Chapter 671: Chapter 442: Confrontation (Second Update)_1

In the midst of everyone’s fear, darkness descends once again. However, the moment everyone releases a terrified scream, the direction of the Main Gate suddenly lights up.

The gate opens, and everyone freezes. But the next moment, everyone instinctively rushes toward the gate, driven by fear.

The lights turn significantly brighter, and Mi Zheng’s eyebrows furrow in that moment.

Under the luminous light, just as the assassin is about to attack their prey, Mu Lin’s eyes harden. A silver glint flickers, and silver needles fly out, unhesitatingly finding their mark in the throats of the five individuals. Their bodies collapse in a heap, and screams echo around once more.

This is her unique method of killing without revealing her true identity.

The silver needles are deadly.

She has won.

"Captain, everything’s taken care of." One by one, men step forward to report at his side.

"Hmm." He nods faintly. His sharp, eagle-like eyes lift as he gravely starts to walk towards the hall.

Jing Chen never expected that he came here to find her and that such a thing would happen; he had no idea what had occurred inside, but the strict guard outside, he could only imagine.

His gaze drifts casually over the scene not far away. Jing Chen’s strides are somewhat large and weighty, he... is worried.

The light abruptly brightens, the gate opens, and the suddenness of it all fills everyone with joy. They rush toward the gate without hesitation, almost as if they don’t care for their lives.

However, when they’re about to reach the gate, they see dozens of people standing in an organized manner. They stop on the spot as the unexpected joy overwhelms them.

Dozens of people in camouflage military uniforms march in, dividing into two rows, guarding both the inside and outside of the gate.

Looking towards the gate, Mu Lin’s initially cold eyes warm up in that moment. She stands there quietly, waiting for his arrival.

She didn’t expect their mission to end so quickly; Jing Chen and the others’ arrival proved to be a great help. Without them opening the gate and switching on the lights, she wouldn’t have had the opportunity to deal with everything so swiftly.

She has achieved her goal.

From the moment the light brightens, everyone’s attention is drawn to the scene at the gate. However, only Mi Zheng’s gaze stays fixed on Mu Lin’s face from start to finish. As he watches her expression deepen, the light in his eyes grows colder.

Dressed in a sharp forest-green military uniform, the man in front exudes a commanding vibe. His unusually handsome face and pursed thin lips exude an intimidating air. As his cold, sharp gaze sweeps over everyone, they feel their breath hitch, as if they dare not move at all.

As people who have lived in high society, although they have seen individuals with impressive auras, they suddenly don’t know how to compare them with the man in front of them.

The aura from this man is more terrifying than when their fathers are furious, especially those eyes. They don’t dare to meet his gaze.

Was he here to rescue them?

Of course not.

Jing Chen’s arrival is solely for Mu Lin.

The moment the mission ended, they rushed over here. Jing Chen was supposed to come alone, but unfortunately, Jing Tian wanted to join in on the excitement. And so, this is the scene they are currently witnessing.

Hearing that Mu Lin was attending the "Hongmen Banquet", although they didn’t know what the Hongmen Banquet was, Jing Youlan expressed that as Mu Lin’s first friends and comrades, how could they not come?

It’s only when everyone sees what’s happening inside that they realize it’s indeed a trap. Jing Chen wasn’t joking; and Mu Lin has been facing all of it alone without them.

What happened to their promise of camaraderie? They seemed to be performing poorly in upkeeping it.

The blood stains, the dozen or so corpses scattered around, all point to what happened before their arrival. Everyone subconsciously looks at Mu Lin, relieved to see her standing there unharmed.

It’s good she’s not injured.

Mu Lin stands there quietly, watching as Jing Chen takes deliberate steps towards her. His lips pressed thin, his whole body appears tense.

"You..." she starts, wanting to say ’you’ve arrived’. But before the words can take flight, she’s pulled into his arms. Her eyes soften, her arms encircle his robust waist and she mutters, "I’m fine." So, there’s no need to worry or blame yourself.
