"Hmm." Qin Leshi snorted and walked into the residential area with her head down. When she was more than ten meters away from Gao Jianfei, she suddenly called out, "Gao Jianfei, thank you!"
Gao Jianfei turned around and made a "no problem" gesture, then quickly walked to the nearby bus stop. After changing buses once, Gao Jianfei arrived home.
Xiaoxiao was helping Yan Kui prepare dinner in the kitchen when she saw Gao Jianfei return home. She immediately came out in her kitchen skirt and said with a smile, "Hey, you scumbag, starting tonight, you'll teach me to read, okay? I have time tonight!"
"Huh?" Gao Jianfei was taken aback. "Tonight? Aren't you going to set up a stall on Yuehua Street tonight?"
Xiaoxiao's face flushed red. "Today... I'm not feeling well, so Dad hired a helper temporarily. I'm... resting at home. Anyway, you can teach me starting tonight!" After saying that, Xiaoxiao quickly turned around and went into the kitchen to continue working.
Yan Kui's voice rang out, "Xiaoxiao, don't touch the cold water! Don't touch it, you're on your period, you can't touch the cold water. Go chop the vegetables, go chop the vegetables."
Gao Jianfei immediately understood why Xiaoxiao was feeling unwell... Her period had started!
With a slight smile, Gao Jianfei went upstairs and returned to his room.
Before going back inside, Xiaoxiao called out, "Hey, dinner's in 10 minutes, be downstairs on time!"
In the room, Gao Jianfei quickly turned on the virtual monitor to take a look... The exorcism points were recovering rather slowly. Just now, in the planning department office, Gao Jianfei glanced at them and the exorcism points had recovered to "565". But now, the exorcism points had only just reached "570".
Gao Jianfei remembered that he had used up the 301 exorcism points he had recovered earlier that morning. This meant that from midnight until now, he had actually recovered over 800 exorcism points. Just as the intelligent program had stated, only about 700-800 exorcism points could actually be recovered each day.
"Well, today, the exorcism points have almost recovered to their limit. I can't wait until tomorrow, so today I'll find an opportunity to go to the ghost den and play with a virtual level 2 ghost!" Gao Jianfei had made his decision.
However, I need to teach Xiaoxiao to read tonight, so I definitely won't have time or a chance to enter the ghost den. So… after dinner, I'll make an excuse to go out, then find a secluded spot to enter the ghost den and get things done!
Not long after, Xiaoxiao shouted downstairs, calling Gao Jianfei to come down for dinner.
After dinner, Gao Jianfei helped wash the dishes, while Yan Kui was busy preparing for his street stall. Xiao Xiao was in the kitchen, standing beside Gao Jianfei, saying, "Hey, after you wash the dishes, will you teach me to read? I really want to learn to read now!"
Gao Jianfei's eyes darted around a few times. "Xiaoxiao, I'll definitely teach you to read tonight, don't worry about that. But, my boss gave me a task tonight... I need to pick up a client from the airport! Okay, I'll go out right after I finish washing the dishes. Don't worry, Xiaoxiao, I'll be back to teach you to read in no more than 23 hours! Look, it's only 6:30 now, which means I'll be home around 10 o'clock. Then I'll teach you seriously for 2 hours, how about that?"
Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, "Okay! Your work is important, teach me when you're done! Anyway, I'll be waiting for you at home!"
"Hehe, Xiaoxiao is so good!" Gao Jianfei couldn't help but praise.
Xiaoxiao made a face at Gao Jianfei, then turned and left the kitchen.
After washing the dishes, Gao Jianfei wiped his hands, said goodbye to Xiaoxiao, and walked outside.
Xiaoxiao saw Gao Jianfei off and couldn't help but say, "I'll wait for you, remember to hurry."
"Okay, don't worry, I'll be right back!" Gao Jianfei nodded to Xiaoxiao, then walked out of Yuehua Village. After leaving Yuehua Village, Gao Jianfei didn't take the minibus. He smoked a cigarette at the station, then quietly returned to Yuehua Village.
Gao Jianfei didn't plan to go anywhere else; he had actually chosen a place long ago... Yuehua Park!
