Interstellar Number One Farmer: I Only Want To Farm!-Chapter 65 - 25: Assassin 2

The client was introduced by the famous lawyer Zhang. Will he sue him?

A terrifying thought arose, and Xiang Qian could only pretend to be pitiful, stammering, "Miss Su, you are magnanimous, please forgive me. What I just said was the truth, not a single false word..."

"Not a single one, only one?"

Xiang Qian couldn’t withstand Su Xiaocai’s gentle probing, "The last one..."

He couldn’t say, the killer had just left, might still be lurking nearby. Xiang Qian clutched his head, sagged his shoulders, and resignedly said, "I can’t say anything. I’ll return the money to you. Let’s end the investigation here."

"No need, it’s not easy for you either. You’re a hacker, right? If you want to continue as a detective, practice Qi Sensing more and enhance your combat skills. Also learn more counter-surveillance techniques."

Su Xiaocai had no intention of pursuing the matter.

Xiang Qian, however, looked grief-stricken, "Miss, can I just return the money, please stop talking."

His dignity and pride had already been crushed to smithereens.

"Don’t worry, I won’t do anything."

Su Xiaocai leisurely tapped on the keyboard, clicking on a spherical icon.

It quickly ran, and a line appeared on the screen, "Hello, master, Wisdom 03 is starting for the first time, delighted to serve you."

Su Xiaocai typed a string of code on the keyboard, opened the network key set by Xiang Qian, and cautiously checked his surrounding surveillance and the typical internet traces of people nearby.

Soon, she tracked down Xiang Qian’s address.

"I told you not to return the money, move to another house. Don’t live in such densely populated areas, your hacking skills are good, but you don’t have as much money as the other party, who can spend a lot to buy equipment. There are surveillance cameras everywhere monitoring you."

Xiang Qian was so shocked he fell to the ground, quickly scanning the room, "Who are you, so powerful, why do you need a detective to investigate, can’t you do it yourself?"

Su Xiaocai was silent, it was obvious because she didn’t know much about the other party’s background, hence the probing.

Detectives take jobs, care about money not life, proof of life often doesn’t pay enough.

She was in school, unable to do many things.

If she wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, she could only rely on detectives, kind of unprincipled, but highly efficient.

When Zhang Rui Kai provided her with candidates, she intentionally avoided those with extensive experience, mainly because they were expensive and worked too covertly.

Xiang Qian was suitable; a bit young, in the field for three years, somewhat capable, but had failed twice, recently took on several big jobs and completed them smoothly, was in a period of triumph.

"Sorry, I wanted to test others and used you as bait." Su Xiaocai did not mention financial compensation, it was pointless to say, just like the harm caused by rumormongers.

Of course. If the other party demanded compensation, she would gladly provide it.

Xiang Qian smiled wryly, "It’s okay, being a detective, it was expected, it’s not my first time facing danger."

A regular worker earns several thousand a month, he earns ten thousand to a million, high rewards come with high risks, being a detective is never smooth sailing, there’s always a risk of sudden revenge and getting one’s head blown off.

Xiang Qian: "You’re quite kind, truly, the first person to apologize to me. Previous employers, several of them were arrogant, even if they were in the wrong, they blamed others."

Receiving a torrent of foul language, yet not getting the final payment.

Su Xiaocai was a straightforward and hassle-free employer.

Su Xiaocai flashed a slight smile, maybe Xiang Qian was truly kind, for not blaming her.

She herself was not kind at all, could be quite bad.

For the sake of survival, she once left a squad behind to escape.

If not escaped, all would have perished, but escaping left only her alive.

Between logic and emotion, logic always prevailed.

It was quite tragic, teammates called for her to stay, but she didn’t.

Even watched them die! It was her fault on purpose, a trap.

So, she was absolutely not kind-hearted.

"I’ve blocked all surveillance around you and generated alternative footage. You’d better move within a week. Our conversation traces will be erased; if something really happens, you can find me, I will help you once within my abilities. Goodbye!"

"Thank you, I’ll move immediately."

The call ended, and Xiang Qian’s account had an additional hundred thousand, he felt somewhat unreal, glanced around, and shivered.

Forget it, forget it, life preservation is important, he should take fewer jobs involving major powers in the future. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

...

Su Xiaocai tapped her fingers on the table, closing her eyes in thought.

Carefully recalling the conversation with the detective.

Xiang Qian was a hacker himself, yet hinted that the killer asked her to find a hacker.

Thinking of a possibility, could it be a trap?

Su Xiaocai sat upright, logged into several forums, and searched for news about the Xue Family.
