Fu Yunshen asked nonchalantly, “Huh?”

This time, the other party responded very quickly.

“There are three of them. They’re all on the hunting list. I’ll send you the information.”

“Don’t die before I even see you.”

Fu Yunshen’s eyelashes fluttered and he chuckled as he said, “Don’t worry, we’ll meet.”

The red words faded, and the screen returned to normal.

There were three folders on the originally empty table. They were named—

Sharpshooter No.4; Killer No.5; Hypnotist No.7.

Fu Yunshen glanced at the folders, but he didn’t open them.

After he closed the computer and stood up, he raised his wrist to look at the time and went out.

Today happened to be the 15th day of the first lunar month, so there were many lanterns on the streets.

Although the sun was very bright at 12:30 PM, it wasn’t blinding and provided just the right amount of warmth.

After Ying Zijin turned her head and looked at the children who were jumping rope not far away, her expression relaxed a little.

She was used to fighting and killing, so this sort of peaceful life felt surreal.

She put her hands in her pockets and leaned against the railing. As she took in the view, she reorganized her memories.

The Jiang family had a charity that specialized in providing scholarships to students in remote areas.

She happened to be one of them and was originally a very inconspicuous one.

A year ago, Jiang Moyuan wanted to bring her to Hucheng in the name of sponsoring her to study at Qingzhi High School.

It was a very sudden decision.

At that time, she wasn’t very willing because her adoptive father, Wen Fengmian, had asthma and was very sick, so he needed someone to take care of him.

However, Wen Fengmian said that he would be like this for the rest of his life, but he hoped that she could go out and have a better future.

However, no one expected such an outcome.

The Ying family brought her back, but in the name of an adoption.

Because Ying Zhenting had suppressed news of the Ying family losing their eldest daughter, he had directly let his adopted daughter replace her original identity, including her name and date of birth.

In the beginning, Zhong Manhua and Ying Zhenting treated her quite well.

Until Ying Luwei was injured for the first time, until she made a fool of herself again and again in upper society.

In addition, there was the comparison with Ying Luwei, the number one socialite, and the eldest daughter of the Ying family. An adopted daughter from a small county couldn’t compare to them at all.

Ying Zijin narrowed her eyes.

The memories in her mind were only one-sided, and she couldn’t see the entire situation.

Unfortunately, with her current divination ability, it wasn’t enough for her to see her complete past and future here.

However, ordinary fortune tellers didn’t divine their own past and future.

Her memories told her that ever since she returned to the Ying family, the Ying family didn’t allow her to have any contact with her previous family.

They were afraid that she would develop some bad habits again, so they forcefully cut off her contact with the Wen family.

Zhong Manhua was afraid that she would run away, so she locked her ID card in the cabinet. She had warned her many times that she was the young lady of the Ying family and that she shouldn’t go to Clear Water County to find those poor people.

As for Wen Fengmian, they had already given him 100,000 yuan, so the Wen family should be satisfied.

The people in a small county had probably never seen so much money in their lifetime.

Although Clear Water County was only 200 kilometers away from Hucheng, as Ying Luwei’s blood bank, she was being watched at all times.

Hence, she hadn’t returned to Qingshui County for an entire year.

This was ungratefulness.

After Ying Zijin took out her identity card from her pocket and looked at it, she felt a headache coming on.

New technology had disadvantages as well. Because of it, she was restricted in everything she did.

However, she had to go back to Qingshui County. Wen Fengmian wasn’t in good health, and he had raised her, so she couldn’t ignore him.

Ying Zijin thought for a moment, then picked up her phone and started searching for the nearest pharmacy on the map.

Thirty minutes later.

]Zhongshan South Road.

As soon as she got out of the taxi, Ying Zijin smelled the fragrance of medicinal herbs. This made her, who was irritated from not sleeping well, calm down a little.

She pressed her head. Perhaps it was because she had died once, but after she revived, her temper had become quite bad.

It seemed that she had to refine some calming medicine.

Ying Zijin entered a bank first.

There were few people in the afternoon, so the service window was basically empty.

The girl was still wearing a simple black shirt that was buttoned all the way up and a khaki coat.

She wore dark black pants, Doc Martens, and had her hair in a half ponytail.

She looked aloof and cold.

Her gorgeous appearance attracted the attention of passersby.

When she drew her number, Ying Zijin turned her head and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the golden irises on the wall. Her gaze froze.

After a while, she slowly remembered that she had drawn this symbol randomly back then.

Unexpectedly, after all these years, the Laurent family had expanded their bank from Continent O to the entire world.

Ying Zijin yawned as she walked to the counter slowly.

Her almond-shaped eyes were misty, like the moonlight, complementing the porcelain skin under her collar. She was so beautiful that she made one’s heart flutter.

The receptionist blushed and quickly looked away. “Hello, Miss.”

“I’d like to withdraw 2,000 yuan.” Ying Zijin handed over the black card and ID card as she said, “Then, I’d like to get a bank card and transfer 1,000,000 yuan into it. Thank you.”

One million yuan was a big number to other banks, but it was nothing unusual in Laurent Bank, so there weren’t that much procedures.

“Alright, please wait a moment.” After the counter lady took it, she quickly started to handle the procedures.

After Ying Zijin thought for a moment, she asked, “How long can I keep saving money here?”

The receptionist froze for a moment before answering, “As long as there’s proof, it doesn’t matter how long it takes.”

Ying Zijin nodded and leaned back in her chair while yawning.

Perhaps her gold would return to her.

Opposite the bank, at the pharmacy.

Lu Fang was lying on the cashier desk while doing his homework. After a long time, he still couldn’t solve the last derivative question, so he threw the book away in frustration.

He got up and prepared to find some snacks to eat. When he looked up, his gaze was captured by the figure behind the glass window.

“Sis, isn’t that her?” Lu Fang said curiously and disdainfully, “She’s just from the county. Why would she go to Laurent Bank? Is she rich?”

Laurent Bank was the only major international bank in the world, and the people who entered were either rich or noble.

Ying Zijin was a member of the Ying family, but she was just an adopted daughter with no status and her grades were at the bottom of their elite class.

“Who is it?” Lu Zhi was busy writing a list. When she heard this, she only glanced at the person aloofly.

With one look, her expression darkened.

Lu Fang added, “Sis, didn’t you say that she gave you a hard time yesterday?”

“Isn’t that so?” Lu Zhi sneered. “She’s not very capable, but her temper is quite bad. Did she really think that I wanted to treat her?”

If Ying Luwei hadn’t come to invite her, she wouldn’t have served an adopted daughter.

Just as Lu Fang was about to comfort Lu Zhi, he saw the girl leave the bank and walk towards them. He couldn’t help but be surprised. “Sis, why is she here? She’s not here to buy medicine, is she?”

Chinese medicine was far less popular than Western medicine nowadays. Their shop was a pure Chinese medicine herb. Usually, only the hospital would buy herbs, and there were very few customers.

“She’s here to buy medicine?” Lu Zhi sneered. “We’re not selling to her.”
