At the same time, she pulled out a small Luger LCP pistol from under the sofa and decisively returned fire in the direction of the motorcyclist!

The bullet hit the wall next to the motorcyclist, sending wood chips flying everywhere!
The motorcyclist was startled by the sudden counterattack and immediately dodged behind a huge bookshelf.

"You damn bitch!"

He cursed angrily, "You think you can take me down with that little toy of yours? Hand over the hard drive, and I might make your death a little easier!"

Emily hid behind the sofa, panting. She knew she only had a few bullets left and had to look for an opportunity.

She leaned forward again and fired two shots in quick succession toward the bookshelf, trying to hit the target.

The motorcyclist immediately leaned out from behind the bookshelf and fired two shots at the sofa in return!

"Click! Click!"

After the gunshot, the two fell silent—they had run out of bullets!
The motorcyclist immediately crouched down and began taking out a spare magazine from his pocket.

It's now!

Lin Yu'an had been waiting for this moment!

Like a cheetah descending from the sky, he didn't take the stairs, but instead leaped directly from the second-floor railing!

"boom!"

With his superhuman physical abilities and immense impact, he slammed into the motorcyclist who was changing his magazine the moment he landed!

The motorcyclist let out a muffled groan as he was thrown into the air, his gun and magazine falling from his hands.

Before he could react, Lin Yu'an quickly caught up and ripped off his helmet!
"Bang! Bang!"

Two powerful front kicks landed precisely on the motorcyclist's temples and jaws! But he slightly reduced his force, knowing how strong his physique was after being enhanced by the "golden finger"! He was afraid of kicking him so hard that he would cause a brain hemorrhage.

Before the motorcyclist could even let out a scream, his eyes rolled back and he passed out completely, like a lump of mud.

The living room fell silent instantly, the air thick with the smell of gunpowder.

Lin Yu'an looked at the motorcyclist who was like a lump of mud and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

He stretched his wrists, which were a little sore from the sudden burst of energy, and prepared to check on Emily's condition.

Suddenly, a sense of crisis even stronger than when the motorcyclist pointed a gun at him came crashing down on him from behind like an icy tide!
He turned around abruptly, his pupils contracting instantly.

Emily had somehow picked up the Glock pistol with a silencer that the motorcyclist had dropped on the ground.

The dark muzzle of a gun was fixed firmly and steadily at his chest, across a coffee table!

"do not move!"

Emily's voice was cold and wary; though her breathing was rapid, her hands holding the gun were as steady as a rock.

"Hey, calm down! I'm here to help you!"

Lin Yu-an immediately raised his hands, making an internationally recognized gesture to indicate that he had no hostile intentions.

His muscles tensed instantly, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.

"help me?"

Emily's lips curled into a cold, mocking smile, her eyes filled with scrutiny and suspicion.

"That was such a convincing performance. A perfect hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress moment, first appearing precisely where my car broke down to showcase your repair skills."

"And then, just when I was in the most danger, you appeared like a god descending! You're asking if you two are in cahoots? Your ultimate goal is still that hard drive, isn't it!"

Lin Yu'an cursed under his breath, realizing he shouldn't have meddled in other people's business!
Lin Yu'an's enhanced nerve reaction speed, thanks to the golden finger, allowed him to take immediate action!

Relying on its instinctive anticipation of danger, it lunged sideways with an agility far beyond what most people could imagine, crashing hard into the sofa next to it!

Before Emily could react, he grabbed the water glass from the table and smashed it precisely into her gun-wielding hand, the gun flying instead of hitting her.

Emily felt a blur before her eyes, and then a tremendous, oppressive force slammed into her.

She fell backward and landed heavily on the soft carpet!

Before she could react, Lin Yu'an had already pinned her down with his powerful body.

His movements were lightning fast. He gripped Emily's wrist, which was holding the gun, tightly with one hand, and twisted it outwards with force. With a "click," the pistol slipped from her hand and was kicked far away.

With his other hand, he swiftly twisted her hands behind her back, while simultaneously using his knee to firmly pin down her constantly twisting legs.

"Let me go! You bastard!" Emily struggled violently, trying to push with her knees and twist with her body.

But under Lin Yu'an's absolute power, all her resistance was futile.

