Mu Wanzhi ultimately sent out her bodyguard team. The other party was someone who had almost killed her son, and such a potential threat could not be allowed to remain.
She only has one son, and she must ensure his absolute safety.
Although she knew that Guan Yingjie wanted to use this assassin to weaken her bodyguard team and reduce her strength, she had no choice; the assassin had to die.
...
Outside a hotel in Donghai City.
As sirens blared, a dozen police cars and dozens of armed special police officers got out and surrounded the small hotel in layers. They dispersed the onlookers and brought the surrounding area under control.
Huang Yi, deputy director of the Special Police Bureau, personally led the team.
Holding a megaphone, he shouted into the hotel, "Lin Yi, you're surrounded! Surrender now, or we'll rush in and your life will be in grave danger."
A room in a hotel.
Lin Yi squinted through the crack, watching everything downstairs.
He had intended to slip away unnoticed in the chaos, but he hadn't expected the other party to recognize him. He knew it was the photo left behind by that woman that had ruined him.
After firing two shots, he retreated and went upstairs.
He is now surrounded.
Although he was a top-notch assassin, he still couldn't let his guard down when facing dozens of heavily armed special police officers; he had to be on high alert.
After Director Huang called out several times but Lin Yi still didn't come out, he immediately sent a small team to sneak in. As soon as they entered, gunfire erupted. Except for the last SWAT officer who managed to escape quickly, the entire team was killed.
The whole thing took no more than 5 minutes.
His expression changed. If the two SWAT officers who were killed in the initial chaos were an accident, due to their carelessness, then the fact that this entire squad was almost wiped out truly proved that the person inside was an extremely dangerous individual.
The SWAT officer who escaped was trembling.
"Chief, that bastard's marksmanship is incredible. Every shot he takes is a headshot, and he's incredibly fast."
Director Huang reassured him, but he himself felt uneasy.
Just in case, he was cautious this time. He had people throw smoke bombs into the hotel, hoping to coax the other party out like a rat.
But more than ten minutes passed, and the other party showed no sign of showing up.
He sent another team in to check, but to his surprise, this team fared even worse; not a single person came out alive.
They had already lost more than a dozen men not long before the encirclement and suppression operation began.
The opponent's terrifying skills cast a shadow over everyone's hearts.
Director Huang wiped his sweat, his breathing becoming rapid. He had originally thought that this mission would be successfully completed and would satisfy the higher-ups, but now, with so many people dead, he was starting to feel overwhelmed. Now, let alone making a contribution, he would be lucky to avoid being held accountable.
He dared not retreat, nor dared to go in; he could only order his men to guard every exit, creating a stalemate with the assassins inside.
The other party was a real killer. Although each of his men was quite skilled, none of them had ever truly encountered a vicious criminal.
Time ticked by, and after a stalemate of more than ten minutes, Mu Wanzhi's bodyguard team arrived.
The team leader knew Director Huang.
Upon seeing the other party arrive, Director Huang immediately went to greet them and explained the situation.
The leader nodded and then began to give instructions.
...
Lin Yi, who was hiding in his room, did not hear the shouts downstairs, so he peeked out slightly.
But this one action almost cost him his life; a bullet grazed his face and then hit the wall.
A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he fired without hesitation in the direction the bullet came from.
The bodyguard who was shooting downstairs was shot in the leg. If he hadn't dodged quickly, he would be dead by now.
"Location confirmed, requesting firing!"
Two or three snipers had somehow climbed up to the high-rise building across the street.
Then he reported to the bodyguard in charge downstairs via walkie-talkie.
"Clearance to fire!"
As soon as the lead bodyguard spoke, several bullets were fired in the direction where Lin Yi had been hiding. The sniper rifles they brought were extremely powerful, and the thin wall could not stop them at all. Lin Yi's arm was hit, and he rolled to the side in a very disheveled state.
He picked up the sniper rifle he had already assembled and fired in the direction the bullets were coming from.
He was incredibly fast; a sniper was shot and then lost control, falling from the building.
The bodyguard in the lead frowned.
He brought his own men, but lost one of them in no time. This sniper was a sharpshooter who had been trained for a long time after retiring, and this loss pained him.
But he knew he couldn't act rashly; he had to eliminate this assassin on the spot.
He rearranged the tactics, combining his own men with Director Huang's men.
Under their combined efforts, Lin Yi finally couldn't hold on any longer and was forced to the rooftop. Lin Yi's face was more solemn than ever before. He was an assassin, not a war god. He was very confident that he could kill someone, whether it was a president or an armed leader. He could use his own methods to assassinate the person.
But faced with this onslaught of bullets, he had no choice but to run.
He stood on the rooftop, listening to the constant noises coming from the stairwell. He took a deep breath. This was the 15th floor; falling from here would be certain death. He had to jump to the other side; only then would he have a chance of survival.
He succeeded, though at the cost of losing a leg, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.
