"Want to continue?" Guo Guo, unusually, made Xiao Lin squint his eyes.
"Continue."
"Ah San fell for Xiao i, and he asked more than once to put in a good word for him, but I always refused. A woman like Xiao i would only hurt Ah San; there's no way she'd have genuine feelings for an idiot, right!" Guo Guo unwrapped a lollipop and put it in her mouth.
"I don't know what thod Ah San used to pursue Xiao i, but during that ti, Ah San was very happy, and I didn't see that black car co around again. Honestly, seeing them made a bit touched; Xiao i was also very nice to Ah San, she bought many things and tidied up for him. During that period, the business Xiao i brought in was also increasing, as if she was desperately saving money."
"On the night of Ah San's incident, did you notice anything unusual about Xiao i?"
Guo Guo shook her head. "Before that, I heard so guests chatting, ntioning soone causing a scene at the hotel with Xiao i. Apparently, so rich lady discovered it and caused trouble. This happens often, so we just get used to it."
"That night, Ah San did co to ask for a rope. He said that after tonight, he could go live downtown with Xiao i. I didn't know why he needed a rope, but..." Guo Guo shivered involuntarily, recalling the panic Xiao Lin had seen in her eyes before.
"What did you see that night?" Xiao Lin grasped Guo Guo's hand; this was critically related to her lying. "If you don't speak up now, no one can help you."
Guo Guo looked up blankly, eting his dark gaze. "Ah San was acting weird. I locked the door and followed him to an alley. Xiao i was standing in front of a motel, as if waiting for soone. Ah San hid, and I... I..." Guo Guo trembled more violently. Xiao Lin held her hand, his cold fingers indicating her fear.
"Did you see soone kill Xiao i?"
Guo Guo was about to nod when a strong wind enveloped her head. Unaware, she sat foolishly on her seat while Xiao Lin leapt from his chair onto the table.
"How..." Before Guo Guo could scream, Xiao Lin had already caught the falling concealed weapon with his bare hand. "Shou, Yi go chase, Zimu and Zilin stay to protect Guo Guo and Hong." Xiao Lin ordered harshly, noting the poison on the weapon in his hand.
"Doctor, your hand." Having experienced sothing similar once, Guo Guo appeared much more composed.
The hand holding the weapon was turning entirely black. Guo Guo recalled that when she barely touched it before, her fingers had turned black. She rushed to the kitchen to pick up a knife. "Shou said you have to bleed it out, let the black blood flow."
"No need!" Xiao Lin stood coldly on the table. Shou and Yi had already chased through the window above. Zilin and Zimu stood alert on either side of Hong. "The four of you, go to the monitoring room. Do not co out without my order."
"Boss!" Zilin protested. "Zimu alone can watch them."
"No argunts allowed." Xiao Lin vanished before Guo Guo's eyes, his speed shocking. Before she could react, Zimu had already lifted her up.
"Hey, put down." Guo Guo kicked Zimu, but he felt like a rock, hurting her foot.
"If you scream again, I'll knock you out," Zimu threatened Guo Guo, his expression stern and voice cold, leaving no hint of deception.
The monitoring room was often used to confine people, equipped with sensitive sensory devices all around. Once soone breaks in, the lights flash and alarms blare.
"Zilin! Where are you going?" Zimu stopped Zilin as he attempted to leave.
"The boss is out there alone."
"The boss already said no objections. What happens if you go out?" Zimu reminded Zilin, knowing Xiao Lin's anger could be terrifying.
"Zilin, Zimu here alone isn't enough." Hong, still a bit weak, leaned against the side, his thick clothes covering him. He pointed to the woman beside him, clueless about the situation. Alone, Zimu might fail if the opponent strikes.
"Understood!" Zilin returned to their side, exchanged a glance, then fell silent.
After the incident occurred, Zimu had already cut off the power supply to the Show Car Shop. This ant the doors wouldn't open, and only the area they occupied ran on a separate generator. If this place also lost power, it ant the enemy had breached their center.
Xiao Lin, groping in the dark, knew the concealed weapon shot from above Guo Guo's head, but he felt the killing intent nearby, not from above, which ant soone was around them.
Consort Ling has an Invisibility Cloak, so she can go unnoticed. Does this person have the sa device? If so, it ans they are from 'Black Crow'.
Xiao Lin held the dagger in a reverse grip as he leaned against the wall. Fortunately, the Zimu brothers both have a fear of clutter, so there weren't many pieces of furniture in the room, preventing him from making any noise if he bumped into sothing.
