Chapter 553: 493 The mentality collapsed, the two big shots have clashed [2 more, lottery] Chapter 553: 493 The mentality collapsed, the two big shots have clashed [2 more, lottery] Hearing these four nonsensical words, An Roujin was startled, and the frustration in her heart deepened.

Mockery filled her eyes, but still her lips curved into a gentle, water-like smile, “Feng Mian, are you distressed? What’s after that? I–”
An Roujin couldn’t finish her sentence as everything went dark before her eyes instantly.

Almost all the air was snatched away, making it difficult even to breathe.

An Roujin’s mind buzzed, completely unaware of what was happening.

She did hear Wen Fengmian’s voice again, still sounding very calm, “Turn around, be mentally prepared, it won’t be too suffocating.”

Yun Wu didn’t give An Roujin time to react. A hand-chop aimed at her neck brought her down, knocking her out.

After doing all this, he turned and bowed with folded fists, “Miss Ying.”

“Find a basement, lock her up, and put some cockroaches and mice in there.” Ying Zijin pondered for a moment, and said faintly, “Also, find a couple of people to act as ghosts.”

“If she is still alive after five days, notify the Lin family.”

A twitch tugged at the corner of Yun Wu’s mouth.

Cruel as she is, Miss Ying is even harsher.

This wicked woman An Roujin, if not scared to death, would surely go mad.

Even if An Roujin had a strong mental tolerance, they would find professionals to induce a personality disorder in her.

Yun Wu walked away with the sack over his shoulder, at ease.

The gatekeeper of the villa community saw him and even asked what it was.

Yun Wu casually replied, “Trash is a bit much,” and with his other hand took out his phone and sent two texts to Yun Shan.

[Second brother, the person you caught is a member of the Ji family, while I caught the Matriarch of the Lin Family. It’s obvious that the one I caught is more valuable, and it was Miss Ying who personally led me to capture her.]
[Second brother, you don’t get this treatment, are you mad^_^]
Yun Shan was driven mad upon receiving the texts.

This is downright deceitful behind one’s back, without showing it on the face.

Yun Shan was furious and went to complain to Fu Yunshen, “Young Master, look.”

Fu Yunshen didn’t look up, “Play by yourself.”

Yun Shan: “…”

His composure was utterly shattered.

**
The disappearance of An Roujin was quickly discovered by two guards.

But after searching in the malls where An Roujin frequently visited for a long time, they found nothing and had no choice but to return to the Ancient Martial World to report.

Even someone as good-tempered as Lin Qingjia furrowed his brows and said somberly, “Mother has no Inner Strength; how could you be so negligent in your duties?”

The two guards were at a loss for words, “This…”
“Go and accept your punishment.” Lin Jinyun was also angry, “Organize a Guard Squad and come with me to search outside.”

An Roujin’s appearance was distinctive; she must have met with some misfortune.

Lin Qingjia started to speak, “Father, I also–”
“It’s getting late, and you haven’t gathered your herbs yet,” Lin Jinyun stopped him with a wave of his hand, “Don’t worry, I will bring her back safely.”

Lin Qingjia pursed his lips, “Alright.”

Some herbs are only available in the Ancient Medical Field; she needed to collect them before heading to O Continent.

The middle-aged man also had his mercenaries help Lin Qingjia search.

Lin Qingjia smiled and said, “The physical quality of the mercenaries from the Taylor Family is really impressive, almost on par with an ancient martial artist of twenty years’ cultivation.”

“Of course,” the middle-aged man nodded, “Do you know about Norton University? That’s where these mercenaries were trained by one of their instructors.”

Lin Qingjia thought for a moment, “I’ve heard a little, it’s the number one university in the world.”

“That’s not all; it’s a title given by ordinary people.” The middle-aged man explained, “Besides that, there are real world-class geniuses inside, especially from the Astrology System, Alchemy Department, and Mechanical Department. The Taylor Family has even hired a few Fortune Tellers from the Astrology System graduates.”

Lin Qingjia was slightly taken aback, “There’s also Astrology and Alchemy?”

A university actually had such courses?

“Yes.” the middle-aged man said, “If Miss Lin is interested, you can exchange ideas with them once you’re in O Continent.”

After speaking, he sighed again, “It’s a pity that the geniuses from the Mechanical Department have stayed in school, and even we can’t hire them.”

Lin Qingjia nodded in agreement, now more interested in Norton University.

She finished gathering one herb and then went on to find the next.

Two days later, Ying Zijin helped Wen Feng Mian with a few research projects before setting off for O Continent.

The headquarters of Universal Film Company was in the S country, conveniently close to the Bevin Family’s territory.

The film starring Xie Manyu had started shooting at the end of February, but with Universal Film Company’s pursuit of perfection, they had only completed two-thirds of it so far.

Fans around the world were all anxious for it, and as the Executive Director of Chuguang Media, Ying Zijin got to see some of the footage in advance.

“You go ahead.” Fu Yunshen tidied her hair for her, “I’ll be there in a few days.”

The two of them were watched by many and were regulars on the trending searches.

Nowadays, paparazzi are very savvy; a single slip-up can lead to a trending scandal.

