Chapter 805: Invasion!

Qin Bore's heart was full of suspicion, and she walked slowly to the door, full of vigilance.

She did not rashly open the door, but reached out to turn on the electronic surveillance cat-eye screen on the door.

The cold-white surveillance screen lit up, clearly reflecting the two figures outside the door.

Two tall, straight-backed men stood at the doorway, wearing neat building property security uniforms.

Looking at their seemingly proper attire, for a moment no flaw could be seen.

Qin Bore stared at the surveillance screen and, through the door panel, spoke in a low voice to ask.

"Who are you?"

The two men outside heard her voice; their tone was calm, sounding very proper and composed.

"Miss Qin, hello. We are staff of the building's property management."

"The building suddenly suffered an unexpected power outage; we came to your home to help inspect and repair the circuitry."

Qin Bore's brow furrowed slightly; the doubt in her heart was not dispelled in the slightest.

"Inspection? The building's power outage is clearly due to a problem with the main switch of the whole building."

"The problem lies in the main switch of the public area; why are you coming to my home to inspect?"

"The circuitry in my home has no fault at all; there is absolutely no need for inspection."

The two security guards outside, hearing this, unhurriedly gave their explanation.

"Our backend system detected an abnormal alarm in your home's circuit breaker wiring."

"To eliminate potential hazards and prevent future dangers such as leakage or fire, we specially came to your home for inspection."

This explanation sounded reasonable, with no obvious flaw to be found.

But having just been reminded by Lin Yuan, Qin Bore had already become wary.

She instinctively felt that the timing of these two people's appearance was too coincidental and eerie.

"No thanks, my home has no problems at all; I don't need an inspection."

Qin Bore directly refused outright, completely dispelling the thought of opening the door.

She kept her eyes fixed on the surveillance screen, never daring to relax her gaze on the two men outside.

Upon hearing the refusal, the two men outside saw their composed expressions gradually fade.

The two almost simultaneously lifted the corners of their mouths, pulling out a sinister, eerie smile.

That smile was icy and bone-chilling, devoid of warmth, like a lurking evil spirit, terrifying and ferocious.

In the empty, pitch-black corridor, the light was dim to the extreme, the atmosphere gloomy and terrifying.

Just in the next instant, a strange scene suddenly occurred.

The two security guards standing at the doorway vanished suddenly without any warning.

There was no afterimage of running, no sound of retreating footsteps, not the slightest movement.

It was as if they had evaporated into thin air; in just a second, the doorway was completely empty.

The two figures that had been standing there completely disappeared from the surveillance screen.

Qin Bore stared fixedly at the electronic cat-eye's surveillance screen; her pupils suddenly contracted sharply.

The blood color on her beautiful face instantly faded, her complexion turning completely ashen.

A tremendous surge welled up in her heart; she was filled with disbelief, shock, and terror.

What the hell is going on??

How could anyone possess such incredible movement speed, vanishing into thin air in an instant?

This is absolutely not something a normal person could do; it completely defies common sense.

Could those two men in security uniforms possibly not be ordinary humans at all?

Qin Bore's terror had not yet subsided when a piercing roar suddenly exploded.

Outside the door, a violent explosion suddenly erupted, shaking the entire floor slightly.

Boom boom boom!!

Qin Bore's face changed abruptly; she instinctively fixed her gaze on the door panel before her.

The violent impact surged along the corridor, its momentum terrifying to the extreme.

The entrance door of her home was made of top-grade titanium alloy, a specially customized explosion-proof model.

Yet the expected forced entry did not occur; the door panel remained firmly in place.

Lin Yuan beside her, with keen hearing, instantly judged the opponent's method.

Ordinary explosive impact could not possibly affect this sturdy door.

Qin Bore's eyes held a cold glint; she solemnly nodded.

"They are using explosives to forcefully break the door."

"It's an explosive attack, but you can rest assured."

"My entire house is built with an all-weather bulletproof and explosion-proof Safe House system."

As soon as the two finished speaking, the corridor scene in the surveillance screen changed again.

"Explosions of this level are utterly ineffective; they cannot breach the door's defense."

Black mist quickly spread and instantly filled the entire space outside the door.

The pitch-black corridor outside the door suddenly surged with a large amount of thick black smoke.

"It's poisonous smoke; they intend to use toxic gas to drive us out."

Lin Yuan lightly sniffed the air with his nose; his expression instantly became extremely grave.

Qin Bore's face remained calm, her tone steady, without the slightest panic.

"Rest assured, the poisonous smoke cannot seep in at all."

All the gaps in my house's doors and windows have been sealed against poison, and the sealing is maxed out.

Wave after wave of impact force kept pounding on the door panel, making the air roar.

Outside the door, a few deep, muffled explosion booms sounded one after another without cease.

Not a single dent or crack appeared; the defensive strength was astonishingly strong beyond imagination.

