Chapter 778 Being Chased
By the time we got back to the department store, it was already getting dark.
After dinner, Lin Ping stayed alone in his room, feeling somewhat lonely and dejected.
"My wife, have you been thinking of me?" Lin Ping asked, gazing at the moon outside the window with his chin in his hand, looking rather like a resentful woman.
In a parallel universe, there is also a woman with a chin resting on her hand, but it is not Jiang Yunying, but Meng Qingge.
Since Lin Ping left, she often stares out the window in a daze.
I can't quite say I miss them, but there's a feeling of emptiness in my heart.
"Is Miss thinking about Young Master Lin again?" Rou'er said mischievously, seeing right through Meng Qingge's thoughts.
"You brat, believe me or not, I'll tear your mouth apart!" Meng Qingge said, feigning anger, but her face clearly showed a shy expression.
"If Miss really misses Young Master Lin, why don't you go and find him?" Rou'er asked softly.
"Find him? Where should we look?" Meng Qingge asked instinctively.
“It’s in that department store,” Rou’er answered without hesitation.
Oh no, Young Master Lin forbade me to say it.
Rou'er felt a pang of guilt; she had ultimately failed to keep her promise to Lin Ping.
"Rou'er is doing this for Young Master Lin's own good, he won't blame me," Rou'er comforted herself.
In her opinion, Lin Ping left because Meng Qingge wrote a letter to the young master of Wu Kingdom.
In other words, Meng Qingge doesn't have feelings for him.
However, if Meng Qingge takes the initiative to find him, it means that she is thinking of Lin Ping, and he will not need to run away from home. Rou'er will not have revealed their secret.
Meng Qingge had heard of this department store, but she didn't know what kind of business it was, so she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"I happen to have some things I need to buy, so why don't I go take a look? It's not to find Lin Wuqing," Meng Qingge explained deliberately.
"I understand, Rou'er understands. Miss went shopping. If she happens to see Young Master Lin, it's purely by chance," Rou'er said with a smile.
"It would be best if you could understand nature."
Rou'er happily went to prepare the carriage and headed towards the department store.
Meanwhile, a dark scene unfolded inside the Grand Secretary's residence.
"Did you find out where Jia Zhenzhen got the food?" Fan Li's face was gloomy and his eyes were glaring.
If Jia Zhenzhen hadn't suddenly produced an endless supply of food, the transformation method would have failed, and Bai Tiantian would have been the one asked to rest.
"Reporting to your Excellency, it's a young punk named Lin Wuqing," a voice replied from outside the door.
"Lin Wuqing? I've never heard of this person before?" Fan Li asked curiously.
A person who can produce tens of thousands of bushels of grain at once is no ordinary person, and Fan Li could not possibly have been unaware of such a person.
"He's supposedly a wealthy businessman from out of town, the owner of some department store," the butler outside the door answered nervously, afraid of being scolded for not providing complete information.
"A wealthy merchant from out of town? I'm afraid you're not familiar with the rules of Shuntian Prefecture, but it's too late now." Fan Li's eyes grew increasingly cold.
"Don't worry, Lord Fan, this kid is definitely going to die tonight!"
A dark figure suddenly appeared beside the butler, its chilling aura sending shivers down one's spine.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Leopard!" Fan Li said respectfully.
Although the other party has no rank or grade and his status is not as noble as Fan Li's, his strength is enough for Fan Li to win him over.
call out!
A gust of cold wind swept by, and the dark figure vanished without a trace.
"The best way to love your wife is to use your whole body!"
Lin Ping curled up in bed, the image of Jiang Yunying with her clothes disheveled flashing through his mind.
So realistic!
A minute later, Lin Ping calmed down considerably and said with conviction, "From now on, I will use this method to remember my wife every day!"
Ring ring ring!
Just when Lin Ping was at his weakest, a crisp sound suddenly rang out from outside the door.
"Who?" Lin Ping's hair stood on end. He immediately turned on the X-ray and clearly saw the dark figure in the yard.
"Damn it, it's finally here!" Lin Ping cursed, pulling the red rope on the headboard as he did so.
Clearly, he had activated the mechanism, and with a series of levers and pulleys in motion, the crossbow bolts positioned in the courtyard were fired all at once.
shhhhhh!
Hundreds of crossbow bolts are the most beautiful sight under the night sky.
The newcomer was clearly caught off guard by Lin Ping's preparedness and frantically tried to dodge, but even so, his shoulder was still grazed by an arrow.
"Such speed!" Lin Ping exclaimed inwardly, amazed at the ghostly figure of the man in black.
He was certain that his opponent was faster than him.
As for strength... it should be even stronger, at least at the peak of the fourth stage, or even faintly breaking through to the fifth stage.
Ordinary crossbow bolts are ineffective against such experts; unless ambushed in secret, they cannot harm the opponent at all.
Click!
Lin Ping's door was cleaved open, and the black-clad man pointed his cold, long sword at Lin Ping.
"Are you the owner of this shop?" the man in black asked coldly. Although he wasn't afraid of killing a hundred innocent people, he still needed to make sure the mission was complete.
"You've got it wrong. I'm just a wage earner. How about we start over?" Lin Ping chuckled, his hands behind his back gripping different weapons.
Simply put, a gun on the left and a crossbow on the right.
"A sneak attack, damn it!" The man in black clearly didn't believe Lin Ping's words; he wouldn't be foolish enough to go through the traps again.
"Please, you're the one who came to assassinate me, how can you turn around and accuse me of sneaking up on you? If I were at home making love with my wife, how could I have fallen into my trap?" Lin Ping explained pitifully.
This sounds like... stalling for time!
The man in black was a professional assassin, used to seeing people like Lin Ping. If he wasn't given a chance to escape, what if this guy really found a crack in the ground to crawl into?
"Stop talking, I'll kill you first!" The man in black wielded his sword with dazzling skill.
Unfortunately, before he could even make a move, he felt a weakness in his limbs.
"Despicable! You poisoned the arrow!" the man in black said through gritted teeth.
"Thank you for the compliment. I not only poisoned the arrows, but I also poisoned the excrement, which killed quite a few people. There's nothing I can do; some people just like to eat excrement." Lin Ping dusted off his hands, preparing to collect the corpses of the other party.
Just when he was feeling most triumphant, the man in black suddenly sliced off a large chunk of flesh from his shoulder.
"So cruel? Why didn't you just cut off the whole arm?" Lin Ping was terrified and hurriedly ran outside.
Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; even if the man in black is injured, he can still kill Lin Ping.
Although Lin Ping was not as strong as his opponent, he had a strong sense of self-awareness, and as expected, the man in black caught up with him.
Blocked in his path, Lin Ping gave up running and pretended to draw his longsword, saying confidently, "Come on, the disciples of Chiyang Pavilion are not afraid of you!"
Upon hearing this, the man in black paused slightly, clearly afraid of the Crimson Sun Pavilion.
Using a sword? That's underestimating Brother Xu! He should fight the other guy with shamelessness!
Bang!
Just as the man in black was lost in thought, Lin Ping fired his gun.
The bullet head flickered with fiery red flames, making it particularly conspicuous in the darkness.
However... it didn't hit.
