Chapter 461: Help her stop the bleeding!

Mu Lingxue hid inside the air conditioner vent.

She dared not make any sound.

She listened to the assassin's leather shoes pacing below the maintenance hatch.

Mu Lingxue's heart rose to her throat.

Her fingertips flew across the phone screen...

She opened the police work group again and sent a distress message to the police...

Soon, the police replied instantly: 【On the way! Hold on!】

Mu Lingxue hid in the vent, only able to wait for rescue.

She had no gun at home, and the opponents were many and all armed.

It was obvious: they wanted to kill her!

Mu Lingxue had no chance to fight back at all.

"Boss, this air‑condition panel seems to have been tampered with." Just then, the assassin below spoke up!

That assassin's voice was hoarse, and the tip of his leather shoe lightly kicked the wall beneath the air conditioner.

Mu Lingxue's heart leapt to her throat instantly!

Her curled body was tense like a bow, even her breathing turned into a faint stream.

"Pry it open and have a look." The leader assassin's voice came!

Immediately after came the "creak" of a metal pry bar lifting the panel.

The cover was flung open violently.

A beam from a flashlight shone straight into the maintenance hatch, sweeping across Mu Lingxue's police uniform pant leg.

"Boss! She's hiding in here!" the assassin shouted.

A hand reached in to grab Mu Lingxue's arm.

Mu Lingxue could no longer dodge; she fiercely lifted her leg and kicked that hand.

She used the recoil… and jumped down from the maintenance hatch!

Mu Lingxue landed…

She acted swiftly, lunging instantly at the nearest assassin!

The martial arts she had practiced at the police academy became her key to survival now!

Mu Lingxue slammed her elbow hard into the assassin's temple!

He let out a muffled groan and collapsed straight to the ground…

Mu Lingxue seized the gun from his hand in the same motion!

She pointed the gun at the remaining people.

"Don't move!" Mu Lingxue's voice was panting.

But before she could steady herself…

A gunshot "bang!" suddenly came from diagonally behind!

A bullet shot instantly!

In an instant, the bullet struck her soft buttock!

The excruciating pain spread like fire!

Mu Lingxue's delicate body trembled, and she almost collapsed to the ground!

She had been shot!

Her pistol almost slipped from her hand.

Mu Lingxue gritted her teeth, endured the pain, and pulled the trigger toward the assassins outside the door…

"Bang bang bang!!" Several shots in succession!

Outside the door, it seemed one assassin had been hit several times.

Under Mu Lingxue's attack, the assassins outside were forced to dodge repeatedly.

She seized the chance to get up, pressed her bleeding buttock, and stumbled toward the bedroom door…

Gunfire behind her continued nonstop; the assassins madly chased after her!

Bullets struck the door frame, sending wood chips flying.

Mu Lingxue rushed out of the house… trying to escape.

But she didn't dare take the elevator; instead she slammed open the fire escape door!

She ran down the stairs.

Blood soaked through her police trousers from the buttock; each step felt like stepping on a blade…

Cold sweat trickled down Mu Lingxue's forehead, blurring her vision.

The assassins behind her pursued relentlessly…

Footsteps and angry shouts echoed in the stairwell!

Mu Lingxue kept firing at the stairs behind her, engaging in a gunfight with the assassins inside the fire escape stairwell!

Upstairs, several assassins hit by Mu Lingxue tumbled down the stairs on the spot.

But the assassins were too many.

Still a large group of assassins pursued downward!

When Mu Lingxue pulled the trigger, she only heard the empty click "click"!

Her heart sank!

It's over!

The bullets are gone!

Mu Lingxue could only speed up her steps and rush downstairs.

She endured the excruciating pain in her buttocks and finally made it to the first floor……

She pushed open the fire door, just about to run outside the residential complex……

But she saw two assassins standing at the entrance, guns raised, waiting for her.

A flicker of despair flashed in Mu Lingxue's eyes……

Could it be that she really would fall here tonight?

At this moment, the two assassins had already raised their guns menacingly, locking onto Mu Lingxue……

But just then, suddenly in the night, two tearing-through-the-air sounds swept in with a violent roar!!

