Chapter 572: Chapter 385: Do You Want to Go and Get Yourself Killed? (Second Release) _2

The aura surrounding these two individuals was overwhelmingly strong.

With a cold demeanor and a vanished hint of a smile, Mu Lin turned around and said, "Why are you following me?" She looked stolidly at the man behind her who had made an abrupt stop. Her red lips lightly pursed, her aura chilling.

This man had been following her for a while now.

"You haven’t told me your name yet." His gaze was intense, firmly fixed on Mu Lin. No emotion could be discerned from his profound eyes, but his face bore an unusual persistence.

Looking at him, Mu Lin replied calmly, void of any emotion in her eyes, "We don’t know each other." Hence, there was no need for further involvement.

"We don’t know each other, that’s why I want to know your name." If they were acquainted, he wouldn’t need to follow her taxi all the way here just for a name. This was a first for him, dedicating so much effort to a woman who looked down on him.

Indeed, she did look down on him.

"I’m sorry, but I don’t think there’s any need for me to know a stalker." With a cold voice devoid of warmth, Mu Lin wanted nothing to do with the man standing in front of her. "Stop following me, or I’ll make sure you’re carried out horizontally." After saying this, she wasted no time in turning around and walking away.

She was truly on the edge of losing patience.

Regrettably, he was adamant about establishing a connection with her and wouldn’t back down.

When Mu Lin turned away, showing no interest in him, he still followed her without any shred of self-awareness, completely ignoring her warnings. Or perhaps, he simply didn’t care.

Carried out, horizontally.

Indeed, Mi Zheng was rather curious about how Mu Lin planned to carry out her threat. In broad daylight, could she really lay hands on him?

Every onlooker’s gaze inadvertently followed their movements, awaiting the developments; some women even fantasized if they were the ones this man was pursuing, his stubborn tenacity just for their names would have left them swooning; they would willingly offer more than just their names.

A man of such caliber may be worth it even once; they were clueless as to why Mu Lin was holding back; could she simply be playing hard-to-get?

Such fantasies were merely the result of the feminine love for beauty.

However, just as they were lost in their dreams, the girl before them abruptly turned around and, to their utter surprise, a black gun appeared in her hands. Unhesitatingly, she pointed it at the man’s head.

A gunshot echoed through the air, bullets exploded, plunging the entire venue into chaos as screams erupted.

Quickly finding cover, Mu Lin hid, a chilling spark in her icy eyes. She hadn’t anticipated him to attack in a public venue like this. Taking note of the bullet’s direction, she speculated his hiding place and their distance.

However, despite her superb shooting skills, she was powerless with just an ordinary handgun because the distance was too great.

If only she had a sniper rifle at this moment.

Before she could think further, the sound of gunfire continued in a flurry. Bullets whizzed past, shattering glass tables in the hotel’s dining hall, ringing out in a chaotic symphony of shattered glass. The terrified receptionists could only crouch behind their marbled counter, clutching their heads in fear, thankful for the sturdy counter that intercepted stray bullets.

They had never thought they would find themselves in such a situation one day.

Bullets flew indiscriminately, and among the common folks gathered in the hotel lobby, especially in the midst of the chaotic evacuation, Mu Lin noticed several injured guests lying around, with the individual in the center of the lobby being the most severely injured.

The sudden gunfire sent everyone into a panicked frenzy.

Seemingly having had his fill of fun, the adversary ceased his attack, and the gunfire abruptly halted.

"Did you offend someone?" A somewhat rattled male voice rang out beside her, his eyes on the gun in Mu Lin’s hand. "You can’t really be a villain, can you? I really can’t tell." Despite the situation, he managed to comment, but his voice betrayed no fear. Just calmness.

"It has nothing to do with you." The icy voice of Mu Lin made it quite clear that she wanted nothing to do with this man. She was surprised by the agility he had displayed, managing to follow her without getting hit.

He seemed to be a well-trained martial artist.

As Mu Lin carefully surveyed the scene, studying the guests lying in pools of blood, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

If it were the past, she wouldn’t have given it a second thought, considering these events had nothing to do with her. But now, she couldn’t forget her identity; in this world, she wasn’t just the Poison Doctor. She was a soldier, a military doctor. Furthermore, today’s incident had been triggered by her.

Though she was reluctant to get involved, this moment reminded her of Jing Chen; if he were in her shoes, Mu Lin believed, he wouldn’t have backed off.

For he was a soldier, and protecting these individuals was his duty and responsibility.

A sigh escaped her lips; to Mu Lin, this was turning out to be quite a vexing situation.

Temporary tranquility had returned, but in the next moment, Mu Lin suddenly sprang towards the woman lying in a pool of blood at the center of the scene. Alas, she was abruptly pulled back by the person behind her.

"Are you trying to get killed?"
