The Supreme Beauty Fell in Love with Me

Chapter 696: Assassin


Twenty meters, nineteen meters, eighteen meters...

Fifteen meters is his sniping distance, and it is also the point he set to open fire. Because once this point was missed, no such good position could be found again.

The environment of the Changlin Factory is complex, because the residential area is old, neglected, and it's summer now, with bushes and weeds overgrown. The grass is almost half the height of a person. Therefore, once the fifteen-meter sniping point is missed, the assassin's line of sight would be blocked by the weeds beside him. Once this point is missed, he would probably have to look for another opportunity.

He carefully stared through the scope.

Seventeen meters, sixteen meters!

At this moment, Lin Chuan's footsteps suddenly stopped, and the assassin's sight was blocked by an old locust tree, with only one of Lin Chuan's legs visible in his scope. The assassin immediately held his breath. His finger was already on the trigger, ready to pull it immediately and blow Lin Chuan's head off as soon as he showed up.

Lin Chuan had an ominous premonition, a feeling that made it difficult for him to breathe.

Moreover, this feeling seemed somewhat familiar to him. But, he could not remember where he had felt this way. Therefore, he stopped moving and lit a cigarette. Just as he took the first drag, he suddenly remembered the feeling. It was five years ago in the Sahara Desert when he was targeted by an enemy's sniper rifle from tens of meters away; had it not been for his master saving him, he might have died.

Lin Chuan took a deep breath, surprised to be feeling the same way here. Obviously, hidden among the dense weeds around him was something that posed a fatal threat to him.

Whoosh...

Lin Chuan pushed off with his legs, using his hands and feet to rapidly climb up the nearby old locust tree.

"Hmm?"The assassin was taken aback. Just a moment ago there was a leg, but now even that leg had disappeared. The assassin immediately realized something was amiss. Could his hiding have been discovered by the enemy? Something was not right. The assassin immediately decided to retreat.

For the assassin, once his presence was discovered by the enemy, it meant this ambush had failed. Thus, he must retreat to preserve his life.

The assassin quietly put away the gun in his hand, and stealthily crouched down, preparing to retreat through the dense weeds.

Bang...

Suddenly, a shadow swept over from behind him. A tremendous force hooked onto the back of his neck. The assassin was thrown forward. After the attack, he did not panic but immediately got up, grabbed the dagger from his ankle, and stabbed towards the opponent in an instant.

Click...

Lin Chuan's dagger collided with the assassin's military spike.

Through the night vision goggles, the assassin shouted angrily: "You couldn't have discovered me!"

"But I truly did discover you, and I almost killed you!" Lin Chuan's mouth twitched.

"You!" The assassin was furious, yelling: "I will kill you!"

"With just you?" Lin Chuan said disdainfully: "You're not qualified enough!"

After saying this, Lin Chuan grabbed another dagger with his other hand and stabbed.

Thud...

The opponent never expected Lin Chuan to have two daggers on him; one thrust, and blood gushed out immediately. The opponent gritted his teeth, threw a punch at Lin Chuan with his other hand. Lin Chuan didn't wait for the punch to land and kicked his single leg into the opponent's chest.

Bang...

The opponent was immediately rolled out, tumbling several times in the grass. Amid the grass, there were lots of discarded garbage and broken stones. The opponent hit his head several times while tumbling, causing him to howl in pain.

"Go to hell!" After being tossed around by Lin Chuan like that, he couldn't swallow this insult; he threw down his firearms and quickly pounced towards Lin Chuan. The dagger in his hand shimmered with a few streaks of cold light in the darkness, which almost frightened Lin Chuan.

Whoosh whoosh...

After a few stabs, Lin Chuan was somewhat horrified. The opponent was very fast, and his moves were pressing. Lin Chuan kept retreating. The opponent pressed forward, his dagger in the dark blooming bunches of cold light, like a blooming lotus.

Although the opponent's attack was fierce, after a few rounds, Lin Chuan figured out the opponent's attack pattern. Everyone's attack has its own pattern, and once the attack pattern is figured out by the enemy, it means the approaching of failure. Also for this reason, facing an unknown enemy, Lin Chuan rarely attacks actively, much less relentlessly chases the opponent unless he has figured out the opponent's attack pattern.

Click...

Suddenly, Lin Chuan struck like a thunderbolt, leaping up, his legs fiercely kicked onto the opponent's chest. This kick rolled the opponent out again. However, Lin Chuan didn't give up on the attack but rapidly chased after him.

