“My old friend, do you still remember the Dark Night Murder Case that shocked the Hong Kong district three years ago?” Andrew’s mouth suddenly curved into a wide smile, much like an artist extremely proud of his work.
It seemed like he was reminding Director Yan of his own masterpiece.
Director Yan’s expression grew even darker. How could he possibly forget the Dark Night Murder Case?
The instigator of that incident was none other than the old friend sitting right in front of him.
At the time, Andrew had wanted to cooperate with the Li family, but due to a minor disagreement over profits, he directly sent an A-rank assassin to intimidate them.
The Li family had a grandmaster-level expert at that time.
Furthermore, the head of the Li family was not Li Zhihua back then.
However, even with that grandmaster’s protection, the Li family head not only died, but the grandmaster perished as well.
A single fatal shot, leaving them no time to even react.
One could only imagine how terrifying that A-rank assassin truly was.
It ultimately forced the Li family into cooperation with him.
“My man can kill your so-called grandmasters. Taking out an ordinary person is as simple as stepping out for a cup of coffee,” Andrew sneered.
“However, the fee for such an assassin naturally cannot be compared to that of your average amateur hitmen.”
“But Mr Andrew, precisely because the target is just an ordinary person, this feels like using a cannon to swat a mosquito.”
“Ah, there is a saying in your Huaxia culture. Even when a lion hunts a rabbit, it must give its all. Although he is just an ordinary person, we must still treat the matter with caution,” Andrew smiled.
“So? Have you made up your mind, my old friend?”
“I would hate for you to become the next Li family.” Andrew suddenly sneered, causing Director Yan’s face to instantly pale. It was a clear threat.
“Very well, then I shall leave it to you, Mr Andrew.” Director Yan nodded and immediately ordered someone to prepare the money.
“Peter, show him our goods.” Andrew smiled, looking towards a black man who had been standing silently behind him, wearing dark sunglasses and maintaining a stern expression.
The black man named Peter directly drew a silver pistol and tossed it onto the table.
“This gun is quite special. The bullets it fires can pierce through ten centimetres of steel plate. The ammunition is also unique, made from an alloy harder than diamond. Each bullet is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. I am not making a profit on this,” Andrew smiled.
Both the gun and the bullets were exceptional, and the assassin named Peter was no less remarkable.
Otherwise, he would not have earned the title of an A-rank assassin capable of hunting down grandmasters.
“Invite him over. We can humiliate him before killing him. Since he is just an ordinary person, we can play with him until he dies. Cheer up, my old friend, you will thoroughly enjoy the process,” Andrew licked the face of a woman beside him.
Director Yan pondered for a moment and agreed. After spending so much money to buy Luo Chen’s life, he certainly could not let Luo Chen die so easily.
At that moment, Luo Chen was visiting the film set, watching Lan Beier perform live.
Coincidentally, another crew was filming nearby, apparently starring a top male and female celebrity.
Luo Chen watched as Lan Beier went from chatting and laughing one second to shedding tears instantly the next, leaving him quietly impressed.
Just then, a sudden scream pierced the air.
Luo Chen turned his head and immediately spotted someone falling from the rooftop.
“Are all your film shoots this realistic?” Luo Chen frowned.
It was an eighty-storey building. At that moment, a man was dangling halfway down, gripping a woman’s hand, while the man himself could only hold onto a horizontal steel pipe with one hand.
“They should be suspended by safety wires,” Lan Beier remarked.
“There are none,” Luo Chen said, somewhat surprised. Others could not see it, but he clearly could.
Or rather, the safety wire had already snapped.
Films often feature a scene where the male lead hangs off a cliff or a tall building, holding the female lead by one hand, and pulls her up.
In reality, that is utterly impossible. An average person could never pull themselves up with one hand, let alone while carrying someone else.
Many people cannot even do a single pull-up, much less haul another person.
Then they fell, both plummeting at the same time.
“Is it really that realistic?”
“No, this is a real accident,” many people shouted at once.
The filming scene for that crew was taking place directly above them.
“Clear out, quickly! You will get crushed to death!” the director yelled, and a crowd instantly scattered in panic.
Only Luo Chen remained standing there.
Lan Beier anxiously tried to rush over and pull him away, but her colleagues held her back.
“Run!” someone shouted at Luo Chen.
From such a height, anyone struck would certainly be killed.
Yet in the next moment, to everyone’s astonishment, Luo Chen actually reached out his hands to catch them.
“He is mad, he has gone completely mad.”
“He will be crushed to death!” someone cried out in panic.
How could anyone dare to catch people falling from such a height?
What a ridiculous joke.
There had been several news reports of children falling from five or six storeys, where bystanders tried to catch them and ended up with both arms shattered, leaving them permanently disabled.
Two adults falling from eighty storeys, and he still dared to catch them?
While still in mid-air, Li Tian and Zhou Yun fell into despair and simply closed their eyes.
The onlookers watching Luo Chen reach out were also pale with fear.
Many even turned their heads and shut their eyes, unable to bear watching what would happen next.
They were certain he would be reduced to a bloody mess.
However, in the next moment, amidst the crowd’s screams, Luo Chen caught both individuals with one hand each, absorbing the impact by spinning around several times to dissipate the force.
Li Tian and Zhou Yun were still frozen in terror, unable to process what had happened, while everyone around them stared blankly at Luo Chen.
Was this real?
Was he truly human?
The impact from such a great height must have been enormous.
Yet Luo Chen caught them as if it were completely stable, without suffering a single scratch.
This completely defies science.
Ambulances arrived shortly afterwards, and many shifted their attention to the two survivors, who clearly held significant status.
At that moment, Xu Shuiyao ran over.
“Mr Luo, Director Yan would like to invite you to dinner to apologise,” Xu Shuiyao said.
Director Yan had called her specifically to ensure she passed on the message.
“Very well,” Luo Chen nodded. With his experience, how could he not know there was definitely something fishy about this?
“Mr Luo, perhaps you should not go? That Director Yan is not exactly a good person,” Xu Shuiyao warned.
“It does not matter. A swarm of ants cannot cause a tidal wave. Not everyone is qualified to set a Hongmen banquet,” Luo Chen waved his hand and sneered.
