Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 639 - 637: Perilous Struggle

The small villa was frighteningly quiet. Lin Wanwan held a sword and opened the door slightly, looking at the hallway outside, but she couldn’t see anyone in the darkness.

Suddenly, a very unpleasant feeling of foreboding emerged in Lin Wanwan’s mind. This intruder felt more oppressive than the previous one who broke into her home.

Lin Wanwan was quite resigned. Her small villa had been vacant for so long without issues, but now, just a few months after returning home to sleep, a burglar decided to pay a visit.

Could it be that they were after the person and not the belongings?

The thought of this possibility made Lin Wanwan grip the sword hilt tightly. She quietly retreated back to the bedside to grab her phone, pondering whether to call the police first.

Of course, if safety was a concern, Lin Wanwan could let the burglar come in to steal, and she could first escape to the Tang Dynasty since the saying goes, the person of value does not sit under a shaky beam!

But there were two problems with crossing time hastily: first, her home would definitely be ravaged by the burglar, and second, the last time she returned from the Tang Dynasty to the modern era was in an Ancient City, and now if she went back to the Tang Dynasty, with the distance exceeding 50 kilometers, the Space-Time Gate would refresh arbitrarily, and she wouldn’t know what situation she might encounter.

She didn’t have much time to hesitate; a "click" at the door handle sounded from outside, and the door on the second-floor terrace was opened.

Lin Wanwan peeked through the doorway and saw a man in black walk in at the end of the hallway.

As he looked around, Lin Wanwan quickly closed the door and promptly dialed the police on her phone.

The intruder had a gun!

How could she fight? 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Of course, she needed to call the police for protection!

In modern Huaxia, where gun control was enforced, encountering a burglar with a gun was a rare sight for Lin Wanwan!

She cursed a plant in her mind, questioning her luck to encounter such a burglar.

However, her movements immediately caught the intruder, Old Ghost’s attention. Upon being discovered, he no longer bothered to conceal himself and charged straight towards her.

To him, Lin Wanwan was the prime target before he fled for his life, so he didn’t need to show courtesy or hide.

The man with the gun was full of courage.

The hallway was short, and at the moment Lin Wanwan closed the door, a large boot kicked it.

"Boom!"

"Open the door! Or I’ll shoot you dead!" a rough male voice sounded outside, followed by a strong kick to the door, causing the redwood door to shake.

Lin Wanwan calmly stood by the door with her sword, ready to strike, as the emergency phone line connected.

Over the receiver, the reassuring voice of the dispatch lady announced herself.

But before Lin Wanwan could report her situation, within less than a second, the door lock suddenly clicked, and the door was kicked open.

The intruder came too prepared; he had a master key.

Lin Wanwan’s ordinary lock was no match for the master key and was rendered useless.

Having no time for calls, Lin Wanwan, who was already prepared, instinctively thrust her sword towards the intruder.

Old Ghost’s reaction wasn’t slow either. He swiftly shrunk his body, narrowly avoiding the sword tip, proving more formidable than the last two burglars.

However, completely avoiding it wasn’t easy. Lin Wanwan shook her wrist, making the sword tip seem alive, aiming straight for Old Ghost’s heart.

Having already dodged once, Old Ghost had no space to evade again. In desperation, he blocked with his left hand, while raising his right hand to shoot.

At such a life-or-death moment, one couldn’t afford other considerations. Killing the person might be chaotic, but they could find the prize in the house themselves.

Of course, capturing the person directly for interrogation would be more efficient, but at the critical moment, Old Ghost had no time to think much, prioritizing survival—this internet celebrity was much more formidable than he anticipated.

"Ah!"

"Ding!"

The two sounds echoed simultaneously. Old Ghost’s bullet was aimed at Lin Wanwan’s body. In that instant, Lin Wanwan’s reaction speed was astonishing, as she rolled on the spot to avoid it.

Though the bullet didn’t hit Lin Wanwan’s body, it grazed her wrist, just so happening to scratch the Space-Time Bracelet.

A small piece of the bracelet broke off, hitting the ground with a crisp sound.

Old Ghost felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down to see a sword impaled deep, leaving him feeling icy cold.

He felt his soul departing, experiencing hallucinations as Lin Wanwan’s body twisted in his vision.

"Wanwan!"

Lu Shouyue abruptly appeared at the doorway.

As he arrived, an obstacle downstairs by veteran Pang hindered him. Anxious with worry, Lu Shouyue didn’t engage Pang much and struck hard.

Fortunately, the bodyguard reacted quickly, immediately engaging in a tussle with veteran Pang.

Once freed, Lu Shouyue didn’t delay, quickly climbing along the wall to the terrace, heading towards Lin Wanwan’s room.

However, he was ultimately a step too late. In the few minutes before he arrived, the people in the villa had already decided life and death.

The Space-Time Bracelet shattered, and the Space-Time Gate distorted, sucking Lin Wanwan into the spatial chaos.

Lu Shouyue only saw Lin Wanwan being swallowed by a glowing, twisted void. He didn’t hesitate to rush forward to save her, but was forcefully repelled, throwing him against the wall.

Ignoring the pain, he quickly stood up, but Lin Wanwan’s figure was nowhere to be seen!

"Wanwan!!!" Lu Shouyue cried out in agony, the worry for Lin Wanwan’s safety gnawing at his heart.

He deeply regretted not informing Lin Wanwan earlier about the danger stalking her, so she could be prepared.

He only wanted to preserve her peace and happiness, overshooting his confidence, and inadvertently plunging Lin Wanwan into such grave danger.

At that moment, profound regret overwhelmed him, but it was futile; Lin Wanwan was gone.

He witnessed Lin Wanwan’s secret of time travel, but couldn’t feel any joy.

The light in the room was turned on by the pursuing bodyguard Ahao.

The tomb robber accomplice downstairs—killer Pang, had been subdued by two bodyguards jointly. One tied his hands with a necktie, watched him with his foot on Pang’s face, while the other quickly followed Lu Shouyue upstairs.

"Boss, are you alright?" Ahao asked with concern.

Just now, Lu Shouyue climbed so swiftly that even as a bodyguard, Ahao didn’t catch up, which was embarrassing.

Coupled with the lookout downstairs possessing strong close combat skills, Ahao had to assist his comrade first.

Chasing Lu Shouyue up later, he missed the live action scene, tarnishing his reputation, not worthy of the high salary from the Lu family every month.

But they weren’t to blame because everything happened too quickly, catching everyone off guard.

"No problem."

Lu Shouyue forced himself to stay calm; panic couldn’t solve anything.

At this moment, he could only console himself, believing Lin Wanwan fled to another time and space, surely still safe!

His foremost task now was to clean up the mess, preventing anyone from suspecting anything unusual.
