502 Priorities (2/2)
With a closer inspection, she saw what was wrong. The silicone mask around the neck had flipped up. It had probably gotten caught during the run earlier. With that in mind, Ye Shuang smiled. ”A mask?”
Earlier, the man had been shocked by Ye Shuang's series of stunt. When he heard the greeting, he had returned it instinctively. Now he came to and showed alert. He held his neck and took several steps back. ”Who are you?”
”You can stop holding it. I've already seen the skin underneath it.” Ye Shuang was speechless. ”Even if I didn't notice anything earlier, now that you're got your hands there, aren't you making it obvious that you're hiding something?”
The man probably did not understand her, so he clamped his lips.
”A foreigner… looks like Jennifer is looking for you.” Ye Shuang thought about it. ”Oh well, a hidden NPC like yourself can normally trigger an important event. I have nothing to lose if I bring you back with me.”
The foreigner panicked. He did not expect the man to skip over the interrogation and kidnap him without asking why.
”No! You can't…” Before he could halt Ye Shuang, the foreigner just started saying something and then felt a heavy blow on the back of his neck. A karate chop later, Ye Shuang held the unconscious man and expertly lugged the man over her shoulder and rushed toward the safe direction.

The fake Jennifer had gone with a mission. She was there to kill their co-operator who stood in their way. The plan was going well; they had the element of surprise and firepower. Even if the opponent had the geographical advantage, with enough time, things would be brought under control. But to their dismay, just as the battle started, before it even reached the climax, a third party appeared out of nowhere to mess up the plan. They did not side with either party and started ambushing them. They were also experts in jungle warfare.
Therefore, the fake Jennifer told her people to disperse just like that. The people that they had surrounded also took this opportunity to escape. Of course, if that was all, she would not have been so nervous. The mission handed to her by the real Jennifer, surrounding those people, was important, but that was not the most important. It would have been good if she could kill them, but even if she could not, the firefight should exhaust some time, which the real Jennifer could make use of to take away the thing that she needed from the opponent's old lair.
”Now you're telling me the person is not there?” The fake Jennifer accepted the phone handed over her people. She heard two sentences and started to scream. ”How is that possible? Perhaps you have not looked through the place enough?”
”Idiot.” The real Jennifer scoffed down the line. ”Stop wasting time like an idiot. They must have taken the man with them. In any case, I want you to aim carefully. Do not harm that gentleman accidentally.”
”…” Who could she harm‽ The person had already run away!
