As Dr. Price and Li Qianfan were chatting, the guards outside gradually relaxed their vigilance.
They had sharp eyes—
They could tell at a glance that this young couple were just ordinary, pitiable children (those infected by vampires are all pitiable).
There was no need to treat them like enemies!
Besides, even if they dared to cause trouble, the guns in their hands were not just for show.
And so.
By the time Li Qianfan came out of the restroom, the several guards stationed at the door had been reduced to two.
Where did the others go?
Who knew!
"They're about to make a move."
Seeing Li Qianfan emerge from the restroom, Dr. Price's heart began to pound.
He was truly afraid that the cruel white-bellied bird would finish him off without a word!
"Oh. You all sit for a while. I'll go get some equipment for the lab tests. When I get back, we'll start the preliminary examination right away."
Dr. Price made a swift decision, his expression unchanged as he stood up, speaking as he walked out with light steps.
In truth, he had worried too much.
Upon learning that he was merely a doctor hired at a high salary by the Rhode family, and not a core member, Li Qianfan had no intention of harming him.
Though the white-bellied bird was bloodthirsty and cruel, it would never kill innocent people indiscriminately!
It was precisely at the moment the white-bellied bird was about to unleash its wrath that Dr. Price managed to leave, which was perfectly in line with my wishes.
Li Qianfan and Yaoyao exchanged a look, nodding silently.
Feigning curiosity, they approached the door and asked the two guards, "Sir, may we go upstairs for a bit to relieve our nervousness?"
The two gentlemen, clad in protective suits—
Before they could react, Li Qianfan and Yaoyao simultaneously reached out and restrained their necks through the protective suits!
These two guards were indeed skilled.
They didn't understand what was happening until Li Qianfan and Yaoyao punched them unconscious.
After easily subduing the two guards, Li Qianfan seized their firearms. Yaoyao and he casually picked up the white lab coats from the wall and put them on.
"Let's go."
Li Qianfan said in a low voice, hiding the pistol in the sleeve of the lab coat, and he and Yaoyao quickly exited.
The camera in the corner faithfully recorded their actions, displaying them on the computer screen.
Dr. Price, trembling, hid behind this screen.
Watching Li Qianfan and Yaoyao rush towards the stairs, and confirming they wouldn't come looking for him, Dr. Price immediately took out his phone and rapidly called Jessica: "Madam, they've started their move!"
"Received. Take care of yourself."
Jessica, in the supreme ward of Rhode Hospital, said calmly and ended the call.
She looked at Emma, who was behind the door, and said, "Notify Billy and the others. It's time to act."
Billy—
Was the person Emma had assigned to tail Bai Ziyan, leading a team of five experts.
"Understood."
Emma nodded and picked up her phone: "Billy, execute the plan. Capture alive if possible, otherwise, eliminate them!"
"Received."
Billy, who had been waiting at the airport, replied curtly and opened the car door.
They had been hiding in a blue minivan.
After six people disembarked, they immediately crossed the roadside greenery and walked quickly towards the north.
There was a small park over there.
However, because the weather was very cold, there were very few people in the small park.
Or rather, there were only two people in the park.
One was a middle-aged woman in a black down jacket, carrying a small bag in one hand and holding a phone in the other, walking towards them from the north of the park.
And the other—
Was Bai Ziyan, sitting on a bench, engrossed in her tablet!
It was indeed very cold here.
Bai Ziyan had wished she could stay in the warm waiting hall.
But the constant flow of people in the waiting hall would not only distract her but also potentially expose her abnormality while she was remotely assisting Li Qianfan and the others.
She also feared that if something unexpected happened, she wouldn't have time to escape, so she didn't dare stay in a hotel near the airport.
Therefore, by dressing warmly enough and hiding in a deserted park, it was undoubtedly the best option.
Suddenly—
As Bai Ziyan was rapidly hacking into the defense system of Rhode Castle and helping Li Qianfan and Yaoyao check the situation inside, she caught sight of several men quickly appearing in her peripheral vision.
Entirely out of instinct, Bai Ziyan felt her heart pound violently.
She inwardly cried out, "Not good!"
But she didn't immediately stand up and run.
Firstly.
She still harbored a faint hope that these people weren't looking for her.
Secondly.
She knew very well that if she truly bolted, these people would likely open fire on her immediately!
