162: Chapter 162 Turned to Ashes

Shen Yaqi looked at her female assistant in disbelief.

"Xiao Wang... how could you..."

"You actually...!"

"For so many years, haven't I been good enough to you?"

"Why would you do something like this!"

Shen Yaqi was no fool; seeing the scene before her, she naturally understood what was going on.

The female assistant sneered and hid behind the group of kidnappers from Thailand.

"Shen Yaqi, you are too naive."

"You don't really think I was recruited by Xinghui Pharmaceuticals back then, do you?"

"Hmph, it doesn't matter if I tell you."

"Anyway, these mercenaries will kill you once they get the ransom."

"Consider this me satisfying your curiosity before you die!"

The female assistant's expression gradually became twisted.

"Not just me, but also those bodyguards who accompanied you here today."

"And this group of kidnappers."

"They were all arranged by Qin Zhenting."

"That's right, your fiancé."

"Heh, didn't expect that, did you? The person who says he loves you for a lifetime every day is actually the one who truly wants you dead."

"It was Qin Zhenting's idea to have me approach you three years ago."

"And you naively thought he fell in love with you for who you are."

"Utterly stupid!"

"From beginning to end, all he wanted was the assets of the Shen Family!"

"The only person he loves in his heart is me!"

"He promised me that as soon as he could take over the Shen Family business, he would find a way to transfer those assets into his name."

"Then he would use that money, which we could never spend in a lifetime, to live happily with me for the rest of our lives!"

"But I didn't expect you to refuse to let him get involved in company affairs."

"Shen Yaqi, I really don't know whether to call you smart or stupid."

"Perhaps you were trying to prevent the Shen Family assets from falling into the hands of an outsider."

"But you didn't expect that it was this very action of yours that made Qin Zhenting decide to take a risk!"

"Guess whether your father would be willing to trade the entire Xinghui Pharmaceuticals after he finds out you've been kidnapped?"

"He loves you so much, he definitely would, right!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Shen Yaqi, in the end, your Shen Family assets will still be handed over to someone else!"

The female assistant's laughter was almost hysterical.

Shen Yaqi looked at the female assistant she spent every day with, but at this moment, she felt like she was a complete stranger.

"Zhenting... Qin Zhenting..."

Shen Yaqi murmured this name.

This gentleman who appeared refined on the surface was actually a devil plotting to harm her behind her back!

"I'm sorry, I've implicated you..."

Shen Yaqi looked at Lin Yi, her face full of guilt.

Lin Yi had kindly come to warn her, but not only did she not believe him, she also caused him to follow her into the place where these kidnappers were lying in ambush.

It seemed likely that today would end in disaster...

Looking at the five kidnappers with guns in front of her, Shen Yaqi felt completely hopeless.

Lin Yi guarded against the kidnappers vigilantly, forced a smile, and glanced at Shen Yaqi.

"If you really feel sorry, treat me to a meal later."

Before Lin Yi could finish speaking, the leader of the kidnappers gave an order to his accomplices.

"Kill the man, knock the woman out and take her!"

With that, several of them raised their guns at Lin Yi.

"System, I want to use the Dragon Roar Blade trial voucher!"

"Ding, host's intention detected."

"Dragon Roar Blade trial voucher used."

"Dragon Roar Blade remaining usage time: 59 minutes and 59 seconds..."

As the system prompt sounded, a black light descended from the sky.

A pitch-black horizontal blade plunged straight into the ground in front of Lin Yi.

At this moment, a dense hail of bullets also shot rapidly toward Lin Yi.

Lin Yi raised the blade with the fastest speed.

The moment he raised the blade, Lin Yi inexplicably had an intuition.

A thought suddenly popped into his mind to use this blade to block the bullets.

As the bullets whistled toward him, Lin Yi grabbed the end of the handle, swung the blade, and spun it quickly in front of him a few times.

"Clang, clang."

The moment the bullets touched the blade, they instantly lost all their momentum and fell to the ground.

Lin Yi stared blankly at this horizontal blade.

It was too amazing!

He didn't feel even a hint of the bullets' impact.

It was as easy as swatting away a few mosquitoes.

The group of kidnappers was also stunned by this scene.

This scene, which was difficult to explain with science, made them unable to comprehend it.

But in the moment they were stunned, Lin Yi moved.

Holding the Dragon Roar Blade, Lin Yi felt all his potential had been developed to the maximum value.

His speed and reaction time were completely several times what they were before.

"So this is the true power of a level ten physical fitness level!"

Lin Yi leaped forward with a stride, swung the horizontal blade, and the blade fell as his hand moved.

With just one slash, the five kidnappers and the female assistant hiding behind them were decapitated.

"Ding, host detected to be out of danger."

"Dragon Roar Blade remaining usage time: 59 minutes and 43 seconds..."

"System, can the Dragon Roar Blade be temporarily retracted?"

Lin Yi was a bit reluctant to part with such a useful weapon.

"Ding, host's intention detected."

"Dragon Roar Blade has been temporarily sealed and retracted."

"Remaining usage time: 59 minutes and 42 seconds."

Lin Yi nodded with satisfaction.

In this way, he could just unlock it through the system next time he needed it.

With this divine artifact for self-defense, he would have an extra layer of protection when facing danger in the future!

Moreover, the bodies of those people killed by the Dragon Roar Blade gradually turned into wisps of flying ash.

Slowly dissipating into the air.

Leaving not a trace behind.

At this moment, Lin Yi turned around and realized that Shen Yaqi had been frightened into fainting at some point.

...

Lin Yi walked back to the bodyguards who had been knocked out and summoned the Dragon Roar Blade once again.

The blade swept across, and those people were also completely turned into flying ash.

Remaining usage time: 59 minutes and 40 seconds.

These people had fought with Lin Yi; if the police handled it, it would very likely bring trouble to Lin Yi.

If it involved the matter of the kidnappers, it would be even more troublesome.

If they weren't seen alive and their bodies weren't found dead, Lin Yi wouldn't be able to explain it clearly at all.

It was better to let them turn to ash.

Lin Yi didn't want his true strength to be known by the outside world.

If he were noticed by special departments, they might treat him as a freak and take him away for dissection and research.

As for these people, they could only blame their own bad luck.

After finishing all this, Lin Yi carried the unconscious Shen Yaqi on his back and arrived under the cliff.

He brought along Liang Yuexin, who had been waiting obediently, and walked out of the primeval forest.

After walking for more than an hour, they encountered people from Zuimeng Group who had come to search for him.

"President Lin, that's great, it's good that you're alright!"

"We were all worried to death!"

"Manager Wei said if she couldn't find you, she would cut down this whole forest!"

Lin Yi smiled and didn't tell them what had just happened.

He only had them notify Vice General Manager Wei Zhiru to temporarily seal off the primeval forest area and not allow anyone to enter.

Then, Lin Yi carried Shen Yaqi to a nearby medical clinic.

Waiting for Shen Yaqi to wake up.
