Chapter 328: Dangerous Enemy
As Li Yan was walking towards the square, the Chevrolet SUV suddenly rang with a phone call. Li Yan turned around to look and found that there was a cell phone placed on top of the car. Clearly, this was left for him by the other party!
Looking at the phone, he walked back, picked it up, but didn’t answer it. Instead, he examined it carefully. It was a very sleek and beautiful new phone. This might have been left to convey a ssage, or it could be fatal!
If it was modified, it’s very likely that the answer and hang-up buttons had been rigged with remote control bomb detonation switches.
Li Yan wasn’t being overly cautious or timid; he had already labeled this person as a dangerous figure, highly likely an S-Class assassin. In that case, all possibilities couldn’t be overlooked, better safe than sorry!
What he wanted to figure out now was, if this phone really was ant to have him trigger a bomb by pressing a button, where would the bomb be? A more powerful bomb below the car would certainly leave no chance of escape if it exploded just after picking up the phone; and if it was a small bomb inside the phone, putting it to his ear could also be lethal.
This was sothing Li Yan was considering when an unexpected event he hadn’t anticipated happened!
A motorcycle ca speeding up, veering towards him, and passing by. There were two people on it, one riding and the other very quickly and skillfully snatched the phone from Li Yan’s hand!
With Li Yan’s reflexes, how could it be so easy for soone to snatch sothing from him? If he really wanted to make a move, it would be easy for him to pull one person off, or even knock them both off wasn’t too difficult.
However, this ti, he let go of the phone, allowing it to be taken. The motorcycle swiftly sped away more than ten ters while Li Yan quickly made his way to Harmony Square, leaving the car behind.
The person who snatched the phone seed satisfied that Li Yan hadn’t chased after him and directly hung up the still-ringing phone, ready to put it away.
"Boom——!"
The scene Li Yan had anticipated—or rather, estimated—appeared! There was a fierce and abrupt roar as the person holding the phone and the two on the motorcycle beca victims of the exploding phone! Without anyone controlling it, the motorcycle where the shock had occurred swayed left and right, then quickly fell over, carrying the two dead people tumbling out. The bike slid several ters after flipping and the two rolled a few tis before falling silent.
Soon after, an even louder explosion echoed through!
Where Li Yan had just retrieved the phone from, the Chevrolet SUV exploded as well!
Having already reached the square and mixed in with the crowd, Li Yan watched the motorcycle and its riders as they fell, and then at this unexpected scene, he was montarily speechless.
He had been estimating whether the bomb was inside the phone or rely controlled by it, actually located under the car. When soone else snatched the phone, he quickly made his escape, otherwise, he would have been caught in the car explosion. He hadn’t expected the phone to explode, and before he could feel relieved, the car also exploded.
That was preparing for both scenarios, but man’s efforts can’t overco fate!
But now was no ti for jokes. The person targeting him and devising such an explosive sche was clearly dangerous and hostile, and must be eliminated!
Thus, while others were running over to see what had happened, Li Yan mixed with the crowd, using his instincts to search for the enemy hidden in the square.
...
As Li Yan was heading towards the square, a car followed from afar, keeping a distance before coming to a halt. The explosive scene that nearly killed Li Yan, apart from the two unlucky ones who snatched the phone, was likely seen most clearly by this person in the car!
And because the tracking distance was relatively far and Li Yan’s focus was on following the person ahead, the lurking third party was completely overlooked!
...
It was now evening, and Harmony Square was bustling with people. There were vendors, cold drink and snack stalls, elderly folks playing with children, hurried white-collar ladies just off work, and groups of young people skating and skateboarding...
Initially, it was a vibrant and harmonious scene, but a sudden explosion alard everyone, causing them to pause and look around, trying to figure out where the explosion ca from and whether it would affect them. But before they could react, another even louder explosion occurred, and in an instant, elderly folks picked up their children, pedestrians hurried in panic, and young people grew excited and thrilled...
In front!
Right in front!
Li Yan’s senses beca clearer at this mont, not just a vague uneasiness but a clear and intense feeling of murderous intent in front of him!
The crowd in the square didn’t suddenly disperse or entirely move to one side. Many people remained curious, and many were afraid. For instance, the elders with children couldn’t easily join the commotion and instead led them away to the other side.