If these people were indeed looking for her—
Bai Ziyan instantly made up her mind: "I will surrender obediently. As long as I am alive, Li Qianfan will be able to rescue me sooner or later."
It had to be said that Bai Ziyan's intelligence and her decision-making ability in the face of sudden accidents were both quite outstanding.
She glanced up at Billy and his men, then, as if nothing was amiss, lowered her head back to her tablet.
She held her collar with her left hand and whispered into her headset, "Bird, Yaoyao, I might be locked onto. I'm afraid of being shot dead, so I dare not run. If I'm captured alive, remember to save me."
"What?"
Through the headset, Li Qianfan and Du Yaoyao's surprised exclamations came in unison.
However, Bai Ziyan quickly cut off the call.
And in the same instant, she withdrew from the castle's security system intrusion.
The image on the tablet, with a slide of Bai Ziyan's right little finger across the screen, transformed into a movie.
She could be captured alive.
But absolutely no clue could be left behind for the enemy to follow, which might reveal who the white-bellied bird was.
Even if they killed her, she wouldn't say!
Despite Bai Ziyan being a cold-blooded silver-banded krait with no familial affection.
Even now.
She still only considered Li Qianfan as a fairly good friend (she could have any kind of relationship with Li Qianfan, but she would never consider him her beloved because of that relationship), but she was a person who kept her word.
Or rather.
Bai Ziyan was a proud person!
Her pride did not allow her to betray a comrade!!
Billy and his men, seeing Bai Ziyan's calm demeanor, felt a moment of surprise before understanding her thoughts.
Smiling coldly inwardly, the six men quickly walked up to her and surrounded her completely.
Billy, with a smile on his face, said in a gentle tone, "Madam, please accompany us."
Bai Ziyan then looked up, her face full of confusion as she studied them, and asked, "Who are you? Why should I accompany you?"
"White-bellied bird, stop pretending!"
Billy sneered, "We've been tailing you since you left the Hill Hotel!"
It's over.
After hearing what they said, Bai Ziyan's last shred of hope for denial vanished instantly.
"Go away."
A man suddenly shouted in a low voice.
Bai Ziyan instinctively turned to look, only to see the middle-aged woman, who had been on the phone, also approaching them, looking at them with curiosity.
"Who are you?"
The middle-aged woman put away her phone and questioned Billy and the others, "Why are you surrounding this lady?"
"Who we are is none of your business!"
The man who had shouted at her to leave raised his hand to push her, "I told you to go away, and—"
And what?
Before the man could finish his sentence!
The middle-aged woman, full of curiosity, suddenly raised her hand and delivered a heavy punch to his throat!!
Crack—
The sound of the man's throat bone being shattered by a single punch was piercing and terrifying.
Who—
Could have imagined that this "nosy" middle-aged woman would suddenly attack Billy's men with deadly force!?
Not only did Billy and his men instinctively freeze.
Even Bai Ziyan did!
But Shen Chongchong did not freeze—
After shattering the man's throat with one punch, she immediately lunged at the next target.
Again, with a punch, she heavily shattered the target's throat!
The speed, power, and accuracy of Shen Yun's movements were such that even Li Qianfan, witnessing it, would have his pupils contract sharply.
God of Slaughter!!
The sweet-faced, devilishly figure, gentle-tempered, fair-skinned, and "brother-calling" Shen Yun, Shen Chongchong, was the true God of Slaughter.
Billy finally understood.
He—
Very much wanted to shout, very much wanted to draw his gun, very much wanted to turn and run.
Unfortunately—
The outwardly naive and innocent Shen Chongchong gave him no opportunity to shout, draw his gun, or escape.
She merely delivered her most ruthless and cold-blooded punch for the sixth time.
Still with no surprises, it precisely hit Billy's throat!
The sixth time, a fatal blow!!
The wind was still blowing.
The sun was still hanging brightly in the sky.
Bai Ziyan was still in a daze.
But Billy and the other five who had been full of life just moments ago had turned into six corpses!
Shen Yun retracted her right fist, stretched her fingers, and looked back at Bai Ziyan: "Let's leave here first and go to the waiting hall. Don't worry, with me here, no one will harm you."
Bai Ziyan came to her senses—
And asked hoarsely, "Who... who are you?"
Shen Yun looked into her eyes and said earnestly, "I am the shadow of the white-bellied bird."
