"What is it? Tell me! As long as the Quan Family can do it, I will do my best!" Quan Caiwei was the first to speak, making a promise on behalf of the Quan Family.
Xia Chujian glanced at Yun Nvluo.
Clearly, the person in charge here was Yun Nvluo, not Quan Yugui, and certainly not Quan Caiwei.
Yun Nvluo nodded slightly.
Only then did Xia Chujian lower her eyes and say, "... Could you not tell anyone that I killed Fan Chengcai?"
"... Why?" Yun Nvluo asked, her eyes narrowed, sensitive to the question.
Xia Chujian said, "The Fan Family is, after all, a Noble family. I'm just an ordinary person, not even a Gene Evolver. Although I'm a member of the Dark Night Hunter Association, I'm at the very bottom of the Association. It's enough for you to know about this. I don't want to be in the limelight."
She looked sincere, with a hint of fear, just like a small figure from the bottom of society with some ability, afraid of the self-preservation mentality of "a tree that stands out from the forest will be destroyed by the wind."
Quan Yugui and Quan Caiwei were immediately infected by her expression.
Quan Caiwei nodded sympathetically, "Chujian, I understand your desire not to take credit. Indeed, it's not necessary to have the Fan Family hate you for such a big thing."
She turned her head to look at Yun Nvluo, pleading, "Secretary Yun, just agree to her request. Anyway, we don't plan to release this video. The only people who know the truth are us. As long as we don't say anything, who would know?"
Yun Nvluo pondered, "It's not impossible, but we have to come up with another explanation..."
As she spoke, she looked at Quan Yugui, "How about this, it was you who broke into the villa at night, killed Fan Chengcai, and saved Caiwei. What do you think?"
Quan Yugui: "..."
He thought, with his terrible Gunmanship, how could he possibly kill someone with one shot from such a distance? He smiled and said, "Secretary Yun, why not say it was the Dark Guard Elite beside me? This way, it's both real and fake, and it will also make those who want to attack me weigh their options."
Yun Nvluo nodded appreciatively, "... You've improved. You didn't jump into this pit. Okay, let's go with your suggestion. We'll keep the Dark Night Hunter Association's contribution to ourselves. We'll tell everyone that it was the Dark Guard Elite beside our Quan Er Shao who made the contribution."
The *Dark Guard*, they don't even need to announce their names. It's truly a perfect substitute.
Xia Chujian breathed a sigh of relief, the corners of her lips slightly curved, a fleeting satisfied smile.
She took a step back and said, "Thank you for your understanding. Our mission ends at six o'clock this morning. I won't disturb your enjoyment."
Quan Caiwei was reluctant to let Xia Chujian leave and quickly said, "Can I sign another contract with you? I'll give you two million Beichen Coins a day until I leave Guiyuan Star."
She only trusted Xia Chujian now. This sense of security was something that no high-level Gene Evolver could give her.
Quan Yugui also wanted Xia Chujian to stay. He looked at Yun Nvluo for her opinion.
Yun Nvluo said gently, "Is Ms. Xia willing to stay and continue protecting Caiwei?"
Xia Chujian showed a troubled expression, "But I was able to complete this mission successfully with the support of the Team. If it were just me alone, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do so well..."
Yun Nvluo raised her eyebrows.
This little girl not only knew when to advance and retreat, understood how to make choices, but also had an unparalleled clear mind.
Moreover, she didn't take credit for others' achievements, and even wanted to share the credit with her Team.
Such a person was truly rare in the workplace.
Yun Nvluo added a few more points to her in her heart and said, "Okay, your Team will all stay and protect Caiwei, just like the previous contract."
Xia Chujian said reservedly, "... The previous contract wasn't two million a day."
Yun Nvluo smiled, "... The contract amount will be revised to two million a day, and the contract action content will remain the same as before. Is that okay?"
Xia Chujian nodded happily, "Of course, our Team can sign the contract immediately."
Gu Shanjun's forehead veins were throbbing. Xia Chujian's words clearly showed that she didn't trust the Quan Family and insisted on putting the contract terms in black and white. The Quan Family was such a large enterprise, one of the Four Great Noble Families, passed down for ten thousand years, how could they not keep their word?! Speaking like this would offend people...
Gu Shanjun grabbed her and said with a smile to Yun Nvluo, "Secretary Yun, Chujian is young and not yet an adult, so she speaks rashly. Please don't mind."
"Oh, not yet an adult? Then her working hours can only be a maximum of four hours a day. Any extra time will be considered overtime and will need to be paid at three times the contract amount." Yun Nvluo immediately said to Quan Yugui.
Xia Chujian said sullenly, "I turned eighteen, just before coming here. I'm not a minor."
Gu Shanjun: "..."
This child, she doesn't say what she should say, and says what she shouldn't say! But Yun Nvluo seemed to appreciate it and said, "Ms. Xia is truly a sincere gentleman. Alright, we don't need to pay overtime, and there's no illegal risk of employing child labor for excessive hours..."
Although Yun Nvluo didn't look at him, Gu Shanjun felt a tingling sensation on his scalp for no reason.
Thankfully, Yun Nvluo didn't say much more, only gesturing for Quan Caiwei and Quan Yugui to leave with her.
