Chapter 84 Killer Day

"I know." The teenager said with a grin, "I don't like taking taxis.""If you don't like taxis, then take the bus! Move out of my way anyway!" The man spoke impatiently."And I don't like buses either,"...Chapter 86 Hunting the Assassin Xia Tian and Qiao Xiaoqiao were holding hands, leisurely strolling around within Jianghai University. They didn’t head to Xinxin’s Flower Shop because they weren’t there to find Sun Xinxin.

Xia Tian believed that the assassin from the Shadow Group was still looking for an opportunity to eliminate Qiao Xiaoqiao. If she continued staying at the Qiao Group Building, such an opportunity wouldn’t easily arise. Therefore, he brought her out to give the assassin a chance.

The streets were crowded and unsuitable for an assassination attempt, so he came to Jianghai University instead. During holidays, the school would be quiet, and even if someone fired a gun, it probably wouldn’t alarm many people.

In summary, Xia Tian had provided all the convenient conditions for the assassin; now he just waited for them to make their move.

"Husband, why hasn't that assassin appeared yet" Qiao Xiaoqiao asked softly. She naturally understood Xia Tian's true intentions and, out of her trust in him, she was willing to be bait.

"Don’t worry; he will definitely show up." Xia Tian was confident. Each assassin would investigate their target’s background after setting them as a target. The Shadow Group had specialized personnel for intelligence gathering; they certainly collected Qiao Xiaoqiao's information too. But Xia Tian believed that even if the details were extensive, it wouldn’t include his background information. Thus, in the eyes of the assassin, he was most likely just an ordinary person.

Qiao Xiaoqiao strolling around with an ordinary person at school without bodyguards was certainly unusual, but as a professional killer, they would not let such an opportunity slip away. Therefore, Xia Tian was certain that the assassin would show up eventually; he just didn’t know when it would happen.

After wandering for a while, they arrived on the sports field. Compared to other areas of the school, the sports field seemed lively with some people playing soccer and one person jogging—unclear whether he was a professional athlete or not in such hot weather.

The two of them walked slowly along the track without attracting much attention. Although Qiao Xiaoqiao was famous, not everyone recognized her. Moreover, unlike before when she usually had two conspicuous female bodyguards by her side, now both Qiao Xiaoqiao and Xia Tian were dressed casually like ordinary students. They looked like a typical student couple, so nobody would think that the beautiful girl was the renowned Qiao Xiaoqiao.

Summer thought this was a good place, with many people around, making it easy for assassins to blend in. However, the area was wide open, which wouldn't hinder shooting. Therefore, he decided to walk slowly along the track with Qiao Xiaoqiao, going round and round.

"Husband, let's rest for a while," said Qiao Xiaoqiao, who wasn't very good at sports and felt tired after walking around so long. So she pulled Summer to sit on the stand.

During their leisurely stroll, another group of people entered to play football. There were ten of them, divided into two teams wearing different jerseys—the legendary Mars colliding with Earth, Real Madrid versus Barcelona.

Unfortunately, these players were far inferior to the real ones from Real Madrid and Barcelona, lacking coordination in their skills. They just kicked the ball up into the air when they moved it.

"What terrible footwork!" Qiao Xiaoqiao couldn't help but look down on them.

It was said that cursing someone behind their back would bring bad karma, so if you were going to curse, do it face-to-face. And just as Qiao Xiaoqiao had looked down upon those fake Real Madrid and Barcelona players, a Real Madrid player kicked the ball with great force straight towards her.

Summer didn't go to catch the ball because he knew it wouldn't hit Qiao Xiaoqiao, but she was startled by it, leaping onto Summer's body.

The kick had quite some power; the football flew over Qiao Xiaoqiao's head and then suddenly fell right behind her.

With one hand, Qiao Xiaoqiao grabbed hold of the ball.

"Hey, beautiful, sorry!" A tall and strong guy ran over; it was the one who had kicked the ball earlier. "Could you throw the ball to me Thanks!"

Qiao Xiaoqiao held the soccer ball in both hands and threw it forcefully downward, but her strength wasn't enough, so she couldn't throw it very far. The guy stepped back a bit before catching the ball.

The moment he caught the ball, his smile vanished instantly, turning abnormally cold as a gun suddenly appeared in his hand.

"Bang!" The gunshot rang out abruptly.

"Ah…" Qiao Xiaoqiao let out a low, delicate cry. Although she had been waiting for the assassin's appearance, she still hadn't expected him to be this guy who was playing soccer. He looked barely twenty and appeared like an ordinary sunny young boy, making it impossible to connect him with that cold-blooded killer.

With the gunshot, a hint of satisfaction flashed across the killer’s cold face, along with a touch of cruelty in his eyes because he knew no one could dodge such a close shot. A few hours earlier, someone had taken the bullet for her, but now, no one would be able to save her!

