Chapter 37: Needle-Throwing Rescue
"Don’t do anything rash, I’ve already called the police!" In a moment of desperation, Tang Qiqi had to make up a reason to scare him.
𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
"Oh? Called the police? You actually dared to defy me, don’t blame me for being rude then." Situ Yun planned to toy with this chick tonight, and now Wu Mengting was actually going to the police, which infuriated him. He quickly said, "Brothers, drag that woman out, let’s take turns."
"Gah?"
Tang Qiqi was stunned. She had initially thought she could intimidate Situ Yun, but instead, she angered him and inadvertently harmed Wu Mengting.
Wu Mengting had thought she was saved, but suddenly the situation changed dramatically. Seeing two burly men approaching, she was frighteningly pale.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
Three silver needles flew in from the window, flashing in the dim light, followed by several thuds, and the three burly men all fell to the ground unconscious.
Situ Yun’s face changed, he quickly retreated, evading the last flying needle.
Immediately, a man appeared out of nowhere, moving like lightning, leaving both Situ Yun and Wu Mengting stunned.
From this angle, Wu Mengting could see Chen Tianlong’s profile, sharp as if carved, his straight posture exuding an aura similar to that of a soldier.
"Hey, beautiful, didn’t we agree to get a room?" A teasing voice came from Chen Tianlong’s mouth.
Tang Qiqi was startled, then turned her head and saw Chen Tianlong walking out leisurely.
"You brat, you finally showed up, I thought you ran away!" Tang Qiqi glared at Chen Tianlong disdainfully, pouting as she spoke.
"Haha, run away? There’s no need to run away from this kind of riffraff, watch me deal with him!" Chen Tianlong said with a faint smile.
"You just brag, this guy is quite ruthless, you should be careful." Tang Qiqi still wasn’t entirely confident in Chen Tianlong, as she’d seen Situ Yun’s skills before, he was an expert in the Assassin Group.
Chen Tianlong finally turned his face, and at this moment, the most surprised among the three was Wu Mengting.
"Woo woo... woo woo..."
Confirming it was Chen Tianlong, Wu Mengting excitedly cried out from the side. This was her savior. With him there, Wu Mengting felt inexplicably safe.
"Deal with me? Just you? Fool, you really have a big mouth!" Situ Yun sneered. Back when he was mixing in society, this guy was probably still playing in the mud. He snorted coldly and said, "Those who died at my hands are not one thousand but several hundred. If you know what’s good for you, get lost quickly!"
"Wow, an assassin, huh? I’m so scared!" Chen Tianlong feigned fear, then suddenly made his move, charging at Situ Yun like a hunting leopard.
Before Situ Yun could react, Chen Tianlong slapped his face hard, spinning him in place before falling to the ground.
"Do you know what I hate most?" Chen Tianlong asked with a faint smile.
"Hate what?" Clearly, Situ Yun was beaten senseless by Chen Tianlong, even his questioning was mechanical.
"I hate it most when people ask who I am!"
"You..."
Situ Yun’s face changed, revealing a look of shock. He hadn’t seen Chen Tianlong’s move at all, it was too fast!
"Hmph, consider yourself ruthless, but I’m not so easy to mess with either." Situ Yun wiped the blood off his lip, said coldly with glaring eyes, "I’m at least famous in the assassin realm, what can you do to me, kid?"
Instantly, Situ Yun began a sneak attack counterattack, using all his strength to punch at Chen Tianlong.
"Wow! A famous assassin, sounds impressive!" Chen Tianlong said playfully, then calmly met Situ Yun’s incoming punch with a gentle slap.
Splat!
Another crisp sound followed, and everyone was stunned.
Chen Tianlong actually broke the punch with his palm, seemingly a gentle slap, yet containing immense energy. At this moment, Situ Yun felt as if his fist was no longer his, his whole right hand was trembling, and the back of his hand was raised and numb.
"What?"
Situ Yun looked stunned.
"This is what you call a famous assassin? You must be joking, do you know this brings disgrace to the Assassin Group?" Chen Tianlong said disdainfully, then kicked lightning-quickly, hitting Situ Yun squarely in the stomach, sending him flying.
"Oh my, is this guy a monster? How terrifying!" Situ Yun steadied himself, his face full of panic. People used to pee themselves when they saw him, but now he was frightened by this kid’s strength.
"I really didn’t expect, there’d be such a ruthless person by Tang Qiqi’s side, I must be blind, daring to take on this task, it’s like pushing myself to hell."
Situ Yun felt like crying, originally planning to capture Tang Qiqi for a good time and then take her to the Capital City, but now he didn’t expect to encounter this situation.
Suddenly, Situ Yun gritted his teeth, unexpectedly jumped out the window, then fled in a panic, not daring to use the front door.
Seeing this, Chen Tianlong was too lazy to chase, after all, he came to help rescue, not to kill, so he turned his head to look at Tang Qiqi and Wu Mengting.
During the fight between Chen Tianlong and Situ Yun, Tang Qiqi had already untied the ropes and removed the tape from Wu Mengting. Seeing Chen Tianlong at this moment, Wu Mengting immediately ran over and threw herself into his arms.
Chen Tianlong was stunned for a moment, then understood: "Mengting, don’t be afraid, there’s no danger now."
At this moment, Chen Tianlong felt that fate was truly joking, his future girlfriend nearly got violated, if Tang Qiqi hadn’t called him out, it might have really been the end.
"Huh? You know each other?" Tang Qiqi observed for a while and finally figured it out, plus her friend hugged the guy tightly, it didn’t look like a casual relationship.
Upon hearing this, Wu Mengting quickly released Chen Tianlong, turning to show a bright smile, while her face blushed, shyly saying, "This... this is Chen Tianlong, my... good friend."
"Are you sure it’s just a good friend, not boyfriend?" Tang Qiqi clearly knew her friend’s thoughts, but for someone as conservative as her, daring to hug a man like this didn’t seem like just a friend.
"Hehe, nice to meet you, beautiful. She’s my future girlfriend, hasn’t agreed yet." Chen Tianlong grinned broadly, explained.
Tang Qiqi was stunned, then realized that the two were newly in love. But remembering Chen Tianlong’s behavior, daring to come right away to a hookup, surely he wasn’t someone good. So Tang Qiqi planned to have a serious talk with her friend afterwards.
At this moment, Wu Mengting suddenly asked, "By the way, Qiqi, how do you know Tianlong? Did he know I was kidnapped?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Qiqi’s mind froze for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
Should she say that Chen Tianlong was called for a hookup? Though it would expose this guy’s true nature, it would also reveal her own indiscretions.
