Let's Squander A Billion First!-Chapter 464 - Golden Tycoon (29)
Chapter 464: Chapter 464 Golden Tycoon (29)
“Chuzheng, this mission was pretty simple, so I took it for you. It counts as this month’s performance, and you can arrange the rest of your time freely.”
Ah Hua was seeking praise from Chuzheng.
That’s right, even their organized crime team needed to have their performance evaluated.
Who said being an assassin was all about freedom!
Chuzheng had no objections and took on the mission.
However, the mission was out of town and Chuzheng needed to leave for two days.
...
Jin Ning had lived well by himself before, so Chuzheng was fairly confident about him and left that same day.
After getting off the plane, she received a call from Jin Ning and then told him she was away on business.
Jin Ning was silent for a while.
“You didn’t tell me.”
“I’m telling you now,” replied Chuzheng nonchalantly.
The most uptodate nove𝙡s are published on frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓.
“…” Jin Ning was silent again, “When will you return?”
“Soon.”
“Okay.”
Beep beep beep—
Jin Ning hung up the phone first.
Chuzheng: “…”
He actually hung up on me!!
The little guy is getting bold, huh!!
–
“What are you doing?”
Chuzheng pressed down on the person with a chair and raised a finger, signaling for the subdued person to keep quiet.
The man, facing the muzzle of the gun, trembled and dared not move.
“Nothing much,” Chuzheng said calmly.
“Shall I start a video call?” the person on the other end asked softly.
“…” Chuzheng glanced at the trembling man and flatly agreed, “Okay.”
The video connected, and Jin Ning was sitting in the study, showing only his upper body and looking somewhat weary.
“What’s the matter?”
Chuzheng leaned against the chair, a painting from an unknown dynasty hanging behind her, creating an odd appearance; everything else was white.
She held her phone in one hand and rested the other on the table. The angle of the video showed just above her wrist, concealing the gun in her hand.
“Nothing much. My mom came by just now and asked about you,” Jin Ning said. “She wants us to come over for dinner when we have time.”
“Okay.”
Because of the video, the sound played through the speaker.
The man standing across from her shivered with fear, looking at the girl sitting in the chair, talking on the phone nonchalantly.
At such a time, she still had the leisure to make a phone call.
“Where are you?” Jin Ning suddenly asked.
“The hotel,” Chuzheng responded casually.
Jin Ning’s gaze fell on the painting behind Chuzheng and casually asked, “Decided when you will be back?”
“Tonight,” Chuzheng lowered her gaze to the man, “Should be very soon.”
Chuzheng ended the call.
The man across from her dropped to his knees with a thud: “I’ll give you money, I have lots of money, any amount you want. Please, just don’t kill me.”
“I have plenty of money,” Chuzheng said irritably.
Those offering me money are devils! Get it done!
“What do you want, then? Name it, and I’ll make sure to get it for you, just don’t kill me.”
“Sorry, I have professional ethics.” I’m a cold-blooded assassin.
“…”
The man’s face turned ashen.
“Who… who wants me dead? Let me die with the knowledge!!”
Who wants you dead?
That question…
With a cold expression, Chuzheng replied, “I have professional ethics.” How would I know which Bastard wants you dead.
The employer’s information wasn’t sent to them after all.
“…”
–
Chuzheng took a private jet back home that same evening.
She received a message from Jin Ning on the plane and glanced at it, consistently practicing her ‘ignore junk messages’ policy.
[…]
If a little fairy like you has a partner, it must have been snatched away!!
Ding—
Ding—
Messages kept coming in one after another.
How is there signal on a private jet!
She should have turned off her phone!
No!
She shouldn’t have listened to Bastard’s advice about taking a private jet!
Chuzheng rubbed her head.
…Does the little guy miss me that much?!
Chuzheng tapped open the text message and discovered it wasn’t sent by Jin Ning.
Instead, it was from an unknown number.
A picture was sent.
The images were chaotic, several were blurry, and only a faint mark could vaguely be discerned.
In the last one, Chuzheng saw Jin Ning’s hand and a watch on his wrist frozen at 2:30 a.m.
His hand was bound…
Chuzheng: “!!”
Which Bastard!!!
Chuzheng couldn’t get in touch with Jin Ning, she silently held her phone, then stood up after a moment.
“Miss Xia, do you need anything?” The flight attendant came over immediately.
“Can you speed up?” Chuzheng asked calmly.
“Ah?” The flight attendant was taken aback.
This is an airplane!
Not a car!
Chuzheng pushed past her, heading for the cockpit, the flight attendant nervously stopped her, but didn’t dare to be too presumptuous, after all, this was their boss.
“Miss Xia?”
The captain in the cockpit looked at her, puzzled.
“What can I do for you?”
Chuzheng calmly made her request, “I need to get back as soon as possible.”
“Miss Xia, we’ll be arriving soon,” said the captain.
“Speed up.”
Cockpit: “…”
You think this is a car!
“Can’t you do it?”
“It’s not that, Miss Xia, this…”
“I’ll do it.”
Chuzheng glanced at the instrument panel.
She paused.
It looked like… she didn’t know how to fly a plane.
Now this was awkward.
“Miss Xia, this… this won’t do,” the captain exclaimed in shock, “If you have an emergency, I’ll do my best, okay? Can you go back now, please?!”
Chuzheng agreed opportunistically, “As quickly as possible.”
Good, good, no loss of face.
“Alright, alright, please step out,” the captain urged Chuzheng out hastily, afraid she might do something unexpected.
Chuzheng left the cockpit composedly.
It seemed necessary to learn how to fly a plane!
Chuzheng contacted Ah Hua, instructing him to check the apartment first.
Ah Hua replied very quickly.
“Zheng sister, no one is in the apartment, but there are signs of a struggle,” he said.
“I checked the surveillance cameras, one car seemed suspicious, but after following a few roads, it vanished from the cameras,” he added.
Chuzheng sent the blurry images to Ah Hua, “Check for any information in these pictures.”
The images were too fuzzy to make out what they depicted.
But given the current situation, they were likely taken from inside a car, capturing the view through its windows.
–
On a deserted path, two cars were parked without their headlights on, pitch-dark inside, with no one speaking a word.
“Are the checkpoint guards ahead gone yet?”
Someone called on their phone.
“Not yet.”
The person who had hung up the phone started cursing, “Damn, these lunatics, what’s to check in the middle of the night! Full from eating and nothing better to do.”
“Let’s wait a bit more,” someone attempted to pacify.
The cars waited in silence a while longer.
Then, the one who cursed the most suddenly said, “Let’s not wait, let’s take the old road.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Don’t know, feeling annoyed, keep thinking something’s going to go wrong. Better to get the person back early,” he said, “Tell the guys behind to take the old road.”
The two cars started up, turned around, and drove down the path into its depths.
–
Chuzheng dialed Jin Chen’s number.
Jin Chen didn’t know where the party was, with loud noises on his side. Hearing Chuzheng’s voice, he perked up like a shot of adrenaline, and soon the noise ceased.
“Little Fairy, what’s up? Do you need something?” After a pause, Jin Chen added, “I’m definitely not at a nightclub, I’m being good.”
“Do you still have your brother’s tracking details?” Chuzheng asked.
Jin Chen’s tone became serious immediately, “What happened to my brother?”
“Missing. Do you have the tracking or not?” Chuzheng was succinct.
“I do,” Jin Chen said, “Wait for me a second.”
Jin Chen didn’t hang up the phone and opened a hidden app on his phone.

You can’t just casually use your phone on a plane, ha!!
Plot needs, please do not imitate.
