Ling Tian finished his meeting and left the headquarters of Bing Tian Pharmaceutical directly. He got a car from the company and drove for more than 20 minutes to a villa area in the southern part of the capital.
This was a newly delivered villa area in the capital. Wang Bingxia had personally chosen the house here, mainly for convenience when she worked in the capital in the future. It was very close to the capital headquarters of Bing Tian Pharmaceutical.
The villa was a three-story detached house located on the edge of the community, with European architecture and a lot of greenery in the yard. The nearest neighbor was more than 50 meters away.
It was not easy to buy a villa with such good greenery in the capital.
Ling Tian was very satisfied. After entering the villa, he started making calls to inquire about the progress of Wang Bingxia's case.
By this time, night had fallen. A white van, the kind used to transport dead bodies and then ashes, drove into the community swaggeringly from outside.
The van had the logo of a certain air conditioning company printed on its side. The driver told the security guards that the air conditioner in a resident's house was broken and he was here to fix it.
The security guards did not suspect anything. The weather was getting colder, and it was still some time before the heating season. It was not strange for the air conditioner to malfunction at this time.
The driver of the van was named Gao Xiang. This guy was the godson of Gao Jiuri from the Gao family.
He was an orphan, adopted by Gao family at a high price from a young age. After cruel training, he eventually became a death warrior of the Gao family, a highly skilled killing machine.
There were several such assassins under the Gao family, and Gao Xiang was undoubtedly the most outstanding among them.
To eliminate Ling Tian, Gao Jiuri had sent out his most trusted godson.
The Gao family's informants had been lurking near the headquarters of Bing Tian Pharmaceutical. When Ling Tian came out, he quietly followed him in his car, eventually locking onto Ling Tian's location. As evening approached and the sky darkened, Gao Xiang prepared to make his move.
The sky had completely darkened. Ling Tian was making a phone call in the bedroom on the third floor. He had not turned on the lights, and the entire house was pitch black, with only a few landscape lights in the yard emitting a faint glow.
However, this was no obstacle for Gao Xiang. He opened the car trunk and took out a device that looked like an astronomical telescope, aiming it at Ling Tian's house.
Immediately after, he took out a special pair of glasses, put them on, and activated the device. The next moment, Ling Tian's position appeared on the glasses. There, in the room on the third floor, a humanoid object could be seen lying on the bed!
This was the most advanced infrared detector, capable of penetrating the outer walls of the building and capturing the faint temperature differences inside the house. With this device, the location of the person inside could be pinpointed.
Of course, this set of equipment was worth tens of millions of US dollars, and only a behemoth like the Gao family could equip their death warriors with such devices.
Gao Xiang took out a crossbow from the trunk. This crossbow was very exquisite, with a circular mechanism in the center that had five slots, like a roulette wheel.
Gao Xiang carefully placed five crossbow bolts, each more than 10 centimeters long, into the slots and then operated the circular mechanism.
"Click, click, click..."
With five crisp sounds, the crossbow was cocked.
Gao Xiang was very satisfied with this weapon. He could even hit an apple at a distance of 30 meters with this crossbow.
Moreover, the tips of the five crossbow bolts installed on the crossbow were coated with a deadly poison.
Gao Xiang, carrying the crossbow, stealthily infiltrated Ling Tian's villa. His high-tech detection equipment was still mounted on the car roof, aimed at the house. This way, he could use the glasses-like device to survey the entire interior of the house.
Although the house had a security system, Wang Bingxia did not have much time to replace it. It was still the original system installed by the developer when the house was built. These trash systems could not stop a top assassin like Gao Xiang.
He silently disabled the security system and entered the house.
Gao Xiang's shoes were specially made. Not only did they not leave footprints, but they also made no sound when he walked.
Thus, Gao Xiang went directly up the stairs to the bedroom on the third floor. The bedroom door was not closed. Gao Xiang took off his special glasses and prepared to launch the final attack.
Although these glasses could function as night vision goggles, it was very inconvenient to wear them while fighting.
Moreover, Gao Xiang had undergone rigorous training since childhood. His daily diet contained a large amount of vitamin A and carotene, and he had also received a lot of harsh training to see targets clearly under various conditions.
Although the lights were off inside the room, the light from the landscape lighting in the yard that shone into the room was enough for him to locate the target.
Gao Xiang quietly approached the bedroom door, holding the crossbow with both hands, and carefully aimed at the large bed in the room. He had seen Ling Tian lying on the bed through the night vision equipment earlier.
However, in the next moment, Gao Xiang's pupils suddenly contracted. It turned out that the large bed was empty.
Through the light from the landscape lighting outside the window, Gao Xiang could even see that the bedsheet on the bed was not flat, indicating that someone had just been lying there.
He quickly scanned the entire room but found no one!
Almost instantly, Gao Xiang broke out in a cold sweat. He knew something was wrong!
However, at this moment, a mocking voice came from behind him.
"Hey, are you looking for me?"
In a flash, Gao Xiang turned around abruptly and pulled the trigger of the crossbow without hesitation.
"Bang bang bang!"
Three crossbow bolts shot out like a volley towards the source of the sound. Gao Xiang did not need to aim with his eyes. He had undergone rigorous training, and reacting to sound was a basic skill.
However, these three crossbow bolts missed their mark and were embedded in the wall.
At this time, Gao Xiang had already turned around. He looked in surprise at the three crossbow bolts embedded in the wall, but there was no one where the sound had come from!
"Where is he?" Gao Xiang's soul asked itself.
Just then, a voice came from the bed inside the room.
"Hey, what are you looking for? I'm here!"
Gao Xiang turned back sharply and saw Ling Tian on the bed. He could hardly believe his eyes. The room had only one exit, so how could Ling Tian be inside and outside the room in an instant!
Even with the most advanced movement techniques, it was impossible!
