Chapter 113: The Eerie Bullet Hole

Even though she was in Huaxia, Luo Bingyun’s situation was not safe. The guards sent by her family had already dealt with several waves of assassins, coming from various sources. They had even discovered the top-secret troops of the authorities.

Fortunately, the power the Luo Family cultivated in secret was not to be underestimated. The surrounding area was very tightly sealed. These people almost had no chance to get close to Luo Bingyun. They would even be attacked as soon as they entered the Donghai area.

Luo Bingyun herself probably did not know much about all this. After all, these hidden forces only needed to protect her; they did not need to report to her how many opponents they had stopped.

Just when Luo Bingyun was having a headache over family matters, the phone on her desk rang. Looking at the number, she saw it was her secretary calling from outside.

“Hello, President Luo. The front desk downstairs says a person named Lin Mu is here to see you, but he doesn’t have an appointment. Should we let him come up?”

A look of joy flashed across Luo Bingyun’s face. She was worried about family affairs, and unexpectedly Lin Mu actually came. Was it a case of great minds thinking alike, and he knew she was alone and upset right now?

“Let him come up. Tell the front desk that from now on, whenever he comes, just let him come up directly.”

Luo Bingyun hung up the phone, then immediately took a small mirror from her bag and fixed her makeup, checking if any part of it was smudged.

The elevator was very fast. In just a few minutes, Lin Mu had already entered the office.

This president’s office where Luo Bingyun was located was on the top floor of the building. Three sides were bright floor-to-ceiling windows. Whether for view or scenery, it was an excellent choice.

“Wow! This office is really luxurious!”

Lin Mu exclaimed exaggeratedly, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked down, like a country bumpkin who just entered the city.

“What made you think of coming here? Don’t you have classes today?”

Luo Bingyun gave a light laugh, stood up, walked behind Lin Mu, wrapped her arms around his waist, and gently rested her head on his shoulder.

“What classes? I finished learning all that long ago. I went back and realized I missed you too much. I couldn’t calm my mind at all, so I had to come back.”

Lin Mu turned around with a grin, hugged Luo Bingyun’s waist, and his hand unconsciously slid onto her perky, full buttocks.

“Annoying, this is the office. Don’t mess around.”

Luo Bingyun smiled shyly but showed no intention of stopping Lin Mu.

“Scared of what? There’s no one else but us.”

Lin Mu gave a firm squeeze with his big hand, moved his head forward, and already kissed the beauty’s red lips.

Luo Bingyun could no longer care about anything else. Her beloved man was right in front of her; she just wanted to give herself to him recklessly.

Just as the two were locked in an inseparable kiss, the back of Lin Mu’s head suddenly went numb. A cold chill ran straight down his spine.

Without time to think, Lin Mu hugged Luo Bingyun and directly made a flying leap. The two fell behind the guest sofa. Just as they dodged away, a crack sound was heard.

A bullet hole the width of a little finger appeared on the floor-to-ceiling window. Around the bullet hole were fine cracks, but the entire pane of glass did not shatter. Instead, it remained intact, embedded there.

Luo Bingyun was not inexperienced. When she was abroad, she had been attacked many times. As soon as she was startled, she realized what was happening. Then she raised her right hand and snapped her fingers.

Lin Mu just gave her a puzzled look and hadn’t had time to ask when, accompanied by a swish sound, all the floor-to-ceiling windows instantly turned frosted, losing their previous transparent quality.

“How could this be? Could it be the assassin hasn’t left?”

Lin Mu looked in astonishment at the small hole in the glass. With his eyesight, he even estimated the size of the bullet hole perfectly. Then, in his mind, he quickly reviewed the surrounding buildings.

Combined with the knowledge he gained from studying in the Dragon Protection Corps, in just a few seconds, he had reverse-calculated the bullet trajectory and locked onto the Sniper’s position.

“Are there security guards in the building?”

Lin Mu shielded Luo Bingyun behind him and asked without turning his head.

“Yes, why?”

“Not ordinary security guards. I mean the elites your family sent to protect you. Is anyone nearby?”

“Hmm, there are some too.”

“Have them come immediately to protect you. I’m going after this person!”

A glint flashed in Lin Mu’s eyes. He turned, holding Luo Bingyun’s hand, and quickly left the office.

“You stay here. Don’t go anywhere. I’ll be right back.”

After saying this, without waiting for Luo Bingyun’s reply, Lin Mu flashed and directly rushed into the hallway.

He didn’t take the elevator down; he directly ran down the stairs.

Using his own strength, for the elevator to match Lin Mu’s speed going downstairs, unless the rope broke and it crashed directly to the first floor, it would be possible.

In less than a minute, Lin Mu descended the stairs from nearly fifty floors high down to the first floor.

If he wasn’t mistaken, the target should be on the third building straight ahead, also on the rooftop.

Running quickly on the street to near that building, Lin Mu looked up and assessed it. After confirming the location, he directly went in through the fire escape. Just as he climbed to the thirtieth floor, a white man in a black suit happened to be coming downstairs.