“Okay.” Ying Zijin nodded slightly, “Actually, it’s not a big deal; you don’t need to come.”

“I’m going there for work as well, see you in S country.” Fu Yunshen patted her head and smiled lazily, “Kid, I’ve prepared a gift for you, it helps with sleep.”

Even though the female secretary had become a member of the Divine Medicine Couple fandom, she was conscientious and wouldn’t disclose these matters.

To witness the real thing and see others struggling to photoshop, what joy.

Besides the female secretary, Ying Zijin also took two directors with her to inspect projects in the S country.

Universal Film Company naturally arranged the most upscale hotel for them.

The female secretary was itchy with curiosity the whole way, especially eager to find out what gift Fu Yunshen had given to Ying Zijin.

It wasn’t until they entered the presidential suite that she tentatively spoke up, “Boss, can I take a look? I can pay with my salary!”

The box was so big, almost two meters long, but it wasn’t heavy. What could be inside?

Ying Zijin thought about the first few boxes of children’s books Fu Yunshen had sent her and figured he wouldn’t send anything too inappropriate.

She squatted down, unwrapping the package while replying, “No need, go ahead and look.”

The female secretary’s eyes sparkled.

After Ying Zijin finished unwrapping, she looked at the gift inside the box and fell silent.

A very large body pillow with a pleasing texture.

It was the same height as Fu Yunshen.

The facial features were also meticulously crafted, hardly any different from a real person. It was unclear where it had been custom-made.

Ying Zijin recalled the phrase about aiding sleep: “…”

She pinched the head of the body pillow, expressionless.

The female secretary was very observant and immediately rolled out of the room to the next one.

She took out her phone, trembling as she posted a Weibo in the Divine Medicine Couple’s super-topic.

[Sisters, I think if they get together in the future, President Fu won’t be able to beat God Ying.]
It wasn’t long before many people commented.

[Do you even need to say it? Definitely, God Ying originally beat up several big men single-handedly, didn’t she?]
[A moment of silence for President Fu in advance.]

Presidential Suite.

In the end, Ying Zijin still placed the life-sized body pillow of Fu Yunshen on the bed.

She sat at the desk, receiving a call from Rita.

“My beauty, you need eighteen kinds of herbs, and I’ve found fifteen of them so far.”

Ying Zijin raised an eyebrow, “You’re quite fast.”

True to the reputation of the Bevin Family, one of The Four Great Financial Groups, she had found so many rare ingredients in just three days.

She was indeed quite poor.

“I’ve also found the most important Essence of Fire Source,” Rita frowned. “It’s in the hands of a team of mercenaries from the Underworld, but they have a condition.”

Ying Zijin’s gaze lowered, “What condition?”

The Underworld in O Continent was actually akin to the black market in Hua Country, but even more chaotic, and a habitat for many hunters.

The term Underworld had existed for several centuries; she had even fought in ring fights during her poorest times.

“They’re aware that you’re the Number One Poison Master, with great abilities, and said that as long as you kill the second on the Bounty List, they will give you the Essence of Fire Source and an additional ten billion US Dollars.”

After speaking, Rita couldn’t help but complain, “The problem is, I can’t even find the whereabouts of the second on the Bounty List. How can you kill them?”

“The second on the Bounty List?” Ying Zijin opened her phone and logged into the NOK forum, “Let me check.”

[Bounty List (unit: US dollars)]
No.1: The Diviner, bounty too high to display
No.2: Devil, 2,000,000,000]
Ying Zijin clicked on Devil’s profile.

Top assassin, codename: Devil.

Below was a list of his impressive track record.

January 2016, Devil successfully killed the then second on the Bounty List, ascending to first on the assassin rankings.

That same year, he also killed three notoriously dangerous transnational criminals.

February 2017, Devil took down a highly skilled elder of the Pazzi Family, escaped unscathed and with no one able to track him.

…

A total of fifty-nine missions, the last being at the end of 2019.

From 2020 until now, Devil had not appeared again.

O Continent went crazy looking for him, and the bounty price kept climbing.

Ying Zijin then glanced at her own bank account balance, pondering.

Ah, there’s quite a lot of money. To take or not to take the job?

“I told them you had a bad temper and warned them not to push their luck,” Rita continued. “However, the Essence of Fire Source is hard to come by; there’s probably only that one piece in all of O Continent.”

In both ancient and modern times, across the world, fire has always signified the supremacy over evil.

Therefore, the Essence of Fire Source is an essential ingredient to remove the toxins from the body of the Head of Bevin Family.

Ying Zijin tapped her fingers on the table, “Do they have Devil’s location?”

“We’re getting some leads, still checking.”

“Then let’s talk when they find it.”

“Okay, I will inform you if there’s news. My father has already taken the medicine you sent, and the situation is stable for now.”

Ying Zijin ended the call, went to the bathroom to shower, and changed clothes before coming out.

She hesitated at the foot of the bed, then opened the door and went out.

“Boss, something’s happened,” the female secretary was outside, on the phone. When she saw Ying Zijin, she began to choke up before she could say anything, “Best Actress Xie, she–she…”

Ying Zijin’s eyes went cold and without asking for the address, she simply said, “Let’s go.”