The so-called Yuehua Park is actually a park built in the 1990s by the residents of Yuehua Village through collective fundraising. Calling it a park isn't entirely accurate, because besides some horizontal and parallel bars, swings, and wooden benches, there are practically no other recreational facilities. The park's unique feature is that it takes advantage of Yuehua Village's advantageous location; it doesn't have much else, but it has plenty of mountains, water, trees, and flowers…
Anyway, rural parks are mostly natural scenery rather than man-made facilities and equipment.
The park is deserted now, making it convenient for Gao Jianfei to enter the Ghost Den. Besides, the park is quite large; even if people are playing there, Gao Jianfei can easily find a quiet corner to do his own thing.
Soon, Gao Jianfei entered Yuehua Park.
Just as Gao Jianfei had imagined, apart from the sounds of birds chirping and insects buzzing, there wasn't a single person in the park!
"This place was definitely the right choice!" Gao Jianfei suppressed his excitement at the prospect of entering a den of ghosts and walked deeper into the park.
A few minutes later, Gao Jianfei arrived at an open lawn, at the other end of which was a large birch forest.
Gao Jianfei chose that forest; it was remote and desolate, perfectly meeting his requirements!
Just as Gao Jianfei was about to walk towards the woods, suddenly, a large flock of roosting birds took flight from the sky above the woods!
"Huh? Someone's here!" Gao Jianfei reacted immediately. At the same time, a series of hurried and chaotic footsteps came from the dense forest.
Immediately afterwards, Gao Jianfei saw a large group of people running out of the dense forest, their faces filled with extreme terror! It was as if they were being chased by ghosts!
They ran towards the lawn where Gao Jianfei was! They ran straight towards Gao Jianfei!
Before Gao Jianfei could even process what was happening, a very strange man strolled out of the dense forest. The reason he was strange was because... he was wearing a trench coat! A black trench coat!
Keep in mind, it's summer now, and the flower market has a subtropical climate, so it's extremely hot. Normal people would wear short-sleeved t-shirts or shirts, or even go shirtless and expose their chests; absolutely no one would wear a windbreaker in this weather.
Unless, of course, that person is insane!
Is that trench coat-clad man who leisurely walked out of the dense forest a madman?
Gao Jianfei quickly dismissed his own guess.
Because Gao Jianfei already understood why that man was wearing a trench coat... He saw the man simultaneously put both hands into the large trench coat, and then, when his hands came out, a black, shiny pistol with a silencer appeared in both his left and right hands!
The trench coat is for hiding guns!
"Pfft!" "Pfft!"
The man in the trench coat fired with remarkable flair; each bullet sent one of the men running towards Gao Jianfei straight to hell!
The man in the trench coat was an incredibly skilled marksman. Every shot he fired killed someone, and every single one of them entered the back of the head, resulting in an instant death! He would never aim for any other part of the body.
"It's not filming! It's definitely not filming!" Gao Jianfei panicked. At this moment, the right choice would be to turn and run! But strangely, Gao Jianfei felt as if he were locked in place by a strange aura!
His subconscious told him that he couldn't run around recklessly, or even turn around, otherwise this energy would directly devour him!
To put it simply, it's like there's a person standing in front of Gao Jianfei with a wolfhound on a leash. As long as Gao Jianfei doesn't move, the person won't loosen the leash. But as soon as Gao Jianfei moves even slightly, the person will release the dog!
"Pfft! Pfft!"
One by one, the people running towards Gao Jianfei were instantly killed by the man in the trench coat and fell into Gao Jianfei's sight...
"Protect Young Master Feng... Ah..." a burly man roared, then was shot dead on the spot.
After that, only two people remained in the group. They stumbled over, and when they reached Gao Jianfei's side, they seemed to realize that everyone around them was dead! Moreover, they seemed to be locked onto by that strange aura, just like Gao Jianfei!
Their frantic escape suddenly froze, stopping beside Gao Jianfei, as if someone had pressed the pause button!
At that moment, a terrifying thought suddenly surged into Gao Jianfei's subconscious... The next person that man in the trench coat was going to shoot was me!
Not the main character, not those two men who stopped in their tracks, terrified, standing next to Gao Jianfei!
Gao Jianfei had already seen the man in the trench coat grin. He was smiling at Gao Jianfei, a cruel and disdainful smile, as if... he saw a cockroach on the ground and found it very unpleasant, and was about to stomp on it!
