Chapter 137 Closing the Net! You think you're worthy of using a gun?
The Ziyun Hall on the third floor of the Yanjing Hotel.
The luxurious private room from the 1980s was covered with a thick red wool carpet, and the walls were adorned with landscape paintings by famous artists. The air was filled with a faint aroma of sandalwood mixed with the scent of expensive cigars.
Lin Zixiong leaned back in his armchair, holding a cup of top-quality Longjing tea in his hand, a confident smile on his face.
Jiang Wu appeared somewhat uneasy across from him.
She was wearing a fashionable dress, but her hands were tightly clutching a brown paper document bag, her palms sweating with nervousness.
"Ms. Jiang, there's no need to be nervous."
Lin Zixiong put down his teacup, his voice gentle, but his eyes held a hint of cat-and-mouse playfulness.
“We are already partners, and it’s safe here.”
Sitting on the sofa behind him was a burly, expressionless man, the very same evil cultivator who had warned Jiang Wu's studio earlier.
He appeared to be resting with his eyes closed, but a cold, bloody aura subtly clung to Jiang Wu, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows.
"Mr. Lin, everything you requested is here."
Jiang Wu pushed the file bag in her hand away, her voice trembling.
"This is Qin Lie's itinerary for his trip to the Xishan base next week. The time, route, license plate number... it's all on it."
"And this..."
She took a set of keys out of her bag and placed them on the table.
"This is the key to our study. Qin Lie... he went to a meeting at the military region early this morning and won't be back until tonight."
Lin Zixiong's eyes lit up.
He picked up the itinerary and looked at it carefully, then picked up the keys and weighed them in his hand, his smile widening.
"Very good, very good!"
He nodded in satisfaction and then winked at the evil cultivator behind him.
The evil cultivator stood up, picked up the keys and itinerary without saying a word, and turned to leave the private room.
He was going to verify the authenticity of the intelligence and at the same time send someone to infiltrate Qin Lie's study.
Only Lin Zixiong and Jiang Wu remained in the private room.
The atmosphere instantly became somewhat ambiguous.
"Ms. Jiang, this is to celebrate our successful collaboration and to mark your upcoming new beginning."
Lin Zixiong stood up, picked up a bottle of red wine that had already been decanted from the small bar counter next to him, and poured two glasses.
He handed one of the cups to Jiang Wu, his eyes gleaming with undisguised desire.
Let's have a drink.
"Mr. Lin, I... I don't drink alcohol," Jiang Wu said timidly.
"Hehe, Ms. Jiang, you're going to live in Western high society in the future, how can you not know how to drink?"
Lin Zixiong's tone became somewhat forceful as he shoved the wine glass into Jiang Wu's hand.
You must drink this glass of wine.
"Drink this glass of wine and everything from the past will be over."
Jiang Wu looked at the crimson liquid in her glass, then at Lin Zixiong's smiling face that concealed a knife, and a hint of struggle and submission flashed in her eyes.
She raised her glass to her lips, just as she was about to drink it—
Her wrist "accidentally" twitched.
"Smack!"
The crystal wine glass didn't shatter when it hit the thick carpet, but the red wine spilled out and splashed all over Lin Zixiong.
A large, glaring wine stain was suddenly left on his expensive Versace suit.
"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry, Mr. Lin! I didn't mean to!"
Jiang Wu hurriedly stood up and frantically grabbed a napkin, wanting to help Lin Zixiong wipe himself.
This is the signal!
"It doesn't matter."
Lin Zixiong's face darkened, but he still maintained his composure.
He grabbed Jiang Wu's hand to stop her, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes.
"It's just a piece of clothing."
However, the moment he finished speaking!
"Bang!"
The door to the private room was violently slammed open with tremendous force!
A dozen or so men dressed in black suits with cold expressions surged in like a tide!
They moved swiftly and coordinated perfectly, forming an encirclement before Lin Zixiong could even react.
The dark muzzles of guns were pointed at him from all directions.
"Don't move!"
"National Security!"
