Chapter 233: Chapter 0233: There’s an Assassin

"Is it that funny?"

Lin Yingying’s eyebrows raised in vexation as she shot him a glance.

Long Fei explained, "You’ve got it all wrong. I just wanted to tell you that I can emit essential qi with my palm."

"Ah?"

Embarrassed, Lin Yingying suddenly bit her lower lip and awkwardly exclaimed, "Are you being silly or what?"

Long Fei said seriously, "Not being silly at all, I want to prove my innocence. Just now, I was indeed massaging you, not playing with your foot."

"Oh my god, I really want to die!"

Lin Yingying leaned back on the sofa, completely on a different wavelength from him.

She handed her hand over to Long Fei to do with as he pleased.

Long Fei summoned a stream of essential qi from his meridians and pushed it out through his palm, transferring it into Lin Yingying’s palm.

Lin Yingying’s hand buzzed with numbness, feeling as if something tunneled into it, and she sat up in surprise.

Long Fei asked her with a smile, "Feel anything?"

"Seems like I do!"

Lin Yingying stared at her own hand, her blood flow speeding up a little, the sensation feeling truly magical.

"Is this Qigong?"

She couldn’t help but ask.

Long Fei withdrew his hand and nodded, "Pretty much!"

Lin Yingying felt like she understood him less and less. She had him sit down on the sofa and looked at him earnestly, "Can you tell me the truth?"

"Sure?"

Long Fei sat down, calmly facing her.

She inquired, "This Qigong of yours, as well as the medical skills you used to treat Master Shen, including your calligraphy, who did you learn all of these from?"

Before, she always thought Long Fei was just a country bumpkin.

Aside from being tall and strong, and good at fighting, he seemed to have no other talents.

Now, she realized she had severely underestimated the guy.

Long Fei thought it over. This question was indeed hard to answer.

He said honestly, "If I say I’m self-taught, would you believe me?"

"Believe you, my foot!"

Lin Yingying knew he wouldn’t tell; such people always keep things mysterious, acting like some sort of heroes from the martial arts world.

Long Fei just smiled and did not elaborate further.

He checked the time, and without further small talk, stood up to take his leave, "It’s getting late, I should head home!"

Lin Yingying quickly stood up, reaching out to stop him, "What’s the rush? Stay and chat with me a bit longer!"

When she was alone before, it never seemed like an issue.

But now that she was suddenly in love, the moment Long Fei said he would leave, she felt an immediate emptiness in her heart.

Today, Wang Xiaoya hadn’t thought about going over to his place; last night’s ordeal was too intense and had scared her off.

She had just sent a WeChat message saying she was going to her parents’ house to rest for a few days.

Seeing Lin Yingying’s pleading look, Long Fei sat back down and said, "Okay then, let’s chat a little longer!"

Lin Yingying breathed a sigh of relief, heated up some water, and prepared two cups of Kung Fu tea.

It was apparent that both she and Lin Shanshan had received proper training.

Their technique was practiced and graceful.

Her little hand holding the teapot, she gently tapped it on the teacup.

The brewed tea flowed through the spout, wafting a burst of fragrance into the air.

Lin Yingying handed him the cup, saying, "There’s something I need to inform you about in advance."

"What is it?"

Long Fei took a sip of tea and frowned slightly.

Lin Yingying said, "Next week, I need you to come with me to my parents’ house. They already know about your situation and have specifically asked me to invite you over for a meal."

"Meeting the parents again?"

Long Fei felt overwhelmed; he hadn’t expected to be such a popular son-in-law, with both families eager to meet him.

Lin Yingying frowned slightly and said, "Who else wants to meet you? Little Ya’s parents?"

Long Fei nodded, not hiding it from her.

"Not bad, you’ve reached the stage of meeting the parents."

Lin Yingying offered a smile that was not quite a smile and took a small sip from her teacup.

Long Fei laughed and asked, "Why do you sound so sour in your words?"

"Exactly, I’m jealous, are you happy now?"

Lin Yingying glared at him and said she had agreed to date him together with Wang Xiaoya.

But when truly faced with the situation, it was impossible not to be jealous.

However, to win Long Fei’s heart, she had to endure.

She, Lin Yingying, must win.

After finishing her tea, Lin Yingying said she was going to take a bath and asked Long Fei to watch the door for her.

Long Fei was bewildered, thinking, what the heck, a man watching the door while a woman bathes? That’s like asking a wolf to guard sheep!

She entered the bathroom, and soon there was the sound of running water inside.

Long Fei looked around and wanted to leave, but he hadn’t said goodbye to Lin Yingying; leaving without a word would seem impolite.

He took a deep breath and made himself a cup of tea.

Suddenly, the lights in the room went out.

Long Fei’s brows instantly furrowed, and he quickly took out his phone to turn on the light.

Lin Yingying called out anxiously from the bathroom, "Long Fei, are you still out there?"

"I’m here!"

Long Fei replied.

Lin Yingying breathed a sigh of relief; her clothes were just off when the power went out.

It was pitch black; she was quite scared being alone inside.

She instructed softly, "My phone is in my purse; get it for me!"

There were no candles in the house, nor any emergency power supply.

Lin Yingying planned to make do with her phone, haphazardly rinse off, and then come out.

Long Fei rummaged through her bag, pulled out her phone, and brought it over to her.

He knocked on the door and thought to himself that in a villa complex like this, why would there be a sudden power outage?

Lin Yingying opened the door from the inside, covering herself with a towel in her right hand and stretching out her left hand to take the phone.

Her fair body couldn’t be fully covered.

Long Fei caught a glimpse of her slender legs, almost blinding his dog eyes.

Damn it, his nose felt hot.

He handed the phone to Lin Yingying, turning his head to one side, deliberately avoiding looking.

Lin Yingying blushed and cursed her luck.

Why on earth did the power go out out of the blue?

After the door closed, Long Fei asked from outside, "Did you not pay the utility bill?"

Lin Yingying shouted back, "This complex was built by my family, who dares to charge me a property fee!"

"Is that so!"

Long Fei chuckled dryly and told her, "Then wait a moment, I’ll go take a look."

Lin Yingying called out in a panic, "Hurry up! I’m scared being alone."

"Understood."

Long Fei reassured her and used his phone as a flashlight, ready to go out and take a look.

Looking out through the French window, he could vaguely see lights shining in the distance, suggesting it wasn’t a major power outage.

He opened the door, but before he could step out,

a dagger glinting with cold light suddenly thrust forward.

It moved so swiftly that an ordinary person would not have had time to react.

Long Fei was quick-witted and fast, grabbing the wrist behind the dagger and pulling the assailant into the room with a violent tug.

At the same time, he shone the flash of his phone forward and saw a person in a delivery uniform squinting their eyes, reaching back to their waist and swiftly drawing a black handgun aimed right at Long Fei.

In the blink of an eye, Long Fei’s right hand clutched the assailant’s right wrist and pushed it back fiercely.

The dagger plunged into the attacker’s throat with a wet sound.

Blood sprayed, and the neck bone broke.

The force of the dagger was so great that it pierced right through the neck bone.

The person’s eyes bulged, their face incredulous as they collapsed to the ground.

In their eyes was an expression of unwillingness; given one second more, they would have been able to pull the trigger.
