Chapter 008: Touching the Bottom Line

"Bang!"

Chen Xinyi felt a shock in her heart, and then her face changed.

The old knife didn't shoot, and Chen Xinyi wasn't scared.

"When, you're still in the mood for a joke?" Chen Xinyi turned around quickly, with anger in her eyes, staring at Zhang Ran, who had just made a sound.

"It's a tacit understanding of ours." Zhang Ran did not change his mood because of Chen Xinyi's attitude, he even had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and this smile came from the tacit understanding between him and the old knife that he just said.

The old knife holding the spear walked to Zhang Ran's side expressionlessly, sat down, and let out a sigh.

"What, it's said that it's a retreat, but you still don't forget to prepare these guys for yourself?"

The old knife nodded, and gently patted the spear again.

Zhang Ran smiled again, "If you don't put a handful under the bed and stuff a handful under the pillow, you won't be able to sleep well at night, right?" ”

The old knife nodded again. This time, Zhang Ran didn't smile, his face was clean, and he sighed softly. Maybe this is their fate, the fate of mercenaries! After being a mercenary all their lives, the life of licking blood every day has already distorted their personalities, even if they can survive smoothly and retire, it will be difficult to return to the life of normal people in this life.

Perhaps this is the so-called "comprehensive sequelae of war", Zhang Ran has heard of this professional term, and can also deeply understand the return to the ordinary old knife, in fact, he has been looking forward to the arrival of this moment in his heart.

Reaching over and patting the old knife's shoulder, Zhang Ran said, "Take your time, life needs to get used to." ”

"Difficult!"

The old knife shook his head, looked at Zhang Ran, and then looked at Chen Xinyi.

At this time, Chen Xinyi's heart moved, and said, "I can hire you, high salary!" ”

Hearing Chen Xinyi's words, Zhang Ran turned around, looked at her in amazement with the old knife.

"Really."

Under the gaze of the four knife-sharp eyes, Chen Xinyi's voice fell, descended, like a newborn kitten muttering, she was nervous, but this nervousness was immediately resolved by Zhang Ran and Lao Dao's loud laughter.

"How much can you give?" Lao Dao has always disliked talking, even if he hasn't seen Zhang Ran for a few years, he is still used to it, and he is used to letting Zhang Ran be his voice.

"Me"

Chen Xinyi felt more and more uncomfortable, she felt as if she had been played by the two seemingly honest men in front of her, and she had broken it. Holding her breath in her heart, Chen Xinyi couldn't care about everything, and said loudly to Zhang Ran: "How much do you think you should give, how much is a life worth, you offer a price!" ”

"Hmm~" Zhang Ran pursed his lips and nodded, "I believe you have this ability, but what I'm thinking about now is whether your money will kill you?" Otherwise, how could you be in the trunk of the Poison King? ”

"The Poison King?"

The old knife, who had not been silent, finally opened his mouth and spit out two words.

"I was kidnapped by him. He wants to...... Ransom, $100 million. At this time, Chen Xinyi didn't feel that there was anything to hide, she basically had more than 90% trust in Zhang Ran.

Chen Xinyi's answer was not Zhang Ran's expectation, and what Zhang Ran was curious about was whether there was a conspiracy behind this kidnapping case, after all, it was difficult to think that a little girl like Chen Xinyi could be worth such an exaggeration of 100 million US dollars.

The drug king's revenge fund also happens to be 100 million dollars, is this just a coincidence?

Wanting to kidnap a young girl with such a status as the Poison King is not just a matter of more money and less money, even in the mercenary world, it has its own rules. Zhang Ran frowned, but he didn't say what he was thinking about, he turned to the old knife and said in a low voice:

"I sniped him, but I didn't expect him to have a secret revenge fund, and the investigation was not done well beforehand." Speaking of this, Zhang Ran couldn't help but shake his head, of course he would not push this consequence on Bai Ge, although in fact the intelligence work was in charge of Bai Ge.

"I know you're going to shoot anyway."

Lao Dao's words are always concise and to the point, and only Zhang Ran and a few other people can get used to the way Lao Dao speaks and correctly understand the meaning of Lao Dao.

Zhang Ran did not answer the question of whether to shoot. He took the spear in the old knife's hand, rubbed it between his hands for a while, and with his nimble ten-finger movement, the bolt of the M4 was removed and thrown back to the old knife.

The expression on the old knife's face was a little stunned, and he looked down at the bolt in his hand, and his face looked a little gloomy.

"Stay for two days, Lao Dao, you are clean here, just eat and drink, and we will leave after two days." Zhang Ran put down the M4, clapped his hands, and stood up easily, as if he and Chen Xinyi were just coming to Hong Kong City for their honeymoon and casually coming to see Lao Dao, an old friend.

Chen Xinyi over there is also a smart girl, and when she saw Zhang Ran's expression, she understood his thoughts in her heart - she didn't want to involve the old knife who had already left that kind of life. At this time, Chen Xinyi regretted a little, regretting that she shouldn't have said anything about hiring an old knife just now, but don't provoke Zhang Ran's jealousy because of this.

