Chapter 47: Sniper

An Xueyao, accompanied by a group of bodyguards, walked out of the Tianqiong Building in a grand procession, looking like a princess surrounded by her entourage.

Lin Chen followed behind them. Compared to the stern-faced bodyguards around An Xueyao, he appeared more relaxed and casual.

It had to be said, An Xueyao was truly beautiful.

Her features were exquisite, especially her large, watery eyes, which sparkled with a captivating charm. She exuded a grace and elegance that was hard to describe.

Dressed in a simple long dress, she looked refined and unique, like a flower in a secluded valley.

The most alluring aspect was her noble demeanor, which had a fatal attraction for men, much like the Himalayas, inspiring a desire to conquer.

People in the company treated her with great respect, and many male employees couldn't help but stop and secretly admire her as she passed by. Lin Chen noticed a few men swallowing their saliva as they watched her back.

Although this was a famous entertainment company in Huaxia with numerous stars, An Xueyao remained the most eye-catching.

Beautiful and wealthy, such a woman was coveted by almost every man in the world.

If one could marry her, then both beauty and power would be within reach, leading to a perfect life.

"Pervert, walk faster. You're so slow, it's like you're taking a stroll." An Xueyao turned around and said to Lin Chen, clearly dissatisfied.

Lin Chen was speechless. How did he become a "pervert"? This nickname was not very flattering.

But then he thought about it; he had just tricked her into giving him her first kiss, so it seemed he couldn't really argue with her calling him that.

At the entrance of the Tianqiong Building, eight Audi cars were parked, all of which had been specially modified with bulletproof glass.

An Xueyao stood next to one of the cars, and a bodyguard had already opened the rear door for her.

"Lin Chen, you sit in the back seat with me," An Xueyao ordered.

The others, upon hearing An Xueyao's words, looked at Lin Chen with envy. An Xueyao usually didn't like having anyone sit next to her, and now she was asking Lin Chen to sit beside her. They also knew that this guy had just taken their young mistress's first kiss.

The bodyguards, while jealous of Lin Chen, began to admire him. To be such a formidable bodyguard was simply idol-worthy.

Lin Chen didn't think too much about it, nodded, and walked towards An Xueyao.

But at that moment, Lin Chen suddenly felt a sense of danger. In an instant, that sense of danger reached its peak, and his heart seemed to stop beating for a moment.

He now had an exceptionally keen sense of danger.

Without any hesitation, he darted forward, grabbed An Xueyao, and fell to the ground, then rolled to hide behind an Audi.

Lin Chen's sudden action startled An Xueyao.

She shouted in anger, "Ah! Lin Chen, what are you doing—"

"Bang!"

Before she could finish her sentence, a loud thud sounded, and a hole the size of a thumb appeared in the Audi's body, causing the entire car to shake.

The scene seemed to freeze for a moment, and then everyone started to panic.

"Damn! There's a sniper!"

"Quick! Protect the young mistress! She mustn't be harmed. How could there be a sniper in the city!"

"Is the young mistress okay? Are you hurt?"

"The sniper is probably still on a nearby building. Everyone, be careful!"

...

The bodyguards shouted in shock and fear. If Lin Chen hadn't tackled An Xueyao, their employer would already be dead!

An Xueyao was also terrified by the sudden situation, screaming and desperately clinging to Lin Chen, her whole body trembling.

She was a superstar and the future heir of Tianqiong Entertainment, but in such a situation, she was just an ordinary woman, clearly frightened and panicking.

Seeing her pale face, Lin Chen gently patted her back and comforted her, "It's okay, everything's fine now."

The bullet had come from their left rear. Now that they were hiding behind the Audi, the sniper couldn't hit them again.

Lin Chen glanced at a window on the 7th floor of the building to their left rear. If he wasn't mistaken, the bullet had come from there.

"It's really okay now. Follow Sister Hong, and I'll go find that sniper."

Lin Chen planned to find the sniper, but An Xueyao clung to him like an octopus, refusing to let go.

"No. Lin Chen, sniff, don't go, I'm scared. Take me home, I want to go home."

An Xueyao, seeing Lin Chen about to leave, burst into tears, tightly gripping his clothes, unwilling to let go.

The recent attacks had already made her as skittish as a frightened bird, and the appearance of a sniper had completely terrified her.

Lin Chen glanced at the sniper's location again, estimating that the delay had given the sniper enough time to escape.

He nodded and said, "Okay, I won't go. Don't be too scared, everything's fine now. I'll take you home right away."

With that, he picked up An Xueyao and got into the back of an Audi, telling the nervous Xu Gang, "The sniper missed and probably won't attack again. He's likely already far away. Let's take Miss An home first."

He then pointed to the building to their right rear and said, "Send a few people to check the second-to-last room on the left side of the 7th floor of that building, see if they can find anything."

"Sure, Mr. Lin, I'll send people right away," Xu Gang replied, then arranged for a few bodyguards to escort An Xueyao home.

Zhao Hong, sitting in the front passenger seat, turned around with a worried look and asked, "Xueyao, are you okay? Are you hurt?"

An Xueyao finally calmed down. Hearing Zhao Hong's question, she was about to answer but suddenly glared at Lin Chen coyly, "Lin Chen, where are your hands?"

Lin Chen was taken aback. In the heat of the moment, he hadn't noticed where his hands were. Now, hearing An Xueyao's words, he looked at where his hands were.

His left hand was around An Xueyao's upper body, passing through her slender back and resting on her ample chest, while his right hand was on her firm buttocks.

He hadn't noticed it before, but now, feeling it carefully, the sensation was truly excellent, almost as if his hands were being pushed away by the softness.

This woman, dressed in a long dress, didn't show much, but the figure hidden beneath was surprisingly well-endowed.

Lin Chen grinned and said, "If you think I'm taking advantage of you, why don't you get out of my arms? Staying in my arms means you're enjoying it, right?"

An Xueyao glared at Lin Chen in embarrassment, quickly getting out of his arms and sitting properly on the side. She refused to admit that being in Lin Chen's arms made her feel very safe and comfortable.

"Red Sister, I'm fine," An Xueyao said to the concerned Zhao Hong.

Zhao Hong sighed in relief and then said angrily, "These criminals are really audacious, daring to shoot in broad daylight. They deserve to die! Starting tomorrow, I'll talk to the chairman and strengthen the security around the company several times over. This must never happen again."

An Xueyao, clearly still shaken, nodded.

Lin Chen stopped joking and said seriously, "Now that even a sniper has appeared, it's clear that someone is trying to kill you. Do you know who it is?"