But Qin Bore's titanium alloy door remained completely unmoved, its surface intact and unharmed.

He secretly marveled, the strength of this door's material was practically comparable to top-tier military-grade material.

Lin Yuan watched this scene, and couldn't help but feel a surge of shock in his heart.

After the brief turmoil, the explosions and poisonous smoke outside the door temporarily ceased.

Ordinary blasting bombardment, yet it couldn't leave even a trace.

Her posture was calm and elegant, her long silk-stockinged legs lightly crossed together.

Qin Bore's expression relaxed, and she walked back to the living room sofa and sat down.

She gently took a sip of tea, and her exquisite face showed not a trace of panic.

She raised her hand and slowly poured herself a cup of warm water, the motion leisurely and composed.

"Sit down, don't be nervous, just enjoy the show."

She then lifted her gaze to Lin Yuan beside her and softly greeted him.

The whole city was shrouded in dark night, the river breeze surged, and the view was exceptionally open.

Lin Yuan, following her words, prepared to sit down, his gaze unconsciously sweeping toward the night outside the window.

That glimmer was extremely faint and fleeting, vanishing in an instant, imperceptible to ordinary people.

Just then, in a gap of a high-rise one kilometer away, a faint light suddenly flashed.

His heart tightened suddenly, his body's hairs stood up instantly, and his sense of danger spiked.

But Lin Yuan's eyes were sharp; he instantly and precisely caught that abnormal glimmer.

"Uh-oh, it's a sniper rifle!"

Lin Yuan let out a low shout, his voice urgent and fierce, full of vigilance.

This familiar glint is the distinctive light-and-shadow of a sniper rifle scope!

He lunged forward with a sudden leap, instantly pouncing to the front of the sofa.

He hesitated not at all, his body instantly exploding with extreme speed.

Lin Yuan pressed his whole body firmly onto Qin Bore, using himself as a meat shield.

Before Qin Bore could react, he wrapped his arms around her and slammed her hard onto the sofa.

He held Qin Bore tightly beneath him, wholeheartedly blocking the deadly sniper bullet for her.

The next second, a sharp, tearing sonic boom suddenly split the open night.

The high-speed bullet's whistling pierced the night wind, heading straight for the interior.

Whoosh!

Bang!!

A deep, heavy boom suddenly exploded, shaking the air violently.

The entire floor-to-ceiling window violently shuddered, its frame slightly trembling and emitting a low hum.

The high-speed sniper bullet slammed hard into the floor-to-ceiling window glass of the living room balcony.

But the expected scene of the glass shattering and the bullet piercing through did not appear.

Lin Yuan instinctively tensed his body, preparing to withstand the impact head-on.

The clean, transparent floor-to-ceiling window glass remained intact and smooth as before.

As the trembling gradually subsided, the sight before them filled the heart with shock.

A sniper bullet powerful enough to pierce steel plates was actually stopped steady by a glass door.

The glass surface was spotless, not even a hairline crack appearing.

This beyond-common-sense defensive effect left onlookers utterly bewildered.

At this moment, Lin Yuan pressed his whole body firmly, shielding Qin Bore beneath him.

The instant he noticed the sniper rifle locking on, his mind held no other thought.

His heart was filled only with the resolve not to let Qin Bore suffer any lethal harm.

He had no idea about the top-tier defensive level of the indoor glass.

He prepared to endure the terrifying power of that sniper bullet head-on.

So he didn't think twice, directly using his body as a human shield.

Lin Yuan instinctively tensed all his muscles, awaiting the intense pain.

But the anticipated intense pain never came.

The heavy glass impact boom exploded in his ears, reverberating throughout the living room.

At a glance, Lin Yuan stood there completely dazed.

Full of doubt, he slowly turned his head to look at the floor-to-ceiling window beside him.

A sniper bullet capable of easily piercing thick steel plates.

He widened his eyes, staring in disbelief at the scene before him.

The entire glass pane was intact, with no cracks or damage.

Yet it was steadfastly blocked outside by a floor-to-ceiling window pane.

The two were pressed close together in an embrace, the distance as close as possible.

Lin Yuan clearly smelled the faint fragrance coming from Qin Bore beneath him.

Such absurd defensive power completely overturned Lin Yuan's understanding.

Qin Bore, pressed firmly onto the sofa, showed no panic.

That was her unique clean body scent, fresh and gentle, lingering around the tip of her nose.

At close range, Qin Bore could clearly smell the scent on Lin Yuan's body.

She lifted her clear, deep beautiful eyes, quietly gazing at Lin Yuan.

A quiet, ambiguous atmosphere silently spread throughout the dark living room.

A faint scent of traditional Chinese medicine wafted over, the trace left from his days of nursing his wounds.

"You used your body to block the bullet for me?"

