Chapter 131: 131: Ghost amongst the fields

With that said, the man dressed in a suit told one of the bodyguards, “Bring Miss Hong to the basement. I shall help Miss Hong remember what is in her bank account.”

Since this man and Liao Ke would have to continue with the interrogation, the four assassins that were nearby followed them into the basement.

The remaining fighters started cleaning the scene around the factory.

“Professor Hong Lu is being brought down into the basement. Should we go?”

After a while, a soft, weak voice came from the other side, “Stay put.”

“But boss, there are four mercenaries that have been hired and they are entering the basement as well. If we don’t do anything now, the rescue mission will be even more difficult once she enters the basement. It would be impossible to rescue her uninjured.”

“Someone’s here.”

The voice that was speaking was still extremely weak.

These mercenaries with blonde hair and blue eyes were extremely obedient towards the man with the weak voice, deciding to do as they were told.

Jing Qian had already arrived long before Hong Lu was dragged into the basement.

However, she noticed that in this remote area, other than the fighters and the Asian assassins with Liao Ke, there were four European mercenaries nearby.

From their physiques, if they were of the same level, the European mercenaries would be much more powerful than the Asian assassins.

However, she had no idea what the European mercenaries were doing. They had been hiding nearby the entire time but did not rescue Hong Lu. Yet, by the looks of it, they weren’t here to kill her.

Jing Qian had no choice but to take advantage of the dark surroundings and the landscape of the fields to help her run back into the bamboo forest she had passed by before this.

After being reborn as Jing Qian, she had been living a mundane life. There was no need for her to deal with ruthless pirates and she didn’t have to fight anyone, which was why she had never thought of preparing weapons for herself.

Seeing that this group of fighters were professionals meant that they must belong to a certain family, and since this family was willing to mess with her people, she would definitely teach them a lesson on why they shouldn’t do this.

Jing Qian took about five minutes to create a weapon for herself. She used the bamboo shoots that were around her, and along with the silver needles that she brought along with her, made a simple, hidden weapon.

These needles were extremely cheap, sold at a price of 100 yuan for 100 pieces, and you could find them at any Chinese medical center.

Since it was extremely small, Jing Qian placed it directly inside her mouth.

Coincidentally, there were some kids in her car before this, which was why there was a Halloween mask inside. In order to remain anonymous, she put on the mask before approaching those men.

Other than the four European mercenaries, who were far away, there were about 15 fighters altogether, including the three that went down into the basement with Liao Ke and the man in a suit and the Asian assassins.

There was a signal receiver placed in the periphery of the factory. This was placed in order for these killers to receive personal, confidential messages, and everyone else’s signal would be affected by this receiver.

Therefore, as soon as she got close to it, Jing Qian immediately hacked into the signal receiver.

There was a professional killer nearby who was on his phone when he suddenly felt a woman’s figure pass by.

It’s true that he was a professional killer, but it was still possible for them to see paranormal activities in remote areas like these. Plus, he had always been unlucky and encountered such activities in the past.

The professional killer immediately looked up when he felt the figure near him, but when he looked closely, there was no one there.
