Chapter 505: Chapter 505

"Stay here, I’ll go check it out."

"Be careful, and watch your safety!"

Cheng Shi nodded, then he cautiously approached the car, but just as he opened the rear door, a sharp scream came from behind him.

Tang Xiaowan was surrounded by eight men in black.

She held up her gun and scolded, "Don’t move, take one more step... and I’ll shoot."

Killing was somewhat difficult for her.

She was waiting, grinding down time with the men in black, firmly believing Leng Lingxiao would be fine, perhaps even now on his way to the printing factory.

If something really happened, she would not live on in ignominy.

Almost simultaneously, Cheng Shi rushed over; he didn’t fear the men in black shooting, his own life was not important, but Tang Xiaowan couldn’t come to harm.

There was no one in the car at all.

But what Tang Xiaowan didn’t know was that Cheng Shi’s gun was out of bullets, he was just like her, delaying time, waiting for rescue.

"Those who want to live better get the fuck out of my way!"

The leader of the men in black shook his head, snorting coldly at Cheng Shi, "Stop posing, your gun has been empty for a while."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaowan’s heart skipped a beat.

Could it be really out of bullets?

I just forgot to give you mine!

"Oh? Is that so? You can try it," Cheng Shi pointed his gun at the leader, his gaze icy.

He dared not act recklessly, as any slight mishap could lead Tang Xiaowan into a dire situation.

No matter what, he couldn’t lose his presence.

"Even if it does... guess if your marksmanship is accurate, or if it’s cooler for us brothers to shoot at the same time."

"Ah, and there’s a pretty girl!"

He didn’t believe Cheng Shi’s marksmanship was so precise to simultaneously take out all eight of them and save Tang Xiaowan before they could react.

Suddenly, a rumbling sound approached.

Six cars came charging in impressively, one of which was a black business van.

Her omnipotent Mr. Perfect had arrived.

Tang Xiaowan instantly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing she was no match for these men in black, but now she was finally safe.

He must have seen the forwarded message.

That’s great, as long as you’re safe!

Before the men in black could recover, Ding Hui, from atop the SUV, had already taken out their leader with a remote shot.

The bullet passed without so much as touching a single hair on Tang Xiaowan’s head.

Such was the level of his sniper skills.

Cheng Shi felt even more respect for the shooter.

Seeing the leader fall instantly to the ground, blood spurting from his chest, the other men in black were thrown into panic, retreating hastily, no longer daring to act rashly.

The situation was reversed in an instant; without the command of their leader, the men in black became chaotically flustered.

Thus, Tang Xiaowan successfully escaped danger.

Next, more than a dozen mercenaries quickly got out of their cars, positioning themselves right in front of Tang Xiaowan.

"Who the hell are you? Daring to mess with us, have the guts to give us your name!" one of the men in black roared, his face filled with anger and fear.

Their original plan had been well thought out, but they never anticipated that a Cheng Yaojin would ambush them mid-way.

As soon as his words fell, a tall, handsome man alighted from the business van, his eyes incredibly cold, his face without a trace of a smile.

"Huahua, Huahua!" Tang Xiaowan couldn’t help calling out, tears spilling from her eyes.

When Leng Lingxiao saw Tang Xiaowan with tear-streaked cheeks, he quickly ran over and hugged her tightly, gently stroking her black hair.

"Sorry, did I scare you?"

"No, I’m okay. How about you? Are you okay? I thought... I’m just glad you’re safe."

"Silly girl, it’s okay, stop crying."

Seeing that the newcomer was Leng Lingxiao, the men in black who had been shouting just moments ago suddenly felt chills down their spines, cold sweat breaking out on their foreheads in an instant.

They’d long heard of Leng Lingxiao’s ruthlessness.

But he didn’t want to give up easily, after all, the mission was not yet complete. So he gave the remaining people a look, preparing for one last gamble.

However, a muffled series of gunshots rang out, and before they could take action, they all fell.

Ten minutes later, inside the business van.

Tang Xiaowan listened to Leng Lingxiao’s analysis and Zhao Renjie’s supplement, her face showing shock.

She had not expected Li Zishen to be the mastermind again.

Last week at the Chicheng Sect’s planned kidnapping, she could forgive, since it had caused no harm, but this time was different, the disturbance was too great.

It had been made so clear, how could he not see the error of his ways?

Those were over a dozen lives!

"Tangtang, are you okay?" Leng Lingxiao asked worriedly, his eyes unavoidably drawn to hers.

"Does he not know about the tracker?"

"Of course he does, that’s why he installed a jamming system nearby... aiming for a quick resolution."

"Ah, it’s a good thing you arrived in time!"

Leng Lingxiao held her hand, sometimes pinching her fingertips, and at times rubbing the pads of her fingers, appearing casual but actually overwhelmed with guilt.

He should have arrived even earlier.

In fact, Leng Lingxiao had already arrived quite promptly; it had only been 40 minutes since Tang Xiaowan had left the Yelan Xiang Club, but to Leng Lingxiao it felt like an eternity, an intense ordeal.

"I thought only the phones were jammed, I didn’t realize the car was too." Tang Xiaowan grew more and more indignant, biting her lip hard.

"It’s over now, all in the past."

"To actually send so many people this time, what exactly does he want to do? Time and time again."

"Now I understand why Ye Wanhua..."

"I understood yesterday, but I didn’t expect... that he would be so ruthless, is he still intent on kidnapping me? Planning to confine me at Li Garden?"

"This is an account... that must be settled properly!"

Leng Lingxiao’s large palm stroked her head a few times, calming her somewhat startled heart.

Of course, he would not let Li Zishen off the hook.

This was intolerable, and had it not been for the vigilance of the Yelan Xiang security who noticed Tang Xiaowan’s car stop and then leave, finding it suspicious and promptly reporting to Zhao Renjie, the consequences couldn’t be imagined.

"But... will this be exposed by journalists?" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ⓝovelFire.net

At this moment, Tang Xiaowan was still considering Leng Lingxiao, after all, so many people had died, and the printing factory’s floor also bore numerous signs of a struggle.

If this were to be reported by a journalist online, Lingxiao Group would inevitably be affected.

Even though those people were likely all foreigners without legitimate identities, untraceable even, it was still a matter of human lives.

All her concerns were understood by Leng Lingxiao.

But such matters were routine for him, with his vast experience.

"Ding Hui will take care of it, no worries."

"I’m thinking... could we say... it was a film shoot? It might make things easier to handle."

At that, Leng Lingxiao’s lips curled gently, and tenderly, he teased Tang Xiaowan’s nose: "My smart Little Tangtang indeed!"

Zhao Renjie: Mmm, it’s not a bad idea.

Cheng Shi: Miss has been watching too many movies, huh? But speaking of which... it’s certainly sensational!

"Oh no, I forgot about Ye Wanhua."

"Old Zhao has already sent word, said you had a sudden matter, and she said it’s not urgent, she would wait for you."

"That’s a relief, gave me quite a scare."

"Have a good talk when you see her, relax a bit, I’ll wait for you in the car, and do some work at the same time."

Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at the Yelan Xiang Club, and Tang Xiaowan couldn’t help but frown slightly, her recently calmed thoughts becoming complex again as she got out of the car.

To say she wasn’t nervous would be a lie; her heartbeat was racing, and she felt her face heat up after only a few steps.

What should she call her upon meeting?

Never mind, let’s stick with Sister Wanhua.
