The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot
Chapter 516 - 516 470 Ying Zijin Courting Death 1 Update

Chapter 516: 470 Ying Zijin: Courting Death [1 Update] Chapter 516: 470 Ying Zijin: Courting Death [1 Update] The wharf here is very spacious, with the farthest high-rise building a full 900 meters away.

And only from this angle could the shot have been fired, leaving only one place.

Ying Zijin’s eyes swept lightly, quickly determining the sniper’s location and the model of the equipment used.

GH34.

This equipment had been sold on the hidden section of the NOK forum, but it hadn’t been officially released to the outside world yet.

Its range is longer than that of the AS50, but it’s lighter and more powerful.

Destroying a large cruise ship would be a piece of cake for it.

Ying Zijin’s expression remained unchanged as she drew a small, delicate silver piece of equipment from her waist.

She had assembled it herself on that small island in the Pacific Ocean.

Later, Rita Bevin brought her plenty of new materials, and she reassembled it.

In some respects, her views were consistent with Yun Shan’s.

If equipment can solve the problem, why go to the trouble of using ancient martial arts?

Ying Zijin pulled the trigger, aiming in the direction the bullet was coming from. She too fired a shot.

The next second, there was a loud “bang”!

The impact of the two forces came together, shaking even the ground.

The sudden attack startled the assistant.

He slipped and almost fell but managed to protect the box in his hands.

Although these materials were not worth a fortune, they were biochemically active and could explode upon contact with an open flame.

Ying Zijin’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as she suddenly said, “Get down.”

Without thinking, the assistant immediately crouched down with his head in his hands.

The very moment he crouched—

A ‘whoosh’ of another attack passed right over his head.

The assistant could feel a wave of heat rush towards him, causing a severe burning sensation on his scalp.

If he had been a second slower, he would have been shot in the head.

The assistant was terrified.

Herwen held a unique status, and the O continent was chaotic.

Having followed Herwen for a long time, the assistant had encountered several attacks big and small and was almost accustomed to it.

But this time, he truly hadn’t expected it.

“On your six, by the coast, there’s a large rock,” said Ying Zijin in a calm tone. “Go there and don’t come out.”

The assistant immediately turned to look and sure enough, beside a fishing boat, there was a rock taller than a person.

He ran towards it without hesitation.

As he ran, the attacks continued.

“Bang!”

However, at such a distance, and with the fog and high humidity at night, this time the shot missed by quite a bit.

Footsteps were heard.

Ying Zijin turned and eyed the people getting off the truck, her gaze ice-cold.

This was a squad of mercenaries.

The Four Great Financial Groups of the O continent all cultivated plenty of such mercenaries for their convenience in handling many things.

The leader of the mercenaries glanced indifferently at the girl in the black hooded shirt, frowning as he clearly couldn’t see her face.

But he didn’t take her seriously.

There were thirty mercenaries in their squad, and all had joined the Hidden Alliance. They were hunters—could they not handle a single girl?

“Go,” the leading mercenary commanded, pointing towards the assistant. “Take the package he’s carrying and finish him off.”

However, before they could act on their plan, it was foiled.

They had barely taken a step when their shoulders were seized by a hand.

Then, they were thrown to the ground.

They were knocked out cold in an instant!

The mercenaries were in shock as they hadn’t even seen how the girl approached.

She had been fifty meters away, but now, not even three seconds had passed.

The girl’s speed in that moment had surpassed the Guinness World Record for 50 meters.

Only one thought was left in the leader’s mind—

Ancient martial artist!

Only an ancient martial artist could possess such speed!

They had provoked an ancient martial artist!

But it was too late to run now.

In just another instant, the second mercenary went down as well.

Ying Zijin held the leading mercenary by the throat with one hand.

Her words were fierce, yet her tone was flat and emotionless, without even a ripple, “Seeking death.”

The leading mercenary’s head buzzed, his head throbbed with blood, his face turned beet red, and he struggled to breathe.

The next second, he received an elbow strike to his chest.

“Crack!”

The leading mercenary’s vision suddenly went dark, and he directly passed out.

A few minutes later, a team of thirty mercenaries all lay on the ground, plunged into a deep coma.

From a higher vantage point, the sniper who organized this operation watched the scene unfold through his binoculars.