He's already raised his gun!
In the blink of an eye, the thin, thread-like heat flow within Gao Jianfei's body began to roll!
In an instant, Gao Jianfei's panicked and fearful emotions calmed down, and his eyes were fixed on the man in the trench coat.
locking!
Gao Jianfei, who was locked onto by the trench coat man's aura, instead locked onto the trench coat man directly!
Lock, and... delock!
The man in the trench coat froze for a moment!
The smile on his face froze instantly, as if he had a premonition of a terrible and ominous sign!
Just then, Gao Jianfei flicked his right hand, and the throwing knife that Li Xunhuan had given him was already in his hand... "Whoosh!"
The throwing knife is thrown!
The heat within Gao Jianfei's body was entirely absorbed into the throwing knife!
No one can describe the speed of Gao Jianfei's strike, and no one can put it into words!
"Ah!" The man in the trench coat didn't even have a chance to fire his gun. His throat was instantly pierced, and a tremendous force threw his body backward!
"Bang!" His body fell heavily backward several meters before landing on the ground. The throwing knife pierced his throat and embedded itself in the trunk of a birch tree behind him.
Everything returned to peace...
Sold out instantly!
The two men standing next to Gao Jianfei looked at the dead man in the trench coat with horrified eyes, then turned their heads with difficulty to look at Gao Jianfei.
Their eyes were filled with disbelief, doubt, and a stormy sea!
In fact, although the speed at which Gao Jianfei threw that knife cannot be accurately described, a rough deduction can still be made.
Imagine someone holding a pistol, their finger on the trigger, even ready to pull it, when another person throws a knife, piercing their throat before they can fire.
So, how fast was this slash?
Moreover, this man in the trench coat is no ordinary gunman! He's a high-end assassin renowned for his rapid firing and exquisite marksmanship… "Scorpion!"
Scorpion, a man who had killed countless people throughout his life and never missed a shot, was killed by a throwing knife even though he had a gun in his hand...
At this moment, Gao Jianfei's face was pale and expressionless. Even though it was his first time killing someone, he showed no excitement or discomfort. His pale face made him appear exceptionally cold... This wasn't to say that Gao Jianfei was deliberately showing off or being cool; that last strike was truly his full strength! All the internal heat energy was used up, and it seemed that all his energy and spirit had been drained!
Apart from exhaustion and a blank mind, Gao Jianfei really didn't feel anything else.
But Gao Jianfei's behavior seemed completely different to the two men...
Calm, composed, numb.
After taking down a top assassin, he remained calm and composed, as if he had just done something insignificant!
The two richly dressed men, who already possessed an air of importance, now resembled sick cats. They involuntarily took a half-step back, both bowing slightly. They opened their mouths, but remained silent for a moment. They… were pondering how to address Gao Jianfei!
They would absolutely not dare to call you "friend" directly!
So……
"Sir!" the handsome young man on the left greeted him respectfully.
Soon after, the young man on the right, wearing a black shirt and looking quite imposing, also bowed deeply, saying, "Sir... thank you so much for saving me."
Gao Jianfei didn't have much strength to speak, "I... I'm not saving you."
The two young men were terrified. "Yes, yes, we are not worth your time, sir."
Gao Jianfei didn't want to say anything more. He closed his eyes and began to recuperate slowly.
The two young men didn't dare to move an inch. They stood there bent over, their legs swaying slightly.

Chapter Forty: Dongxing Yaohui, Young Master Feng
Gao Jianfei's current condition was as if his brain was severely lacking oxygen; he had to close his eyes and keep his lips tightly shut. If he opened his eyes, he would feel dizzy and disoriented!
This situation lasted for a full minute before it improved slightly.
Gao Jianfei also had his own thoughts on that last strike... The throwing knife was indeed very powerful! However, a single strike with all one's might, a fight to the death, would inevitably result in one's own death if the enemy wasn't killed! Even if the enemy was killed, one's physical condition would be far from optimistic!
"Perhaps, my own foundation is too weak," Gao Jianfei slowly opened his eyes, his pale face gradually regaining a touch of rosiness, but his demeanor still appeared very tired.
To the two young men beside him, this weariness was undoubtedly a sign of indifference!
