Chapter 21: Taking the Initiative

  Feeling this new memory, Lin Hui's heart was filled with joy and surprise. It really came at the right time.

  If Lin Hui had any worries before, he no longer has that kind of thinking now. Although the memories related to the killer have not been fully awakened, many things in his memory he still can't do yet, but it's enough to deal with these people.

  Lin Huike never thought he could handle the gun in his opponent's hand, but an assassin's goal is to kill the target, and they don't play by conventional rules. Lin Huike wouldn't be foolish enough to rush forward and let the opponent shoot him.

  Lin Hui's mouth corners involuntarily curled up into a slight arc.

  Just as Lin Hui was about to leave, a voice came over.

  "Old horse, where the hell have you gone to? You've been in the toilet for so long." A man with a mask on his face walked over casually.

  He must have gone to the restroom to look for that person from earlier.

  Lin Hui walked out very naturally and then beckoned to the person not far away to come over.

  "Old Horse, what are you hiding here for? At this time, you still dare to be lazy. If they see you, you're dead." The man seemed to have not noticed anything unusual and walked straight over as soon as he saw Lin Hui appear.

  Just as he walked up to Lin Hui's side, he said, "I feel like something is off about you..."

  Before the other party had finished speaking, Lin Hui's dagger was already at the other person's neck.

  "Shut up and don't make a sound," Lin Hui said coldly. "Honestly answer my questions, how many people are there in this layer? And where are they?"

  As soon as the voice came out, the other party knew that the person in front of him was not Old Ma at all. Feeling the cold blade, he had to compromise and say, "Not counting the one who went downstairs earlier, there are five people in total. Three in the room on the far side, two on this side, and Old Ma and I are on this side."

  "How many hostages are in this room?"

  "Five."

  Lin Hui thought for a moment and then asked, "Who is in the room at the very end?"

  "Big brother, I really don't know about this, all I know is that these two people have a big background."

  ...

  Within a minute, Lin Hui figured out the whole situation. What surprised him most was that these dozen or so people were not in cahoots with each other; only four of them had planned this event, while the others were hired by the opponent.

  The killer's memory awakened, Lin Hui felt much easier, after knocking the opponent unconscious and dragging him into the bathroom, Lin Hui naturally walked out.

  At this level, there were three people from the other side in the room at the far end. Lin Hui didn't hesitate and walked over directly. The person who went downstairs earlier would be back up soon, and judging from what that person said, his strength was much stronger than theirs.

  Just as he walked up to the door of the house, someone at the entrance spoke up and said, "What are you doing here?"

  Lin Hui said calmly, "Next, let me go and see if they have anything." As he spoke, Lin Hui's eyes glanced secretly at the situation inside. There were two people at the door, one person near the hostages.

  "They're good." Upon hearing Lin Hui say this, the person holding the gun also slightly relaxed their grip.

  At this moment, another person at the door stared at Lin Hui and suddenly said, "You are not one of us!" As he spoke, he had already raised the gun in his hand.

  As soon as this was said, Lin Hui's face changed slightly, and in an instant, two daggers appeared in Lin Hui's hands. Almost by instinct, one on the left and one on the right, the two daggers directly pierced the throats of the two people.

  Lin Hui's hand speed was extremely fast, completely an instinctive reaction, almost in an instant, one hit killed!

  Watching one blow kill two people, Lin Hui's face turned very unnatural. Although he had thought about the possibility of killing before, when it really came to this step, he still couldn't adapt.

  At this moment, Lin Hui's expression suddenly solidified, a coin quickly slipped out of his hand, and the target was that person not far away.

  "Bang!"

  The coin struck the wrist of the gun-wielding hand, and the gun in his hand fell with a clang.

  Before the other party could react, Lin Hui's fist was already in front of their eyes.

  "Bang!" The opponent's gun was gone from his hand, and with a sore wrist, he was knocked unconscious by Lin Hui in just a few moves.

  Looking at the three people on the ground, Lin Hui's back was already almost soaked with cold sweat. If he had acted a moment later just now, the other side would have opened fire, it can be said that he had just walked to the edge of death.

  Because of his own distraction, he almost lost his life.

