Dark Night Bar...
At Shen Manni's request,
Xu Mo had someone find her a set of clothes.
It was brand new, unworn.
Due to the urgency of the situation,
They could only find a bunny girl costume in the atmosphere team's backstage area.
Xu Mo initially thought this foolish woman would rather die than change into such an embarrassing outfit.
He figured she'd prefer to stay in her alcohol-soaked clothes.
But Xu Mo was wrong.
Shen Manni went straight into the changing room and put on the outfit.
She carefully packed her original clothes in a bag.
The changing room door opened.
"Manni, let's go. I'll take you home first. Otherwise, when the police arrive, we'll both have to give statements, which would be too troublesome."
Seeing Shen Manni come out,
Xu Mo spoke without much thought.
This was his most honest thought at the moment.
Giving statements and such could be handled by other managers.
There was no need for him to personally deal with it.
Hadn't he noticed how all those people on the second floor had already disappeared?
Xu Mo blinked.
His gaze fell on Shen Manni's graceful figure.
Her face was still slightly flushed, and the bunny girl outfit fit her well.
In a certain sense,
The size was just right.
More or less perfect.
The wide neckline of the upper part highlighted her beautiful neck, revealing her delicate, pink-tinged collarbone.
The lower part was a shiny black bodycon skirt.
It gave off quite a seductive impression.
Who would have thought that the always high-and-mighty, famously cold beauty CEO
Would one day wear such an embarrassing bunny girl costume?
[Wow, this silly woman can pull it off! If only she had bunny ears, it would be perfect]
[I really want to secretly take a photo...]
[...Post it on social media, let everyone see the unknown side of Ice Queen, haha... that would be interesting...]
"Go find me a coat!"
Shen Manni glared at Xu Mo with reddened ears.
Right now it was just the two of them,
So she dared to wear this.
But if they went outside to the parking lot,
Wouldn't everyone see everything?
"Oh, okay, wait a moment."
Xu Mo withdrew his curious gaze, having gotten quite an eyeful.
In his heart, he thought Xu Shi would look even better in it.
What a waste of this outfit and all this nonsense.
Then he went to have his subordinates bring a beige women's coat.
The subordinates didn't have the fortune to witness Shen Manni in her bunny girl outfit.
After all, she had asked Xu Mo to go get the coat himself.
No one else was allowed within twenty steps of this area.
Shen Manni put on the coat, quickly concealing the bunny girl outfit that could make countless men's blood boil.
"Manni, let's hurry! The police will be here soon."
Xu Mo was still quite concerned about this matter.
Better to slip away early.
Shen Manni stared at him suspiciously and asked a question that left Xu Mo bewildered.
"Xu Mo, are you some kind of perverted sister complex?"
Xu Mo's face stiffened, his expression complicated.
[You stupid woman, are you blind?]
[How could such a question come out of your mouth?]
[Without ten years of brain damage, one couldn't ask such a question]
[Xu Shi and I are worlds apart, she's just one of the female leads]
[We fight every time we meet, and she's my sister, could you please use your brain?]
"Ding, congratulations host, Personal Endurance +3"
Xu Mo showed an awkward but polite smile.
"Manni, I think you're overthinking it. Xu Shi is my sister, you're the one I like!"
Shen Manni rolled her beautiful eyes.
Inside her heart, there was an inexplicable hint of joy.
Just now when Xu Mo had those perverted thoughts,
It made Shen Manni mistakenly think that Xu Mo had different feelings for Xu Shi.
Fortunately, she had overthought it.
"Let's hurry, the police will really be here soon."
Xu Mo said.
Shen Manni extended her fair, slender jade hand toward him.
Give her my hand?
Xu Mo stared at her extended paw like a silly goose!
Shen Manni, both embarrassed and annoyed, said: "Hold my hand!"
Sigh... women are really troublesome.
Xu Mo couldn't help but complain internally.
He took Shen Manni's offered hand.
He assumed it was because she had just experienced a shootout,
Her first time witnessing a murder scene.
Making her scared and weak in the knees.
Unable to walk properly.
Needing someone to help her along.
In any case,
Shen Manni's reaction
Was much better than Tao Xiaoyi's.
At least she hadn't been scared to the point of wetting herself.
As the two left through the back door, Shen Manni's other hand found its way to Xu Mo's waist,
Giving him a hard pinch.
Leaving Xu Mo completely confused about what was going on.
Meanwhile, in a quiet bar elsewhere,
After waiting for over an hour,
Han Zhiqi sent a message to Zhao Hu and his team.
There was no response from the other side.
Han Zhiqi's fine eyebrows curved slightly as she took a sip of her drink, "It's impossible that even Zhao Hu and his team failed?"
During the boring wait,
Han Zhiqi searched online to learn about protagonists in novels.
They were all described as invincible beings, unkillable, blessed by heaven's will.
All sorts of confusing terms she couldn't understand.
After all, she had never read novels before.
But Han Zhiqi firmly believed one thing:
Even if Xu Mo said Lin Fan was this world's protagonist!
Lin Fan was still human!
Humans are made of flesh!
They die from excessive blood loss!
With real guns, plus tracking devices,
Six Qi Gong masters from the Han family, and three handguns,
Surely they could kill one Lin Fan.
"Have you heard? Something happened at Dark Night Bar, Li Dabiao is dead."
"Oh please, I heard about that already, they say it was done by his enemies, died horribly."
"Whatever, I was just at the scene, even heard gunshots!"
"Let me tell you an even bigger piece of news, there was a shooting on Golden Edge Road, my god, six people died! Someone passing by uploaded the video online, quick, go check it out on TikTok before it's taken down!"
The heated discussion from nearby tables reached her ears.
Han Zhiqi's hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly.
Her eyes filled with disbelief.
Then she took out her phone.
Opened TikTok, before she could even enter keywords,
The local recommendations pushed a trending video to her.
The video had been uploaded less than ten minutes ago but already had tens of thousands of likes.
The footage wasn't pixelated.
There was blood on the ground, guns next to the bodies.
The specific outlines weren't clear.
Because the person who uploaded the video had filmed from far away.
They just wanted to get views and traffic, none of them wanted to get involved in this mess.
If they got any closer, they might get taken in for questioning and statements.
After a few seconds of stunned silence, Han Zhiqi smiled meaningfully.
Then she made a phone call.
Ordering someone to handle the bodies at the scene.
And to delete all related videos online.
Prohibit any further spreading.
She scanned the comments, finding them quite interesting.
With one or two people guiding the narrative, ordinary people thought these men were Li Dabiao's underlings seeking revenge.
Then they were all killed by Li Dabiao's enemies.
Lin Fan probably really thinks it was Li Dabiao's men!
And now Han Zhiqi's task was to destroy all evidence.
Leave no witnesses!
The online videos were easy to delete.
The Han family also had a professional legal team.
If anyone else shared videos,
They'd send legal notices, take a few to court.
Then use media channels to spread the news.
Achieving the effect of killing one to warn a hundred.
"I underestimated you before, Lin Fan."
Han Zhiqi drained her Bloody Mary cocktail in one go, her lips curving into a smile that was both bewitching and feminine.
"What Xu Mo said was true, from this moment on, I need to get serious too."
I'm afraid I'll be sealed in bed again, unable to get up, so I'm posting early
Will post another chapter each in the afternoon and evening
Hope you all won't fight among yourselves
