Under the crowd's urging, Qin Xuan, his old face flushed red, glanced at Xiao Ya.
Then, steeling his resolve, he leaned in and kissed her, encouraged by her gaze.
*Smack.*
Accompanied by an intimate sound,
their lips pressed heavily onto Xiao Ya's tender, water-like cheek.
Then, as if electrocuted, they quickly pulled apart.
The crowd shouted their disapproval, demanding Qin Xuan kiss her again.
Amused, Xiao Ya tiptoed and kissed him on the lips.
She herself had been single her entire life and had no prior kissing experience before getting together with Qin Xuan.
So, despite mustering her courage, her lips only met his.
After a long moment, they parted.
The onlookers were immensely satisfied.
Even the children who had been crying earlier now laughed happily.
The two people being watched by everyone, however, had bright red faces that didn't fade until the cable car reached its station.
The retractable doors opened.
All passengers disembarked with smiles on their faces.
A contingent of special forces soldiers and riot police rushed forward immediately.
While calming and evacuating passengers, they also converged on the cable car.
Upon closer inspection,
they saw Qin Xuan holding the "bomb vest" weighing dozens of pounds in one hand, and carrying Qi Feiyang, who weighed over a hundred pounds, like a puppy in the other.
After slowly exiting the cable car, he handed both items over to them.
"The bomb is relatively stable. Just find an open area to detonate it safely."
"As for this person, he is an extremely dangerous individual."
"Tell Fu Guo'an to send him to the capital immediately to be handed over to my Grandmaster."
"Ensure he doesn't wake up on the way."
"Yes!"
Receiving the bomb and Qi Feiyang from Qin Xuan, the special forces soldiers saluted smartly.
The young man before them had, by himself, disarmed all the bombs and subdued the terrorist.
Such formidable ability was befitting a General promoted through special exception by the Dragon Country's authorities!
However, for some reason,
he felt a faint, intermittent chill emanating from Qin Xuan.
Although the latter was doing his best to restrain himself, he could still sense it.
And based on his years of combat experience, this chill was precisely...
killing intent!
Yes, Qin Xuan desperately wanted to kill right now.
But Qi Feiyang could not be killed.
Because behind him was a mysterious organization that had orchestrated the terrorist attack.
As long as this mysterious organization remained alive, Qin Xuan would not find peace.
That was why he sent Qi Feiyang to the capital.
Because there, his Grandmaster could use his proud skill, the Soul Searching Technique!
No matter how powerful Qi Feiyang was, he would be unable to resist his master's Soul Searching.
Leaving the cable car station, Qin Xuan immediately called Yuan Mengqi.
Firstly, to inquire if the person who tipped off Qi Feiyang had been found.
Secondly, to ask her to increase security around Qin Linger.
After all, if the skilled Xiao Ya could be so easily abducted, the defenseless Qin Linger would surely be in greater danger.
However, to Qin Xuan's surprise,
both matters had already been handled by her.
When Qin Xuan mentioned someone tipping off Qi Feiyang, Yuan Mengqi's team had already conducted a thorough search of the surroundings.
And shortly thereafter, they apprehended several foreign informants on a high ground by the river.
As for Qin Linger, Yuan Mengqi had assigned dedicated personnel to protect her the moment Xiao Ya went missing.
No other strangers were allowed within a hundred-meter radius!
Furthermore, she had reported the incident to the Dragon Country's authorities as quickly as possible.
After all, this attack had threatened not only Qin Xuan's close associates but also the general public.
Judging by the nature of the attack,
it could be considered a premeditated terrorist act!
Therefore, the Dragon Country's high command would undoubtedly strengthen controls to prevent similar incidents from recurring.
Receiving Yuan Mengqi's reply, Qin Xuan was very pleased with her meticulousness.
After thanking her, he took Xiao Ya's hand and headed directly to the Jiangcheng Law Enforcement Bureau.
He hadn't found any information about the mysterious organization on Qi Feiyang earlier.
The clothes were new ones bought after the man arrived in Dragon Country, and the bombs and handgun were also provided by someone after he reached Jiangcheng.
So, until his master sent word, Qin Xuan hoped to obtain some clues from these foreign individuals who had assisted him.
"How is it, did they say anything?"
Outside the interrogation room, Qin Xuan asked the director of the Law Enforcement Bureau who had been waiting there.
Liu Che nodded with a look of shame. "They are assassins who infiltrated secretly from abroad, hired by a foreign assassin organization."
"It is our dereliction of duty not to have detected their presence beforehand."
Qin Xuan waved his hand, signaling him not to worry too much.
Dragon Country was so powerful, with millions of foreign tourists visiting daily.
With so many people, their identities were naturally mixed.
However, what he cared about now was not this.
It was the assassins' objective.
Their infiltration into Dragon Country indicated a clear target.
Their infiltration into Jiangcheng meant the target was in Jiangcheng.
Coupled with their assistance to Qi Feiyang,
Qin Xuan found it hard not to believe their target was himself, or someone close to him.
As expected, during subsequent interrogations, Jack and the others confessed their targets.
They were indeed Qin Xuan and Qin Linger!
However, they did not belong to the same organization as Qi Feiyang.
Their joint operation this time was purely because they had obtained the same intelligence from the same information broker at the same time.
Hence, they decided to join forces and eliminate Qin Xuan, the biggest troublemaker, first.
"Since it was a collaboration, why didn't you inform Qi Feiyang that the bombs had been disarmed?"
Facing the foreign men, Qin Xuan couldn't help but ask.
They were taken aback, clearly unaware of this fact.
"We only started monitoring the surroundings half an hour before you arrived."
"Before that, we were sunbathing and having a barbecue."
Qin Xuan: "..."
Having a barbecue while on a mission was indeed carefree.
But...
sunbathing in Jiangcheng in December?
Were their senses dulled, or were they truly unafraid of the cold?
After asking, Qin Xuan had nothing more to say.
From Jack's clothes and words, he had already obtained the information broker's exact location and contact details.
As for who the employer behind the killings was, they were all low-level assassins and had no authority to know.
"Alright, take them away."
"They are of no further value to me."
"Proceed with the subsequent procedures according to regulations."
Waving his hand, Qin Xuan and Liu Che turned to leave.
Seeing this, Jack and the others were displeased, slamming the table and shouting, "We've told you everything we can."
"Now, we request to be repatriated to the United States!"
Liu Che sneered, "You attacked important officials and their relatives in Dragon Country and expect to be repatriated?"
"There's no such good thing!"
"Prepare to face justice in Dragon Country's courts!"
Jack was still defiant, "On what grounds?!"
"We are free American citizens, and only American law can punish us!"
Liu Che scoffed, "I don't care if you are American or from the United States."
"Since you committed a crime in Dragon Country, you must accept the legal sanctions of our Dragon Country!"
"Your American reach doesn't extend this far!"
