Free Web NovelChapter 2006: Chapter 1979: The Assassin Appears
"Mom, what’s wrong? Why aren’t you speaking? Are you worried about Uncle?"
While Qiu Yingrong was lost in thought, a crisp voice suddenly rang in her ear.
At some unknown time, Lingling, who had been focused on watching cartoons, stood up from the sofa and was now standing in front of Qiu Yingrong, her big, bright eyes fixed on her with curiosity.
Upon hearing Lingling’s voice, Qiu Yingrong snapped back to reality, looked at Lingling standing before her, and flashed a smile, saying, "Lingling, what’s up? Is there something you need from Mommy?"
"Mom, what happened just now? I called you several times and you ignored Lingling. Did Lingling do something wrong to make Mommy angry?" Lingling cautiously asked Qiu Yingrong.
"Lingling, you didn’t do anything wrong. Mommy was just lost in thought, thinking about some things. It has nothing to do with you."
Qiu Yingrong gave a faint smile, reached out, and gently patted Lingling’s little head, saying, "Lingling, it’s getting late. How about Mommy takes you to bed?"
"Okay."
Lingling nodded.
Qiu Yingrong extended her arms and picked up Lingling, stood up from the sofa, and headed upstairs.
Meanwhile, outside Qiu Yingrong’s villa, two figures dressed in security uniforms, with eyes cold as ice, slowly emerged from the darkness, soon appearing at the gate of the Qiu Family estate.
The Qiu Family’s villa wasn’t a sprawling group of residences resembling ancient mansions, but rather located in the famous affluent district of Qin Island, where each villa takes up a large area and they line up together, forming a unique landscape.
Moreover, the security measures are excellent, ensuring no suspicious individuals can enter. This place is generally a top choice for wealthy individuals because, the richer one gets, the more afraid of death.
The two men dressed as security guards exchanged glances, scanning their surroundings with the corners of their eyes, observing the situation, and slowly revealing a sinister smile at the corners of their mouths.
Then, one of them strode toward the entrance of the villa. freeweɓnovel.cøm
"Stop."
Before the man could approach, the guard at the door immediately strode forward, blocking his path, eyes shimmering coldly, ready to take action at any moment.
"Hello, we are the security here. We just seemed to see a Black Shadow sneak into the villa, so we came to check it out," the man in the security uniform quickly explained, his expression convincing enough to believe.
After speaking, the man seemed to remember something and added, "By the way, here’s my ID card. If you don’t believe me, you can check it out."
While speaking, he hurriedly reached into his pocket to pull out an ID card and handed it to the guard.
The guard looked suspiciously at the man, extending his hand to take the ID card. Just as he was about to grab it, a cold gleam flashed in the man’s eyes, stepping forward fiercely, and with fingers wide open, he grabbed the guard’s palm and pulled sharply.
The guard staggered forward, crashing right into the man.
At that instant, as the guard lunged at him, a bloodthirsty glow flashed in the man’s eyes. His sleeve shook slightly, and a gleaming dagger appeared in his hand, silently thrusting into the guard’s heart.
The guard’s terrified eyes widened; he didn’t even groan before collapsing to the ground.
At the moment this man took action, the other man who had been following him launched an attack as well, his figure ghostly as he appeared at the side of another guard, raising his fist and slamming it fiercely into the guard’s chest.
"Thud!"
A dull sound echoed, and the guard’s back instantly bulged outwards, his suit bursting apart, with the shape of a fist clearly visible on his back—a clear indication his heart had been shattered by a punch. After killing the guard, the two men exchanged glances, revealing bloodthirsty smiles.
"Let’s go."
With that, the two men vanished like wisps of smoke, silently drifting toward the villa without alerting anyone or drawing attention.
Their speed was swift and light, even with Qiu Zhengfeng having arranged protection for Qiu Yingrong and Lingling inside the villa, their movements went unnoticed.
At this moment, the two seemed like smoke, slipping unnoticed into the villa. freewёbnoνel.com
"Swish!"
Suddenly, a sharp sword light flashed through the dark night.
"Ah!"
One of the two men heading toward the villa abruptly stopped, clutching his arm, letting out a muffled cry of agony. Under the illuminating lights, blood dripped uncontrollably from his wrist onto the ground, and a severed hand lay on the grass—clearly severed in an instant.
"Who!"
After his companion screamed, the remaining man halted, scanning his surroundings hawkishly, cold killing intent emanating from his body, poised for a direct confrontation.
"The Family Head was right; you indeed remain unrelenting, attempting to kill the young lady tonight. Then you shall find no graves here tonight."
With the voice’s emergence, a middle-aged man stepped from the shadows, holding a sword in his hand. Blood dripped from the blade, indicating he was the one who struck earlier.
As the middle-aged man’s voice echoed, a group of Qiu Family bodyguards charged forward, encircling the two men, each radiating fierce killing intent, ready to dismember them at a command.
"Kill us? Let’s see if you have that capability."
The two men exchanged glances, eyes filled with savage killing intent. Without hesitating, they launched an attack, charging toward the bodyguards.
Without hesitation, the Qiu Family bodyguards also sprang into action, launching toward the two men.
In an instant, the front yard of Qiu Yingrong’s villa turned into a battlefield, True Qi intertwining, and the smell of blood permeating the air, transforming the once picture-perfect front yard into an Asura Battlefield.
Engulfed in chaos, none noticed that amidst the commotion, a figure flickered like a specter in the night, silently alighting onto the villa’s second-floor balcony... .
