"Liu Yilin, weren't you very arrogant? Let's see if you're still arrogant now. Now that you've fallen into my hands, I'll make sure you taste my methods!" Wang Yulang said triumphantly.
Liu Yilin said nothing, only looking at him with disdain, which ignited a fire in Wang Yulang's heart. Victory or defeat, why did this woman look down on him? The more Wang Yulang thought about it, the angrier he became. He raised his hand and slapped Liu Yilin's face, determined to make her kneel at his feet today.
Liu Yilin, with a look of facing death bravely, watched Wang Yulang's hand come towards her with cold eyes. With a "slap," a red handprint appeared on Liu Yilin's face, and a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth. The more Liu Yilin refused to yield, the angrier Wang Yulang became, feeling a sense of powerlessness and frustration.
"Arrogant woman, today I'll show you my power." Wang Yulang reached out to grab Liu Yilin, intending to deal with her on the spot. After all, with his master present, no one could stop him.
However, just as he reached out to tear at Liu Yilin's clothes, a high-speed spinning bullet flew towards Wang Yulang's head from outside the window. On the opposite skyscraper of Tianmei Technology Group Building, a young man held a sniper rifle, and it was he who had fired the bullet. Ning Beichen had arranged for people to protect Liu Yilin, and he wouldn't have just one person. This sniper was the second person Ning Beichen had assigned to protect Liu Yilin. His mission was to ensure Liu Yilin's safety in the office.
"Audacious!" Just as Wang Yulang's head was about to be blown open, his master let out a furious roar and, with a grab in mid-air, caught the bullet in his hand. The person on the opposite building, observing through the scope, showed an expression of disbelief. He knew that he wasn't using an ordinary bullet, but an enhanced one designed to deal with martial artists. The power of this bullet was no less than that of an armor-piercing round, and its main purpose was to penetrate a martial artist's protective aura. Once hit by such a bullet, a martial artist would generally be injured or killed.
"Not good, Miss Liu is in danger!" The person on the opposite side immediately came to this conclusion and hurriedly aimed his sniper rifle at Wang Yulang's master, firing without expecting to kill or injure him, but mainly to prevent him from harming Liu Yilin.
"Miss Liu, hurry and go." At this moment, the person on the opposite side notified his companion in the office via an earpiece, urging the companion to tell Liu Yilin to leave quickly.
Seizing the opportunity, Liu Yilin bolted towards the exit. Although Wang Yulang was close at hand and Liu Yilin wished she could kill him, her cultivation had been sealed by Wang Yulang's master. She was now just an ordinary girl and no match for Wang Yulang if she tried to fight.
Liu Yilin's sudden escape caught Wang Yulang off guard. More importantly, he was somewhat fearful of the person sniping from outside, so his attention wasn't entirely on Liu Yilin. By the time he reacted and tried to grab Liu Yilin, she had already escaped to the office door. The news of the attack on the company quickly reached Shi Yong, who immediately led his men to the rescue. Thus, by the time Liu Yilin escaped the office door, Wang Yulang and his master had lost the chance to control her. Moreover, there was someone sniping at them from the window, and although the bullets couldn't harm Wang Yulang's master, they could harm his disciple, Wang Yulang. The sniper on the opposite building also realized this and switched targets to Wang Yulang, forcing Wang Yulang's master to rescue him. With this distraction, Liu Yilin had successfully escaped.
Soon, Shi Yong and his team arrived and began to seal off the building's entrances and exits. However, they ultimately failed to capture anyone. Wang Yulang and his master somehow managed to evade Shi Yong's search and left the building.
"President Liu, do you know who they are?" Shi Yong was somewhat dejected at not catching them and was taking Liu Yilin's statement.
"I only know one of them is named Wang Yulang, and the other old man is his master..." Liu Yilin recounted what she knew, including how she had clashed with Wang Yulang in the first place. Shi Yong was speechless after listening. To put it bluntly, this matter had nothing to do with Liu Yilin; she was merely caught in a disaster not of her making. However, some things are difficult to define by right or wrong. After all, sometimes a girl being too beautiful is itself a sin.
After hearing Liu Yilin's account, Wang Yulang truly deserved to die. If you like someone, like them! But you have to resort to force, and after failing, you bring your master back for revenge. What kind of person is that! Truly lacking in character.
"President Liu, do you require twenty-four-hour personal protection?" Shi Yong asked Liu Yilin.
"No need, someone will protect me." Liu Yilin replied.
"Alright then, if anything happens, remember to call me immediately." Shi Yong didn't insist. After all, Shi Yong wasn't her personal bodyguard. Since she said it wasn't necessary, it was equivalent to not reporting a crime, and they naturally wouldn't waste resources.
After finishing the statement, Liu Yilin returned home. For some reason, she still couldn't use her internal energy, which worried her the most. If only Ning Beichen were here! Liu Yilin sighed, kicked off her high heels, and slumped onto the sofa. Wang Yulang had failed this time, but she didn't know if he would come back. Even with Ning Beichen's assigned people protecting her in the shadows, Liu Yilin still felt uneasy. However, there was nothing she could do about her worries. She could only find a place to hide, but after thinking about it, she couldn't think of any place that could provide her with secure protection. If there was no safe place, leaving would be even more dangerous. At least in her own home, she had people protecting her in secret.
"Ning Beichen, where exactly have you gone?" Liu Yilin murmured to herself, curled up on the sofa.
"Boss, you were looking for me?" Just then, a familiar figure emerged from the kitchen, holding steaming hot food.
"Master, I've found the woman's residence." Wang Yulang said to his master, his teeth clenched with unwillingness.
"Then go and capture her. This time, I'll make sure she can't escape no matter what!" Wang Yulang's master said, equally enraged. He, a grandmaster, had failed to capture a mere young girl. This was a loss of face for him.
"Don't worry, Master, we won't fail this time!" Wang Yulang said with a grim expression.
