Chapter 977 946: The Assassin

With great tacit understanding, the two people, one slipped into the bathroom while the other put away the short dagger in hand and opened the door.

"Francis? What brings you here so late?"

"Sorry to disturb your rest, but Jessica and I are preparing to go home, so we wanted to say goodbye to you and Mr. Hua, but he's not in his room, so..."

"Oh, it's the beautiful sister Francis. I was just having tea and chatting with my brother!" Hua Qingyi had already changed into a bathrobe, his hair wet as he emerged from the bathroom. His slightly flushed cheeks made his watery eyes appear even more enchanting. "Why are you leaving so soon? It's the middle of the night."

"Yes, someone from home came to pick us up. We didn't want to leave without saying goodbye, so we came to disturb you."

"Oh, that's really a shame. I wanted to ask you to be our guides again tomorrow; it seems there's no hope!" Hua Qingyi showed a disappointed expression.

"If you don't mind, could you wait here for two days? I think we'll meet again!" His hopeful gaze met Xiao Lin's, the urgency in his eyes seeming to convey a message.

"Francis, we have to go!" Someone shouted from downstairs, Xiao Lin remained silent throughout.

"Oh, okay, sorry for the disturbance!" The injured girl quickly turned and left, Xiao Lin closed the door.

"Once they're gone, it's time for us to get to work." Xiao Lin packed simple clothes into a bag, tidied up his gear, and hid behind the curtains.

One after another, the two young girls sat into the black sedan. Once the important figures left, the opponent would act immediately, Hua Qingyi understood and dashed out of the room.

"Who sent you!" Xiao Lin pointed the short dagger at the shadow's brow, the other reacted so quickly, he began to worry about Hua Qingyi.

A sweeping kick, the repressed shadow was not ordinary, he fired a shot at the ground, taking advantage to sweep his right leg as Xiao Lin dodged, throwing himself forward.

A blasting sound came from next door, Xiao Lin's eyes widened, murderous intent arose in his hands, the wall half collapsed but no figure was seen. "Damn!" He cursed and dove through.

The loud noise woke other guests who rushed out their doors, and soon sirens began to blare.

"Qing Yi!" Xiao Lin searched for Hua Qingyi's figure in Hua Qingyi's room, they had to leave before the police arrived.

"Brother, I'm here!" Hua Qingyi was pinned under a cabinet, a triangular area formed by the solid wood wardrobe and the wall, blocking the fallen concrete.

"Are you hurt? Can you walk?"

"No problem!" Xiao Lin moved the cabinet aside and pulled Hua Qingyi out. Two police cars had already driven onto the street, stopping under their hotel, Xiao Lin glanced outside. "Take the high route." Saying so, he was already climbing out the window.

The youth hostel was only five stories high with a safety escape route beside the wall for fires or emergencies.

Bang bang! Two gunshots fired from above, forcing Hua Qingyi, who was close behind Xiao Lin, to retreat into the room. The horizontal crawling person leapt up, grabbed the third-floor window ledge, and climbed up, finding no one in the dark window, he dove in and dashed up the stairs to the top.

The second floor of the hotel was completely sealed off, police set up a barricade outside their room to investigate the explosion inside, very soon the bullet holes would be discovered, Xiao Lin had no time to continue entangling with the opponent, he hid behind a water tower and approached the wall they had stayed in, bullets had been fired from this spot.

Upon movement, a fierce gust of fist wind attacked him from behind, forcing Xiao Lin back into a corner, this person wasn't the one who had attacked him earlier, Xiao Lin could sense the opponent's force through their aggressive moves, completely different from the person in the room before.

Putting aside worry about Hua Qingyi's condition, Xiao Lin shook his hands, right foot stepping steadily to the side, waiting for the opponent's first wave of attack.

The truth was, the opponent lacked patience, charging in as soon as Xiao Lin steadied his stance, the hand-and-foot combat style added quite a bit of momentum, under defense, Xiao Lin pushed two meters away, then stepped forward again, right foot steady at the center, put away the short dagger to use palm and fist, seeing the opponent attack toward below, a loud roar jumped up, right leg bent to knee, met the left fist head-on.

Stunned by the powerful collision, the opponent flew backward, at that moment Xiao Lin had already reached him, five fingers stretched down to clutch his shoulder, yanking him up and throwing him into the air.

Cracking sound, the man screamed miserably, his entire shoulder having been forcibly snapped, flesh and skin gouged by where fingers held, revealing white bone.

The man fell into a pool of blood, no longer able to fight back, Xiao Lin moved forward to question but heard the iron door being smashed open, several uniformed policemen rushed in, guns raised.

"Don't move, hands on your head!"

Xiao Lin glanced at the person on the ground, turned and ran, a policeman fired at him chasing. "Don't move, or I'll shoot!"

A warning shouted, Xiao Lin flipped off the rooftop.

"OH! God! He jumped!" A policeman couldn't believe his eyes, the fifth floor, at least more than a dozen meters high, jumping off like that would be crippling if not dead. "Is he crazy?" Shouting while reaching the edge, another policeman looking down. "Oh god, he's gone!"

No trace of anyone on the ground, the two exchanged glances and rushed downstairs, leaving another to guard the injured and notify for medical assistance.

Xiao Lin clutched the protruding window ledge, toe pressed in the bricks' crevice, hanging between the third and fourth floor, incredibly dangerous! Listening to the policemen's loud yelling above, he maintained his balance breathing heavily, more police cars gathered below, with them surrounded like this, escape seemed impossible.

A hand suddenly grabbed Xiao Lin's wrist, the person hanging on the window struggled. "Shh, it's me!" Hua Qingyi leaned out half his body looking down. "I'll pull you up."

With the pull, Xiao Lin jumped into the room, sitting on the floor panting. "These police have absolutely no sense of safety, shooting whenever they wish is truly inhumane!" Xiao Lin glanced around the room's layout, no different from where they had stayed.

Hua Qingyi closed the window and sat beside him. "Guests checked out this morning, no new occupants yet; it won't be long before the police trace here."

No sooner spoken footsteps could be heard in the hallway, Xiao Lin pursed his lips and vanished.

"Sir, here's no guests staying, checking every room like this impacts my business." The owner followed the policeman, looking distressed.

"We suspect terrorists are hidden here, continue obstructing our search and you'll be charged as an accomplice. Open the door!"

Upon hearing the policeman, the owner dared not make a sound, took out keys to unlock the door. "There's no occupant here, you can search but don't damage anything inside or I'll complain."

Two policemen walked in, switched on the lights illuminating the room! The youth hostel was for offering travelers the cheapest stay, the room was small with nothing but a restroom, easy to see all the furnishings at a glance under the light.

"There's really nothing here!" The owner leaned against the door, shouting at a policeman heading toward the bathroom.

The doorknob twisted, bathtub and shower clean as new, toiletries orderly on the countertop, no trace of use on the bed. "Alright, next room!"

Lights turned off, Xiao Lin and Hua Qingyi emerged from the wardrobe's partition. "Who knew bulky antique furniture could serve this function, when I get back I'll have a set just for my room." Hua Qingyi joked.

"Know who's behind it?"

"They set bombs in my room, then moved into the next room to assassinate, I entered after Jessica's group left, within an hour, could it be Genovis? His pampering his daughter is well-known!"

"It's not them!" Xiao Lin recalled the assassin on the roof, almost seeing his face. "There's more than one killer here, the one I met on the rooftop is formidable. Their aim was to kill us outright, if it was Genovis, action would have been taken when Francis came to say goodbye, not an hour later." (To be continued.