This white man wore sunglasses. Seeing Lin Mu at the corner, he was suddenly stunned. Without waiting for Lin Mu to speak or make any move, he abruptly drew a silenced pistol from behind him, raised his hand, and fired several shots.

When Lin Mu saw this person, his heart tightened. Before he could confirm anything, this person had already drawn his gun and started shooting at him.

However, facing the enemy directly, although Lin Mu’s speed couldn’t match a bullet, it was definitely faster than this white man’s. As soon as the other made a suspicious move, Lin Mu had already dodged away.

The two were separated by the staircase corner. With Lin Mu’s dodge, that white assassin immediately lost sight of him.

Just as the assassin came down one step, preparing to check Lin Mu’s position, a white light suddenly flashed at the railing in the stairwell.

Then this white assassin’s foot twisted under him, and the whole person directly tumbled down the stairs. Blood was already flowing from his ankle.

It turned out that when Lin Mu dodged earlier, he took a coin from his pocket. It was the change he got when buying breakfast, but now he used it as a Hidden Weapon.

Even falling leaves and flying flowers, with the boost of Zhenqi, had remarkable destructive power, let alone a coin originally made of alloy?

So with this hit, that white assassin immediately felt his foot go weak, and his whole body lost balance.

Seizing this opportunity, Lin Mu flashed forward and delivered a Hand Blade chop to the person’s neck.

Without any surprise, the assassin immediately fell unconscious.

Carrying the assassin with one hand, Lin Mu directly quickly went up the stairs to the rooftop. Sure enough, on the rooftop patio, he found a neatly packed black briefcase.

Opening the briefcase, he saw inside a fully disassembled Barrett Anti-Materiel Sniper Rifle.

Taking out his Mobile Phone, Lin Mu called Luo Bingyun.

“Bingyun, have your people come over. I caught an assassin here.”

By now, five guards with balanced figures were standing beside Luo Bingyun. All five wore ordinary jackets and jeans, looking no different from regular people.

“You guys go over there and bring the person back.”

Luo Bingyun reported the address, and immediately two of the guards turned and left the room.

A short while later, Lin Mu returned alone to the rooftop office.

Just as he was about to approach Luo Bingyun, the three guards standing to the side silently took a collective step forward, blocking in front of Luo Bingyun.

Looking at the three expressionless guards, Lin Mu was slightly taken aback.

“You can go down now. A-Mu will keep me company here. As for that person, interrogate him thoroughly and find out exactly where he came from.”

Luo Bingyun quickly said.

“Miss, we are ordered to protect your safety. It’s better not to trust strangers so easily.”

One of the guards said flatly, his eyes never leaving Lin Mu.

“Hmph! If it weren’t for A-Mu earlier, you’d be collecting my corpse by now. What protection is that?!”

Luo Bingyun immediately snorted coldly.

The previous situation was indeed like that. If Lin Mu hadn’t come here and she had remained sitting there working, the assassin would probably have shot wherever he aimed, directly killing her with one shot.

“Alright, Bingyun, they are human too; it’s unavoidable to have oversights sometimes. Don’t blame them too much.”

Lin Mu smiled slightly. His body flickered, and in an instant, he had passed the three of them and arrived directly in front of Luo Bingyun.

The three guards all had looks of disbelief in their eyes, as if they couldn’t believe Lin Mu had passed them so easily.

“What are you all standing there for? Why aren’t you quickly finding out that assassin’s background?!”

Luo Bingyun coldly scolded.

The three guards immediately bowed their heads in acknowledgment, then quickly left. They were quite self-aware.

After witnessing Lin Mu’s strength, they knew staying would be useless. If Lin Mu wanted to harm the young lady, even if they all attacked together, they wouldn’t be his match.

“A-Mu, are you okay?”

The two returned to the office, and Luo Bingyun asked with concern.

“I’m fine. That assassin was probably specialized in firearms; close combat wasn’t my match, and I subdued him easily. But we still don’t know his background for now. Your people will need to interrogate him thoroughly.”

Lin Mu smiled and shook his head, then looked at the glass around them.

“This design isn’t very good. Three sides are transparent floor-to-ceiling windows. It’s too easy for others to observe your position. For a Sniper, it’s an even more desirable situation.”

“It was designed this way for lighting at the time. But I also considered the risk of being attacked, so all this glass has been replaced with bulletproof glass made of special materials. I didn’t expect it to be pierced by this assassin’s shot.”

Luo Bingyun sighed, frowning, and also glanced at the floor-to-ceiling window.

“I checked the firearm the assassin used. It was a large-caliber Barrett Anti-Materiel Sniper Rifle. But normally, even such a high-powered Sniper Rifle should shatter the entire pane of glass. Why did only a small hole appear?”

Lin Mu walked to the window, puzzled, and touched the hole the bullet had made.

The sensation from his fingers told him the edge of the hole was very smooth, with no cutting feeling at all. It was as if the bullet had instantly melted the glass, rather than piercing a hole through it.

“It doesn’t make sense. The characteristics of a bullet shouldn’t be like this!”

Lin Mu was utterly perplexed. This completely contradicted the theory he had read in books.
