Reincarnation Of The Businesswoman At School

"Not many, but those who knew I took the task didn't apply for a phone number with an ID card either, so I don't know who they are. They only contact me when they need me," said the man.

"How did they know your phone number? How did they know you've taken this task?" Gu Ning asked. There must be a reason for that.

"I know many members in illegal gangs. Perhaps they spread the news, but I don't know which one of them did it. I can't ask them one by one. Anyway, I take tasks when I have confidence to fulfill them," said the man. He was also curious to know who spread the news, but it was impossible for him to ask those gangsters one by one, so he gave up.

Since those people shared his phone number without telling him, they didn't want him to know who they were. Anyway, it wasn't a bad thing since he could be paid.

Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting slightly frowned after hearing that, because it would be difficult for them to conduct an investigation.

"Did the caller say how to make sure that you've successfully finished the task?" Gu Ning asked. If they couldn't make sure she was really killed, how would the caller tell the man the location of the final payment?

In order to make sure she was really killed, the caller must need evidence other than the man's words. Therefore, Gu Ning wanted to know how they made sure of it to see whether she could have any clues.

"I'll call him after I finish the task," said the man, but he wondered whether it was enough. The caller must want to make sure the target was really dead, but the caller hadn't told the man how to do that yet, so he had no idea.

Because accidents might happen and killers might lie to their hirers if the task failed by making fake evidence, hirers wouldn't tell the way to make sure of the result beforehand.

Killers could only receive the next order after the task was done. In that case, killers wouldn't have time to make fake evidence.

"Call back with his phone then." Gu Ning said to Leng Shaoting. Hearing that, Leng Shaoting found the man's phone and asked, "Password?"

The man didn't dare to keep it a secret, so he told Leng Shaoting.

After Leng Shaoting unlocked the phone, he let the man point out the hirer's number and taught the man what to say before calling the hirer back.

Before long, the hirer answered the call.

Once the call was answered, the man said, "Task is done."

"Cut her head off. Take a short video and send it to me," said the hirer.

Cut her head off?

Hearing that, both Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning were mad and the man felt stressed. However, Gu Ning didn't feel familiar with that voice at all, so she could be sure that the hirer wasn't her enemy in City Ao.

It was only her temporary judgment, because the hirer could be the support behind her enemies.

Those gamblers might be mad at her after losing to her last time.

At the same time, Gu Ning also wondered whether the mastermind was from a foreign country and only paid the hirer to carry out the plan.

"No problem," said the man and Leng Shaoting hung up.

"He stayed alert. We're not in the mainland now, so it's not easy to find out who the person is. Why don't we be more patient? I bet the person will show up at the gambling party. I think I could recognize him once he talks," said Gu Ning. Given Gu Ning's and Leng Shaoting's memory and savvy, they could recognize the hirer when they met again although they had only heard the voice once.

After a pause, Gu Ning continued, "If we don't meet him, we can conduct an investigation afterwards."

Gu Ning wouldn't let go of the person who tried to kill her and she would surely fight back according to the situation.

"Sure." Leng Shaoting agreed.

They couldn't kill this killer, so they could only disable him.

The killer was seriously injured, so Gu Ning only needed to freeze his wounds by releasing icy magical power. He would be a disabled man from now on.

If Gu Ning wanted to kill, he would be dead already. Therefore, Gu Ning told Leng Shaoting to let the man go. After that, she released icy magical power and made the injuries more painful.

What was going on here?

Without hesitation, Gu Ning froze the man's throat too. He couldn't tell other people what he had been through tonight so she didn't need to warn him.

After everything was done, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting left.

The man felt scared and full of despair. He was scared because the injuries suddenly became extremely painful and he couldn't make any sounds through his throat. It was really strange.

He even thought that Gu Ning might be a monster or ghost or something and cast a spell on him.

The man was terrified. Although he refused to believe in monsters and ghosts, he didn't know how to explain what he had been through tonight.

He was in despair because he knew he was disabled. In fact, if he had known the result, he wouldn't have taken the task. Unfortunately, it was too late.

There was no one around and no surveillance cameras, so nobody could see what had happened here.

The hirer didn't receive the man's reply after a long time, so the hirer felt the man might have lied to him. The man could have failed to finish the task, and only wanted to get the other five hundred thousand yuan.

It was absolutely unacceptable, so the hirer called the man again. His call was answered, but no one said anything on the phone. No matter how many calls the hirer made, he received the same result.

This time, the hirer was sure that the man had lied to him. He became mad and subconsciously wanted to pay the man back. However, after thinking about it twice, he gave up because he would be exposed by doing that.

If the man really failed, the man could have betrayed him under pressure.

Although the hirer believed he would be safe, he had to be very careful. Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting might have set a trap, waiting for him to jump in it.

The hirer had to swallow his anger for the sake of his safety. He had wasted five hundred thousand yuan because the killer failed.

He was unwilling to accept the result, but he could do nothing about it.
