"Face of the heart? I'm quite curious, why don't you give me Ling Yi, any face of the heart? Besides, what face of the heart do we have between us?" Ling Yi said disdainfully to Zheng Feng.
When the female assassin saw Ling Yi turn around, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, and with a flick of her arm, a small dagger appeared in her hand.
Without hesitation, he stabbed at Ling Yi's neck.
" Ling Yi, watch out!" Liu Yunxiang exclaimed in alarm.
"Watch out!" Zhang Huai and Guan Qing'er exclaimed in alarm.
Zheng Feng was even more shocked; he never expected that this woman was actually an assassin.
If Ling Yi dies here, the consequences will be far beyond what Zheng Feng can bear, and even the entire Dihao Cloud Court and the entire Zheng Family may not be able to withstand them.
"Clang!" Without turning his head, Ling Yi extended two fingers and precisely caught the dagger that was thrust at him.
"Clang, clang!"
With a slight effort, Ling Yi snapped the dagger in two, and the broken dagger fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
"Wow!" Zheng Feng was dumbfounded.
Zhang Huai's lips trembled, and he almost blurted out the word "Wocao".
Liu Yunxiang breathed a sigh of relief, and then, to everyone's astonishment, she kicked the equally frightened female assassin to the ground.
Think that's all? Not at all.
After kicking the female assassin to the ground, Liu Yunxiang Leap, bent her knee mid-air, and slammed it into the assassin's abdomen.
"Hiss!"
This was painful not only for the female assassin, but even for an outsider to watch.
The female assassin's pupils bulged from the impact, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
This time, he was severely injured and maimed.
Ling Yi then remembered that Liu Yuxiang knew martial arts, and it was her family's martial arts.
Three years ago, he had a glorious record of single-handedly crippling more than a dozen thugs.
However, Liu Yunxiang looked delicate and frail, and since she had rarely displayed her skills over the years, Ling Yi had forgotten about it.
"Martial arts, huh? I could ask Yunxiang to teach me sometime!"
Ling Yi currently only has attributes but lacks skills, making it easy for him to deal excessive damage in Combat.
If someone gets killed, that would be troublesome too.
Learning martial arts techniques isn't about killing people, but about learning how to avoid killing them.
Seeing that Liu Yunxiang was about to attack—no, to kick the female assassin, and aiming for her temple—he decided to strike.
Ling Yi quickly reached out to stop him.
"Hey, hey, that kick could kill someone! It's unnecessary!"
"That woman dared to lay a hand on my man! I'll make sure she's dead!" Liu Yunxiang roared.
"Calm down, calm down." Ling Yi felt both touched and amused.
This was the first time he had seen Liu Yunxiang in this state.
"Are you alright?" Liu Yunxiang asked worriedly, checking Ling Yi's neck.
"Don't worry, your man is very strong, she can't hurt me."
"Hmm! Hmm?" Liu Yunxiang breathed a sigh of relief, but after seeing the broken dagger on the ground, she looked at Ling Yi with a face full of doubt.
"How did you do that?"
"We'll talk about it when we get back!" Ling Yi couldn't very well tell them that his Battle Power was now over a thousand points, making him Transcendent, could he?
Moreover, Ling Yi hasn't come up with a good reason yet!
"Report it to the authorities!" Ling Yi said, glancing at the half-crippled female assassin.
"No, we can't report this to the inspection department!" Zheng Feng quickly stopped him.
Ling Yi shrugged, took Liu Yunxiang's hand, and walked straight outside.
He could understand why the investigation wasn't reported; after all, if this matter were to get out, Zheng Feng would be the first to suffer.
After all, he was in charge of the security at the venue.
Especially with such a big event as the bidding meeting today, if the investigation is reported and the bidding meeting is delayed, Zheng Feng will likely be thrown out by the Zheng Family to take the blame for such a huge responsibility.
Then Zheng Feng is finished.
