Chapter 1 How Long Have You Been Doing This (2/2)

”No, you didn't.” She should be the surprise that James Shi had been telling him about.

John Shi had been used to this kind of thing. The women James Shi had sent before had been thrown out. In fact, John'd been so used to them that he didn't even bother to look at them.

Seeing as the woman in front of him was around twenty-year-old, around the age of James, he knew that he had to be kind for the time being.

”How long have you been doing this?” John said as if he was scolding his nephew James.

With a puzzled look on her face, Nina frowned. ”It's my first time,” she said honestly.

In the past, she usually only handled cases that were being discussed in the teachers' lounge. This was her first time being out in the field to investigate.

It was said that there had been two suicide cases that were about to be closed in the precinct. However, she had always felt that it wasn't just a simple suicide. In fact, she came here to connect the two events. A part of her had a feeling that the two victims were connected, and she wanted to find out more clues that could link them together.

In the past week, Nina had been wandering around nearby hotels, hoping to find some clues to prove her point.

”Your first time? So all you have is theory?” John sat down.

He then picked up a glass of wine and decided to take a sip.

Nina glanced at him by accident, and she found that she just couldn't take her eyes off him. ”I've learned the theory for two years.”

”Oh? Really?” John sneered, as if he had just heard a joke.

'Do they actually teach theory for these kinds of profession? What's their finals? To find a man to practice it on?'

”Don't look down on me,” she snapped. Nina was about to turn and leave when she heard his voice.

”What makes you think you're even worthy of respect? How much did they give you?” He lit up a cigarette and puffed out a cloud of smoke. He couldn't really find a reason for women to participate in such an industry with no money involved.

John crossed his arms over his chest.

”None,” she said coldly.

None?

She was the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on.

In fact, in this circle, the woman could be worth tens of thousands of dollars.

Seeing that she was about to leave, John frowned. ”Did I say that you can go?”

With a flick of his cigar, a small ball of fire lit up even more. No one could come and go freely under his roof.

Nina stopped as her heart thumped in anger. ”Look, our profession can't be measured by money. You should know how dangerous this is, especially with this case. In such an enclosed space, someone could die if I'm not doing my job right. I should go now.”

Someone could die?

He glanced down subconsciously. Was he really that terrible?

Nina's eyes widened, as if realizing the meaning of his responses.

The man must've mistaken her for...

Her cheeks flushed.

”You! Shameless!” she said in outrage as she pointed at the man.

John was expressionless. How could she call him shameless when he was just her employer for the night?
