Chapter 322 Life-or-Death Rescue! Ying Yuexuan is Not Yet Qualified [2 Updates]
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the bullet was fired in an instant.
The other three watched this scene indifferently, without any reaction.
It's as if the life of a top international professor is no different from that of an ant in their eyes.
But at that moment, suddenly—
"Whoosh!"
A small knife pierced through the nailed-up window, flew in at an angle, and met the bullet with extremely precise aim.
"Clang!"
The bullet struck the blade of the knife, and the impact sent the knife lodged horizontally in the wall on the other side.
The young man's nonchalant expression instantly changed: "Who?!"
The gun in his hand was a new piece of equipment he bought from the NOK forum trading area.
The bullet was very fast and had great force.
Not to mention diamonds, it can even completely penetrate graphene crystals.
How could such a thin knife possibly stop a bullet?
No, that's not the point.
The key question is, they've blocked all signals, so how would anyone know Herwin's location?
Just then, with a loud "bang," the tightly closed door was kicked open.
In just three seconds, the five members of the elite team had arrived at the unconscious Herwin's side, so fast that the young man didn't even have time to react.
The young man was startled awake only after the ropes binding Herwin were untied. His eyes narrowed sharply: "Mr. Mond."
As soon as the sound fell, the middle-aged man, who had kept his eyes tightly closed, opened them and quickly locked onto the five members of the elite team.
His voice was hoarse and deep, carrying a certain seductive power: "Stop."
The five people indeed stopped moving.
The young man breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he hired a hypnotist, otherwise he would have gone home empty-handed today.
The young man didn't bother to find out where the five people came from, and then instructed, "Mr. Mond, thank you for your help."
Mond nodded, and just as he was about to do something, he saw the five people looking at him like he was an idiot.
His heart skipped a beat, and he instantly realized something was wrong.
But it was too late.
The captain stepped forward and swiftly subdued Mond with lightning speed: "Hypnotist?"
Hypnotists have a major weakness: they are physically weak.
Once the hypnosis is broken and they are brought into close combat, even a novice assassin could take them down.
"Where do you rank on the hypnotist list, hmm?" The captain chuckled. "Twentieth already? You think you can hypnotize us? You can't even break through my internal energy. Who are you trying to hypnotize?"
The words "Hypnotist Ranking" came as a thunderbolt.
Only members of the Hidden Alliance know of the existence of this ranking list.
The young man's expression changed completely; it wasn't just fear, it was terror: "You... are ancient martial arts practitioners?!"
Haven't ancient martial arts practitioners disappeared long ago?
Those who frequent the NOK forums naturally knew about the existence of ancient martial arts.
Ancient martial arts are amazing, with techniques like flying over rooftops, using hidden weapons and striking pressure points.
However, ancient martial arts are only found in China.
Therefore, no one dared to invade.
However, after the 21st century, all ancient martial arts families went into seclusion, and ancient martial arts practitioners disappeared from the public eye in an instant.
Nobody knows why.
Ancient martial arts have become something only seen in TV dramas.
But now, there are actually five real ancient martial arts practitioners here!
“Sir.” The young man, who had some knowledge of Chinese culture, immediately changed his attitude. “Who invited you here? I can pay ten times the price.”
Even if there were only one ancient martial arts practitioner here today, let alone five, they wouldn't be able to get out.
But Herwin only knows a few professors in China, so how could a martial arts master come to his rescue?!
"No need." The captain said calmly. He turned to his four team members and instructed, "Hurry up and finish it."
Ancient martial arts practitioners don't need to expend much effort when they make a move.
All four of them, including the young man and Mond, were dealt with.
"Miss Ying." The captain kicked the unconscious young man. "We've taken him away. Is there anything else you need?"
Unlike other teams, the two elite squads are not only responsible for Nie Yi, but also have to liaise with IBI.
Kidnapping a top international professor is not a simple kidnapping case; it must be reported to the IBI.
“Nothing else is needed,” Ying Zijing said on the other end of the phone. “Just find out who they are and let me know.”
The captain nodded: "Alright, then we'll be going now. Miss Ying, please feel free to give us any instructions."
