Tranxending Vision

Xia Lei thought that Linda's home was in a crowded city area, but he found out that it was a house by the ocean. It was situated on a hillside. The grassy slope was covered with all kinds of flowers, making it look as beautiful as the stars. At the bottom of the hill, the Mediterranean was in turmoil. A distant lighthouse was lit, guiding the fishing boat home. There was a small town at the foot of the hill, also brightly lit, with baroque buildings in the sky, painting a picture, giving the impression that time had stopped in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, no longer flowing.    

    

Although it was his first time coming to this place, Xia Lei liked it immediately.    

    

"It's beautiful here." Standing on her observation balcony, Xia Lei lamented.    

    

"It's a beautiful place, but if you stay long you'll get tired of it and want to go for a walk or even go somewhere else." Linda brought a cup of coffee for Xia Lei, "People are just like that, right? Most people like new things. "    

    

Xia Lei sipped her coffee and laughed: "You are an exception. You like ancient things, right?"    

    

"What about you?" Linda stared straight at Xia Lei with her pair of deep blue eyes. She seemed to be using this kind of gaze to decipher the story on Xia Lei's body.    

    

Xia Lei calmly looked at him, "I am a rational person, I think I am somewhere in between. I like some high-end technology products and technologies, and I also like something that has been passed down in history. Have you seen the drama of Grand China? What I want to tell you is, I'm a theater enthusiast. "    

    

But just as he finished speaking, Linda suddenly sang out. "Zhang Fei with his red face, Cao Cao with his green face, who said that women are inferior to men?!"    

    

Was this the Grand China's Wind? Xia Lei's mind was in a mess.    

    

"Hehe, I'm sorry, but this is all I've learned. Was my singing good?"    

    

"Not bad, you sang quite well." Xia Lei flattered him with a guilty conscience.    

    

"Forget it, I like the culture of the Grand China a lot, but the things I know are way too little. Mr. Marley, wait for me for a few minutes, I'll make a phone call, then we'll go to the small town to eat dinner. " She smiled. "You promised. You're going to treat me to dinner."    

    

Xia Lei smiled slightly, "No problem."    

    

After Linda left, he took out the satellite telephone and dialed a number.    

    

"Boss, I thought I wouldn't get your call until tomorrow morning." Arresian said, "Haha, you definitely understand what I mean."    

    

Xia Lei said: "Don't make wild guesses. Her name is Linda, she is an archaeologist from Italy, and coincidentally, she is going to Malta to conduct archaeological activities, so her identity is a better cover for me. "    

    

Arresian said: "Ye Liena secretly took a photo of her, Sayimu found out her identity, we confirmed that there is no problem with her identity, you can go to Malta with her. I only have one question, what do we do? Was he following you in the dark or was he following you? "    

    

Xia Lei said: "All of you go to Malta first, but do nothing. You just need to wait for my call."    

    

"I knew it would. I'll see you on Malta." Arresian then added, "Boss, Italian women are famous throughout the world for their unrestrained and passionate nature. That girl is not bad, so don't waste it. I'm sure she hasn't had that kind of life in a year. She's hungry. "    

    

Xia Lei, "..."    

    

After ending the call with Arresian, Xia Lei shifted his gaze towards the direction Linda left in. Very quickly, he found her in a room.    

    

Perhaps it was out of habit, but his left eye's line of sight locked onto Linda's lips, and his lip language comprehension skill activated at the same time.    

    

"..." Professor Oman, yes, I have just returned to Sicily, I am preparing to leave for Malta after a day of rest ? Mhmm, in a bit, I'll go to the town with my friends for dinner. Just give me the things you want, and I won't come to your house anymore ? I know those things are very important. Don't worry, I will protect them well ? "Yes, I'll see you later." Linda hung up the call, then turned and left the room.    

    

Xia Lei retracted his gaze.    

    

"I'm ready, can we go now? My stomach is already protesting. " Linda said to Xia Lei with a smile.    

    

Xia Lei smiled and nodded.    

    

The town at the foot of the hill was called Witch Town, which was said to have come from a very powerful medieval witch. However, Xia Lei was not interested in Linda's story at all.    

    

The two of them entered an Italian restaurant. Xia Lei ordered the best dishes and red wine in the restaurant, then invited the wandering artist who was working in the restaurant to play a small zither song, the romantic "Little Night Songs".    

    

"Mr. Marley, you really are a romantic man. I don't know why, but when I was with you, I felt very close and warm. We hadn't even known each other for a day, but I felt like we were old friends who had known each other for years. It's wonderful, isn't it? " Her face was filled with a joyful smile.    

    

Xia Lei laughed, "Miss Linda, what are you implying?"    

    

"What is your hint?" There was an intriguing smile at the corner of her mouth.    

    

"Hur hur, let's toast."    

    

The dinner was carried out in a cheerful atmosphere, and then ended. However, even when Xia Lei called the waiter over to pay the bill, he did not see any Professor Oman person.    

    

Linda looked at her phone, feeling depressed and anxious, "I don't know what happened, but Professor Oman isn't here yet, I made an appointment with him beforehand."    