Director Huang and his men rushed to the rooftop, only to find it deserted.
"Chase them!!! Chase them right now!!!"
The losses today are too great. More than a dozen members of the SWAT team died, and five members of the bodyguard group that came later died. That's more than 20 lives lost. If the murderer still gets away after all this, then no one can bear the responsibility.
Lin Yi jumped to the roof of the building opposite and then climbed down the water pipe. He had already studied the escape route when he chose this hotel. This was his personal habit, and he would do this whenever he went to a new place.
He dragged his injured leg, covered in blood, into an alley.
He knew perfectly well that taking the main road while fleeing meant certain death.
So he chose the sewers.
There is a sewer in this alley that leads to the riverbank.
He'll be safe once he crawls through here and out.
...
Hong waited at the unfinished building until dark, but the other person still didn't come.
She knew the other party wouldn't be coming today, so she packed everything up and returned to her residence.
Upon returning to her residence, she found a yellow talisman on her desk.
Upon seeing the talisman, her expression changed drastically, and she immediately drew her dagger, becoming alert.
After observing her surroundings and finding no danger, she slowly moved towards the talisman.
Upon closer inspection, she was immediately puzzled.
Because it only has a few words written on it: [East Suburbs River Embankment].
"What does the Taoist Master Tianji mean by leaving me these words? Does he want to see me?"
Ye Hong hesitated for a moment, but still decided to go and see. If the other party really wanted to harm her, then she would not be able to escape even if she wanted to, because the name "Tianji Daoren" was almost equivalent to a god in the assassin world. Although he was only ranked third on the Heavenly Ranking, he was practically number one.
Since the first and second have disappeared for many years, and there are rumors that both of them were killed by Tianji Daoren, Tianji Daoren should be ranked first now.
Hong arrived at the eastern suburbs riverbank that night with questions in her mind. She held the small gun in her hand. If the Taoist priest Tianji appeared and wanted her dead, she would fight to the death to inflict some damage on him.
Hong didn't wait for Tianji Daoren that night, but she did meet someone she had always wanted to wait for.
Lin Yi crawled out of the sewer pipe. He had been shot in the arm and his leg was broken. He dragged his broken body and limped away, trying to escape.
But just then...
A gunshot rang out, and his only remaining leg was broken on the spot. Shrapnel exploded in his calf, leaving it a bloody mess.
"ah!!!!!!"
Even a tough guy like Lin Yi couldn't withstand such pain; he fell to the ground and howled in agony.
Then his gaze drifted into the shadows.
"Who goes there?!"
He was filled with hatred. He had almost managed to escape. Who was it that shot him in the back?
In the darkness, Ye Lihong walked out step by step.
When Lin Yi saw Ye's red face clearly, he was completely stunned.
"How is that possible? Aren't you dead?"
Night Red looked at him coldly; "Thanks to you, I almost died, but... before I die, I still want to drag you down to hell."
"So you were the one who sent the signal?"
"That's right!"
Ye Lihong admitted it.
"Impossible!!! I threw away the signal device, you couldn't have found me in such a short time!"
Lin Yi didn't believe it. He didn't believe that the other party could pinpoint his location so quickly. He believed his escape route was perfect.
"Indeed, you're right."
Ye Hong took out the yellow talisman and threw it in his face.
"Thanks to this."
Lin Yi picked up the yellow talisman and saw the four characters on it: East Suburb River Embankment.
Lin Yi's eyes widened, his face pale, staring in disbelief at the yellow talisman.
"So that's how it is!! So that's how it is!!! So he was the one who wanted to kill me!! Hehehehe!! Hahahahahaha!!!"
Lin Yi laughed as if he were mentally confused.
Ye Hong cocked her pistol, pointed it at his head, and without saying a word, made him demonstrate why a watermelon is so red.
...
Chen Zhe received news of Lin Yi's death from Mu Wanzhi, and he stood up excitedly.
This lurking assassin was a thorn in his side, and also a source of worry for Sister Hu. Now that the problem has been solved, he feels extremely relieved.
He immediately knocked on Hu Ling's door and told her the good news.
But to everyone's surprise, Hu Ling wasn't too surprised.
"Mu Wanzhi's bodyguards are quite capable. I knew that when they were on the move, which is normal."
"Sister Hu, do you want to find a chance to be resurrected?"
Chen Zhe asked.
Hu Ling hesitated for a moment, then shook her head; "There's also Guan Yingjie, but I'm more worried about that person, so I'd better keep him hidden."
"oh……"
Chen Zhe returned to his room and was still very excited to hear the news. He couldn't help but call Xie Yuhan.
"Xiaoyu, the assassin is dead!"
Xie Yuhan breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the news.
The two chatted for a while until Xie Laodao knocked on the door, at which point Xie Yuhan hung up the phone.
"Who are you calling?"
Master Xie brought in a bowl of soup.
"Grandpa, do you know? That assassin is dead! Just now!"
"Oh, that's normal. Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish."
