Chapter 279: Kidnapping and Assassination
It was already noon when Yan Hua woke up before, although he had only met with Bai Qi, Ling Aoshuang and Ye Yin respectively, and by the time he was really free, the time was already close to four o'clock in the afternoon.
But fortunately, since Ye Yin left, no one came to look for him, so Yan Hua also returned to the room to continue to pay attention to Lu Tian's physical condition.
Roaring Heaven is one of his most important hole cards at present, and in the case of not being able to expose Yunling, the sooner he heals Roaring Sky's injuries, the sooner his personal safety in the Eastern Gathering Place can be guaranteed.
Although he had re-established a cooperative relationship with Ling Aoshuang, Yan Hua did not mean to entrust his safety to the Ling family.
Don't talk about anything else, at least Cain definitely won't care about the shadow guards around Yan Hua, the only thing that can make him jealous is probably the "Wind God".
It's a pity that Yan Hua doesn't know how to be a "wind god".
Before Roaring Heaven recovered, he wasn't even sure that he would hold out under Cain's hand until Ling Aoshuang appeared.
Thinking of this, Yan Hua's mind couldn't help but turn over a chaotic mind, and he didn't notice that the sky outside had turned dark without him noticing.
"Lord Yan, it's time for dinner."
April's voice sounded outside the door at the right time, waking up Yan Hua in a daze.
"Please come in."
As soon as Yan Hua's words fell, April pushed open the door and walked in.
It's still a familiar tray, but compared to the simple bowl of porridge at noon, the meal in the evening is obviously much more refined.
"It smells so good!"
Yan Hua looked at the table full of dishes and praised sincerely.
April stood at the table and said, "This is specially explained by the head of the family, Lord Yan, please use it slowly." ”
"It seems that Ling Aoshuang didn't feel any dissatisfaction with me because of what happened before, which is a good thing."
Yan Hua's heart turned around, and then he beckoned to April: "You can also sit down and eat." ”
He just regarded the other party as a friend, but when April heard this, he shook his head without hesitation and said, "These are all prepared by the Ling family for Lord Yan, and I am not qualified to enjoy them." ”
Yan Hua frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Then when I invite you to eat, it will be regarded as a return gift for the bowl of porridge at noon." ”
"......" Seeing Yan Hua's resolute expression, April had no choice but to nod and say, "Then I'm rude." ”
Yan Hua saw April sit down, so he showed a satisfied smile and picked up the food in front of him and ate it.
The dinner table was very quiet, whether it was Yan Hua or April, no one had any intention of speaking, but in this way, the speed of the two of them eating was much faster.
The meals prepared by the Ling family were very rich, even with the help of April, Yan Hua finally failed to adhere to the style of saving food and ate all the remaining meals.
Seeing that Yan Hua had already eaten, April also put down the chopsticks in his hand, stood up and said, "Since Lord Yan has finished eating, then I will retire first." ”
After that, April didn't care about Yan Hua's reaction, and left after packing up the tableware and dividing it by two. This made Yan Hua, who originally wanted to chat with him casually, have to give up.
After giving Wai Tian a gene stabilizing potion, Yan Hua really felt a little uncomfortable, so he decided to go for a walk in the yard.
The night breeze swept across his cheeks, giving people a sense of coolness, and the lights around and not far away illuminated all parts of the Ling Mansion, making Yan Hua feel like a dream, and vaguely seemed to have returned to the world he was familiar with.
"Lord Yan came out for a walk so late, it's really Yaxing!"
Just when Yan Hua felt that it was almost time to go back, a hoarse voice suddenly came from behind the rockery in the courtyard, which attracted Yan Hua's attention.
"What kind of people are sneaky? Come out! ”
April suddenly came out of nowhere, blocked in front of Yan Hua, and shouted behind the rockery and asked.
"Little girl, don't waste your efforts, I've already cleaned up all the people around this courtyard."
A figure in a robe with a strange mask on his face slowly emerged from behind the rockery, and said to April with a smug voice.
As the light in the distance shone through, the mask on the face of the visitor also entered Yan Hua's field of vision.
The mask on the other party's face was split into two from the middle, half of it was a smiling face, half of it was a crying face, it was actually the masked man who had met him in Hidden Spring Mountain before!
"Is that you?"
Yan Hua stared at the mask with a distinctive personality, and his eyes suddenly became solemn.
Rumble!
However, before Yan Hua could react further, April, who was blocking in front of him, heard that the other party called himself a little girl, and suddenly manipulated a violent wind and pressed towards the masked man who appeared!
Call!
The trees in the courtyard swayed from side to side in the wind, and countless pieces of rubble swirled in the air at high speed, enveloping the masked man's figure like a meat grinder.
"Humph! Insect carving skills! ”
Seeing that the storm was approaching, the masked man let out a cold snort of disdain, and then slowly raised his right hand and shook it suddenly in April and Yan Hua's incredible eyes!
Rumble!
The chaotic turbulence swept around, blowing the clothes on Yan Hua's body, making him can't help but squint his eyes.
"You're a Nine-Star Superpower?"
April stretched out a palm to calm down the turbulence around him, and asked with a calm face.
