Summer shook the rope, and it rushed toward the sniper who was falling, wrapping around his body. Then Summer pulled hard, lifting the suicidal sniper up, who landed heavily on the rooftop.

"I haven't told you to die yet, why are you in such a hurry" Summer looked at the sniper with displeasure. "Tell me, what did you mean by that last sentence Are there other killers besides you"

"What do you think" The sniper's face actually had a smile on it. "Do you really believe we would only send one person after so many failures"

"Apart from you, how many others are there" Summer asked.

"Although I wish I could tell you, unfortunately, I don't know either. My job is to be a sniper; everything else I'm clueless about." The sniper's face still had a smile on it, seemingly indifferent to the impending fate awaiting him.

While Summer was considering whether to use another round of acupuncture to force answers from him, an enormous explosion suddenly echoed: "Boom!"

The explosion came from Qiao Brothers Tower. Summer's face turned grim as a bad feeling welled up inside him, but the sniper on the ground burst into laughter then and there: "Hahaha! I told you that you couldn't win! Even if you kill me, you can't save Little Qiao. Hahaha..."

The sniper was laughing joyfully, yet Summer wasn't happy at all. He suddenly took out a few silver needles and stabbed the sniper with them: "You like to laugh, huh I'll make sure that your laughter ends when you die!"

"Hahaha...

The sniper continued to laugh, but his laughter was now tinged with pain. He could no longer control it; he laughed involuntarily, just like in the legends when someone gets hit by a laughing point.

Xia Tian paid no more attention to the sniper and grabbed onto a rope, jumping off the building directly. He landed quickly and then sprinted towards the Qiao Building, praying that Xiaoqiao would be alright; otherwise, even if he killed every member of the Shadow Group, it wouldn’t matter.

The Qiao Building was now in chaos. Almost everyone had evacuated from the building earlier, leaving only a few special police officers searching for bombs inside. When Xiaoqiao encountered an attack by the sniper, she retreated back into the building, followed by some bodyguards. At this moment, one of the special police suddenly lunged at Xiaoqiao. Although Qiao Feng’er and Qiao Huang’er reacted simultaneously and kicked him away, the bomb he was carrying detonated.

Qiao Feng’er and Qiao Huang’er’s diligent practice for over a month on their ethereal steps finally proved effective. In that moment of explosion, the two managed to carry Xiaoqiao more than ten meters away before quickly lying down and pinning her underneath them.

The blast ended, leaving Qiao Feng’er and Qiao Huang’er shaken but unharmed. The same was true for Xiaoqiao who had been pinned under them.

The special police officer carrying the bomb died instantly, while some of the bodyguards nearby were not so fortunate; two died on the spot, several more were seriously injured, and another special police officer sustained severe injuries from the shockwave. Clearly, this bomb was quite powerful.

Xia Tian rushed in like a typhoon, running to Xiaoqiao’s side: "Honey, are you alright"

"Husband, I'm fine." Although Xiaoqiao had been through many situations before, she was still pale-faced and clearly terrified.

Xia Tian wasn’t entirely relieved until he carefully checked her from head to toe. Confirming that she was unharmed made him finally relax.

"Little rascal, I have something important!" A pitiful voice suddenly sounded.

Summer turned around to see Liu Meng sitting on the ground with a streak of bright red at the corner of her mouth. He was instantly filled with concern and rushed over, holding her hand as he infused ice-fire spirit energy into her body for an inspection. His heart calmed down slightly when he found out that Liu Meng's injuries weren't too severe.

Summer sat on the ground, cradling Liu Meng horizontally on his lap, then took out acupuncture needles to start treating her.

"Brother, are you okay" Qiao Xiaoqiao noticed at this moment that Qiao Donghai was lying far away on the ground and walked over with concern in her voice.

"I'm fine." Qiao Donghai struggled to get up from the ground, shaking his head as he glanced at Liu Meng who was being held by Summer: "Fortunately, Liu Meng suddenly grabbed me and threw me over. But her strength is just too great; I got quite a tumble and almost broke my hand."

"Sis Meng does have incredible strength," Qiao Xiaoqiao knew this well enough. Looking at the bodyguard groaning in pain not far away, she suddenly felt an uncomfortable feeling rise up inside her heart. Who was it that wanted to kill her Even if they were after her alone, why did they need to use such a method and bring so many others into danger

"Strange, we're fine but those people are farther from the explosion than us. Why did they get injured" Qiao Feng'er pointed at the bodyguards lying on the ground in another direction, puzzled.

Qiao Huang'er also found this odd, though now wasn't the time to investigate such questions.

"Sis Meng, how do you feel now" Summer had already put away his acupuncture needles; it seemed that treatment was over.