Only to see two Silver Needles suddenly shooting forth!!

"Pfft! Pfft!!" The two Silver Needles instantly pierced the acupoints of the two assassins at the entrance!

The two assassins' pupils constricted, their pistols dropped straight to the ground, their bodies knelt, unable to move!

Mu Lingxue looked up in shock?

It was Lin Yuan!

Lin Yuan had somehow already rushed over from afar!

And just then, behind the fire escape stairwell, a group of assassins were also rushing downstairs with guns!

The assassins also came chasing after them!

The assassins' pistols all aimed at Mu Lingxue!

"Be careful!" Lin Yuan shouted!

He lunged forward, directly tackling Mu Lingxue to the ground!

Immediately behind them came the gunfire: "Bang bang boom!!"

Lin Yuan tightly held Mu Lingxue, and the two rolled across the rough concrete!

Bullets grazed Mu Lingxue's hair tips and struck the ground…… kicking up tiny stones!

Mu Lingxue lay in Lin Yuan's embrace, able to smell a faint herbal scent on him……

For some reason, this scent on Lin Yuan gave her an unprecedented sense of safety.

Even though she was now in the perilous situation of being hunted by assassins……

But as long as she smelled Lin Yuan's scent, her heart felt a mysterious sense of safety……

"Hide behind the car!" Lin Yuan supported her arm and stood up!

Lin Yuan half-pushed her…… running toward her Range Rover.

The fire escape stairwell door burst open with a clang!!

Five or six assassins raised their guns and chased out……

The assassins frantically fired at Lin Yuan and Mu Lingxue!

Bullets shot at them like raindrops!

The gunfire was especially piercing in the night!

"Bang bang bang!!" the bullets whistled!

The Range Rover's car door instantly became riddled with bullet holes.

Lin Yuan pressed Mu Lingxue against the rear of the car……

He himself crouched low against the car door.

His fingertips flew fast, pulling three Silver Needles from his sleeve.

Lin Yuan's gaze, like that of a hawk…… locked onto the foremost assassin.

That assassin was about to raise his gun when Lin Yuan snapped his wrist!

The Silver Needle shot like a silver light through the air, precisely piercing the wrist that held the gun!

Ugh!

The assassin let out a miserable cry……

His pistol clattered to the ground…… his wrist drooped at a strange angle.

"Don't expose your head!" Lin Yuan called back, reminding Mu Lingxue.

He then took out two more Silver Needles……

Taking advantage of the moment the remaining assassins were stunned……

Lin Yuan stood up and rushed out!

His movements were as fast as a ghost!

Dodging left and right, he avoided the incoming bullets!

It's hard to imagine that a mere flesh-and-blood body could so strangely evade the bullets' range.

Lin Yuan seemed able to anticipate where the enemy would fire and dodge beforehand.

While dodging bullets, he kept flicking Silver Needles from his fingertips!

One Silver Needle struck an assassin's knee!

The opponent went "thud" and knelt on the ground!

Another lodged in an assassin's shoulder……

That person's gun instantly went out of control, firing bullets into the night sky!

One assassin after another was hit by the Silver Needles……

On the scene, miserable cries continued without end.

Assassins kept collapsing to the ground……

Within just half a minute.

Five assassins were all subdued by the Silver Needle……%

Assassins lay sprawled all over the ground.

Some covered their numb limbs, some curled up and groaned……

The scene was filled with wails rising and falling, yet no one could move even half a step.

Lin Yuan quickly walked up to the leader of the assassins.

He crouched, fingertips pinching a Silver Needle, and coldly angrily questioned, "Speak, who sent you to kill Mu Lingxue?"

That assassin's forehead was covered in cold sweat, his eyes full of fear, yet he gritted his teeth and shook his head:

"I… we don't know! Someone posted a mission on the dark web, gave a deposit, only said to eliminate Mu Lingxue, and left no identity information!"

Lin Yuan's eyes grew colder; he directly plunged the Silver Needle into the assassin's acupoint, and the assassin let out a horrific scream, as if wishing for death.