Although it was a question, he had already determined the strength of the mask man in his heart, and the other party had broken his offensive with just one hand, and his strength was definitely above the eight stars!
Faced with April's question, the masked man nodded without hesitation and said, "That's right, this seat is indeed a nine-star superpower. ”
When Yan Hua heard this, his heart couldn't help but sink, and he said secretly: "It's troublesome now." ”
April's strength is naturally not bad, he became an eight-star superpower at a young age, and he can be selected by Ling Aoshuang as a shadow guard, and April itself is definitely at the middle and upper reaches of the eight-star superpower.
However, as in many cases, the higher the level of the superpower, the greater the difference in combat power between the ranks.
Especially the eight-star and nine-star, it seems that there is only one level, but the distance between the two is tantamount to the separation of clouds and mud!
Bang!
As if to prove the gap between the eight stars and the nine stars, the masked man suddenly appeared in front of April and blasted it out with just one punch, but April didn't even have time to defend!
The masked man solved April with one move, and slowly walked towards Yan Hua: "Okay, all the people in the way have been cleaned up, and the next thing is the point." ”
Seeing that the other party was approaching step by step, Yan Hua's heart suddenly calmed down, looked at the other party and asked, "Who are you?" ”
The masked man kept walking, and replied in a hoarse voice, "There is no point in delaying time in front of me, and since I am dressed like this, do you think I will tell you who I am?" ”
With that, the masked man raised his right hand towards Yan Hua and said coldly, "You can die now!" ”
Burst!
Yan Hua's eyes widened, his face was covered with blood, and he looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.
"Quick...... Run ......"
April looked at Yan Hua and said in a difficult tone.
"Huh? Didn't you die before? ”
The masked man looked at April in front of him, who had been pierced through the chest by his own punch, and hummed suspiciously, and then threw April's body out like garbage, and said nonchalantly, "But it's just a dying struggle, and it can't change anything." ”
Syllable!
As April's body fell to the ground, a flashing red light, the size of a button, rolled out of the hole in its chest.
"What is this?"
Seeing this, the masked man's palm stretched out to Yan Hua couldn't help but stop in mid-air, and said in surprise, "Life positioning device? This guy is the shadow guard next to Ling Aoshuang? ”
"Life locators?"
Yan Hua was stunned again, because he knew what the life positioning device was.
The so-called life positioning device is a device used to monitor the vital characteristics of the implanted person, which is generally surgically implanted into the heart, brain and other vital parts of the human body, mainly as a means used by the Supreme Council Prison to prevent criminals from escaping.
This kind of life positioning device usually does not affect the free movement of the human body, but as long as the criminal escapes from prison or riots, the implanter can detonate the miniature bomb carried on the life positioning device within a certain range through a specific code and activation program, so as to directly manipulate the life and death of the implanted person.
However, in addition to the control means, the life positioning device also has a warning function, when the life characteristics of the implanted person drop to the critical point of danger or death, the life positioning device will send a corresponding warning signal to the terminal in the implanter's hand.
Obviously, after April learned that he was not the opponent of the masked man, he chose to protect Yan Hua by sacrificing himself!
Rumble!
Just when Yan Hua realized what the life positioning device meant, an earth-shattering momentum suddenly rose from the center of the Ling Mansion, and then a figure rose into the air like a phoenix spreading its wings, and flew towards the courtyard where Yan Hua was.
"Not good!"
Seeing this, the masked man involuntarily exclaimed, grabbed Yan Hua in a flash of light, and blocked himself in front of him.
Yikes!
The invisible breeze blew, and Yan Hua's face instantly opened a hole.
"Let go, surrender, and die."
Ling Aoshuang hovered in front of the masked man and said lightly.
"Hey!"
The masked man let out a sneer, tightened the hand on Yan Hua's shoulder, looked at Ling Aoshuang in mid-air and said, "If you don't want Yan Hua to die here, it's best not to act rashly. ”
"You're threatening me?"
When Ling Aoshuang heard this, an invisible storm suddenly rolled around her body, and then one after another wind blades slashed towards the masked man from all directions, and it seemed that he was actually preparing to kill Yan Hua together!
Call!
The wind stopped, and the overwhelming wind blade suddenly dissipated in front of Yan Hua, turning into a gust of breeze.
"What do you want?"
Ling Aoshuang looked at the masked man who used Yan Hua as a shield, and asked in a calm tone.
"It's easy, let me go."
Seeing that Ling Aoshuang really threw a mouse, the masked man couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and deliberately showed the other party the hostage in his hand, and then said, "And let's leave together." ”
"It can't be."
Ling Aoshuang replied without thinking.
The masked man shook Yan Hua in his hand again, and said with a threatening tone: "Then the Ling family master can continue to try to kill me, and I can't guarantee the safety of Lord Yan's life at that time." After all, the strength of the Ling family master is transcendent, and I am already very reluctant to protect myself just by protecting myself, and I really can't spare the energy to protect others. ”
“......”
After a period of silence, Ling Aoshuang finally compromised, "Yes, but you have to promise to release Yan Hua back afterwards." ”
"Absolutely."
The masked man replied casually, and with that, he slowly retreated behind him with Yan Hua, and disappeared into the darkness in a blink of an eye.
