"A handgun?"
"What kind of person was he?"
"When did you see him?"
Seeing the woman's agitation, Qin Xuan quickly signaled her to relax.
To gain her trust, he even handed her his officer's ID for inspection.
"Qin, Xuan?"
"Are you the youngest General Qin Xuan who caused such a stir online recently?"
Returning the ID to Qin Xuan, a spark instantly appeared in the woman's eyes.
In her excitement, she paid no mind to her heaving chest or her thin, gossamer pajamas.
She was very interested in this General, who was only 26 years old.
At the same time, she was eager to conduct a private interview with him.
"Ahem, if there isn't another General Qin Xuan in this world, then you're talking about me."
"But you'll catch a cold in your current state, you should put on more clothes."
Clearing his throat awkwardly, Qin Xuan directly took off his jacket and draped it over the woman.
"Ah, thank you!"
"My name is Yun Ping, Yun from white cloud, Ping from duckweed."
After introducing herself, Yun Ping suddenly realized her current predicament.
She quickly lowered her voice and recounted her ordeal to Qin Xuan.
"This morning, just as I finished showering and was about to blow dry my hair, the door to my home was suddenly opened by a tall man wearing sunglasses."
"He not only threatened me with a handgun, demanding to temporarily borrow my rooftop."
"He also tied me up with my own stockings and locked me in!"
"If it weren't for the underfloor heating in my house, keeping the temperature from dropping too much, I might not have been able to hold on until now."
"However, I vaguely heard a series of hurried footsteps just now. If I'm not mistaken, that tall bad guy should still be in my house."
After listening to Yun Ping's account, Qin Xuan had a general idea of the attacker's location.
The only way from the kitchen to the hallway was the stairs.
He had searched upstairs thoroughly, so the attacker could only be hiding in some corner on the first floor.
Asking Yun Ping to stay in the kitchen for the moment, Qin Xuan went downstairs alone.
The layout of the living room was clear, with virtually no places to hide.
So, after coming down, he didn't linger, but moved inward, intending to check the wardrobes and under the beds in other rooms.
However, as he entered the hallway from the living room and was about to proceed further, a black handgun suddenly emerged from a nearby wardrobe.
Qin Xuan shifted his body backward, narrowly dodging the shot.
Then, he bent his right arm and smashed it fiercely into the wardrobe.
Crack!
The sturdy solid wood cabinet door was directly broken by his elbow, and along with it, the attacker's ribs were also broken.
"Damn it, how is his strength so great?!"
Roaring in anger, the attacker, enduring the pain, lunged out of the wardrobe.
Turning rapidly to aim at Qin Xuan again, he didn't even get a chance to fire blindly before Qin Xuan disarmed him.
"How about that?"
"Do you have any other tricks?"
Taking a step back, Qin Xuan pointed the muzzle directly at the attacker's head.
He asked mockingly a couple of times, then spoke again, "I know you have a sharp knife in your hand, but have you heard a saying?"
"Seven steps away, the gun is faster; seven steps within, the gun is both fast and accurate."
The attacker's movements froze.
Cold sweat beaded on his forehead.
The sharp knife at his side was his signature weapon.
It was small, exquisite, and incredibly sharp.
Whenever he encountered an insurmountable difficulty during a mission, he would feign defeat and then use the knife to carve out a path for himself.
But before he could even reveal the blade, he had already been completely seen through by the other party.
Did this mean there was no hope of a comeback?
"How did you know I had a knife?"
Slowly raising his hands, the attacker stared at Qin Xuan's face with unwillingness.
Qin Xuan smiled slightly and told the truth.
"Your clothes told me."
"They said they've hated that sharp knife for a long time."
"Because every time you use it, there's a risk of cutting your clothes."
"You're messing with me!"
The attacker naturally didn't believe such a preposterous reason.
He only thought Qin Xuan was insulting his intelligence.
"Think whatever you want."
Qin Xuan shrugged indifferently.
"Tell me, who sent you to kill me?"
"Dream on!"
"We have our rules in this line of work. Even if a killer dies, they cannot reveal their employer."
Heh, rules?
Qin Xuan chuckled.
If this killer had resisted with all his might when facing a gun, Qin Xuan might have held him in higher regard.
But after his cover was blown, the attacker had completely given up, his hands almost reaching the ceiling.
What did this signify?
Clearly, he didn't want to die!
If I can't handle tough guys like Qi Feiyang who would rather die than yield, how can I not handle a killer who fears death?
If that were the case, I might as well smash my head against a wall!
With a cold sneer, Qin Xuan issued a final warning to the killer.
"If you're sensible, I can spare you some pain."
"But if you remain stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Speak!"
"Who hired you!"
The warning and roar didn't make the attacker yield immediately.
On the contrary, the attacker lifted his face, displaying an air of defiance.
"Fine, you brought this upon yourself."
Qin Xuan turned off the safety on his phone and tucked it into his waist.
Then, with a forceful tug, he ripped off the attacker's clothes and the hidden blade within.
"One more chance, are you going to talk or not?"
The attacker remained silent.
Qin Xuan, with a blank expression, waved his hand, and a stream of azure light instantly enveloped him.
The attacker was greatly alarmed.
He was just an ordinary killer, how could he have witnessed something so fantastical?
But the comfort he felt on his body forced him to admit that this azure light was real!
"What are you doing?!"
As the pain on his body lessened, the attacker's fear began to grow infinitely.
Because at this moment, he seemed to have understood Qin Xuan's intention.
Tens of seconds later, the killer's broken ribs had completely healed.
Seeing that the time was right, Qin Xuan didn't give the attacker any time to prepare and threw another punch.
He still controlled the force of this punch.
He only broke the killer's ribs but did not damage too many internal organs.
"What am I doing?"
"Do you know what I'm doing now?"
His voice was cold, and Qin Xuan stared intently at the contorted face of the killer.
The killer, enduring the intense pain, cursed Qin Xuan incessantly.
"You have backbone. I hope you can keep it up."
Seeing that the opponent still showed no signs of wavering, Qin Xuan waved his hand again.
The wood and water attribute healing spells took effect on the killer simultaneously. Once his injuries were repaired, Qin Xuan found the right spot and delivered another fierce punch!
