“Puh!”
The tip of the umbrella pierced the wrist of a clown-masked assassin. Pei Jinye’s wrist suddenly twisted, and a jet of blood spurted out, causing the assailant to scream and retreat.
With his other hand, Pei Jinye swiftly grabbed Sun Ruofan’s outstretched arm, pulling her behind him.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine…” Sun Ruofan’s hair was disheveled, hanging down, her face now panic-stricken.
“Let’s go!” The clown-masked killer, hearing the sound of the alarm, hastily gave up the assassination attempt and turned to flee.
But the very next second.
They were suddenly sent flying out, slamming heavily onto the ground, their fate unknown.
A young man in a black trench coat appeared, looking interestedly at the two killers on the ground.
“What a filthy soul aura…”
He looked up.
His gaze fell on Pei Jinye, who was next to Sun Ruofan, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Pei Jinye was holding a black umbrella, his eyes vigilant.
For some reason, he really disliked the look in this guy’s eyes.
It was a mocking gaze, one that was invasive and superior.
However, Pei Jinye showed no different response.
“You’re interesting.”
As the trench-coated man passed by Pei Jinye, he suddenly stopped and made a meaningful remark.
Pei Jinye’s heart was on alert.
The Psychic·Locking Technique quietly intensified, sealing his Spiritual World.
Luckily, the man in the trench coat did not stay long and walked over to the gunman Pei Jinye had struck down earlier.
The monorail train remained stationary.
Three hover patrol cars sped to the site, and the nearby Night Patrol team quickly arrived.
The only ones left in the car were Pei Jinye, Sun Ruofan, and the mysterious man in a trench coat, who was crouching down to check on the gunman’s injuries.
“Two minutes and seventeen seconds, that’s the response time of the Night Patrol Department,” the trench-coated man commented indifferently, then stood up and revealed his identity.
“Judgement Place, Xu Tian.”
One of the Night patrollers scanned him and immediately became very respectful.
“Sir.”
Xu Tian said nonchalantly, “These three aren’t Transcendents, just ordinary killers… Decide for yourselves how to deal with them. As for…”
His eyes turned to Pei Jinye.
In his perception, Pei Jinye’s soul aura seemed to be shrouded in a fog, indicative of practicing some type of spiritual defense technique.
When had a little prodigy like this appeared in Da Peng City?
The corners of his mouth curved slightly.
“These two are the victims.”
Night patrollers approached Pei Jinye and Sun Ruofan, scanning them with an arm device, and their citizen information and identities were promptly revealed.
“Please come with us for a statement…”
“May I make a phone call?” Sun Ruofan indicated.
The Night patroller who had spoken did not stop her.
Sun Ruofan turned and made a phone call.
“Someone tried to kill me… I’m at…”
She looked up at the train’s destination display before adding, “I’m at Southern Bridge Station, about to go to the nearby Night Patrol Department for a statement… It was a classmate who saved me… Yes.”
After the call ended.
Sun Ruofan looked at Pei Jinye, seemingly having just gone through a harrowing assassination attempt, and appeared to trust Pei Jinye even more.
Night Patrol Department branch office.
“Welcome.”
At the entrance, an intelligent robot paused to greet them before starting its journey towards the distance.
The personnel of the Night Patrol Department were used to this and showed no surprise.
However, it was Pei Jinye’s first time visiting the Night Patrol Department.
Soon, the two were ushered into a room off to the side.
A middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes spoke with an imposing presence, “Regarding the incident on the light rail, could you both provide a detailed account?”
Sun Ruofan took the initiative to describe what happened.
After listening for a while, the middle-aged man looked at Pei Jinye, surprised, “You’re an Awakener?”
Pei Jinye nodded, “Yes.”
The middle-aged man’s attitude softened considerably, and he asked with a smile as if making small talk, “Taking down a Weapon Holder all by yourself, you’re quite remarkable.”
That comment sounded a bit odd.
“We trained together under Teacher Chang,” Sun Ruofan interjected on behalf of Pei Jinye.
“Teacher Chang?” The middle-aged man blinked, then carefully asked, “From the Bronze Association?”
Sun Ruofan nodded.
The middle-aged man became even more courteous, “So you are disciples of Elder Chang, my apologies. I already understand the specifics of the incident here.
Ms. Sun, you still need to be careful from now on. The other party comes from an assassin organization known as the ‘Mask Association.’ If it weren’t for your classmate here, you would have been in grave danger…
This Mask Association consists of utterly ruthless individuals; otherwise, they wouldn’t have had the audacity to make a move on the light rail.”
Sun Ruofan’s face turned pale.
Pei Jinye could tell that this middle-aged man was being very polite to Sun Ruofan, probably because he knew the girl’s background.
It wasn’t long.
Footsteps echoed through the hallway.
A group of people appeared.
The door to the room opened.
The middle-aged man who had been advising Sun Ruofan suddenly stood up and quickly said with politeness, “Boss Qi.”
The newcomer paid no attention to him and hurried over to Sun Ruofan, asking with concern, “Ruofan, are you alright?”
Sun Ruofan sweetly called out “Daddy” and then pulled him over to Pei Jinye, “Dad, Pei Jinye saved me. Those people were terrifying…”
The man looked at Pei Jinye, carrying an aura of authority innate to someone accustomed to a superior position, showed gratitude as he spoke, “Young man, thank you.”
He extended his hand.
A man dressed like a butler in a suit hurriedly handed over a bank card.
Qi Hengtian handed over the bank card, “Please accept this token of my appreciation.”
Pei Jinye shook his head, politely refusing, “Uncle Qi, you’re too kind. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now.”
He looked at the middle-aged man from the Night Patrol Department.
The middle-aged man was taken aback.
Seeing that Pei Jinye had declined Qi Hengtian’s offer, he couldn’t help but think more highly of him.
“The statement has been completed. Would you like a car to take you?”
“That’s not necessary.”
Pei Jinye nodded at Sun Ruofan as a sign and then left the room.
Qi Hengtian’s expression was unreadable. He looked at Sun Ruofan and then said with a smile, “Ruofan, your classmate is quite impressive.”
“Yes, he trains very hard and Teacher Chang has even praised him,” Sun Ruofan said, seemingly innocently.
“Is that so.” Qi Hengtian chuckled softly, raising his hand so that the butler took back the bank card with both hands.
“Go see him off,” Qi Hengtian ordered.
“Yes, Chairman,” the butler said and quickly departed.
