Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 438 The Predator Trapping Plan (37)

For the past ten years, the original owner and Xu Xingzhan relied on each other for survival in N613. Although life was difficult, they were never short of food.

At this point, only a year had passed since Xu Xingzhan absconded with the money and abandoned the original owner of the body. He had become very different from the person Jiang Ti remembered.

The young man, who used to be optimistic and full of wonderful fantasies about the future, is now so thin that his cheeks are sunken, he walks unsteadily, his hair looks like it hasn't been cut in a long time, and his bangs are so long that they cover his eyes.

The clothes on my body were relatively clean, but faded from washing, and the shoes on my feet were also badly worn.

Xu Xingzhan exuded a sense of frustration and dejection from the inside out.

Yan Zhen observed Xu Xingzhan as he approached from a distance without making a sound.

Xu Xingzhan seemed to be used to the homeless people lying downstairs all year round. He didn't even glance at Yan Zhen, but stretched out his thin, chicken-claw-like hand, opened the stairwell door, and went inside.

Yan Zhen immediately got up and followed.

Xu Xingzhan seemed very tired; his steps upstairs were heavy and dragging.

Moreover, he seemed to be immersed in his own emotions, and Yan Zhen kept a distance of one floor, following him up to the seventh floor without him noticing.

Upon reaching the seventh floor, Xu Xingzhan stayed in the last room in the hallway.

As he took out his key to open the door, Yan Zhen quickened her pace to follow. Just as Xu Xingzhan entered and was about to close the door, she swiftly braced herself against the door, pushed it open halfway, and squeezed inside.

Xu Xingzhan was startled. He glanced at her and said impatiently, "Get out. I don't need special services."

Yan Zhen closed the door behind him and pulled down his hood.

Xu Xingzhan finally saw her face clearly, and his pupils trembled slightly.

"Jiang... Jiang Ti?"

Perhaps sensing the unfriendly aura emanating from Yan Zhen, Xu Xingzhan subconsciously took two steps back.

Realizing his reaction was somewhat embarrassing, he quickly composed himself and asked warily, "What are you doing here?"

"I came here specifically to see you." Yan Zhen said with a half-smile, "Aren't you happy that I'm still alive?"

Xu Xingzhan: "..."

He guiltily looked away, quickly wiping the tip of his nose with his fingers: "Glad... but how did you get out of N613?"

“Thanks to you, I hooked up with a rich man in the red-light district, and he helped me escape.” Yan Zhen walked past Xu Xingzhan and began to look around the room, which was less than ten square meters.

A bed, a table, a chair, and a few pieces of luggage at the foot of the bed gave Yan Zhen a sense of déjà vu, reminiscent of the cramped living conditions of ordinary working people in big cities many years ago.

It seems that even though A001 is hailed as the most abundant and technologically advanced planet, incompetent and mediocre people still have a hard time living there.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xingzhan frowned slightly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

After Yan Zhen finished looking around the room, she turned around and caught a glimpse of his disdain.

She scoffed softly, sat down on the only chair in the room, and crossed her legs: "And you, what are you doing right now?"

Upon hearing that Yan Zhen was "marrying a rich man," Xu Xingzhan seemed to categorize her and himself as equally incompetent and lowly people, which lessened his guard and tension, and his tone became more casual.

"I found a job nearby."

Yan Zhen casually picked up the lighter on the table and flicked it a few times: "Do you earn a lot?"

"Enough for a meal."

Yan Zhen put the lighter back in its place, stood up and said, "I see."

Xu Xingzhan frowned: "Why are you asking these questions?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to see if you were doing well," Yan Zhen said. "Knowing that you weren't doing well, I felt relieved."

"You..." Xu Xingzhan was a little annoyed. "I admit that it was wrong to leave you behind, but you're out here now too. We're both people who have left our hometowns. Is it necessary to be sarcastic and cynical towards me? How much more noble are you than me, even though you're a sugar daddy?"

Yan Zhen wasn't annoyed. He asked calmly, "According to your thinking, after you took all my money, left me on a garbage planet that could disintegrate at any moment, and sold me to a red-light district to be humiliated, how should I speak to you after a year apart?"

Xu Xingzhan: "...You're out now, aren't you?"

"Just because I'm out of here, does that mean I should forgive and forget about the past?"

Xu Xingzhan gritted his teeth: "What do you want?"

"What do I want?" Yan Zhen sneered. "Now that things have come to this, you haven't even apologized to me, and you're asking me what I want?"

Xu Xingzhan was silent for a moment, then said, "If you were in my position, forced into a situation where only one of us could survive, you would make the same choice. I don't think I made a mistake. Besides, we're both alive now. If I hadn't sent you to the red-light district, you wouldn't have had a chance to escape..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yan Zhen suddenly pulled out a gun from his pocket and shot him in the neck.

With a soft "whoosh," the pistol unleashed a power completely opposite to the sound, instantly tearing a gruesome wound into Xu Xingzhan's neck.

He was so shocked that he staggered back two steps and fell to the ground.

A large amount of warm blood gushed out like a fountain, quickly soaking his coat.

Xu Xingzhan raised his hand and touched his neck before realizing what had happened. He realized that the person in front of him was there to kill him, and given the amount of blood bleeding from the wound on his neck, he would die in less than five minutes.

After the initial shock, Xu Xingzhan immediately clutched the wound on his neck, trying to beg Yan Zhen for mercy.

But when he opened his mouth, he found he couldn't speak.

Blood kept seeping from between his fingers and onto the floor.

The disdain in his eyes vanished completely, leaving only immense panic and deep fear.

Xu Xingzhan covered his wound with one hand, crawled to Yan Zhen's side, and reached out with the other hand to grab her trouser leg for help.

As soon as he made that move, Yan Zhen stepped back as if he were worried about getting his clothes dirty.

Xu Xingzhan: "..."

He stared intently at Yan Zhen, shaking his head desperately, but he couldn't utter a word.

Yan Zhen refused to help, so Xu Xingzhan could only struggle to get up and try to go downstairs.

But just as his hand touched the doorknob, Yan Zhen fired three bullets into the door, startling him so much that he stumbled backward.

Within a minute, the massive blood loss left Xu Xingzhan breathless and pale. He collapsed to the ground, leaning against the door, as if all his strength had been drained.

Yan Zhen coldly watched him struggle, watching the life force in his body gradually dissipate, the resentment and hatred in his eyes growing stronger until his eyes widened, turning him into a corpse with bulging eyeballs and an unclosed gaze.

At the same time, a warm sensation came from my wrist, signaling the completion of the task.

Yan Zhen put away his gun, glanced at the messy room, and began to clean up.

She took off the clothes from Xu Xingzhan's body and stuffed them into her bag, then dressed him in the clothes that the female homeless woman had taken from the dead homeless man during the day.

They messed up his hair and smeared a layer of ash off the wall on his face. After this disguise, Xu Xingzhan looked no different from a homeless person on the street.

After doing all this, Yan Zhen cleaned up the blood on the ground and threw Xu Xingzhan's few belongings and body out the window, landing them right on the garbage heap.
