Chapter 163 An Appropriate Location
“Do you know him?”
While carrying her and running deep into the forest, Bai Chen asked this when he heard Xu Xin Tong’s surprised tone of voice.
Xu Xin Tong turned back to him. Her beautiful face was now as white as a sheet. She nodded and inhaled deeply.
“Yes. He’s an assassin from the Hell Shadow International Assassin Association. You need a lot of money to hire them—at least a hundred million yuan!”
Bai Chen’s facial expression changed a bit, though it was not because of the name of the association, it was the price! Over a hundred million yuan?!?
First, it should be known that a hundred million yuan was actually a lot of money. It was enough to take care of a big family for a lifetime.
“That expensive?” Bai Chen could not help but ask while he sped up a little. He knew that Peter, the assassin, was catching up to them. It seemed like he was already at his full speed.
Xu Xin Tong was not surprised that Bai Chen had not heard of the Hell Shadow International Assassin Association or its scary reputation before since he was only a normal 18-year old boy in her eyes.
He was not a police officer like her, who possessed knowledge about assassin associations that were open for assassination services and thus considered serious criminals.
? “It’s that expensive. Once they’ve accepted the job, they guarantee success. If one fails, they’ll just send other ones until the target is eliminated!” she told him. Her voice was cold and deadly serious.
“If it’s like that, does that mean you’re in grave danger?”
Bai Chen suddenly frowned after hearing what she had said. He thought that it seemed like Xu Xin Tong had fallen out with someone willing to pay as much as over a hundred million yuan to hire an assassin from the Hell Shadow International Assassin Association to kill her.
He could clearly see how bad the situation that Xu Xin Tong had gotten herself into was. He was able to help her now.
But there was no guarantee that next time she would not be killed by one of the assassins from Hell Shadow if there was no bodyguard who was skilled enough to deal with the dispatched assassin.
“I know...” Xu Xin Tong pressed her lips together. Even though her face was still white, it also revealed sparks of anger.
She knew full well who’d hired this assassin. If her guess was correct, Chin Fei was surely behind this!
Bai Chen could clearly see her anger from her facial expression. He could not help but frown even harder. He thought she had already figured out who had hired the assassin to kill her.
“From the look on your face, you likely know who hired the assassin from the association to kill you, right?” he asked.
“I do!” Her answer was said in a firm, clear voice. It was obviously anger she was feeling.
“Why haven’t you caught or dealt with that person? Aren’t you a police officer?” Bai Chen asked again, confused.
“It’s not that easy. Even if I know who hired that Hell Shadow assassin to come after me, I don’t know his whereabouts,” Xu Xin Tong answered. She did not wonder why Bai Chen knew that she was a police officer. She thought her big sister, Xu Xue Ning, had told him.
She was wrong. It was not Xu Xue Ning who had told him. He knew it from her name card, which she had given to him on the day that he had saved her from the great assassin Hei Chang.
Xu Xin Tong would not be able to connect the dots and realize that it’s the same person who had saved her life and Bai Chen because they were too different in age.
“I see.” Bai Chen nodded.
He finally understood why Xu Xin Tong had not dealt with the one who had hired the assassin to kill her yet, even though she already knew who it was.
“Hey, you! Where are you running off to? I’m telling you that you won’t get away from me! I suggest you surrender and die!”
Suddenly, a laughing voice speaking English sounded from behind Bai Chen.
“What the heck is he talking about?” Bai Chen frowned in confusion. He did not understand much English. Thus, it was only normal that he did not understand what Peter was saying.
“He told us to stop running. We’ll never get away from him!”
Just because Bai Chen did not understand English, that did not mean that Xu Xin Tong would not, either. She could understand it well. Her facial expression darkened while she spoke. She felt both angry and scared by what the foreigner had just said.
Hearing what Xu Xin Tong said, Bai Chen’s face grew even colder. He turned his head back for a split second and realized that he had run quite deep into the forest, to the point that he could not see the road anymore.
All he could see were trees and thick shrubbery.
“Here’s probably good enough.” Bai Chen slowed his pace down.
He finally came to a stop. At the same time, he turned around to look at Peter who was running closer towards them.
“Why did you stop?!?” Xu Xin Tong screamed. Bai Chen slowly put her down.
Standing on her own two feet, Xu Xin Tong could not help but be worried because she had not gotten any answer from Bai Chen. She saw that the foreigner had also stopped running. He was only steps away from her and Bai Chen.
About ten steps away, to be precise.
How could Xu Xin Tong not be worried when Peter, an assassin from the Hell Shadow International Assassin Association, was standing only ten steps away from her? Frankly speaking, she was scared of death, but the guilt was far greater than that.
Death would be scary, but if it was her destiny, then it was inevitable. However, if Bai Chen had to die with her, that would be great guilt that she would have to carry for the rest of her life!
This was one of the reasons why she was worried.
“Don’t worry.” Bai Chen said to Xu Xin Tong. The reason why he’d stopped running was not because of the foreigner’s words. He just thought that he had already found an appropriate location.
It was a good place to deal with the foreign assassin because it was deep in the forest, and no one was around. He could do anything here.
“You go hide behind that tree. I’ll do this myself!”
Bai Chen pointed his finger at a tree. He was speaking calmly and without fear.
