Chapter 1315: Not in the Mood to Kill Today

Seeing Ye Yunyun again was a peculiar feeling, though Xiao Lin felt somewhat surprised and disappointed that Xun Xiangxiang’s father was absent due to business.

Chu Qi played his role as a bodyguard perfectly, standing behind Xiao Lin throughout the meal, while Ye Yunyun’s occasional glances at him didn’t escape Xiao Lin’s notice.

Ye Yunyun was different from typical businessmen, she spoke very little, and most of the evening was filled with Xun Xiangxiang’s chatter from the other side. Ye Yunyun sometimes cooperated with a smile or quietly chastised Xun Xiangxiang’s rudeness, her reserved nature gave Xiao Lin a deeper understanding, yet...

"Brother Xiao, I’m going back to school the day after tomorrow, but I’ll handle the transfer paperwork and come back. So you have to pick me up then!" Xun Xiangxiang suddenly announced her plan, causing the two others present to put down their chopsticks in surprise.

Ye Yunyun was the first to express discomfort with a polite smile to Xiao Lin. "Xiangxiang, you should have discussed this with me first, Young Master Xiao is very busy, you can’t inconvenience him with everything." ℯℯ𝑙.

"I’m not inconveniencing him, I’m coming to study, not make trouble. Besides, Brother Xiao is very capable, no one will bully Xiangxiang while he’s around." With that, Xun Xiangxiang showed Ye Yunyun an innocent smile.

"Young Master Xiao, I apologize. Xiangxiang is immature, please don’t take it to heart." Ye Yunyun shifted the topic, apologizing to Xiao Lin.

"I share your sentiment, Madam, this place ultimately isn’t suitable for a young girl to stay." Xiao Lin nodded in agreement. "Moreover, my men have found information about an assassin leader named Boss Xing, who plans to harm me soon, so..."

"Has Young Master Xiao offended someone? Although I’m not often in Palermo, I’ve heard about the situation here from Xiangxiang. Do you need some help?" Ye Yunyun naturally picked up the conversation. "In our business world, it’s common to know some people from the underground circles. If Young Master Xiao doesn’t mind, I could inquire around. If this person is still in Palermo, we’ll certainly find him, that much we can do."

"That would be ideal. This Boss Xing is notoriously elusive, my men have been looking for a long time without any leads. I just fear it would be too troublesome for Madam." Xiao Lin gratefully extended his hand to shake Ye Yunyun’s hand as an expression of gratitude. She suddenly withdrew her hands, picking up a napkin to wipe her mouth.

"It’s no trouble at all, Xiangxiang has always been under your care, this small matter is nothing. If I find any lead, I’ll inform you immediately." Ye Yunyun pulled Xun Xiangxiang’s hand to her chest. "Thank you very much, Young Master Xiao, for your hospitality today. We..."

"Chu Qi, escort these two back and ensure their safety before returning to report." Young Master Xiao nodded at Chu Qi and then rose to his feet. "I hope Madam doesn’t find this abrupt."

"Brother Xiao, why him? You could take us!" Xun Xiangxiang had an inexplicable fear of Chu Qi, the thought of this guy driving them back made her uncomfortable, she spoke pitifully to Xiao Lin.

"Chu Qi is someone I trust, I feel at ease with him taking you back." Xiao Lin smirked slightly, his gaze settling on Ye Yunyun. "Madam, did you drive here today?"

"I sent the driver away!" Xun Xiangxiang’s original plan was to have them driven home by Xiao Lin after dinner, so she sent the driver away, not expecting things to turn out this way.

"Xiangxiang, you..." Ye Yunyun, hearing this, wanted to criticize her for her reckless behavior but couldn’t show it immediately. The words stuck in her throat.

"I’m sorry! I just wanted to spend more time with Brother Xiao, I’m leaving the day after tomorrow, who knows when we’ll meet again!" Xun Xiangxiang said a bit aggrievedly.

"Then please Young Master Xiao and Mr. Chu forgive this inconvenience."

After sending off Ye Yunyun and Xun Xiangxiang, Xiao Lin immediately got into another car. "Follow Chu Qi!"

Chu Qi kept an eye on the two women in the car through the rearview mirror. In the confined space, the scent of Boss Xing subtly filled the cabin, causing Chu Qi to stomp on the brakes sharply, pushing the two women to lurch forward.

"What’s happening?" Ye Yunyun asked first, there was no immediate danger ahead, Chu Qi suddenly braked, could it be...

"Oh, just a cat dashed across, sorry." Chu Qi restarted the car and continued driving.

"Didn’t expect Mr. Chu to be so compassionate." Ye Yunyun broke the silence in the car by starting a conversation.

"All drivers from my hometown have a habit; regardless of what’s in front, if it’s alive we’ll avoid it, hitting it is just asking for bad luck."

