Chapter 176: The Terrifying Female Assassin
by xennovelChapter 176: The Terrifying Female Assassin
“Haha, you’re so funny.”
The female officer flashed a coquettish smile, her sweet grin dazzling enough to sway any man.
Xiao Yu cooperated willingly, his face betraying an infatuated expression.
At that moment…
Beneath the tray held by the female officer, a streak of silver skimmed by, aimed straight at Xiao Yu’s throat.
“Quick, precise, deadly!”
Xiao Yu sighed.
The world is truly terrifying.
Surely only his sister’s embrace could ever offer him warmth.
Smack!
Xiao Yu clutched the female officer’s wrist.
His eyes locked onto that silver flash.
A knife, smaller than a scalpel yet far sharper!
Just imagine the outcome if such a blade were pressed against your throat!
Your arteries, your throat… sliced open in an instant, leaving you voiceless.
The moment he gripped her wrist, a leg known as “247” lashed out, aiming at Xiao Yu’s groin.
Xiao Yu stepped back, pulling her arm along to offset the kick.
The female officer lost her balance and lunged forward.
Thud!
Xiao Yu’s knee slammed into her delicate face.
Blood splattered as her pretty features contorted.
Wasn’t that like ruthlessly crushing a flower?
Unbelievable!
Moreover… Xiao Yu was taken aback.
An average person, hit in the face, would be drowning in tears and snot—let alone fighting back!
Yet, even as her face was injured, the female officer steadied herself and raised her thigh once more, aiming a kick at Xiao Yu’s side.
A cold glint of determination flashed in Xiao Yu’s eyes.
Crack!
The female officer’s wrist was twisted apart while Xiao Yu’s palm slashed toward her kicking ankle.
Thud!
The impact of foot against hand rang out.
Still not done… With a swift twist, the female officer rotated her body from vertical to horizontal, sweeping her other arm.
She even managed to catch the falling knife and thrust it toward Xiao Yu’s abdomen.
A surge of mortal danger flashed through Xiao Yu’s heart.
Is this what a killer is like?
Even with one hand disabled, she could unleash such lethal force.
An ordinary officer would have been dead in an instant!
Snap!
Xiao Yu gripped the female officer’s wrist once again and crushed it.
Stone-like bones shattered under the overwhelming Bear Force!
But…
Despite both her hands being rendered useless, the female officer remained silent.
Then, she launched another thigh kick.
This time, the kick wasn’t aimed at Xiao Yu.
She knew her strength wouldn’t harm him.
Instead, her kick was directed at the falling knife.
Smack!
A flash of cold light, like silver liquid, streaked toward Xiao Yu’s chest.
In an instant, Xiao Yu dodged and his hand was even faster, seizing the knife.
He slashed at the kick that was now aimed once again at his neck.
Pfft!
The female officer’s ankle was sliced open.
Think it’s over?
No!
The female officer seemed almost immune to pain.
Still on her feet, she used the strength of her single good leg to spring forward at Xiao Yu, her mouth agape.
Two rows of stark white teeth bared themselves, lunging toward Xiao Yu’s neck…
Honestly, Xiao Yu’s scalp tingled with fear.
He’d never encountered anyone so unhinged.
Nor had he ever seen a woman so unrestrained.
Even with both hands compromised, she attacked with wild ferocity.
She was even willing to kill using her teeth.
She spared no tactic!
Xiao Yu had to admit, he had underestimated the killer profession.
He had underestimated these lunatics!
Thud!
Xiao Yu’s thigh descended like a battle axe onto the female officer’s head.
Boom!
The female officer was blasted away, crashing into the wall before sliding down like a painting, lifeless on the ground.
“Phew!”
Xiao Yu exhaled a long, relieving breath.
Wang Dong had already burst out of the interrogation room.
The commotion had drawn in several police officers.
They stood rooted, staring at the female officer lying amid a spread of blood.
Their glances toward Xiao Yu grew unsettled.
“Killer!”
In just those two words, Xiao Yu offered no further explanation as he handed the knife to Wang Dong.
When Wang Dong saw the knife, his eyes widened instantly, his pupils contracting in shock.
He dared not catch it immediately.
He knew that a failed catch could mean injury, even the loss of fingers.
One could only imagine how fearsomely sharp and terrifying that blade was!
Taking the knife with extreme caution, Wang Dong glanced at it before turning his gaze to the female officer. In a deep tone he asked, “How did you find out?”
“The shoulder badge.”
With a sly smile, Xiao Yu remarked, “First-class Inspector?”
“Uh!”
Everyone noticed that the female officer’s shoulder badge looked off this time…
How could she possibly be a First-class Inspector?
Yet Wang Dong fixed a strange look on Xiao Yu.
“Aren’t you a Third-class Police Superintendent yourself?”
How dare you question someone’s rank?
Unflustered, Xiao Yu met Wang Dong’s gaze and said, “I earned my stripes.”
Wang Dong rolled his eyes. “You’re something else!”
Admittedly, that was impressive.
At just twenty-two, with four first-class merits under his belt.
How could an ordinary person compete with a monster?
They simply stand no chance!
The female officer was carted away as the corridor monitors were reviewed.
No one spoke when they saw the brutal scene in the blood-soaked corridor.
A collective gasp rippled through the room.
Faces turned pale, and fear gripped everyone.
If they were in Xiao Yu’s shoes facing such an assassination attempt by a woman…
Could they have survived her onslaught?
The answer is…
They wouldn’t even dodge her first stab.
Death was inevitable!
Wang Dong’s face darkened with anger.
How dare someone from the police’s investigative unit commit murder?
He recalled those cups of tea.
Something was definitely wrong!
If Xiao Yu hadn’t noticed in time, who knows if drinking them…
could have landed the female officer in the interrogation room?
Worse yet, if they had also drunk the tea…
Wang Dong’s face turned ashen.
He couldn’t bear to imagine the consequences!
“It was aimed at Xia Xingchen.”
Xiao Yu said calmly, “It must have been a silencing hit.”
“Mhm.” Wang Dong nodded.
That was exactly what he suspected.
It confirmed that Xia Xingchen certainly held secrets linking him to the Assassin Group.
“Looks like we’ve caught a big fish!”
Wang Dong felt an overwhelming sense that they were onto something real.
“Don’t be ridiculous,”
Xiao Yu shook his head. “No boss would let a mere salesman know too many secrets.”
“Uh!” Wang Dong was momentarily stunned.
“Even that female officer… that female assassin is just a minion!”
Thinking over this, Xiao Yu’s expression darkened.
The most terrifying of all was the assassin capable of orchestrating accidents!
