Chapter 461: The Ace’s Unease

(Thanks to the book friend [AǐR (靑空] for being promoted to Squad Leader, special thanks and additional updates!)

At this moment, besides the anger in Li Jie’s heart, there is also a worry, a worry that Li Yan might come here. If that happens, one more person would be needlessly sacrificed. Thinking about how the best outcome for herself might be to take revenge by going down together with the enemy, never having the chance to see Li Yan again, there was a feeling of indescribable emotion within her.

At this time, she thought if she could see Li Yan again, even if he called her "silly girl," it wouldn’t be a bad thing! She remembered today... and felt a little satisfied in her heart. Because at least... it was almost like a date, having had dinner alone with a man; strolling through the streets like a couple, holding hands and embracing; watching a movie like going on a date...

These things never happened before, what a blessing! If she had felt awkward and rejected due to face, then she wouldn’t have experienced anything. Unfortunately, this was just playing, not really tasting the flavors of love and dating...

Eventually, what goes around comes around. Actually, from the day she started working as a bodyguard, she had a lighter view on death compared to ordinary people. But no matter how lightly she viewed it, she had never personally experienced it. Like the Lord Ye loves dragons, but he panics when he actually sees one. Today, she witnessed death nearby, just a second ago, someone was holding a gun to intimidate everyone, and the next moment, suddenly dead on the ground! This made her concept of death more vivid!

The different lifestyle experienced with Li Yan today also filled her with fantasy and yearning for ordinary people’s dating and love. Dying at such a moment is undoubtedly hard to part with.

"Go ahead and kill me! What are you waiting for?"

No matter what, she can’t drag Li Yan into this. Last time he saved her, but this time the enemy is stronger and more prepared. If he comes, it would just mean another person dead. Hence, after calming down, Li Jie made a decision and provocatively spoke.

The chair she was sitting on was not fixed to the ground, and she wasn’t tied up, which clearly showed the foreigner’s confidence in his gun.

Li Jie has always been confident in her own skills and speed, yet she knows she can’t outrun a bullet or the trigger pull, but facing death, she must give it a try!

Calm!

Stay calm!

Don’t be afraid, be fearless!

It’s just a gun. At worst, death!

By repeating these beliefs of Li Yan in her heart, Li Jie settled the complicated emotions, and in her mind, everything visible in her surroundings had been projected one by one. She tried her best to devise a strategy, figuring out a way.

A calm mind allowed her imagination to surpass its usual limits, and she quickly formulated a plan in her mind. However, truly executing it could be challenging. Because she was sitting in a corner, the nearest object that could slightly block her was a cupboard, three meters away! If she truly wanted to take action, she must throw the chair at the foreigner before he shot, and leap behind the cupboard three meters away before the bullet arrived!

...

"No need to rush, I will kill you! But, aren’t your companions coming over too? I have to kill them all! Ideally, it will be in front of your companions when I kill you. Heh... Who is he to you? Your lover? How do you think he would react upon seeing you die?" The foreigner spoke with a demeanor and tone of a cat playing with a mouse.

Li Jie shivered inwardly, expecting he was indeed waiting to lure Li Yan over!

But why didn’t he stop that young man from leaving just now? According to the young man’s remarks, he had at least two chances to detain him.

Wrong!

If that young man merely saw them chasing him, he might not kill to prevent their leak, but since he saw the foreigner with a gun, it’s not just going for security, it’s surely calling the police. How can he let someone run away like this?

"Was that person your man? Did he purposely lure me up here?"

Upon hearing Li Jie’s words, the foreigner shook his head with a smile: "Just realizing now, not smart enough! Furthermore, we were going to lure others here anyway, and you willingly handed him the phone, haha. I believe he didn’t expect to find someone cooperating so smoothly!"

Li Jie almost exploded in anger!

Thinking she had calmed down and done something beneficial for Li Yan, she didn’t realize she had harmed him! It’s imaginable that the betrayer took her phone and contacted Li Yan, then likewise lured him here!

"If you try to throw the chair over here, I guarantee you won’t see your lover’s face before you die!" The foreigner seemed to have seen through Li Jie’s thinking and coldly warned just as she was eyeing her move.

This made Li Jie very passive, as her plan had already been exposed. Not to mention whether she could dodge the aim and jump behind the cupboard before the bullet arrived, she might be shot dead before she threw the chair!

The last face?

Still want to see his last face?

Do I even deserve to see his last face?

Li Jie felt that giving the phone to the traitor indirectly caused harm to Li Yan, and she should have destroyed the phone. But now, in anger and despair, she also harbors a slight hope to see him one more time... just one more time...

One’s gun posture can reveal a lot about him. If he’s nervous, holding the gun tremblingly, he’s a rookie, likely to misfire and easily disarmed; if he’s focused but his hand isn’t stable, he’s trained but lacks experience; if he’s focused and steady, he’s professional, making it harder to escape such a person.

Above that, there’s a type not looking focused, seemingly very relaxed, like playing, yet their hand remains steady and the gun always aimed precisely. They are the masters, reaching a transcendent level, where gun and man become one. Relaxed but always ready; they don’t need firm focus on the target, a glance or side vision ensures a perfect shot!

The foreigner before her is the ace assassin of SIA! A gun-playing expert at such a level!

Thus, in his eyes, Li Jie’s little schemes and movements are laughable. Even if he lets her throw the chair or run, he can always shoot her dead.

This is his confidence!

However... at this moment, his confidence seemed challenged!

...

Christopher has obsessive confidence in his gun and shooting speed, considering himself unmatched. These aspects contribute to his ease of handling any assassination attempt and withdrawing unscathed.

Yet, despite his arrogance, he lacks a strong sense of responsibility and willingness to obey orders. Crucial tasks rely on him, while others are merely facades. What does it matter? Who cares, as long as the salary and bonus satisfy.

Due to the complete destruction of the five-member team at noon, while the target remained unharmed, today’s commanding officer felt humiliated and furious, yet decided against a large-scale assault, opting instead for seizing opportunities to defeat them gradually! For Christopher, it was boring; he even proposed storming into the Intercontinental Hotel alone but was scolded as an idiot.

Now, he accepted the first order based on tracking results from local intelligence personnel they recruited. Upon reaching the cinema, he disdainfully approached the unconscious, battered Li Chengfeng, unworthy to just kill him. He intended to boldly finish all three of them.

Everything went as planned, the first target successfully lured over, and the second and third would follow. Christopher prepared to kill the first one when the second arrived, regardless of them being lovers or father-daughter. Seeing Li Jie killed should erupt the greatest anger and killing intent he desired, making the kill more thrilling!

But at this moment, his confidence seemed challenged!

He estimated the second should arrive soon, yet that local young man offered no information, nor signaled with heavier footsteps. This indicated the person hadn’t come yet, yet why did he feel someone was already there, watching him!

This is a deeply unpleasant feeling since he’s always the hunter, unwilling to experience being hunted!

Furthermore, he felt unease from a sense resembling himself! He couldn’t describe it, simply a sixth-sense intuition indicating the newcomer might be an equally skilled assassin! Who is this? How could such a person be among the bodyguards? Wasn’t the older bodyguard beaten to a pulp? Is it the other one? Indeed, one capable of easily knocking out that bodyguard is exceptional, but is he truly a bodyguard? Is he part of this protection mission?

But does it matter? Should they report this person’s information for more monitoring, tracking, investigation? No! Completely unnecessary, because soon, he will end up under his gun!

The intuitive unease startled Christopher, he refrained from waiting or preparing any traps, pointing the gun at Li Jie and pulling the trigger!
