Chapter 219 - Dark Web Mission Accepted

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As night fell, the lights in the villa went out one by one. Only the lights in Qiu Tong’s room were still on.

In the dim light, Qiu Tong sat in front of the computer and pondered. The multiple abduction attempts on the children meant that their surroundings were not safe!

She picked up her phone and stared at the blank chat window for two seconds before slamming the phone onto the table.

Jin Yang and her only had a marriage of convenience.

The matters of the Qiu family had nothing to do with him. Qiu Tong reminded herself not to rely on him too much.

Qiu Xingyu had put a family photo carefully in a frame and placed it on the computer table.

Qiu Tong’s gaze landed on it. She picked it up and examined it. Her heart stirred.

The Qiu Rong in the photo frame was full of energy, while the Qiu Rong she saw in the prison some time ago was so worn out that the hair at his temples had turned white.

The warden had told her that she could spend money to reduce his sentence. For every five million dollars, she could reduce the sentence by a year!

Qiu Tong opened the Dark Web with furrowed brows. She selected suitable missions according to the remuneration. She was preparing to bring Qiu Rong back…

There were fake missions mixed into the real missions listed on the Dark Web. Qiu Tong saw that the highest-paying mission was to protect a person of interest over two weeks. The remuneration was three million! She was tempted and memorized the contact method. It was late into the night when she dialed the number.

The phone rang for nearly half a minute. Just as Qiu Tong thought that the mission was a fake, the call finally connected.

“Hello? Are you hiring over the Dark Web?”

Qiu Tong asked coldly. On the other hand, the voice on the other end sounded abashed. “That’s right, I’ll give you the address. Come see me tomorrow!”

The other party hung up after saying that. Qiu Tong looked at the address she received with a blank expression.

Could this be an especially dangerous mission?

The next morning, Qiu Tong prepared breakfast for the children and specially changed into a polished outfit.

Qiu Xingyuan came out of the bedroom in his pajamas and looked at her.

Qiu Xingyu rubbed her sleepy eyes and ran out. She threw herself into Qiu Tong’s arms coquettishly. Seeing her with light makeup on, which was a rare sight, she asked, “Is Mommy going out on a date? Is Uncle Jin Yang back?”

Jin Yang did have some ability. He could win over the hearts of the three Qiu siblings in such a short period of time!

Qiu Tong patted the top of Little Yu’s head and said casually, “Mommy is interviewing for a job to earn money to support the family!”

“Little Yu, why don’t you wish Mommy the best for her interview! That I can successfully get this job…”

When Qiu Xingyuan and Qiu Xingqiao heard that, they put down their chopsticks. Qiu Tong was surprised by their worried and heavy expressions.

Qiu Xingqiao said seriously, “We can lower our living standards.”

“I’ve also developed a medicine recently. We should be able to earn some money from selling the patent. It can supplement the household income.”

Qiu Tong looked at the children’s worried expressions and tried to placate them. She got Ke Le to escort them to the kindergarten while she rushed over to the address, which was a research institute.

She reported her name to the security guard at the door and entered a heavily guarded laboratory building with a pass.

Three million for a bodyguard?

Qiu Tong wondered if all university professors were so rich now.

Qiu Tong pushed the door open and saw an old professor sitting behind the desk. He was a little surprised to see that the applicant was a woman, but he still maintained his gentlemanly manner and pointed at the opposite seat, indicating for her to sit.

The old professor pushed up his glasses and introduced himself, “My surname is Dong.”

“Recently, a group of foreign evil forces has infiltrated our city. They want to kidnap me. I have a bounty on my head so I went to the Dark Web to hire someone to protect me. You are a young lady and you look… I’m afraid you don’t meet my requirements. Sorry.”

Qiu Tong saw that he wanted to reject her and suggested, “You must have some bodyguards by your side now. Why don’t we have a competition before we decide?”

Professor Dong narrowed his eyes at her confident look and gestured for his bodyguards to spar with her.

Qiu Tong glanced at them from the corner of her eye and threw a quick punch, immediately knocking down one of them. Taking advantage of their surprise, she bent down and swept out one leg, bringing the rest of the bodyguards to the ground. The entire process only took three seconds.

Professor Dong was so shocked that his jaw dropped. He immediately signed the contract with Qiu Tong and paid half the fee as a deposit.

“Why do the foreign evil forces want to kidnap you?”

Qiu Tong looked at Professor Dong’s troubled expression and shrugged. “You can choose not to tell me if you want to keep this a secret.”

Professor Dong had already signed a confidentiality agreement with Qiu Tong, so he naturally trusted her.

“Come with me…”

Professor Dong gently rotated the pen holder on his desk. A secret door suddenly opened in the office.

Qiu Tong did not expect the university laboratory building to have such a mechanism. She followed Professor Dong in and saw several huge glass enclosures in the small space. They contained human specimens! On a laboratory counter, which was suffused with a blue light, were a few human organs and some white mice for testing.

Boom—

A loud noise came from a metal cage in the corner. Qiu Tong turned around and saw a faint glow radiating from the darkness.. It was a pair of green eyes!
