The sniper rifle's barrel was twisted and deformed by Shen Lang's grasp, causing the black-clad woman's expression to change drastically in shock.
However, after the shock, the black-clad woman's hands directly released the sniper rifle, letting it fall to the ground.
"Whoosh—"
The moment the sniper rifle hit the ground, the black-clad woman drew a three-edged bayonet from her waist and lunged fiercely towards Shen Lang's carotid artery.
"Using a three-edged bayonet, you really are a beautiful snake."
Seeing the black-clad woman attack him with the bayonet, Shen Lang's expression shifted slightly as he said with a smile.
"Swoosh—"
Just a fraction of a second before the bayonet could pierce the carotid artery, Shen Lang raised his right hand and grabbed the black-clad woman's wrist.
"What?"
The black-clad woman found Shen Lang's right hand locked onto her wrist like a vise, rendering her unable to advance even with all her might.
"Hmph—"
Feeling Shen Lang's terrifying strength, the black-clad woman snorted coldly, then released her right hand, and the three-edged bayonet dropped.
And as the bayonet fell halfway, the black-clad woman's left hand swiftly reached out, firmly grasping the bayonet.
A cold glint appeared first, followed by the rapid thrust of the three-edged bayonet towards Shen Lang's throat.
"I originally wanted to play with you, but I didn't expect you to be so ruthless. Since that's the case, I won't hold back either."
Seeing the black-clad woman's vicious attacks aimed at vital points, Shen Lang's patience wore thin.
Just as the bayonet was about to stab his throat, Shen Lang swiftly kicked out.
"Bang—"
Shen Lang's kick was powerful and heavy, landing squarely on the black-clad woman's lower abdomen, sending her flying three meters back. She crashed heavily against the wall, spewing a mouthful of blood, and the three-edged bayonet dropped from her hand.
Shen Lang quickly closed in on the black-clad woman, then picked up the bayonet from the ground. Without a word, he thrust the bayonet directly towards the black-clad woman's carotid artery.
"Shen Lang, stop."
At a critical moment, an old man inside the room spoke, interrupting Shen Lang's action.
As he spoke, an elder, about seventy years old, standing at 1.65 meters, with a head full of white hair and a gaunt appearance, walked towards Shen Lang.
"Shen Lang, 'Bing' was right, you truly are a wolf, a man-eating wolf. If I had stopped you any later, you would have killed her, wouldn't you?"
The white-haired elder looked at Shen Lang and said with a smile.
"You are the one 'Bing' spoke of, aren't you?"
Hearing the white-haired elder's words, Shen Lang smiled and said, "At first, I thought she asked me to protect her boyfriend, but now it seems unlikely, because you are too old."
"Haha, is 'Bing' a woman?"
The white-haired elder, hearing this, looked shocked and said, "I always thought he was a man."
"You haven't met?"
Seeing the white-haired elder's reaction, Shen Lang looked stunned and said.
"Of course, how could someone like 'Bing' easily meet others? Although we are friends, our contact is limited to phone calls and text messages. We've never met. I always thought he was a man because he always spoke with a man's voice during our calls."
The white-haired elder shook his head and said.
Hearing the white-haired elder's words, Shen Lang felt a bit of admiration for 'Bing'.
No wonder he could be the leader of an intelligence organization. 'Bing''s caution and meticulousness were beyond imagination.
However, this also explained why 'Bing' could be known as the Heavenly Net, penetrating everywhere.
"Shen Lang, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Qin Bian Que, a medical professor at Longdu Medical College."
After a brief exchange, the white-haired elder extended his right hand towards Shen Lang, initiating a handshake with a smile.
"Qin Bian Que?"
Hearing the name, Shen Lang was slightly surprised and said, "I have heard of your name. You are the senior brother of the Ghost Doctor Qin Yan Luo. However, many people say your medical skills are not as famous as his."
"But I know, the truth is not like that."
Shen Lang smiled and said, "Legend has it that Bian Que from the Spring and Autumn period came from a family of physicians. But the medical skills of his two elder brothers were very ordinary. Bian Que, due to his miraculous healing and ability to bring people back from the dead, became famous through the ages."
"In reality, Bian Que's two elder brothers were the true divine doctors. Unlike Bian Que, who had to wait for symptoms to appear and the patient to be on the brink of death to diagnose illness, they could see the patient's problem before the illness manifested and administer the correct treatment, curing them."
"Qin Bian Que, I dare to say that although you are named after Bian Que, you practice the medical approach of his two elder brothers. Therefore, even though your medical skills far surpass Qin Yan Luo's, you are not as famous."
Upon hearing this, Qin Bian Que was greatly astonished and said to Shen Lang, "Shen Lang, you are indeed a man with the wisdom of a demon. It seems nothing in this world can escape your eyes."
"However, I am indifferent to fame and fortune. Let others say what they will. Anyway, I have long since severed ties with that unaccomplished junior brother."
Speaking of which, Qin Bian Que smiled at Shen Lang and said, "Black Rose was just testing you just now and meant no harm. Can you be merciful?"
"Alright, since you've asked, there's nothing more to say. I'll do as you say."
Shen Lang heard this, dropped the three-edged bayonet he was holding, and said to the black-clad woman, "I can understand your test, but your methods were too vicious. I don't like it."
"Remember this, the next time you test someone, it's best not to be so ruthless. If you encounter a tough opponent, you might lose your life because of it."
After speaking, Shen Lang walked directly to the sofa in the room and sat down, looking at Qin Bian Que and saying, "I heard from 'Bing' that you've gotten into big trouble. Can you tell me about it?"
"No problem—"
Qin Bian Que heard this, walked to Shen Lang's opposite, sat down, and said, "I have indeed gotten into big trouble, but it wasn't something I sought out."
"Shen Lang, have you heard of the Killers' Guild?"
Qin Bian Que looked at Shen Lang, his gaze solemn, and said.
"Killers' Guild?"
Shen Lang heard this, thought for a moment, and said, "I know, it's an internationally notorious criminal organization. A while ago, they caused trouble in Nanling, and I killed quite a few of them. So, we've had some dealings."
"What, is your trouble related to the Killers' Guild?"
Qin Bian Que heard this and nodded, saying, "About five years ago, the Killers' Guild was conducting a secret biological experiment. To understand the content of the experiment, I was ordered to go undercover into the Killers' Guild. Recently, their experiment succeeded. I blew up the laboratory, took their data, and escaped."
"They have been hunting me to retrieve the experimental data I possess. I am in great danger now."
"I don't trust the Martial Guard Department, nor do I trust other forces. I only trust the people at Longdu Medical College, and they can only come to Nanling to pick me up tomorrow. Therefore, I need you to protect my safety for one day."