After a long while, Qin Bore softly spoke, her tone tinged with emotion and reproach.

"That's a sniper bullet; a single one could directly blast your body apart."

"Aren't you afraid of getting yourself killed?"

Lin Yuan heard this, slightly stunned, a warm feeling surged in his heart, and he blurted out instinctively.

"I'll be fine; as long as you're okay."

His simple, plain sentence, without any flourish, was all the more sincere and moving.

"Your body isn't made of iron; how could you possibly be unharmed?"

Qin Bore gazed at him nearby, her eyes showing emotion mixed with a hint of helplessness.

"That was an extremely powerful sniper bullet; if it hit you, there would be no chance of survival."

"That bullet alone is more than enough to directly take your life."

Lin Yuan, hearing this, was momentarily at a loss, somewhat embarrassed, and scratched his head.

In the critical moment, his instinctive reaction was to protect the person in front of him.

"Um, I didn't think about all that at the time."

Looking at his sincere and pure demeanor, Qin Bore's eyes flickered slightly, and she softly pursued the question.

"So, are you truly willing to sacrifice your life for me?"

He didn't even have time to weigh the pros and cons of life and death; only one thought filled his mind.

The sudden blunt question left Lin Yuan frozen, momentarily unsure how to answer.

Before Lin Yuan could collect his thoughts, Qin Bore's voice sounded again, softly.

The air fell silent for an instant, and the ambiguous atmosphere gained a subtle hint of tension.

"Would you also be willing to sacrifice yourself like this for another woman?"

"Have you before ever risked everything to save another woman like this?"

Lin Yuan's whole body jerked, his eyes flickered, after a brief silence he lightly nodded.

"I have."

Those two short words fell, and the surrounding gentle atmosphere instantly shifted.

Qin Bore's originally soft, water-like beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, a layer of coldness silently covering their depths.

The warm feeling that had just surged in her heart instantly vanished without a trace.

She withdrew all her gentleness, her tone suddenly turning cold, carrying a hint of aloofness and questioning.

An inexplicable sourness welled up in her chest, mixed with strong jealousy, spreading wildly.

"Oh, who else?"

Lin Yuan, hearing this, spoke honestly and straightforwardly to explain.

"As long as they are important friends of mine, I will risk my life to save them."

This vague answer did not dispel Qin Bore's jealousy in her heart.

She furrowed her brows slightly, her tone carrying a hint of stubbornness, not intending to let this issue go.

"I ask you, which other women have you risked your life to save? Speak."

In the midst of their low-voiced conversation, the danger outside the window continued unabated.

In the dark night, the distant sniper position remained locked onto the interior.

Another cold sniper bullet tore through the air, slamming hard into the floor-to-ceiling window.

Bang after bang, the impact sounds continued, one bullet after another relentlessly shooting toward the interior.

Each impact caused the thick glass to shudder slightly.

Fortunately, the top-tier bulletproof glass installed throughout the house had astonishing hardness, its defensive power extremely terrifying.

All the whistling sniper bullets were firmly blocked outside the window.

The glass surface remained spotless, with no cracks or damage appearing.

Lin Yuan watched the incessant bullet impacts, inevitably feeling some worry in his heart.

He subconsciously tensed his nerves, speaking in a low voice to remind Qin Bore.

"If the bullets keep hitting like this, something will eventually go wrong; they might even break through."

"Let's quickly move away from the window area; don't stay here any longer."

Qin Bore, however, was unusually calm, not at all concerned about the attack outside.

She lay prone beneath Lin Yuan, her gaze fixed straight on his face, her tone steady and composed.

"My house's floor-to-ceiling window is made of genuine military-grade bulletproof glass."

"Ordinary sniper bullets can't penetrate it; you don't need to worry needlessly."

Having said that, she immediately composed herself and pressed the question again, unwilling to let him change the subject.

"Don't try to change the subject; I'll keep asking: which other women have you risked your life to save??"

Lin Yuan's face showed a hint of embarrassment; he dared not be vague any longer and could only speak frankly.

"Um, I've saved... my boss, Su Mo Nong, Director Su, and her daughter."

As those few words fell, the subtle atmosphere around them instantly grew more oppressive.

Qin Bore's breath suddenly grew a little heavier, her chest rising and falling slightly.

In the dim light, the chill in her eyes was plainly visible, a cold sensation spreading in waves.

She betrayed no extra emotion, merely continuing to question in a calm tone.

"Anything else?"

Hearing this, Lin Yuan thought it over carefully, daring not to hide anything.

He chose his words carefully and continued speaking softly.

"Also, from the Chi Dao Group, You Nianchu."

At that name, Qin Bore's aura turned utterly icy.

The jealousy and displeasure she had been holding back surged forth.

Her eyes were dark, her tone edged with suppressed anger as she questioned again.

"Anything else?!"
