How insane must one’s skills and strength be to reach such a level?
Furthermore, was she the reincarnation of the dog god? How could she identify the poison on the dart and its function just by smelling it?
Ling Pinyuan started to compare Zhong Nuannuan to an existence similar to an oasis from afar but muddy up close. As you walked deeper, you would soon find yourself in a bottomless swamp that could swallow people whole without any bones left—a man-eating swamp that not even bubbles could escape.
Luo Mengying’s eyes widened into two huge beans. She could not believe that a weapon meticulously crafted by a top-notch mechanic in their organization would be useless against Zhong Nuannuan!
When Selina heard what Zhong Nuannuan said, she mulled it over before asking, “Big Boss, why does this poison sound so familiar? This poison… You’re the one who developed it, right?”
Zhong Nuannuan was surprised by Selina’s words. “How rare of you to remember such trivia!”
Ling Pinyuan, “…!!!”
Luo Mengying, “…!!!” There was some matter that she was not sure if she should mention there. However, even if she said it out loud, the idiot in the organization who gave her the poison like it was some stupid absolute top secret sh*t would never hear her.
Luo Mengying’s eyes flickered for a moment before she suddenly made a move and grabbed Ling Pinyuan.
Ling Pinyuan was a member of the special forces and she had been on three missions with Chi Yang.
Even so, Ling Pinyuan was only an ordinary soldier in Jiang District’s special forces. No matter how impressive she was, she could only be impressive among ordinary soldiers in the special forces.
Meanwhile, an assassin like Luo Mengying, who had been sent out on a high-ranking mission to assassinate high-ranking officers, was at least Rank-S. In other words, Luo Mengying was much stronger than the two mercenaries from the Giltash Mercenary Organization.
In this world, any assassin or mercenary who could be classified as Rank-S was usually placed on the red list[1] by various countries because such people were too dangerous.
Therefore, Ling Pinyuan was subdued by Luo Mengying before she could even attempt to retaliate.
“Don’t move, or I’ll kill her!”
As soon as she said that, the ladies who did not witness the exchange between Luo Mengying and Zhong Nuannuan clearly finally realized what was going on and confirmed their guesses. They screamed and tried to escape.
“Get in the car!”
Yang Min shouted and led the ladies towards the Lamborghini that housed Old Master Chi.
The ladies knew how capable Zhong Nuannuan was. Since she wanted to protect the car that Grandpa Chi Yang was in, she would definitely protect them. Hence, getting into the car now was the best way to avoid the killer.
Bang!
Just as Yang Min ran over and attempted to pull the car door open, Zhong Nuannuan mercilessly opened fire at Yang Min’s forehead.
Meanwhile, Yang Min, who was supposed to be shot, dodged it at an alarming speed.
“Argh!”
After seeing Zhong Nuannuan open fire, the wealthy ladies were confused and thought that Zhong Nuannuan was also one of the killers. They started fleeing in all directions.
Since their legs had turned to jelly, they did not run far. They could only hide behind other cars and tremble in fear.
Soon, only Zhong Nuannuan, Selina, Ling Pinyuan, Yang Min, and Luo Mengying were left in the empty hall.
Zhong Nuannuan looked at Yang Min and sneered, “Not bad.”
Yang Min also switched out of her sickly appearance and smirked, “I should be the one saying that to you. You’re not bad yourself. Not only did you discover Luo Mengying in time, you’ve also discovered me.”
