Lin Dong left the bar and drove his Audi towards his rented apartment in the night.
The renovation of the Marriott Villa should be finished soon, and we might be able to spend the New Year in the mansion.
During the Spring Festival, I might as well bring my mother over as well. In his previous life, Lin Dong and his mother had never experienced what a prosperous Spring Festival was like.
This time, I'm going to splurge on myself no matter what.
With so much wealth and such an incredible cheat code, how could I not enjoy life to the fullest and live up to the hardship of being reborn?
However, he was also struggling with how to explain this sudden acquisition of wealth and mansion to his mother.
Should I tell my mother that all of this was won by her son gambling?
Well, to be honest, while this reason will inevitably get you a good scolding, at least it's passable, right?
Hehe, it's settled then.
January temperatures in the south seem a bit colder.
On a winter night, there are hardly any pedestrians or vehicles to be seen on the streets.
Halfway through the journey, Lin Dong suddenly felt a strange sensation, a mix of unease and impending danger.
Since his third eye opened, Lin Dong has noticed that his sense of touch with the outside world seems to have become more sensitive.
It's like a clueless teenager suddenly having a magical skylight opened.
The world outside the window was so clear and detailed...
He glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that the black Santana had been following him for three blocks, about 200 meters behind.
To confirm his guess, Lin Dong turned the steering wheel and onto the side road leading to the West Suburbs Bridge.
After driving for another 10 minutes, I saw that the Santana behind me was still not far behind.
Lin Dong was now 100% certain that this car was definitely coming for him.
Could it be that he was being targeted after winning money at the casino?
Lin Dong sped up and drove all the way to the riverbank, far away from the West Suburb Bridge.
This area is deserted even during the day, but now it's dark and bustling, making it an ideal place for murder and robbery.
Lin Dong, a former reconnaissance soldier, had long since developed a keen intuition. He knew that if the tail following behind wasn't dealt with tonight, it would bring him even greater trouble sooner or later.
"Squeak!"
As they approached the riverbank, Lin Dong suddenly made a sharp 360-degree turn, bringing the speeding car to a complete stop.
The car was still running, and the high beams were on, shining into the darkness of the road ahead.
Less than 10 seconds later, the roar of a car engine rang out, and a black Santana appeared under the high beams.
The people following Lin Dong seemed to know his intentions beforehand, and they weren't afraid even when they reached a secluded spot.
The Santana sped towards the Audi, its headlights flashing, and only when it was 10 meters away from the front of the Audi did it make a neat emergency stop.
The two cars, their headlights shining on each other, neither of them got out first.
The silent standoff made the atmosphere of the night even more eerie.
Lin Dong activated his Heavenly Eye, his gaze piercing through the dazzling lights and seeing into the opposite carriage.
In the car opposite, sat a man in a black jacket, about thirty-four or thirty-five years old, with deep-set eyes and a sharply defined jawline.
With just one glance, Lin Dong determined that this person was not someone the casino had followed.
Because this person exudes a murderous aura.
This is definitely a dangerous person who has killed people.
Lin Dong, who had been to and from the border battlefields many times, was all too familiar with this atmosphere.
Good Friend Killer
Lin Dong took a deep breath, pushed open the door and got out of the car. In a flash, he disappeared into the darkness beside the car.
"He's quite skilled and very alert; people who have served in the military are definitely different."
A cold voice came from behind, and the man in the jacket got out of the car and stood in the darkness as well.
The two stood about 10 meters apart, but the thick darkness of the night obscured their vision, and they could only vaguely see each other's figures.
However, Lin Dong, who had opened his third eye, was an exception. The man opposite him was slowly taking out a dark pistol from the inside pocket of his jacket.
Then, without anyone noticing, a muffler was installed.
"Are you an assassin?"
Lin Dong felt a chill run down his spine, but he didn't panic.
Having experienced the brutal life-or-death struggles on the battlefield, a pistol was not enough to frighten him.
"Smart, I love dealing with smart people. Sorry, this is my first time taking a job from mainland China, my pronunciation isn't very standard."
A man's teasing voice came from the darkness, and Lin Dong knew that he was deliberately trying to distract him.
Because in the unseen darkness, the silenced pistol was pressed against the assassin's right hip, its muzzle pointed at him.
"A hitman from Hong Kong? The Gao family hired you? If I'm not mistaken, the employer must be the young master Gao Xin, right?"
"You know too much, which is not good, because smart people die young."
"Yeah?"
"Lin Dong, I know you're a good fighter and very fast, but can you outrun a bullet?"
Before the other person finished speaking, Lin Dong moved, disappearing into the night in a flash.
"Whoosh, whoosh!"
Almost simultaneously, the assassin also pulled the trigger, and two faint shots rang out as bullets flew toward Lin Dong, who was rushing towards him.
The scorching bullet grazed Lin Dong's left shoulder but missed.
Because just now, when Lin Dong rushed out, his figure changed position three times in a strange manner along the way.
This ghostly figure appeared and disappeared intermittently, covering a distance of 10 meters in the blink of an eye, and closing in on the assassin.
The speed is just too fast.
Before the astonished assassin could fire a third shot, Lin Dong's hand cleaver arrived, cleanly and decisively cutting into his Adam's apple.