"Oh, it's fine. I just felt a lot of pain!" Liu Meng sat up from Xia Tian’s embrace.

Xia Tian still found it strange: "Ms. Meng, how did you get injured With your current abilities, shouldn’t you have been able to avoid it"

"I saw that idiot wasn’t moving and just threw him aside!" Liu Meng pointed at Qiao Donghai and continued saying: "Then I felt a strong force coming towards me. I couldn’t help but use my true energy to block it, which is why I got injured."

“No wonder Xiao Qiao didn't get hurt—she was protected by you!” Xia Tian finally understood, realizing that the reason why Qiao Feng’er and Qiao Huang’er were fine wasn’t their good luck but Liu Meng’s protection.

Qiao Donghai, who had been called an idiot, felt a little embarrassed, chuckled awkwardly, and then walked over to Xia Tian.

"Miss Liu, thank you for saving me," Qiao Donghai thanked Liu Meng first before turning to Xia Tian: "Xia Tian, we should quickly take Xiao Qiao away from here!"

Qiao Donghai added after a pause: “We don’t know if there are still bombs around and who knows if another police officer is an impostor. It’s better to go back to the Qiao family compound where it’s safer; at least we can be sure that no outsiders will sneak in."

"I’m fine with either, wherever Xiao Qiao likes." Xia Tian naturally didn’t mind as long as Qiao Xiaoqiao was willing to stay at the Qiao family.

“Xiao Qiao, what do you think” Qiao Donghai turned and asked for Xiao Qiao’s opinion.

Qiao Xiaoqiao watched the bodyguards being loaded into ambulances and finally nodded lightly: "Alright, but I need to go upstairs for my computer first."

"Let someone else fetch it," Qiao Donghai suggested. "I'll have people move everything you have here back."

"No need, I just want to get my computer." Qiao Xiaoqiao shook her head and looked at Xia Tian. "Husband, could you go upstairs with me"

"Alright, I’ll have the bulletproof car brought over. Once you two come down, we’ll leave immediately." Qiao Donghai nodded; he naturally felt relieved knowing that Xia Tian was accompanying Qiao Xiaoqiao.

Xia Tian and Qiao Xiaoqiao entered the elevator. As soon as the doors closed, Municipal Chief of Police Huang Haitao hurriedly came in. With such a major incident occurring, he had finally stepped up personally to handle it himself.

"Young Master Qiao, is Miss Qiao alright" Huang Haitao quickly approached Qiao Donghai and asked anxiously, even though he knew several people were dead, but if only bodyguards died, it wouldn't be as serious. In this day and age, the value of human life was different; without exaggeration, ten ordinary bodyguards' lives might not even compare to a severe injury sustained by Qiao Xiaoqiao.

Huang Haitao knew very well that as long as Qiao Xiaoqiao was fine, everything else could be resolved. Hence, his first question pertained directly to her safety.

"She’s okay, she went upstairs with Xia Tian to retrieve some things. We’ll be leaving the building soon." Upon saying this, Qiao Donghai's tone turned somewhat stern: "Chief Huang, can you find out what happened with your special police team How could assassins get in"

"Young Master Qiao, I’m investigating it right now. Please rest assured that we will give you a satisfactory explanation," Huang Haitao replied urgently.

Just then, Huang Anping hurried over: "I've looked into it. That SWAT officer is not the killer!"

"What" Huang Haitao's expression changed. "Are you sure he's not the killer"

"He definitely isn't," Huang Anping replied quickly. "According to multiple sources, he's a local from Jianghai City and has been a police officer for ten years. There's no way this person could be the killer. We suspect he was threatened."

"Oh no!" Huang Haitao's expression darkened. "If he isn't the killer, it means the real one might still be out there"

"I'm worried about that too," said Huang Anping with a nod. "But I've ordered all SWAT officers to evacuate the building. From now on, we'll take over and handle everything ourselves. We should be fine." He then turned to Qiao Donghai: "Young Master Qiao, what about Xia Jia and Miss Qiao"

"They went upstairs to retrieve some things," replied Qiao Donghai, his expression also turning anxious. Moments ago, he had thought the killer was dead and that they were safe for now; but learning that the SWAT officer wasn't the killer made him uneasy.

Two loud bangs suddenly echoed, causing a tremor in the building as everyone instinctively fell to the ground once more. Outside, the crowd panicked again.

"It's the ninth floor! The explosion is on the ninth floor!"

"Oh no, that's where Miss Qiao's bedroom is!"ded to deliver the design drawings of the small island to each of his wives. After leaving the police station, he first went back to the Qiao family residence, where he left a set of drawings; now bot...
