anwhile, back in the break room, Liu Ergou endured the pain and took off his clothes. He looked at the large bruise and the sunken area on his chest.
"Fuck! My luck is awful today, running into a psycho like her the mont I stepped outside!" Liu Ergou cursed. "She broke my damn ribs!"
But as he said this, a look of confusion crossed his face.
Although she's a psycho, what did she an? True Qi leaving the body... Xuanyuan True Qi? I get the first part, but what's this Xuanyuan True Qi?
At this, Liu Ergou suddenly recalled sothing that either Mi Xiaoying or He Mingxue had told him about the Xuanyuan Family of Jingdu. They said the Xuanyuan Family possessed the sa kind of True Qi he did and were masters of the arts.
For a mont, Liu Ergou was lost in thought. Could I be related to the Xuanyuan Family? Or maybe... I'm one of them?
But after another mont of thought, that didn't feel right. His family had lived in Fengzhu Village since his great-grandfather's ti. Neither his grandfather nor his father had ever left.
No, that's not right. They never even left the town, content to live out their days on their small patch of land.
The more Liu Ergou thought about it, the more his head ached. In the end, he decided to stop thinking. He figured it was better to wait for that psycho to wake up and just ask her. Maybe she knew sothing.
After all, there aren't many people stronger than ! In fact, this might be the first ti I've ever t soone stronger.
However, in the next instant, he had a sudden realization. I just had security call the police! When the cops get here, aren't they going to take her away? Then what about my questions?
At that thought, Liu Ergou shook his head. He couldn't let the police take her. Just as he tried to stand, a sharp pain lanced through his chest, bringing him up short.
Right, I almost forgot I'm injured. I need to take care of this injury first.
With that, Liu Ergou stopped overthinking it. He gritted his teeth, then with a sudden exertion of force, he wrenched his broken rib back into place with his bare hands.
CRACK! Liu Ergou imdiately broke out in a cold sweat from the searing pain. As the rib snapped back into alignnt, he couldn't help but cough up another mouthful of blood.
Feeling the pain in his chest, Liu Ergou was about to use silver needles to temporarily block the sensation. But as he took out a silver needle, the True Qi in his body unexpectedly surged toward the fractured rib. The rib was quickly enveloped by the True Qi, and the excruciating pain began to subside with it. In the blink of an eye, the intense pain had mostly vanished. While a dull ache remained, it no longer hindered his movents.
Just then, police sirens began to wail outside. Hearing them, Liu Ergou imdiately stood up and hurried out.
The mont Liu Ergou stepped outside, he saw an acquaintance: Han Jiajia. She saw him at the sa ti.
"Er Gou, what's happening!" Han Jiajia asked, quickly approaching him. When she saw his disheveled state, she gasped. "Ah, Er Gou! You're covered in blood, and you look awful! What happened?"
Liu Ergou pointed to Ning Hua, who was lying unconscious nearby. "I don't know what happened. I ca downstairs and ran into this psycho, and she's the one who did this to !"
Hearing this, Han Jiajia frowned and shouted to her colleagues. "You two, get her in the car." Then she turned to Liu Ergou. "Er Gou, co with to give a statent, and then you can head back here. Don't worry, I'll make sure this is handled properly!"
With that, Han Jiajia prepared to leave with her team.
However, Liu Ergou shook his head, stopping her. "Jia Jia, wait. Can you not take her away just yet?"
Han Jiajia's eyes widened. "What? Why not, Er Gou? She injured you! Besides, you're the ones who called us, so we have to…"
Before Han Jiajia could finish, Liu Ergou leaned in and whispered, "Jia Jia, this woman might know my family. I want to ask her so questions first. What if this is all just a misunderstanding?"
Han Jiajia was about to refuse him outright, but seeing the hopeful look in his eyes, she could only sigh and shake her head. "Fine. But this is the only ti, Er Gou. Don't let this happen again. If there's a next ti, I'll have to treat it as you filing a false report!"
Liu Ergou imdiately nodded. Han Jiajia said no more and left with her colleagues.
Once Han Jiajia was gone, Liu Ergou turned to look at Ning Hua. But one look was all it took to make his jaw drop.
"What the hell?!" he exclaid in astonishnt, pointing at Ning Hua. "Which genius tied her up like *this*?"
He had been so preoccupied with talking to Han Jiajia that he hadn't gotten a good look at Ning Hua. Now, he discovered that soone had used a bizarre, almost legendary technique to bind her. The knots highlighted her stunning figure, making her look even more alluring.
Just then, one of the security guards stepped forward. "I did that, Boss Liu. I was worried she'd break free from conventional restraints, so I combined so binding techniques from the movies with a few of my own unique insights. That's how she ended up like this. Don't worry, there's absolutely no way she can break free!"
Seeing the guard's expectant look, Liu Ergou fell silent, unsure what to say.
Should I praise him... or chew him out?
After a long mont of hesitation, Liu Ergou finally gave the guard a thumbs-up. "That's… nice work! I'm adding five hundred to your monthly base salary. Keep up the good work!"
Seeing the thumbs-up and hearing about the raise, the guard was ecstatic. He imdiately bowed deeply to Liu Ergou. "Thank you, Boss Liu!"
Liu Ergou said nothing more to him, instead turning to the other guards. "Carry this woman to the top-floor office. I have so things to ask her."
The other guards nearby imdiately shot Liu Ergou strange looks. Their expressions were deeply suggestive.
