Chapter 162 The Chase And The Trail

While the foreign assassin from the Hell Shadow International Assassin Association was rolling on the road, a pair of cold eyes were looking at him. Those eyes were Bai Chen’s.

He used his stargazing walker skill after the jump, so he and Xu Xin Tong could land on the ground safely. There were no visible wounds present on his body.

There was not even any dust on his clothes.

He was standing on the roadside, not so far from the spot where the accident had occurred. Bai Chen was not alone because he was embracing the small and delicate Xu Xin Tong in his arms. She kept her eyes shut tightly, her face drained of color, sweat dripping down her beautiful forehead. She was still trembling non-stop.

She did not even know that she was safe. since Bai Chen had used stargazing walker skills so fast to get them onto the ground, she had not even realized it.

‘He’s definitely a hired assassin who’s come for Xu Xin Tong!’ Bai Chen thought. His eyes were still fixed on the foreigner who had already stopped rolling.

The foreign assassin wanted to kill Xu Xin Tong, which meant that Bai Chen likely could not hold off from taking care of the other party. At any rate, Xu Xin Tong was the younger sister of Xu Xue Ning and the cute Xu Er Er’s older sister.

If anything were to happen to Xu Xin Tong, they would surely be heartbroken. Bai Chen did not want to see that. Just imagining Xu Er Er sad was depressing enough.

But there were still two other reasons why he wanted to get rid of the hired foreign assassin in front of him.

The first one was that he had saved Xu Xin Tong’s life once before, so it was only normal to do it again.

And the second reason was that the foreign assassin was trying to kill him along with Xu Xin Tong. If they had not jumped out of the car in time, they would be dead by now.

It was impossible for Bai Chen not to be angry. This was why Bai Chen wanted to deal with this foreign assassin!

The foreign man started to get to his feet. He looked at Bai Chen who was holding Xu Xin Tong in his arms, both unharmed.

His grey eyes widened and he screamed, “What?!?”

He screamed in English with utter surprise like he was not able to interpret what he was seeing in front of him.

In fact, he thought that both of them had already died in the car crash. That was why it was only normal for him to be this surprised.

“This is ridiculous. I never thought that I, Peter, would fail. But it’s okay. I won’t let my target and anyone involved getaway!"

He said this in English. His name was likely Peter. Judging from his face, it seemed like he was not yet a middle-aged man; his age was just 26 or 27.

After he finished speaking, Peter’s grey eyes shone with malice. They clearly reflected his desire to kill people!

Suddenly, he started to run towards Bai Chen who was holding Xu Xin Tong in his arms. Her eyes were still tightly closed. He was running so fast anyone could tell that he was well-trained.

While he was running, he took out a knife. It was a sharp army knife, so shiny that it reflected the sunlight from above.

Bai Chen’s facial expression did not change much when he saw it. He quickly turned his back on him and ran fast into the forest.

Yes... behind him was a forest. It was not big, but it was one of the many in Xing Zhou city.

The reason why he chose to run away was not that he wanted to flee, but because he saw a car coming towards them.

People in that car would witness the whole thing.

And if that happened, they would undoubtedly call the police and that was not something Bai Chen wanted. It could bring him problems and trouble.

Bai Chen totally forgot that Xu Xin Tong, whom he was holding, was also a police officer. Even worse, she was a police lieutenant general!

“You can’t run away from me so easily!”

Seeing Bai Chen taking Xu Xin Tong, his target, into the forest, Peter’s lips curved into an evil smile. He then laughed and chased after them.

He swung the army knife in his hand around playfully, making sounds in the wind.

“W... What happened?!?”

Xu Xin Tong suddenly opened her eyes when she felt the movements that were caused by Bai Chen’s running.

Xu Xin Tong’s eyes widened with surprise because Bai Chen’s face was quite close to hers. Her face reddened when she finally realized that Bai Chen was holding her while running.

She had not realized it earlier because when they were jumping out of the car, she thought she would not survive and had left her life up to destiny.

At that time, it seemed like her senses had gone numb. She had not even known that she was in Bai Chen’s embrace.

But then she came back to her senses because Bai Chen took off running. Even though she was embarrassed and surprised, she also felt relieved and relaxed at the same time.

This was because at least she knew that she was still alive. Moreover, she was not wounded from jumping out of that moving car.

She thought that it was all because of Bai Chen that she had not gotten hurt. The proof was that he, too, did not seem to be hurt anywhere.

“Where are you taking me?”

Coldness was back on Xu Xin Tong’s perfect face in the blink of an eye, even though there was some red speckling it. She did not understand why Bai Chen would carry her and run like this.

“Look behind you,” Bai Chen replied and started to run faster. Peter was getting closer and closer to them as they spoke.

“The Hell Shadow assassin!” Xu Xin Tong panicked when she turned to look behind her and saw Peter, who was chasing them.

It might have been because of the near-death situation that had made her forget about the assassin for a while before this.