Walking among the sowhat chaotic crowd for a while, Li Yan had basically reached the center of the square. At this mont, the surrounding crowd had also thinned out. Those who were there to watch the commotion had already surged to one side, while those leaving had dispersed in different directions. Directly in front of him stood a man with long hair and sunglasses, who was waving at him.
Li Yan slowed his steps a bit. He could confirm that this was the person he had been tracking. The intense killing intent was emanating from him.
Twenty ters...
Eighteen ters...
Fifteen ters...
Twelve ters...
As he got closer step by step, when he was about ten ters away from the man, Li Yan stopped.
"You must be wondering, I ca prepared, even with a bomb, so why haven’t I drawn my gun?" the long-haired man with sunglasses spoke up. "But you’re not afraid, so you dared to walk over. Yet, you think I won’t let you get too close. Once you cross the safe distance, I’ll draw my gun, so you stopped naturally."
"If I were you, I wouldn’t waste so much breath!"
Li Yan said coldly and then unabashedly reached into his pocket, pulled out a cigarette, and lit it.
"I must say, in such circumstances, that action is very risky. Aren’t you afraid I’ll think you’re pulling out a weapon and shoot you?" The long-haired man seed to appreciate Li Yan’s boldness, speaking as he slowly walked forward, reducing the distance between them to seven or eight ters.
Seven ters, still a safe distance. Even if you’re agile and have quick reflexes, you can’t rush over and take soone down before they draw and aim their gun, especially since your opponent is not weak.
"Haha, you might think I’m wasting breath again. Indeed, I seem to be more talkative than usual. However..." The long-haired man was unconcerned, continuing to speak to the silently smoking Li Yan, "...to speak face-to-face with the legendary King, I think any assassin wouldn’t mind saying a few more words, would they? It’s a privilege for a nobody like ."
King!
Here, having witnessed the explosion and sensed the killing aura, Li Yan was already certain the opponent was also an S-Class assassin. Now that King was ntioned, it confird this point further.
What surprised him a bit was that this was definitely an assassin above A-Class, even S-Class, and yet he was Yun Country People? How co he hadn’t heard anything?
But then again, he’s famous for the code na "King," and not many people know his real face.
Besides, the distance is now seven ters, but the person’s dense long hair, possibly a wig, plus sunglasses, basically covered most of his face, making it hard to see clearly. He could also be a foreigner who speaks very standard Yun Country language.
"You found and lured here, which shows you’re not a nobody. We are standing face to face here; today, one of us will fall! Tell , who is this guy who’s co to witness my free show and seek death?" Li Yan exhaled a ring of smoke, speaking arrogantly.
The man clapped a few tis, applauding, "King is truly King! You have the imposing presence of the King of Assassins! But to gain King’s approval, even if I’ve co to die, it wouldn’t be in vain."
Li Yan’s evaluation of this person was still acceptable. Whether it was his previous setup or his current calm and humble deanor, it all indicated that this was a person with strong professional qualities. Among "them," a few at Fist Level, the action-oriented Feng Wuqing, Shi Jian’en, Liu Xi, Coach Yan Ping, Qi Zhongtao, might not be able to do better.
And his arrogance is not entirely to provoke the opponent; he truly possesses the strength. The long-haired man must be carrying a handgun, perhaps even grenades or more lethal weapons like a submachine gun. But for him, that’s not a problem!
Of course, Li Yan also knew what his weaknesses were — this was an open square, and snipers lurking from afar or high-altitude positions were the enemies he found hardest to overco!
Perhaps the man’s applause was a signal. At this mont, he imdiately had the feeling of being locked on by a sniper rifle!
Many people have had similar experiences, noticing when soone is staring at them or being noticed when they are staring at soone. This is the sensitivity of human feeling, or, you might say, the focus of attention conveys information or power. But ordinarily, it requires seeing or being near enough to feel it; if behind a door or from far away or through binoculars, it would be unnoticeable.
Li Yan is not an ordinary person; being locked on by a sniper rifle is not the usual observation or attention. It’s a real crisis. And since he had already suspected that the opponent would set up in this way, he had no doubt he was now being used as a target.
"Do you think wearing a disguise ans I won’t recognize you?" Li Yan suddenly laughed.
"Hmm?" The long-haired man with sunglasses clearly didn’t understand the joke about calling soone a turtle.
"You’re the notorious ’Tear’... Want to make a na for yourself by killing ? Too bad, I’ll make sure you and your sniper partner both stay here!" (To be continued. Please log on to qidian for the next Chapters and support the author, buy genuine reading!)