His expression changed in an instant, even bordering on panic, “Ancient martial arts! It’s an ancient martial artist! Retreat, retreat quickly!”

If it were an ordinary ancient martial artist, they could easily be taken care of.

The mercenaries trained by The Four Great Financial Groups of O Continent, with drugs and certain methods of enhancement, were capable of contending with ancient martial artists.

But they had seen it themselves, none of the thirty mercenaries had lasted five minutes under Ying Zijin’s hands.

A high-level ancient martial artist!

They initially thought that to handle Herwen’s assistant, they wouldn’t need to dispatch higher-level mercenaries.

The sniper was sweating profusely.

Indeed, the Taylor Family’s intelligence was correct.

Herwen had visited Hua Country and met an ancient martial artist, which is how he managed to be saved from the clutches of the criminals.

Without needing the sniper to say it, the others were already running.

“Thinking of leaving?”

Ying Zijin slightly raised her head but didn’t really seem to look, as if sensing the air.

Towards the distance, three consecutive shots.

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

The sea breeze swept over, all was silent.

Ying Zijin tightened her hoodie, her head bowed down, her features unclear, revealing only a section of her porcelain-white wrist and slender fingers.

Her fingers were covered in dust.

With the advancement of technology, indeed very useful.

“Let’s go, I’m right behind you,” Ying Zijin said indifferently, “We’ll meet up in the city in thirty minutes.”

Her assistant quickly left with stiff legs.

**

Nothing else happened on the way to the city.

The assistant breathed a sigh of relief and found a quiet bar.

Thirty minutes later, Ying Zijin arrived, her face still hidden, only her eyes showing.

“It must be Manuel and his group,” the assistant took a deep breath, “This guy, ever since the Taylor Family and the Pazzi Family both supported him, he’s become bolder and more unrestrained.”

If Herwen hadn’t promptly obtained an investment from the Lorentz Family with Ying Zijin’s help, Manuel’s people might have just bombed Herwen’s lab directly.

Moreover, they had always wanted to get their hands on Herwen’s research materials, having attempted to hack in more than once, albeit without success.

Since the Lorentz Family invested, there had been no significant movement from Manuel’s party, so they were waiting for them here.

Ying Zijin narrowed her eyes slightly, “It’s them, the mercenaries belong to the Taylor Family.”

“Miss Ying… ” the assistant stammered, “You… You know Chinese Kung Fu?”

Ying Zijin nodded, “You could say that.”

“So, so amazing,” the assistant grew excited, “I’ve seen movies where you all can leap onto roofs and vault over walls, walking on water without a trace, and possess unmatched qinggong. I never thought I’d see it for real!”

“When I get back, I’ll tell them that everyone in Hua Country knows Kung Fu!”

Ying Zijin, “…”

There’s really no need.

In front of The Four Great Financial Groups of O Continent, ancient martial arts were indeed no secret, though the assistant didn’t know that.

“Miss Ying, the materials,” the assistant remembered the most important matter, “For you, the professor insisted that I deliver the materials to you personally.”

Ying Zijin took the parcel, nodded slightly, “Thank you for the trouble.”

“Miss Ying, you should go,” the assistant wiped his sweat, still shaken, “The Lorentz Family has also provided us with mercenaries for protection, it’s just that by the professor’s side, I’ll make a call to have them pick me up.”

“There’s no need, someone will take care of it,” Ying Zijin glanced around, “It’s safe in the city; before the professionals arrive, don’t leave.”

The assistant nodded, ordered a drink to soothe his tense nerves.

Before he could finish his drink, personnel in uniform came in.

They were from the IBI.

IBI agents were stationed all around the world, and Santosa City being a port city, naturally had them too.

Especially after the explosion case in University Town of O Continent, the IBI had stepped up their security.

The agents naturally noticed the attack and had immediately dispatched people.

However, by the time they arrived, the situation was already resolved.

The victims, of course, they had to protect well.

One of the agents approached and even handed the assistant a blanket, “Sir, we’ll take you back.”

“Oh, oh,” the assistant wrapped himself in the blanket, thinking to himself that the IBI was indeed considerate, even taking care of these details.

Two agents escorted the assistant onto a plane.

Another team was still dealing with the aftermath at the port.

“Chief,” an agent came with surveillance footage from several points around the dock, “Should we delete these recordings?”

The chief took a glance, noticing something, then suddenly said, “Wait!”