"This..." Seeing Ling Yi leave, Zheng Feng was at a loss for what to do.
Zhang Huai glanced at him, frowned, and said, "Don't make a fuss for now. Deal with it after the bidding meeting is over."
Zhang Huai didn't want this matter to delay the bidding process, so he didn't recommend reporting it to the authorities now.
As for Guan Qing'er, she looked at the female assassin on the ground, a look of sorrow and anger appearing on her lovely face.
The assassin was after her.
She also guessed who was behind it all.
"I really underestimated your ambition and madness," Guan Qing'er murmured softly.
" Qing'er, how do you plan to handle this matter?"
" Uncle Zhang, you can arrange it as you see fit. Just follow the proper procedures!" Guan Qing'er said in a mature tone that didn't suit her age.
Zhang Huai knew about Guan Qing'er's family situation and could guess the general idea.
"Don't worry, Uncle Zhang will definitely find out who's behind this. These people have no bottom line!"
Guan Qing'er nodded, and then walked out of the private room.
In the end, only Zhang Huai and Zheng Feng remained in the room.
"Old Zhang..."
"You are far inferior to your father. Do you even know what the consequences would be if Ling Yi or Guan Qing'er got into trouble with you?"
"I know!" Zheng Feng said dejectedly.
"No, you don't know. You're arrogant, conceited, and conceited. You think Ling Yi is just a nouveau riche, so you look down on him deep down."
"I... I didn't!"
You know best whether it's true or not!
Zheng Feng remained silent. Did he look down on Ling Yi? It seemed so.
Ling Yi acted too much like a poor boy who had suddenly become rich; not only was he ignorant, but he also acted like a country bumpkin in every way.
Even though Zheng Feng didn't show it, and even though Zheng Feng believed he didn't mean to look down on Ling Yi, his inherent arrogance and conceit were unchangeable.
"Forget it, you'd better watch yourself!" Zhang Huai shook his head and left the private room.
Zhang Huai and Zheng Feng had no real relationship; Zhang Huai only knew Zheng Feng's father and they had some connection.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have said these things to Zheng Feng.
After Zhang Huai left, Zheng Feng's expression changed several times before he coldly snorted and said, "Sooner or later, I will trample all of you under my feet."
At this moment, Ling Yi, Liu Yunxiang, and Guan Qing'er had already returned to the venue.
The bidding meeting starts at 1 p. m., so there's still a little over an hour to go.
The three of them were sitting in a corner of the venue, chatting.
" Ling Yi, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would be dead. I can never repay your life-saving grace, I can only..."
Liu Yunxiang quickly made a stop gesture. "Little girl, stop right there. You want to offer yourself to me? No way! Ling Yi is mine."
"Sister, I can be your mistress!"
"Little what?"
"A concubine, Xiao San, anything is fine!"
"Listen to your outrageous words! You're the daughter of the richest man in North Leaf Province, the heir to billions in assets, and you'd give him a saleswoman as a Xiao San? Are you out of your mind?"
Guan Qing'er shrugged. "What can we do? Ling Yi is richer than our family. I can't think of any other way to repay him except by offering myself to him!"
Clearly, Guan Qing'er had also had Ling Yi investigated.
There were two pieces of information found: one was that Ling Yi had trillions of yuan in cash in the bank, and the other was that the source of the money was a top-secret file, and given her status, she couldn't find out anything about it.
The weight of those four words, "top secret file," is enough to demonstrate Ling Yi's extraordinary background.
"Brother Ling Yi, what should I do?" Guan Qing'er looked at Ling Yi.
"Don't ask me, I listen to Yunxiang about everything."
Ling Yi's answer satisfied Ling Yi Liu Yunxiang, making her seven years of waiting for him worthwhile.
Just then, Ling Yi's phone rang.
The caller ID is Bai Xiaomeng!
Ling Yi frowned and answered the phone, but it was Bai Xiaoqing's voice that came from the other end.