    

She called Professor Oman, but no one answered.    

    

"Why don't we wait here?" Xia Lei said.    

    

"There's no need to wait any longer, I'll go over to his house to take a look."    

    

"Let me go with you. It's not safe for a girl like you to walk in the street at this late hour. This is Sicily. " Xia Lei said.    

    

"Hur hur." Linda laughed and said, "Mr. Marley, first of all, I thank you for your concern, but your point of view is wrong. The whole world thought of Sicily as a paradise for criminals, but that was in the past. Now that the Italian Mafia was going into finance and property, or investing in the oil industry, who would be fighting in the streets? "Don't worry, it's actually very safe here."    

    

Hearing her say that, Xia Lei thought she didn't want him to accompany her there, but unexpectedly, the moment she finished speaking, she came close to him and held his hand, "Come, let's go together."    

    

Xia Lei suddenly felt that Arresian's words made sense.    

    

Professor Oman's home was not far, it only took ten minutes to arrive.    

    

It was a very old house, at least 200 years old, but it was well protected and there weren't any obvious signs of damage. It looked like a clean old man, covered with stories.    

    

Linda knocked on the door, but no one replied.    

    

No one answered the phone, no one answered the door, this was not normal. A trace of vigilance suddenly rose in Xia Lei's heart. His left eye slightly twitched, and the door and wall that obstructed his line of sight silently disappeared from his sight. Right at that moment, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Linda's waist, and then fell down together with her.    

    

Tuk, tuk, tuk!    

    

The wooden door trembled and several finger-sized holes appeared on it. It was the hole left by a bullet piercing a plank. If he came down late by a second, the bullet that shot out from behind the door would have pierced Linda's chest.    

    

"What are you doing?" Linda still had not reacted, and did not know what had happened.    

    

Xia Lei did not explain anything as he suddenly jumped and pulled Linda up from the ground, pulling her along as he ran towards the corner of the wall.    

    

"Mr. Marley!" Linda was angry.    

    

The door behind him suddenly opened and a black gunner rushed out from behind the door.    

    

The moment the black gunner rushed out, Xia Lei had already dragged Linda to a corner and hid himself using the wall.    

    

Linda opened his mouth to scream, but Xia Lei covered his mouth with one hand and hugged her tightly to prevent her from moving. His left eye pierced the wall and locked onto the black gunman.    

    

The African man was holding a gun as he walked over. He raised both his arms and pointed the gun at the corner of the wall. He held the gun in a standard position, his hands were steady, and he was a well-trained gunman.    

    

However, Xia Lei did not feel the slightest bit of panic in his heart. With such a gunner under his watch, even if the opponent was empty-handed, he would still be able to subdue him. If he wanted to kill this gunner, it would be even easier. All he needed to do was pull out the knife hidden at his waist, and when the gunner sneaked to the other side of the wall, he could end the battle with one slash.    

    

However, this gunman was not his enemy. His goal was the protective suit in the Knights Hospitaller's hands, not a hero saving a beauty. As a result, unless the other side was a threat to his life, he wouldn't kill the Gunner.    

    

The black gunman was getting closer.    

    

Xia Lei frowned. He did not want to kill people at the Sicily, but this guy was courting death. He released the hand that was holding onto Linda's small belly, and then touched his waist.    

    

"Who's there? "Come out!" The black gunner stopped a meter away from the corner. However, his shadow was cast onto the ground by the light of the street lamp. His arms and the gun in his hand were clearly visible!    

    

Looking at the reflection on the ground, Linda suddenly realized what had happened. She instantly tensed up, and her face became pale white.    

    

A car on the street suddenly stopped, someone shouted: "Hey! What are you doing? "    

    

Startled, the gunman glanced at the car, then turned and ran.    

    

Xia Lei released Linda, and the hand that was about to pull out the blade also stopped.    

    

Linda took a look and saw that the black gunner had rushed into an alley. Very soon, the engine of the locomotive rumbled and a cool looking locomotive rushed out of the alley and plunged into the darkness like a wild beast.    

    

"Crap!" Professor Oman! " Linda ran out of the corner of the wall.    

    

Just as he was considering whether he should enter the house to take a look, Linda had already rushed into Professor Oman's home.    

    

"Hey!" What happened, sir? " The driver of the car on the street asked Xia Lei.    

    

Xia Lei spoke in Italian: "I don't know either, we were attacked, could you help to call the police?"    

    

"No problem." The driver used his cell phone to call the police.    

    

Xia Lei walked to the door as his heart was still considering the question he did not think about earlier, "Should we leave without her? "But her identity is a good cover ?"    

    

The question had not been considered in the end, but even as he was considering it, he had stepped into it.    

    

The room reeked of blood.    

    

"Professor Oman!" Linda's alarmed cry came from inside a room.    

    

Xia Lei ran over.    

    

It was a study, and an old man was lying on the floor. He was hit in the chest, his clothes were soaked with blood, and there was a wide expanse of pine wood.