He hung up the phone: "Let's go, call it a day."

After the elite team left with the four men, they notified the Shanghai police, instructing them to go in and bring Herwin out.
Herwin is still unconscious, but has no other injuries.
Pei Tianyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They also reported the kidnapping to the laboratory where Hervin worked.
The Taylor family may not value Herwin, but that doesn't mean others don't. That's why professionals from O Continent have already been sent over.
It seems it's no longer of any use.
"Officer." Pei Tianyi couldn't see the five members of the elite team, and couldn't help but ask again, "Who exactly are they?"
The officer shook his head, offered no further explanation, and left the group.
Pei Tianyi didn't ask anything, holding back his anger.
While making a phone call to the people in the lab, he carefully helped Hervin into the car.
Ying Zijing and Zuo Li accompanied Herwin back to the hotel.
"Thank goodness." Zuo Li came out of the room, wiping away her sweat. "It's safer and faster here, Ying, don't you think?"
"Hmm." Ying Zijing glanced at the top of his head, seemingly lost in thought. "Professor Zuo, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
"Go on, go on," Zuo Li waved her hand, encouraging her, "Ying, you must study hard and contribute to the country!"
There is a severe shortage of talent, and the aging population is becoming increasingly serious.
Every year, many academicians pass away, and there is an urgent need to replenish the ranks with fresh talent.
He had high hopes for Ying Zijing, thinking that she might come up with some groundbreaking invention in the future, and he could even have her help him achieve great things.
Upon hearing this, Ying Zijing paused, turned around, and said expressionlessly, "Your hair growth shampoo is gone."
Zuo Li: "???"
**
Inside the hotel room.
After Pei Tianyi had the doctor examine Herwin, he was completely relieved.
The phone rang at that moment, and Pei Tianyi glanced at it.
It was Ying Yuexuan calling.
He hesitated for a moment, then went outside and answered the phone.
"Senior brother, why are you in such a hurry to leave at noon? What's the matter?" Ying Yuexuan asked. "Has the matter been resolved? Is there anything I can do to help?"
“It’s been resolved, so you don’t need to worry.” Pei Tianyi pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to soften his tone. “Yuexuan, you also helped us with this scientific research survey. I’m going to submit your name, and you can get some bonuses.”
The prize money isn't important; what matters is getting my name on the professor's list.
This would make it much easier for Ying Yuexuan to enter academia.
Ying Yuexuan was pleasantly surprised, but also reluctant to part: "Senior brother, are you going back to O Continent?"
“Yes, we have to go back.” Pei Tianyi rubbed his temples. “We’ll see each other again next year when you go to O continent for the international finals. Your senior brother is waiting for you to get a good ranking.”
Herwin's kidnapping was by no means a coincidence, and there will be more dangers to come.
Pei Tianyi even suspected that there was a mole in the laboratory.
"I will," Ying Yuexuan said. "I'll have to trouble you a lot then, Senior Brother."
“Hmm—” Pei Tianyi remained silent for a long time before finally speaking, “Yuexuan, your younger sister, that’s Ying Zijing, she…”
"Senior brother," Ying Yuexuan interrupted him for the first time, "I don't want to discuss her with you. You know we don't have a very good relationship."
Most importantly, she desperately wanted to prevent those around her from focusing their attention on Ying Zijing.
Pei Tianyi paused for a moment, then said no more: "Okay, I respect your opinion."
He didn't mention the NOK forum to Ying Yuexuan at all.
He admires Ying Yuexuan, that's true, but he also knows what's important.
Given Ying Yuexuan's abilities and status, she is not qualified to know about the existence of the NOK Forum.
After ending the call, Pei Tianyi checked on Herwin's safety again before returning to his room.
He thought for a moment, then opened his laptop and downloaded the PC version of the Shark Live streaming platform.
After hearing Ying Yuexuan say that the number one on the global ranking was actually a streamer, Pei Tianyi had been wanting to see for himself.
He's been too busy these past few days, and today he went through a kidnapping case, so he hasn't been able to rest. Now he finally has some free time.
He opened the downloaded Shark Live app and entered the live stream room number that Ying Yuexuan had given him.
