Chapter 518 - Rich overnigh (1/2)

But that was only the secondary concern. Actually, it would not be a big deal even if Xu Zhi managed to find them. However, Ren Xiaosu had used a sniper rifle when they rescued Xu Zhi’s group, so it would be bad if the Zhou Consortium were to link this to Zhou Xilong’s assassination.

The Zhou Consortium was a well-known consortium in the Central Plains. If they wanted to take revenge on someone, it would surely not be trivial.

Even after Zhou Yingxue returned to the black market alone, she still stayed in the hotel every day and rarely left her room. If she had to go out, she would wrap herself up very tightly.

As it was already a month into fall, no one would really get suspicious even if she wore thicker clothes with a silk scarf and sunglasses.

After hiding in the hotel for several days, Zhou Yingxue finally couldn’t stand it any longer. She wrapped herself up in disguise and headed to the bank at the black market to check her account.

She concealed herself so tightly because Ren Xiaosu told her the consortiums would certainly not let go of any vital information they could get and would set up surveillance cameras in hidden places.

After arriving at the bank, Zhou Yingxue was stunned as soon as she went in. She saw two people wrapped up even tighter than her standing in front of the automated teller machine.

When she saw them keying in numbers with a sense of familiarity, she believed they must have been here on more than one occasion. When Zhou Yingxue saw that veterans like these were also guarding against the consortium’s banks, she wondered if Ren Xiaosu could really be right.

Zhou Yingxue keyed in her anonymous account and password at an ATM and noted there was four million yuan in it. Of that amount, one million yuan was received from the previous mission she had accomplished, while another one million yuan was the reward for assassinating Zhou Xilong.

This showed the Anjing House had already recognized the completion of that last mission and that she had gained the opportunity to ask for their protection once.

The remaining two million yuan was paid by Xu Zhi who promised it for saving his life.

When she keyed in Wu Tong’s account and password, Zhou Yingxue’s eyes lit up. There was 5.3 million yuan in Wu Tong’s account!

Frankly, Zhou Yingxue really did not expect Wu Tong to be so rich. But upon thinking about it, Wu Tong was considered a very experienced A-rank hitman. And with the Zhou Consortium’s internal resources readily available for him, he could easily carry out his missions there.

So it was normal he had earned so much money.

After checking Wu Tong’s account, Zhou Yingxue got lost in thought. After all, she now had 9.3 million yuan in her hands. This amount of money could last her for the rest of her life at any stronghold, right?

Then should she continue leading such a dangerous life?

Based on how Ren Xiaosu had reacted, he would not hunt her down to the ends of the earth even if she absconded with the money. In that case, what else did she have to worry about?

Her purpose for deliberately staying in the bathroom of the restaurant for half an hour the previous time was just so she could see how Ren Xiaosu would react about the money. Actually, what she was most worried about was getting hunted down by Ren Xiaosu.

That young man made her feel like he was a massive mountain she could not conquer. In fact, it felt like she could not even muster up any resistance against him. If the two of them really became enemies, Zhou Yingxue would definitely escape rather than think about how to fight back.

“Should I leave or not?” Zhou Yingxue had experienced such a struggle recently. She initially thought that she could accept remaining as a maidservant to that young man, but after seeing such a large sum of money, she still felt tempted by it.

After all, Ren Xiaosu would be getting 80% of the money when he returned.

Zhou Yingxue walked out of the bank while gritting her teeth and muttering to herself, “Why does he have to take such a large share of the money? Seriously, I wouldn’t be caught in such a dilemma if I could just get another 10% more!”

But when Zhou Yingxue was about to leave, she hesitated again, because no one had ever given her any sense of security like Ren Xiaosu had in this chaotic world.
