Ling Chen was a bit helpless. It was his first meeting with this woman, so how could he know the reason for her hostility? Moreover, Ling Chen was quite sure that a woman with such extraordinary temperament and stunning appearance would definitely leave a deep impression at a nce. Thus, he was 100% certain that he had never seen her before and could not possibly have any enmity with her.


    "To be honest, I really don''t know what you''re talking about, nor do I understand why you want to deal with me. My purpose foring this time is simple, to find the whereabouts of Yang Yan and his wife. I heard from Qi Houzhao that you instructed him to capture me, and even wanted to take the lives of me and my girlfriend. I can''t understand, as I don''t even know you, why do you want to kill me? Also, I would like to ask you, do you know Yang Yan and his wife?"


    "Whether I know them or not is none of your business," the woman replied coldly. After speaking, the woman seemed to think of something, her eyes filled with doubt as she looked at Ling Chen, asking, "Could it be that you really don''t know who I am?"


    Ling Chen spread his hands and said, "I''ve stressed it several times, I really don''t know you. Why don''t you tell me who you are?"


    "I..." The woman was about to say something but quickly caught herself and said coldly, "Since you don''t know who I am, then there''s no need for you to know. A dead man doesn''t need to know so much."


    With that, the woman raised the gun in her hand and aimed it at Ling Chen''s body.


    "You want to kill me?" Ling Chen squinted his eyes, frowning as he looked at the woman. While speaking, his whole body tensed up, all his muscles mobilized.


    "You shouldn''t havee to look for Yang Yan and his wife. They sent you here just to make you deliver yourself to death."


    Them?


    Hearing the woman mention ''them,'' Ling Chen couldn''t help but feel curious, unsure of who ''they'' referred to.


    However, before Ling Chen could ask, a ''bang'' rang out, a gunshot was fired, and the bullet hit Ling Chen''s body directly.


    In an instant, blood gushed from Ling Chen''s chest, quickly soaking his clothes red.


    Seeing this scene, Ji Beizhao''s eyes immediately turned red with urgency, about to yell in anger. However, before he could speak, the woman kicked Ji Beizhao to the ground, then aimed the gun at his body.


    Looking at the dark gun barrel, Ji Beizhao couldn''t help swallowing, his face turning pale.


    He never expected this woman''s heart to be so ruthless, killing without the slightest hesitation.


    Woo-woo-woo-woo!


    Just as the woman was about to shoot, a piercing police siren suddenly came from the side of the road. Soon after, several police cars rushed into the open parking lot, speeding towards them.


    Seeing the police cars approach, the woman frowned slightly, immediately put away the gun in her hand, and quickly ran out of the parking lot.


    Watching her retreating figure, Ji Beizhao exhaled heavily, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.


    There was no time to rest at this moment. Ji Beizhao hurriedly got up from the ground, picked up Ling Chen''s body, and ran outside. If the police caught him, he would definitely be locked up.


    Escaping from the parking lot, Ji Beizhao took Ling Chen back to the car. Seeing Ling Chen, still bleeding profusely and face pale, Ji Beizhao couldn''t help but sigh.


    This is bad!


    When he goes back, how will he exin to his cousin? Just thinking about it made Ji Beizhao feel an immense headache.


    While pondering, a sudden fit of violent coughing came from inside the car. Immediately after, Ling Chen sprang up from the back seat, gasping forrge breaths of air.


    Seeing Ling Chene back to life, Ji Beizhao was immediately dumbfounded, his gaze nk and incredulous.


    This... how is this possible! He saw with his own eyes Ling Chen falling to the ground from a gunshot, his breathing even stopped. A clearly dead person was now alive again.


    After a moment of shock, Ji Beizhao finally snapped back to reality, speaking with lingering fear, "I thought you were dead."


    "Almost died," Ling Chen said weakly, holding the bleeding wound on his chest. "If you don''t get me back soon, I really will die."


    Hearing this, Ji Beizhao chuckled awkwardly and hurriedly drove back home.


    Returning to their ce, seeing Ji Beizhao helping a blood-soaked Ling Chen inside, Nanrong Wanqing was shocked and rushed over, asking with concern, "Ling Chen, how are you? Are you okay?"


    Before Ling Chen could reply, Ji Beizhao already spoke, "With so much blood lost, how can he be okay? Come help me get him to the sofa."


    Nanrong Wanqing didn''t dare to neglect, immediately supporting Ling Chen''s arm and moving him to the living room sofa.


    At this time, Nanrong Zhengqing came out from the house with a first-aid kit. As an assassin, removing bullets was a simple task.


    Tearing open the bloody shirt, Nanrong Zhengqing examined the wound on Ling Chen''s chest, then took a sterilized scalpel from the first-aid kit, making a slight incision at each end of the wound. Subsequently, he took out a pair of small tweezers, inserting it into the wound to locate the bullet.


    Ling Chen bit his teeth tightly, enduring the pain in his chest as he watched Nanrong Zhengqing extract the bullet from his wound.


    After stopping the bleeding, Nanrong Zhengqing dressed the wound and, while packing up the tools, asked, "You''re quite lucky; if that bullet had gone in just half a centimeter more, you might not have survived."


    Hearing this, Ling Chen grinned slightly. However, there wasn''t a trace of relief in his eyes. Because he knew best that surviving this time had little to do with luck and was entirely due to his own skills.<fnba57> Updates are released by find?novel</fnba57>


    When the gun was pointed at him, he used the Hua Realm within his body to forcibly tense his muscles, increasing their density. As a result, the muscles'' defensive power was greatly enhanced. Even if hit by a bullet, the reinforced muscles could withstand the bullet''s impact, preventing it from reaching vital organs or critical areas.


    However, this approach was extremely exhausting physically and mentally. At this moment, Ling Chen feltpletely drained, unable even to sit up.


    "Damn, that woman is really ruthless, killing faster than we assassins," Ji Beizhao said unwillingly, "Unfortunately, she got away this time."


    "That woman is no simple character," Ling Chen said.


    Initially, Ling Chen only thought the woman''s shooting was precise, but he didn''t expect her skills to be so formidable as well. Even Ji Beizhao, trained rigorously by the Snake King, fell victim as the woman easily took his gun.


    To have such speed and reflexes, that woman surely is an adept martial artist.


    Sigh!


    Headache.


    Ling Chen touched his forehead, smiling bitterly to himself. Just who is this woman? From her words, it''s clear she has a deep connection with Yang Yan and his wife.


    However, what intrigued Ling Chen the most were the ''they'' referred to by the woman. If he wasn''t mistaken, the woman must have thought he was an underling sent by her enemies.
