Chapter 481: The Face of a Petty Person Who Has Achieved Their Ambition

~8 min read 1,419 words

The bounty hunter frowned as he looked at the child in front of him, his face full of surprise, but he saw the little boy's gaze land on the cross-shaped scar on his arm.

"People from the Flying Snow Society..."

The bounty hunter was taken aback.

A small child was actually able to recognize the logo of the Flying Snow Society; what kind of background did this child have?

They had investigated before the operation, and Xu Tian had no children, so how could a child appear in his villa?

Could it be the neighbor's?

Regardless, he could not let this child continue to stay here.

If he leaked the news, it would affect their plan.

So, the bounty hunter steeled his heart, picked up the child directly, and stuffed him into the car without a word.

Fortunately, this child did not cry or make a scene, which saved him a lot of trouble.

And just as he was closing the car door, two dark shadows flashed out from behind the two banyan trees in the courtyard.

Just as they were about to come over, the little boy sitting by the car window suddenly gestured to them.

After hesitating for a moment, the two dark shadows ultimately did not come forward, but hid behind the banyan trees again.

"Boss, we found a child, don't know where he came from..." The bounty hunter originally wanted to ask Qi Min for instructions on how to deal with this child, but Qi Min did not notice the situation on his side, and the car sped away from his side.

At the same time, Xu Tian looked in astonishment at the child who had been suddenly stuffed into the car, also looking confused.

Didn't Qi Min and the others accept the employer's mission to kidnap him? Could it be that they accepted two orders at the same time and had another mission?

But generally, high-level bounty hunters disdained to accept such lowly tasks as kidnapping children to extort ransom. With Qi Min's current status, there was no need to kidnap a child.

Could it be that this child was brought by Qi Min and the others?

That wasn't right either; which bounty hunter would bring a child along when executing a mission?

Xu Tian was completely puzzled and subconsciously looked at the little boy who had been stuffed in.

The little boy still had his childishness, but his features were very exquisite. He was wearing a set of dark formal wear, and although there was a suspicion of pretending to be mature, this formal wear did not look out of place on him at all, further highlighting that innate nobility.

Just by looking at him, Xu Tian judged that this child was definitely not from an ordinary family.

Not to mention the child's appearance and the expensive formal wear, just looking at his calm demeanor, he would definitely be a talent who could accomplish great things in the future.

Xu Tian originally thought that he didn't like children, but after seeing the little boy in front of him, he suddenly discovered that it wasn't that he didn't like them, but that the children he had come into contact with before were too mediocre, making him have no interest at all.

But as he looked, Xu Tian suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Why did this child look more and more familiar, as if he had met him somewhere before...

And just as Xu Tian was sizing up the little boy, the little boy was also watching him.

To ease the awkward atmosphere in the car, Xu Tian spoke first.

"Little friend, were you caught by them? Does your family live nearby?"

The little boy had originally been looking at Xu Tian with anticipation, but upon hearing him say this, a flash of disappointment immediately crossed his eyes.

"You don't know who I am?"

Xu Tian was a bit dazed: "We haven't met, have we?"

Could it really be the neighbor's child? No wonder he felt he looked familiar.

Upon hearing this, the little boy lowered his head in a huff, and after a long while, he looked up at Xu Tian again: "You say you haven't met me?"

"Hmm... maybe we have, and I don't remember?" Xu Tian rubbed his chin: "I'm usually quite busy and rarely come home. Do you live near my house?"

The last glimmer of hope in the little boy's eyes dimmed. He pursed his lips, seemingly wanting to speak, but ultimately said nothing.

And at this time, the man in black driving in the front was complaining to his companion with dissatisfaction.

"Are you crazy? Why did you catch a child?"

The bounty hunter who stuffed the little boy into the car said with some grievance: "He was just standing in the courtyard, what could I do? What if he ran out to tip someone off? Control him first to avoid any accidents."

The man in black curled his lips in dissatisfaction after hearing his explanation, but he didn't ask him to put the child back either.

After the car drove out of the villa, it headed towards a remote path.

An hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of a warehouse.

Xu Tian and the little boy beside him were escorted into the warehouse by the bounty hunters, and A Biao and Xia Luo were also handcuffed together.

The inside of the warehouse was dark and damp, and one could faintly smell the scent of blood; it was clearly not a place used purely for storage.

After waiting for a while, Xu Tian discovered that Qi Min hadn't come in, so he asked.

"Where is your boss?"

"How could our boss come to a place like this? She is naturally off to find the employer to collect the commission now."

A bounty hunter answered with disdain.

On the other side, A Biao and Xia Luo turned their heads to stare at Xu Tian, their expressions somewhat complicated.

Their boss was the Shadow Master, how could she be kidnapped so easily?

Before, they had thought that Xu Tian would take action personally and kill these people like Qi Min, but they didn't expect...

Could it be that Xu Tian's identity as the Shadow Master was fake?

If that was the case, wouldn't they have been cheated by following a fake?

Just when they were completely confused, the bounty hunters guarding Xu Tian walked in front of the little boy.

"What should we do with this child?"

Because this child was not in their mission, these people didn't dare to make decisions on their own.

"I'll go make a call."

The bounty hunter who caught the little boy took out his phone and dialed Qi Min's number.

Qi Min had originally told him to let the child go, but Tang Jihuai felt that since this child appeared in Xu Tian's villa, his identity must not be simple, and he firmly disagreed with releasing him.

After another few minutes, a video call came from Qi Min's side.

This was also requested by Tang Jihuai; he wanted to confirm whether Xu Tian had really been caught.

After seeing Xu Tian, Tang Jihuai finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a look of triumph appeared in his eyes.

This pretty boy usually acted so arrogant, but in the end, didn't he still fall into his hands?

This video call also confirmed to Xu Tian that the person who hired Qi Min to kidnap him was Tang Jihuai.

In fact, as early as when the first batch of bounty hunters broke into the villa, Xu Tian had guessed that they might have been hired by Tang Jihuai.

But a bounty hunter of Qi Min's level was clearly not someone Tang Jihuai's status could reach.

Then could it be the person behind Tang Jihuai?

Could the behind-the-scenes force that was never found in his previous life take this opportunity to surface?

Thinking of this, Xu Tian was actually a bit excited.

Being able to find the behind-the-scenes force supporting Tang Jihuai in dealing with the Tang family, he could be considered a blessing in disguise this time.

But the most urgent task right now was to think of a way to escape.

"Mr. Xu, you didn't think that one day, you would see me again, did you?" Tang Jihuai in the video smiled at Xu Tian, perfectly portraying the face of a petty person who had achieved his ambition. ===== CHAPTER 482 =====
