System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

It was as if the short, thin man in front of me was not human, but a demon.

"Damn, I never expected something like this to happen on the day of shipment!"

The short, thin man coldly uttered a sentence in Southeast Asian language before dragging Wang Wenjing into the house. He held a gun and hid in the darkness of a corner of the room, thinking that if the enemy dared to enter the house, he would be 100% certain of killing him with one shot!

"Everyone says Long Xia's 749th round is incredibly powerful. I'd like to see if your skills are better, or if my homemade 7.62 revolver is more impressive."

At the same time, the screams of his underlings came from outside again.

Hearing the commotion, the short, thin man immediately hid in the shadows of the room, shielding Wang Wenjing in front of him.

After easily dealing with two groups of underlings, Chen Xuan strolled into the deepest part of the factory.

By calculating cause and effect, Chen Xuan knew that Wang Wenjing was in this room.

So he strolled over there.

Anyone would know there was an ambush in the house, and anyone would hesitate, but Yin Shen Chen Xuan was not human and naturally was not afraid of so-called physical attacks.

Chen Xuan pushed open the door and entered without hesitation.

It was this action that caught the short, thin man who had been lying in ambush off Chen Xuan off guard after he entered the house. According to his expectations, the door should have been pushed open, and something should have entered first to attract his attention before he rushed in.

But I never expected that the intruder would be so direct, without even bothering to cover it up.

However, having lived a life of constant danger, the short, thin man reacted instantly and, without hesitation, raised his hand and fired a shot at the figure at the door.

The small room was filled with the piercing sound of gunfire.

This was accompanied by the screams of the abducted women.

Just when everyone thought the newcomer had been killed on the spot.

The figure at the door paused only briefly before rushing in.

"Holy crap, is this a ghost?!"

The short, thin man was startled by this bizarre scene. Most people would have been stunned by such a sudden turn of events, but he reacted immediately and grabbed Wang Wenjing's neck, completely blocking his small body.

"Stop right there! Don't move, or I'll kill her!!"

Although the man's Chinese was broken, everyone present could understand him.

Sure enough, as soon as the shout fell, the short, thin man saw the figure stop moving, so he turned on the room lights.

Since the sneak attack failed, turning on the lights would be a better way to coerce the person into giving up, or even find an opportunity to counterattack.

The moment the room lights were turned on, Wang Wenjing's previously despairing eyes instantly brightened.

Her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief that this benefactor who had risked his life alone, even facing the threat of a gun, was actually the Daoist Chen Xuan, whom she had longed to see from afar.

"Uh-huh--"

"You really know each other?"

Seeing Wang Wenjing's agitation after the lights were turned on, the short, thin man immediately understood what was going on. He stared intently at the fair-skinned, extremely young Chen Xuan and began to use his cunning, "Since you came for her, let's each take a step back."

Upon hearing this, Yin Shen Chen Xuan smiled calmly, "Oh? Let's each take a step back?"

When Wang Wenjing heard Chen Xuan's voice clearly, she was so moved that she burst into tears. It really was Chen Xuan. Was she dreaming?

“That’s right, let’s each take a step back.” The short, thin man stared at Chen Xuan and said, “I’ll let you leave, but you have to swear that you won’t expose what happened here. Let’s each leave some room for maneuver.”

The short, thin man said this because he was completely shocked by what he had just witnessed.

If the figure wasn't human when the light was turned on, and he was facing the person directly, he would have fired without hesitation, especially if there were hostages present.

To his utter surprise, when the light was turned on, it turned out to be a real person, a living person.

But how could he be shot and not be injured at all?
