Chapter 341: Expert Appearance

"Wanna know?"

Bai Huanjun nodded solemnly with clasped hands, "Please enlighten me!"

Ling Chen swayed with pride and snorted twice. You think I have to tell you just because you want to know? Even Bai Huanjun, so full of openings in front of this young master, aren’t you ashamed?

"I just won’t tell you! Die of anger!"

Although Bai Huanjun is not on the assassin list, he surpasses those who are.

Within the industry, there aren’t many who excel at Disguise Skills, and those like Thousand-faced Fox who have long been famous and have the ability to be on the list are even fewer.

Although Bai Huanjun is not on the list, it’s mostly due to his disdain. He and Thousand-faced Fox once crossed paths, competing in their skills. It’s not for outsiders to comment on who was superior, but ever since then, wherever one appeared, the other would make a detour. This at least suggests their skills must be closely matched.

However, their biggest difference lies in temperament. Thousand-faced Fox is very pragmatic, especially adept at assessing the situation, and if something seems off, he prioritizes his own safety first, never stubbornly fixated on one point, and certainly doesn’t insist on achieving a result by any means necessary.

This was also why Thousand-faced Fox immediately retreated last time, claiming he wouldn’t interfere. His reason was that seven million wasn’t worth it, which was partly true, but behind those words, wasn’t it also reflecting that he indeed didn’t have the confidence to take down Ling Chen? The seven million wasn’t worth the risk for him.

Bai Huanjun, on the other hand, tends to be stubborn. Once he sets his sights on a target, he doesn’t rest until he achieves his goal. Last time, he lost the lives of two assistants, and yet, here he is again in just a few days.

"This time, I didn’t wear a human skin mask, so there shouldn’t be any flaws in my facial expressions. How did you see through me?"

Compared to killing Ling Chen, Bai Huanjun was more curious about why he was exposed again this time.

Ling Chen sighed and said, "Are you really that dumb or just pretending? The fact that someone with your intellect is still alive, I must say, is truly a miracle."

Bai Huanjun frowned without a word, then after a long pause still clasped his fists solemnly, "Please enlighten me!"

"Enlighten what?" Ling Chen said impatiently, "As a man disguised as a nurse, at least you should understand what the most obvious difference between men and women in appearance is, right? Yet you recklessly tossed your head, acting coy, and your Adam’s apple popped out!"

Bai Huanjun was stunned. Such a simple thing, such a foolish mistake!

"You escaped last time and had the guts to come back; looks like you’re really in need of money."

Bai Huanjun nodded, "I know it’s not easy to kill you, and I was planning to leave, but you’ve become too popular lately and your price has gone up, I had to give myself another chance."

"I’m afraid this is your last chance," Ling Chen said coldly. "What I hate most in this world is someone like you, an omnipresent annoyance like a fly. Since you’ve come today, don’t even think about leaving!"

Bai Huanjun smiled charmingly, and even though Ling Chen now knew that the lovely little nurse before him was a man in disguise, he couldn’t help his heart skipping a beat.

Damn it, how can a grown man smile so seductively? This really makes life unbearable!

"Die!" Ling Chen’s eyes narrowed as he kicked a nearby trash can towards Bai Huanjun’s face, his figure immediately pouncing forward.

Bai Huanjun deftly spun to the side, his hand suddenly filled with several scalpels, flicking them towards the onrushing Ling Chen.

The whistling of the blades was incessant, Ling Chen twisted his body in mid-air, narrowly dodging, and landed with an unadorned kick straight to the chest!

At the same time, Jiang Yunkai launched another attack, still with his firm and domineering punches, faintly accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder, throwing fourteen or fifteen punches in the blink of an eye, completely sealing off Bai Huanjun’s path of retreat.

To the left was a wall, to the right a window, in front was Ling Chen delivering a fierce kick, and behind was Jiang Yunkai blocking with punches; Zhao Zhengxiong had already called over a dozen people to encircle the area.

Bai Huanjun was trapped, with escape seeming as impossible as ascending to the heavens, let alone causing harm to anyone.

Just as Bai Huanjun seemed on the brink of falling beneath Ling Chen’s foot, a patient leaning on a cane sitting by the stairwell suddenly leaped up, showing no signs of mobility issues.

The cane in his hand was as swift as lightning, aiming straight for Jiang Yunkai’s back; the tip of the cane glittered coldly, apparently concealing a blade!

"Watch your back!" Ling Chen’s kick almost reached Bai Huanjun’s chest when he noticed the sneak attack, promptly issuing a warning. However, unexpectedly, the man in front abruptly twisted his body and without hesitation crashed through the window!

This was the twelfth floor; if Bai Huanjun wasn’t courting death, then he must have made some preparations in advance.

Unable to concern himself with the suddenly emerging assassin, believing in Jiang Yunkai’s skill, even if he couldn’t subdue the attacker, self-protection should be no problem—at the very least, there would be no life-threatening danger.

Ling Chen had no time to think further, striding to the window just in time to see Bai Huanjun stop at the seventh or eighth floor, appearing to step on something, his body oscillating slightly up and down.

With Ling Chen’s keen eyesight, he meticulously observed and finally discerned a steel wire stretched between the floors, difficult to spot against the night sky.

Bai Huanjun’s choice for landing was extremely precise, touching the wire with his toes to counteract the force of the descent. With such a setup, there were probably one or two more wires below, and jumping from the twelfth floor wasn’t an insurmountable task.

Ling Chen was furious, treating him as if he was just a dish to be sampled at will, taking bites when he pleased and running away when he failed. Was he content just getting a whiff?

Ling Chen hastily pulled a scalpel that Bai Huanjun had previously thrown into the wall, flicking it back at him. However, given the distance, Bai Huanjun easily dodged and continued to descend a few more floors, indeed landing on another steel wire.

This guy was really like a rabbit; not even trying for a second strike if the first one missed, but rather, he escaped quite nimbly. Who knew when and in what bizarre guise he would appear next?

Watching as Bai Huanjun reached the ground and arrogantly gestured a sign of victory towards Ling Chen, Ling Chen felt annoyed, but then a sudden change occurred below!

A dark shadow dashed forward, void of any fancy or complex moves, speed like lightning, reaching the still-smug Bai Huanjun. Grabbing the unsuspecting Bai Huanjun, he swung him heavily against the wall.

Before he could fall from the wall, the shadow soared up and delivered a flying kick straight to Bai Huanjun’s temple. Bai Huanjun didn’t even make a sound before sliding down the wall to the ground, silence ensuing.

The entire process took just a few seconds. Ling Chen watched from above, dumbstruck, his heart chilled. Bai Huanjun’s combat power was average, but his agility was extremely slippery and cunning, having escaped him twice. Who would have thought the shadow below would deal with him as if he were as insignificant as a kitten or puppy, slamming and kicking to settle the matter?
