Chapter 18: A False Alarm That Left Me Laughing and Crying
Just as the killer fled, several figures who were originally just wandering on both sides of the street suddenly stopped and shouted in unison, chasing after the fleeing figure.
This scene, falling into the eyes of other pedestrians nearby, was just a look of astonishment, simply because no one knew what had happened in that short period of time.
It wasn't until then that Xǔ Yú, who had turned around in anger, suddenly realized that his furious outburst was a bit too impulsive.
After all, he had to face was a gunman, although the jade pendant in front of him had just suddenly appeared with a strange ability and had helped him block two sniper shots. But when he regained his composure, Xu Yu suddenly realized that the jade pendant, when blocking bullets, seemed to have consumed a lot of power, once, making a jade pendant lose its warm and comfortable feeling. After the brief two shots earlier, there was only one jade pendant left on his body that still had a feeling.
This sudden awakening, however, gave Xu Yu a shock, and he was completely sober.
"I infused a jade pendant with spiritual energy, can it block a bullet?! Then the pendant would be ruined?! What was that airflow just now?"
In a state of shock and uncertainty, Xu Yu's face was also gloomily terrifying, he really couldn't think of who had such a great grudge against him that they would want to put him to death?!
Could it be Li Dang? He designed a trap for himself and still wasn't satisfied, he actually wanted to thoroughly kill himself before being content?
In an instant, Xu Yu's face turned deathly pale and his entire body seemed to emanate a chill.
Just then, from behind, a voice filled with reverence and gratitude suddenly reached Xu Yu's ears, "Thank you so much for your help, friend."
"Huh?" As he spoke, Xu Yu's body stiffened again, and then suddenly turned around, looking back. He saw the middle-aged man from earlier, who was now staring at him with a mixture of fear and gratitude in his eyes, which were filled with shock.
However, Xu Yu was shocked by the other's words. The bullet just now was shot at him? Was it that someone wanted to kill this middle-aged man, not him?
Xu Yu turned around, his face gloomy and staring over, although the other party did not have any obvious murderous aura, but the middle-aged man still shuddered violently, after having just witnessed with his own eyes the inhuman ability of the man in front of him, he had already developed a great sense of reverence for him.
Caught a bullet with his bare hands, and looked so casual about it... If this got out, I reckon some people would believe it. At least, the middle-aged folks know that in certain circles, there are people who aren't afraid of bullets. But those people, aren't they all existence that inspires awe?
And it seems that those people who are said to be immune to ordinary bullets, can't even stop the young man in front of them from intercepting with such ease?
In that scene just now, the middle-aged man was thoroughly shocked. What a joke! This young man who looked ordinary, actually possessed such a miraculous ability?
No matter what, even if still puzzled, facing Xǔ Yú at this time, the middle-aged man can only treat him with a mixture of reverence and apprehension.
Facing a middle-aged man with an anxious and nervous face, Xuyu's eyes flashed again with a hint of abnormality. But afterwards, he also confirmed that the bullet was indeed not aimed at him, because he just remembered that the bullet had almost grazed his cheek, even if he hadn't blocked it, it wouldn't have really threatened his life. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.
But now, in this situation, he temporarily didn't know how to deal with it either. His own terrifying performance was actually discovered by an outsider...
He glanced at her again and turned around, walking away in one direction.
"Ah, friend!" Seeing Xu Yu wanting to leave, the middle-aged man was suddenly startled and hastily opened his mouth. But at this time, the beautiful woman from behind hurriedly rushed over with the little girl in her arms, looking at him anxiously, "What's going on?"
The beautiful woman didn't see Xu Yu being shot at all, she was completely focused on the little girl who fell down, and at this moment, she was extremely surprised, why the middle-aged man let his daughter fall down without taking care of her, but instead chased after Xu Yu.
"Don't follow us!" Seeing the two women following, the middle-aged man's face changed, and he whispered a sentence before hastily chasing after Xu Yu. When Xu Yu stopped, the middle-aged man took out a business card and said respectfully, "Thank you, friend, for driving away that killer and saving my life. I, Lin, will never forget this kindness. If you need any help from my family in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."
Standing there, he took another glance at the middle-aged man. Although Xǔ Yú's expression was unpredictable, he still put away his business card and took a look. On it were only three big characters: Lín Zhōng Zhì, along with a contact number.
Lin Zhongzhi? Xu Yu naturally didn't recognize him, his expression unchanged, only faintly opening his mouth to say, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave."
He now really wants to leave here as soon as possible, being discovered by this middle-aged man with his terrifying ability. He is even more unwilling to stay, let alone that he is also extremely shocked by the jade pendant's ability.
I thought that jade pendant could sell for a million, which was already an astronomical price, but I didn't expect it to have such an incredible ability.
Looking at Xu Yu's indifferent face, Lin Zhongzhi still wanted to say something, but in the end he just opened his mouth and said, "Then I won't disturb you."
"En." Xǔ Yú nodded and turned to leave, but this time he didn't head towards his destination, instead turning around to walk back home.
Joking, such a jade pendant would actually surge out a layer of invisible air to protect its own life in times of danger? He really didn't dare sell it anymore.
After all, if it were just a simple beautiful jade, that would be fine. The world is not lacking in truly good jade, but now these jade pendants are not only good jade, they're magical.
If it's really sold out, it's hard not to cause a sensation.
As soon as he thought of this, Xu Yu suddenly felt depressed again. Just because he had just discovered that the jade pendant's ability was good, at least having it by his side was equivalent to having an extra life. But if he couldn't use it, then hadn't these past few days been spent in vain excitement?
That...
Isn't he going to have to find a new job again?
He was at a loss as to whether he should cry or laugh.
Just as he walked away, Lin Zhong, who was still in a state of awe, slowly came back to himself and then took out his phone and dialed the number.
As soon as the phone number was dialed through, a concerned and indignant old voice came from the other end, "Zhong Zhi, are you injured? Who did it?"
"Dad, don't worry, I'm fine. I know who's behind this, and I'll take care of it. But just now... it was really unbelievable..." Lin Zhongzhi understood the anger in that voice, for he himself was also furious. Linzhou was the Lin family's stronghold, yet he had almost been ambushed to death. However, if not for this incident, he might not have discovered that there were indeed such extraordinary people in the world.
"What? What's going on?" As soon as Lin Zhongzhi spoke, the voice across from him immediately paused, filled with even stronger doubt.
Lin Zhongzhi immediately coughed lightly and hastily explained, "Just now, when I was about to be shot..."
Quickly, Lin Zhongzhi recounted the events of just now over the phone until everything was thoroughly clarified. Only then did he notice that his forehead and back had once again broken out in a layer of cold sweat. Nevertheless, he remained still, waiting for the conclusion from the other end of the line.
