Chapter 1420: Chapter 1421 Encountered Assault (3)
As soon as he saw the pill, Xing Bin’s eyes lit up. He took the pill as if he were indulging in marijuana, enjoying it immensely as he swallowed it.
“Uh…” Chiang Yu stared dumbfounded at Xing Bin, who looked like an addict and glanced confusedly at An Yiqing. “Xiao Qing, what did you give him…”
“Don’t worry, Uncle Chiang, it’s just a regular pill for replenishing spiritual power,” An Yiqing explained.
“That’s right, Mr. Chiang, no need to worry. Miss is Elder Ye’s disciple; she has plenty of treasures in her hands, there’s no way she’d harm us! You’ll understand after spending more time with Miss, she’s like a treasure pouch full of delicious and useful pills. See my strength? Initial Stage of Transformation! It’s all thanks to the pills Miss gave me!” Xing Bin exaggeratedly flexed his solid arm, speaking enthusiastically.
Although Chiang Yu wasn’t an Ancient Martial Artist, he understood the things involved. When he heard that An Yiqing had turned Xing Bin from an ordinary person into an Initial Stage Transformation ancient martial artist in just half a year, even with his normally calm demeanor, he was shocked.
“Xiao Qing, your medical skills are really miraculous…” Chiang Yu took in a deep breath, genuinely understanding An Yiqing’s strength for the first time.
An Yiqing showed no hint of pride on her face, just a slight smile as she shook her head, “Still far from it, my master’s medical skills are truly transcendent.”
“Miss, why so modest? Even Elder Ye said you’re surpassing the master! In all of Xuandu City, even the whole Xuanjin, I doubt anyone’s medical skills are more formidable than yours!” Xing Bin lavishly praised her, after all, that’s what he genuinely believed, and every word he spoke was true!
An Yiqing was amused and exasperated by Xing Bin’s praise, casting him a glare before turning her attention to Chiang Yu.
“Uncle Chiang, don’t listen to Binzi’s nonsense. He just has a child’s temperament; you’ll get used to it over time. Brother Yusheng, Binzi, and Jinglin are all very nice; you’ll definitely get along well with them. And yesterday you met Ah Feng, he’s my personal bodyguard, highly skilled. When there’s a chance, I’ll take you to Xuandu City to get to know them better. But for today, that’s it. Binzi, get yourself sorted and rest up! I’ll have Brother Yusheng check on you; if you don’t sleep, you’ll be banned from the lab!”
At the mention of being banned from the lab, Xing Bin quickly nodded in agreement, repeatedly promising to rest well, to sleep until he couldn’t sleep anymore.
With that assurance, An Yiqing left with Chiang Yu. Today, Zhang Yufeng and An Zhifeng didn’t come along. An Yiqing drove, with Chiang Yu in the front passenger seat. Neither of them were chatty people, so the car was quiet.
Leaving the underground parking lot of Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals, An Yiqing and Chiang Yu discussed and decided to check out some land on the outskirts of Jinyin City.
The car gradually left the city center, and the surroundings grew less populated. It was already past seven in the evening, and the night was deepening.
“Uncle Chiang, what do you think of the real estate industry in Xuanjin?” In the car, An Yiqing suddenly asked.
“Real estate is a highly profitable industry, but also the most unstable. Why? Xiao Qing, are you thinking of entering the real estate market?” Chiang Yu turned to look at An Yiqing and asked.
An Yiqing nodded, then shook her head, “Yes, and no. I want to—”
“Bang—!”
A deafening gunshot abruptly interrupted what An Yiqing was about to say. Both she and Chiang Yu felt the car jolt violently, the right rear tire seemingly flattening rapidly!
“What’s going on? An assault?” Chiang Yu was shocked and angry, never expecting that someone would dare to shoot at them within the fourth ring of Jinyin City!
An Yiqing didn’t speak, her eyes dark and cold. She gripped the steering wheel tightly, her sharp eyes sweeping quickly outside, finally fixing her gaze on an abandoned building in the distance.
This area was beyond the third ring but within the fourth ring of Jinyin City, mostly industrial and leisure zones, relatively deserted compared to the inner second ring, making it a perfect place for an ambush!
Just a moment ago, An Yiqing noticed a flash of light on the top floor of that building! If she wasn’t mistaken, it must have been the reflection from a sniper rifle scope!
“Uncle Chiang, buckle up and hold on tight!”
With a commanding shout, An Yiqing didn’t wait for Chiang Yu to respond. The car shot forward like an arrow loosed from a bow!