"Mr. Chu, where are you from? I’ve heard that saying before." Ye Yunyun kept one hand on Xun Xiangxiang’s hand while her other hand brushed her hair.

"My hometown is Hebei!"

With a screech, mid-conversation, Chu Qi stomped the brakes again. "Mr. Chu, now what?" Xun Xiangxiang asked irritably.

"People!" Chu Qi replied, unbuckling his seatbelt and shifting to neutral. "Once I get out, drive off quickly, don’t get out." As he spoke, he was already exiting the car, while Ye Yunyun saw a few people blocking the path ahead, all holding weapons.

"What do you want to do?" Chu Qi stood on the left side of the car, asking in a deep voice to the people closing in from all directions.

"Where is Xiao Lin?" One of them glanced at the people in the car and chuckled twice upon discovering they were two women. "Oh, aren’t these the women who are cozying up to Xiao Lin? Taking her away would ensure Xiao Lin shows himself."

"Boss, both of them inside look pretty good, want to take them both?" Another person tried to approach the car opportunistically, but Chu Qi kicked him down to the ground.

"You think too much!" After coldly knocking one down, Chu Qi snatched the weapon from one of them and lashed out at the person beside, catching them off guard and throwing the entire encirclement into chaos.

After dealing with several people around him, Chu Qi gestured to the two people in the car to drive away quickly. Ye Yunyun jumped to the front of the car, stepped on the gas, and sped forward, only to find another car blocking their path, forcing her to brake suddenly. Upon seeing the additional car, Chu Qi dashed over after taking down a few people.

From the opponent’s car emerged several dark gun barrels. Chu Qi flung open the car door, dragging two people out and ran toward an open area.

Gunfire erupted behind them, several bullets grazed past them, making Xun Xiangxiang scream loudly in panic.

"Young Master Quan said not a single one should be left alive." During their escape, hearing this from behind, Chu Qi glanced at the two women beside him and led them to a dark corner.

"Stay here and don’t come out!" Saying this, Chu Qi subtly maneuvered to the back of the road, stealthily approaching the assassins who were searching around.

When Xiao Lin arrived, Chu Qi was already heavily surrounded, but he did not see Xun Xiangxiang and her companions, possibly hidden somewhere by Chu Qi, and he instructed Lao Jiu to find them while he brandished a dagger and sliced into the encirclement.

"Are you okay?" Xiao Lin looked at Chu Qi and asked.

"Still manageable, I can handle these people myself, there’s another group over there." Chu Qi pointed to a few people sitting in a car in the distance, they seemed not to be allies, perhaps not the same group.

"Alright, I’ll take care of those people." With that, Xiao Lin pierced through several throats and took cover on the car’s left side.

"Damn, what are these people up to?" Someone in the car asked. "What’s their origin, how did they suddenly start attacking?"

"Who knows, Young Master Quan never mentioned we have reinforcements, do you think we should act?"

"Let’s wait a bit longer, anyway, someone else is doing the dirty work for us, which isn’t bad."

Definitely not from the same group! Hearing this, Xiao Lin was already out of his parking spot, appearing in front of several people. "Were you looking for me?"

The sudden appearance of Xiao Lin startled those in the car briefly, but the surprise only lasted a few seconds before they grabbed their weapons and rushed into the car, without any habit of exchanging pleasantries, and directly started shooting toward where Xiao Lin stood.

After the smoke cleared, there was no trace of Xiao Lin, not a drop of blood in sight.

"Where is he?" One person asked nervously, watching the open space. Can anyone be faster than bullets?

"I’m here!" Xiao Lin stood atop the car, swiftly rotating the dagger in his hands. As soon as his words fell, several silver lights struck their wrists, pain surging, causing the guns in their hands to fall to the ground.

"Did Quan Mingyuan send you? Where is Boss Xing?" Xiao Lin’s icy voice reached the ears of several people.

"Don’t know!"

Such a straightforward response; Xiao Lin smirked.

One of them, seizing the moment when Xiao Lin was speaking, climbed up from the side, tilting his body and aiming a kick at Xiao Lin’s calf. However, before he could make his move, Xiao Lin was already upon him, his right fist hitting his chest, the sound of cracking bones eerily reaching the ears of the others.

In less than a minute, one person was easily killed, and such swift action sparked a chain reaction of fear in the minds of the others.

Previously, none of the groups returned alive, and the only survivor had already been subdued by Xiao Lin, fighting on the other side, and now the main opponent stood right before them, yet they lacked the initial confidence, notably after witnessing a comrade being taken down before even striking.

"I don’t want to kill today, just tell me where Boss Xing is." Xiao Lin hesitated, feeling that these people weren’t as formidable as Chu Qi had said, just some minor characters, and wondering why Quan Mingyuan bothered with such superfluous actions, which wasn’t his style.
