Chapter 136: Tie Lin Escapes Disaster Once Again

In the banquet hall of the Liuguo Fandian in Beiping, the lights were dazzlingly bright.

The sounds of gongs, drums, and fiddles from the Peking opera were deafening, intertwining with the noisy chatter of guests clinking glasses to create an unreal sense of celebration.

Tie Lin and Guan Baohui sat at a table in the corner.

Yet Tie Lin's gaze remained like a nail, locked firmly onto Liu Rusi, who was wearing a red cheongsam at the main table.

"That vixen looks so bewitching, is she your lover?" Seeing Tie Lin's distracted state, Guan Baohui's jealousy surged instantly.

"Shut your mouth, I'm still on a mission!" Tie Lin whispered a rebuke, his eyes still not leaving the target.

At this moment, Gu Xiaobao from the Qingyin Small Class walked gracefully past Tie Lin; she lightly patted his shoulder and said in a coquettish voice: "Tie Lin, you haven't visited me in a long time. Did you get a promotion and now think my temple is too small?"

"Pah! You shameless hussy! Flirting with someone's husband right in front of his wife, have you no shame!" Guan Baohui immediately shrieked.

"I'm here to carry out a mission, don't cause trouble for me!" Tie Lin pushed Gu Xiaobao away casually.

"Tie Lin, if you don't bring money home, is it all spent on this vixen?" Guan Baohui persisted relentlessly.

Tie Lin did not speak, still staring fixedly at Liu Rusi.

Just then, a plainclothes agent hurried over, called Tie Lin aside, and whispered something.

Gu Xiaobao swayed her snake-like waist and walked straight to the main table, sitting skillfully beside Deputy Mayor Tian.

She even leaned into Liu Rusi's ear and whispered a few words; the two of them glanced toward Guan Baohui at the same time, their lips curling with a faint sneer.

Guan Baohui could no longer suppress the anger in her heart; she stood up abruptly and rushed toward the main table like a whirlwind.

"Bitch! You dare to seduce my man! I'll beat you to death today!" Guan Baohui raised her hand to strike Liu Rusi, but the other woman caught her wrist with quick reflexes and slapped her back with a loud crack.

This crisp sound was particularly jarring in the noisy banquet hall.

"You ignorant thing! I've given you enough face, haven't I?" Liu Rusi scolded coldly.

As a former princess of the previous dynasty, Guan Baohui had never suffered such public humiliation, even though her family had fallen on hard times.

Tears welled up in her eyes from the grievance, and she cursed: "You cheap slut, you dare hit me? Just wait, just wait, I'll have my Tie Lin deal with you!"

Another slap landed, and Guan Baohui's left cheek immediately swelled up red.

"What does Tie Lin amount to?" Liu Rusi scolded.

At this moment, Tie Lin hurried back and found that Guan Baohui was not in her seat; he looked around and saw her being slapped.

Tie Lin was burning with rage and stepped forward quickly: "Miss Liu, you've gone too far. Why did you hit my wife? You, don't be too arrogant; sooner or later you'll suffer for this!"

Guan Baohui chimed in from the side: "Tie Lin, beat her for me! She's nothing but a streetwalker, what's so great about her!"

"Shut up!" Tie Lin barked a command to stop her.

Seeing that Tie Lin not only couldn't vent her anger but was also yelling at her, Guan Baohui felt extremely aggrieved; she covered her face and ran toward the door.

Liu Rusi sneered and straightened her sleeves: "Group Leader Tie, you two are making a scene here; have you forgotten your status?"

Tie Lin gritted his teeth and pointed at Liu Rusi: "You just wait and see!" After saying this, he turned to chase after Guan Baohui.

He was completely unaware that two dark figures were already quietly following behind him.

At the entrance of the Liuguo Fandian, Ma Kui, the Group Leader of the Third Action Group, was leading a patrol.

In the cold night of early winter, he suddenly felt the urge to urinate, so he paced into a dim alley behind the hotel, relieved himself against a pile of firewood, and hummed an off-key tune.

Just as he finished tying his belt and turned around, a figure stood up from the firewood pile like a ghost!

A cold light flashed; Ma Kui only felt a chill in his throat, and warm liquid sprayed out.

