The escape route was right in front of him, as long as he jumped down from here and opened the parachute, he could still fight for a chance of survival.

However, imagination was always beautiful, but reality was a blow to the head.

Just as Liu Qing put one foot on the window and was about to jump into the air, a gunshot came from behind. The crisp sound cut through the night sky and echoed in the entire office.

The bullet flew forward at a speed of 100 meters and pierced straight through Liu Qing’s calf, causing him to no longer have the strength to jump.

Shan Yue had indeed said that she wanted to keep Liu Qing alive for interrogation. Bullets could not hit his head, but she did not say that they could not hit anywhere else. Besides, there was no time for Chang Ling to think so much about the scene just now. The most important thing was to stop Liu Qing from escaping.

After the gunshot, blood flowed down Liu Qing’s calf. The pain instantly filled his entire body. Even so, Liu Qing did not give up his last hope of survival. Although he leaned against the window, he was still climbing up.

“So stubborn.” Shan Yue’s face was filled with disdain, and there was a hint of mockery in her tone. “Your courage is commendable, but you’ve used this little bit of intelligence in the wrong place.”

Shan Yue crossed half the office in two strides and arrived behind Liu Qing at lightning speed. A hand grabbed the collar behind him and turned around with her right leg as the center. She bent down slightly and threw Liu Qing on his back.

Now, he no longer had the ability to escape. He could only obediently surrender.

“You’re still too inexperienced to fight me. Go back and train for another few decades.” Shan Yue showed all the mockery on her face. “Just because Lang Nan offered a higher bounty, you, a silver-level killer, dare to take over. You’re really bold.”

“Shan Yue, let me tell you, don’t be happy too early. Once the organization discovers that 1 haven’t returned, they will definitely investigate you according to the mission I accepted. At that time, 1 won’t be the only one you’ll have to face.”

At this point, Liu Qing could only be stubborn. “Since you know something about the organization, you must know their methods. None of us can have an easy time.”

“Hurry up and think about what you should do next. Why are you still dreaming?”

Shan Yue did not hide her disdain at all. She turned her gaze to Chang Ling. “Take him away and lock him up. Tell everyone not to let their guard down.”

“I understand, President Shan.” With that, Chang Ling called his underlings up from downstairs. They cuffed Liu Qing’s hands and feet and took him away to be locked up.

After settling everything, the sun slowly rose from the east, and the gradually strong sunlight filled the ground.

Shan Yue sat alone on a chair in the office. As the curtains were not drawn, the room was still slightly dark. She crossed her hands under her chin and assumed a thoughtful posture.

In her original plan, she should have delayed her meeting with the organization until at least after the New Year.

She had already interacted with the organization near the end of the year. This was undoubtedly a mixed blessing. If the higher-ups of the organization knew that the meticulous plan back then had not achieved their goal, they would definitely cause trouble again to achieve the effect of preventing future trouble.

Once the situation developed to that extent, not only would her life be greatly threatened, but even her family and the people around her would die.

In this way, Shan Yue had no choice but to advance her plan completely. The first step was to start with Liu Qing. Only by knowing who was the main culprit at that time could she eliminate the root of the problem.

At the thought of this, Shan Yue no longer hesitated and followed Chang Ling to the room where Liu Qing was imprisoned.

The gunshot wound on his leg had already been treated. Although it was difficult to suppress the pain, at least it was not a threat to his life..
