35: Chapter 35: Scars All Over the Body 35: Chapter 35: Scars All Over the Body The night had fallen, and after Lin Shuang had dropped off Su Wanqiao, he took a long time to return to his dilapidated rental house.
He lived in a decrepit little rental, and upon arriving home, Lin Shuang immediately closed the door, stripped off his clothes, and prepared to take a shower before going to bed.
At the same time Lin Shuang had just entered his house, downstairs in the rental building.
In the cover of darkness, two BMW sedans slowly pulled up to the curb.
From the BMWs, eight men dressed in black suits exchanged glances and then nodded to one another.
They had been stealthily following, trailing Lin Shuang to the building where he lived.
Now, they were ready to make their move.
The eight men slowly got out of the cars, each holding a newspaper-rolled tube, within which…
were concealed sharp machetes.
The eight assassins silently made their way upstairs, sneaking up to the door of Lin Shuang’s rental without a sound.
Without a peep, the eight assassins slowly jimmied the rental’s door lock open with a piece of wire.
The door was gently pushed open, and the eight hitmen simultaneously drew out the machetes hidden in their newspapers.
They infiltrated the house, only to find no one in the living room?
Only a sound of running water came from the bathroom?
It seemed someone was taking a shower?
The assassins exchanged glances and slowly approached the direction of the bathroom.
Meanwhile, inside the bathroom, Lin Shuang turned on the faucet and hummed a tune while showering.
“Ring, ring.” Suddenly, the ringtone of a cellphone placed beside the windowsill went off.
Lin Shuang was startled and picked it up to see, a call from Su Wanqiao?
What was this woman doing calling him so late at night?
Lin Shuang answered the phone with confusion, “Director Su, not sleeping so late?
On the other end of the phone, Su Wanqiao spoke in an icy voice, “Don’t flatter yourself.
I’m calling to remind you that the pretense of us being a couple at the banquet earlier…
Don’t go babbling about it to others.
It was just an act, and I hope you don’t take it seriously.”
Lin Shuang curled his lips, “Director Su, you’re calling me this late just to remind me of this?”
On the other end, Su Wanqiao spoke solemnly, “Yes, watch your mouth and don’t spout nonsense or the consequences will be very serious.”
Su Wanqiao didn’t forget to throw in a cold threat at the end of the call.
Lin Shuang was somewhat speechless; this woman…
was taking herself too seriously, wasn’t she?
“Rest assured, I couldn’t be bothered to blab about it, besides, I’m not even interested in you,” Lin Shuang replied with a curl of his lip.
He spoke the truth; although Su Wanqiao was beautiful, could beauty be eaten as food?
Over the years, Lin Shuang had countless admirers overseas, and even Asian pop divas had actively pursued him, to no avail.
The princesses of Dubai’s royal family, the holy maidens of Sakurajima…
all had chased after Lin Shuang, and all had been rejected by him.
No woman had ever caught Lin Shuang’s eye.
Except for that little girl from twenty years ago…
But Lin Shuang’s words…
had infuriated Su Wanqiao over the phone line, “You…
Lin Shuang reacted swiftly, snatching up a bath towel to wrap around his lower body.
“Who?” Lin Shuang looked towards the bathroom door.
In front of the bathroom door stood eight assassins, each holding a machete!
At that moment, those eight assassins were staring at Lin Shuang with fierce gazes.
The eyes of the assassins narrowed slightly…
Because they saw Lin Shuang’s uncovered upper body…
was densely covered with scars!
Bullet wounds, knife scars, burn marks…
all crisscrossing each other.
Seeing those gruesome and terrifying scars…
the assassins’ faces were filled with shock!
Why did this man have so many scars?!
Was he also from the rivers and lakes?!
Only seasoned hitmen…
would have such terrifying scars!
Moreover, judging by the dense scars covering this man, his level as a hitman was probably not low!
“Kill…!” One of the assassins moved first, stepping forward and slashing his machete towards Lin Shuang!
Bai Gongzi had ordered that whoever killed Lin Shuang would be rewarded with ten million!
For money, they were willing to go all out!
Yet, Lin Shuang was faster than the assassin.
In a flash, he grabbed a toothbrush nearby and threw it with precision!
“Psh!” Accompanied by a sound of flesh being pierced.
The assassin who had charged forward clutched his throat, unable to believe he was falling to the ground.
A toothbrush was still lodged in the assassin’s neck.
Before dying, the assassin couldn’t believe he had been killed by a toothbrush?
The rest of the assassins’ faces turned pale with terror!
This man was so formidable?!
The remaining seven assassins, faces ferocious, surged forward in unison!
Lin Shuang delivered a kick, sending one flying.
He ducked their attacks in a flash, and with a quick grip on another’s neck, exerted a slight force!
The man’s neck was instantly broken.
Bang!” Muffled sounds kept resonating inside the bathroom!
In the blink of an eye, seven of the assassins had been taken down.
Only one remained standing, trembling at the site of what had unfolded.
In less than a minute…
seven of his comrades had been eliminated?
Why is it so noisy??” The voice of Su Wanqiao came through the phone.
The woman hadn’t hung up yet and was now asking in surprise.
Outside the bathroom, the last surviving assassin turned and bolted!
