Chapter 7: Chapter 3: Showing Off_2Bai Kaixin may be a complete fool, but he’s physically massive, weighing at least two hundred pounds. With his bulk and the combat skills he honed during mandatory police training, he could easily take on three or five hoodlums alone. Yet, when he faced off against that scrawny guy, he was utterly defeated, as if he couldn’t counter any of his moves at all. Qi Manlin then realized she had indeed apprehended the wrong person. Otherwise, given the opponent’s terrifying, otherworldly skills, it wasn’t just Bai Kaixin—every undercover cop joining forces wouldn’t be a match for him! Someone had just called him incompetent and weak, which now seemed like a self-inflicted slap to her face. Her cheeks felt a fiery flush... Hidden in the bustling city? But this guy, when arrogant, didn’t resemble a hidden hero; he was more like a big bad wolf! However, before she could figure out who exactly Lin Mu was, the action started elsewhere. Only Lin Mu saw clearly as those four bearded men suddenly had daggers appear in their hands out of thin air, lunging at the four bodyguards near the beautiful woman with fierce and ruthless vigor. In a flash, the four men overwhelmed the bodyguards, bloody daggers in hand, leaving the guards in pools of blood. The woman reacted quickly, screaming and rushing towards the nearest undercover cops. The officers raised their guns, but before they could fire, they were hit by the assassins’ flying knives, their wails resonating. Lin Mu swiftly concluded these policemen were dead weight. They might be decent at catching petty criminals, but in the face of such ruthless international thieves, all they could do was rush to their deaths! He couldn’t delay any longer; to prevent more innocents from being harmed and to save the woman connected to his dreams, he must act. With a slight flick of his left hand, Lin Mu broke free from the handcuffs. These were the most robust police cuffs produced by a renowned local manufacturer, completely adequate for subduing ordinary criminals, but for him, they were no more than child’s play. Then, he lunged at the bearded man closest to him. This bearded man wasn’t weak, brandishing a dagger and thrusting it forward. Although Lin Mu was airborne, he grasped the bearded man’s wrist with his right hand, twisting it forcefully, then struck the man’s forearm with his left hand. In the next moment, the bearded man’s dagger turned at an unimaginable angle, stabbing back at him. Lin Mu delivered another palm strike, ultimately guiding the bearded man to complete a standard throat-cutting suicide. Another astonishing strike!

One of the assassins behind noticed an opportunity, and with a flash of cold light, hurled a dagger aimed at Lin Mu’s back. It was too swift for Qi Manlin to shout a warning, and she instinctively screamed "Ah" in alarm. But Lin Mu seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. His incredible spinning motion, combined with a twist kick, sent the dagger flying back along its original path, embedding it several inches into the attacker’s chest. Blood spattered, and the assailant coughed up blood as he unwillingly crumpled to the ground. Lin Mu’s movements didn’t stop; a successive flying kick struck the head of a killer on his right, lifting him off the ground. He crashed onto a sturdy iron frame, his body a bloody mess. Everyone present was stunned by Lin Mu’s demon-slaying combat style. "Meet a god, slay the god; meet a buddha, slay the buddha!" Damn, it’s like Ultraman has descended! The last remaining assassin, the leader, realized his strategy needed adjusting if he wanted to escape intact. With a snap, the assassin pulled out a firearm from a military-green backpack he carried. Given the train’s strict security checks, it’s a mystery how the assassin managed to bring it aboard. Qi Manlin then realized the military-green backpack she had been desperately seeking was right here all along. With all the pursuit and cuffing earlier, it was all a misunderstanding in the end. The assassin’s gun was aimed at his target, the beauty Su Xiaowan, the sole purpose of their mission. If the opportunity was right, they’d kidnap for ransom; if not, they’d kill directly, still earning a hefty reward. But now he faced a powerful adversary, one almost capable of deciding fate itself; he had to escape first and plan anew. Su Xiaowan was petrified, sitting motionless. The terrified crowd screamed and scattered, while the remaining officers drew their guns to confront him, creating a tense standoff. The carriage’s order turned into chaotic mayhem, filled with screams and shoving. "I’m... I’m Qi Manlin, the captain of the Wancheng City Public Security Bureau. Please, everyone... all squat down!" This was a necessary measure to protect the passengers. Qi Manlin’s voice had a slight tremble. She stood there dazed, staring at the killer’s military-green backpack. If only she hadn’t misjudged the situation, if only Bai Kaixin hadn’t overreacted, things might not have turned so tragic. Now Su Xiaowan was staring death in the face. Should anything happen to Su Xiaowan, how could Qi Manlin ever explain it to her good friend Sophie? After all, it was she who assuredly guaranteed that this operation was foolproof, and that she’d take full responsibility if anything went wrong... Facing the police’s multiple drawn guns, the seasoned killer remained unfazed, stepping forward so the gun was even closer to the paralyzed Su Xiaowan. "You damn cops, none of you better move! Whoever dares to fire, I’ll shoot President Su first as a companion to the grave!"
