Lin Chen felt a flash of cold light before his eyes, and his heart leapt with alarm.

"Damn it, Xiaodi, you don't have a thing for hardcore stuff, do you? That could kill someone." Lin Chen's body contracted upwards, and the sharp dagger stabbed into the bed instead.

An Xiaodi lifted her head, and a pretty face emerged from her hair in front of Lin Chen.

Seeing that face, Lin Chen froze; it was not An Xiaodi but her sister, Anna.

Lin Chen was instantly dumbfounded and hurriedly called out, "Anna, it's me, Lin Chen, what's wrong with you?"

Anna's eyes were a bloody red, firmly fixed on Lin Chen.

From her mouth came only one word: "Kill, kill, kill!"

Anna swung the dagger in her hand towards Lin Chen's throat.

"Damn!" With a strong flick of his wrist, the rope tied around his wrist broke, and the next instant Lin Chen's hand shot out to tightly grab Anna's wrist.

"Anna, it's me, I am Lin Chen!"

However, no matter how Lin Chen called out to her, Anna had no response; she acted like a robot, launching attack after attack on Lin Chen.

Lin Chen dodged left and right, constantly trying to find a way to awaken Anna, but no matter how hard he tried, it had no effect.

"Damn it, since it's like this, I can only apologize." A fierce light flashed in Lin Chen's eyes as he decided to capture Anna first.

Lin Chen suddenly launched an offensive towards Anna, dodging to her back in a flash.

"Smack!" Lin Chen's palm struck Anna's neck.

If a regular person were hit with Lin Chen's palm strike, they would surely faint, but Anna had no reaction, and a leg sweep attacked between Lin Chen's legs.

God damn, Lin Chen was immediately frustrated, 'How can you forget everything else but remember this despicable move!'

Lin Chen lifted his wrist and grabbed Anna's lower leg, but Anna forcefully pulled back.

"Rip!"

Anna's trousers were torn directly by Lin Chen, revealing her snow-white thighs.

However, in that moment, Lin Chen froze; Anna's legs were covered with runes, and looking towards the rest of her body,

He saw that everything below her neck was shrouded with mysterious runes.

What is this! Lin Chen's pupils abruptly narrowed.

Just then, Anna suddenly leapt to the window. Just as Lin Chen was about to follow, he noticed a trail of blood flowing out from the bathroom door.

"Xiaodi!" Lin Chen was shocked, and no longer concerned with chasing Anna, he rushed into the bathroom.

Thankfully, An Xiaodi was only knocked out and not in any life-threatening danger.

Just then, Lin Chen suddenly heard the sounds of a fight coming from downstairs, accompanied by the sound of thunder, followed by a piercing scream.

"No good, that's Anna's voice." Lin Chen dashed to the window, but it was already too late.

He saw Tom holding Anna's head while currents of electricity surged into her body.

"Bastard!" Lin Chen's face changed drastically, and he leaped down with a swift step.

Tom, looking at Lin Chen at the window, made a contemptuous gesture, then threw Anna aside by the road, got into a car by the roadside, and sped off.

Lin Chen leapt from the hotel window, and when he reached Anna, he checked her breath and found she was already without breath.

"Anna!" Lin Chen held her guiltily in his arms.

Although Lin Chen had not had many encounters with Anna, she was an elite of the Dragon Group who had shed blood for China, yet Lin Chen watched helplessly as she died right before his eyes, despite having the chance to save her.

At that moment, Lin Chen's phone rang. The call was from Hei Mo: "Boss, we've been ambushed on our way to escort Zuo Siqi home. The enemy is strong, and we can't hold out much longer."

"Damn it, let's fight back, shall we!" Lin Chen was enraged, he made a call to Duo Ming, instructing him to take Anna to the hospital, while he himself drove at top speed towards the location of Zuo Siqi's mishap.

By the time Lin Chen arrived, Jin Long and Hei Mo were covered in blood, and all the bodyguards sent by the Family Head had perished, lying in a pool of blood.

At that moment, the two of them were under attack by four men in black, barely holding on.

"Bastards!" Lin Chen leaped out of the car, flashed behind the four men in black before they could react, and with a swift leg whip, sent one of them flying. The other three, upon seeing Lin Chen's face, turned to flee.

However, Lin Chen almost single-handedly sent the remaining three flying with his fists.

Although these men were Nascent Soul Realm experts, they were powerless against Lin Chen.

Lin Chen checked on Hei Mo and Jin Long's injuries; fortunately, they were only superficial wounds.

Tossing two bottles of healing potion to them, Lin Chen pulled open the car door.

Zuo Siqi was huddled inside the car, obviously frightened.

Cold light swirling in his eyes, Lin Chen said to Jin Long, "Wake these people up and interrogate them. You must find out who sent them."

"Yes!" Jin Long and Hei Mo nodded, tightened the ropes around the captives, and threw them into the vehicle.

Lin Chen personally escorted Zuo Siqi back to the villa; meanwhile, Duo Ming's call came through.

An Xiaodi had been taken to the hospital and was not in serious danger, and Anna's body had been taken to the morgue by the ambulance that arrived later.

Today's events had unfolded too abruptly, first with the appearance of Anna, whom the Dragon Group had long been searching for, then Prince Eight appeared out of nowhere and killed Anna for reasons unknown, and at the same time, Zuo Siqi was attacked. These events all seemed to have happened simultaneously.

At that moment, Jin Long came in from outside and whispered a few words to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen nodded and followed Jin Long into the villa's basement.

By then, the four assassins were tightly bound, their energy channels sealed, rendering them no different from ordinary people.

All four assassins, now drenched from the cold water and awake, watched as Hei Mo wielded a whip. Despite the bloody marks on their bodies, they all kept their mouths shut, refusing to speak.

Lin Chen approached them and chuckled lightly, "It seems you men are pretty tough. But in front of me, there are no lips that can't be pried open."

As his words fell, Lin Chen's eyes flashed, and one of the assassins appeared dazed.

Lin Chen instructed Hei Mo, "Untie his ropes."

Once untied, the assassin knelt before Lin Chen with a thud: "Master!"

The other three assassins stared dumbfounded. This man was their leader, most loyal to the Family Head. No one would have thought that without any torture, he would kneel and acknowledge Lin Chen as his master.

"Who are you? Why did you want to kill Miss Zuo, and who sent you?" Lin Chen asked coldly.

The assassin replied word for word: "My name is Zhao Er, sent by the Family Head Hong Tiancheng to capture Miss Zuo. The Family Head said Miss Hong needed this person?"

"Zhao Er, you son of a bitch, how dare you betray the Family Head."

"You spineless traitor!"

Silence ensued as Lin Chen's gaze flickered and the others instantly shut their mouths, unanimously exclaiming, "Master!"

"Miss Hu! It seems this vixen is causing trouble again," Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.

Just then, Lin Chen's phone suddenly rang. He answered to hear an urgent voice: "Lin Chen, come to the police station immediately. Anna's body has disappeared!"