But in the next second, that satisfaction vanished from his face, replaced by shock. He didn't hear his target's piercing scream nor see a beautiful spray of blood burst out from her chest because he saw nothing at all as the target had disappeared from his sight.

A sense of danger suddenly came from behind him. Years of honing his alertness made him subconsciously want to dodge, but before his body could react, searing pain erupted in the back of his head and everything went black as he fainted.

Meanwhile, those playing on the field had been stunned by the sudden gunshot. They didn’t come to their senses until they saw the killer lying on the ground with a gun still clutched in his hand, realizing that this wasn't a dream but an actual shooting incident taking place right before them.

"Someone killed, run for your lives!" Someone shouted, and the people on the playground scattered instantly. They all suddenly became sprinters, vanishing in a blink from Xia Tian's sight.

Xia Tian put away the assassin’s gun and poked at him with two fingers to make sure that he wouldn’t wake up for some time.

"Honey, do you know any place suitable for interrogation" Xia Tian casually asked.

"I’ll give Big Brother Qiao a call. He probably has people around here on standby. Let him arrange the place," said Qiao Xiaoqiao as she took out her phone and dialed Qiao Donghai's number.

“Big brother told us to wait for three minutes,” Qiao Xiaoqiao hung up after a moment, and then relayed this message to Xia Tian. Clearly, her judgment was correct; even though Qiao Donghai didn’t send people to follow them closely, he still had people nearby on standby.

“Hmm, they should be faster than the police,” Xia Tian was quite satisfied with this speed. He did not want this assassin to be caught by the police since he wanted to interrogate him personally; otherwise, if they reached the station, Policewoman Sister would probably stop him from getting involved.

However, Xia Tian soon discovered that he had miscalculated. After only one minute, a policeman ran towards them.

"What happened" The police officer approached and asked anxiously, "I’m the on-duty police officer at Jianghai University’s security office. I heard about someone shooting here; is there something like this happening"

“No idea,” Qiao Xiaoqiao put on an innocent expression, “Big Brother Policeman, my boyfriend and I just came for a walk here and didn’t see anything except that the guy was unconscious here. We have no clue what happened!”

"Is that so" The cop looked at Qiao Xiaoqiao and Xia Tian doubtfully, "Did you shoot this person"

"Brother Cop, of course not! We are students here." Qiao Xiaoqiao hurriedly explained. She was just buying time; once her brother sent reinforcements, someone would handle the situation on their side.

That cop snorted coldly and reached for his gun at his waist.

"Husband, he's not a cop!" Qiao Xiaoqiao suddenly shouted out.

A trace of ruthlessness flashed across the cop’s eyes as he pulled out his gun and fired.

“Bang!” The gunshot rang out.

“Eh…” A painful scream came from that so-called-cop, while Xia Tian had already gotten a hold on another pistol. It was precisely the one he confiscated earlier; this shot hit the cop's right hand which held the gun.

The fake cop clutched his bleeding right hand but didn’t run away; instead, with his left hand, he pulled out a sharp knife and lunged towards Xia Tian.

“Bang bang!” Two more shots were fired. The impostor’s legs got hit one after another; his knees buckled as he fell to the ground.

In the summer, with a flick of his hand, the gun hit the fake policeman's head. A muffled groan was heard, and just like the first assassin, this killer also fell unconscious to the ground.

"Do you not know that my Third Uncle is the Gun God" Summer looked at the guy on the ground with a hint of disdain, holding a silver needle in his hand which he used to stop the bleeding temporarily. He still wanted to interrogate this guy and couldn't afford to let him bleed to death.

"Husband, did you know that he wasn't a real police officer" Qiao Xiaoqiao finally relaxed.

"I could sense his murderous aura," Summer said lazily. "If the Shadow Gang is made up of people like this, there's nothing to be afraid of."

After pausing for a moment, Summer couldn't resist asking: "Wife, how did you know he wasn't a police officer"

"Oh, I knew that the duty police officers at Jianghai University’s security office are not armed," Qiao Xiaoqiao replied.

Summer was stunned; this reason was far from what he had imagined. He didn't know anything about the police officers at Jianghai University's security office and naturally wouldn't have known whether they were armed or not.

"Miss Qiao!" A voice came from a distance, followed by seven or eight large men sprinting over—clearly the bodyguards sent by Qiao Donghai.

They arrived sooner than expected; it had only been two minutes and they were already in front of Qiao Xiaoqiao.ether would at least be safe."Mr. Summer, where should we go to eat" Yun Qing smiled faintly; although she was somewhat repulsed by Summer in her heart, she still maintained a certain degree of polite...
