Feng Jun couldnât really provide help with airport security clearances, to tell the truth, there was none.
But his original intent hadnât been to put the individual on a plane, either.
It was only after buying the ticket that Liu Hong suddenly realized something was amissâsuch a purchase meant that if he disappeared within the week, no one would raise an alarm.
At that thought, sweat poured down his brow.
The next moment, he looked up, forced a calm tone, and said, âBrother Feng, I really know I was wrong. Just name your price, a thousand or eight hundred⦠I, Xiao Hong, will certainly gather it for you.â
Feng Junâs left hand was holding a mobile phone, and his right, which had been holding a gun, casually placed a five-six Type submachine gun aside and reached out with a chuckle, grasping the otherâs shoulder, âAh, if only youâd thought like this earlier, wouldnât that be nice? Letâs go!â
The next moment, he stood in the Jade-constructed bedroom, carrying Liu Hongâs corpse.
He had already experimented and found that living creatures couldnât be taken into the alternate dimensionâat least ants and earthworms died instantly, and as for viruses and bacteria, he had not observed.
As expected, when Liu Hong emerged in this space, all signs of life ceased, including heartbeat and breath, yet the body was still warm.
After disposing of the body and erasing all traces, Feng Jun quietly left the rooftop of the small building.
When he returned to the disco, he was startled to find two men sitting in front of Zhang Caixin, gesticulating and saying somethingâit was the group who had sent the champagne.
Zhang Caixin didnât look at them, absentmindedly poking at her fruit juice with a straw, exuding an air of keep your distance.
However, these two were not discouraged and continued talking excitedlyâif they didnât have at least this much thick skin, how could they chase girls?
Suddenly, they saw a smile on the beautyâs face and were overjoyed, ready to intensify their advance, when they saw her smile slightly in one direction and loudly complain, âWhy did it take you so long to come back?â
Immediately afterward, they saw the same man they had seen earlier reappear.
Feng Jun couldnât care less about those two, and with a slight nod to Zhang Caixin, said, âI got a bad stomach, shall we go?â
Zhang Caixin paused, thinking what a fruitless night, leaving just like this?
Despite her playful and elfish nature in private, she was still competent in public, standing up without a word, reaching for her coat, and complaining, âI told you to eat less, yet you never listen.â
Their relationship definitely hadnât progressed this far; she simply wanted to hint to those two that she was already taken, so they should keep their little schemes to themselves.
Unfortunately, those two were probably a bit too drunk to spare any attention for Feng Jun, one slurring as he said, âBeauty, to meet is fate⦠you two, can we add each other on WeChat?â
Zhang Caixin felt annoyed, thinking she had seen thick-skinned people, but never this brazen.
Yet, to scold them directly seemed inappropriate, and since they were leaving anyway, being discreet after a quiet night, it would be pointless to be remembered now.
While she was still torn, Feng Jun suddenly spoke, âDirector Yan, can you control yourself a little?â
A man startled at the words, staring at him, âYou actually know me⦠Who are you?â
âWho I am is not important,â Feng Jun said indifferently, âwhatâs important is, we are leaving.â
Director Yan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded with a smile, âOkay⦠see you later.â
âI rarely visit the Municipal Bureau,â Feng Jun said with a faint smile, âbut still, thanks for the champagne.â
They walked away briskly, leaving the two men looking at each other in dismayâbeing recognized in such a place was indeed embarrassing. What was worse, they had no idea who Feng Jun was.
After a while, the other man comforted him, âItâs okay, you didnât do anything, itâs fine.â
Director Yan sighed with a bitter face, âSigh, Itâs all because of those four envelopesâ¦â
After leaving the disco, there was a taxi across the street; they got in straight away and didnât go far before switching to another car, eventually arriving at a small alley. Feng Jun then brought out a motorcycle from the alley.
The two removed their original coats and changed into new clothes before starting the motorcycle and zooming away.
Zhang Caixinâs new down jacket was very wind-resistant; she wasnât cold at all on the motorcycle. However, the coat was too long, forcing her to sit sideways on the back seat, with her long legs to one side, hugging Feng Junâs waist with her hands.
Being embraced by a beautiful woman, Feng Jun couldnât help but feel a ripple in his heart, albeit the sensation was much less due to the layers of clothing.
As soon as Zhang Caixin got on the motorcycle, she couldnât refrain from asking â she had been holding back too long in the taxi, âThe person who sent me champagne, you donât know him, do you?â
âI know of people like that,â three different faces flashed through Feng Junâs mind, though, of course, he didnât consider himself to be the fourth.
