The instinct of a beast is to sense danger. The leather-clad female killer and Li Wu, the quick-draw, sensed a strong aura of danger emanating from the young man who emerged from the darkness.

Xiaobing's clothes were soaked in blood; a bullet had struck his back but was stopped by his bones, preventing it from piercing through. Somehow, he had managed to stop the bleeding, but the sight of his blood-soaked body still sent shivers down everyone's spine.

Yezi bit her lip tightly, tears falling incessantly. She silently vowed that if anything happened to Brother Bing, she would rush out immediately, not to kill, but to seek death. She would never let Brother Bing feel lonely and isolated in the other world.

Seeing Xiaobing still walk out despite his injuries, Ye Tianming became anxious and shouted, "Don't come over, quickly take my sister away."

Xiaobing sighed and muttered to himself, "Have you ever seen a soldier abandon his comrades on the battlefield? Especially when a tiger meets two little lambs."

The two top-notch killers who had eliminated Ye Tianming's two bodyguards were now referred to as lambs by Xiaobing. Li Wu felt extremely annoyed and said in a deep voice, "You young man, do you know who we are?"

"You're Li Wu, and your organization is called 'Ghost Nest.' As for this beautiful lady... I apologize, but I don't know."

Xiaobing sized up the leather-clad beauty, who was about the same age as him, around 25 or 26. Her tight leather outfit accentuated her perfect curves, and her body was well-proportioned. She had a delicate and beautiful face, but her expression was always cold, making her appear cold and beautiful.

Xiaobing clicked his tongue and kept looking at the leather-clad woman, "Beautiful lady, what's your name? What's your bust size? How old are you? Actually, I had a childhood sweetheart who was later kidnapped. I remember she had a plum blossom mark on her chest. You look a lot like her. Can I see it?"

"Pervert!" The leather-clad beauty shouted, and a dagger flew at Xiaobing like a meteor. Xiaobing didn't seem to dodge, and the dagger flew past his face and embedded itself in the wall behind him.

Xiaobing didn't even look back and said with a smile, "The dagger hit the wall, piercing it sharply without entering my body. This shows your wrist strength is quite impressive, and you often use a dagger to kill. You're an expert. Tsk, tsk, one with a quick gun, one with a quick knife, I'm not lonely at all."

The leather-clad woman said coldly, "Li Wu, the leader instructed us that if we could kill, we should only kill Xiaobing. If we can't, then we should kill Ye Tianming. Let's team up and take out Xiaobing, and ignore the others!"

Li Wu sneered, "Let's take him out first. I hate it when people act tough in front of me. No matter how fast you are, can you be faster than my gun? No matter how tough your body is, can you be tougher than my bullets? Even if a Ming Force expert acts tough in front of me, I'll still take him out!"

As Li Wu was speaking, he suddenly froze. Xiaobing had vanished. The leather-clad woman widened her eyes in terror and shouted, "Be careful, behind you!!!"

Li Wu's body hair stood on end, a chill running from his feet to his head. A mocking, cold voice sounded in his ear, the owner of the voice was very close behind him, so close that he didn't dare to turn around, "Do you think I can be faster than your gun now?"

"Y-Yes..."

As the word "yes" left his lips, Li Wu's eyes bulged, his head exploded, his face shattered, and blood gushed from his seven orifices. Xiaobing's punch, even with only a third of his strength, was terrifying.

Li Wu flew into the air as if riding a cloud, and as he fell, Xiaobing kicked him again. Then everyone lost sight of Xiaobing, and the entire hall could only see Li Wu flying and rolling in the air, with blood raining down like a drizzle, covering the floor.

Since the guests had already fled, only these few people remained in the hall. Apart from the sound of Li Wu being hit, there was only the pounding hearts of the leather-clad woman, Ye Tianming, and Yezi.

Ye Tianming thought, "Xiaobing attacked without a word, his aura is very heavy."

Finally, Li Wu landed with a thud. When his body hit the ground, his limbs were twisted, his neck broken, and his head bent at an impossible angle. His eyes and mouth were wide open, and blood gushed out, still flowing.

Xiaobing had already stood in front of the leather-clad woman. He tidied his clothes and sighed, "Li Wu taught us a lesson."

The leather-clad woman was almost scared out of her wits and said in a dazed voice, "What... what lesson...?"

Xiaobing's eyes had a mocking look, "His death taught us that those who act tough die quickly."

The leather-clad woman swallowed hard and looked at the man in front of her with fear. She had a dagger, her most skilled weapon, but she found that her arm couldn't even lift. The scene was too bloody and shocking, even though she had killed many people and seen many people killed, she had never seen anyone die so shockingly and brutally.

