The security alarm at North Vietnam Hospital blared simultaneously!
Security guards rushed out of the hospital in an orderly manner, shielding Li Zhiyin and the others behind them. “Please, madam, sir, and young lady, move inside the hospital. Let us protect you!”
They were already accustomed to such incidents—there were always people trying to snatch clients at the hospital entrance.
Jessica breathed a sigh of relief and tugged at Li Zhiyin. “Zhiyin, let’s go quickly. Leave this to the security guards. They’re professionals.”
However, another group of people intercepted their path. “Where do you think you’re going, madam~?”
Jessica’s expression changed slightly as she pulled Li Zhiyin behind her to protect her.
Zhiyin was somewhat surprised.
Yan’s Father and Chi Ye’s father stood at the forefront.
The other fathers all shielded their wives, eyeing this group warily.
The leader of the group let out a sinister laugh. “Well, looks like we’ve hit the jackpot today. Each of you looks sleek and well-fed—clearly the wealthiest kind.”
The man’s face was pockmarked like the surface of the moon, typical of Slums skin. He wore a well-tailored suit, but his trousers were tight-fitting, paired with a pair of classic, timeless bean shoes. His mushroom-cut bangs covered his left eye, and he blew on them as he spoke. “Bosses, times have been tough lately. Give us some money to spend, and we’ll leave right away!”
Upon hearing this, Director Chi glanced worriedly at Li Zhiyin.
With the child here, it was best to avoid any violence.
He cautiously asked, “How much do you want?”
“Not much.” The man raised his phone, pointing it at Director Chi, and grinned. “One billion.”
Director Chi: “?”
The man peeked out from behind his phone and said sarcastically, “I’m recording this, boss. You’d better watch what you say. Don’t ruin your lofty image.”
Jessica laughed in anger. “You scum think you’re worth a billion?!”
The green-haired man’s eyelids twitched as he handed his phone to a subordinate. “What? Does the noble madam think our worthless lives aren’t worth anything?”
He spread his hands. “Then why don’t you name a price? How much do you think we’re worth?”
Li Zhiyin: “Not a single penny.”
The green-haired man’s smile stiffened as he glared at Li Zhiyin. “What the hell did you say?!”
Li Zhiyin walked over to Director Chi, stepping slightly ahead of him, and said calmly, “Director Chi, you all should go inside the hospital and take shelter. I’ll hold them off here.”
Director Chi replied without hesitation, “No, that’s too dangerous. You need to come inside with us!”
“It’s not dangerous.”
Li Zhiyin showed no sign of nervousness. “My family runs a security company. Protecting clients is what I’m supposed to do.”
She spoke unhurriedly, “This is actually a good opportunity to offer everyone a temporary group purchase experience voucher here, allowing you to experience the VIP treatment of being meticulously protected by me. If you’re satisfied with the experience, you can place an order anytime and specify me as your service provider.”
Li Zhiyin looked at Director Chi. “Oh, and by the way, when placing an order, please don’t forget to mention my name. That way, I’ll get a commission. Let me repeat: my name is Li Zhiyin.”
Director Chi: “?”
Jessica: “?”
Mr. Yan: “?”
Li Xiao: “?”
What was she doing?
Promoting her services at a time like this??
Director Chi finally understood. “You’re doing this just to get us to place an order with your family’s company? But what if you die? You can’t risk your life just for money, can you?”Mr. Yan chimed in, “That’s right, there are plenty of opportunities! You can’t be so impulsive, kid!”
Li Zhiyin replied, “There are indeed many opportunities.”
She leaned forward, her burning ambition flashing in her eyes like a spark ready to ignite.
“But the chance to protect so many of you at once comes only once.”
The adults were stunned.
Zhiyin charged toward the green-haired man!
“So I have to seize it!”
The henchmen raised their guns, but the green-haired man leered, “A schoolgirl falling from the sky! No one move, let me catch her!”
He excitedly glanced at Li Zhiyin’s short skirt.
The skirt lifted slightly, revealing black shorts underneath.
The green-haired man: “?”
Li Zhiyin swung her blade toward his head!
