The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot-Chapter 333 - : 322 Life and Death Rescue! Ying Yuexuan is not yet qualified [2 updates]
Chapter 333: 322 Life and Death Rescue! Ying Yuexuan is not yet qualified [2 updates]
“Bang!”
A gunshot rang out, and the bullet flew out in an instant.
The other three people watched the scene indifferently, showing no reaction whatsoever.
As if the life of a top international professor was no different to them than that of an ant.
But just then, suddenly—
“Whoosh!”
...
A small knife pierced through the nailed-shut window and flew in, slantingly, meeting the bullet with incredible precision.
“Clang!”
The bullet hit the blade of the knife, and the force of the impact caused the knife to become embedded in the opposite wall.
The young man’s casual expression changed instantly, “Who?!”
He had bought this gun on the NOK forum trading area as a new piece of equipment.
The bullet was fast and powerful.
It could penetrate not just diamonds, but even graphene crystals.
How could a knife so thin possibly stop his bullet?
No, that wasn’t the point.
The point was they had blocked all signals, so how could anyone know Herwen’s location?
At that moment, there was a “bang” as the tightly closed door was kicked open.
In just a brief three seconds, the elite squad of five people had already reached the unconscious Herwen, moving so fast that the young man couldn’t react.
It wasn’t until the ropes on Herwen were untied that the young man suddenly awoke, and his gaze turned sharp, “Mr. Meng De.”
As he uttered this, the middle-aged man who had kept his eyes closed the entire time now opened them and quickly fixed his gaze on the five members of the elite squad.
His voice was hoarse and deep, carrying a certain bewitching strength, “Stop.”
The movements of the five people indeed halted.
The young man let out a slight sigh of relief.
It was good that he had hired a hypnotist, otherwise he might have left empty-handed today.
The young man couldn’t care less about where these five people had come from as he instructed, “Mr. Meng De, please take care of it.”
Meng De nodded, and as he was about to do something, he saw the five people looking at him as if he were a fool.
A sense of dread filled his heart as he instantly realized something was wrong.
But it was already too late.
The captain stepped forward, swiftly taking control of Meng De with the force of a thunderbolt, “Hypnotist?”
Hypnotists have a significant weakness—they are physically weak.
Once the hypnosis is broken and they are approached closely, even a novice assassin could take them down.
“What rank are you on the hypnotist leaderboard, hmm?” The captain smiled. “Are you in the top twenty? You think you can hypnotize us? You can’t even break through my inner strength, who are you trying to hypnotize?”
The words “hypnotist leaderboard” struck like thunder.
Only members of the Hidden Alliance knew about the existence of such rankings.
The young man’s expression turned completely, showing not just wariness but fear, “You… are ancient martial artists?!”
Ancient martial artists—hadn’t they disappeared long ago?
Those who mingled on the NOK forum, of course, knew about the existence of ancient martial arts.
Ancient martial arts were magical, with skills to leap onto roofs and vault over walls and use hidden weapons and acupoint striking.
But ancient martial arts existed only in Hua Country.
Therefore, no one dared to infringe upon them.
But after the twenty-first century, all ancient martial families retreated, and ancient martial artists vanished from the public eye in an instant.
No one knew why.
Ancient martial arts had become something only seen in TV shows.
But now, there were five real ancient martial artists here!
“Your Excellency.” The young man, who had learned some of Hua Country’s culture, immediately changed his approach. “May I ask who brought you here; I can offer ten times the price.”
It didn’t matter that there were five ancient martial artists here today—none of them would be able to leave.
But Herwen knew only a few professors in Hua Country; how could there be ancient martial artists coming to his rescue?!
“No need.” The captain’s expression was indifferent. He turned his head and ordered the four squad members, “Wrap it up quickly.”
When ancient martial artists made a move, it hardly required any effort at all.
Everyone, including the young man and Meng De, was taken care of.
“Miss Ying.” The captain kicked the unconscious young man, “We have taken the person, do you need anything else?”
Unlike other teams, the two elite squads were responsible not only to Nie Yi but also had to liaise with IBI.
Kidnapping an international-level top professor is not a simple abduction case; it must be reported to the IBI.
“I don’t need anything else,” Ying Zijin said on the phone, “Just find out who they are and let me know.”
The captain nodded, “Alright, then we’ll take our leave now, Miss Ying, if you need anything, please feel free to instruct.”
He hung up the phone, “Let’s go, team, move out.”

