Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 677: Chapter 676, Are You a God?

Pingliang Xiangzhi had just walked out of the restroom with a faint smile on her face, heading to the sink to wash her hands and touch up her makeup.

Although her features were stunning, her looks downright exquisite, even without makeup, she gave off a sense of being able to topple countries.

But as the old saying goes, the love of beauty is universal, especially for women.

Women dress up for those who please them!

But just then,

a tall woman in her thirties with a cold gaze appeared behind Pingliang Xiangzhi.

She held a sharp dagger in her hand, viciously aiming it at Pingliang Xiangzhi’s back.

Pingliang Xiangzhi saw the assassin in the mirror, her face pale as wax, unable to conceal her terror, having never expected the assassin to chase her here.

At that moment,

she felt the Grim Reaper’s footsteps closing in.

Her mind went blank.

But just as she was at a loss, she inexplicably felt an uncontrolled force surge within her, causing her to instinctively turn her body, dodging the opponent’s fatal strike.

Simultaneously,

she decisively extended her left hand, grabbing the female assassin’s wrist, while her right fist struck heavily under the assassin’s armpit.

”Ugh.”

The female assassin never anticipated that Pingliang Xiangzhi’s reaction would be so quick, nor did she expect such immense strength, nearly causing her to collapse to the ground.

However, the dagger in her hand uncontrollably slipped from her right hand.

Pingliang Xiangzhi reacted swiftly, grabbed the dagger, and reversed it into the assassin’s chest.

Splat!

Crimson blood spurted out, staining Pingliang Xiangzhi’s stunning face, adding a tinge of bloody beauty.

The female assassin’s eyes were full of shock.

But more so, disbelief arose.

Wasn’t it said that Pingliang Xiangzhi was a fragile woman unable to even truss a chicken?

But why was her reaction speed so swift?

And her attack so fierce?

Damn it!

Do you have some misunderstanding about a fragile woman?

”Did I kill someone?”

Seeing the assassin fall to the ground, Pingliang Xiangzhi instinctively retreated two steps, her eyes filled with horror.

As a girl who usually dared not kill,

what happened today shocked her intensely.

At this moment,

Xu Wendong arrived after hearing the news and gently embraced her, softly calming her emotions.

It was not until Xu Wendong appeared that

Pingliang Xiangzhi let down her guard and began to sob in his arms.

The fear and unease in her heart gradually began to settle.

As if Xu Wendong’s embrace were her safe haven,

even after just experiencing a life-and-death moment,

as long as this man was by her side, she feared nothing.

The scenic staff quickly arrived on the scene, and upon confirming that the female assassin was still breathing, they called emergency and police hotlines.

Upon learning the female assassin wasn’t dead,

the guilt that burdened Pingliang Xiangzhi’s heart vanished instantly.

Because she did not wish to kill, let alone a fellow human.

However,

despite this, her face still bore a worried expression, and she asked Xu Wendong, ”Mr. Yanagida, I stabbed the dagger into the other’s chest earlier. Can she really survive?”

Upon hearing this, Xu Wendong chuckled, ”I was also stabbed in the chest with a sharp tool before and turned out fine. Don’t worry, she’ll surely be okay.”

Pingliang Xiangzhi nodded solemnly, ”I trust Mr. Yanagida!”

Xu Wendong smiled without saying a word.

It’s right to trust me!

After all,

your dodge and counterattack just now were all performed by me controlling your body.

If it weren’t for me,

you would truly be dead by now.

Indeed,

the female assassin’s appearance was too sudden, so under those circumstances, the only thing Xu Wendong could do was to control Pingliang Xiangzhi’s body to fight back.

What?

Control the female assassin?

No, no!

Compared to controlling Pingliang Xiangzhi, a fragile woman, controlling the female assassin would be many, many times more difficult.

And in such a critical moment, Xu Wendong doubt his ability to control the opponent’s body.

Of course,

he could directly launch a soul attack to kill the other’s soul.

But although it’s a secure method,

it would prevent discovering the culprit behind this.

After two assassination attempts in one day, they had to figure out who was behind it all.

That’s why Xu Wendong spared her life.

The officers from the police department soon arrived at the scene. Upon arrival, they reviewed the surveillance, which clearly captured the assailant’s attack and Pingliang Xiangzhi’s counterattack.

This case carried no mysteries or doubts.

They then swiftly detained the unconscious female assassin.

”Miss Pingliang Xiangzhi, would you like us from the police department to arrange some people to protect your safety? To prevent similar incidents?” asked the head of the police department respectfully.

They already knew Pingliang Xiangzhi’s identity and the fact that she had been attacked once before.

Luckily, both attacks had been averted.

If Pingliang Xiangzhi had really encountered an accident in Toyama Prefecture, and Yano Yamato blamed them, they would certainly be in deep trouble.

Though Yano Yamato was merely a Martial Arts Hall curator, his influence in Wa Country was terrifying.

Pingliang Xiangzhi politely replied, ”Thank you for your kindness, but there’s no need to bother. We can protect ourselves.”

The officers had nothing more to say.

They left with their men.

Afterwards,

Xu Wendong took Pingliang Xiangzhi out of the scenic area.

”Mr. Yanagida, I have a feeling that Jingbian Yudai might not necessarily be the culprit!” Pingliang Xiangzhi said with a serious expression, ”We decided to come to this scenic area on a whim and hadn’t mentioned it to anyone. Jingbian Yudai couldn’t have known our destination.”

”But...”

”We didn’t see anyone following us when we came here.”

She furrowed her brow, completely baffled by the situation.

Xu Wendong glanced towards the car, offering his deduction, ”If I’m not mistaken, there’s a possibility that someone installed a tracking system in our car!”

He found some reason in Pingliang Xiangzhi’s logic but still did not rule out Jingbian Yudai’s involvement.

After all,

it was this vehicle that he arranged.

”What do we do now?” Pingliang Xiangzhi asked nervously.

”Leave it to me!” Xu Wendong smiled, opened the car door, and got in. After Pingliang Xiangzhi fastened her seatbelt, he drove off.

Half an hour later,

Xu Wendong arrived at a car repair shop and found a mechanic. He gave the mechanic a hundred thousand yen to conduct a thorough check of the car.

During the inspection, Pingliang Xiangzhi also received a call from the police department, learning that the assassin had passed the critical period and once her condition stabilized, would be interrogated in hope of identifying the mastermind.

As for the middle-aged man who attacked them in the ramen shop earlier that day, he still hadn’t woken up, reportedly suffering an acute cerebral infarction with a dismal prognosis.

An hour later,

the mechanic exclaimed upon finding a cigarette pack-sized tracking device in the car.

This discovery left Pingliang Xiangzhi astounded, and she looked at Xu Wendong with full admiration, ”Mr. Yanagida, are you a god? How did you know our car had a tracking system installed?”
