Chapter 533: 533: Things Have Gone Too Far

“What’s wrong?” Seeing Luo Ziling stop in his tracks, Yang Qingyin asked with a hint of surprise, “Why did you stop moving?”

“It seems we’re in trouble again!” Luo Ziling whispered to Yang Qingyin, turning his head slightly, “Quickly call Xiaoli, and have her take you away from here.”

As he was speaking, Luo Ziling, with Yang Qingyin in tow, hid behind a nearby stele.

Yang Qingyin was slightly panicked, but she quickly composed herself.

Without any hesitation, she immediately called Ye Xiaoli.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ye Xiaoli had been nearby all along, and in less than a minute after hearing Yang Qingyin’s call for help, she appeared nearby.

“You take Qingyin and go first,” Luo Ziling commanded Ye Xiaoli, his voice steady and calm.

He wasn’t afraid; when he left the house today, he had taken the gun Li Haiyang had given him, and he was also wearing a bulletproof vest. But his wearing the bulletproof vest wasn’t due to fear of death; it felt wrong not to make use of the item Lin Lan had sent as he appreciated her sentiment.

The lightweight bulletproof vest didn’t feel bulky and even provided warmth.

Bringing the gun had been with a similar thought, feeling it a waste not to use it when Li Haiyang had given it to him.

It’s true, sometimes Ziling could be quite ostentatious and liked to show off.

Ye Xiaoli, who also sensed the danger, did not hesitate to take Yang Qingyin and retreat after receiving the orders from Luo Ziling.

She had spotted several silhouettes in the darkness slowly approaching their hiding spot. It was needless to say that these figures definitely meant them harm. For Ye Xiaoli, her sole duty was to ensure Yang Qingyin’s safety, which was even more important than her own life, let alone compared with Luo Ziling’s safety.

Therefore, her strategy was simply to protect Yang Qingyin as they retreated, preparing to move to a safe area before taking Yang Qingyin away.

Yang Qingyin was, of course, worried about Luo Ziling’s safety and was reluctant to leave with Ye Xiaoli, but Luo Ziling immediately ordered, “Hurry and leave, I’m not afraid of them. If you don’t go, the trouble will only get worse.”

“Alright,” Yang Qingyin hesitated, but ultimately she agreed.

However, she did not leave immediately; she felt staying by Luo Ziling’s side could be helpful.

Eventually, with the persistent persuasion and protection from Ye Xiaoli, Yang Qingyin retreated to the entrance of Qinghua Garden.

Ye Xiaoli’s car was parked there; she prepared to first take Yang Qingyin away.

“Miss, Mr. Luo will be fine; he is so skilled,” Ye Xiaoli reassured Yang Qingyin after she got into the car, explaining a few points, “Staying by his side, we would only be a burden.”

Hearing Ye Xiaoli’s reasonable words, Yang Qingyin did not insist and cooperated by getting into the car.

Without any hesitation, Ye Xiaoli started the car and drove into Qinghua Garden.

Those seeking to harm Luo Ziling would probably not dare to rush into the campus to do anything. Ye Xiaoli roughly guessed the identities of the people who had attempted to intercept Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin on the road, hence making such a judgment.

Meanwhile, Luo Ziling, hidden behind the stele, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Yang Qingyin and Ye Xiaoli leave safely.

He noticed that those lurking in the dark, intending to harm him, did not rashly charge forward but were slowly closing in.

“Could they have discovered the weapon in my hands?” Luo Ziling was taken aback.

There happened to be several holes in the middle of the stele; Luo Ziling crouched down and peered through the holes to observe the situation.

“These people are being so cautious, it seems they don’t dare to escalate the situation,” Luo Ziling deduced after a few seconds, “Since they don’t dare make a big scene, then I will be the one to stir things up first.”

As he spoke, Luo Ziling pulled out the gun given to him by Li Haiyang from his pocket, switched off the safety, and aimed through the holes in the stele at a shadowy figure inching towards his hiding spot. After hesitating for at least five seconds, he gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger.

With a “bang,” the person Luo Ziling had targeted fell to the ground with a thud.

The other shadows, startled by the noise and seeing their companion struck down, were all dumbfounded.

They couldn’t believe that their target not only possessed a weapon but also took the initiative to shoot; everyone was paralyzed with fear.

After firing once, Luo Ziling didn’t dare to shoot a second time; the sound had scared even him.

Noticing a stone at his feet, Luo Ziling had a stroke of inspiration and grabbed it, leaning out to hurl it at another shadowy figure. Back in the small Northwestern village, Luo Ziling had often practiced throwing stones with great precision, honed through many years of “training.”

Amidst another scream, the man in black who had been hit in the leg by the stone Luo Ziling threw struggled for a moment before toppling over.

Having succeeded in his two attacks, Luo Ziling didn’t waste the perfect opportunity to take the initiative.

He leaped out from behind the stele and delivered a direct kick at the man he had just hit with the stone.

The man was just getting up from the ground when, completely unprepared, he saw someone charging at him. Instinctively trying to dodge but failing to move in time, he was kicked by Luo Ziling and sent flying several meters away. The kick landed right in the lower chest area, breaking a few ribs, leaving him in pain and unable to get up.

Luo Ziling didn’t stop there, rushing forward with a spinning kick aimed at another man in black.

The man braced for defense and quickly dodged, but he didn’t anticipate Luo Ziling’s rapid second and third kicks following suit.

After being hit by two kicks, the man tumbled into a roadside iron tree.

The sharp leaves of the iron tree caused the already injured man, who was continuously screaming in pain, to shriek even louder.

Luo Ziling, uncertain of how many people were after him, didn’t dare to be careless; when he saw the man previously shot trying to get up, he delivered a diagonal chopping kick. The unlucky fellow immediately collapsed limply to the ground, passing out.

It was then that Luo Ziling noticed two more men in black preparing to attack him together, but without any hesitation, he chose to strike first.

The remaining three men in black, although not unskilled, were no match for Luo Ziling, who was in a state of fury, and they were also wary of the gun in his hand. Therefore, in less than five moves, they were all beaten down by Luo Ziling.

While Luo Ziling was fighting with the men in black, about three hundred meters away in an unmarked car, a man holding a night-vision telescope had roughly made out what was happening.

When Luo Ziling knocked down the last man in black, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

“Young Master, that kid is formidable—all five men were taken down by him. And he has a gun; he even took the initiative to fire!”

“He has a gun?” The person on the other end of the call sounded surprised, but then laughed, “It’s good that he dared to shoot.”

After saying that, he hung up the phone.
