"Bang!"

The container truck smashed through the barricade at the edge of the town and sped away.

The security guard, who was dozing off in the booth, was shocked. Wasn't this supposed to be an easy job? How the hell do I run into something like this on my first day?

In the chaos, while angrily cursing the agency that got him this position, he hurriedly grabbed the radio to report the situation.

Meanwhile, the pink-haired guy sitting in the driver's seat of the container truck anxiously asked, "Cap, Captain, where should we go?"

The chubby captain sitting next to him lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, blew out a smoke ring, and replied, "Let's just go wherever, find a deserted rural road to ditch the truck, then we'll divvy up the money and go our separate ways."

Saying that, he turned off his phone, took out the SIM card, broke it in half, and tossed it out of the window, saying, "Everyone turn off your phones, take out the SIM cards, and throw them away."

At this moment, the heavily made-up woman sitting in the back seat said gravely, "But Captain, what about Old Meng and Old Fang? If we turn off our phones, they won't be able to contact us."

The Old Meng and Old Fang she mentioned were the two people whom the chubby captain had previously signaled to check the situations at various intersections and alleys. But before they returned, the chubby captain had already decisively ordered the escape.

The chubby captain took a deep breath: "From now on, don't contact those two anymore. In fact, don't contact any of us anymore either."

"Captain!"

The woman was flanked by two burly men, who both spoke at the same time. Sitting in the car, they had to keep their heads down or they'd hit the roof.

The chubby captain shook his head and sighed: "You guys are still not cut out for this line of work. Sharing the good and the bad, that's just a complete joke in this trade. When disaster strikes, every man for himself is the norm.

I've told you more than once, if any of us ever gets into trouble, no one should ever contact them again. You don't know if they're calling you with a group of cops sitting around them.

As things stand, that young girl and the people behind her must have realized something was off with Monkey. I'm doing this for your own good. Otherwise, even if I say this has nothing to do with you, the police will never believe it."

After these words, the people in the car turned off their phones and broke their SIM cards. Unlike the chubby captain, they had never experienced anything like this, but faced with this situation, there were no other options left; if they didn't want to get caught, fleeing was their only choice.

...

About twenty minutes later, the container truck stopped on an abandoned dirt road. The people quickly got out of the truck, went to the back to open the lock, and jumped into the container.

The chubby captain approached a metal cage covered with a red cloth. Lifting the cloth, he saw the "Monkey" curled up in the corner, trembling as if sensing its fate.

The Monkey opened its mouth, showing gums with all its teeth gone, its oral cavity empty, and its tongue had been cut out.

The chubby captain opened a metal box filled with bundles of hundred-dollar bills, probably forty or fifty bundles. After counting them, he distributed them among the crew.

"Take the money and go, each to their own. Don't touch the money in your bank account. I'll stay here and take care of this," the chubby captain said.

Everyone nodded, turned around to jump off the truck, but in that instant of turning, they all froze.

The chubby captain sensed something was wrong, turned back, and saw Lin Jiaxuan standing outside the truck with a cold expression.

"Big Tiger, Second Tiger!"

With the chubby captain's shout, the two extremely burly men jumped off the truck and launched an attack on Lin Jiaxuan.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two punches hit her petite body, knocking her several meters away.

However, the attack only made Lin Jiaxuan grunt, as she got up and walked towards the container again, the murderous intent in her eyes even stronger than before.

The two men exchanged glances, feeling something indescribably strange. They were shocked that their punch seemed to have no effect, and privately speculated why she was taking hits but not fighting back.

The next moment, one of them let out a grunt, raised his arm, and swung it over.

Lin Jiaxuan finally stopped passively taking hits and raised her arm to meet the attack, though her movement seemed soft and lacking force.

"Crack!"

A crisp cracking sound was heard—a sound not unfamiliar to martial artists, often accompanying the breaking or dislocating of a bone.

Yet, just when everyone thought this bizarre scene had reached its conclusion, Lin Jiaxuan stood up again, more easily than before, but the murderous look in her eyes only intensified.

The woman inside the container was almost in tears, looking at the chubby captain dealing with the "Monkey," then at Lin Jiaxuan outside with blood at the corner of her mouth, feeling more and more like this was a nightmare they couldn't wake up from...

...

Meanwhile, Xiao Feng looked at the time and asked Lu Yao, "Where's Lin Jiaxuan now?"

Lu Yao took out her phone, opened an app, zoomed in on a lit red dot, and replied, "She's not in town, about ten kilometers away from us."

"Let's go." Xiao Feng stood up, called the boss over to check out, then pointed at Zhao Guo'an who was sipping soup, "He'll pay."

Having said that, he left with the others.

"A total of one hundred and sixty-three, but forget the change, just give me a hundred and sixty," the boss said with a warm smile.

"..." Zhao Guo'an looked at the backs of Xiao Feng and the others, wanting to cry but having no tears, wondering what possessed him to go out with this group.

They arrived at the location, only to see Lin Jiaxuan lying on the ground, her hair, face, and clothes covered in dust, looking utterly disheveled, with severe injuries.

Beside her, several people lay scattered, all with knives to their throats.

For an outstanding assassin, even when severely injured, it doesn't mean a total loss of combat capability.

"Xuanxuan!"

The young girl screamed and hurried over, tears welling up in her eyes, clearly pained by what she saw.

Lin Zhiyan naturally shared the sentiment. Previously, it was easy to just say things, but seeing this scene firsthand made her feel like having her sister remain as is might actually be preferable to enduring such suffering.

Xiao Feng sighed and made a call to Gong Kaishan.

It was his idea, and although Lin Jiaxuan often liked to argue with him, seeing her in such a miserable state brought no sense of satisfaction.

Especially the Monkey in the cage, whose eyes bore fear as well as a faint glimmer of hope, making it hard not to be moved.