A cold, sharp shout struck Lin Zixiong's heart like a heavy hammer.
His face turned deathly pale instantly, and his refined and elegant mask was shattered in that moment!
"You! You dare to play me!"
Lin Zixiong suddenly turned his head and stared intently at Jiang Wu, his eyes flashing with a venomous hatred.
He reacted incredibly quickly, his other hand flashing out to his inside pocket!
His last resort was hidden there—a loaded Walther PPK pistol!
However, his hand had just touched the gun handle—
A blur of incredible speed flashed by!
Jiang Wu moved!
She had just been looking weak and vulnerable, but now she was like a cheetah that had been awakened, moving so fast that it was impossible to see her!
She flipped her wrist and grabbed Lin Zixiong's wrist with her other hand, applying force with her five fingers.
"Crack!"
A crisp cracking sound rang out!
Lin Zixiong's wrist was broken by her at an odd angle!
"ah--!"
The intense pain caused Lin Zixiong to let out a bloodcurdling scream, like a pig being slaughtered.
Jiang Wu did not stop.
With lightning speed, she snatched the pistol from Lin Zixiong's arms with her other hand.
The entire movement was fluid and seamless, so fast that the armed state security personnel only saw a series of afterimages!
Jiang Wu held the small, exquisite pistol in her hand and weighed it in her hand, a cold, disdainful smile appearing on her face.
She looked up at Lin Zixiong, whose face was contorted in agony, and slowly spoke in a voice he had never heard before, a voice that was cold and piercing:
"Someone like you doesn't even deserve to use a gun?"
Before she could finish speaking, her wrist twitched.
With a click, she easily removed the magazine.
Then came another dazzling display of skill; in just a few seconds, she disassembled a finely crafted German pistol into a pile of cold, lifeless parts scattered on the carpet.
This move left everyone present dumbfounded!
This isn't some housewife; she's clearly someone even more terrifying than a special forces king!
Lin Zixiong was completely stunned. He forgot his pain and just looked at Jiang Wu with horror, as if she were a monster.
"Who...who are you?!"
You are not worthy to know who I am.
Jiang Wu looked down at him as if he were an ant.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps and sounds of fighting came from outside the private room.
That heretical cultivator is back!
He had clearly been ambushed as well!
"Grab him!"
"Don't let him get away!"
Amidst the shouts, the figure of the evil cultivator appeared at the doorway, his body covered in blood, clearly having just survived a fierce battle.
When he saw the scene in the private room, a look of horror flashed in his eyes, and he immediately turned around and tried to run away!
"Trying to leave?"
Jiang Wu snorted coldly.
Without even looking at the doorway, she casually picked up a toothpick from the fruit plate on the table.
A flick of the finger!
"call out!"
With the enhancement of her spiritual power, the small bamboo toothpick, like an arrow shot from a powerful bow, pierced the air with a sharp sound and accurately struck the evil cultivator in the back of the heart!
However, just as the toothpick was about to hit the target...
A sudden change has occurred!
A burst of black energy suddenly erupted from the body of that evil cultivator!
The toothpick shot into the black mist vanished instantly, like a mud ox sinking into the sea!
The evil cultivator himself used this power to increase his speed dramatically, and disappeared at the end of the corridor in a flash.
Jiang Wu's brows furrowed tightly for the first time.
That wasn't ordinary internal energy or true qi, it was... demonic energy!
A kind of energy that is purer and colder than the aura of evil cultivators!
This is troublesome!
Just then, Lin Zixiong, who was being held down on the ground by two state security officers, suddenly raised his head and looked at Jiang Wu with an extremely venomous and crazed smile.
"Hehe...hahaha..."
He burst into laughter, seemingly insane.
"You think this is over? Jiang Wu, do you think you've won?"
"I'm telling you, this is just the beginning!"
He stared intently at Jiang Wu and said, word by word:
"The Lu family... and that 'sir'... will absolutely not let you go!"
"If you destroy me, they will destroy your most precious thing!"
"Your children... hah... they will be buried with me!"
