The Jade Pendant in Hand, Xiao Lin's Eyes Are Full of Rage

Gu Yan sighed and pointed at his face: "I went to pick up my friend who was lying in the hospital to go to work, but as soon as Xiao Lin saw me, he clenched his fist and charged at me."

"He was aiming for my head. If my friend hadn't blocked it for me, I probably wouldn't be standing here talking right now."

Hiss...

Chen Yingyin drew in a sharp breath. According to the doctor's examination, even Xiao Lin's restrained punch had nearly broken Wang Yulan's spine.

The force he had intended to use on Gu Yan would have been even greater.

It was obvious he wanted to kill Gu Yan!

Chen Yingyin thought about many things at once. Gu Yan was the young master of the Gu Family Group, and their only son.

It didn't seem impossible that his special status might attract some assassins.

But if they really wanted to kill Gu Yan, why did they let him go after injuring Wang Yulan?

Could the attacker have had some other purpose?

Chen Yingyin frowned deeply. Was this matter more complicated than she had initially thought?

But it didn't matter now.

She let out a soft sigh and comforted Gu Yan: "Don't be so anxious."

"Xiao Lin has committed attempted murder. It's not as simple as just going to jail."

Although Gu Yan had quite a bad reputation,

He had always followed her around calling her "sister" when they were young.

So she couldn't bring herself to be completely cold towards Gu Yan.

Moreover, Gu Yan had never actually done anything to her.

She was just somewhat disappointed in him. They had promised to become police officers together when they grew up.

In the end, only she had passed the police academy exam, while this guy skipped school and lived carefree.

"Thank you, Sister Yingyin. I knew you still cared about your little brother."

Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, a happy smile appearing on his face.

Seeing Gu Yan's sincere expression, Chen Yingyin was momentarily stunned. She felt a bit guilty about her previous cold attitude: "Well, I am your big sister after all."

Sigh, although his reputation was bad, Gu Yan hadn't really done anything to harm his family or society.

It seemed she would have to work on correcting his sycophantic personality in the future.

Just then, something unexpected happened.

Click! Click! Click!

All the lights went out, and everything suddenly became pitch black.

What's going on?!

Chen Yingyin jumped to her feet. She looked towards the surveillance monitors, which had gone completely dark. Her expression changed drastically.

"Not good!"

She muttered, heading towards the door of the duty room. As she was leaving, she reminded Gu Yan: "Stay here, don't come out no matter what."

"Something might have happened. If I'm not back in 10 minutes, call my dad and tell him to send reinforcements!"

With that, she grabbed her flashlight and service weapon and rushed out.

"Oh, okay, Sister Yingyin, be careful!"

Gu Yan waved, the corner of his mouth curling into a dangerous arc.

Too bad Chen Yingyin couldn't see it.

........

.......

In the prison cell, Xiao Lin was still immersed in self-doubt, not even noticing when the lights around him dimmed.

Suddenly, a chill crept into Xiao Lin's heart.

The next second.

An attack suddenly came at him from the darkness. His expression changed slightly as he instinctively dodged, hearing only a sharp whistling sound.

Whoosh!

The attack grazed his cheek, leaving a cold sensation.

Xiao Lin quickly sprang from the bed to the corner of the room, his eyes warily scanning the surroundings: "What's going on?"

His body was tense. The attack just now seemed to have appeared suddenly from the darkness.

Who is it?

Could it be...

A martial artist?!

Xiao Lin felt something wasn't right. Why would a martial artist appear here? And why target me?

On the ceiling.

Mei Xue was hanging upside down, looking down with cold eyes at the alert Xiao Lin.

Her ability reached a terrifying level in the darkness.

Even a grandmaster wouldn't be able to sense her presence, making it the perfect ability for assassination.

She slightly opened her palm, and a black dagger materialized from it.

Although Gu Yan had only told her to get the jade pendant from Xiao Lin's body, judging from the earlier probe...

She might be able to kill Xiao Lin just like this!

Killing the young master of the Dragon King Palace would surely make her master look at her differently!

The next second, she gripped the dagger tightly and swooped down.

On Xiao Lin's side, he was still on high alert when suddenly, a feeling welled up in his heart.

It was a feeling honed from years of fighting those monsters.

Without any hesitation, Xiao Lin leaped forward.

Bang!!

A violent sound erupted from where he had just been.

Having reached a safe position, Xiao Lin looked up to see a figure had smashed into the spot he had just occupied.

But quickly, that figure vanished like a shadow.

Shadow?!

Xiao Lin's training allowed him to react swiftly, focusing his senses to observe his surroundings.

It was indeed a martial artist, with an ability he had never seen before.

The tense atmosphere in the prison cell seemed to solidify in the air. Xiao Lin could feel something unusual.

He knew this was no ordinary attack.

Being arrested, the lights going out, an assassination attempt..........

This was a premeditated action!

"Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?"

Xiao Lin spoke while scanning his surroundings.

But unfortunately, he couldn't detect anyone's presence at all.

