Chapter 88: Midnight Assassin (Part 1)

  The next day, Yan Qingqing personally drove the car with Lin Xiao to send his grandparents on a plane bound for Australia. The plane was a private plane within the Yan family, reliable and safe, and would not leave any records.

  It is said that Qingqing's father has people in Australia to take care of their family business, and Lin Xiao's grandparents have also gone there with someone to take care of them. Their identities have all been properly arranged, and the routes they took were extremely secretive, ensuring that the Demon Gate people couldn't find out.

  In order to get his grandparents to agree to go abroad for a while, Lin Xiao told a huge lie and finally managed to persuade the elderly couple.

  After doing all this, Lin Xiao can be said to have nothing to worry about. Now even if the people from Mo Men come to his doorstep, Lin Xiao doesn't need to worry anymore.

  In the car, Lin Xiao Man looked aimlessly at the scenery outside the window.

  Qing Qing's hands grasped the steering wheel tightly, her eyes stealing a glance at Lin Xiao in the passenger seat.

  "Is this guy always so gloomy?" Xing Qingqing thought to herself.

  She had no idea that Lin Xiao was now fully focused on practicing his mental power, last night's battle made him realize how weak he still was and not enough to face the impending crisis, if he didn't work hard at this time, he would die without knowing what hit him.

  After hesitating for a moment, Yan Qingqing finally spoke up: "Lin Ge, look at the sky, it's getting late. Why don't we find a restaurant and have dinner together?"

  "Shall we have dinner?" Lin Xiao came back to his senses, looked out the window at the somewhat gloomy sky and nodded slightly.

  "Alright, you decide."

  Upon hearing this, Qing's face flashed with a hint of joy, "I know there's a very good French restaurant at home, Brother Lin, do you like French food?"

  "The red wine braised beef is not bad, and the Normandy seafood stew is also pretty good." Lin Xiao recalled his last time in the Superpower Out of Control world when he stayed in France for a while, and he still liked the food there.

  However, there are some dishes that he can't accept, such as Bergen's roasted snails. No matter how the taste is, Lin Xiao is not willing to try it.

  "That's great, let's go to that French restaurant!"

  The car turned a corner, changed direction and drove back, twenty minutes later, the car stopped in the parking lot.

  This French restaurant is quite good, the facade decoration is very warm and cozy, enough to attract the attention of passersby, of course, the most important thing is whether the dishes are delicious or not.

  Xian Qingqing obviously wasn't here for the first time, familiar with the place, she led Lin Xiao in, and the experienced waiter quickly noticed them and immediately found an empty table for the two.

  "Please!" Lin Xiao helped Qing Qing pull out a chair.

  Qing sat down with a surprised and delighted expression on her face.

  "Thank you."

  Lin Xiao smiled and sat down across from Yan Qingqing. At this time, the waiter also handed over two menus.

  "A red wine stewed beef, a Normandy stewed seafood, and open another bottle of 1986 Lafite." Lin Xiao finished ordering and handed the menu to the waiter, then turned his head to look at Yan Qingqing.

  "An order of Poulet Fricassee and an order of Bouillabaisse."

  "Wait for two people!"

  The waiter took the menu and left. Lin Xiao and Yan Qingqing sat facing each other, but for a moment they couldn't find anything to talk about.

  Before long, the red wine arrived, and the waiter helped to open it, poured a cup for Lin Xiao and Yan Qingqing, and then put it on the table and left. Chen Nian's red wine is generally best after waking up the wine, but Lin Xiao doesn't have such a fuss.

  "Lin Ge, have you studied red wine?" Qing Qing suddenly asked, picking up her glass of red wine.

  Lin Xiao heard this and couldn't help but laugh and shake his head, "It's not that, I just happened to be abroad for a while recently, and was influenced by the local customs."

  Qing Qing smiled and said, "Cheers."

  "Cheers."

  She took a small sip, and the bitter and sweet flavors lingered in her mouth.

  Qing Qing kept staring at Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao felt it but pretended he didn't see.

  They spent almost two hours eating, mostly Xian Qingqing talking and Lin Xiao listening. With so many people around, it wasn't convenient to discuss matters of the martial world, so they mainly chatted about school and cultural customs from various countries around the world.

  Lin Xiao has also been to many countries and has carefully browsed through each one. If he's most familiar with anything, it would naturally be gold jewelry and antiques. When talking about these topics, Lin Xiao will have more to say.

  There are hardly any women who don't like jewelry, so Qingqing is also quite interested in this topic.

  After two hours, the two of them had become quite familiar with each other. When it was time to leave, Lin Xiao insisted that Yan Qingqing not pay the bill, saying that when a man and woman eat together, the woman should never be allowed to pay.

  Lin Xiao had nothing else but money, tens of billions of US dollars just lying there without knowing how to spend it.

  She had drunk almost half a bottle of red wine, but as a second-grade first-class martial artist, she wouldn't get drunk so easily. However, her face was slightly flushed, making her look even more radiant and charming.

  On the short road back to the parking lot, both pedestrians and vehicles couldn't help but slow down. Lin Xiao could clearly feel the piercing gazes directed at him, most of which were filled with murderous intent, while those directed at Yan Qingqing were mostly dazed and infatuated stares.

  "Look, you've gained another group of fans." Lin Xiao said with a smile, jokingly.

  Yan Qingqing, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but glare at him with annoyance, "I don't need it, how annoying."

  "If they heard you say that, I don't know how heartbroken they would be." Lin Xiao smiled and swept his gaze over those men with pig-like faces. If it weren't for the moral and legal bottom line constraining them in their hearts, they probably would have pounced on him by now.

  "You're here, you drive." Qingqing threw the keys to Xiao and sat in the passenger seat.

  Lin Xiao smiled and shrugged his shoulders, opened the car door and walked in.

  As soon as she sat down, even before she had a chance to light up, Qingqing's body emitted a piercing alarm sound.

  Her face changed, and she immediately pulled out a black thing about the size of a car key from her pocket. A red light on it was flashing constantly, and below that, a small screen displayed a string of characters jumping with blue light.

  "Something's wrong, a fellow student has been attacked. I have to hurry over and help!" Qingqing turned her head and said to Lin Xiao.

  "I'll go with you," Lin Xiao said, starting the car and shifting into reverse. He floored it and spun the wheel, peeling out of the parking space.

  "It must be those from the Demon Gate, I wonder who it is this time?" Qingqing's face was extremely solemn. If there wasn't a need to, fellow disciples would never press the distress signal, they must have encountered a powerful enemy to do so.

  "Where?" Lin Xiao had already driven out of the parking lot.

  "A forest south of Dongling Square." Qingqing replied hastily.

  Lin Xiao stepped on the accelerator, and the speed of the car soared to 100 in just a few seconds, still rising continuously, like a roaring beast rushing towards Dongling Square.