Lin Yu'an restrained her, making her unable to move, and then leaned down, his hot breath almost hitting her earlobe, and growled in a low voice suppressing his anger.

"Can you listen to me calmly now?! I saw that guy on the motorcycle following you, and I felt something was wrong, so I followed him! Your car was vandalized."

"The relay terminals were corroded by the electrolyte with added catalyst, which is why the connection was intermittent! When I jumped in from the second floor, everything I saw was the same as what you saw!"

Feeling the burning breath on her ear, the man's unquestionable tone, and the powerlessness of being completely suppressed and unable to move, Emily's struggles finally slowly stopped.

Her chest heaved violently, and the hostility in her eyes was gradually replaced by reason and contemplation.

"I'll believe you for now, but I still need to call the police! If you really aren't a bad person, please call the police for me."

She was panting, her voice was a little hoarse, and her face was flushed with embarrassment and indignation due to lack of oxygen.

"Also, could you get off me first?"

Lin Yu'an then realized how inappropriate their posture was.

Emily was at home wearing only a thin, close-fitting cashmere sweater and yoga pants, which were now disheveled from the fight.

An unusual blush rose on Emily's originally pale face, and her eyes became somewhat meaningful.

Lin Yu'an was immediately embarrassed and, as if burned, quickly got up from her and stood aside.

Emily straightened her clothes and slowly sat up from the ground.

The awkward atmosphere didn't last long, and the two began discussing how to deal with the mess they were in front of them.

"Who is he?" Lin Yu'an pointed at the unconscious motorcyclist.

"My ex-boyfriend's business partner."

Emily's face turned cold again: "We once invested a sum of money in Bitcoin together, and later, the price of Bitcoin rose more and more ridiculously."

"My ex-boyfriend died in a car accident while he was out. The police said it was an accident, but I know he must have done it!"

“Let’s call the police,” Emily suggested.

"Breaking into a house with a gun and intending to murder is enough to land him a lifetime in jail."

"Okay, I'll tie him up first to prevent him from waking up and being able to resist."

Lin Yu'an agreed and walked over to the motorcyclist, intending to find some rope to tie him up. However, after searching the room for a long time, he couldn't find any suitable rope.

Lin Yu'an unbuckled her belt, intending to use it to bind the man's hands.

But just as he bent down, before the belt even touched the man's wrist, the man who had been unconscious suddenly opened his eyes, his body sprang up like a spring, and he even had a dagger in his right hand!
He casually thrust his weapon at Lin Yu'an! Lin Yu'an hadn't expected him to wake up so quickly! He hadn't used enough force just now!

But Lin Yu'an reacted even faster! Without even thinking, he quickly dodged the dagger attack, and his right fist shot out like a cannonball!
This time, he didn't consciously control his strength; he used all his might and slammed the man's temple hard once again!
"boom!"

After a dull thud, the world fell silent.

The man's body stiffened, then he slumped down like a noodle.

Lin Yu'an quickly realized something was wrong! The motorcyclist's body began to twitch slightly, and soon, he stopped breathing...

Emily covered her mouth and let out a suppressed gasp.

Lin Yu'an was also stunned. He looked at his fist, then at the motionless corpse on the ground, and a chill rose from the soles of his feet.

He killed someone! His uncontrolled power was enough to reach the level of a professional fighter!
At that moment, countless solutions flashed through his mind, but calling the police was definitely out of the question! He had no legitimate reason to enter Emily's house and kill someone.

This makes absolutely no sense in front of a judge! There's a very high chance he'll go to jail! So absolutely, positively, do not call the police!
He glanced at the body on the ground, then at the only witness beside him—Emily.

A chilling killing intent rose uncontrollably from the depths of his heart! If... if he could take her too...

Emily seemed to sense the sudden surge of danger emanating from him. Her body instinctively shrank back, her eyes filled with fear, and her hand involuntarily reached for her own Luger pistol not far away.

How could Lin Yu'an let her have her way?

He turned around expressionlessly, pretending to draw a gun from his back waist, but in reality, with a thought, the already loaded Glock 19 appeared in his hand.

The dark muzzle of the gun was instantly pointed at Emily!
"Don't move." His voice was colder than the Alaskan wind.