The car shop, with its power cut off, was very quiet. Without a temperature control system, there was a bit of a chill due to the cold equipnt emitting an eerie air. Xiao Lin held his breath and listened closely for any faint sounds within the ambient noise.
If the Invisibility Cloak can block sight, it cannot hide breathing. The opponent is a master; he could sense it, the presence was so confident it led to negligence.
To the left! In front! There's more than one person here.
Xiao Lin's face turned cold, and killing intent suddenly arose. His body swiftly shifted to the right, moving with incredible speed. In the next second, he charged forward, flipping his hand to grab at his left side, executing a fluid move, a large capture hand with countless variations of smaller captures mixed in.
The shadowy figure in the darkness was montarily stunned, perhaps not expecting the opponent to detect their position and strike with a capture move imdiately. The arm was grabbed by Xiao Lin, and despite the Invisibility Cloak's concealnt, Xiao Lin followed the forward montum and threw the figure out, simultaneously tearing off the cloak.
Eh? After throwing the figure, the presence from ahead had vanished, disappearing eerily, without a trace.
Woof woof woof! A previously ignored dog suddenly erged, followed by sothing like a fla appearing in front of Xiao Lin.
"Stay out of the way, your help isn't needed here." Xiao Lin knew exactly who this person was, a gleam flashing in his eyes, as he raised his eyebrows involuntarily.
"Hehehe! I didn't plan to help." Fla Swallow suddenly appeared in the car shop, reminding Xiao Lin that the security asures here were too lax.
The person whose Invisibility Cloak was torn off appeared before Xiao Lin. In fact, Fla Swallow's appearance brought a bit of light to the darkness.
Golden hair was gathered high at the back of the head, a shapely chest rising prominently before Xiao Lin. He did not expect the opponent to be a woman, but she was definitely not the one using hidden weapons, because the woman held a gun.
The black hole of the gun barrel pointed at Xiao Lin's head, the woman was tall and her defined features marked her lineage; the ticulousness of Europeans was unlike the casualness of Aricans, so Xiao Lin was certain that she wouldn't fire easily without assurance. From observing her gun, the bullets seed limited, or perhaps she didn't plan to use them all right away, a confidence that was comndable.
"She's using a gun, you're using a knife, I'm betting on the woman's odds of winning." Fla Swallow sidestepped with his dog, moving to another position, no one quite saw how he moved, but he had already brought so space between Xiao Lin and the beautiful woman.
Xiao Lin did not appreciate his deliberate intervention, even finding it a bit ddleso, but the woman did not think so. She turned and kicked towards Fla Swallow behind her, her cold eyes fixed on him while the gun barrel remained pointed at Xiao Lin.
"Unnecessary!" Xiao Lin snorted coldly, jumped in place, kicking at the woman, not targeting the gun in her hand, but her shoulder instead.
The woman's reflexes were fast, stepping back to stabilize her stance, she swiftly drew back her hand to defend her face, then raised her hand to block Xiao Lin's attack.
Without the anticipated retreat, Xiao Lin quickly returned to his original position, launching another attack in the sa manner. This ti, the woman didn't use her hands to defend; as Xiao Lin leaped up, she fired a bullet at his lower body.
Fla Swallow widened his eyes, curious about how Xiao Lin would dodge the bullet without a foothold in midair, how he would change his posture.
The crisp sound of a bullet being fired was clear as a bell, Xiao Lin knew that the bullet aid at his lower body was ant to cut off his escape route, leaving him no way to retreat. In a critical mont, Xiao Lin shifted his grip on the dagger to a standard hold; instead of dodging, he swung towards the bullet's trajectory.
Clang clang, the sound of tal clashing erupted in the air with dazzling sparks, Xiao Lin was knocked back a step mid-air by the impact, but the bullet, split in two, fell to the ground.
Fla Swallow's mouth was agape; he actually used this thod to fend off the attack, looking at Xiao Lin, and he believed that those elite assassins from 'Black Crow' paled in comparison.
The green pupils contracted, a skill that split her bullet; she realized she wouldn't stand a chance against him.
"Have your partner show themselves! You're not my match." Xiao Lin, after succeeding with a single strike, did not launch a third attack; usually, he wouldn't try more than three moves on an opponent.
Obviously, the woman's pride was provoked, she let out a sharp cry and charged at Xiao Lin. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian) to cast your votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
