Chapter 80: Chapter 80: All Flopped (Seeking Recommendation Votes)
Wang Xian, sitting by the window, clutched Lin Xi’s arm tightly, her previously resolute expression replaced with panic.
When Lin Xi lifted her up, he did it without warning, taking advantage of her distraction to place her directly on top.
"What kind of person is this!" Wang Xian’s mind was collapsing at the moment.
As for Lin Xi, his expression became a bit odd.
"Why not wait for them to fight down there a bit more." Lin Xi couldn’t help but whisper.
After all, it was a life-and-death struggle, and it had nothing to do with him.
"What?" Wang Xian’s heart was collapsing, and she didn’t quite hear it clearly.
"It’s nothing." Lin Xi, seeing Wang Xian’s terrified face, felt a bit embarrassed and handed over the end of a blanket, saying, "Hold onto it tightly, do not let go unless I tell you to. Don’t worry about anything else."
"Those are police down there. When you go down, she will take care of you."
"Now, close your eyes!"
Understanding the urgency of the moment, Wang Xian, though frightened, did not hesitate and followed Lin Xi’s instructions to tightly grip the twisted blanket while closing her eyes.
Lin Xi tugged a bit, ensuring she held on tightly, and felt assured.
He then lifted her whole body and carefully let her out, releasing her entirely as he gradually lowered her down using the makeshift rope.
Within two minutes, Zhou Yan below held Wang Xian, who had safely touched the ground, her only injury being slightly scratched hands.
Lin Xi nodded at them, signaling them not to act rashly and to stay put.
Because over here, the kidnappers couldn’t possibly come.
Even if one or two came, Lin Xi believed Zhou Yan could protect herself with her ability.
Ignoring the surprise of the two downstairs, Lin Xi turned and walked towards the door.
"Reckless!" Zhou Yan muttered under her breath, feeling somewhat worried.
Zhou Yan urged Wang Xian to stay put, while she continued back to her original position, secretly observing the fight between the two sides and Lin Xi’s movements.
Upstairs, Lin Xi was now unburdened, feeling relaxed.
Seeing the fifteen kidnappers below, constantly attacking the cars outside, Lin Xi frowned; these people were truly audacious.
He had never heard of such brazen acts occurring here.
Originally, he didn’t want to intervene, but since these people had kidnapped someone from the Wang family, he had no choice.
The staircase was "zigzag-shaped." Lin Xi grabbed the railing with one hand and jumped down twice, arriving on the first floor.
At this moment, all the kidnappers heard a slight noise coming from behind.
They thought it was their brothers from upstairs coming down, but unexpectedly, a strange young man appeared before them.
Startling them, they were no fools and knew something had definitely happened upstairs.
Just as they were about to turn and aim at Lin Xi, they felt a sharp sting on their necks, akin to an ant bite, followed by darkness in front of them, losing consciousness and collapsing.
The remaining eight were completely unaware of what had happened.
All they saw was their nearby brothers glancing back, then suddenly a silver needle appeared on their necks, and they fell to the ground.
At this time, they couldn’t care about the police outside.
"Even ghosts could kill!" one of them thought.
But to their shock, though they were shot at like a beehive from behind, there wasn’t a shadow of a ghost in sight.
This made them even more terrified; could they have encountered a ghost?
"Wrong!" The bald Brother Shan on the edge couldn’t help but shiver.
Because he found that somehow, someone had appeared beside him, someone he hadn’t seen before, wearing unfamiliar clothes, definitely not one of his brothers.
Just as he was about to shout, his stomach suddenly ached with such sharp pain it was helpless to hold his gun, which dropped to the ground with a "thump."
He himself also fell to the ground, nearly fainting from the pain.
The next moment, before the others could react, Lin Xi was already beside another person, delivering a punch like before.
This person also instantly lost their fighting ability.
Now, only six remained.
These six finally reacted, discovering Lin Xi dressed casually.
But what terrified them was that they couldn’t fix their gaze on him; he seemed to be moving slowly, yet their focus couldn’t keep up.
This situation was bizarre; explaining it to outsiders would seem utterly unscientific.
Consider that they were only three meters away from Lin Xi at the closest, six meters at the farthest, yet they felt utterly powerless.
"Damn!" one of them couldn’t stand it any longer. He fired his gun, starting to sweep forward, refusing to believe it.
At this distance, even if their eyes couldn’t keep up, the frequency of his shooting should be enough to riddled the opponent with bullets.
However, such fire also risked injuring his own people, being as dispersed as they were, as he tracked Lin Xi’s movements.
The others slightly moved towards him, hoping in their hearts he could hit the target.
"Looking for death!"
Lin Xi yelled softly, watching as he moved to an incredible angle, instantly appearing behind the man and kicking him, sending him flying four or five meters, his fate uncertain.
"It’s time to end this!"
After saying this, the remaining five kidnappers, still bewildered, suffered punches or kicks from Lin Xi at different places on their bodies, collapsing one after another.
All this took only twenty seconds.
If they hadn’t been so spread out, Lin Xi could have finished them in ten seconds.
And since Lin Xi sent Wang Xian downstairs, less than five minutes had passed, enough to frighten a group of people if the news spread.
"Big-chested sister, enter the warehouse from the entrance." Lin Xi had just added Zhou Yan’s WeChat in the car and sent her a message now.
The credit for this must be given to her, as Lin Xi was a man of his word.
Another reason was his desire not to overly expose himself, as it would attract many past troubles.
Leaning against the wall, Zhou Yan felt anxious.
For right after Lin Xi sent Wang Xian down, the kidnappers ceased their gunfire towards Ren Hao, turning instead to the noises inside the warehouse.
For nearly five minutes, Zhou Yan felt time pass sluggishly; her exterior appeared calm, yet internally she was extremely anxious.
It wasn’t until now, when receiving Lin Xi’s message, that she was somewhat shocked, "What’s going on? Could they have been apprehended?"
