Chapter 1178: Counterattack! The Escape! (4)

Something there?? Xiao Lin halted with his left foot and spun on the spot, turned his head, and swung his left leg in a beautiful spinning kick, accurately kicking a small, black object flying towards him.

Although Xiao Lin’s kick sent the black object bouncing away, in the glow of light, both of them simultaneously recognized what had flown over—a hand grenade!

"Damn it!" Xiao Lin cursed, swiftly grabbing Murong Lengyue and diving to the ground. The moment their bodies hit the floor... with a booming explosion, the entire floor trembled violently, dust flying everywhere, and countless fragments and debris scattered with terrifying force in the blast.

"Robert really is sparing no expense, won’t rest until we’re dead, even using something like this. Are you worth more, or am I worth more?" Though Xiao Lin and Murong Lengyue weren’t hit by the debris, the terrible blast left their heads spinning, their ears buzzing incessantly, almost losing their hearing.

"You’re still in the mood to mock me at a time like this!" The opponent’s overwhelming firepower startled Murong Lengyue, and as Xiao Lin shookly stood up, his mind a muddle, he grabbed Murong Lengyue into his arms. "After the grenade comes a large-scale assault. If we don’t escape now, we’ll truly lose our lives!!!!" He said, holding Murong Lengyue and dashing towards the empty windowsill beside them, not caring which floor they were on, and leapt.

"Ahh! You’re crazy, Xiao Lin, you’re a lunatic!" Screaming and cursing as their bodies rapidly descended, Murong Lengyue thought, did this man not understand what giving a heads-up means? Did he not plan at all before risking their lives? "Lunatic, you are a lunatic!" Fortunately, Xiao Lin’s hearing was impaired, and her screams softened amid their downward speed, otherwise, his ears would definitely be blasted by her voice.

Luckily for Xiao Lin, the floor they leapt from was merely between the second and third levels, so the heavy fall only resulted in a hard thump without any major harm. However, Xiao Lin grimaced in pain as he twisted Murong Lengyue’s body at the last moment, becoming the human cushion, landing back-first with a groan.

"You, are you alright?" Hearing Xiao Lin’s groan, Murong Lengyue lay on him, carefully checking.

"Young lady, now’s not the time for you to take advantage, get off and run!" Xiao Lin speechlessly moved Murong Lengyue off him, nimbly climbing up. How this foolish woman became the head of the Murong Family was beyond him. Were the opponents just that weak? "Run, as far as you can!"

If he could just escape this construction site, there’d be a sliver of hope.

When the assassins within the building, following the explosion, rushed to the floor where Xiao Lin was, tracking Murong Lengyue’s screams, Xiao Lin was already at a wall 400 meters away from the building, holding Murong Lengyue. Before the pursuers could raise their guns and shoot, Xiao Lin had already vaulted over the wall.

"Damn it, they got away!" The leader cursed, turning back around with his men to continue the chase. Even with all the manpower and firepower, they couldn’t eliminate these two, and going back empty-handed meant Robert would dismember him. More importantly, if the woman escaped, the Murong Family would undoubtedly ensure they wouldn’t rest in peace; not just Robert, even Shao Weihua would be finished, leaving his subordinates in a heap of trouble. Who didn’t know these two escapees were vengeful? "What are you standing there for, chase them, we must eliminate these two."

The leader, eyes bloodshot and anxious, yelled. Tonight, whoever, it all must conclude, even if only one is caught, knowing Robert, he definitely wouldn’t let them take the lead. Thinking this, he couldn’t permit these two ducks to fly out of reach, aiming where Xiao Lin exited over the wall, a group of men madly rushed there.

After flipping over the wall, Xiao Lin grimly looked at the narrow alleyway ahead. "I say, young lady, if we manage to get out of here tonight, could you use your influence to have Palermo’s mayor re-plan the road layout here? Damn it, it’s endless alleys, all alleys, I’m going crazy."

Staring blankly at Xiao Lin’s swearing while running, Murong Lengyue burst into laughter. "Xiao Lin, you’re definitely the first heir of the Xiao Family who likes to swear. Are you usually so refined just pretending? Now totally exposed!"

