When the gunshots rang out, Tang Ren froze, his hand, which had been patting his chest, stopped mid-air, unmoving.
The gunshots rang out again, and people in Chinatown were already screaming and scrambling for cover.
"Well, this is the danger I was telling you about."
Johnny shrugged, not particularly bothered by the gunshots outside the car window. He then quickly started the car and drove away.
"Are they all looking for you?"
Qin Feng asked curiously, because he didn't understand what kind of temptation would make these assassins so persistent in pursuing one person.
"1.5 million US dollars, plus two Assassin Gold Coins."
Johnny directly revealed his bounty. Although the two didn't understand what that meant, just hearing "1.5 million US dollars" was enough to imagine how high the price was.
"Wow! It's 1.5 million US dollars! If the two of us caught you and claimed the reward, wouldn't we get rich?"
Tang Ren opened his mouth, revealing his gold teeth, and said with a laugh, which earned him a roll of the eyes from Qin Feng.
"If you think you can beat him, then I have nothing to say."
Although he didn't know how the assassin world's mechanism worked, Qin Feng could roughly guess that to claim this bounty, one had to be an assassin; ordinary people couldn't claim the money.
Before long, the group escaped from the chaotic Chinatown, and Tang Ren continued to give directions. Johnny followed his directions, taking several turns until they reached another location.
"Why are we back home?"
Qin Feng was a little puzzled, but Tang Ren said as if it were the most natural thing, "Of course, it's to protect A Xiang!"
Qin Feng was a bit speechless. His uncle was good in every way, except for this one thing that was truly unbearable—a complete simp, yet you couldn't say anything to him.
Immediately after, Tang Ren directly opened the door and got out of the car, heading towards the house, pulling out the gold necklace from his pocket as he went, "A Xiang, look what I brought you!"
Qin Feng, sitting in the car, covered his face, "That gold necklace was something he borrowed money to buy!"
Johnny also smiled slightly. This live wire really was something; he didn't know what to say about him.
Soon, A Xiang walked out of the house in a business suit. It had to be said, A Xiang's figure was really great, and with the business suit, she had a unique temperament.
But what Johnny saw was a different scene, because he saw a kind of aura on this woman that only assassins possessed.
Johnny's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze fixed on A Xiang, this woman who resembled Yaya.
When A Xiang walked out with the others, she also saw Johnny sitting in the car. Their eyes met, and A Xiang instantly confirmed Johnny's identity.
At this moment, she wasn't carrying a weapon, but the sudden tension in her right hand and leg muscles was clearly seen by Johnny. This was clearly a defensive stance; it was a pity she didn't have a gun, otherwise she would have drawn it.
"Do you two know each other?"
Qin Feng, sitting in the back, was a little surprised. Although he had also noticed something unusual about A Xiang, such as her movements and demeanor, he didn't know what her relationship with Johnny was.
As for Tang Ren, this carefree fellow's attention was entirely on A Xiang's face; he didn't think about anything else at all.
A Xiang came to the car window, looked at Johnny sitting inside, and leaned against the window, "Isn't this the famous Night Owl? What brings you to my humble abode?"
Their identities had already been mutually exposed the moment they looked at each other, so there was no need to hide anything. Tang Ren, on the other hand, was completely bewildered, not expecting A Xiang to actually know Johnny.
"Oh? I didn't expect you to also be a member of the underground world?"
Johnny was also quite surprised, not expecting this woman to have such an identity.
But A Xiang shook her head, "I both belong and do not belong to the underground world. The only thing I can tell you is that Mr. Song often talks about you."
Hearing this, Johnny confirmed A Xiang's identity.
This woman, who appeared to be Tang Ren's landlady, was actually a broker, just like Mr. Song.
Through his later understanding, Mr. Song actually had a restaurant of his own in every Chinatown, and he was also extremely powerful in intelligence.
He just didn't know if he was a force unto himself, or if he belonged to another faction.
But after meeting A Xiang today, he could confirm one thing: Mr. Song was not alone; he also had a team, and the people in his team engaged in various professions.
After taking another look at A Xiang, Johnny spoke, "In that case, there's something I need your help with. I wonder if you can help solve it?"
"Huh? Huh? Huh??? What are you talking about?"
Tang Ren next to them was completely confused. He never expected—he had originally intended to pick up A Xiang and give her a gold necklace, but he didn't expect her and Johnny to know each other by chance.
For a moment, he even thought Johnny was his love rival.
But looking at the situation, it didn't seem like the two had known each other for a very long time.
Qin Feng, sitting in the back, was quickly analyzing. He had already guessed part of the answer, but he wasn't very sure.
"What are you two talking about? I don't understand a single word!"
Tang Ren scratched his ears and cheeks in frustration, but the two had no intention of explaining to him.
A Xiang glanced at the bag in the passenger seat, then said, "My fees are quite high."
Johnny reached into his chest, then pulled out an Assassin Gold Coin, flicking it with his thumb. The coin made a crisp 'ding' sound, then bounced towards A Xiang.
A Xiang was about to reach out to catch it, but a hand was faster than hers, grabbing the gold coin.
"Wow! It's actually gold!"
The person who snatched the gold coin was Tang Ren. Looking at the coin in his hand, he couldn't help but bite it directly. It was soft and hard—it was genuine!
"Tang Ren, what are you doing!"
Seeing Tang Ren's action, A Xiang looked a little disgusted, then snatched the gold coin back. At this moment, Qin Feng also got out of the car, and he also clearly saw what the gold coin in Tang Ren's hand looked like.
It was a gold coin, crafted from gold, with a sun engraved as the background, and a lion beneath the sun. Was this the gold coin of the assassin world?
Qin Feng did not speak. After watching A Xiang take the gold coin, she glanced at it and put it away. "What do you want to know?"
Johnny blurted out, "I need to know the location of a CIA director named Gina in Thailand!"
After hearing Johnny's words, A Xiang flicked the gold coin back, "Official matters are difficult to handle, and it's very complicated inside. I advise you not to inquire."
Although A Xiang didn't know why the other party wanted information about her, it certainly wasn't for anything good.
"Don't worry, this matter won't involve you. What I want to know is that guy will completely disappear from this world!"
As he spoke, Johnny flicked the gold coin back again, landing in A Xiang's hand.
A Xiang pondered for a moment, then pulled out a phone, made a call, and then walked to the side, saying something unknown, then she walked back.
"She is currently staying at the Princeton Hotel in Bangkok, but she left the hotel 10 minutes ago."
Such accurate information came to Johnny so easily, and the efficiency was so high that even Johnny was astonished.
Tang Ren and Qin Feng stared blankly at A Xiang. At this moment, the A Xiang they knew from before was completely different, as if she had become a different person.
"Is this still the A Xiang I used to peek at while she was bathing?"
Tang Ren was a little disoriented, but the next second, he laughed again, "But this A Xiang seems even cooler, I like her even more!"
Qin Feng covered his face and shook his head. This person was beyond saving!