Thinking of this, Chen Xinyi couldn't help but glance at Zhang Ran, but fortunately, Zhang Ran didn't say much.

Lao Dao has always been a man who is not good at words, he was and is now, and more importantly, he respects Zhang Ran very much, and this respect is not just because Zhang Ran was once his leader.

In this way, Zhang Ran and Chen Xinyi lived in the old house of Lao Dao, and they lived a peaceful life for two days.

In fact, a person like Zhang Ran is really willing to hide, even if the mercenaries from all over the world unite to hunt him down, it will be difficult to find him, the problem is that there is a Chen Xinyi by his side, and more importantly, Chen Xinyi, who lived for two days, began to slowly show an anxious look.

Zhang Ran is a careful person, and when he led a team, he was known for treating his team members well.

"Something?"

In the middle of the night, Chen Xinyi stood beside the bed, looking at the charming neon on the Tsing Ma Bridge, but her face was not intoxicated, only sad.

Zhang Ran walked by, he glanced at the Qingma Bridge, but his eyes did not hesitate or stop at all, and turned to Chen Xinyi's face.

"I want to go home."

"Where?"

"Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia."

"It turned out to be Malaysian." Zhang Ran nodded.

"Do you discriminate against foreign Chinese or small Chinese?"

"Neither." Zhang Ran pursed his lips slightly, "It's just that looking at your skin color, it doesn't look like you grew up in Kuala Lumpur." ”

Zhang Ran said this, Chen Xinyi did agree. Due to family reasons, she did not spend much time in Kuala Lumpur. Since she was a child, Chen Xinyi was sent by her family to study in Europe, and when she was older, she went to the United States and other developed countries to study, or her knowledge of Kuala Lumpur is even far less than that of London, New York, Tokyo, Paris or even Beijing.

"I rarely stay in Kuala Lumpur." Chen Xinyi turned her head and stared at Zhang Ran with her eyes, "Is it true that families with too much money often have no feelings?" ”

"Why do you ask?"

"I'm just asking"

Chen Xinyi said that if she played here, she would be speechless, and Zhang Ran was not a person who was born to talk a lot, but silence did not mean that the two did not understand the true meaning of what they had just talked about. Zhang Ran shrugged his shoulders slightly, he really didn't understand family matters, maybe it was a blessing for a person like him to not have family ties.

"Now that you've thought about it, do you still want to go home?" Zhang Ran frowned.

"But that's always my home." Chen Xinyi's expression was a little sad, a layer of mist appeared in a pair of big eyes in an instant, if it weren't for the pain caused by clenching her teeth, which stimulated her, she was afraid that she would not be able to control the tears in her eyes and roll down.

"I can't keep wandering outside like this, although I don't like it too much, I don't like all those complicated affairs, that huge monster, but it is always my father's legacy in the future, it is the convergence of his life's energy, I can't bear it."

"Do you have any siblings?"

Zhang Ran is not a soft-hearted person, and he will not be easily shaken by Chen Xinyi's plea at this time.

"No, I'm the only daughter in my family." Gently wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Chen Xinyi sniffed and tried her best to make her voice speak normally. "If I hadn't been an only daughter, maybe I wouldn't have been kidnapped."

"I see. There is also a risk that you will go back, and since you have been kidnapped once, there may be a second time. ”

"With you, do I have to worry about this?" Chen Xinyi smiled, there were tears in the corners of her eyes, but she was really laughing.

"I can't protect myself. You should also see the power of that revenge fund, with me, you may not be kidnapped, but you may be implicated. Zhang Ran's brows furrowed again, he didn't want to be dragged down by his side when he was being chased and killed by mercenaries from all over the world.

However, Chen Xinyi's next sentence made Zhang Ran almost unable to hold back and slapped her hard!

"I already know that Old Knife lives here, and it seems that he doesn't want to live a stable life all the time!"

I have to say that Chen Xinyi's words touched Zhang Ran's bottom line! He didn't speak, but his eyes turned cold, and his eyes were like lone wolves walking on the Siberian ice field, cold to the bone!

Zhang Ran's nickname in the industry is the saber, and the saber is a thing that only reflects its power when it kills blood. And what Zhang Ran can't bear the most is that someone threatens him, especially using his brother to threaten him!

"You and I" felt the coldness to the bone, Chen Xinyi realized how outrageous what she said just now, and at the same time understood that her weight in Zhang Ran's heart was far inferior to Lao Dao, she overestimated herself, even if she was young, beautiful, and rich.

Bai Fumei is not a universal pass, at least in front of Zhang Ran, it won't work!

Chen Xinyi, who retreated unconsciously, regretted it incomparably, and she even forgot that there was a window behind her, and this window only had a thin wooden railing.

With a soft "pop", the wooden railing that was eroded by the sea breeze and scorching sun was easily broken by Chen Xinyi's back, and Chen Xinyi, who suddenly lost her center of gravity, let out a terrible exclamation in her mouth, and the whole person turned her back to the window and fell!
