Bo Yanchen would never forget the man who had once been ranked tenth on the resource network as a sniper and had been pursuing him a month ago.
The opponent used a specially modified silenced gun, capable of sniping from over two hundred meters away.
But a month ago, he mysteriously died at the scene, with only a lethal silver needle found in his neck and no other clues.
Even the International Special Security Bureau (ISSB) couldn't find any leads; all surveillance footage from that period was blank.
Because of this, the ISSB strengthened its internal security system, fearing that this person might be an enemy.
Wei Xingzhou stated gravely, "It's his gun."
The tenth-ranked sniper's weapon had been discussed on the resource network, and anyone familiar with it would recognize it immediately.
Clearly, the person who killed the tenth-ranked sniper must have taken all his belongings, including his specialized weapon.
Now, he had reappeared.
Wei Xingzhou suddenly felt a chill down his spine and looked at Bo Yanchen with a complex expression, considering whether to slip away and avoid accompanying him in South City.
This man was extremely dangerous!
Bo Yanchen glanced at him and clicked his tongue.
The group left the dock, and not far from it, they encountered several people lying on the ground.
Fang He went over to check them.
"Sir, it's the silver needle that killed them."
Fang He now felt a headache whenever he saw a silver needle, vividly remembering the sensation of Ji Chuxing's acupuncture this morning. If not for maintaining his manly pride, he would have cried on the spot.
He never wanted to feel that kind of pain again.
Thus, Second Master Bo looked at the silver needle, lost in thought.

Wei Xingzhou went to the hospital to treat his wounds, while Bo Yanchen finished handling external matters. When he returned home, he saw Ji Chuxing sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, eating ice cream with great relish, but her mood seemed off.
She pouted.
When she saw Bo Yanchen return, she merely glanced at him.
"Xingbao, back so early?" Bo Yanchen asked.
Ji Chuxing nodded.
She was indeed in a bad mood because of a mix-up; she had taken a task to break her own defenses, and one task was always imperfect.
But would Ji Chuxing return the advance payment?
No way. So, she was now arguing with the client on the resource network.
Ji Chuxing firmly believed she had completed the task. The client's people had arrived, even though they were all eliminated.
Though the main force was misled by false information and sent to another sea area, it wasn't her fault. Blame should be placed on their weakness.
Hmph!
So, she didn't intend to refund the advance and marked the task as completed.
This infuriated the client, who threatened to post her on the resource network's wanted list!
That was unacceptable; being wanted would affect her ability to take tasks!
Cutting off someone's income was like taking their life.
Ji, the little money-grubber, was very angry and hacked the client's account, and even the wanted section of the resource network.
After a series of swift actions, her mood improved, and her small, silly hair flicked.
Having finished her ice cream, she glanced at Bo Yanchen, then put down her laptop and walked seriously towards the fridge, reminding Bo Yanchen, "Today's first jelly!"
Bo Yanchen looked at the trash can filled with several packaging boxes: "..."
He reached out to throw the empty ice cream container in the bin, accidentally touching Ji Chuxing's laptop. The computer moved, and the darkened screen lit up again, revealing the resource network page in front of Second Master Bo.
And in the upper left corner, the login account name, "Omnipotent," made Bo Yanchen's eyelids twitch.
Ji Chuxing rummaged through the fridge, the sound of her movements faintly heard. Without turning around, he knew the little glutton was lingering to grab more snacks.
Then, Bo Yanchen smiled.
Ji Chuxing said it was the first jelly, but she returned with not just jelly but also yogurt, snacks, and a small bottle of cola.
She sat down and picked up her laptop.
"Xingbao, was the dock fun?" Bo Yanchen asked suddenly.
Ji Chuxing blinked, looking innocent and well-behaved, "I didn't go to the dock, I went to the bookstore."
Bo Yanchen chuckled and pinched her cheek, "Little one, lying means losing your snacks."
Ji Chuxing shot him a sharp look.
Bo Yanchen continued leisurely, "I was planning to give our Xingbao some hard-earned money..."
Ji Chuxing immediately became serious and earnest, spreading her hands, "Twelve people, each ten thousand!"
She had used twelve bullets today!
Bullets are expensive!
Bo Yanchen finally burst into laughter, his smile wide and genuine.
Ji Chuxing pouted, looking at him oddly.
You may laugh nicely, but do you know how strange you are?
Second Master Bo ruffled Ji Chuxing's hair, "Kid, you sure have a lot of aliases."
Ji Chuxing turned her face away: Hmph!
