'Bang!'
Hearing the familiar gunshot, John Wick didn't even think before diving behind the sofa. Then, he slithered his way to the cabinet, grabbing the pistol hidden inside.
He listened intently, but apart from the roar of a car engine, there was no other sound.
Weird!
As a top assassin from the Continental Hotel, even though he was retired now, his reputation should still be known throughout the underworld.
So, if some hotshot wanted to make a name for himself and ambushed him, that would make sense.
But what did it mean that the guy fired only one shot and then ran away?
Could it be that the other side was so inept that they didn't even know if they'd killed the enemy?
With a belly full of questions, John Wick cautiously followed the wall, heading towards the door.
But as soon as he reached the doorway, he let out a miserable howl.
His dog, the one he had just gotten, the gift his wife had given him before she died, only had half of its body left in the courtyard, the other half was shattered by bullets.
"Don't come to me for this kind of thing next time, to have to kill such a cute dog!" Jill lightly bit her lip. Even a tomboy was still a woman, and she had no resistance to cute little animals.
If it were up to her, she would have killed John Wick first, and then let Li Qingyuan kill the dog.
"Beauty, your values are really problematic!" Hearing Jill's complaints, Li Qingyuan couldn't help but say.
How could human life not be as important as a dog's life in these people's eyes!
Driving past John Wick's house, the plan was to shoot his dog when it ran out to play in the morning and then make a clean getaway. Given John Wick's vigilance, he wouldn't immediately rush out. This would allow them to complete the mission without alerting him.
Of course, with that guy's vengeful nature, he'd definitely investigate who killed his dog. But the deadline for the mission was tomorrow. Even if he investigated to death, he wouldn't find the culprit.
"So, there are still two missions left, right?" Jill didn't want to discuss whether a human life or a dog's life was more important and started counting on her fingers.
"Yes, that's right!" The person originally intended to say one, but remembering what he'd said to trick Jill, he quickly changed his answer.
They had just arrived here from Los Angeles. The mission to kidnap Jinmi had been completed three days ago, so he, playing the good guy, had sent the person back to Los Angeles.
The main reason was that Rambo had already been lured to Africa yesterday, likely leading to another large-scale military conflict. However, this was perfect for him to complete his mission.
Leaving aside how Brian, who had been tracking for half a month and was on the verge of collapse, lost control of his emotions after seeing his daughter, the mission list now only had finding Ethan Hunt left.
However, the current timeframe didn't seem to align with his storyline, so it was unknown where that guy was hiding.
Of course, if he really put in the effort, he could probably find him. But Li Qingyuan felt the cost-effectiveness of going to all that trouble for that guy was just too low!
"Aren't you going to do that Ethan Hunt mission?" Jill asked, looking out the car window.
"Forget it. We're going back tomorrow. I'll just do the last mission!" Compared to that Ethan Hunt kid, Kavani was a much more tempting prospect.
"Two people probably won't fit, right?" Jill asked hesitantly.
The reason she could follow Li Qingyuan into the mission world, switching places with someone else, was mainly due to his amazing personal space and the amniotic fluid cultivation tank produced by the Umbrella Corporation.
He had sweet-talked Jill into believing that his seventh mission was to bring Kavani back. To bring a living person out of the world, they had to use the amniotic fluid cultivation tank.
It was a bit empty with just Jill inside. But if they squeezed two people in, there might be some issues!
Especially since he was a full 1.8 meters tall. Jill thought squeezing in with him would definitely be a hassle.
"We'll manage. It should be fine!" Li Qingyuan thought for a moment. Two people would be crowded, of course, but considering that even the Wuling Hongguang could fit more than thirty people, two in an amniotic fluid cultivation tank shouldn't be a problem.
There was no better solution at this point, so Jill could only agree, frowning.
The next day's New York headlines reported a strange piece of news: someone had broken into a billionaire's wedding and snatched the bride!
It was said that the groom and the bride's father offered a reward of over a hundred million US dollars for the missing bride. Private investigators all over the world went crazy for this sky-high reward. However, even after many years, and even after the US president had changed, no one found the bride's whereabouts!
This case was considered the number one unsolved case of the twenty-first century, and it was still talked about with great interest even hundreds of years later.
(This plot is my obsession. Later plots related to this woman will be sent in files within the group, and will not appear in the main text. Please forgive the obsession of a delusional patient!)
"Sucking Energy Technique?"
Back in the main world, Li Qingyuan hadn't recovered from his chaotic thoughts when he saw a blur before his eyes. The Landlady flashed in front of him and grabbed his wrist.
"Hey, Sister Hua, we're familiar, but you can't just take advantage of me like this!"
The Landlady's registered name was You Qianhua, but with this couple, one didn't have money, and the other did. Anyone with eyes could see it was definitely a fake name.
"Sucking Energy Technique? Wife, did you see wrong?" Mo Youqian flashed to Li Qingyuan's side at this moment, looking at the Landlady with a face full of astonishment.
"Strange!"
The Landlady let go of Li Qingyuan's wrist. She had just used her internal energy to test his meridians and found that they were completely blocked. Not to mention internal energy, this guy definitely hadn't even practiced external skills.
But his physical fitness was terrifying, especially when Li Qingyuan touched the guy wrapped in bandages like a mummy. In that instant, she felt his temperament seemed to have undergone a huge change.
This made her instantly think that he had cultivated the legendary Sucking Energy Technique, which could increase one's cultivation by stealing the internal energy that others had painstakingly cultivated.
"I'm sorry, I was too sensitive!" The Landlady laughed awkwardly.
She realized at this moment that even if Li Qingyuan really knew the Sucking Energy Technique, he would have targeted them, not the mummy. That guy didn't know the slightest bit of internal energy, so what energy was there to suck!
