Chapter 312 - 320 Assassin
Li Yifei did not alert Su Mengxin and did not look around either. His body was not tense but completely relaxed, yet his nerves swiftly identified the source of the killing intent. It was a man, an ordinary-looking man, but also an extraordinarily uncommon one.
To say he was ordinary was because his appearance was such that anyone who glanced at him would forget him instantly. To say he was uncommon was because of the aura of killing intent he emitted, which definitely could not be matched by just anyone.
Although the killing intent was strong, it wasn’t bursting forth from the man. Instead, it seemed he was deliberately concealing it. However, Li Yifei was particularly sensitive in this regard. Having served in the Flying Hawk Squad, he had completed so many missions without a single failure. His only injury was from taking a bullet for Su Mengxin, and a significant reason for his unblemished record was his sensitivity to this kind of killing intent.
Sensing the killing intent in advance allowed him to prepare and greatly reduced the risk of being ambushed. On real battlefields, direct assaults were rare, with stealth and ambush being preferred for their efficiency and minimal loss.
Using this sense, Li Yifei had evaded one ambush after another and often managed to catch his opponents off guard. Just imagine, the enemy thinking they had laid the perfect trap, only to fall into Li Yifei and his team’s counter-trap without any preparation. The outcome was not hard to imagine.
Li Yifei also sensed that this person’s target was not him, but Su Mengxin. In other words, this man had no idea that Huaxia’s strongest special forces operative was also present.
Turning to look at Su Mengxin, Li Yifei said with a smile, "You seem in high spirits today. I’ll take you out for some good food."
"What are we eating?" Su Mengxin immediately perked up at Li Yifei.
"Hehe, you’ll know when we get there. I bet you’ve never had this kind of food before."
"Really? You better not trick me." Su Mengxin’s mood improved even further. It was late, and Li Yifei was in the mood to take her out to eat, which added an interesting element to the evening. As for a candlelit dinner, she wasn’t in a hurry to have it.
