CHAPTER 201: CHAPTER 201: FEAR

Nearly twenty minutes passed in tense panic.

Just as Lin Xiaoyan was about to throw caution to the wind and decided to take a shower and go to sleep, the room door was suddenly knocked.

The heart that Lin Xiaoyan had just calmed immediately began to race again.

"Who’s there?"

However, there was no response from outside. Lin Xiaoyan walked to the door, prepared to open it, and asked again, "Who’s there?"

Still, no answer came from outside.

Lin Xiaoyan suddenly felt a bit scared. If it were He Qi’an, he would definitely answer. Now, with no response, either someone knocked on the wrong door.

She glanced at the room door, waited for a while, and no one continued knocking.

Suppressing the odd feeling in her heart, Lin Xiaoyan walked back.

As she prepared to take a shower, suddenly, there was a noise at the room door.

Lin Xiaoyan’s scalp tingled, and fear instantly filled her entire body.

She immediately called Xuan Shiwu, but the more anxious she became, the more unreachable the call was.

With no choice, she shakily called He Qi’an. Just as the call went through, the door was abruptly opened.

Lin Xiaoyan stared in horror at the doorway as several men with arrogant expressions walked in.

She noticed the tattoos on their bodies, her gaze darkened, and her heart pounded wildly.

She recognized those tattoos...

"Hello?"

"Who are you? What do you want?" Lin Xiaoyan held her phone tightly, feeling that the call seemed to connect, she immediately loudly questioned the people at the doorway.

He Qi’an had already reached the hotel entrance, just got out of the car, and his face changed when he heard Lin Xiaoyan’s voice.

"Which floor are you on?"

"Is it her?" asked a burly man.

A hotel staff member whispered, "Yes, I saw the police car just brought her back."

Lin Xiaoyan looked at the staff member, eyes wide open, she immediately picked up her phone and saw it was still connected.

"He Qi’an," Lin Xiaoyan’s voice trembled slightly.

"Which room are you in? I’m already here." He Qi’an had entered the elevator, calmly asking.

"508." Hearing He Qi’an was already at the hotel, Lin Xiaoyan’s fearful heart gained a slight sense of security.

"I’ll be right there, don’t be afraid!"

The next sound disappeared, possibly due to no signal in the elevator.

However, watching those people walk towards her, how could Lin Xiaoyan not be afraid!!!

"What do you want? Don’t come over, I’ve already called the police, they’ll be here soon!" Lin Xiaoyan bluffed fearfully.

The leading man laughed heartily when he heard Lin Xiaoyan say she called the police.

"Call the police? Someone needs to respond, right? Right now, there’s no one at the police station, they can’t come, so just come with us obediently."

Hearing the man’s words, Lin Xiaoyan was confused. What did he mean?

No one at the police station? Then where did they go?

Watching the approaching brutes, Lin Xiaoyan screamed for He Qi’an in her heart; wasn’t he here? Why hasn’t he come, help!!!

"I don’t know you, why are you grabbing me? I just... just arrived in Southern Province today, I don’t know you..." Lin Xiaoyan took step after step back. She walked to the side of a chair and quickly dragged it in front of her, preparing to use it in resistance.

The man at the entrance folded his arms, a mocking smile on his face, "Yeah, I don’t know you either, but you ruined our plans!"

"Stop talking, hurry up, grab the person and let’s go!" After the man instructed, he turned and left without even looking inside.

Lin Xiaoyan had already guessed these people might be here to grab her because of what happened tonight when she stopped Xu Na.

She never expected these people to be so blatant in their attempt to capture her!

And Shiwu, what has happened to her? Has she been caught as well?

He Qi’an, where are you? Why haven’t you come yet?

Lin Xiaoyan lifted the chair towards the people crowding her, taking a deep breath; she couldn’t let herself be taken away, or she’d be done for!!!

"Don’t come over..." Lin Xiaoyan raised the chair, her body already forced against the floor-to-ceiling window.

As she watched a person with blond hair come over, she gritted her teeth and directly threw the chair at him.

However, she overestimated her ability and underestimated the other’s strength.

The chair was caught directly by the blond-haired man and tossed aside.

"Little girl, don’t resist, or else..." Another person swung out a dagger.

Watching the sharp, cold glint of the dagger, Lin Xiaoyan felt tears welling up in despair.

"Hmph!"

The blond-haired man grabbed Lin Xiaoyan; she instinctively resisted, yet the other’s knife immediately thrust forward, leaving Lin Xiaoyan too scared to make any more moves.

At this moment, Lin Xiaoyan’s mind went blank; she dared not think further...

"Who are you?!"

Suddenly, there were sounds of a fight outside the door.

"Monkey, quickly!"

The few holding Lin Xiaoyan heard the noise outside, their faces changed, and they immediately ran out.

Lin Xiaoyan saw those people run outside, she immediately shakily picked up the phone, then quickly scanned the room, and ran into the bathroom, locking the door.

She crouched on the ground, holding the phone, sent a distress message in the Special Investigation Bureau’s group chat.

Lin Xiaoyan: "Help, I’m now at ** Hotel in Southern Province, I’m being blocked by local gangsters, they’re trying to grab me."

Lin Xiaoyan quickly sent the message, "They say, there’s no one at the police station, not sure what it means, what should I do? Who should I contact?"

Soon, someone saw Lin Xiaoyan’s message and replied in the group chat.

But there was no substantial help.

People in the group suggested calling the police.

Lin Xiaoyan called 110 several times with no one answering.

She had no choice but to believe what that person just said, perhaps there really was no one at the police station.

Someone else suggested calling the Ministry of National Defense, or the Special Investigation Bureau, as well as...

But, all the calls, all the methods, none could resolve Lin Xiaoyan’s current predicament.

The group was filled with replies from Xuanmen Group people to Lin Xiaoyan, not a single superpower user.

A superpower user saw Lin Xiaoyan’s distress call, but after seeing it, only snorted coldly.

They had investigated the newcomer Lin Xiaoyan!

In just a few months, she helped the police solve many cases and saved many people.

Yet, they harbored no envy, in their eyes, such a person was a fool!

First, she hadn’t applied for a bodyguard from the country or hired some herself to ensure her safety!

Second, she didn’t hide her ability, showing all her cards at once; if the country faced danger later, who else would they look for but her!

Third, it’s easy to die!

In situations like now, for them, finally having a superpower, one must cherish life!

They’re not from the Xuan Sect, they don’t have self-defense capabilities.

Sometimes, completing tasks and earning enough money to retire early and enjoy life is just great!

Most importantly, don’t play the good Samaritan every day, saving everyone! As if afraid others wouldn’t know you have a superpower and are capable! Hmph!

The above were the heartfelt opinions of all superpower users upon seeing Lin Xiaoyan’s distress message.
