Ping Qiong sucked the Honey Tangerine juice from her fingers, and said regretfully, "...If we really want to do it, we'll need some really good equipment."
Li Fu looked at Ye Shijie and said with a smile, "What do you think, Ye Dui?"
Ye Shijie took a bite of his Fried Dough Sticks, crunched for a while, and then said, "...Yeah, you're right, then forget it."
Xia Chujian was calculating in her mind.
It wasn't that she hadn't thought about finding an opportunity to kill Fan Chengcai herself, but he had returned to Da Fu Prefecture, and her aunt had recovered and been discharged from the hospital, so her actions were very restricted, and she couldn't think of a way for a while.
Now that there was the condition of the Hunted List, she should be able to make good use of it...
But she didn't want to drag her teammates into the water.
She wanted to act alone.
And earn some extra money, so she could buy a nice house in the next district and make her aunt more comfortable.
She could also buy her aunt's favorite red wine, skincare products, and things she had once longed for but couldn't get.
Xia Chujian thought to herself, a look of regret on her face, and sighed, "Maybe Fan Chengcai's life isn't meant to end, what do you guys think, what's the intention of the person who posted this task on the Hunted List?"
The other four looked at each other, not knowing how to answer the question.
Xia Chujian continued, "If he knows about it himself, he will definitely hire more bodyguards for himself, and be more cautious when going out, so this Hunted List task is actually helping him, right?"
"The person who posted the task, it's not certain whether he hates Fan Chengcai, or is deliberately protecting him..."
Everyone looked at each other in dismay.
Only Li Fu muttered, "Protecting him shouldn't be the case... Even if the bounty is low, it's still a Hunted List task, that means taking someone's life."
Xia Chujian was silent.
Of course she knew, she was just saying that on purpose, to dispel her teammates' thoughts of taking on the task.
...
At this time, inside the Da Fu Prefecture Fan Family mansion, Fan Chengcai, who was supposed to be comfortably recuperating, was in a furious rage.
"Who?! Who the hell is buying my life! - Is my life only worth two million?! Isn't that insulting?!"
"Second Young Master, look on the bright side, the price is so low, the risk is so high, no powerful Bounty Hunter will take the task, right? This is protecting you..."
Hearing these words, the enraged Fan Chengcai calmed down slightly, but he was still furious.
He slowly walked back to the long sofa in front of the French windows and sat down.
Outside the window, the afterglow of the setting sun covered the Green Pine and Bamboo.
Outside was an open-air swimming pool surrounded by Green Pine and Bamboo, with geothermal automatic heating.
White mist floated over the blue swimming pool, like a fairyland.
Looking at this beautiful scenery, the anger in Fan Chengcai's heart completely dissipated.
He scoffed, picked up a glass of highly refined white wine, slowly sipped it, and said slowly, "Find out for me, who wants my life!"
"...Second Young Master, the tasks on the Hunted List are reviewed by the Law and Justice Department. Our people haven't gotten into the Law and Justice Department yet..."
Fan Chengcai drank the rest of the white wine in one gulp, and with a bang, threw away the empty coarse pottery wine glass in his hand.
The expensive coarse pottery wine glass shattered on the hard floor.
He grinned and said, "Then our next target is the Law and Justice Department! - Find the Director of the Disciplinary Department for me, I want to talk to him!"
He was only the Deputy Director of the Da Fu Prefecture Disciplinary Department, but at this moment, his attitude was as if he was not the Director's deputy, but the Director's father.
His subordinates didn't feel anything wrong, and immediately sent a message to the Director of the Disciplinary Department, asking him to come to the Fan residence quickly.
The Director of the Disciplinary Department, who used to run over as soon as he was summoned, acted abnormally this time.
He didn't come over immediately, but just sent a message back, saying that he was dealing with inquiries from the Special Security Bureau Information Department, and didn't have time to come to the Fan residence for the time being, and would come to greet the Fan Family head after he was done.
When Fan Chengcai's subordinates saw this message, they felt a thump in their hearts, feeling that something was wrong.
He secretly glanced at Fan Chengcai, and said in a low voice, "Second Young Master, the Director said that he is dealing with a task assigned by the Special Security Bureau, and can't come for the time being..."
The words about greeting the Fan Family head later were directly embarrassing Fan Chengcai, meaning, I am someone who is on equal footing with your father, so don't pretend to be an elephant.
But even if he didn't say the last sentence, Fan Chengcai still couldn't stand it.
He had been throwing his weight around on Guiyuan Star for so long that he was used to being the little emperor here.
Fan Chengcai stood up and said proudly, "If he doesn't come now, he can forget about coming for the rest of his life! The director of the Disciplinary Department can be replaced! Does he think he's irreplaceable?! On this Guiyuan Star, who have I, Fan Chengcai, ever been afraid of?!"
...
Xia Yuanfang's lunch was ready.
Because Xia Chujian's teammates had arrived rather hastily, she hadn't prepared much, only using ordinary pork and beef bought from the nearby fresh food supermarket to make a few home-style dishes.
A plate of Red Braised Pork, a pot of Clear Stewed Beef, some Garlic Green Vegetables, and a fruit platter.
Although there weren't many dishes, there was plenty of food.
She made four bowls of Red Braised Pork alone.
There were two large earthenware pots of Clear Stewed Beef.
There was less Garlic Green Vegetables, only one plate.
There were two fruit platters, placed at opposite ends of the dining table.
The teammates helped set the table, and at first, they were still being polite, thanking Xia Yuanfang profusely, calling her "Aunt Xia, Aunt Xia" with great affection.
But as soon as they started eating, they were immediately conquered by the unprecedented deliciousness.
They had eaten pork, even top-quality Black Truffle Wild Rhino Pig, but they had never eaten such delicious Red Braised Pork! And this meat was just ordinary farmed pork.
They had also eaten beef, even Unicorn Cattle that was suspected of enhancing Mental Strength, but compared to the current Clear Stewed Beef, that Unicorn Cattle was tasteless.
Most importantly, this ordinary home-style dish actually allowed everyone to experience different flavors.
As Ye Shijie ate the Red Braised Pork, he seemed to return to his childhood, when his father was still alive, and the happiest time every day after work was when the family was together, eating a meal cooked by his mother.
Although his mother's cooking skills weren't good, with the added bonus of memory, every dish she made became supremely delicious.
Li Fu swallowed a mouthful of Clear Stewed Beef and seemed to see the little girl crying by the pond back then. He walked over, comforted her softly, and then she slowly leaned into his arms...
Good food is like a beautiful woman, and beauty can also be eaten.
Song Mingqian's feeling was rather strange. He thought the Garlic Green Vegetables were the most delicious because they were the most expensive at the moment.
Winter green leafy vegetables, and not mechanically grown, were very rare.
That unique garlic flavor was like someone, pungent and moving.
Ping Qiong's favorite was the fruit platter. Although she also loved Red Braised Pork and Clear Stewed Beef, this simple fruit platter was something she had longed for many times as a child, but always had to give to her younger siblings.
She ate it in large mouthfuls until Song Mingqian piled Red Braised Pork and Clear Stewed Beef high in her bowl.
"...Don't just eat fruit, it won't fill you up," Song Mingqian reminded quietly.
Ping Qiong glared at him and said, "Then what about you? Why do you keep eating green leafy vegetables? Can green leafy vegetables fill you up?"
This is the second update. There will be a new update at 12:05 tonight.
