In the end, Tong Kexin had no choice, but she clenched her teeth as she grabbed out 5,000 yuan from her bag and threw it at Lu Zijia.
“Here you are, stingy!”
Tong Kexin pretended to be capricious so that she could leave an impression upon others that she was just unhappy to give back the money in public, rather than hold back the debt.
After Tong Kexin and Che Zhibin left, Jin Junyi turned to Lu Zijia.
“Are you alright?”
Lu Zijia put the deck of money into her bag, raised her eyebrows, and smiled. “What do you think?”
Jin Junyi got slightly startled as he spotted this slightly sinister-looking Lu Zijia, who seemed full of confidence.
As he realized what he had done, he instantly moved away his eyes in embarrassment.
“Good that you are doing well.”
“Okay, should I follow you for the mission?”
Actually, Lu Zijia was aware he would not mind her following him, and Tong Kexin might even like her stupid offer.
Since Jin Junyi and two others received the mission, when the mission was completed, the bonuses would only be divided into the three of them.
So if she followed him to the mission, Tong Kexin might get an opportunity to take revenge on her and humiliate her.
Jin Junyi seemed to have thought of this problem too. He furrowed his eyebrows slightly. He did not seem to approve of her request.
He asked her, “Are you sure about that? You just offended Fellow Tong. She might take this opportunity to do something to you.”
Jin Junyi was a man with integrity, but that did not necessarily mean that he could not tell what Tong Kexin and Che Zhibin were really like. He knew clearly what these two people were up to.
However, if Lu Zijia insisted on following them to the mission, he would not stop her either. After all, everyone made their choices and he simply could not prevent them from doing what they wanted.
The only thing he could do was to give Lu Zijia a reminder.
“I know,” Lu Zijia sounded indifferent, as she expressed her awareness.
Jin Junyi did not make any more comments, seeing the scene, so he went into the car with her.
Seeing Lu Zijia getting into the car, Tong Kexin got annoyed at the beginning, but soon she smiled. Her smile looked dark and lethal.
An hour later, they drove into a luxurious community and pulled over in front of a villa.
The villa was commonly embellished, yet it looked sweet on the surface. Many colorful plants and flowers were growing outside in the garden.
However, most of those flowers and plants had withered. Apparently, no one had been here keeping them clean.
Before she got out of the car, Lu Zijia could sense the dark energy emerging from inside the villa.
The dark energy inside the villa was not strong. However, commoners would have health problems staying inside for too long, and they would even lose their life because of bad health.
“This dark energy is so strong! It must be given off by a demon,” Tong Kexin made a brief observation around the villa and said seriously.
Che Zhibin, who kept sucking up to Tong Kexin, nodded constantly in agreement.
Jin Junyi made an observation of the villa and looked quite serious.
“There is more than one inside.”
Hearing his words, Tong Kexin and Che Zhibin had a change of face. They were just about to say something when something moved in the villa.
The owner of the villa came out when she heard the noise.
It was a girl around 15 years old. Seeing the strange gang, she became slightly alert.
“Who are you, please?”
Che Zhibin stepped out first and said arrogantly, “We are staff from the Special Administration Office of the Capital. It is your father who asked for our help.”
Hearing those words, the girl’s eyes widened. She opened the door and guided them in.
“Please, masters! My father has been waiting for you for a long while. Any more delay and my parents might….”
