Chapter 107: Familiar Face

He looked from left to right and scanned the people before him. Jiang Cheng’s eyes narrowed when he saw the last woman. The woman looked young and was dressed young too. She had on a beige top and a green dress. She exuded grace with a little naughtiness. She had barely any make-up on. She looked like someone who had just graduated from school. Youthfulness lingered on her face. The woman was very silent. Her eyes radiated the illusion of weakness and naivete.

Yes... An illusion. This was because Jiang Cheng could sense the hostility deep within her eyes. It almost pierced him. Jiang Cheng didn’t expect to encounter a familiar face.

Chen Xiaomeng... It was the innocent-looking high-school student from the first mission.

After a brief meeting of the eyes, they both moved away subtly. Due to the new arrival, the atmosphere became interesting. For a moment, no one spoke as they observed quietly.

“It looks like we’re quite lucky.” A graceful man around 40 smiled. His voice was convincing and kind. “Everyone is very calm. We don’t have any newbies this time. This should be easier.”

When Jiang Cheng entered the booth, he had already noticed this man. He was handsome and well-dressed. With a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, he stood out. He held his forehead and laughed sadly. He said that he was paired with four newbies in his last mission. When the mission started, the two of them started to fight since they were unable to accept the truth. They fought so hard that it attracted the police and almost deviated from the plot.

“Will the police... show up in the missions?” It was a woman who spoke. She acted very casually. She was very normal-looking. She looked around 35. She had wrinkles around her eyes.

The man seemed to read the woman’s mind. He smiled, “Even though they were police, they did not intervene with our plot. If anything, they offered valuable aid.”

Hearing that, the light in the woman’s eyes dimmed. It looked like... getting the police’s help to clear the mission was impossible.

“How long you’ve been here already?” Jiang Cheng asked.

“I arrived around ten minutes ago,” A fat man with bushy hair answered. When everyone turned to him, his voice lowered. “I pushed open the door, and here I was.”

“By here, you mean...”

“It looks like this is the venue of our mission,” Chen Xiaomeng appeared collected, very different from when she was on the first mission.

A condescending chuckle echoed. It was followed by a seductive voice, “Do you wish to die? How can you conclude that based on the current situation?”

Jiang Cheng followed the voice. A voluptuous woman leaned against her chair. Charm flowed through her eyes. She was like a snake.

Chen Xiaomeng was about to retort.

“Stop arguing.” Elegant man frowned.

No wonder the man said his last mission was affected due to the disharmony within his group. He was hinting at these two women. Based on the smell of firepowder, they probably had been at it before Jiang Cheng arrived.

“The situation is unclear. It doesn’t help to fight among ourselves,” Elegant Man advised. He played the role of the leader like Fan Li did in the first mission. However, his leadership skills were clearly better than Fan Li’s.

After he spoke up, the woman and Chen Xiaomeng quieted down.

This made Jiang Cheng take another look at the man.

“Now, I’ll have to trouble everyone to introduce themselves,” Elegant Man began, “Your occupation, your title, your field of expertise and so on...” He paused before adding, “This is very important.” To be an example, he started by saying, “My name is Zhou Rong. I’m the vice president of Thousand City Organisation. I’m very good at data analysis.” He didn’t give the others the chance to say no. He looked at the person beside him.

It was a middle-aged man with a thin and weak body. He was in official attire. However, his small eyes couldn’t hide his fatigue. He withered under Zhou Rong’s gaze and answered quickly, “I’m Jiang Zhongyi. I... I am an intern priest. I’m good at...”