After the elite squad took those four people away, they informed the Shanghai Police to go in and bring Herwen out.
Herwen was still unconscious, but fortunately, he had no other injuries.
The tension Pei Tianyi had been carrying also finally eased.
This kidnapping had also been reported to Herwen’s laboratory.
The Taylor Family might not value Herwen, but that doesn’t mean others don’t. Therefore, professionals had already been dispatched from the O continent.

Now it seemed they were no longer needed.
“Officer,” Pei Tianyi, not seeing those five members of the elite squad, couldn’t help but ask again, “Who exactly are they?”
The officer still shook his head, did not inform him, and also left the scene.
Pei Tianyi didn’t get any information and was holding back his frustration.
While calling the lab’s people, he carefully helped Herwen into the car.
Ying Zijin and Zuo Li followed along and took Herwen back to the hotel.
“It’s all good, all good,” Zuo Li came out of the room, wiping sweat from his brow, “Our place here is safe and efficient. Right, Classmate Ying?”
“Mhm,” Ying Zijin glanced at the top of his head and pondered, “Professor Zuo, I have something else to take care of. I need to go first.”
“Go ahead, go ahead,” Zuo Li waved his hand, cheering her on, “Classmate Ying, you must study hard and contribute to our nation!”
There were too few talents these days, and the trend toward an aging populace was becoming more serious.
Every year, many academicians pass away, urgently needing fresh blood to replenish them.
He had high hopes for Ying Zijin; perhaps she would make a groundbreaking invention in the future, and he could ride on her coattails.
Hearing this, Ying Zijin paused in her step, turned her head, and without expression said, “You’ve run out of your hair growth shampoo.”
Zuo Li: “???”

Inside the hotel room.
After calling a doctor to check on Herwen and confirming he was alright, Pei Tianyi was completely relieved.
At this moment, his mobile phone rang. Pei Tianyi looked at the caller ID.
It was Ying Yuexuan.
He hesitated for a moment but still went out to answer the call.
“Senior brother, you hurried off at noon. What happened?” Ying Yuexuan asked, “Is the matter resolved? Is there anything I can help with?”
“It’s been resolved, don’t worry,” Pei Tianyi pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to soften his tone, “Yuexuan, you’ve helped us with this research investigation. I plan to put your name forward, and you should be able to receive some prize money.”
The prize money wasn’t important. What mattered was making a name for oneself with the professors.
This way, Ying Yuexuan’s entry into the academic world would be much smoother.
Ying Yuexuan was pleasantly surprised but also reluctant, “Are you going back to the O continent, senior brother?”
“Yes, I must go back,” said Pei Tianyi, massaging his temples, “When you come to the O continent next year for the international competition, we can meet again. I’ll be waiting to see you win a good ranking.”
The kidnapping of Herwen was certainly no accident, and there would be more danger in the future.
Pei Tianyi even suspected there was a mole in the laboratory.
“I will,” said Ying Yuexuan, “I will still need your help a lot then.”
“Mmm—” Pei Tianyi was silent for a long time before finally speaking up, “Yuexuan, your sister, Ying Zijin, she…”
“Senior brother,” Ying Yuexuan interrupted him for the first time, “I don’t want to discuss her with you. You know, we don’t have a good relationship.”
Most importantly, she did not wish for people around her to turn their attention to Ying Zijin again.
Pei Tianyi paused and didn’t continue, “Okay, I respect your wishes.”
He didn’t bring up the matter of the NOK forum with Ying Yuexuan.
He admired Ying Yuexuan, yes, but he also knew what was important.
Given Ying Yuexuan’s abilities and status, she wasn’t qualified to know about the existence of the NOK forum.
After ending the call, Pei Tianyi went to double-check Herwen’s safety before returning to his own room.
He thought for a moment, opened his laptop, and downloaded a computer version of the Shark Live Broadcasting Platform.
After hearing from Ying Yuexuan that the number one in the global overall rankings was a streamer, Pei Tianyi had been curious to watch.
He had been too busy these days, and after going through a kidnapping case today, he hadn’t had a chance to relax. Now, he finally had a moment to spare.
He opened the Shark Live Broadcasting software he had downloaded and entered the live broadcasting room number Ying Yuexuan had given him.
