Chapter Forty-Eight: Hand-to-Chief

While Gianna was talking to the gentleman from Africa about land interests, Lin Cheng was also thinking about how to do it for a while.

If you continue according to the original plot, after Gianna has finished her meeting with the African gentleman, she will go to the luxurious bathroom alone, take a shower, touch up her makeup, and then run into John Walker, who is lying in ambush on the side of the bath.

In the end, he was forced to commit suicide by cutting his wrists in front of John Walker.

Lin Cheng didn't know exactly when John Walker was lurking in the bathroom, because Gianna chose to take a shower in the luxurious bathroom next door, and the act of touching up her makeup seemed to be sudden and not in the scheduled itinerary.

So, it is likely that John Walker heard Gianna's words, and then went to the bathroom first.

If this is the case, then it is estimated that even if Lin Cheng rushes to the bathroom at this time, it will be empty.

Sitting on the metal chair next to the wine table, Lin Cheng looked at the crystal goblet in front of him, staring at the ruby-like liquor in the wine glass, his eyes were a little deep, and he was playing with his toy building block pistol in his hand.

Only he knew that this strife was about to begin.

Moments later, Gianna and Oakley broke up unhappily on the issue of land interests.

Oakley was invited out, and for a while only Gianna was left in the room, Lin Cheng and Cassian, Gianna leaned on the back of the soft sofa, her eyes wandered on Lin Cheng for a moment, and finally fell on Cassian.

"It just so happens that there's a bathroom next to it, and I'd like to go take a shower and touch up my makeup by the way—Cassian, could you please help me inform the guests in the conference room and ask them to wait a little longer for me, and I'll be back soon."

The sunken cellar is located in the middle of an old complex of buildings, and the entrance is located in a narrow alleyway, on the other side of which leads to a renovated underground bath and an underground bedroom, both beautifully decorated, which are full of the wealth and status of the Antonio family.

If it weren't for the Antonio family, no one would have turned the old building into a luxury hotel.

"Ma'am, this is not the ...... we planned"

Cassian was a little anxious because he was aware of the danger he might encounter tonight.

"Don't worry, Cassian, it'll be fine."

Lin Cheng stood up, his gaze looked directly into Cassian's eyes, and in a very calm voice, he slowly spoke.

If it weren't for Lin Cheng to speak, Cassian would definitely not be relieved to let Gianna stay here.

However, Cassian had already seen Lin Cheng's ability, and if Lin Cheng said that it would be fine, then Lin Cheng would definitely not let Gianna have an accident, so he could only nod and leave the cellar to inform the guests.

There are still two people left in the wine cellar, Gianna and Lin Cheng.

Gianna opened her mouth, but before she could speak, Lin Cheng had already put a finger to her lips and made a gesture to ask Gianna not to speak, and then stretched out her other hand in the direction of the door, which naturally meant "please".

Lin Cheng didn't know if John Walker was watching here, or if he had installed a bug here, so he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only tell Gianna in a hint way that it was better not to speak.

Gianna seemed to read his hint, and there was a hint of hesitation in her eyes, but after a moment, she left the cellar of her own accord.

In the Roman-style square marble bath, the moonlight shines through the ceiling and the two large glass doors spill into the water of the square bath, and the lit candles illuminate the entire clean room located in the basement.

With two large floor-to-ceiling mirrors on either side of the room, a scent of roses on the dresser, and pushing open the two heavy oak doors, Gianna walked firmly into the basement bathroom at the end of the hallway.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, she slowly untied her long flaxen hair coiled behind her head, exhaled, and removed her silver earrings.

Immediately after, she saw behind her, on the other side of the bath, a figure in a black suit appeared there, looking at her coldly, and she couldn't help but tremble.

Because she knew that person, that person was her old friend, but she didn't expect that the person who appeared here would be him.

"We were friends a long time ago, are you here to kill me, John?"

"We're still friends, Gianna."

She turned slowly, her gaze falling on the man's face.

As before, his hair was carefully groomed with wax, his cheeks were neatly groomed, and he was wearing his black suit, which had not changed for thousands of years, and he had a gun in his hand, as if he had come to a date, as if he had come to fulfill an appointment.

"Tell me, John, what made you come back to the world, and what made you have to kill me?"

"I'm sorry, Gianna, but it's a blood pact I can't refuse, from your brother."

John Walker couldn't see a trace of expression on his face, but his eyes were more or less sad, but when he mentioned the blood contract, Gianna had already realized that the man in front of him had to kill him, and there was no room for negotiation.

Just because it's a blood contract, a contract made of blood.

Just as John Walker was about to raise the Glock-19 in his hand and put it on Gianna's forehead, there was a sudden sound of glass breaking in the air, Lin Cheng naturally wouldn't let his idol kill his employer, even if it was his blood contract.

He had been lurking behind the glass for a long time, and when John Walker raised the pistol in his hand, he directly kicked and shattered the huge glass on the ceiling, jumped from the air, and the building block pistol in his hand was already aimed at John Walker's head, and then pulled the trigger.

John Walker didn't expect Lin Cheng's surprise attack, but when he saw Lin Cheng holding a gun in his hand, his body reacted immediately, rolling on the spot and rolling to the side of the marble bath.

He used the steps of the bath as cover, and then pointed the pistol in his hand in the direction of Lin Cheng, and the muzzle of Glock-19 spat out a high-speed spinning nine-millimeter bullet, and the muzzle of the Lego brick Desert Eagle also spat out a high-speed rotating yellow brick.

The blocks collided with the bullets, but in the end, no one had anything to do with it, and they both fell into the pool.

As a top killer, John Walker's dynamic vision is extremely powerful.

When he realized that it was a building block that blocked his bullet, even this killer who had been in the killer world for decades couldn't help but be stunned, but he quickly reacted and continued to shoot at Lin Cheng.

Lin Cheng was naturally not afraid of nine-millimeter bullets, but he didn't plan to use his suit to pick them up.

He didn't stop, he pounced directly in Gianna's direction, wrapped his arm around Gianna's shoulder, and while escorting her towards the gate, he used the block to block every bullet that flew towards him.
