Chapter 71 Mission Completed
Chapter 71 Mission Completed
The bedside lamp turned on, and the naked redhead yawned, stepping onto the floor.
Selena pressed herself against the edge of the bed, her black leather outfit blending perfectly into the shadows. But this disguise was not foolproof; she would be exposed the moment the other person glanced at her feet.
Fortunately, no, the woman walked out of the room with sleepy eyes, her ankle almost brushing past the catwoman's nose.
Soon after, the sound of running water came from the bathroom.
Taking advantage of this lull, Selena looked around. The bedside lamp was still on. She knew that once the other person adjusted to the light in the bathroom, they would definitely find her when they returned to the bedroom.
The most urgent task is to shift positions as soon as possible.
But just as she slipped to the door, the sound of a toilet flushing echoed down the hallway again.
The dark corridor echoed with the creaking of sweaty feet scraping against the wooden planks. The other person was about to enter the room; rushing out now would only elicit screams.
Selena glanced at the bedside lamp again.
It seems this is the only way.
……
Linda was initially quite happy when she received the order from the diamond district, because most of those pot-bellied rich men didn't have much fighting power.
$1000 for 5 minutes of realistic acting, followed by a shower, and the rest of the night is at her disposal.
Whether it's going to a bar for a drink and touching a young man's abs, taking drugs and having sex, or seeing that long-lost gang boyfriend, it has to be said that although that scumbag is a womanizer, he's really good in bed, and every time he can make Linda indulge in pleasure to the point of ecstasy.
But when Linda entered the bedroom and saw the things laid out on Richard's bed, she realized she had underestimated men.
Later that night, another woman joined them, and the three of them worked until 2:30 a.m.
Linda got up to use the restroom halfway through, and her legs felt like they were trembling.
As I was walking back to my room, the bedside lamp suddenly went out.
Linda vaguely saw a dark figure approaching and became alert.
"Who?"
Her response was a big yawn.
"Go inside and don't turn on the light. Keep your voice down, or you'll wake him up."
"Oh... I'm so sorry!"
The two women exchanged a few words briefly before passing each other.
……
These few words almost gave Selena a heart attack.
Did these two women know each other? Will my voice be recognized?
In that critical moment, she didn't have time to think about anything else.
But Catwoman was lucky; the two women were not acquainted.
Even though she was familiar with her, her deliberately drawn-out yawn was enough to distort her tone, making it impossible for Linda, who was still in a half-dreaming state, to tell the difference.
More importantly, Selena had taken advantage of this time to obtain Richard's fingerprints.
Of course, she didn't forget the last and most crucial step before leaving.
She spent fifteen minutes ransacking the living room safe, taking all the valuables inside, including gold bars, gems, and luxury watches, except for the gold bars.
Of course, Selena wasn't greedy. If she went too far, Richard would only suspect burglary, which was something Qin Wei had specifically instructed her to do beforehand.
"Sweet dreams, my good dog! I hope your owner won't scold you when you wake up tomorrow."
After giving the dog's head a good pat, the catwoman reluctantly climbed out the window.
……
Qin Wei was squatting on the street corner, happily watching the surveillance footage of the Batmobile, when he was suddenly slapped on the back of the head.
"Is this what you meant by 'letting me have some fresh air'?"
Looking up, I saw Selena standing behind me. The girl put one hand on her hip, lifted her mask, and her silver hair danced in the night breeze like a cheerful little elf.
"I know you're angry, but let me explain first!"
Qin Wei cleared his throat.
"Look, you sneaked in without a ladder or rope, so you can't be seen from the outside. If I were to stand outside like a stake, it would only arouse suspicion."
"This is all a wealthy area. If a police car comes patrolling and they catch me and start questioning me, what am I supposed to do then?"
"Your sophistry is reasonable, well-founded, and convincing." Selena narrowed her eyes and slammed a bag of spoils into Qin Wei's arms.
"Then please tell me, sir, since there's no need to keep watch, what's the point of your presence here?"
"Just in case! If you get arrested, I can go to the police station to bail you out immediately."
Selena covered her head and sighed; she simply couldn't argue with this man.
Qin Wei had already opened the package and was inspecting the spoils of war.
The clay with Richard's thumbprint was sealed in a clear acrylic container. In addition, there was a piece of jewelry in the bag.
Qin Wei took out a Rolex gold watch and felt a pang of sadness when he thought of the gold-plated fake watch that Oswald had worn to this day, the one he had used to hit the prison guards.
"Can I have this watch?" he asked the catwoman.
"Dream on! We're partners. I won't ask you for payment, but don't even think about taking my spoils."
"Why don't you check your phone?" Qin Wei snapped his fingers.
Catwoman hesitated before turning on the screen, and was immediately shocked by the text message announcing a $500 million transfer.
She guessed that Qin Wei wanted her account to transfer money, but she didn't expect him to transfer so much at once.
In fact, she still didn't know that Qin Wei had sold the manor. She was still wondering where this man got so much money to hire people and buy weapons.
"Did you rob a bank?"
"Haven't we even started yet?"
"Okay, I have secrets, but honestly, I shouldn't have asked for so much money."
"You deserve it."
Qin Wei remembered Selena's heroic act of risking her life to save him in the sewer.
What's even more commendable is that Catwoman, despite being a thief, resisted the temptation of the 450 million dollar check, didn't pocket it, and instead returned it to Qin Wei, who was on the verge of death.
It should be noted that the two had only reached a verbal alliance at the time, and did not even know each other well.
Without the strong support of this initial ally, Qin Wei would not have survived the pursuit of Maroni's assassins.
He is a sentimental person who remembers the kindness of others. He cherishes every single good deed done for him.
Especially this unconditional trust when you are isolated and helpless.
In a sense, Selena and Oswald are equally important to him.
Selena's reply was unexpected.
"We each get what we need in this partnership, and you don't need to pay any extra money. If you really want that watch, I'll sell it to you at the original price! I might even make tens of thousands of dollars more than if I sold it to a receiver of stolen goods."
Selena's voice was playful with a slightly seductive huskiness, as melodious as ever.
Qin Wei realized this was her true feeling, so he didn't insist: "I respect your choice, but please let me pay for the drinks today."