Not a low IQ herself, Zhang Caixin asked further, âThen how did you know his last name is Yan, and that heâs a director?â
Feng Jun was silent and after a while, he answered, âLetâs not talk about what happened today at the Wang Dynasty with anyone.â
âWhatâs there to say about that place?â Zhang Caixinâs opinion of the Wang Dynasty was really not good, but the next moment, she brought the subject back, âCome on, how did you know his surname is Yan?â
âIâm a fortune-teller,â Feng Jun responded insincerely, âNow with the emphasis on combating the four old customs, as a national cadre, he shouldnât be going to those entertainment venues. If he ends up fighting over jealousy, causing serious repercussions, it wouldnât be strange for him to lose his job.â
He was trying to shift the topic, but he overlooked a womanâs interest in divination. Zhang Caixin let out a soft âah,â then eagerly spoke up, âThen why donât you do a reading for me, too?â
âThereâs no need to divine your fate; your survival skills are already maxed out,â Feng Jun replied nonchalantly. âI mean, donât you find the feeling of the cold breeze blowing directly into your mouth⦠quite uncomfortable?â
âIâm behind you,â Zhang Caixin clearly had no intention of considering his feelings, tightening her arms slightly and pressing her face against Feng Junâs back. âYou can drive a bit slower⦠my survival skills, what are those about?â
Feng Jun slowed down the motorcycle a bit, âReincarnation, of course. Once you have that skill down, why would you need your fortune told?â
âI donât feel like I can reincarnate,â Zhang Caixin was somewhat unhappy. Although her father was rich, her family life was far from harmonious. And whatâs more, being rich is one thing, but itâs never the same as having power, right?
The next moment, she brought her attention back to the matter at hand, âWhen can you help me with a reading?â
Fortune-telling isnât something to be taken lightly,â Feng Jun rambled on with mock seriousness, âSeeing too much of heavenâs secrets will turn you blind.â
âBig deal,â Zhang Caixin snorted, âIâll have my sister talk to you about it, see if you dare refuse.â
Feng Jun couldnât be bothered with her. This kind of haughty young girl should be taught by Sister Hong of society.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Caixin saw he wasnât responding and asked again, âIs the matter with the Wang Dynasty settled yet?â
So madam finally gets around to business? Feng Jun snorted inwardly.
However, he hadnât planned to give a straight answer, âYou donât need to worry about that. I took you there today just to cooperate.â
While talking, they reached the entrance of the Grain Bureau Compound. Motorcycles were not allowed in, so he locked his bike casually in the open space at the gate and went in with Zhang Caixin.
Sister Hong was still waiting for news. Seeing them return, she immediately asked, âHow did it go, smoothly?â
Feng Jun glanced around. The two men and a woman in the living room got up and left when they saw them.
Then he showed a toothy grin, âFairly smoothly⦠I gave Liu Hong a plane ticket.â
âPlane ticket?â Sister Hong stared at him puzzled, her leg with its upturned pose trembling. Her legs were clad in deep brown dress pants that drooped conspicuously; at this moment, she somehow managed to give off a sexy vibe.
The next second, she spoke with a smirk that was not quite a smile, âAre you trying to⦠pin this on me?â
âSpur of the moment,â Feng Jun said, spreading his hands with a smile, feeling it necessary to clarify that point, âAnyway, youâve given out a few plane tickets yourself⦠Itâs been a while since Sister Hong showed her might; we canât let others think youâre on your deathbed.â
âYouâre the one on their deathbed!â Sister Hong glared at him, but inside she felt a bit flattered. At least the boy was sharp enough to help reinforce her reputation as Sister Hong.
But when it came to matters of reputation, she always paid extra attention, âWhich day is the ticket for, and whereâs it going? Whatâs the flight number?â
Feng Jun replied crisply, âOne week from now, to Sheep City, the flight number⦠I donât know.â
âYou donât know the flight number?â Sister Hong was not particularly convinced, âThat can be checked. You sure he will go?â
Feng Jun was silent.
Sister Hong waited for a long time, and seeing that he wouldnât answer, her eyes slowly narrowed. Then she put down her leg, reached for a cigarette on the coffee table, and in doing so, revealed a patch of snowy white at her chest, along with the depth of her⦠assets.
She lit a cigarette and took a couple of puffs, and then began to smile again, âNo worries, it doesnât matter if he doesnât go.â
âHe wonât show up again, I guarantee,â Feng Jun also took out a cigarette, âHe bought the ticket himself via WeChat, and after that⦠well, itâs as good as having gone without returning.â
Sister Hong tilted her head to look at him, stunned for about ten seconds, before reaching out with her lighter in hand to light Feng Junâs cigarette.
Feng Junâs hand slipped, and his index and middle fingers tapped lightly on the back of her handâwhen a woman lights your cigarette, you canât exactly consider it taking advantage.â
Sister Hong glanced at his fingers, then asked with a strange expression, âIs this one of those tricks from your private mining business?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
In her imagination, Feng Jun might have already dumped the body in the mountains.
âNo,â Feng Jun shook his head, confirming very firmly, âNo one will find him⦠I mean, no one.â
He bit down especially hard on the last three words.
Sister Hongâs expression grew even more peculiar, âIn this world, are there really such absolutes?â
âI am quite certain⦠there are!â Feng Jun nodded, then stood up and walked toward the door, âIâm a fortune-teller, and I have seen that no one will find him. If you donât believe me, you can ask your sister.â
After saying the final word, he pulled open the door and walked out.
