However, Ning Beichen had no idea that Shi Yong and the others were still searching that useless small hotel, completely unaware of the "major event" happening here.
"Boss, be careful."
Ning Beichen suddenly pushed Liu Yilin, then saw a bullet flying towards him.
Without even thinking, Ning Beichen pinched his index finger and thumb, and the bullet was caught between his fingers. The scorching heat made the skin on his hand sizzle.
But Ning Beichen seemed unaffected. He flicked the bullet held between his fingers, and it flew like a fired projectile, tracing an arc in the air before instantly hitting the assassin hiding in a convenience store by the roadside who had shot at him.
The assassin's forehead was hit, and a spectacular spray of blood instantly erupted. It was estimated that in his dying moments, he couldn't believe he would die by his own bullet.
With a whoosh.
Ning Beichen single-handedly grabbed a trash can from the roadside and used it as a shield, blocking the assassin's attack and protecting Liu Yilin as they moved forward.
Seeing how powerful Ning Beichen was, the assassins exchanged glances and stopped fighting individually. Instead, they joined forces and launched a coordinated attack on Ning Beichen and Liu Yilin.
No matter what, as long as they could kill the two of them, it would be worth it even if they had to flee the country afterward.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Some assassins fired at them, and Ning Beichen swung the trash can in his hand. Although it was just a thin sheet of metal, with the enhancement of his strength, it could barely hold them off for a while.
Moreover, Ning Beichen judged that they couldn't use weapons of great power or lethality in the Ancient Eastern Country. It wasn't that they didn't have them, but they simply couldn't bring them in.
What they could use were weapons assembled from rough parts with low power, their effectiveness less than half of the original.
This was the advantage of being in the Ancient Eastern Country. If they were overseas, Ning Beichen wouldn't be so at ease. Let alone high-powered weapons, it wouldn't be impossible for them to attack them with tanks or even aircraft.
After a burst of gunfire, Ning Beichen and Liu Yilin were unharmed, but several unfortunate passersby were hit by stray bullets and injured.
At this moment, Ning Beichen couldn't care about them. The only way to prevent such incidents was to stay away from crowds.
Although being in a crowd would provide some chaotic protection for them, Ning Beichen was not that kind of person.
So, while using the trash can to block the assassins' attacks, he held Liu Yilin's hand, made her duck her head, and then dragged her away from the bustling street, turning into a small alley beside it.
The assassins also followed. They had no other choice now. Time was pressing, and before the authorities arrived, the only way was to kill the targets as soon as possible and escape.
Moreover, before they made their move, no one had expected the target to be so difficult to deal with. They had mobilized so many people, and yet they hadn't even managed to scratch the person.
These assassins exchanged glances again and then began to divide their roles. Some entered from the alley entrance, while others went from the sides and rear to surround them, intending to trap them like a turtle in a jar.
However, they didn't know that this wasn't Ning Beichen fleeing in desperation into the alley to his death, but rather that this was the graveyard prepared for them!
Because Ning Beichen's men were already waiting inside with bared fangs for them to enter.
Ning Beichen dragged Liu Yilin into the alley, and someone immediately came over and gave Ning Beichen a look. Without a word, a metal door by the alley wall suddenly opened. Ning Beichen dragged Liu Yilin in, and the metal door closed again.
Behind the metal door was a kitchen, but it was unclear which restaurant's back kitchen it belonged to. And the chefs and waiters inside completely ignored their arrival, as if they were invisible.
Ning Beichen led Liu Yilin out of the back kitchen and went up to the second floor. From the second-floor railing, they moved to another building. Ning Beichen then dragged Liu Yilin into a storage room.
With Liu Yilin's confused and surprised expression, she saw Ning Beichen take out two sets of clothes, one for a man and one for a woman, from the storage room. He handed the women's clothes to Liu Yilin and said.
"Boss, there might still be hidden assassins outside. For safety's sake, we need to change our clothes to leave."
Before Liu Yilin could speak, she saw Ning Beichen changing his clothes right in front of her, causing her to let out a scream.
However, Ning Beichen quickly finished changing and did not expose any indecent parts as she might have imagined.
"Boss, hurry up and change. Time is tight, and I need to get you out of this dangerous area as soon as possible."
Ning Beichen said after he had changed.
"Are we... changing right here?"
Liu Yilin asked.
"Boss, do you see any other place here?"
Ning Beichen asked her.
Liu Yilin glanced around. The storage room was only about ten square meters, and everything was in plain sight, with nothing to hide behind.
"Then... then turn around."
Liu Yilin had no choice but to say to him.
It wasn't that she was being fussy, but she was wearing a backless dress and a skirt. If she changed, Ning Beichen would see everything.
Ning Beichen had to turn around. He had no mood to enjoy the scenery at this moment. Even if Liu Yilin danced in front of him naked, he probably wouldn't have any thoughts about her.
"You... you're not allowed to peek!"
Liu Yilin said unconfidently.
"Boss, what time is it now? Do you think I have the mood to peek?"
Ning Beichen replied with a wry smile.
Hearing Ning Beichen's answer, she also felt a little embarrassed. She quickly took off her skirt and put on the casual sportswear for women that Ning Beichen had given her.
What made Liu Yilin even more astonished was that the size of the women's clothes fit her perfectly, indicating that they weren't found randomly but had been prepared in advance.
After changing, Liu Yilin was still pondering, wondering if Ning Beichen had foresight and knew there would be danger tonight, so he had prepared in advance?
Actually, she was overthinking it. Ning Beichen was just being prepared. He was very experienced in dealing with such situations.
When he protected important figures overseas before, the troubles were much greater than today. Back then, it wasn't just some assassins, but desperate mercenaries and genuine outlaws.
The most dangerous time was when he protected a princess of a certain royal family overseas and successfully escaped from a ground-penetrating bomb explosion, followed by attacks from over a dozen tanks and the firepower of hundreds of professional personnel. That was truly a grand scene.
