Chapter 1419: 1419
It’s not even 5:30, and I can get off work normally again! I’ve already composed myself by the time when I walk out of the police station, feeling happy that I don’t have to work overtime today .
Before I left in the afternoon, I communicated with the administration department and was told that I didn’t need to return to the company . After all, we didn’t know how long the meeting would take .
What if Officer Deng got me to stay for dinner, sing some karaoke, and enjoy a spa, right?
Although the probability of this happening is low, even if it wouldn’t happen to me, I still have to be prepared .
The distance from the old estate where my rented apartment is to the police station is shorter than it is from my company, but I still chose to take public transport, because the company doesn’t reimburse the transportation fees for returning home .
Metro line 3,600 meters… Bus 72, 150 meters… I take out my phone and search for a route home .
After careful consideration, I choose to take the bus .
The weather is hot in the summer, so it’s best if I can minimize the steps taken .
As I wait at the bus stop for the bus, I can’t help but doubt my life .
I’m already a real, powerful, and extraordinary assassin . Why do I have to live like a slave of society?
But I can’t get any money without work .
Assassins also need to save money to buy a house, food, and clothes!
Sigh, at times like this, it should be like a game . Give me an assassin manager and help me gather missions . After confirming how evil my target is, I’ll shave my head and flash through the crowd . No, being bald is too ugly . Forget it…
What can I do?
Record videos of extreme sports?
I still have to practice and learn . I’ve never paid attention to it before…
Actually, I can consider joining the police academy . As an assassin, I’m capable of capturing thieves and scammers . I won’t disappoint with my abilities . The only problem is that I’ve heard that a policeman’s income isn’t too high .
Perhaps it’s better after the probation period?
As I seriously consider the future, I board the bus . I hold the handle and notebook with one hand, and I pull out my phone with the other .
I’m a refined person . I definitely won’t blast out any sounds in public . I don’t have wireless earphones, so I can only browse Weibo and HUPU, an online sports community website .
As the bus drives, it suddenly stops . The driver’s voice sounds from the speaker .
“Get off the bus . There’s a malfunction . Wait for the next one . ”
The passengers curse as they get out of the bus . I’m among them as I sigh at my bad luck today .
There’s only one stop left . There’s no need to wait . I’ll just walk back . I open the map app and confirm my current location .
If I knew this would happen, I might as well have taken the subway!
I follow the GPS—walking straight, taking a bend, crossing the street—to the old estate I live in .
At this moment, I see a five or six-year-old girl jump out from the roadside, and an SUV is speeding over .
“…” I’m stunned at first, but then I realize that I’m an assassin, an expert that surpasses ordinary people .
Without any hesitation, I run towards the girl .
Seeing that I might not make it in time, I exert strength into my legs and kick out, relying on my assassin’s ability to unleash all of my strength in one strike to pounce forward .
During this process, I feel like a sharp arrow that had been shot from a bow .
In the blink of an eye, I lunge for the little girl and hug her .
Then, I straighten my back and quickly adjust my body structure, making myself as light as a feather .

The SUV finally stops . I take a few steps to the side and steady myself .
To be honest, I was hit, but because I made myself seemingly weightless, I didn’t suffer any damage .
“Are you alright?” The SUV driver gets out of the car and frantically asks .
His face is drenched in sweat .
“I’m fine . It was a close one . ” I put down the dazed little girl and pat her shoulder .
She has long, jet-black hair which makes her qualified to be a model in a shampoo commercial .
“That’s good, that’s good . ” The SUV driver is relieved to see that I didn’t dirty or injure myself .
At this moment, a middle-aged man rushes out from the side of the road .
When he sees that the little girl is fine, he’s obviously relieved .
His skin is bronze in color and he has soft facial features . He has a pair of eyes that are closer in color to brown . They appear to have been through a lot .
“Thank you, thank you . Are you okay?” he asks, concerned .
“No, my luck isn’t bad . I just happened to avoid the collision,” I reply with a smile, inexplicably in a good mood .
I’ve finally used the ability belonging to an assassin .
The SUV driver points at his license plate .
“Contact me if you have any problems . I still have something to do, so I’ll be leaving first . ”
The middle-aged man nods before saying to me,

“Why don’t you come to my shop to have a drink to calm yourself down?”
For some reason, I feel a sense of closeness with him . And since it’s free, I don’t reject him .
“Okay . ”
As I speak, I pick up the black notebook .
After leaving the road and passing through the non-motorcar lane, I see this gentleman’s shop .
This is a themed bookstore . It’s renovated to look like a coffee shop . The other door leads to a nearby park with a wooden swing hanging on it .
“Don’t wander around in the future . It’s very dangerous . Come on, thank Uncle . ” The bookstore owner pulls the little girl over .
“Call me Brother . Don’t make me sound so old,” I joke .
“Thank you, Brother . ” The little girl follows his instructions .
Without waiting for my reply, she cleverly says, “Then my father is your elder!”
Damn, did I just get taken advantage of… I can only smile helplessly .
The bookstore owner immediately asks, “What would you like to drink?”
“A cold beverage would do . ” I’m not a picky eater .
“Okay . ” The bookstore owner points at the surrounding bookshelves and says, “You can also pick a book to read . ”
“Okay . ” As he mixes the cold beverage, I curiously walk to the bookshelf to see what’s on it .

What kind of books are these? I’m stunned as I read them . Finally, I choose the seemingly normal Groselle’s Travels .
Just as I find a seat and sit down, the bookstore owner walks over with a glass .
The drink is brownish-red in color, and there’s quite a few pieces of ice in it . After drinking it in one gulp, it’s slightly sour and sweet . It’s cold and very refreshing . Great for the summer .
“Not bad,” I praise .
The boss doesn’t say anything else and returns to the cashier .
I then leisurely lean back in my chair and flip through Groselle’s Travels . From time to time, I take a mouthful of the cold beverage, feeling very pleased .
After a while, the girl runs to the back door and shouts, “Daddy, Daddy, I want to sit on the swing . ”
The bookstore owner sighs and walks over with a smile .
I smile and take another sip of my drink . I can’t help but sigh .
An afternoon like this is really nice…