There was no answer. Mei Xue's figure appeared behind Xiao Lin like a ghost, emerging instantly from the darkness.

Her eyes revealed a hint of cruelty as the black dagger materialized in her hand once again.

She thrust it violently towards the back of Xiao Lin's head.

Got him!

Mei Xue's breathing quickened slightly.

However, it was as if Xiao Lin had sensed it. The moment Mei Xue's dagger was about to touch the back of his head, his body suddenly dodged to the side, successfully avoiding this fatal strike.

What?!

Mei Xue's eyes widened in shock. Before she could shadow-shift,

Bang!

Xiao Lin's right fist shot backwards, a layer of golden light condensing around his hand: "Ha!!"

Thud!

"Ugh!"

The fist slammed into Mei Xue's abdomen. She coughed up a mouthful of blood, her eyes filled with fear as she clutched her injured area and retreated back into the darkness.

Xiao Lin looked at the surroundings that had once again plunged into darkness and responded in a deep voice: "I don't know who you are or why you want to kill me, but I won't surrender without a fight."

He assumed a battle stance. Although he couldn't sense the attacker's aura, but......

He had already wounded the opponent.

Blood would be the best means of locating them.

In the shadows.

Mei Xue clutched her abdomen, enduring the intense pain without making a sound. Her eyes were filled with fear.

This is what a grandmaster is capable of. Even though he can't detect my presence, he can still sense and counterattack based on instinct.

Damn it.....

Just then.

A mocking voice came through Mei Xue's earpiece.

"Fool, I told you not to try and go toe-to-toe with him."

"In close combat, Xiao Lin's attack speed is the fastest and strongest."

"Now stick to the plan. Even if it wears your body out, you must force him to reveal half of the jade pendant."

"Otherwise, you can forget about seeing your brother again!"

The prison's surveillance power had been reconnected at some point.

Gu Yan watched the surveillance feed from the duty room with an expressionless face.

He had witnessed everything that had just happened, and Mei Xue's laughable behavior gave him an even deeper impression of her.

An arrogant woman.

"Yes...."

Mei Xue's eyes were filled with reluctance. As she listened to the voice in her earpiece, for some reason a sense of panic welled up in her heart.

It felt as if Leng Qingqiu was giving her orders.

She took a deep breath, using the power of darkness to seal her wound.

The scent of blood was masked. Xiao Lin frowned, once again on high alert after losing his means of locating the attacker.

The next second.

The same trick again, a sharp blade suddenly flashed out of the darkness.

Xiao Lin's form flickered. Hum!

A golden light emanated from his body. His right hand formed a claw, shifting between dragon claw and human hand: "The same move...."

His eyes focused as he struck towards the direction of the blade, growling, "Do you think I'll fall for it twice?!"

Boom!

Splat!

A crisp sound was heard along with a muffled groan. Shards from the broken blade flew towards Xiao Lin's cheek as Mei Xue was sent flying into a corner.

Xiao Lin tilted his head to avoid the shrapnel, the dragon claw aura on his hand dissipating: "Sorry, you missed."

However, in the next moment, the broken blade that had grazed his cheek suddenly changed direction, thrusting violently towards Xiao Lin's neck.

Clang!

The master's protective aura was instantly broken through.

Xiao Lin's expression changed as he swiftly dodged to one side.

Thud!

He steadied himself in a half-crouch, and a translucent, rope-bound half of a jade pendant with a dragon head shape bounced out from his neck.

Xiao Lin looked at the debris embedded in the ground, feeling a lingering fear: "So the target was my neck."

To think that such an attack could penetrate his master-level protection?

Could the attacker also be a master?

In the monitoring room, when the half jade pendant was seen,

Gu Yan's lips curled slightly upward as he picked up his phone and said calmly, "Proceed."

The next second.

Bang bang bang!!!

All the lights turned on.

On Xiao Lin's side, just as he was about to investigate his would-be killer, the sudden illumination dazzled his eyes.

He instinctively closed them for 0.1 seconds.

And in that 0.1 second,

A figure dressed in black appeared instantly beside Xiao Lin, thrusting a hand towards his chest.

Xiao Lin sensed the powerful aura and, startled, quickly moved to protect his chest.

However, the attack suddenly changed course, instead grabbing for the jade pendant on Xiao Lin's neck.

Snap!!

With a crisp sound of the rope breaking, the black-clad figure snatched the jade pendant and threw it towards a corner.

Not good!! The target is my jade pendant?!

Xiao Lin's eyes bulged as he ignored the black-clad figure beside him and rushed towards where the pendant had been thrown.

However, Mei Xue had been waiting there all along. The moment she got the pendant, she vanished into the darkness.

Xiao Lin couldn't find his pendant. He turned back to look at the black-clad figure.

Only to see that they had also disappeared.

!!

"Arghhhhhh!!!"

Xiao Lin's eyes instantly flashed with rage as he slammed his fist into the floor tiles. Bang!

Spider-web cracks appeared in an instant.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it all!!"

This was the first time since coming to the mortal world that Xiao Lin had felt such a strong desire to kill.
