Looking at the bald assassin firing wildly in front of him, Zhang Jie didn't hesitate to press his thumb under his middle finger, then clenched his fist and delivered a powerful punch to the man's temple.
The man, who had been somewhat panicked, instantly quieted down.
He lay limp on the ground.
Then, Zhang Jie pulled out two somewhat oversized zip ties from his pocket and bound the man's hands and feet.
He then thoroughly checked every corner of the man's body, finding two false teeth with two poison packets in his molars, which he promptly removed.
After a complete check, Zhang Jie sat nearby and waited for him to wake up.
About 10 minutes later, the man slowly regained consciousness, still hearing a buzzing sound in his ears, though it was much better than when it first started.
But the man couldn't be happy, because he knew he had been caught, his hands and feet tightly bound. Running was completely out of the question. He knew these zip ties were assassin-specific, designed to prevent those bound from breaking free or snapping them.
They were made of a special, extremely tough material.
Only a very strong person might be able to break them. With his thin arms and legs, he had no chance.
"Tell me, what's your codename?"
After Zhang Jie tied him up, he inspected him and saw a very large, glaring barcode tattoo on the back of his head.
He already knew what this guy was.
ICA (International Contract Agency) is a secret organization that provides assassination and mercenary services.
To hire this organization to kill him, huh, the person behind this really spared no expense.
Faced with Zhang Jie's question, the bald man remained silent, attempting to bite off the pills hidden in his mouth.
"Don't bite them, they're right here!" Zhang Jie showed him the two poison pills he had extracted from his mouth.
The man instantly relaxed. Unable to die, and captured alive, was an extreme humiliation for an assassin.
This was a case of his skill being inferior, and he had nothing more to say.
"Kill me."
The man's words were very direct and resolute.
Zhang Jie lightly tapped the MP9 in his hand on his knee, then looked at the bald man.
"I know you've undergone special training, have extreme stress resistance, and also know you carry tracking chips. But I'm still very curious, who exactly issued the assassination contract on me?"
Zhang Jie muttered to himself, yet also felt a bit curious.
To be honest, he didn't have many enemies. It couldn't be that he made enemies just by taking on missions, that wasn't very realistic.
Lisa, Liu Ziqiang, besides these two, there was also Oriska, and the rest he had taken care of, right?
Liu Ziqiang is a coward; he probably wouldn't spend money to hire someone to kill him, given how poor he is.
So the most likely candidates should be Lisa or Oriska. But Oriska has his own special forces team, so he wouldn't need to spend extra money hiring an assassin. So Oriska can also be ruled out.
That leaves only one person.
His damned ex-girlfriend, Lisa.
"Heh heh, how interesting. I haven't come looking for trouble with you, yet you've come looking for trouble with me repeatedly."
Zhang Jie was actually quite annoyed by this, but the man in front of him simply refused to speak, attempting to delay until reinforcements arrived.
"Fine, if you won't speak, then you'll never speak."
Zhang Jie sighed softly, then stood up and pointed the MP9 in his hand at the man's forehead.
He could see the change in the man's expression, and a desire to live appeared in his eyes.
But he wasn't some soft-hearted person, nor a good Samaritan.
Even if you were hired, you were still trying to take my life, so, goodbye.
With that, Zhang Jie pulled the trigger.
Pfft!
Clearly, the other party hadn't expected Zhang Jie to act so decisively, without any hesitation.
But he had forgotten that this was an assassin's world; killing and being killed were the norm. If you're unwilling to reveal what you know, then I'll naturally send you to your grave. Why keep you around for the New Year?
After dealing with this assassin, Zhang Jie immediately went downstairs.
This problem seemed a bit serious now; he was actually targeted by an ICA assassin.
Although this assassin didn't kill him, what about the next one? Their professional capabilities are not ordinary.
Today, he only had the advantage of the location and the tools.
This time was close-quarters combat, what if next time it's long-range sniping?
That feeling is not good, is it?
After getting in the car, he pulled out his phone and called William, asking him where he was and if he was free. He gave him the address, then asked him to send his bank account number.
A moment later, his phone vibrated, and William's card number appeared on Zhang Jie's phone.
He transferred twenty thousand US dollars to his account.
This trace absolutely had to be completely cleaned up, otherwise, it would truly be troublesome later.
Zhang Jie highly approved of William's craftsmanship, which is why he contacted him again.
When William arrived in his van, Zhang Jie started his car and left.
Back home, Zhang Jie began to ponder. The whole day had been very fulfilling: he took a mission, earned some extra money, and saw an acquaintance.
He dealt with an assassin and spent 20,000 dollars.
There was just one thing he couldn't figure out: why was Lisa so determined to kill him?
After all, she and the original owner were ex-boyfriend and girlfriend; why be so ruthless?
He couldn't understand this question, nor did he want to think about it.
The sky gradually darkened.
Zhang Jie thought it over; it wasn't advisable to stay here long, so he drove Ross's car back to Concord.
Not long after Zhang Jie left, a car stopped in front of the apartment, and then several people got out. They stopped at the apartment entrance.
"Shit! Are you kidding me? This is Killers Home!"
One of them looked at the symbol on the door and cursed under his breath.
The other person didn't speak, but a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
Ultimately, neither of them entered the door. Instead, they took a photo at the entrance and then got back in the car and left.
As they left, in the house opposite the assassin's apartment, the curtains behind a second-floor window moved slightly.
"I didn't expect you to actually be targeted by ICA people?" The woman chuckled, "Your ability to stir up trouble is quite something."
Then the curtains closed, and the room returned to its calm darkness.
Meanwhile, information about Zhang Jie was rapidly updated in ICA's internal system, and soon his information was upgraded to A-level.
Due to the loss of an assassin, this mission was temporarily frozen.
This meant that no more assassins would take on this mission in the short term, because they now knew how dangerous the target truly was, not even leaving a body behind.
More importantly, he actually lived in Killers Home.
However, with ICA's power, it was naturally impossible for them to swallow this silent loss, so there would definitely be further actions later.