The green-haired man quickly leaped back two steps!
In that split second, she changed the direction of her blade and sliced through the man’s iron arm!
The mechanical arm was severed instantly!
The green-haired man screamed, “Ah! My newly installed cybernetic body!!!”
Director Chi was shocked!
Mr. Yan stared in disbelief.
Jessica covered her mouth, goosebumps rising all over her body. “OMG!”
That was way too fast!!
Zhiyin pressed her advantage, thrusting toward the green-haired man!
A henchman suddenly yanked the green-haired man away!
Li Zhiyin missed her strike but showed no anger, moving like a robot without even a change in expression, relentlessly pursuing them!
The henchmen fired at her!
Director Chi’s face paled. “Find cover, Li Zhiyin!”
But Li Zhiyin raised her Tang sword, deflecting every bullet, and quickened her pace to catch up with the henchmen!
Director Chi: “?”
Mr. Yan: “?”
Jessica’s jaw nearly hit the floor. “She—she can block bullets?!”
The other mothers nodded in awe, stammering, “Y-yes, it seems so.”
Li Zhiyin aimed at the henchman, raised her blade, and brought it down. Blood and the blue blood supplied by the cybernetic body splattered simultaneously!
The green-haired man was splattered with blood from his own man, his legs going weak in terror as he stared at Li Zhiyin.
How the hell can she even block bullets?!
A frantic voice came through the green-haired man’s Bluetooth earpiece: “Tiger! Stay away from that girl! You’re no match for her!”
Tiger froze, his voice trembling. “Why?”
The bald man’s gaze pierced through the security guards they were fighting, unable to see Tiger clearly but spotting Li Zhiyin chasing him.
He panicked. “She’s that lunatic from the Underground City who’s never lost a fight in underground boxing!”
The green-haired man’s pupils contracted sharply as he looked at Li Zhiyin closing in on him!
This was the female warrior who had never fallen since stepping onto the underground boxing ring?!
A figure ranked in the Underground City?!
His most admired idol?!
Yan Juexia sat in the hover car, staring blankly out the window.
One of the youths wondered, “Did all our parents go to watch Li Zhiyin’s cybernetic body modification today? They’re way too curious about her!”
Another youth nodded. “Yeah, I’ve never seen my parents act like this before.”
“It’s not curiosity, it’s an assessment,” another youth said with a smile. “After all, she’ll become one of us in the future, and her abilities clearly surpass ours. They need to see what she’ll become and build good relations, right?”
The youth smiled and looked at Yan Juexia. “Aren’t you curious about Li Zhiyin, Yan Juexia?”
Chi Ye paused while scrolling through his phone and glanced casually at Yan Juexia.Yan Juexia leaned against the window, preoccupied with heavy thoughts. “What is there to be curious about? That person is just an ordinary individual. From now on, don’t bring her up around me—I have no interest in her affairs.”
Li Xinghao and Li Yanlang exchanged a glance, neither of them calling him out on it.
Inside the hover car, a gentle mechanical voice announced—
“Attack detected nearby. Altering route.”
“Location of attack: North Yue Hospital.”
Everyone’s expressions changed drastically.
North Yue Hospital?!
Wasn’t that where their parents had gone?!
Chi Ye commanded, “Land at North Yue Hospital!”
The mechanical female voice warned, “Alert: An attack is occurring at the entrance of North Yue Hospital. Searching for authorized surveillance cameras at the entrance of North Yuan Hospital. Please proceed with caution.”
The device displayed the surveillance footage from the entrance of North Yue Hospital.
Security personnel at North Yue Hospital were locked in a desperate struggle with the assailants, who were gaining the upper hand, using numerous underhanded tactics to attack. Many security guards had already fallen.
The mechanical female voice issued another warning: “Attack in progress at the entrance of North Yue Hospital. Police are en route. Estimated time of arrival: three minutes.”
“Confirm once again: Are you certain you wish to proceed?”
Chi Ye lost his patience. “I told you to—”
“Chi Ye!” Li Xinghao suddenly shouted, “Look—who is that in the footage?!”
