158 Killing Many Birds With One Stone

The corners of Shi Man’s mouth twitched speechlessly. She raised her hand and picked up the strange pink pistol. She weighed it in her hand and smiled evilly. “The token I gave you is in the storeroom. You should know where it is.”

She was referring to the pistol she had snatched back from Hellgate. It was a hot potato.

The moment Shi Man received the gun, she knew that it had been modified. It was very likely that it had been installed with something that shouldn’t exist on the pistol.

For example, a tracking device.

Her original intention was to throw this thing to Yi Zheng and divert the trouble. However, considering that Su Tang was in the Yi family and that she had not hidden her woman’s identity tonight, Su Tang would probably be targeted by Hellgate if she really placed it in the Yi family without anyone knowing.

Therefore, the best way was to throw it into the only stronghold she knew. Yi Zheng might have calculated that she would do this, so he specially came here to stop her.

After throwing the thing into Yi Zheng’s territory, the first thing the people of Hellgate would think of was that she was related to Blood Devourer and was very likely an internal member of Blood Devourer. At this moment, the leader of the Hellgate was actually secretly glad that he could obtain the help of Blood Devourer and join forces to eliminate Immaculate.

Blood Devourer’s status in G City was like a god. Whether it was the aristocratic families that had been in the underworld all year round or the emerging organizations, everyone knew Blood Devourer’s name in the entire underworld.

Even the mysterious black market was under Blood Devourer. It could be seen that Yi Zheng had already controlled the lifeline of the entire underworld.

Without the black market, who knew how many people would lose their jobs instantly.

Therefore, the people of Hellgate would not want to offend Blood Devourer no matter what. Naturally, they did not dare to make a big deal of the fact that she had injured their boss tonight.

Of course, there was another reason why she chose to throw the pistol here. She wanted to plant a thorn in Yi Zheng’s eyes. Even if the people from Hellgate did not dare to fuss about tonight, they might still join forces to attack Yi Zheng in the future.

This way, she would not be Yi Zheng’s only enemy. Not only could she divert his attention, but she could also passively make him her backer as she went around swindling. Why not?

However, she had never expected Yi Zheng to have calculated to wait for her here and instantly see through her intentions.

His reaction was very intriguing. Not only was he not angry, but he also took out a pistol that he had bought at a high price to ally with her.

Shi Man could not figure out why a large organization like Blood Devourer needed to form an alliance with Immaculate.

Even if Immaculate had risen too quickly, she shouldn’t be able to catch his eye.

Seeing Shi Man staring at him suspiciously, Yi Zheng chuckled. His laughter was so shocking that everyone except Shi Man almost dropped their jaws. “You don’t have to suspect that I have ulterior motives. You helped me remove the heat poison, so of course I can’t mistreat Immaculate. It’s just that these armaments would not be enough. I’ll support you in the future.”

Shi Man put away the pistol skeptically. After saying goodbye coldly, she turned around and ran into the night to rush home.

Tang Zhe sent the others away and walked to Yi Zheng’s side. He asked carefully, “Should we send a few people to follow Miss Shi in case she encounters an accident on the way?”

“No need.” No one knew Shi Man’s strength better than Yi Zheng. He was probably the only person who could make things difficult for her in G City.

When she returned home, Shi Man hid the pistol, changed her clothes, and lay on the bed.

Sean and the others must have found a place to recuperate and secretly threw a note in. Shi Man picked it up and glanced at it casually. After memorizing their hiding place, she tore the note into pieces and threw it into the wastebasket.

Outside the door, Shi He was pacing back and forth in front of his sister’s door for the third time. It was late at night. He thought that his sister should be asleep, but the frustration that surged in his heart made him unable to calm down. He could only walk around her door again and again.

Shi Man packed everything and confirmed that no one would see anything before opening the door expressionlessly. When she saw Shi He, the coldness on her face suddenly softened. “Third Brother, why are you here?”

“Sister! Fortunately, you’re still awake!” Shi He held her hand excitedly and shyly tugged at his dark brown hair. He smiled embarrassedly. “Are you free now? I want to eat your cooking.”

Recalling that it was already eleven o’clock at night, Shi He immediately added, “If you’re tired or don’t want to do it, forget it. I’ll go to bed.”

Shi Man looked up and saw the fatigue on his face. She guessed that he had not eaten her food recently, causing his addiction to Shi Jing’s food to act up. She nodded readily and said, “Alright, I’ll make it for Third Brother now.”

His sister was really too obedient. Shi He felt a warm current in his heart. He hurriedly followed behind her and asked carefully, “Can I make soup for Brother? I want to drink soup.”

In the past, Shi Jing always made soup. Shi He would be addicted every time he had it. Ever since Shi Jing was chased out, he had not drunk soup for a long time. At this moment, his heart was burning.