Xia Chujian then said, "Director Gu, can I go now?"
She wanted to return to the team and share the joy of the new contract with everyone! Gu Shanjun wanted to say a few words to her, but being on someone else's territory, he held back and said, "I'll take you back to your team. I have something to discuss with your captain."
Xia Chujian nodded and returned to the team's flying vehicle with Gu Shanjun.
Going from the Quan Family's large flying vehicle to Xia Chujian's team's small combat aircraft, Gu Shanjun felt the space suddenly shrink, and his mood became depressed.
He sat in the middle row of seats in the flying vehicle and said to the team members in front of him, "You completed this mission very well. The Quan Family is very satisfied and has offered to renew your contract, allowing you to stay here with a daily rate of two million Beichen Coins."
Their previous contract was six million Beichen Coins for six days, which was one million Beichen Coins per day. Now it had been changed to two million Beichen Coins per day.
Even with the Association's 50% commission, they would still get one million Beichen Coins per day.
The team members were, of course, overjoyed.
Gu Shanjun continued, "The Quan Family initially wanted to keep Chujian alone as Tulip's bodyguard. This million-dollar reward per day was originally for her alone. However, she pointed out that your team acted as a unit to successfully rescue Tulip, so if she were to stay, the entire team had to stay together. The Quan Family agreed."
As he spoke, he observed the expressions of the team members.
In similar situations, some teams would turn against each other, and Xia Chujian would become the target of public criticism because some people would not accept "charity" from their teammates.
But there were also teams that cooperated sincerely and never acted independently. Such teams would accept the situation calmly and be grateful to the person who shared the benefits with the team.
If this team was the former, Gu Shanjun planned to transfer Xia Chujian out of the team.
If the team was the latter, then everyone would be happy, and he wouldn't have to do anything.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ping Qiong excitedly hugged Xia Chujian and said, "Little Chujian is not only our lucky star but also our god of wealth! I love you so much!"
Li Fu and Song Mingqian were also beaming with joy.
They also joined Ping Qiong and hugged Xia Chujian together.
Ye Shijie, sitting in the driver's seat, watched his teammates frolic with a smile and said, "Everyone, remember the person who can bring benefits to the team. Chujian, well done!"
Xia Chujian proudly gave him a thumbs up, looking smug.
Gu Shanjun deeply felt that this team was indeed the latter.
He said reassuringly, "Then continue."
As he left, he still reminded them in a low voice, "Your mission remains to protect the Tulip Noble Daughter. Next, no matter what happens, if it's not related to the Tulip Noble Daughter, do not get involved in the battle."
The five team members looked at each other and replied in unison, "Yes, Director Gu."
After Gu Shanjun left, Ping Qiong pestered Xia Chujian, asking about what happened on the Quan Family's large flying vehicle.
Xia Chujian knew she wanted to know about Quan Yugui, but this was not the time for gossip.
Xia Chujian quietly recounted Fan Chengcai's actions towards Quan Caiwei in simple terms.
She didn't mention the fertility drug, only the sleeping pills, but that was already outrageous enough.
Ping Qiong immediately cursed Fan Chengcai.
Ye Shijie, Song Mingqian, and Li Fu also didn't expect Fan Chengcai to be capable of even more outrageous acts.
Li Fu said, "Fortunately, Xia Chujian shot him dead, or who knows how many more people he would have harmed."
Xia Chujian said, "...Since he dared to do this to the Tulip Noble Daughter, I guess he's done the same thing to people of lower status countless times."
Ping Qiong shrugged, "That's natural. When you find one cockroach, there's already a nest of cockroaches behind it..."
Ye Shijie suddenly said, "...Our Hunted List mission is also completed. Chujian, do you have any photos from the scene?"
Xia Chujian nodded, "I took them. I'll send them to you now."
After she sent them, Ye Shijie thought of a problem and frowned, "Now everyone knows that you killed Fan Chengcai, and the reward for the Hunted List mission has been claimed. Will the Fan Family think that you killed Fan Chengcai for the Hunted List mission and not to save the Tulip Noble Daughter?"
Perhaps as a bodyguard of the Quan Family, killing Fan Chengcai would make the Fan Family dare to be angry but not dare to speak out.
But if they dared to accept a mission from the Hunted List to kill Fan Chengcai, the Fan Family would definitely retaliate.
Xia Chujian smiled, "I thought of that a long time ago, so I've already discussed it with the Quan Family. They will announce to the public that the Quan Family's Dark Guard Elite killed Fan Chengcai and saved the Tulip Noble Daughter. They won't mention our team, and of course, they won't mention my name. This way, they get face, and we get the substance. The benefits are still ours."
"Ah?! Little Chujian, not bad! You've improved!" Li Fu's eyes lit up, and he patted her shoulder. "You've grown up. As expected, being an adult is amazing!"
Xia Chujian reminded them: "I hope you all won't spread this around either! Only a few key people from the Quan Family know about it over there, and then there's Director Gu, and now you guys."
She looked at their faces one by one, smiling, and said, "...otherwise, we'll be exposed."
Surprise, surprise, isn't it unexpected?
There will be a new update at 0:05 tonight.
