Approaching An Qi, Zhou Jiajia carried out an inspection and asked, "Are you really okay?"
"I'm totally fine! Don't worry, Jiajia, with the big bad wolf here, nothing will happen to me," An Qi replied.
"Thank goodness, you have no idea, you almost scared me to death just now. If something had happened to you, I wouldn't even know how to explain it to your father," Zhou Jiajia said, covering her chest with her hand to calm her racing heart.
"I'm sorry for making you worry, Jiajia," An Qi said, somewhat embarrassed.
"How could your seat have suddenly opened? Wasn't it securely fastened before we started?" Zhou Jiajia asked.
"I don't know why that happened," An Qi answered.
"Wanting to know the answer, go and check, and you'll find out! Let's go! We are going to examine the seat you were sitting in just now," Lin Yifan said, then led An Qi and Zhou Jiajia towards the jumping machine.
When they arrived at the malfunctioning jumping machine, Lin Yifan began to inspect An Qi's seat.
After examining, he found no obvious issues - the safety belts were intact, the materials used were the same as the other seats; furthermore, the seat's screws were in place, none were loose; and lastly, the armrests and the clasping parts of the seat were also intact, with no damage.
"Strange? How can there be no problem?" Lin Yifan was puzzled.
"What's the matter? Told you there was no foul play, you still don't believe it," said the project manager of the pendulum ride, his face the picture of innocence.
Actually, his heart was full of mockery and disdain: "Fooling with me? My trap is not something a fool like you can find."
However, just as he felt smug, an embarrassing scene unfolded.
Only to see Lin Yifan smash the seat with a punch, and then he found a modern circuit board and various devices.
"Hmph! Kid, playing with remote control devices with me; when I was messing with these gadgets, you probably didn't even know where to find milk," Lin Yifan said, his gaze turning icy, and with one kick, he sent the pendulum project manager flying.
With the force of his kick, the man probably had only half a life left in him.
In the moment when Lin Yifan got a hold of the circuit board, An Qi was completely dumbfounded, never having imagined that someone actually wanted to harm her, using such a method to kill through a proxy. If she didn't know Lin Yifan, if Lin Yifan hadn't become her bodyguard; right now, she didn't even know where she would be.
"Who is it? Who is so malicious as to want me dead? Could it be my uncle again?" An Qi dared not think further; the more she thought, the more terrified she became.
Zhou Jiajia was just as shocked; she never imagined that An Qi plummeting from the sky seemed to be an accident caused by mechanical failure, but in reality, it was a premeditated conspiracy.
She was very relieved that An Qi was unharmed, otherwise, the hidden enemy would have succeeded.
After kicking the pendulum project manager away, Lin Yifan walked over to the man who was lying on the ground, unable to move, and demanded, "Speak! Who sent you?"
"Poison Frog," the pendulum project manager whispered in Lin Yifan's ear; he then lay on the ground, waiting for rescue.
He knew that if he didn't speak, today he would have to forfeit his life right there; after all, premeditated murder was a serious crime.
"Again the Dagger Society, looks like I'll have to have a showdown with this mysterious gang," Lin Yifan's eyes gleamed with decisiveness, ready to confront this enigmatic association.
He then made a phone call to report to the police, handing over the evidence, and then took An Qi and Zhou Jiajia back to the Haunted House to settle accounts with the Haunted House's boss.
However, when they arrived, the owner of the Haunted House had long since vanished, and the Haunted House itself had closed down.
"Hmph! He sure ran fast," Lin Yifan snorted coldly.
He guessed that the moment the Haunted House owner saw An Qi emerge unscathed, he knew he was in trouble; so when they left, the Haunted House owner packed up and disappeared.
"Was the Haunted House owner also one of the people trying to ambush me?" An Qi asked in surprise.
When had she been in danger in the Haunted House, and how come she hadn't known about it?
"Yep! Just as we were about to exit, the bloody head that fell from the ceiling actually concealed a deadly threat; after it exploded and split open, a Silver Needle shot out, aiming straight for your forehead," Lin Yifan answered.
"There was such a thing? How come I didn't know?" An Qi was astonished and felt terrified.
"In that dim environment, how could you possibly see the needle, which was as fine as a hair?" Lin Yifan replied.
"So, how did you see it? And how did you manage to flick it away? Why didn't I see you make a move?" An Qi was full of confusion.
It was unimaginable that a casual outing could unravel so many calculated assassination attempts.
"I have the Heavenly Eye, which can see through all illusions; a mere Silver Needle cannot trouble me. As for how I flicked it away, I naturally used my Finger Flicking Magic," Lin Yifan boasted, mixing truth with fiction.
He absolutely couldn't tell An Qi about his "Divine Skill," otherwise she would take him for a fool.
"Have you been reading too many martial arts novels or something? Can't you be serious for once?" An Qi said with a speechless expression.
"I'm telling the truth, if you don't believe it, so be it," Lin Yifan said indifferently.
"Since you have the Heavenly Eye, can you tell what color of underwear I'm wearing today?" An Qi blushed as she asked.
Clearly, it had taken her a great deal of courage to say this.
Lin Yifan was shocked; he hadn't expected An Qi to ask such a private question. How embarrassed he felt!
Zhou Jiajia was also rendered speechless and then whispered in reproach, "An Qi, how can you ask such a question in front of a man?"
"Didn't he claim he has the Heavenly Eye? So I wanted him to prove it to me, to see if it's really as magical as he says," An Qi replied.
"I'm sorry, it was wrong of me to lie; just take it as a joke," Lin Yifan replied, sweating profusely.
He couldn't and didn't want to answer that question; because that would make him seem like a pervert or a creep.
"Weren't you so confident just now? How come you're apologizing all of a sudden?" An Qi smirked coldly.
Lin Yifan's tall tales were obviously just bluffs, so how could she believe them?
"Because I've encountered you, who are shamelessly thick-skinned," Lin Yifan said with a smile.
"You... you big pervert, you're insulting me again, go to hell!" An Qi was very angry and finished by kicking at Lin Yifan.
This scared Lin Yifan quite a bit, forcing him to immediately leap backward to dodge.
"You ungrateful little wretch, I just risked my life to save you, and now you want to hurt me; you really deserve a beating!"