Lin Yuan coldly snapped, "Will you speak the truth or not?!"

The assassin's whole body shuddered with excruciating pain!

But the assassin still desperately shook his head: "I really don't know! We only take the job, never ask about the employer's identity… please, don't stab!"

The other assassins nearby also chimed in, their tones full of pleading, and they didn't seem to be lying.

Lin Yuan stared at them for a few seconds……

Seeing their eyes filled only with fear and bewilderment, with no hint of evasive deceit,

It seems they weren't lying.

Lin Yuan's expression gradually grew grave; it seemed these assassins truly didn't know who was behind them.

But he knew clearly that Mu Lingxue had recently only strictly investigated the Bai Jinhuan and a few other underworld groups.

Someone able to strike back this quickly is most likely someone from Bai Guiyuan's faction.

Just then, urgent police sirens sounded from afar……

Red and blue flashing lights cut through the night.

Lin Yuan put away the Silver Needle, stood up, walked to Mu Lingxue's side, and helped her move a bit to the side.

The police car quickly stopped at the entrance of the residential complex.

Captain He Gang led over a dozen officers rushing over……

When He Gang saw the assassins lying on the ground, his face sank.

"Lingxue! Are you alright?" He Gang stepped forward and asked with concern.

Mu Lingxue shook her head and said, "I'm fine, Captain He."

"We'll handle these people! First take them back for interrogation to clarify their identities and superiors." He Gang said solemnly!

The officers immediately stepped forward……

They handcuffed the incapacitated assassins, fetched a stretcher, and lifted them onto the police car.

He Gang stepped forward and thanked Lin Yuan a few times.

He Gang said he would assign officers to protect Mu Lingxue.

But Mu Lingxue refused.

Afterward, He Gang also hurriedly left, sending people to interrogate the assassins.

Lin Yuan supported Mu Lingxue and also went back upstairs.

As Lin Yuan helped Mu Lingxue walk upstairs……

His fingertips suddenly touched a warm liquid?

Lin Yuan lowered his head to look……

He saw that Mu Lingxue's dark police pants were already soaked with blood.

Her buttocks had been shot?!

Lin Yuan hurriedly squatted down and examined her buttocks.

"You're injured; the bullet may have damaged a blood vessel! It must be treated immediately! Upstairs first!" Lin Yuan said solemnly!

Mu Lingxue still wanted to protest, saying, "It's just a minor injury, it's fine…"

But Lin Yuan had already scooped her up in a waist hold and carried her upstairs.

The pain in her buttocks grew increasingly intense; she could only lean against Lin Yuan's embrace……

Hearing this man's rapid heartbeat, Mu Lingxue's heart… unexpectedly felt a strange sense of calm.

Lin Yuan carried Mu Lingxue upstairs.

Then he gently placed Mu Lingxue on the sofa.

He didn't observe the propriety of male-female contact, directly removing Mu Lingxue's pants.

Even her briefs were taken off.

Instantly, her snow-white, round, peach-shaped buttocks were revealed.

Sexy and absolutely beautiful.

But on her snow-white peach buttocks appeared a fresh red bullet wound.

Lin Yuan made a quick decision, using the Silver Needle… carefully… to extract the bullet from her buttocks.

Mu Lingxue's delicate body trembled from pain, sweat beading on her forehead.

Lin Yuan softly comforted, "It's fine, just endure it."

But although the bullet was removed from Mu Lingxue's buttocks, the wound still wouldn't stop bleeding.

The bullet had damaged her buttock artery; in a short time, it cannot be staunched.

Mu Lingxue's home also had no hemostatic herbs.

At the crucial moment, Lin Yuan suddenly threw himself down.

He directly brought his head to Mu Lingxue's buttocks.

Then he took Mu Lingxue's peach into his mouth.

The Shennong's Hundred Herbs Classic of traditional Chinese medicine once said that human saliva can staunch bleeding.

So, at this moment, Lin Yuan was using saliva to help staunch the bleeding of Mu Lingxue's peach……
