CHAPTER 166: CHAPTER 166: AN UNBELIEVABLE ATTACK

Ji Ning’s words were a reality check, shattering Bai Xiaotang’s long-held beliefs, and breaking the carefully constructed ivory tower around her."

Even a princess should recognize reality.

Bai Xiaotang pursed her lips silently, very saddened but internally agreeing with Ji Ning’s words.

This related to the two months of living in Anhe, being subtly influenced by Ji Ning, Ye Tong, and others for so long, even an idiot would start to see things differently.

Ji Ning ended the conversation without elaborating.

Some things aren’t understood just by talking; many require personal experience and understanding.

The car was extremely quiet inside.

Until Ji Ning drove to the airport parking lot.

She suddenly received a call from Bai Yusen.

Ji Ning asked Lin Yuanyang to take Bai Xiaotang to exchange the tickets first, while she walked aside to answer the phone.

On the phone, Bai Yusen’s tone was as urgent as expected, "Ji Ning, what’s happening? I heard from Aunt Zeng that you were ambushed?"

Aunt Zeng still hadn’t told Bai Yusen about Bai Yulin and Chang Ru’s matter.

This was her decision to step forward.

Ji Ning sneered inwardly but still briefly told Bai Yusen, "We were ambushed, the orchestrator being the Bai Family, aiming to keep Bai Xiaotang in Beijing and simultaneously provoke tension between the Bai Family and the Lin Family."

Bai Yusen’s eyes narrowed, his hand on the table suddenly clenched into a tight fist.

"Who was it?"

"Not entirely sure, but Aunt Zeng said it was Bai Yulin."

Bai Yusen’s eyebrows furrowed; Aunt Zeng hadn’t mentioned Bai Yulin on the call!

What was going on?

On the phone, Ji Ning seemed to be entering the airport, surrounded by some noise, but Bai Yusen didn’t delay her further, asked a few details, and then hung up.

Ji Ning put away her phone and walked slowly towards the airport ticket counter.

Beijing, indeed the power center of Hua Continent, had an area five times larger than Anhe Airport, with an endless stream of people coming and going.

There were all sorts of people...

Ji Ning’s pupils instantly widened, followed by a sharp cry, "Lin Yuanyang!"

Her figure disappeared from her original spot, and when she reappeared, she was behind Lin Yuanyang, with a swift kick sending the person who stabbed Lin Yuanyang in the chest flying.

Lin Yuanyang was shocked, his lips parted as if he couldn’t believe someone dared to commit such an atrocity publicly in Beijing Airport, especially against him.

Yet, the pain in his chest forced him to accept he was attacked again.

He looked at Ji Ning in disbelief and asked weakly, "Ning... Sis... Am I... going to die?"

Ji Ning embraced his body, half-crouching, her eyes void of any emotion as she glanced at the culprit she had kicked, unmoving on the ground.

This time, she was truly enraged; it was her first real fury since arriving here!

What heinous acts could a twelve-year-old have done to incite such repeated harm?

Not even in the late chaotic era would anyone dare harm a teen under her watch.

"With me here, you won’t die!" Ji Ning’s voice was icy cold, causing those around to instinctively retreat a step, though Lin Yuanyang didn’t feel it, even though he was in pain and cold.

Bai Xiaotang was so frightened she lost her voice, trembling all over without knowing what to do.

Ji Ning looked at her, "Come and pull out the knife!"

Bai Xiaotang’s mind went blank, tempted to faint, but Ji Ning’s voice called her back to partial consciousness.

She forced herself to calm down, crouched, and with trembling hands reached for the handle of the knife embedded in Lin Yuanyang’s chest.

"You can’t pull it out now; he’ll die..." someone bravely shouted.

Ji Ning’s gaze swept over instantly, and that person immediately shut up.

"Everyone back off ten meters!" Ji Ning’s pupils gradually deepened.

The watching crowd began to move back, the surrounding noise seemed to vanish in an instant.

Under Bai Xiaotang’s shock, Ji Ning’s palm suddenly emitted a gentle white light.

"Pull straight up, quickly." Ji Ning’s voice rang out again.

Bai Xiaotang looked at Lin Yuanyang’s bleeding wound, gritted her back teeth, and gripped the knife handle tightly, closing her eyes and pulling quickly, hearing Lin Yuanyang’s painful groan.

Warm blood splattered across Ji Ning’s face.

Bai Xiaotang was afraid of the blood yet forced herself to open her eyes and look.

Even if her body shook uncontrollably.

Without the knife, the wound bled faster.

Ji Ning swiftly applied pressure on Lin Yuanyang’s body multiple times, her glowing palm tightly covering his wound, slowly healing the trauma in his chest.

The knife had hit slightly off-center, not directly at the heart, but preserving Lin Yuanyang’s life would still require effort.

There’s no way to leave Beijing today.

The commotion alarmed the police officers patrolling the airport.

Three uniformed officers rushed over. "Where’s the attacker?"

Yet, passing through the crowd, they found the spectators were quite distant from the scene.

In the very center, four people—one lying on the ground, unclear if alive, and three huddled together, unclear doing what.

Assuming the one on the ground was severely injured, the officer immediately went to check.

Finding the person still breathing, he looked to the other side.

What was the matter? They suddenly sensed an inexplicable chill, like encountering a cold front during the dead of winter, causing physical shivers.

The oldest officer among them recognized something was wrong, braving the mysterious pressure, quickly ran over to them. "Injured? Called for emergency assistance?"

But received no reply; the two crouching on the ground didn’t even look up.

Upon getting closer, the old officer took a sharp breath in shock.

He clearly saw a hand, palm glowing white.

Su... superpower user?

The old officer’s expression changed dramatically, his body slightly trembling, quickly looked around, luckily the spectators were distant enough not to see.

Suddenly, Ji Ning’s gaze lifted, the old officer instinctively straightened up, trying to maintain composure, adopting a somewhat friendly expression, but facing a superpower user in their true form left him uneasy.

His voice wavering, "Evacuate the airport hall immediately!"

Nearby officers were surprised by the captain’s orders.

But didn’t question it, picked up the radio to call for backup.

The old officer looked at Ji Ning, feeling his throat tighten like it was dry from a fire; he had seen a superpower user’s true form.

This one was too young?

"Hi, it’s crowded here. How about transferring to the police station?" The old officer asked quickly as Ji Ning looked his way.

Ji Ning glanced at him, then, with great effort, lifted Lin Yuanyang, who was taller than her, from the ground.

Her strength was astonishing.

The old officer led the way in front, Ji Ning holding Lin Yuanyang, with Bai Xiaotang following behind quickly towards a direction.

Meanwhile, someone hidden in the crowd frowned deeply, their expression unpleasant.

Lowering his head, speaking into a microphone under his collar, "Mission changed, B-level escalated to S-Class!"
