Seeing Sun Miao’s strange expression, Ming Li frowned and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”
“Ah?” Sun Miao looked at Ming Li flusteredly. “Nothing, nothing.”
Ming Li nodded, let out a faint hum, and said, “Okay, then the company is left to you. I’ll be busy recently, don’t look for me unless it’s something important.”
“Oh, okay, I understand.”
The two discussed a few more matters, and time passed quickly, turning into evening.
Afterward, Ming Li told Sun Miao the company’s address.
Looking at the key in her hand, Sun Miao’s eyes widened in shock. Snapping back to reality, she sighed, “The hateful rich people!”
After they parted ways, Ming Li returned home.
The aroma of food wafted from the kitchen. Seeing Ming Li return, Mother Qin said kindly, “Li Li, go call your father to dinner.”
“Okay.”
Before long, the family of three sat at the dining table, enjoying their dinner harmoniously.
“Mom, Dad, I’m a bit sleepy, I’m going to bed.”
“Okay, then Li Li, go to bed early.” Mother Qin said gently.
“Mhm.”
Ming Li returned to her room and, with a flick of her wrist, set up a barrier. Her figure then vanished into the room like a wisp of smoke.
Seeing this, the system asked, “……Host, where are you going now?” Damn it! Cheating host!
Ming Li’s voice was faint, “Making money.”
The system: “……”
In the blink of an eye, Ming Li’s figure appeared outside the stronghold of a killer organization in a certain country.
“Who? Who’s there?”
A strange male voice sounded vigilantly. Ming Li instantly felt dozens of gun barrels aimed at her, ready to turn her into a sieve with a single command.
Ming Li raised her eyebrows and stated directly, “I’m here to join the organization.”
“Oh? Are you?”
At this moment, a teasing voice rang out. Ming Li glanced over faintly, seeing a tall figure emerge from the darkness of the night, entering her field of vision. It was a man with a high nose and deep-set eyes.
“Why do you want to join us? This is a job stained with blood. If you don’t want to live, you don’t have to do it like this with your slender arms and legs.”
Ming Li narrowed her eyes and truthfully replied, “I need money.”
“Hahahaha!” The man suddenly burst into laughter upon hearing this, and said, “Not bad! We have plenty of money, but it depends on whether you have the ability to take it.”
Ming Li’s lips curved into a shallow arc. “How can I join you?”
“You’re very interesting, come with me.”
With that, he turned and walked towards the castle not far away.
Ming Li followed, sensing even more gun barrels aimed at her.
Ming Li: “……”
The system in the space also sensed it, its heart trembling.
“Can you fight?” the man in front suddenly asked.
“Yes.”
Hearing this, the man froze for a moment, turned his head to scan Ming Li’s figure, and seemed somewhat disbelieving.
“Don’t believe me? You can fight me.”
Upon hearing Ming Li’s words, the man chuckled without speaking, thinking Ming Li was overestimating herself.
Entering the castle, Ming Li clearly felt several probing gazes cast from the shadows.
The man led Ming Li to an underground fighting arena and said, “Come on, prove your strength.”
Ming Li raised her eyebrows and was about to climb onto the fighting platform when she was stopped by the man beside her. “Wait, sign the waiver of life and death first.”
Waiver of life and death?
Ming Li looked at the man. “It’s okay to kill, right?”
“Heh!” The man let out a disdainful laugh and said, “Yes, if you can survive, our organization welcomes you.”
Hearing this, Ming Li calmly picked up the pen and signed her name: Ming Li.
The man looked at the two characters “Ming Li” on the waiver and raised his eyebrows. He glanced towards the shadows.
Those in the shadows received his gaze and nodded. They quickly went to investigate Ming Li’s identity.