A thought flashed in her mind: Xiaobing was not a human, but a devil. So she started to think about running.

The leather-clad woman glanced at the door, and just as her feet left the ground, Xiaobing's powerful hand grabbed her neck, and her feet couldn't touch the ground again.

Xiaobing held her by the neck, and she began to struggle for breath. She tried to stab Xiaobing with her dagger, but Xiaobing's other hand caught her wrist and twisted it lightly. The leather-clad woman's beautiful face contorted in pain, her wrist broke, and the dagger fell to the ground.

"Sorry, I don't understand what it means to be gentle with women," Xiaobing said, his eyes like a grim reaper, "Tell me, what's your name?"

"Zhan Hongyan."

"Hongyan..." Xiaobing sighed, "You are very beautiful, and your name is lovely. Women with such names should live ordinary lives, marry a loving man, have children, and live a warm family life. Why do you have to fight and kill, risking your life all the time... Tell me, who sent you, who is the mastermind? I won't kill you..."

"I... I..." Zhan Hongyan's other hand clung to Xiaobing's fingers, and she was almost unable to breathe.

Seeing her face turn blue, Xiaobing immediately released his grip. Zhan Hongyan fell to the ground and began to gasp for air.

Xiaobing looked down at her, "Tell me, who is the mastermind?"

"I... I don't know," Zhan Hongyan panted, "The leader gave us the task to kill you. He said you are skilled, and if you are hard to kill, we should target Ye Tianming as a second choice."

Ye Tianming also walked over, and he and Xiaobing exchanged a glance. He noticed something strange in Ye Tianming's eyes, but it was hard to describe.

Xiaobing continued to press, "They didn't tell you to kill Ye Xiaoxi?"

"Ye Xiaoxi? The employer didn't tell us to kill her... We didn't even know she would be here today."

A thought flashed in Xiaobing's mind. It seemed the assassination was related to Ye Tianming asking him to find Zhang Yizhi to treat Ye Bancheng. The target did not include Yezi, which relieved Xiaobing.

Zhan Hongyan felt humiliated but still asked nervously, "Will you let me go?"

Xiaobing shook his head, "You still need to do one more thing for me."

"What... what is it?"

"Take me to your Ghost Nest headquarters."

"That's impossible!" Zhan Hongyan shouted, "Even if you kill me, I won't take you there..."

Xiaobing asked, "Really impossible?"

Zhan Hongyan closed her eyes and said resolutely, "Kill me then!"

She was very beautiful, with smooth skin and a delicate face. When she closed her eyes, you could see her long eyelashes. If you didn't consider that she was a killer with blood on her hands, you might even find her charming.

Xiaobing looked at her seriously and suddenly said, "Alright, you can go."

Zhan Hongyan opened her eyes, her eyes wide with disbelief, and asked, "You... what did you say?"

Xiaobing said coldly, "I said, if you answered my questions, I would let you go. You can leave."

"Thank you... thank you..." Zhan Hongyan hurriedly got up and ran towards the door.

Ye Tianming glanced at Zhan Hongyan's back and then looked at the gun on the ground. He hesitated for a moment but then looked calm.

After Zhan Hongyan left, Xiaobing asked, "Do you think I'm too merciful?"

"On the contrary, I think you have a heavy aura of killing," Ye Tianming said with a bitter smile, "I thought we should hand her over to the police, but since you let her go, let it be. I hope she can reform and stop doing bad things."

"Um."

Yezi ran to Xiaobing and hugged him, her face pressed against his chest, saying, "Thank goodness you're okay, thank goodness you're okay..."

Xiaobing smiled, patted Yezi's back, and kissed her forehead gently, saying softly, "Let's go."

At this moment, police sirens sounded outside, and a group of police rushed in. Seeing the blood on the floor and Li Wu's gruesome death, even the well-trained police felt a chill down their spines and asked loudly, "What happened?"

Ye Tianming walked over, "I'm Ye Tianming from the Ye family. I'll go to the police station with you."

After saying that, Ye Tianming looked back at Xiaobing, "Brother Bing, please take my sister home... Little sister, take a day off and rest. Let Brother Bing take you home to rest."

Xiaobing agreed and, holding Yezi, walked out of the hotel. Then he said calmly, "Your brother has good psychological resilience. After what just happened, he wasn't afraid at all."

Yezi, being quick-witted, immediately asked, "Brother Bing, do you mean something by that?"

Xiaobing shook his head and said calmly, "I just mean that the children of the Ye family, whether your sister or your brother, are not ordinary people..."

Yezi looked at Xiaobing's blood-soaked body and said with concern, "Brother Bing, let me take you to the hospital first."

Xiaobing hesitated for a moment. The bullet in his body needed to be removed, so he agreed, "Okay."
