"Puchi..."
"Your eyes are the ones that kill and set fires!"
Liu Yilin couldn't help but let out a chuckle.
She had thought this guy was going to say something important, but he came out with this. While it wasn't much, it still made her heart feel sweet.
"Do you mean I'm not pretty usually?"
Liu Yilin gave him a flirtatious glare and said.
Women were like that, even when they felt sweet inside, they still had to argue a bit verbally to feel comfortable.
Ning Beichen, however, wasn't focused on talking to her. He was just looking for an excuse to confuse these assassins.
"I didn't mean that, boss. You're always so beauti...ful."
As the word "beauti" left his lips, Ning Beichen had already made his move.
By the time "ful" was spoken,
his thumbs had jabbed into the neck of the middle-aged man who looked like he was returning from grocery shopping.
The middle-aged man instantly convulsed and fell to the ground. Ning Beichen's other hand flicked a finger towards the assassin disguised as a student on the left.
An invisible finger qi instantly detached from Ning Beichen's finger and struck a vital acupoint on the assassin.
The assassin only had time to open his hand holding the bubble tea. A small, exquisite dagger was hidden in his palm, using the bubble tea cup as a cover.
But he had no chance to make a move. His throat moved a few times. He saw bloodshot lines suddenly appear in his eyeballs. Without a single groan, he fell to the ground.
The two assassins behind him didn't even get a chance to act.
As Ning Beichen made his move, two fine needles flew from who knew where, instantly piercing their bodies. A potent sedative made them lose consciousness in less than a second.
"Ning Beichen, what are you doing?"
Because Ning Beichen's movements were so fast, Liu Yilin didn't even have time to react. By the time she cried out, these four assassins had all tumbled into the pot like dumplings.
If this wasn't a bustling street, Ning Beichen would probably be preparing to serve them in a bowl with vinegar.
"Boss, don't panic, they are assassins."
Ning Beichen kicked away the hand of the guy holding the bubble tea, revealing the dagger hidden inside, and explained to Liu Yilin.
Only then did Liu Yilin realize that this person was an assassin. If Ning Beichen hadn't stopped him in time, she would likely have already died at his hands.
Instantly, Liu Yilin's previous enjoyment was shattered.
What started as a happy evening was once again ruined by assassins.
This time, she couldn't even be bothered to complain. When a person is targeted for assassination too many times, they become numb. She knew that complaining would yield no results.
However, sometimes, when Liu Yilin thought about it, she found it strange. She wondered if Ning Beichen had known in advance that she would be targeted and had specifically come to protect her,
or if the attacks only began after he appeared?
After all, before Ning Beichen came into her life, her life had been very peaceful, and such incidents had never happened.
"Boss, I don't know if there are any more assassins. I'll protect you and get you out of here."
After dealing with these assassins, Ning Beichen walked to Liu Yilin's side and whispered to her.
Liu Yilin nodded. Led by Ning Beichen, she walked forward quickly. However, due to the large crowd and the seven-centimeter high heels she was wearing, she couldn't walk very fast.
Ning Beichen didn't rush her. In a crowd, speed wasn't always the key to safety. The crucial thing was to identify the assassins and stop them in advance.
However, to help Liu Yilin walk a little faster, he took her hand and grabbed a handful of metal skewers from a roadside barbecue stall.
At this moment.
A man in the crowd suddenly pulled out a knife and lunged towards Liu Yilin in front of him.
But Ning Beichen's skewers were faster than his knife. Before he could stab Liu Yilin, a skewer from Ning Beichen's hand pierced his left eye socket and emerged from the back of his head.
The man let out a muffled scream, but he still seemed fearless, trying to continue his assassination attempt on Liu Yilin.
But Ning Beichen wouldn't give him that chance. Another skewer, used for barbecuing, was thrust into his right temple, and then half of it protruded from the other temple.
Blood spurted out like a fountain, terrifying the passersby.
Some were so scared their legs went weak, some scrambled backwards in panic, and others stood frozen, screaming loudly.
Ning Beichen ignored them all, dragging Liu Yilin forward. He wasn't worried about any serious consequences, because he knew Shi Yong and his men would clean up the mess afterwards and handle things properly, minimizing the impact on society.
The identities of these assassins would be easy to verify, as they were carrying weapons. Once Shi Yong and his men arrived and saw, they would understand. It was just that afterwards, Liu Yilin would likely be questioned by Shi Yong and the others again.
With a flash of silver light.
The last skewer in Ning Beichen's hand pierced the head of a female assassin. However, when dealing with these assassins, he generally kept his back to Liu Yilin, preventing her from witnessing the bloody scenes.
When Ning Beichen had used up his last skewer, there were already six more assassin corpses on the ground.
However, his clothes were stained with quite a bit of blood, making him look quite terrifying. The pedestrians on the street dared not approach them.
"Boss, let's go."
Ning Beichen had no time for extra words, nor did he have time to care about the thoughts of the terrified bystanders. He dragged Liu Yilin's hand and walked forward quickly.
However, after they had walked more than ten meters, more assassins appeared around them. And this time, there were quite a few of them, at least seven or eight, and likely more hidden around.
Furthermore, these assassins were no longer opting for silent attacks but had switched to open assaults. Some of them even had firearms.
Ning Beichen frowned. It seemed these people had come out in full force, intending to play a game of "success or death."
"Why haven't those guys like Shi Yong arrived yet? They're too slow."
Ning Beichen was somewhat displeased at this moment.
Normally, when nothing was going on, they appeared quickly enough. But when something was happening, good heavens, they were nowhere to be seen for ages.
