Chapter 985: 985
Chapter 985: Red
The woman in the red skirt retracted her gaze and looked at Zhang Heng. “Have you found the person you were looking for?”
Zhang Heng did not answer, asking instead, “What about you? Have you met the person you’ve been waiting for?”
In the end, it was the red skirt woman who surrendered first. She gave up going around in circles and went straight to the point.
“So you are the courier?”
Zhang Heng nodded.
“Are you the one supposed to trade with me?”
“Yes. You can call me Red,” replied the woman in the red skirt. Afterward, she seemed to know what Zhang Heng was thinking. So, she added, “I am not a seller. Just like you, I’m just a courier.”
“Simon.” Zhang Heng stretched out his hand and shook Red’s hand. Red wasted no time and cut to the chase.
“Did you bring the payment, Simon?”
“I brought it, but I don’t see you carrying anything,” Zhang Heng said.
“Don’t worry. The thing is not on me right now. You know Shengtang Morgan is trying to intercept this transaction, and I have to be more cautious,” Red said. “Hand me the payment first. After I check on it, I will bring you to get the item you want.”
However, after she finished talking, she realized that Zhang Heng wasn’t budging.
“This is not what we agreed on.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“I was told before I set off that I should pay and receive the goods at the same time,” Zhang Heng said.
“Don’t be silly, Simon. The content of the transaction has already been negotiated. We are just couriers. Don’t make a fool of yourself. Hand me the 1 gram of antimatter, and I will take you to get the goods. After that, we can call it a day and go home. We can all complete our own work.”

“I don’t know your trading style, but we, couriers, should stick by the agreement. Only by doing that, will we be able to proceed smoothly.”
Zhang Heng remained unmoved.
Since Red could do nothing about Zhang Heng’s stand, she took a deep breath and finally gave in. “Well, I respect your professional ethics. Let’s go to the place where the goods are. Once we get there, I will check the antimatter. Are you happy with that?”
“Yes.”
“Very well. Let’s not wait any longer,” Red said as she stood up from her seat. Zhang Heng, who was sitting opposite of her, however, reminded her about something.
“You forget one thing.”
Red was surprised.
“What thing?” she asked.
“Let me see the tattoo on your lower abdomen.”
“Really? Here?”
Red raised her eyebrows.
“You got a problem with that?”
“Of course. Can’t you see that I’m wearing a dress?” Red snapped coldly.
“Oh, if you find it inconvenient, we can go to the toilet together.”
“Even if I have no problem with it, aren’t you worried your girlfriend will get jealous of us?” Red then looked at Feng Zi.

Having already won the drinking game, the latter left the office worker in only his underwear. However, when she turned her head and looked at Zhang Heng, the joy of winning suddenly disappeared. She looked disappointed. While she was putting on her socks, she looked at Red with a hostile stare. It seemed like she was going to question her after she put her clothes on.
“She is not my girlfriend.” Zhang Heng said, “Besides, my relationships are not your concern.”
Red seemed to be caught in a dilemma. Finally, after a long while, she gritted her teeth and pulled down the zipper on her back, and pulled the dress to his waist, exposing the Apollo tattoo on her lower abdomen.

“Are you happy now?” she growled, her tone icy.
Her bold move had garnered the whistles and wolf calls of many men. No one in the bar expected how exciting things would get tonight. Earlier, Feng Zi had just allowed the men to feast their eyes on her body. And now, they received another big gift.
As the pioneer for showing the men a good time, Feng Zi was irritated when she saw what Red did. She thought Red was taunting her. Unbothered about her undone shoelaces, she rushed over to Red with long strides.
However, Zhang Heng, who was in the center of the conflict, appeared calm. He stared at the Red’s tattoo for two seconds and said, “Okay, I’ve finished reading it. It seems like the zero emergency response team is no threat to me.”
“What did you just say?” Red’s pupils shrank suddenly.
“I heard that you are all elites selected from tens of thousands of clones. Their body proportions are supposed to be perfect. And they are not supposed to have extra fat on them.”
“Just because of my great figure, and you suspect that I am from the emergency response team?” Red sneered.
“Of course not. I noticed you a long time ago. You sat at one of the few spots in the bar that’s out of sight of the snipers. I know that you have a lot of counter-sniper experience in your memory. So choosing this spot upon entering the bar has become your instinctive reaction.”
Red’s face changed slightly upon Zhang Heng’s deduction, never expecting her excellent instincts for risk aversion would actually expose her identity.
Zhang Heng continued, “You have been keeping an eye on me for some time, right? YOu might’ve thought you were stealthy, but I still noticed you observing me. I actually tripped the bartender earlier to see your reaction. No doubt, you’ve noticed it too. However, you didn’t mention it once I sat opposite you. Is it because you didn’t want me to find out about your outstanding observation ability? At the same time, you put on an act that you were annoyed by me so I’d underestimate you, right?”
“You have a wonderful imagination; I can’t help but applaud you.”
Red regained her calm after a brief gaffe.
“Unfortunately, the tattoo on my lower abdomen proves that you are delusional. ”
“Are you serious about that tattoo?” Zhang Heng asked rhetorically, “You really think I can’t tell whether your tattoo has been pierced or is simply a temporary print?”
Red’s look finally changed this time. She then pulled out a pocket pistol from her inner thigh at an incredible speed and aimed at Zhang Heng’s chest. The entire series of moves was done in one go. At this time, the bar’s patrons were still applauding her unrestrained behavior. Only a few realized that soon, there would be bloodshed.
Unfortunately for Red, her opponent was not an ordinary person. Just as she drew her gun, Zhang Heng had also moved and grabbed a knife on the table. As Red was raising her gun to aim at him, she saw a flash of light. Before she could pull the trigger, Zhang Heng had pinned her hand to the table with the knife.
Red growled while enduring the red-hot pain pulsating in her hand. But the next moment, a fierce look flashed across her eyes. She pulled up the knife and slashed at Zhang Heng’s throat with it.
“It’s unwise, using a knife to fight me!” Zhang Heng jerked to the side, escaping the lethal strike. His body landed at the seat next to him. Immediately, he grabbed a steak knife from the table.