"Stupid woman! Shut up." Hearing the approaching curses from the other side of the wall, Xiao Lin glanced at the high walls on either side. From there, it was visible that behind the right wall lay a residential block. Taking a deep breath, Xiao Lin tightened his grip on Murong Lengyue, accelerating once more, and as they reached a pile of debris in front, hoisted himself upwards with force, his right hand grabbing the wall top, and flipped over.

This late at night, most people were already asleep. Only a few households had light filtering through their windows; the entire residential area was silent, devoid of people, occasional stray cats paused briefly, warily watching the two climb over the wall, then swiftly darted away.

Xiao Lin glanced around casually, thinking about running deeper into the neighborhood. It was a large residential area, resembling a domestic building complex, likely developed by a domestic developer. They cleverly used the old method of borrowing the sky instead of the land to construct these buildings, solving the problem for many who couldn’t afford villas.

Xiao Lin planned to find a hidden place to hide first, but unexpectedly, the group behind him was like ravenous wolves, relentlessly pursuing him. He looked up at a window on the second floor that was still lit and climbed up without hesitation.

Inside, a middle-aged woman was sitting on the sofa watching TV, her golden hair casually draped over her shoulders. Beside her sat a younger girl, probably her daughter, her hair slightly darker and still dripping wet, likely just out of the shower. The middle-aged woman shouted at her, seemingly urging her to dry her hair quickly. Her accent didn’t sound Italian.

When Xiao Lin climbed in through the window holding Murong Lengyue, three sets of eyes simultaneously focused on Xiao Lin’s bloodied, nearly naked body. Soon, the two women screamed in terror, but the piercing screams abruptly stopped as if their throats were suddenly constricted.

Two dark gun barrels were pointed at them. They had never seen a real gun in their lives, let alone been held at gunpoint.

"Shut up! If you speak, you’re dead. Want to experience what it feels like to have your head blown off?" Xiao Lin was stunned on the spot, watching Murong Lengyue fiercely pointing the gun at them, looking very much like an armed home invader.

The couple and their daughter raised their hands, terrified, looking at the blood-soaked, fierce-looking pair before them. Tears streamed down, and the middle-aged woman muttered something while holding her daughter, comforting her and looking up at the two intruders, probably pleading for their lives.

As the father’s backbone, he tried to maintain composure after fear, showing a bit of manly courage: "As long as you don’t harm my wife and child, I will give you whatever you want."

Good, very good! For the first time ever, thanks to the foolish woman beside him, he had become a criminal committing armed robbery in a residential home.

Seeing the two not speaking, the man spoke again, this time repeating his previous words in English, thinking they might not understand the dialect, making Xiao Lin want to laugh but holding it in. This father must be quite charming in ordinary times.

Xiao Lin lowered Murong Lengyue’s gun and tried to put on a friendly smile. "We don’t need money. Just give us a corner to stay until tomorrow morning. We won’t harm you and will compensate you, as long as you maintain your usual routine."

Although he said so, Xiao Lin did not notice his blood-covered appearance, which from an outsider’s perspective looked nothing like a good person. This smile further transformed his bloodied face to resemble a vengeful ghost hunter, frightening others.

The daughter stared at them in terror, cautiously leaning against her mother, the two hugging tightly. On the side, the man quietly reached for the phone on the sofa, Murong Lengyue’s gun rose again: "I’m not as nice as him, so you’d better not do anything stupid. We won’t kill you, but that doesn’t mean we won’t kill. If you don’t believe it, you can try." Murong Lengyue’s cold words made the three shudder, and the phone in the hand dropped in fright.

Xiao Lin walked over and picked up the phone, looking at the family huddled together. "Don’t worry, we won’t harm you. Tell me, where is this place?"

"Ah?" For a moment, the man didn’t understand what Xiao Lin meant.

"The specific address here." Xiao Lin fully displayed his polite side at this moment, like a proper gentleman. The man suddenly realized, shakily wrote down the address, and handed it to Xiao Lin. "Thank you. May I use the bathroom?"

The man pointed to a room outside the bedroom without speaking.

"Here’s the address. Quickly contact your bodyguard. We must leave here before dawn. Time is very tight, hurry up." (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
