When Qing Yinqi’s name was mentioned, the assassin’s face suddenly changed.
Lin Beichen was particularly sensitive to killing intent.
Upon hearing Qing Yinqi’s name, the killing intent from the man instantly locked onto Qing Yinqi, losing interest in him instead.
"Could it be that I’m just a smokescreen, and they are actually trying to create chaos through me, with the real target being Qing Yinqi?"
Lin Beichen’s eyebrows had just furrowed, but they immediately relaxed.
Whatever he intended to do, encountering him would only be a waste of effort.
"Senior, what should we do now?"
Qing Yinqi’s pretty face turned pale, and her small hands gripped Lin Beichen’s arm tightly, her voice trembling slightly.
No matter how famous she was outside, without the aura, she was still just a new university student.
She would panic in the face of chaos, lose sleep under pressure.
And she would be just as scared when facing an assassin.
If it wasn’t for Lin Beichen’s protection, she would have been trampled by the crowded people.
"Miss Qing, I am a specially appointed instructor of the official security team. I am here to protect you. Please listen to my next words carefully.
The assassin across from you is called Bai Mian, a professional underground assassin. According to official and black market records, he has at least 30 lives on his hands."
The woman held a Silver Needle in one hand, and her other hand slowly moved to her waist.
At her waist hung her ID, as well as a gun.
"Miss Qing, for your safety, please come to my side immediately, or I cannot guarantee your safety."
The woman said coldly, her hand already on the gun’s muzzle.
Qing Yinqi nodded instinctively.
The woman’s serious attitude and meticulous expression gave her a great sense of security.
At this moment, she even felt that the woman gave her more security than Lin Beichen.
"Protection?"
The assassin suddenly sneered and swiftly dove into the crowd.
His figure flickered back and forth in the crowd, and threads unexpectedly appeared between his hands.
In the wind’s whistle, these threads entangled with each other and rushed towards Qing Yinqi in an instant.
Cold light shimmered on the threads, like specially made deadly threads.
If these hit Qing Yinqi, even if they did not hit vital points, they would affect her mobility.
In such a chaotic crowd, any injury would greatly impact her escape.
"Be careful!"
The woman was shocked, not expecting the assassin to recklessly attempt to assassinate Qing Yinqi.
She quickly drew her gun, about to pull the trigger, but found it was already too late.
As she spoke, several other assassins had already closed in nearby.
Three of them rushed towards Qing Yinqi, while two others aimed at the woman.
How did they get guns?
The woman’s mind went blank.
The Dragon Country’s gun control was always very strict with civilians absolutely prohibited from owning guns, making it impossible for ordinary people to access firearms.
Yet, all these assassins had guns. Something was definitely off.
"You bitch, go to hell!"
The assassin screamed, his face twisted in rage.
He could have completed the task silently, but now it was in such a mess.
After killing the target, he still had to cut off their head as proof; otherwise, the job wouldn’t count even if he succeeded in the kill.
And it was all because of this suddenly appearing female bodyguard.
Just as he was about to pull the trigger, the silent young man standing beside Qing Yinqi suddenly raised his hand.
The necks of the three assassins rushing towards Qing Yinqi twisted, and with a series of cracking sounds, they all fell dead instantly with broken necks.
At the same time, the muzzle aimed at the woman was seemingly diverted by a gust of wind, deviating a few centimeters.
The silenced guns fired bullets, all shooting into the air, not harming the woman at all.
This sudden change left everyone stunned.
The remaining assassins looked at Lin Beichen in shock.
What just happened?
What exactly had occurred?
Three skilled companions were down in an instant after they engaged.
From a distance, they couldn’t see what had happened, and could only look at their fallen colleagues.
Bai Ying stood there, looking at his gun in disbelief.
He rarely missed a shot, and just now he was only ten meters away from the woman. How did he miss at such close range?
"Brother, the underworld has its rules. Coming between someone’s payday is bound to make enemies!"
Seeing everyone confused about what had just happened, a pale-faced man stepped out slowly, staring coldly at Lin Beichen.
"The Yanrain Tower has business, someone wants this chick dead. If you don’t want trouble, just leave."
"Yanrain Tower? Never heard of it."
Lin Beichen said casually, his perception focused on the last assassin.
This assassin was the strangest.
When Lin Beichen sensed others, their energies were bright as fireworks, whether killing intent or their presence, both were intense.
But this one, his presence was almost non-existent.
No matter how hard Lin Beichen focused, this person appeared as an ordinary man in his perception.
This degree of aura concealment was highly advanced.
In terms of this technique alone, Lin Beichen even suspected that not even Qin Wenwu could match him.
This person suppressed his energy in his Dantian, with a sense of erupting power waiting to be unleashed.
What puzzled him the most was, all other assassins had already acted, yet this one deliberately stayed hidden, as if not wanting to be noticed.
Whether in cultivation or his conduct, this assassin was completely different from the others.
