Chapter 207: Wan Shixuan’s Rage

“Who are you?” Lin Xiao frowned slightly as he listened to the investigation targeting him through his earpiece.

“Don’t you want to catch me?” a mocking voice came through the earpiece.

“Wan Shixuan?”

“That’s right. I’m giving you one more chance. Surrender to me, and I guarantee you a bright future filled with endless wealth and honor. With Wan Caixuan, you can only be a lowly bodyguard. With me, I can give you ten times what she offers.”

“Heh.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Get lost.”

“Fine, fine, fine. If you refuse a toast, you’ll drink a forfeit. Consider yourself lucky this time. Remember, next time, I will make sure you die without a place to be buried.”

Hearing Wan Shixuan’s words, a cold smile appeared at the corner of Lin Xiao’s mouth.

Wan Shixuan had no understanding of Lin Xiao’s character.

Did Lin Xiao lack money? No, he didn’t.

Previously, he raised money solely for Aunty Yuan’s illness. Now, he had already gathered five million, and in addition, Master Chen at the Chen’s Martial Arts School had given him all the money from the bet, a total of sixty million.

The reason he stayed by Wan Caixuan’s side was that she hired him during his most difficult time. He had to maintain professional ethics, and after spending time together, he had developed a good impression of Wan Caixuan.

That was why he remained to help Wan Caixuan. Otherwise, Lin Xiao would have resigned long ago.

He didn’t particularly like the job of a personal bodyguard.

“I don’t know what kind of bewitching potion my dear sister gave you to make you so devoted to her. Did she seduce you with her body? Given my sister’s looks and figure, even I sometimes find it hard to control myself. No man could resist. But I never expected my sister, who always acts so pure and virtuous in front of others, to be so wanton inside. It’s true that appearances can be deceiving. I…”

At this point, Wan Shixuan’s incessant filthy language came through the earpiece.

However, Lin Xiao seemed not to hear Wan Shixuan’s words, his brow furrowed slightly. Suddenly, he said, “Are you stalling for time?”

“You…”

Lin Xiao’s words caused Wan Shixuan’s voice to abruptly stop, but he quickly resumed, “Stalling for time? What do you mean? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Heh, is that so?”

Lin Xiao let out a cold laugh, then looked toward the far-right corner of the hall.

“In that case, stop spying on me.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xiao drew his gun and fired at the right-hand corner he had just glanced at.

A gunshot echoed, and a tiny surveillance camera fell from the ceiling in the corner.

The camera was extremely small, about the size of a fly. The corner was three meters high from the ground, making it hard for an average person to notice, let alone spot, even when standing nearby.

“How did you discover it?!” Wan Shixuan’s enraged voice came through the earpiece.

Lin Xiao didn’t respond to Wan Shixuan’s question. Instead, he turned and fired at the other three corners of the room. With three gunshots, all the miniature surveillance cameras in the villa’s hall were shattered.

Lin Xiao had noticed the miniature cameras as soon as he entered the villa’s hall. Although these cameras were hard to spot, they couldn’t escape his enhanced senses.

Previously, he hadn’t paid them much attention since it was normal for a villa to have surveillance.

However, once he realized that “Wan Shixuan” was actually a stand-in being remotely controlled through a tiny earpiece, Lin Xiao grew suspicious.

Wan Shixuan must have been using those four miniature cameras to give remote commands. Relying solely on an earpiece wouldn’t allow for such precise control.

“Good, very good. As expected of the person who single-handedly broke through my trap. Impressive.”

“Is that so? Thanks for the compliment. But your incessant chatter actually made me more suspicious. The mercenaries chasing Wan Caixuan should be returning soon, right?”

“You–”

Wan Shixuan tried to say something, but before he could finish, Lin Xiao crushed the earpiece in his hand. He then moved behind Wan Shixuan’s stand-in, raised his left hand like lightning, and struck the back of the stand-in’s neck.

The stand-in didn’t even have time to grunt before his eyes rolled back, and he passed out.

Lin Xiao hoisted the stand-in’s body over his shoulder and walked out of the villa without looking back.

Although he didn’t capture the real Wan Shixuan, since this person was a stand-in, he had to know something about Wan Shixuan. So, Lin Xiao took him away.

Not long after Lin Xiao left, several Hummers sped to the villa and stopped at the entrance. A group of heavily armed mercenaries jumped out of the vehicles and rushed into the villa with their guns drawn.

But inside the villa, aside from the unconscious Wang Qi, there was no one else alive.

“What ruthless methods!”

The mercenary leader, a tall and burly man in colorful clothing, narrowed his eyes.

“Immediately search the area and have people track the traces. The young master ordered that this person must be caught.”

“Understood!”

Several other mercenaries obeyed and went off to carry out the orders.

After giving the command, the mercenary leader began examining the bodies lying in the hall. He observed them carefully and grew more alarmed the more he looked. Unknowingly, his palms were drenched in cold sweat.

Whether it was Blood Shadow or the other mercenaries, they were all killed with a single blow. The person who did this was ruthless, decisive, and terrifyingly powerful. These people were killed without any chance to resist.

“Who on earth is this?”

The mercenary leader’s face was extremely grave, and his right hand instinctively gripped the pistol at his waist.

“When did such a terrifying expert appear in Jinghai City? Such advanced combat skills can only be honed through countless battles.”

Lin Xiao was unaware of the mercenary leader’s shock, but he wasn’t surprised that they showed up.

When Wan Shixuan kept rambling through the earpiece, Lin Xiao knew that Wan Shixuan was likely stalling for time.

Although he didn’t know Wan Shixuan very well, from today’s events, Lin Xiao clearly understood that a person so cautious, ruthless, and cunning would never suddenly say so much to an enemy.

Thinking of the mercenaries who had been chasing Wan Caixuan earlier, Wan Shixuan must have informed them to come to the villa and tried to stall for time by talking.

Although Lin Xiao didn’t care about these mercenaries, Wan Caixuan was still waiting for his news, so he didn’t bother with them and left the villa directly.

***

At the same time, in Jiangbei City.

In a vast and incredibly luxurious manner, a handsome young man was sitting on a sofa, with four huge screens in front of him. However, the screens were now completely black with no images.

The young man had a ferocious expression on his face. He suddenly picked up a glass from the table beside him and smashed it against the screen.

A crisp sound rang out as the huge screen cracked from the impact, but the young man didn’t care. He gritted his teeth and said.

“Bastard! Just wait, wait! I swear, I will make you die! Die!”

At this moment, a mocking voice suddenly came from the doorway.

“Who made our young master Wan so unhappy?”
