Chapter 106: You Killed Someone There.
Just as You Xin was packing up the looted spoils, the Ma Jingduo Star Person lying on the ground took his last breath.
You Xin felt no pity for him, only a sense of relief.
This was the guy who had turned Earth into an auction venue, deploying monstrous weapons—Sai Gang—on Earth, causing massive destruction.
The attack on "himself" that day was probably related to him, even if not directly by his hand, then by his accomplice. Perhaps it was because of Taiga's interference that disrupted his Sai Gang, smashed his weapons, leading to tracking and retaliation.
He pulled out the "round pen" from the black market, scanned the Ma Jingduo Star Person's corpse in front of him. From the side of the "round pen," a thin line projected out, crawling around the Ma Jingduo Star Person's body. The interface dimmed, then a row of text appeared in the air—
Scan complete...
Uploading...
Verifying...
Verification passed...
Congratulations, you have completed the commission.
Looking at the system prompt, You Xin confirmed the identity of this Ma Jingduo Star Person. It was indeed him.
You Xin opened the task interface and wrote in the remarks: According to the target's confession, all the auction items were handed over to the Interstellar Alliance in exchange for their protection... Obviously, this was of no use: )
Clicked send.
This message was an extra bonus. You Xin hadn't managed to recover the losses for the employer, but at least he got the employer some clues.
Of course, You Xin's guess had a lot of speculation, after all, this Ma Jingduo Star Person hadn't said much... But You Xin guessed that the "bastard" he mentioned was the one who had given him this military uniform, allowing him to sit here, appreciating the scene of challengers being slaughtered by giant beasts, while sarcastically providing narration for this scene—the arsenal... that is, the Interstellar Alliance.
Eighty-nine not out of ten.
However, if he got the pot wrong, it wouldn't matter much. The Interstellar Alliance was a big organization with lots of mud behind its back, probably not caring.
"Beep beep——"
The ringing of the desk communicator rang again.
You Xin set down the documents in his hand and looked at the panel flashing red. This time it wasn't him operating it, but... someone had dialed in.
"Should I answer?"
Feng Ma came to the communicator, flew up to look at the screen.
"It's the President calling in."
"Leibie?"
"It’s her, should I answer?"
If not answering, it meant that the Ma Jingduo Star Person wasn't in his office, but if the guards outside hadn't seen him leave, then... something happened.
Whether he escaped with some means or encountered some accident preventing him from answering the call.
You Xin thought for a moment and pressed the call button.
The screen on the communicator dimmed, and then a scene appeared.
It was the silhouette of a person, back turned to the window, sitting in front of the screen. Compared to the dim indoor lighting, the lights outside the back window were even brighter.
This silhouette...
You Xin frowned tightly.
The next second, the old trick again.
He gripped a slender neck again, but this time he didn't press the person in his hand down to the ground, but pulled it up and placed it in front of his body.
Because in this new room, there wasn't only the person in front of the microphone, but also two bodyguards.
The spectacle of the trick startled the guards for a moment, and the next second, their superior became a hostage.
You Xin easily pulled out the cluster gun from the hostage's waist and directly pulled the trigger to take down the two guards.
"..." Was it too smooth? You Xin looked at the two guards who had fallen with some speechlessness. They hadn't struggled at all, and didn't know why they had just stood there allowing him to take the weapon without doing any counter.
Probably the brain was set on police film setting, thinking that the robber would stand confronting the two of them for a while. Who knew You Xin didn't follow the rules of the game, directly shot them down without honor.
"Long time no see, President."
The hostage in hand was very calm. You Xin could feel it because he was pressed tightly against her back, he could truly sense her calmness, as if she had prepared countless backup plans.
"Who are you?"
"You see, it's been so short a time, and you don't recognize me?"
You Xin sighed with emotion, full of regret in his words: "I'll give you three hints to help you recall, okay?"
"..."
Lei Beijie didn't respond, and she couldn't refuse either.
"The first keyword is Earth."
You Xin's voice paused, as if giving the President time to recall. After a while, seeing that Lei Beijie gave no feedback, You Xin had to give the second keyword.
"The second is... rocket launch base."
In the dim indoor, You Xin couldn't see the expression on the other's face, but it didn't matter.
Whether she recognized or not, there was no difference, because You Xin had already overlapped her silhouette with the memory of the attacker who had been floating outside the corridor bridge in his memory.
"The third hint is..."
You Xin jumped off the desk, came in front of Lei Beijie, and pressed the gun against her forehead covered in cold sweat.
"You killed someone there."