The man felt a dizzy spell in his eyes, seeing stars. After falling to the ground, he immediately rolled out. Knowing he had been hit by Lin Chuan, while he was still pondering his next attack, he realized that he had already lost the opportunity to fight.

A bitterly cold dagger was already at his throat.

"Tell me, who sent you?" Lin Chuan asked coldly.

"You'll never get any information from me!" The opponent glared at Lin Chuan, teeth clenched.

"Aren't you afraid of dying?" Lin Chuan asked with a smile.

"What is death?" The man said disdainfully: "Death would be an honor for me."

"Heh heh…" Lin Chuan suddenly revealed a sinister smile, saying: "I won't let you die so easily."

"Hmph, any harsh interrogation won't work on me!" The man clearly was very disdainful.

Bang...

Lin Chuan punched the man from behind. The man instantly went limp and fell over.

Soon after, Zhou Kai and the others hurried over in their car. Upon receiving Lin Chuan's call, Zhou Kai immediately dropped everything and rushed over with Li Qiang and Liu Cheng.

"Chuanzi bro!" Zhou Kai ran over anxiously.

"Are you alright?" Li Qiang quickly asked.

"I'm fine!" Lin Chuan exhaled his last puff of smoke and said, "Take this guy away."

"This..." Only then did they notice a second person in the bushes. Liu Cheng exclaimed in shock, "Who is this guy?"

"Don't worry about who it is for now!" Lin Chuan replied, "Just take him away."

After saying that, they immediately carried the man in black camo onto the car.

Lin Chuan then found the opponent's firearms on the lawn—a lightweight sniper rifle with a 200-meter effective range and a 24-round magazine capacity. Lin Chuan weighed the sniper rifle; it wasn't heavy. Compared to the several dozen kilograms heavy Barrett sniper, this one was insignificant.

"There's a gun?" Zhou Kai asked, astonished.

"Yes!" Lin Chuan nodded and declared, "This is a professional assassin!"

"Oh my god." Li Qiang was taken aback and quickly asked, "Chuanzi bro, wasn't this guy here to kill you, was he?"

"Correct." Lin Chuan nodded.

"Who did this?" Liu Cheng asked urgently.

"It's not clear yet." Lin Chuan shook his head and said, "But the most likely suspect is the Qin Gang."

"Exactly, it's the Qin Gang." Zhou Kai nodded immediately.

They all hurried back by driving to the transport market, which was dark and barely lit, except for a few juniors on duty. The lights were still on at the repair factory, where Uncle Liu and others had set up a table outside, with some cold dishes, cooked beef, a plate of kelp, each holding a half-liter bottle of baijiu.

"Oh, you're back?" Uncle Liu asked with a smile, "Want to join us for some food?"

"No, thanks!" Zhou Kai quickly waved it off.

The group hurriedly carried the man in black to a nearby warehouse.

The old men glanced over but said nothing, continuing to drink.

Only after Lin Chuan and the others had all entered the warehouse did Uncle Liang speak, "These kids aren't up to anything bad, are they?"

"They wouldn't." Uncle Liu laughed, "Even if it is something bad, it's out of necessity. Think about it, which trillion-dollar enterprise doesn't have a shady history? All capital accumulates from a history of blood and tears, each with its gray areas. Even if Lin Chuan and the others do something, we should support them."

"Hmm, that makes some sense." Uncle Liang nodded.

The old men ate and drank together.

Inside the warehouse, Lin Chuan and his group hung the man in camo mid-air with ropes.

"Wake him up." Lin Chuan ordered.

Splash...

Zhou Kai picked up a basin of water and splashed it towards the man. The man in black woke up instantly.

He glanced around warily before realizing he had fallen into enemy hands. The man glared at Lin Chuan and said angrily, "What do you want?!"

"I don't want much, just tell me who's behind this, and I'll let you go." Lin Chuan sat on a broken chair nearby, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, looking very formidable. Zhou Kai stood behind Lin Chuan, while Li Qiang and Liu Cheng stood to his right.

"Dream on!" the man roared.

"I'm sure you'll talk eventually." Lin Chuan smiled.

"Impossible!" the man yelled.

At this moment, Zhou Kai interjected, "Chuanzi bro, why waste words on him? Watch this."

After speaking, Zhou Kai immediately raised a whip nearby and lashed it fiercely towards the man. This special whip was studded with fine spikes. Each lash left a trail of fresh blood, and the man's clothes were shredded by the whip.

However, the man remained silent, his expression resolute.

Zhou Kai, exhausted, threw the whip to the ground and cursed, "Damn it, this is killing me."
