You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

In a flash, Lin Chen acted without hesitation.

His body made a decision even faster than his brain, and he had already become an arrow released from a bow!

The muscle memory and explosive power granted by the [Basic Fighting Techniques] were pushed to their physiological limits at this moment!

The old wooden floor beneath his feet let out a groan of despair, leaving two clear cracks where he had kicked.

He arrived just before Su Qingge could touch Su Ke'er.

An arm as strong as an iron clamp wrapped around Su Qingge's incredibly supple waist without warning.

"you!"

Su Qingge only had time to utter a short cry of surprise before a tremendous, irresistible force lifted her into the air.

The world spun around.

Lin Chen put his arm around her and, using his toes as a pivot, suddenly spun around.

Half a circle, 180 degrees.

The two switched positions instantly.

The next second, Su Qingge was pulled tightly into a firm and warm embrace.

She didn't smell sweat, but rather a faint, cool scent that inexplicably reassured her.

Lin Chen, on the other hand, used his broad back to meet the deadly crossbow bolt head-on without reservation.

"puff--!"

A dull thud as flesh was struck.

A poisoned crossbow, gleaming with a chilling green light, pierced Lin Chen's left shoulder, the arrowhead almost penetrating his scapula, drawing out a spray of hot blood that instantly stained half of his shirt.

The excruciating pain surged like a tidal wave, stimulating every nerve.

However, the real death has only just begun.

The shadow overhead suddenly loomed over them with the force of a thunderbolt!

The giant crystal chandelier, weighing over several hundred kilograms, arrived overhead with a piercing shriek that seemed to tear through the air!

"ah--!"

A desperate cry of alarm echoed through the auditorium.

Li Mingyu was so frightened that his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.

It’s over.

It's all over.

At that moment, Lin Chen made a crazy move that everyone would never forget.

He gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain in his left shoulder, and used one hand to tightly protect the stiff Su Qingge in his arms. His other, muscular right arm defied the downward momentum and suddenly lifted her upward!

"Get out of my way!"

A low growl, suppressing boundless pain and rage!

"boom--!!!"

It wasn't a muffled thud of flesh and blood flying everywhere, but a deafening roar of metal clashing against bone!

Under the horrified gazes of everyone.

Lin Chen, with his bare flesh and blood, actually caught the falling crystal chandelier with one hand!

Countless crystal shards exploded due to the enormous impact, scattering in all directions like a magnificent rain of death.

He created a precarious yet incredibly sturdy living space for Su Qingge in his arms and Su Ke'er beneath him, who was bound by silk threads!

The immense impact traveled up his arm and through his entire body. Lin Chen groaned, his bones creaking under the strain, and his right knee slammed to the ground!

"Snap!"

The stage floor tiles beneath his knees shattered with a crash, and spiderweb-like cracks spread wildly in all directions!

The entire room fell silent.

Only the remaining crystal pendants on the chandelier still jingled and chimed, like background music for this miraculous scene.

Warm, viscous liquid trickled down Lin Chen's arm, one drop, two drops... landing on Su Qingge's cheek.

Su Qingge's mind went blank.

She lay blankly in Lin Chen's arms, looking up at the face above her, its muscles contorted with extreme pain, yet still strong, through the shattered crystal.

Why...why did he risk his life to save himself?

How did he catch that weight?

A trickle of blood slowly seeped from the corner of Lin Chen's mouth.

He lowered his head with difficulty, looking into the phoenix eyes in his arms filled with shock, confusion and terror, and forced a smile that was more like crying.

"Officer Su..."

"This... counts as a work injury, right?"

One sentence, like a key, instantly unlocked the floodgates of Su Qingge's emotions.

Her breath hitched.

Tears that had been building up in those clear eyes for over twenty years finally burst forth.

On the second-floor stands, the madness and ecstasy on Gao Ya's face froze completely.

He was stunned.

The baton slipped from his hand and fell to the ground with a "thud".

He couldn't understand what was happening before his eyes.

This scene was not in his script.

That's several hundred kilograms of gravitational acceleration!

How could anyone... withstand his meticulously designed death trap with their own body?

This unscientific!

This is not art!

In the instant he was stunned, Lin Chen took a deep breath and temporarily used his strong will to block out the pain receptors.

Without even looking, he yanked the crossbow bolt that was lodged deep in his left shoulder!

"hiss--!"

The sight of the flesh and blood that were pulled out made Su Qingge's heart clench painfully.

Lin Chen casually tossed the still-dripping crossbow bolt to the ground, then with a sudden burst of strength, flung the heavy chandelier wreckage aside!

"Clang!"

The chandelier crashed to the ground with a loud bang and completely fell apart.

Lin Chen slowly stood up.

He moved his bleeding left shoulder, his cold gaze piercing through the dimly lit auditorium and shooting straight at the elegance of the second-floor stands.

The moment Gao Ya met those eyes, an uncontrollable tremor arose deep within her soul!

Lin Chen didn't say a single unnecessary word.

He moved.

With her toes touching the edge of the stage, she suddenly lunged forward, stepping on the piano frame that bound Su Ke'er, using the momentum to leap into the air and soar to the second-floor stands, which were nearly five meters high!

"You...you stay away!"

Elegance finally felt fear.

He retreated in alarm, frantically trying to reach for the spare dagger hidden in the inner pocket of his tuxedo.

But Lin Chen didn't give him any chance at all.

A furious iron hand had gripped his neck tightly, lifting him off the ground!

A feeling of suffocation instantly overwhelmed her, and Gao Ya's feet left the ground as she struggled in vain.

Lin Chen's hoarse and deep voice rang in his ears.

"You like playing the piano, right?"

"You like resonance, right?"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Chen's right hand grasped Gao Ya's pair of slender fingers, which she was so proud of and which were born for art.

Then, one by one, bend them in the opposite direction with force!

"Snap—!!!"

A series of crisp sounds of bones breaking were so jarring in the deathly silent auditorium!

"ah--!!!"

Gao Ya let out a shrill, pig-like scream.

His once nimble and graceful hands were now twisted at an eerie angle, all ten fingers severed!

Lin Chen did not stop.

He loosened his elegant fingers, clenched them into a fist, and slammed his fist hard into the elegant man's face!

"Bang!"

His nose bridge shattered on the spot!

The pair of gold-rimmed glasses, a symbol of refinement and elegance, shattered with a crash, shards mixed with blood scattering everywhere!

The final blow.

Lin Chen grabbed Gao Ya's collar and slammed him from the air into the old grand piano in the center of the stage!

"Thump—!!!"

The elegant body and the black and white piano keys experienced a most intimate "flesh-and-blood resonance".

Those jarring, chaotic, and painful final notes were the last vestiges of this eccentric artist's legacy to the world.

Then, his eyes rolled back and he completely lost consciousness.
