Chapter 482: Must Ask Our Boss for Instructions

~7 min read 1,264 words

"Sixth Grand-Uncle." Xu Tian paused, then realized suddenly: "I almost forgot, I can't call you that now, I have to call you Mr. Tang."

"You..." Tang Jihuai was about to flare up, but suddenly realized something and barely suppressed his anger: "Still being sharp-tongued when you're about to die!"

"If you only wanted to kill me, you wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to lock me up." Xu Tian's tone remained calm: "By the way, to catch me, I think you must have spent a lot of effort."

"This is the what-th batch of bounty hunters you've hired? Once? Twice? Or three times?"

The previous third-level bounty hunters were the second time, and those men in black who intercepted him in the suburbs a few months ago were his first ambush; if it hadn't been for that mysterious woman in a qipao, he would probably be dead already.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Tang Jihuai said in surprise: "I only sent two batches of people, don't you go counting every debt on my head!"

After a pause, Tang Jihuai added with schadenfreude: "It seems you have many enemies, kid; I'm not the only one who wants your life."

Xu Tian's expression was very calm after hearing Tang Jihuai's words.

The reason he asked this was just to see Tang Jihuai's reaction.

In fact, he also felt that those people from the first time didn't look like Tang Jihuai's handiwork.

Because the strength gap between the people Tang Jihuai found the second time and the first time was too large.

Besides Tang Jihuai, the only other person who wanted him dead was probably Gu Beicheng.

No, the Xu father and son couldn't be ruled out either, but their possibility...

"Mr. Tang, how should we deal with the child we brought back?" A bounty hunter asked for instructions.

"That child? Kill him." Tang Jihuai did not hesitate, as if a child to him was not a life, but an item that could be disposed of at will.

The bounty hunter was stunned, clearly not expecting Tang Jihuai to be so ruthless.

In fact, they had already caught Xu Tian now; even if they let the little boy go, it would be of no use if he tipped someone off, it wouldn't have any effect.

But Tang Jihuai firmly told them to kill the child.

Although these bounty hunters usually lived a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife, among the missions they accepted, they had never targeted a child before.

Tang Qingwu, who was originally standing beside Tang Jihuai, also leaned in front of the phone. He saw the little boy through the video, and then revealed a look of disdain.

"If he leaks the news, you won't get the remaining commission. It's just a child; weigh the importance yourselves."

The bounty hunters were originally still a bit hesitant, but after hearing Tang Qingwu's words, they could only follow their request and deal with the little boy.

After all, they were bounty hunters, taking on various dangerous missions just to make money. Since the employer requested it, all the sins would naturally be counted on the employer's head; they were just taking money to do the job.

After comforting himself, one of the bounty hunters took out a short knife from his bosom and walked towards the little boy.

"He's just a child, he doesn't know anything, he won't tip anyone off!" Xu Tian wanted to rush over to stop the bounty hunter, but his shoulders were firmly held by the two people behind him. His hands were tied behind his back, and being escorted by others, he couldn't exert any strength at all. "And I don't even know this child; if you let him go, it won't have any impact!"

Only through the bounty hunters' conversation just now did he know that this child was not their original target, but happened to appear in the courtyard of his villa, which was why they grabbed him along the way.

But no matter how Xu Tian struggled, it was of no use. The bounty hunter with the short knife had already picked up the little boy.

There was not a trace of fear on the little boy's face, nor did he wail and cry like an ordinary child. He turned his head coldly to look at the phone set up on the side, stared at Tang Qingwu on the other end through the video call, and said coldly: "You are courting death."

Tang Qingwu raised his eyebrows in surprise, clearly not expecting the little boy to have this reaction.

"Say that again?"

"Since I was born, there have indeed been many people who have had designs on me, but you are the first one who has truly dared to say you want to kill me and actually put it into action." The little boy's pronunciation was clear and round; perhaps because the atmosphere was too tense at this moment, even the slight milky tone before the voice change couldn't be heard.

The warehouse fell into a sudden silence.

Everyone stared at the little boy with the look of watching an unlucky brat, including A Biao and Xia Luo.

Had this child listened to too many brain-dead stories and thought he was the protagonist?

"Hehe..." Tang Qingwu sneered, not taking the little boy's words to heart at all.

Although he had never encountered such an unusual child before, it was just a child, not enough to make him waste time.

"Clean it up, don't let anyone find evidence."

"Yes." Under Tang Qingwu's order, the bounty hunter holding the short knife was about to take action, but saw the little boy say unhurriedly.

"I am a member of the Yun family."

The Yun family?

The others didn't understand this abrupt sentence, but Xu Tian was slightly startled.

"What's so great about the Yun family?" The bounty hunter holding the knife sneered, "We have no choice, this is the employer's order; even if you have the surname Yun, it won't save you!"

"He's just a child, he's no threat to you at all, do you have to kill him?" A Biao roared angrily, "Aren't you afraid of retribution for doing such beastly things?"

Bounty hunter:...

He didn't want to take action against a child either, but the employer requested it, what could he do?

Just then, another bounty hunter on the side spoke up.

"Mr. Tang, this is different from our original mission, I must ask our boss for instructions."

"Did you not understand my words?" Tang Qingwu's eyes turned cold, "Don't forget I am your employer!"

"But the contract didn't require us to kill this child." That bounty hunter insisted, "I want to ask our boss, Qi Min, for instructions."

"Your boss went to the restroom, she's not here now!" Tang Qingwu said with an unkind tone.

"Then let's wait a while." The bounty hunter didn't dare to make decisions on his own.

After waiting for a while, they found that Qi Min still hadn't returned, so they took out another phone and called her.

But Qi Min's phone showed that it was currently in a call.

Several bounty hunters looked at each other.

Didn't their boss go to the restroom? Why couldn't they get through to her phone?

Seeing them doing nothing, Tang Qingwu said impatiently to Tang Jihuai beside him: "Dad, the contract didn't require dealing with this child. Since they have already completed the mission, if it really doesn't work, let's clean up the mess ourselves." ===== CHAPTER 483 =====
