An ear-piercing braking sound rang out. Ling Han opened her eyes and looked out of the car window indifferently at the people who had alighted from the van.

“Hah, he really acted so quickly.”

“Miss, don’t be afraid. I’ll protect you.” Pei Jing frowned and his expression was tense.

He had just reached for his phone and was about to contact his subordinates when Ling Han opened the car door.

“Wait for me here obediently.”

After saying that, she quickly got out of the car and walked toward those people. How could Pei Jing be at ease? He immediately followed her.

When the assassin sent by Ling Jian saw that Ling Han dared to get out of the car alone, he stopped where he was with an interest he rarely had.

“What? Are you prepared to surrender obediently? Looking at your pretty face, why don’t you take turns serving us tonight? If you’ve served us well, we might even spare your life.”

Pei Jing had just arrived beside Ling Han when he heard this. He frowned and was about to step forward when he was stopped by Ling Han.

“I’m afraid you don’t have this kind of luck with women.”

“Young lady, you sure talk big. Attack!” The moment the leader’s voice faded, the three to five strong assassins behind him immediately stepped forward.

Ling Han bent down and dodged the punch from the man in front of her. She then raised her leg and kicked his crotch.

He let out a blood-curdling scream. He bent down and covered his crotch, rolling on the ground in pain.

The people beside him swarmed over when they saw this. Right at this moment, Ling Han raised her right hand, and a light pink powder sprayed out from her sleeve. The powder instantly surrounded the people around her.

This was a knockout incense.

The person in front of Ling Han inhaled the powder with his nose, and his vision immediately became dizzy. He swayed and fell straight to the ground.

The corners of Ling Han’s lips curled up as she watched the assassin fall in front of her eyes with satisfaction. She raised her hand and swiftly swung her knife. In just a few seconds, the remaining two also fell to the ground.

Behind her, Pei Jing’s body swayed and he also fell to the ground. However, unlike those assassins, Pei Jing did not close his eyes immediately. He was still half-conscious, and in his blurry vision, he actually saw that Ling Han knew kung fu.

Before he closed his eyes, the last thought in his mind was that he did not know what had happened to Ling Han in the last few years. What forced her to learn kung fu to protect herself?

Ling Han had no idea that the effect of her knockout incense on Pei Jing would be reduced by half.

She squatted down and took out a handkerchief from her pocket to cover the killer’s mouth and nose. Soon, the killer opened his eyes and woke up.

Ling Han snapped her fingers, and the tips of her fingers flew in front of the assassin’s eyes. Before the assassin could completely regain his consciousness, he became dazed.

“Call Ling Jian. Tell him that I’ve been captured by you guys, but you are unable to kill me.”

The assassin was hypnotized by Ling Han. He obediently took out his phone to call Ling Jian.

At this moment, Ling Jian was waiting for their good news at the cocktail party. After hearing the assassin’s words, Ling Jian immediately went out the back door and drove over.

This road was a dead-end road. From afar, Ling Han saw the high beam headlights of the two cars approaching. She coldly patted the assassin’s face.

“Later, Ling Han will get out of that car. Remember what I said. If you kill him, I will give you a large sum of money.”

“If I kill Ling Han, you will give me a large sum of money,” the assassin nodded with a dull expression.

Then, the assassin got up and walked toward the cars.
