The Assassination Failed
‘Boom! Bang! Boom!’ The sounds of gunfire sweep over. There is also sound of glass broken.
They break in! Xiaoxiao frowns. Isn’t Xuanyuan Lie worried? She takes a glance up at him, whose mouth curls in a smile.
The smile of Satan!
These are the first words emerging in her mind. What a horrible man!
She follows Xuanyuan Lie out of the room. Standing at the second floor to look to the living room, they find it already in a mess. The table is broken. Glass pieces are on the grounds. A dozen of men in black suit gather in the living room, but there isn’t a single maid there. Usually, there are twenty to thirty maids on duty!
“I didn’t expect guests this late.” Xuanyuan Lie starts talking.
All the killers downstairs look up. The sight of Xuanyuan Lie makes them realize that their assassination failed! Then…they decide to kill him head-on!
One of the men in black burst out a metal thread from the apparatus on his waist. The thread then inserts into the railing on the second floor. The man jumps up and flies toward Xuanyuan Lie.
Professional equipment! Xiaoxiao takes a glance at the man and then at Xuanyuan Lie, who still looks calm. Is he really not anxious facing a man flying to him? She takes a thorough glance at him and finds he even doesn’t have a pistol.
The killer is visibly getting closer and closer. The next second, he will be at Lie’s face!
Just in the nick of time, two figures flash over, treading on the railing with two light machine guns on their shoulder. Bang, bang, bang! A burst of shooting at the flying killer!
Maids! The sudden appearing figures are two maids.
The flying killer falls down from the midair to the ground, getting only one shoot. It seems he’s no ordinary killer!
At this moment, a group of maids show up, besieging the whole lobby. Some of them carry light machine guns, some pistols, and one even a heavy machine gun! All of the maids are here. With such equipment, they can blow this mansion up!
No wonder Xuanyuan Lie shows no worry. He’s well prepared. More surprising is the maids. They look just like ordinary people, but in fact each and every one of them is extraordinary.
The eight killers are all dumbfounded the moment the maids appear.
Xiaoxiao takes a glance at Xuanyuan Lie from the corner of her eyes. It seems, there’s going to be a fierce fighting…
“Xiao Mu.” Xuanyuan Lie suddenly glances at Xiaoxiao.
The two pairs of eyes momentarily meet with each other. Xiaoxiao is speechless for a while because of his gaze.
His icy lips move, “Show me what you have. Deal with these people, you alone.”
What?
She pauses for quite a while after hearing his words, “You mean, I alone deal with all of them?”
“Yes, and keep them alive.” His voice is heart-penetratingly cold.
Holy heaven. She wants to wipe sweat. They’re eight professional killers. He lets her not only fight with them on her own but also keep them all alive. Is his aim to exhaust her?
She brows furrow, looking up at him, and finds only chill in his dark eyes. Maomao… Thinking of her son, she bites her teeth in determination, “Yes, lord!”
Without further hesitation, she even doesn’t ask for any equipment and directly jumps off the second floor. Feet fall on the ground. The moment she gains balance, one knee gets up, bending to grab the flying killer’s head and slamming it hard onto the ground. She’s really fast with unpredictable moves! Fresh blood sprays all over. The killer passes out immediately.
Upstairs, a trace of surprise shimmers in Xuanyuan Lie’s eyes. He merely wanted to see the real power of this woman. Now, obviously, it’s beyond his expectation.
All the killers rush over to Xiaoxiao.
She leaps up to midair, parting two legs, and places them on the shoulders of two people, doing the splits in the air.
The two men are astonished. Looking at each other, they decide to shake Xiaoxiao off their shoulders. However, as her ankles flexibly twist, their necks are hooked by her feet. Xiaoxiao steps up the strength in her ankles. As she pulls herself up, the two people are dragged together.
‘Boom!’ The two heads smash against each other.
Xiaoxiao has already jumped away. The other killers aren’t pushovers either. At a time, bullets and hidden weapons are shot at her like a storm.
Swish… She does a few somersaults in a row to avoid the bullets while kicking away other hidden weapons coming at her. Then she finally falls onto the ground! Without halt, she heads for the two head-smashed killers again. Because she knows that when fighting with a greater number of rivals, the best strategy is to deal with them one by one.
Undoubtedly, they are professional killers, yet, what they encounter is a more professional one. The fight lasts an entire hour.
Seven of them already lie on the ground, all suffering heavy hit in the head. Now there is only one left.
Xiaoxiao is gasping. When she can’t kill them, she has to consume much physical energy in the fight. She’s not strong enough. The hurt in the back shoulder suggests a crack in her former wound.
“Come on.” She grits her teeth to swallow the pain, raising her fists in a boxing posture.
The killer drops the pistol in his hand and pulls out a jagged long knife. In a powerful wave, he dashes at Xiaoxiao.
As the two are going to confront each other…
‘Boom!’ A sound of gunshot. The bullet is precisely inserted into the place between the killer’s eyebrows! The long knife drops to the ground with a bang. The killer’s body turns powerless and descents to the ground.
Xiaoxiao is a little stunned. Who did that? One of the maids? She looks back and sees Xuanyuan Lie holding a silver pistol in his hand. It was him?
Xuanyuan Lie slowly withdraws the gun and says to the maids by him, “Send them to the cellar.”
Staring at him, Xiaoxiao feels something deep down. Why did he help her?
At this moment, the dark eyes are cast onto Xiaoxiao downstairs, “Take care of your back wound. Done tonight.” Then, he still takes a glance from his eye corners at her back shoulder before he leaves.
The maids put down their weapons and begin to clean up the aftermath. Xiaoxiao drags herself upstairs, goes back to her room, locks up the door and takes off her shirt.
Her shirt on the back is soaked with blood. It seems the wound has a big crack. Huh, it hurts…
Now Xuanyuan Lie sits on the sofa, placing his cheek on his fist. Though it takes one hour for the woman to deal with all the eight killers, her moves are precise and all hitting on head. Hehe, head is a human’s most vulnerable part. If this woman is equipped with weapons, supposedly she only needs twenty minutes. The strategy of hitting head makes her like a killer. Yet, a top-level killer.
Xiao Mu, what’s your real purpose to dress up as a man and be my driver?
The dark eyes flash with chill…
The living room that was messed up by those cryptic killers last night restores its tidiness now. This should be done by the maids. Xuanyuan Lie’s home is becoming more and more unfathomable.
Until this moment does she realize what it means by “nothing ventured, nothing gained”. The exploration in Xuanyuan Lie’s house is indeed a venture.
