In a dilapidated room with drafts coming from all sides, one assassin stood guard outside while another watched Liu Yixin inside. The two bored killers chatted.
"Hey, Anthony, if we succeed this time and get the money, what do you want to do?"
"Oh, such a large bounty, I've never thought about it. I think I'll go on vacation in Hawaii."
"Pete, what about you? How do you plan to spend this money?"
"I'm planning to buy a house in the Queen's District and retire from this line of work."
The person inside said enviously.
"Then what do you plan to do? Live a boring life like this forever?"
"No, no, no. I plan to open a car repair shop, then marry a girl. We'll get married, we'll have children, and I'll be a father. When I have grandchildren, I can be a grandfather..."
"Anthony, what about you? What are your plans?"
After waiting for a while without hearing Anthony's voice, the person inside continued to ask.
"Hey, Anthony, why did you stop talking?"
But after waiting for a while, Anthony outside still didn't respond. He walked out of the room, intending to see where Anthony had gone. Why did he leave without telling him?
However, when he walked out, he saw a stranger, not Anthony.
"Who are you?"
The person inside immediately drew his weapon and pointed it at the stranger, shouting.
"Oh, I am Satan, here to end your dreams. Your Anthony has already gone to Hawaii for his vacation, so you should go to Queen's Street to fulfill your dream."
The person who arrived was Ning Beichen. He said with a smile.
Pete immediately sensed something was wrong and pulled the trigger at Ning Beichen.
But Ning Beichen grabbed the barrel of his gun, flicked it upwards, and the barrel bent.
With a bang.
The bullet backfired inside the barrel, leaving Pete's hand bloody and mangled.
Pete's face turned ashen with shock. He quickly threw away his weapon and drew a dagger from his body, lunging at Ning Beichen.
Ning Beichen stretched out his hand, as fast as lightning, and grabbed Pete's dagger-wielding hand. Ning Beichen then forcefully twisted, breaking Pete's thumb. Pete cried out in pain.
The dagger slipped from his grasp and was thrust upwards into his own throat. Ning Beichen flicked his finger at Pete's elbow joint, and the blade of the dagger sank entirely into his throat.
"Sorry, you won't be going to Queen's Street anymore. Find a place to be a lonely ghost here."
Ning Beichen said with a slight smile at Pete, who was slowly dying.
"Devil... devil."
Pete could only utter the word "devil" at the end. One wonders if he regretted coming here as he died.
Ning Beichen couldn't be bothered to look at him. He walked into the room and saw Liu Yixin tied up inside, her mouth also sealed with tape.
"Mmm mmm mmm... Ning Beichen, save... save me."
Liu Yixin, who had been tied up inside and was in despair, heard the sound. She trembled in fear and looked up to see Ning Beichen enter. Her emotions instantly collapsed.
Ning Beichen walked over and tore off the tape from her mouth. Liu Yixin immediately began to cry to Ning Beichen, recounting her tragic experience after being kidnapped.
"Alright, it's okay. Your sister sent me to save you. You're safe now. Can you walk?"
Ning Beichen asked her.
Liu Yixin nodded, but as she stood up, she cried out "Aiya" and stumbled towards Ning Beichen.
Perhaps her leg was injured, or her legs had gone numb from being bound for too long, rendering her unable to stand steadily.
"Alright, don't move. I'll carry you."
Ning Beichen had to say.
Liu Yixin didn't hesitate at all. She nimbly climbed onto his back, wrapping her arms around his neck.
Ning Beichen carried her out, and as they walked, Liu Yixin continued to recount her tragic experiences from his back, leaving Ning Beichen speechless.
These assassins had only tied her up and not tortured her, which was already humane. If she had seen the situation Feng Wu was in back then, she would have known what a tragic experience truly was.
"Ning Beichen, where are those kidnappers? Did they not bother you?"
Liu Yixin asked like a curious baby.
"Oh, they saw how handsome I was and were so stunned by my charm that they all ran away."
Ning Beichen lied nonsensically.
"Nonsense! Do you think I'm as easily fooled as my sister?"
Liu Yixin slapped him on the shoulder.
"Miss, since you know you're not easily fooled, why did you ask such a foolish question? They were naturally taken care of by me. Otherwise, would they have let us leave?"
Ning Beichen was somewhat speechless about this violent girl.
"Hmph, you dare call me an idiot."
Liu Yixin bit him on the shoulder, causing Ning Beichen to cry out in pain.
"Are you a dog? Why do you always like to bite people? I shouldn't have saved you."
With a "slap."
Ning Beichen said somewhat angrily. He wasn't the type of man to passively accept abuse. He retaliated by slapping her on the butt.
However, after the slap, Ning Beichen felt something strange in his hand and suddenly remembered she was a girl.
"Hey, what was that for? You bit me first."
This time, Liu Yixin behind him remained silent and didn't argue with him, making Ning Beichen feel a bit guilty.
"Alright, don't be angry. At most, I'll let you hit me back."
Ning Beichen thought the girl was genuinely angry and tried to appease her.
However, Liu Yixin still didn't speak. This time, Ning Beichen was truly starting to panic. He thought, this woman is too petty. She can bite him, but he can't slap her, and he didn't even use much force. Isn't this hypocrisy?
Ning Beichen twisted his head back and saw that Liu Yixin's eyes were full of tears, which completely baffled him.
"No way? This woman is too petty. She's crying over this?"
Ning Beichen stopped and helplessly explained to her, "I'm sorry, I didn't really mean to hit you. It's just that biting people isn't a good habit, and not all men will indulge you."
"Ning Beichen, I'm sorry."
However, what Ning Beichen expected was not the "storm" from Miss Liu Yixin, but a quiet, gentle apology. This made Ning Beichen a little nervous, wondering what new trick this young lady was planning.
"Second Miss, you saying that makes me nervous."
Ning Beichen's hand trembled slightly.
