EBE Chapter 188 First! Assassination
Chapter 188 First! Assassination
Chapter 188 First! Assassination
It was 9 p.m., and the moon and stars were few.
In the lobby of the Longshou Mountain villa, Lin Tianhu sat upright on the sofa.
The board members were all hiding in their respective rooms, each protected by at least two experts from the Lingfeng Sect.
The sect leader of Lingfeng Sect even personally protected Lin Tianhu.
Several body-refining level 9 experts stood guard at the entrance.
Two snipers were crouching in the bushes outside the door.
There was also a sniper and three body-refining level 9 experts crouching on the roof.
Everything is ready; we await the inevitable outcome.
"Old Lin, aren't you overthinking this? How could that little brat possibly come to Longshou Mountain in the middle of the night?"
The sect leader of Lingfeng Sect picked up his teacup and blew on the foam:
“Gao Xuan isn’t stupid. He knows your relationship with my Lingfeng Sect, so he definitely won’t bring anyone with him.”
"That Gao Xuan is really something, he's been working for that old bastard Lin Tiancheng for half his life!"
"The old man's gone, yet he continues to work for his grandson; he doesn't know what's good for him!"
Lin Tianhu took out a handkerchief and wiped the skull staff:
"Gao Xuan is a loyal servant, it's a pity he risked his life for Lin Tiancheng!"
After saying that, Lin Tianhu looked into the distance, where all was quiet outside the window.
He shook his head helplessly again: "He probably won't come. That kid's pretty good at bluffing."
The sect leader of Lingfeng Sect laughed heartily.
The atmosphere inside the villa was relaxed and pleasant.
Lin Tianhu knew Lin Fan's identity; he was the son of Lin Tiancheng's illegitimate son.
Before his death, Lin Tiancheng mentioned to Lin Tianhu that he hoped Lin Tianhu could help Lin Fan more.
However, Lin Tiancheng didn't mention much more about Lin Fan, not even his name.
This made Lin Tianhu somewhat suspicious, wondering if his elder brother was wary of him.
However, in Lin Tianhu's eyes, no matter who the other party was, he was a bastard and unworthy of inheriting the Lin family business in Shancheng.
Moreover, what can someone in their early twenties accomplish? Their experience and qualifications are far inferior to his.
At this moment, four corpses lay on the roof of the villa, none of them knowing who the murderer was before they died.
Lin Fan was also standing on the roof, arms crossed, surveying the situation below.
There was a sniper on each of the flower beds on the left and right, and three lookouts in front of the gate.
After confirming the situation, Lin Fan installed a silencer on his pistol, loaded it, and aimed at one of the snipers.
After aiming for a few seconds, Lin Fan put down his pistol: "Never mind, they look like mercenaries."
Lin Fan tucked his pistol into his waistband and used his stealth footwork to instantly disappear from the rooftop.
When they reappeared, they were on the balcony of a bedroom somewhere.
Lin Fan looked into the room through the glass and saw a young man in his twenties harassing a pretty young woman.
The two were barely clothed and were engaged in a sexually provocative act.
The man is Lin Jia, the grandson of Lin Tianhu.
The pretty young woman was a disciple of the Lingfeng Sect and was sent to protect Lin Jia, but unexpectedly the two of them ended up getting together.
"boom--"
"Whoosh, whoosh."
Without hesitation, Lin Fan pulled the trigger and fired two bullets in quick succession.
The bullet shattered the glass and landed inside the heads of the two people who were having sex.
Almost at the same moment the two died, Lin Fan disappeared from the balcony.
"what sound?"
The sound of breaking glass reached the next room, where a middle-aged couple, escorted by disciples of the Lingfeng Sect, came to check on the situation.
The middle-aged man and woman felt a chill run down their spines when they saw Gou He and his companion being shot dead.
"How could these two be dead? And one after the other." The Lingfeng Sect disciple was astonished by the manner of the death of the fellow sect member.
"Don't worry about that, someone's already here, go and inform the master!"
The middle-aged man shouted, "Help! Lin Jia is dead!"
"Lin Jia is dead?"
"what's the situation!"
The sound echoed throughout the third floor, and everyone living on that floor came out and gathered in front of Lin Jia's house.
The board members and Lingfeng Sect disciples, totaling more than 20 people, were all terrified.
The attack came without warning; if the glass hadn't broken, Lin Jia's death might not have been discovered until the next day.
For a time, people were filled with fear and unease, and everyone felt insecure.
"Look, Lin Jia's balcony curtains aren't even fully drawn. He's still engaging in such underhanded behavior at a time like this, which gives the enemy an opportunity!"
Lin Xuan then said excitedly, "Lin Jianzhi knows he is no match for us, so he can only send assassins to kill us. It must have been done by a sniper in the distance!"
The other members nodded in agreement:
“That makes sense. We should all close our doors and windows and shut ourselves off so we won’t be assassinated. As long as we get through tonight, we’ll be safe.”
Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and inadvertently noticed a person standing on the balcony of Lin Jia's house, with a sinister smile on that person's face.
"What--"
Lin Xuan had just opened his mouth when a bullet pierced his forehead, and his body stiffened as he fell heavily to the ground.
This scene terrified everyone; several of the younger girls from the Lin family were so frightened that their legs went weak and they collapsed to the ground.
The Lingfeng Sect disciples looked in the direction the bullets came from and only saw curtains being blown by the wind.
"Sniper! There must be a sniper. Let's stop hiding and go to the living room. It's safe there!"
Lin Jia's younger brother, Lin Yi, panicked: "If we keep hiding, we'll be assassinated one by one!"
"Just like my dad said, Lin Jianzhi is no match for us, which is why he sent people to assassinate him."
"As long as we're all together in the living room, he'll be helpless!"
More than 20 people rushed to the living room, but no one paid any attention to the three dead men.
Upon entering the living room, Lin Tianhu looked at the group of people with a puzzled expression:
"Why did you all come down here instead of staying inside?"
Lin Yi, scrambling for his life, ran to Lin Tianhu's side and knelt at his feet.
"Grandpa, Lin Jianzhi sent assassins who killed my dad and my brother!"
"What! Lin Xuan and Lin Jia are dead?"
Lin Tianhu was utterly shocked, panting heavily: "This Lin Jianzhi actually sent assassins! What a coward, an ant!"
"This kind of person is not fit to be the head of the Shancheng Group!"
"Grandpa, please calm down. Don't get sick from anger. Shancheng Group will be yours sooner or later."
The sect leader of Lingfeng Sect tried to persuade him from the side.
He drew his sword from his waist and slashed through the air:
"Everyone, please stay in the living room. It's safer there. Tomorrow, after we give Lin Xuan and Lin Jia a proper burial, I'll retrieve Lin Jianzhi's head to be buried with the two martyrs!"
Lin Tianhu breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for your thoughtfulness!"
Everyone knew that since Lin Jianzhi had sent assassins, there was no need to be afraid. As long as they banded together and got through the night, Lingfeng Sect would take over Shancheng Group for them the next morning.
Lingfeng Sect, as one of the four major sects and the leader of the four fierce tigers of the mountain city, possesses extraordinary strength.
Its sect leader, Zhan Shilong, is an absolute master of the Transcendent Realm, whose skill is slightly superior to that of the Huayun Sect leader.
But for some reason, Lin Tiancheng only received Hua Yunzong during his lifetime, which made Zhan Shilong hold a grudge.
Later, Lin Tianhu treated Zhan Shilong as an honored guest and provided Lingfeng Sect with substantial financial support.
Through this back and forth, Lingfeng Sect and Lin Tianhu's faction colluded together.