Emily's body froze completely.

Lin Yu'an stepped forward and used his belt to tie Emily's hands behind her back and her feet together.

Then, he walked out of the room and immediately put the black off-road motorcycle outside the yard into his spatial storage. He then took out his Zongshen tricycle from the space and also tore off a few meters of huge black plastic sheeting.

When he re-entered the room with the plastic sheet, Emily's eyes were filled with despair.

She watched as Lin Yu'an spread out a plastic sheet in the center of the living room, and she trembled with fear.

She thought he would dispose of her and the corpse like garbage.

She had the courage to resist when facing the motorcyclist because she felt he wouldn't actually kill her before getting the item.

But Lin Yu'an is different; now, he has a reason to kill and silence everyone!

"Don't kill me!" Emily's voice was choked with sobs; she had completely broken down.

“Stan and I are friends! He even mentioned you to me! He said you're a nice person!”

"For Stan's sake, and for George's sake, please don't kill me!"

"I can give you money! The hard drive! The hard drive is under the fireplace! You can see it by breaking open the floor tiles! It contains the private keys to 300 bitcoins! It's all yours! All yours!"

She looked at Lin Yu'an, her eyes filled with pleading: "I can do anything for you! Aren't you... your hormones are so strong? I... I can help you..."

Lin Yu'an looked at her coldly, and as she brought up Stan and George, the murderous intent in his heart gradually subsided.

He thought of the two men's selfless help to him, and how they had repeatedly praised veterinarian Emily for her assistance.

Moreover, he only came to see Emily because of Stan and George, which is why he got involved in this incident.

To some extent, Emily was indeed innocent. If he killed Emily now, he didn't know how he would face Stan and George in the future.

He just wanted a way to tie the two of them together once and for all.

He dragged the body onto the plastic sheet, helped it up, and forced it into a kneeling position with its hands behind its back.

Then, he untied the leather straps binding Emily's hands and feet.

He picked up Emily's Luger LCP pistol, which was out of bullets, and Lin Yu'an added one.

Then he handed the gun to Emily.

"Do you want to live?" His voice was devoid of any emotion.

Emily nodded, trembling.

"Then take it."

Lin Yu'an shoved the Luger pistol into her hand, then took out his phone, turned on the recording function, and pointed the Glock in his other hand at Emily.

"Shoot him in the back of the head."

Emily stared at the cold gun in her hand, then at the corpse so close to her, and was overwhelmed by fear and inner turmoil.

She felt that this man was a demon! A demon who was leading her step by step into the abyss!
"You have no choice, and I'm starting to lose patience too." Lin Yu'an's voice was full of threat.

He then released the safety on the pistol, further threatening Emily.

Ultimately, the instinct for survival prevailed, and Emily raised her gun, aiming it at the motorcyclist's head.

"boom!"

A gunshot rang out, sounding particularly jarring in the quiet wooden cabin. Because of the plastic sheet covering the area, the blood didn't splatter onto the floor.

Lin Yu'an put away his phone and looked at everything in front of him with satisfaction.

Now, Emily's hands are stained with blood too; she has become an accomplice.

With the threat of this video, this woman will never be able to cause any more trouble.

She collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted, the gun slipping from her hand and falling onto the carpet. It was as if all her strength and soul had been drained from her.

Lin Yu'an, however, appeared unusually calm. He knew that now was not the time for sentimentality; dealing with the scene was the top priority.

He went to the fireplace, found a heavy iron hammer on the tool rack, and then went to the spot Emily had indicated.

He tapped the stone slabs on the ground with his foot and, sure enough, heard a hollow echo coming from below, different from the other places.

Without the slightest hesitation, he swung the sledgehammer and smashed it down hard on the stone slab!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

With a few hammer blows, the hard stone bricks shattered into pieces.

He cleared away the rubble, revealing a layer of cement underneath. He then used a hammer to break through the cement layer, revealing a metal box, wrapped in tarpaulin and sealed very well, lying there quietly.

Lin Yu'an took out the box, weighed it in his hand, and found it to be quite heavy.

He didn't open it immediately, but instead tossed it aside and then began to deal with the motorcyclist.
