44: Chapter 44 Aunt 44: Chapter 44 Aunt Du Ya’s death meant the remaining assassins were no longer a threat, but to Ye Shikai’s surprise, they didn’t become scared birds.
Even when their leader was killed, they maintained a stable formation and no one retreated.
Ye Shikai frowned, realizing these weren’t just assassins, but Death Soldiers.
However, to Ye Shikai, this was futile.
Discarding Du Ya’s body, he stepped forward like a tiger diving into a flock of sheep, charging at the group of assassins.
Picking up a dagger from a corpse, the assassins turned their guns towards Ye Shikai as he rushed towards them, bullets escaping the chambers.
Ye Shikai chuckled coldly.
At such a close distance, a dagger was far more flexible and threatening than a submachine gun.
A simple slash across an opponent’s throat with his Inner Strength could end a life in an instant.
His dagger in hand, like the scythe of the Death God, claimed a life with every strike.
Ye Shikai thrust the dagger into the last assassin’s chest.
Looking around, he took a deep breath, relieved it was over.
Now it was time to wait for Lin Dong to wrap things up.
Luo Shiqi stepped out of the private box, her complexion turning pale at the sight of the corpses.
She hadn’t expected so many assassins to come after her, especially on her own turf.
If it weren’t for Ye Shikai’s timely warning, she would have been caught off-guard.
Seeing the blood-soaked Ye Shikai, Luo Shiqi hurriedly grabbed his hands, her eyes filled with tenderness, “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine.” Ye Shikai, looking at the blood on himself, quickly explained, “This is the assassins’ blood.” Ye Shikai felt helpless.
Once he got going with the knife, it was like a whirlwind, cleaner and more ruthless than using a gun.
Five minutes later, a fully armed SWAT team arrived at the bar entrance, led by Captain Lin of the Yanjing SWAT Division.
Even the well-trained officers were shocked by the carnage inside the bar.
Ye, what exactly happened here?” Even Lin Dong, a veteran of the battlefield, was disturbed by the scene.
“These were assassins here for an assassination, but I’ve taken care of them all,” Ye Shikai remarked nonchalantly.
Lin Dong wasn’t surprised, having seen Ye Shikai single-handedly defeat numerous assassins before.
He gestured to his men to dispose of the bodies quickly.
After all, this was Yanjing, and daylight shootings would panic anyone.
Fortunately, bystanders thought they were filming a movie, so Lin Dong announced it as an on-set accident.
“Miss Luo, we meet again.
Ye to ask me to come to your rescue,” Lin Dong said, approaching Luo Shiqi with a barely noticeable teasing tone.
He would have been reluctant to come if he knew he was coming to rescue Luo Shiqi.
“It seems Captain Lin isn’t too happy to be here,” Luo Shiqi, seasoned in the underworld, quickly caught the subtext in Lin Dong’s words.
“Uncle, I’m here; are you okay?” Suddenly, a voice rose from behind the crowd, and a petite figure dashed towards him.
It was none other than Han Ruoyao, the little enchantress.
Seeing Ye Shikai covered in blood, she nearly burst into tears and lunged to hug him tightly, “Yaoyao, there are so many eyes on us, what are you doing?”
“Wuu, Uncle, are you okay?” Han Ruoyao, seeing the blood, was scared Ye Shikai was seriously injured.
“I’m fine.” Ye Shikai pointed to the bloodstains, indicating he wasn’t hurt, “Wuu,” Luo Shiqi buried her face in his chest, sobbing.
Ye Shikai was at a loss—after assuring her he was fine, why was she crying even harder?
“Uncle, you called for me because of her?” After a while, Han Ruoyao raised her head and pointed accusingly at Luo Shiqi not far away, her face filled with discontent.
“You little girl, are you unhappy to rescue me?
Do you feel it’s unfair to save your aunt?”
“What, why would I call you aunt?”
“If you call my man uncle, doesn’t that make me your aunt?” Hearing this, both Ye Shikai and Han Ruoyao stood frozen.
The logic seemed sound, yet how did he suddenly become her man?
“Come on, be good, call me aunt.” Luo Shiqi reached out her fair palm, aiming to pat Han Ruoyao’s chin.
“Ptui ptui ptui, I will not call you aunt.
I am Uncle’s girlfriend,” Han Ruoyao snapped back to reality, brushed Luo Shiqi’s hand away, and clung possessively to Ye Shikai’s arm.
Ye, please come with us to the station.
We’d like to get a clear understanding of the situation,” Captain Lin approached the three and said.
“Sure, I’ll accompany you,” Ye Shikai agreed readily, glancing at Luo Shiqi, who nodded slightly.
After all, this was a serious matter.
On the car ride, sitting next to Ye Shikai, Luo Shiqi asked suddenly, “By the way, how did you know my sister would be assassinated today?” She had been so focused on the assassins she nearly forgot to ask.
Without Ye Shikai’s prophecy, she would have faced major trouble today.
Ye Shikai felt a bit helpless, unsure how to explain, and ended up stammering, “Actually… It’s something I dreamed about.”
