Hearing Jian Yu’s words, Wang Yunmei fell silent again. She didn’t expect this decision to come so quickly. She wasn’t even prepared to confess.
However, her son’s words made sense. Just because she didn’t say it didn’t mean that Jian Changsheng didn’t exist. If her daughter knew about this in the future, it would be better for her to tell her herself.
After all, no matter what, she still couldn’t trust Jian Changsheng completely. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be nervous every time she saw him.
Once bitten, twice shy. Jian Changsheng had once hurt Wang Yunmei deeply, so in Wang Yunmei’s heart, he was a person with a record. No matter how sincere he appeared, Wang Yunmei couldn’t completely believe him.
Wang Yunmei finally nodded. “I’ll find a suitable opportunity to tell Xiao Ai everything.”
When she said this, Wang Yunmei felt relieved. Just as Jian Yu had said, if she said it, she wouldn’t have to bear all of this alone.
Seeing that his mother had finally relaxed, Jian Yu couldn’t help but put his arm around her shoulder and say comfortingly, “Mom, don’t worry. Xiao Ai and I will accompany you. No matter what happens, we can overcome everything together.”
When Wang Yunmei heard this, she couldn’t help but reach out to hold her son’s hand. She looked up and revealed a bitter smile. “With you guys around, Mom isn’t afraid of anything.”
Jian Yu’s two punches injured Jian Changsheng. He didn’t even care about socializing and drove to the hospital alone.
In the emergency room, Jian Changsheng sat on the chair in a daze. His cheeks were swollen, and he looked a little sorry.
Meizi would hate him even more.
He didn’t expect such an accident to happen, and he never thought that Xiao Yu would know of his existence under such circumstances. However, everything happened so suddenly that Jian Changsheng still hadn’t recovered.
Not long after, Li Qiang received the news and rushed to the hospital. As soon as he entered the emergency room, he saw Jian Changsheng and exclaimed, “Changsheng! Why did you become like this?”
Jian Changsheng found it difficult to speak. The doctor said that one of his bad teeth had loosened, and they would later extract it.
He immediately stammered, “Sit down first.”
Li Qiang frowned and sat down at the side, but his gaze was still sizing up Jian Changsheng’s swollen cheek. In the end, he asked, “What happened? Who beat you up?”
“Xiao Yu,” Jian Changsheng said with a lonely expression. He felt uncomfortable being beaten up by his biological son.
Li Qiang was shocked. “You… Why did he hit you?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qiang widened his eyes as if he had thought of something. He whispered, “He knows?”
Jian Changsheng looked up at Li Qiang and nodded weakly.
Li Qiang couldn’t help but gasp when he saw this. He opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.
Jian Changsheng exhaled in frustration and said, “I didn’t mean to.”
“Alright, stop talking since you’re so injured,” Li Qiang said helplessly. Now that things had come to this, it was useless to say anything.
“Should we inform Shuyi? With you like this, someone has to take care of you!” Li Qiang added.
Jian Changsheng quickly refused. “Don’t tell her. I asked you to come so that you can help me hide it from her.”
Jian Changsheng knew Qiao Shuyi very well. If she saw him injured like this, she wouldn’t be able to take it.
Li Qiang frowned. “We can hide the matter, but how are we going to hide your injury? It’s so swollen. You won’t recover in less than half a month. You can’t hide from her, right?”
Unexpectedly, Jian Changsheng nodded. “I won’t be going home for the time being. I’ll find an excuse.”
Li Qiang was stunned. In the end, he couldn’t help but sigh. “Alright, make up the reason yourself. I’ll help you cover for Shuyi.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qiang couldn’t help but warn Jian Changsheng, “You better be smart. Don’t let Shuyi know about this. Otherwise, the situation will collapse and no one can save you!”
Jian Changsheng nodded obediently. “I’ll be careful.”
Looking at his pitiful appearance, Li Qiang couldn’t bear to blame him anymore. He looked down at the time and said, “After treating your wound, I’ll send you to my apartment to stay. It’s always empty. You can stay there for the next few days.”
Jian Changsheng subconsciously wanted to smile at Li Qiang, but he pulled the wound on his face. He immediately gasped in pain.
…
Italy, International Mercenary Group headquarters.
Hans stood at the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room and looked out. His expression revealed no emotions.
There was the sound of military boots on the ground. A subordinate walked in quickly and stood behind Hans. “Boss, they’re here.”
Hearing this, Hans slowly turned around and walked to the sofa. After sitting down, he said, “Let them in.”
The subordinate nodded and retreated.
Not long after, messy footsteps came from outside the door. Then, five people entered the house one after another.
There were three men and two women, and they all looked like foreigners with deep facial features. After the five of them entered the house, they sat on the sofa, looking like they were not afraid of Hans.
Hans did not show any displeasure. He only raised his eyes and swept his gaze across everyone’s faces. Then, he asked, “Where’s Irene?”
Sitting next to the right of Hans was a bald Black man with a burly figure. His name was Andrew. Hearing this, he answered, “Irene has something on. She won’t be taking part in this mission.”
Beside Andrew sat a petite blond woman. The woman was only wearing hot pants and a tube top. Her leg muscles were beautiful and firm, and she looked charming. There was always a smile on her face. Her name was Louise.
Louise looked at Hans with a playful smile and said, “Isn’t five people enough? What kind of target requires all six of us to be present?”
When Hans heard this, he couldn’t help but say with a serious expression, “I don’t want to take a single cent of the fifty million US dollars reward for this mission. As for how many of you will go, and how you split the money after this is done, is your business. I only have one request, and that is to kill the target and everyone around him. Leave no one alive.”
“Fifty million US dollars?”
Hearing this number, the blond man on the other side couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows slightly, as if he was very satisfied with this reward. “Why don’t you let me go alone? This way, everyone won’t have to worry about splitting the money.”
The man’s name was Gale. He was a handsome, greedy, and lecherous European.
Hans’ expression darkened when he heard that. He immediately looked at Gale coldly. “If it was such an easy target, do you think I would help you get such a high remuneration?”