  At this moment, the memories of his assassination skills that had not yet fully merged suddenly merged with his own, as if they were born with him.

  Gah... Lin Hui didn't think that things would turn out like this, and just accepted the fusion? To know that some memories, although awakened, still require a lot of time to practice and experience in order to fully become his own instincts, just like his hidden weapon skills, which also need a long time to practice.

  Was it because of the 'life and death' experience just now?

  Lin Hui didn't continue thinking about it, he didn't have time to think about this anyway. In any case, it was all beneficial and no harm to himself, and later on, he would be more confident in dealing with the other party.

  "Who are you?" Li Suya spoke up at this time, she didn't feel relieved by Lin Hui's appearance, but instead became more vigilant.

  "I? I'm just a passerby, even if I told you, you wouldn't recognize me." Lin Hui said, holding the dagger and walking towards Li Su Ya.

  Li Suya looked at the dagger in Lin Hui's hand and her expression changed suddenly. "What do you want to do?"

  Lin Hui smiled faintly, not caring about the other person's expression, and directly cut open the rope binding them. "Don't be tense, although you seem to have a big background, but I'm not interested in you."

  As Lin Hui turned to walk towards Zhao Zihuang on the other side, his eyes suddenly lit up the next moment. Previously, he hadn't taken a close look at this woman and didn't expect her to be so beautiful, beautiful to the point of being breathtaking.

  But why does this woman give people such a cold feeling, obviously giving people a sense of distance.

  Although he was shocked in his heart, Lin Hui, who wore a mask, did not show too much abnormality, and after glancing at her for a few times, he turned away his eyes. It's better to see less of this kind of woman.

  "Don't look at me like that, I'm not interested in you." Lin Hui suddenly found that Zhao Zixiang was still looking at him, with a hint of caution and suspicion on his face. "What kind of people are you, saving you and yet it seems like I owe you one." Lin Hui muttered somewhat displeasedly.

  After cutting the ropes on their hands and feet, Lin Hui picked up two guns from the ground and threw them in front of the two people. "You take them yourselves, whether you can use them or not is your business. I advise you not to wander around, there are still many people on the second floor."

  Lin Hui said, preparing to leave. He came just to deal with these three people, rescuing them was just incidental. Now that the rescue is done, he needs to think of a way to deal with the people below, Chen Yanxin is still in danger after all.

  "Wait, I was just being paranoid, I apologize to you." Li Suya said, opening her mouth with a hint of apology on her face. With this sudden change, she couldn't help but be suspicious, having lived for so many years and seen too many things.

  It was just this time, she suddenly felt that she was being overly cautious.

  "Apologies are unnecessary, saving you was just a coincidence." Lin Hui said calmly.

  Li Su Ya thought for a moment, then spoke up again, "You... can you stay?" Although guns were not unfamiliar to her, this time the other party had clearly come prepared. If no one protected them, they would easily be caught by the other party once more.

  She herself was in trouble, but he didn't want his daughter to be implicated together, and the other party obviously still wanted to use the mother-daughter duo to extort the Zhao family, which was what he didn't want to see.

  "Are big shots like you coming out without bodyguards?" Lin Hui said strangely, these two people are absolutely not ordinary people.

  "Two bodyguards have been killed." Li Suya said, a flash of pain crossing her face. The sneak attack had come too suddenly, the other side had solved his bodyguards first. "As long as you protect us two people safely out, I will give you satisfactory compensation."

  Lin Hui was taken aback, and then smiled, "Sounds tempting, but unfortunately I'm not interested. Your kind of big shot's thing is not something I dare to want."

  Saying that, he turned his head and said to Zhao Ziqing, "If you go out and turn your back on me, suspecting that I have some other purpose, I'll be too wronged, right?" Saying that, Lin Hui walked straight out.

  Listening to Lin Hui's words which were clearly laced with sarcasm, Zhao Zihong's face changed slightly.

  "Mom, was I a bit too much just now?" Zhao Zihuan said thoughtfully as she watched Lin Hui leave without looking back.

  Li Su Ya shook her head ambiguously, "Maybe, a very interesting person." A moment later the two people left this room, although they couldn't go downstairs, but also had to find a safe place.
