phone.

The Boss reopened the Dark Web commission interface—accepted projects:

Looking at the top-ranked, and quite valuable, commissions:

[Stage an accident to get rid of Lin Shi's girlfriend. Requirement: It must be staged as a traffic accident.]

The boss's face instantly darkened.

Looking at the not-so-low fee, he originally thought this job was "using a sledgehammer to crack a nut"—how much effort could it take to kill an ordinary person's girlfriend?

But now it seems.........

"I knew it! I knew there's no such thing as easy money in this world!"

The boss slammed his hand on the table and spoke rapidly, his voice filled with resentment:

"Damn capitalists, their hearts are so damn black."

"Can you imagine? He dared to play word games with a professional assassin."

"The price for one person, and you expect us to handle three targets? Buy one get two free? Do you think we're running a charity???"

Is killing three as difficult as killing one?

"Damn it, once this job is done, I'm going to find out who this client is! They dared to rip me off; the first thing I'll do is take them down!"

"Boss, what do we do now?"

The Tartar emperor asked cautiously:

"Do you want to cancel the order?"

"Refund my ass! We've already taken the deposit. Even assassins have a code of honor, you know?"

"We've already accepted the order, so we have to give them an explanation."

The boss took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger, his tone revealing a ruthless, "what's the use" attitude:

"Since they only paid one sum, then kill only one!"

"Let's kill Lin Shi's favorite thing; it also shows that we've worked hard."

Tatar Zong nodded in response to the Boss's instructions.

Logically speaking, he should now figure out on his own who Lin Shi's most beloved girlfriend is.

But the call had already been made, and the image of incompetence had already been left in the Boss's mind.

I simply don't want to use my brain anymore:

"Boss, how do you tell who your favorite is?"

"When people are in extreme fear and darkness, their instinctive reactions do not lie."

"We'll create some chaos and see who Lin instinctively protects. That's the 'favorite' we're looking for."

"Find a way to lure them all into the haunted house; you don't need to worry about anything else."

.................................................. ..................

"We're back!"

With a tornado potato in her left hand and a large bag of kebabs in her right, Xia Ye and Ye Cheng ran back excitedly.

As soon as he sat down, Xia Ye froze.

She looked at Liu Ruyan across from her, who had already removed the dog mask and was happily eating oden, and said:

"Oh, you actually took it off?"

Xia Ye raised an eyebrow, his tone slightly teasing.

I originally thought Liu Ruyan would get angry like before, or that we would exchange a few words.

Unexpectedly, Liu Ruyan was in a pretty good mood. She just rolled her eyes at her and continued to eat her food elegantly.

After all, the fact that Lin Shi could guess her from the dog's head meant that he still cared about her.

That was enough for her to unilaterally declare victory in this round.

Why bother arguing with someone who's still pretending to be a brother?

Xia Ye pursed his lips and didn't say anything more. After all, it was rather boring to provoke trouble one-sidedly.

She picked up a skewer of grilled meat and handed it to Lin Shi, blinking her eyes expectantly, hoping he would eat it.

Lin Shi took the roasted meat and ate two bites.

Then, he frowned slightly, his gaze seemingly casually sweeping over the surrounding crowd, and said in a low voice:

"strangeness."

"Ever since then, I've had the feeling that someone is watching us."

Ye Cheng, who was holding takoyaki, paused, her mouth full, and mumbled incoherently:

"Hmm! I felt it too!"

"It feels like there's a gaze constantly lingering around our table."

The voice just fell.

Liu Ruyan and Xia Ye, who were eating, froze at the same time.

The two exchanged a glance, instantly feeling guilty.

Staring at Lin Shi?

Isn't that the professional team I arranged this morning?

Each person also has a 4K high-definition camera installed on them.

This allows you to see every single pore of Lin Shi's body clearly.

Originally, it was meant that when it was inconvenient to get close, one could at least check the surveillance footage.

The world is unpredictable.

The two of them sat down and ate with the two of them.

"Maybe you're overthinking it. After all, the three of us are so good-looking, it's no wonder someone's been secretly watching us."

Liu Ruyan quickly began to explain.

We must not let Lin Shi discover that today's chance encounter was actually premeditated.

Seeing this, Natsuno immediately followed suit, nodding quickly:

"That's right, there's nothing I can do about it, I'm just too beautiful. I'm used to it."

Lin Shi listened to the two people's explanations, and felt that they were a bit far-fetched.

But when he turned to look at the three beautiful women beside him, he nodded.

"Okay, as long as he's not a bad guy."

Lin Shi dispelled his doubts and continued eating with his head down.

Just then.

A man dressed in gray casual clothes with a professional fake smile on his face, holding a stack of colorful flyers, "coincidentally" came over.

"Excuse me, handsome men and beautiful women!"

A man with an average appearance placed a flyer printed with a skull and bloody handprint on the table and enthusiastically began to promote it:

"Should we check out the newly opened 'Haunted Mansion'?"

"We just finished a complete renovation and upgrade today! The main focus is on a fully immersive experience!"

"It's perfect for couples to visit and can help them strengthen their relationship."

The word "couple" was used.

The eyes of the three women at the table lit up almost simultaneously.

"go!"

The three of them said in unison.

Everyone was extremely excited, and at the same moment, all eyes turned to Lin Shi.

We await his thoughts.

Seeing the three men in front of him who were so excited about being a good match for couples to cultivate their relationship that they wanted to tear the Japanese soldiers apart, Da Zong's smile froze on his face.

He glanced at Lin Shi, somewhat bewildered.

"Dude, you're really dating three people?"
