215 STILL A GEEK (2/2)

”There has been a lot of movement by various organisations in Supreme City.” He said.

Hu Lei turned back to the sauce. ”They are coming after me.” Her tone was matter-of-fact.

”My people have been able to intercept some of the mercenaries who have taken up the assignments. I have been monitoring the online forums for more information. All I have been able to find out is that the assignment is to capture you alive. I can only identify the threats after a mercenary accepts the request officially.” He paused a bit.

”The problem is the rogue mercenaries who do not follow the industry rules. Someone might attempt to capture you and leverage you against the group which posted the request. Moreover, that organisation probably has other plans in place to recapture you.”

Hu Lei remained silent as she looked at the red sauce.

”I am attempting to follow the little crumbs on the dark web to find the mastermind, but they are careful. The setup of that organisation seems complicated, so they have a lot of protection. For now, I can only settle for weakening the connected corporations by taking away their financial power until they have no protection left.” He added with an irritated frown.

Hu Lei turned and smiled. ”Sometimes I forget that you used to be a big geek.”

Zhong Feng could see that it was an attempt to change the subject. ”I am still a geek.”

”I can't really see it. Mmmh, maybe if you had glasses.” She teased.

The man appeared behind her without warning and grabbed her waist. She squealed.

”If I am a nerd, then what are you?” He asked, bending to bite her ear gently.

Hu Lei giggled. ”I am, of course, the bad girl who forces you to do her homework.”

The two people continued building their crazy scenario until the little bad girl was pressed down by the nerd who was actually a big bad wolf.