He let out a strange sound, widened his eyes, and slowly collapsed, dying without ever seeing the killer's true face.

This person was none other than Feng Qingbo. He had been hiding in the firewood pile waiting for the nine o'clock operation, never expecting someone to walk right into his trap.

He nimbly dragged the body deep into the firewood and scattered withered branches and leaves to cover the bloodstains; the whole process was silent, as if nothing had happened.

Tie Lin was chasing Guan Baohui on the street when he suddenly heard someone calling him.

Looking back, it was Jin Hai, Dayingzi, Xu Tian, and Jia Xiaoduo.

"Second Brother, is that Guan Baohui leaving in the car ahead? She wouldn't answer me when I called her," Xu Tian asked.

"She's throwing a tantrum with me, don't mind her!" Tie Lin waved his hand irritably.

"Big Brother, how did you all end up together?" Tie Lin asked in confusion.

"The restaurant we opened officially opened today; we asked you to come and show your support, did you forget?" Jin Hai complained.

"He's a big official now, how could he still have our little shop in his eyes?" Dayingzi added sarcastically.

"Big Brother, I'm truly sorry; I've been busy with official duties lately and really did forget," Tie Lin apologized.

The two people following behind Tie Lin saw that the other side had many people and knew Jin Hai was a ruthless man, so they quietly withdrew.

"Big Brother, I still have a mission today, so I won't keep you company; let's meet another day!" Tie Lin turned to leave.

A crisp gunshot tore through the night sky, followed immediately by intense gunfire and terrified screams erupting from the direction of the Liuguo Fandian.

Tie Lin tried to rush back, but was held back firmly by Jin Hai.

Xu Tian shouted anxiously: "Second Brother, are you crazy! Do you want to run into the line of fire?"

Xu Tian pulled Jia Xiaoduo and ran desperately into the alley, while Jin Hai pulled Dayingzi and Tie Lin along with them.

The group quickly disappeared into the street; what Tie Lin did not expect was that he had escaped disaster once again.

Time rewinds five minutes.

Inside the banquet hall, the guests were gradually dispersing; Bureau Chief Liu was patting his belly, his face glowing as he shook hands with Deputy Mayor Tian to say goodbye. "Deputy Mayor Tian, please be sure to visit our Secret Service Bureau to provide guidance on our work when you have time."

"Certainly, certainly," Deputy Mayor Tian agreed with a smile.

Liu Rusi stood quietly to the side with a polite smile on her lips, while internally counting down the last moments of Bureau Chief Liu's life.

Bureau Chief Liu wrapped his coat tightly, tied his scarf, and walked toward his official car with a pompous gait.

Just as he stepped off the stairs in front of the hotel—

A bullet precisely pierced his brow, his head exploded like a watermelon, and red and white matter instantly splattered onto the stone steps.

Feng Qingbo put away his Sniper Rifle from his hiding spot and quickly ran into the complex alleys.

The sound of the gunshot became the signal that ignited the chaos.

The entrance to the restaurant instantly exploded into turmoil! Guests scattered and fled like headless flies; the screams of women, the roars of men, and the sound of shattering glass all blended into a mess.

The men from the Secret Service Bureau Action Team instinctively drew their Pistols, but they could not find a target to shoot at.

Just as they looked around in bewilderment, lethal bullets were fired from all directions!

These long-ambushed gunmen were clearly well-trained, specifically targeting those holding weapons.

The men of the Action Team were hit and fell to the ground one after another, losing more than half their number in less than a minute.

At the same time, Wang, the Bureau Chief of the Police Bureau who was still in the banquet hall, was scared out of his wits; he scrambled and crawled toward the second floor to escape, because his long-term suite was there, and his weapon was there too.

He fumbled to take out his key, wanting to open the door; once he got inside the room, he would be safe.

The moment the door lock was opened, a short person who had been tailing him pounced like a ghost and viciously plunged a Dagger into his back.

Wang slowly collapsed, dying with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

The short person dragged his corpse into the room, gently closed the door, and left calmly.

When a large number of soldiers arrived at the scene, only a scene of total devastation remained.

Surrounded by guards, Liu Rusi walked to the side of the shaken Deputy Mayor Tian and said softly: "Foster father, the danger has been eliminated; I will escort you back to the residence."
