Watching Jin Kaide make such a hard landing, Michael also gasped.
It hurt, it hurt so much, I felt the pain for him.
But when he turned his head, he found Zhang Jie was gone.
Looking down, Zhang Jie was nimbly grabbing onto the scaffolding and sliding down.
At this moment, dense footsteps also came from the other side of the rooftop door. Michael knew he couldn't wait any longer, so he quickly jumped down as well, using the scaffolding to climb down.
The three successfully met downstairs. At this time, the helicopter's spotlight on the rooftop was sweeping around, searching for suspicious individuals. The police officers upstairs searched everywhere but found no trace of anyone.
Jin Kaide limped in front, Michael walked behind, and Zhang Jie looked around.
The three quickly ran to the parking lot.
Since Emilia hadn't come down with them, their vehicle situation couldn't be resolved.
However, Michael also had his unique skills. He pulled out a pack of lock-picking tools from his body, preparing to demonstrate keyless entry for Jin Kaide and Zhang Jie.
Then, he directly chose an older Mercedes-Benz to work on.
Watching Michael still deliberating over which small tool to use, Jin Kaide couldn't wait any longer. Just as he was about to act, he heard a 'bang' from beside him.
It turned out to be Zhang Jie, who had directly punched and shattered the Mercedes-Benz's car window.
"What the f***??"
Michael watched Zhang Jie calmly get into the driver's seat, and his whole demeanor changed.
Zhang Jie simply pulled off two wires from the ignition under the steering wheel, touched them together a few times, and the Mercedes-Benz started.
"See? This is what you call f***ing professional, unlike you, fiddling with a few little sticks for ages and still not knowing how to do it. We prioritize high efficiency."
Jin Kaide laughed, picked up a bag from the ground, threw it into the car, and got into the passenger seat: "Let's go."
Zhang Jie floored the accelerator and the Mercedes-Benz drove off. Michael, still stunned on the spot, looked at the tools in his hand before realizing what had happened and shouted loudly in the direction the Mercedes-Benz had left.
"Hey! I haven't gotten in yet! F***... you!!"
Michael was utterly depressed. That Asian man had stolen his job, driven the car away, and even left him behind.
After chasing for 200 meters, the Mercedes-Benz finally stopped. Michael, panting, opened the back door and directly got in.
"You f***ers better not try to leave me behind!"
That was his first sentence upon getting in the car.
Jin Kaide looked in the rearview mirror and said with a hearty laugh: "As a professional bodyguard, you should always remain vigilant, not stand there like an idiot, dazed."
A frustrated Michael was speechless.
But Jin Kaide had no intention of letting him off the hook.
"Look at you, God, you're a 3A-rated bodyguard."
"By the way, what did you just say? You said 'once'? Oh my God, once I was a 3A-rated idiot bodyguard, driving a Jaguar. But now I'm cruising the streets in a beat-up old Mercedes-Benz..."
Michael finally couldn't take it anymore and retorted directly.
"Buckle up!"
Zhang Jie silently drove the car, listening to these two motormouths bickering. It seemed like a decent experience.
"So, as a former top assassin, how were you caught by Interpol?"
Having been constantly mocked by Jin Kaide, Michael couldn't help but retaliate.
Jin Kaide, hearing this question, was clearly silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Because of love."
This answer clearly stunned Michael. He had thought Jin Kaide might have countless explanations, but this one was completely unexpected.
Zhang Jie, who had been quietly driving beside them, suddenly burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at now?"
Michael was very confused.
"I'm laughing at you, you big straight man, motherf***er..."
After being mocked by Zhang, Michael was instantly speechless. How did you also pick up Jin Kaide's foul mouth?
"Do you know what 'simple insults, ultimate pleasure' means?"
Zhang Jie replied without thinking. Michael thought about it, then suddenly understood, it seemed to make sense.
Jin Kaide, on the side, seemed lost in thought. He said with a smile: "That year, I was on a mission in Geneva, about to take out the target, when I received a call from my wife, Sophia. She had been severely injured in a car accident and was being rescued in the hospital."
"Out of concern, I abandoned the mission and rushed back to Mexico. When I arrived at the hospital room..."
"I was held at gunpoint by over twenty agents... Motherf***er!"
"Hahahahaha!"
Upon hearing this, both Zhang Jie and Michael couldn't help but laugh. They never expected a top assassin to have such a clumsy moment.
"You know, Jin Kaide, this kind of behavior is called telecommunication fraud in Huaguo," Zhang Jie said seriously, implying that Jin Kaide, with his love-struck mind, deserved to be caught.
"Hahahahaha!"
Jin Kaide also laughed. Recalling this incident, he also thought he was quite foolish. He took out the flask he carried and took a sip.
He said thoughtfully: "But isn't life like this? Full of uncertainty and harm, you never know what will happen next second, and I didn't dare to bet that Sophia was truly fine."
"No, no, no! I don't agree with your point of view. I believe that with meticulous calculation and planning, we can minimize uncertainty and harm, or even eliminate it entirely."
Michael clearly disagreed with Jin Kaide's point of view.
Jin Kaide screwed the cap back onto his flask and looked back at Michael: "Really? Have you ever taken a bullet for a client?"
Michael answered this question without thinking: "No!"
Hearing this, Jin Kaide immediately started swearing again.
"You can't even take a bullet for a client, what the f*** kind of 3A bodyguard service is that?"
Jin Kaide continued mercilessly, "The 3A service I want is for there to be one person between me and the bullet, do you understand? Motherf***er!"
"That's what 3A service is."
After rendering Michael speechless, Jin Kaide started humming a tune to himself.
"Life is a highway."
"and it's f***ing long."
"It is full of twists and turns."
"So you know some shits are go... going wrong."
It actually sounded quite good, but Michael was very annoyed at the moment and completely didn't want to listen, so he directly lunged forward, trying to turn on the radio.
"you can slip."
"you can slap."
"you can run, but you can't hide."
"Nobody gets out of life."
Jin Kaide took a sip of wine, then looked at Michael and continued to sing.
"No-body gets out of life."
At this moment, Michael had completely quieted down. When Jin Kaide finished singing the last line, Zhang Jie couldn't help but say.
"Good singing, blues."
"Hahahaha!"
