Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1336 – Big Chance

Of course, Lin Yi didn’t add the fact that there were assassination techniques as well as a poison that could off Mister Qiu, but Mister Qiu was killed with brute strength alone, in silence.

Killing Mister Qiu, who was holding hands with everyone, without people noticing, wouldn’t work if the killer used poisoning or assassination. Both of them would make Mister Qiu’s body stop for a bit, resulting in the person he was holding hands with turning to look. They would notice.

So, in order to do this without people noticing, he needed to cut off Mister Qiu’s arm right away, almost in the same instant as killing him! Mister Qiu would have to be dead before he could even react to the pain! This wasn’t assassination anymore; it was a direct, daylight killing!

Lin Yi naturally had no guarantee of performing this! But the enemy did it!

Plus, Lin Yi didn’t even feel the strength and aura of this person. The jade didn’t alert him as well, meaning that only Mister Qiu was targeted, not him, and not Lingshan, Yutian, or even Xiaoke.

The alert system of the jade was quite interesting- Lin Yi himself didn’t fully understand it. It was as if it knew his heart, identifying his allies and enemies. It would work if Lin Yi decided that someone was a friend.

It was like a network of friends, applying only to those he was friendly with.

“Earth class!” Lingshan and Yutian were substantially shocked by Lin Yi’s words, looking at each other with open mouths, “Isn’t that the type of strength you see in the legendary hidden houses?”

The two were both from noble houses, and naturally, they understood what being Earth class meant. Even Mystic late phase peak was very rare.

“I don’t know- the world has plenty of weird stuff there. Although, from your perspective, there are only the hidden houses who have Earth class practitioners, there might be earth class fighters that the black groups control as well. Like this thieving world, for example…” Lin Yi said.

“You’re right!” Lingshan said. “My thinking was too limited- I was thinking of only the legal ones, not considering the underground groups!”

“If an Earth class really is here, I don’t advise fighting him. I don’t have a full guarantee of doing anything to him, and having your men catch him would only be even harder. No one would be able to stop him if he wanted to run with someone.” Lin Yi said faintly. “You guys should change your plan a bit. Don’t go into something that you can’t handle…”

Although, if Lin Yi really did want to have a fight with this Earth Class, it wasn’t as if he had no chance. But there was something important he came to this tomb for, and if this guy doesn’t meddle with him, he didn’t care what he did!

He didn’t really mind if LIngshan and Yutian could complete their missions or not. The situation was a bit special now. He needed to prioritize Xiaoxiao.

Yutian and Lingshan smiled bitterly, silent. They naturally knew how powerful Earth class fighters were, with even Mystics being really strong people already! Even Lin Yi said he couldn’t guarantee anything.

They didn’t know which of the graverobbers was that capable, getting even an earth class…

“We’ll have to see how things turn out then…” Lingshan sighed, “I wasn’t able to stop Old Hei from killing today, either; I didn’t make it…”

Lingshan naturally didn’t want anyone to die here- they wouldn’t be able to get the things they’ve stolen, too.

“That’s one less person- the more people that die, the more I can be sure of which side the Earth class belongs too,” Lin Yi said casually.

Lingshan and Yutian were deep in thought. They made some changes to their plan as lin Yi called the Chu house.

Goudan’s voice came through. “Hello? How are you?”

“Er Goudan, it’s me- how are you doing?” Lin Yi didn’t think that Goudan’s voice would be so civilized all of a sudden, even saying ‘how are you’ on the phone.

“Boss, it’s you!” Goudan was a bit emotional. “It’s fine here; I sent the three sis-in-laws to school this morning. I’ll get them tonight! Don’t worry, boss, anyone who touches them will die instantly.”

“Alright.” Lin Yi smiled. “Right, how’s Weiwu? Bring him to the police station to an officer called Liu Wangli later; I’ll talk to him about it.”

“General Weiwu? Alright!” Goudan nodded. “Alright, I’ll do that in a bit.”

Lin Yi suddenly remembered General Weiwu when they were in the tomb- if he were here, then he’d have less trouble and more guarantees. After all, dogs had powerful noses, and this would also be a backup of Lin Yi’s! If he didn’t fight to earth-class, that would be better, but if they did fight, he could use the bomb and also use General Weiwu as a healing trump card, repairing his damaged nerves quickly!

If he didn’t have Weiwu with him, it’d be bad if he died all of a sudden in the tomb!

After calling Goudan, he got Lingshan to call Wangli and have him bring the dog over. Lin Yi would drive out to personally get him.

In the Xiao’s villa, Xiao JI was hurriedly calling Xiao Ben to come back from the company.

In House Xiao, the business part was all Xiao Ben managing it, while Xiao Ji spent his time as the head of the house, not doing anything, in name only. Although this was better for Xiao Ji.

“Brother, what happened for you to call me back so suddenly?” Xiao Ben said as he rushed home.

“Brother, good news! Lin Yi is out, and isn’t home- this is the best time for us to get Chu Pengzhan!” Xiao Ji said. “A while back, we weren’t able to touch House Chu, and that’s really big pain for me! This is a chance we can’t miss!”
