Tony Smith confronts Lin Fan, attempting to bribe him with a billion Euros to reveal the target of an assassination attempt that endangered Lin Fan's life on a plane. Lin Fan refuses, citing justice for the innocent victims and exposing Smith's own deadly ambush, including hidden snipers. Smith then threatens Li Zixia, demanding Lin Fan reveal the target within three seconds or face her death.

Lin Fan said, "Of course I care."

Tony Smith said, "But I can’t tell that you care. There’s only one number left, and yet you’re indifferent?"

Lin Fan said, "Mr. Smith, have you heard about the Earth Wolf Gang in Eastern Europe?"

Tony Smith said, "I’ve heard of them, so what?"

Recently, the downfall of the Earth Wolf Gang caused an uproar in the international community, involving many wealthy people in Europe, making it hard not to know.

Lin Fan said, "Why do you think the Earth Wolf Gang was destroyed?"

Tony Smith’s expression changed, as if realizing something: "Could it have anything to do with Mr. Lin?"

Lin Fan said, "Those clueless guys from the Earth Wolf Gang captured Miss Li. In order to save her, I had to chase them down to Spain. The Earth Wolf Gang tried to retaliate, so I simply wiped out their headquarters."

Tony Smith was first stunned and then couldn’t help but laugh: "If I didn’t know that it was Morgan who sent people to kidnap Miss Li, I might have believed Mr. Lin’s words."

Lin Fan said, "Whether you believe it or not doesn’t matter. I can’t be bothered to explain more. I said this just to answer your previous question. You asked if I cared about Miss Li’s life or death. Yes, I care."

Tony Smith said, "Mr. Lin, stop bluffing. Even if what you said is true, and you did take down the Earth Wolf Gang, so what? Now you’re under my sniper’s aim. Do you think you can fly away? No, you won’t get away!"

Lin Fan said, "You’re quite confident."

Tony Smith snorted, "Someone really doesn’t shed a tear until they see the coffin! Miss Li, your life depends on Mr. Lin. If you die, it’s because Mr. Lin refuses to save you, not my fault. I’ve given him a chance."

Li Zixia: "..."

She didn’t know what to say. First of all, she definitely didn’t want to die, but she couldn’t ask Lin Fan to bow down to Tony Smith just to save her. She couldn’t bring herself to do it. Secondly, she already trusted Lin Fan. Lin Fan said he cares about her life and death, and he wouldn’t let her die so easily at Tony Smith’s hands.

Lin Fan went through so much to rescue her from the Earth Wolf Gang; how could he give up on her so easily?

Lin Fan’s calmness surely meant he had another plan!

Tony Smith stared at Lin Fan: "Mr. Lin, I’m not joking with you. Do you really think I wouldn’t dare to kill Miss Li? Dead is dead; you won’t have a chance to regret it."

Lin Fan said, "All right, if you want to kill her, why not hurry up? You’re already three seconds over."

Tony Smith’s face twitched. He really couldn’t understand why Lin Fan was so calm. Did he really not care about Li Zixia? Didn’t he come to London to save Li Zixia? Why wasn’t he worried now? It didn’t make sense.

If he did care, why was he saying such things?

Tony Smith sneered, "Mr. Lin, you’re quite the actor. You’re pretending like you don’t really care about Miss Li, hoping I’ll think she’s unimportant and let her go, right? Do you think this little trick can save Miss Li?"

Lin Fan said, "Isn’t that just what you think? I didn’t say anything."

Tony Smith said, "Very well, Mr. Lin is still trying his little tricks. In that case, I’ll show you that this doesn’t work!"

Lin Fan said, "Before you give the order to shoot, I want to say something, Mr. Smith."

Tony Smith said, "Go ahead."

Lin Fan said, "Since I entered the church, I’ve been recording our conversation. So if Miss Li dies, I’ll have evidence of your murder. Along with your orchestration of the hijacking aimed to cause an air disaster, under the laws of the United Kingdom, a life sentence seems fitting."

Tony Smith paused, then burst into laughter: "You’re killing me; I can’t help but laugh!"

Lin Fan blinked: "What’s so funny? I’m gathering evidence to take you down. Is that funny?"

Tony Smith laughed, of course, it was funny, too funny. Lin Fan couldn’t be thinking that his recording could be sent out, could he? Lin Fan couldn’t even get out alive, so what good is the recording?

Sometimes, Tony Smith really thought whether Lin Fan might be a bit daft?

"Mr. Lin, I thought you had something up your sleeve, but you’re just saying you have a recording and trying to threaten me to let Miss Li go?" Tony Smith laughed.

Lin Fan said, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll expose the evidence?"

Tony Smith said, "You can talk about it if you manage to walk out alive. Unfortunately, your brain isn’t too bright, and poor Miss Li will depart first."

Lin Fan said, "Are you sure you really want to kill Miss Li? I gave you advice, and you didn’t listen. Don’t blame me."

Tony Smith had said this before, but Lin Fan repeated Tony Smith’s words, and it sounded strangely sarcastic.

Tony Smith’s anger flared; he had tried good words and bad, but Lin Fan just wouldn’t give in. Maybe he really wouldn’t shed a tear until he saw the coffin!

"Three!"

Tony Smith decisively shouted out "three."

Swish!

Almost at the same time, three snipers aiming at Li Zixia fired.

Li Zixia, exposed and defenseless, was a live target. It was impossible for her to survive—just one bullet hitting her would end her life.

The probability of her dodging all three shots, how much was that?

Under normal circumstances, it was impossible. But if at that moment she had the protagonist’s halo of "The Chosen Girl" and unimaginable luck, it would be different.

She herself didn’t have that luck.

Fortunately, someone could provide her with that luck.

When Lin Fan came to the church, with top-level insight, he noticed the sniper ambush and activated top-level Koi Carp Luck, granting luck to both himself and Li Zixia. Under the protection of top-level Koi Carp Luck, they could "luckily" avoid any bullet harm.

Even more astonishing, at that moment, Lin Fan set a possibility for the luck:

The probability that all those bullets would miss Li Zixia and instead hit George Green, how much was that?

What is top-level Koi Carp Luck? It’s that with the blessing of Koi Carp Luck, any probability can be realized.

The gunfire rang out.

An astonishing scene unfolded.

"Ah!"

A scream, and George Green fell. His eyes were wide open in disbelief, thinking, what the heck, weren’t the shots aimed at Li Zixia? How did he get hit?

Caught in the crossfire!

Definitely caught in the crossfire!

By comparison, Li Zixia was unharmed, not even a hair out of place!

Except for Lin Fan, everyone was dumbfounded.

The probability of all three snipers missing, how much was that?

How could that be possible?

Lin Fan smiled, "Mr. Smith, look at your snipers. Three and they all missed? Do you believe the next time they fire, they’d all hit you?"

Those words sounded like a joke, but as Smith listened, a chill ran through him, a sense of eerie unease.
