Chapter 672: Chapter 699 Sniped (1)
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xi couldn’t help but exude a hint of murderous aura. Luckily, the classroom was empty; otherwise, under his intimidating presence, except for Peng Bo and the other two, everyone else might have knelt.
After leaving the classroom, he headed straight to the school gate.
At this moment, he saw Master Li with the small black car, squatting on the ground smoking and chatting with other drivers. After all, it was early in the morning, and students were either sleeping or in class, with hardly anyone at the gate.
Lin Xi approached and said, "Master Li, are you free?"
Master Li turned around and saw that it was Lin Xi, immediately stood up and replied hurriedly that he was indeed free.
That attitude was akin to a student seeing the class teacher approaching and talking to them during self-study.
After all, if it weren’t for Lin Xi last time, he would have been in big trouble.
Moreover, Lin Xi was clearly not an ordinary person; having the chance to cozy up to him, Master Li was desperate for it.
Once inside the car, Master Li didn’t make small talk with Lin Xi, but drove seriously, heading to the destination as fast as possible.
The more he knew about Lin Xi, the more respect and awe he felt.
He also understood that working for someone like Lin Xi required diligence; there should be no unnecessary talk, or one day when Lin Xi is in a bad mood, you might end up reaping a bad outcome instead of benefits.
Even though he felt Lin Xi didn’t seem like that kind of person from his demeanor and tone, what if, by chance?
Sitting in the back seat, Lin Xi was unaware of Master Li’s thoughts. If he knew, he wouldn’t say much, because if he said, "do things as before," Master Li might overthink it.
Rather than that, it’s better not to speak at all.
The recent call was from the ace Assassin mentioned by Ding Yueqiu, demanding Lin Xi go to the specified location immediately and not bring anyone, or Ding Yueqiu would die!
Lin Xi simply replied with a "seeking death" and hung up.
Threats didn’t have any effect on him.
Once the location was confirmed, there was nothing he couldn’t handle.
Master Li’s driving speed was indeed fast, taking shortcuts through South City as if he were intimately familiar with the area.
As a result, he drove in under half an hour what would take others nearly an hour.
At a crossroads, Lin Xi asked Master Li to stop. He got out there and told Master Li to wait for him.
From Lin Xi’s expression, Master Li could tell something was up and asked, "Brother Lin, do you need help or anything?"
He regretted it as soon as he spoke.
If Lin Xi couldn’t solve it, then what could he do?
Lin Xi shook his head, indicating no need.
In the next instant, Master Li watched as Lin Xi swiftly headed down a small path.
In a slight daze, Lin Xi’s silhouette vanished.
"Uh!"
If Master Li hadn’t interacted with Lin Xi several times before, he surely would have been startled.
Because that path stretched several hundred meters, and Lin Xi was walking, not running, looking like an average walking speed.
But in the blink of an eye, he disappeared entirely.
That speed was terrifying, especially since Master Li encountered Fierce Ghost just a few days ago!
Master Li couldn’t help but wonder, "Brother Lin’s strength is so strong, able to scatter even ghosts; surely nothing can trouble him!"
"Hmm, I’ll just wait here at ease."
A few hundred meters away, Lin Xi stood beside an abandoned wooden house, looking towards a place about six to seven hundred meters away, where there was a two-story abandoned factory.
The six to seven hundred meters was a stretch of waist-high wild grass.
At this moment, Lin Xi did not move forward, but checked the location on his phone, confirming the ace Assassin’s designated address was indeed this spot before walking onward.
However, after barely walking ten meters, he felt a sharp pain between his brows, lightly moved his lips and said, "It feels like being targeted by a sniper rifle!"
Such a feeling was familiar to him, often encountered in chaotic regions.
