After Xiao Tian disappeared along the bullet’s trajectory, Lu Sen, before he could even feel surprised, witnessed a scene that filled him with overwhelming regret.
Lu Kai, who was in the process of being amputated, was shot in the temple. A rush of red and white fluid gushed from the wound.
The doctor holding the electric saw, the nurse holding the syringe, as well as Lu Kai’s hooligan friends and the onlookers stood frozen in place, incredulously watching Lu Kai’s blood cover the stone table, dripping down one by one...
"Murder!"
A terrified shout suddenly erupted from the crowd. The muscular man and the backpacker from earlier no longer cared about the 500 yuan bet and, along with the crowd, squeezed their way to escape the scene.
Lu Sen, having run only two steps, collapsed helplessly to the ground. The gun in his hand fell out, yet he still desperately crawled toward his nephew’s body.
In a daze, he vaguely saw a chubby little boy bidding him farewell, just like Lu Kai when he was a child.
mories flooded his mind, and before he knew it, Lu Sen was already shedding old tears.
With the gunshot’s outbreak, police cars soon roared in with sirens blaring. After stopping, they quickly held the rich individuals at gunpoint, and the leading officer walked up to Xiao Tian and gave a serious salute.
"Commander!"
After returning the salute, Xiao Tian said, "The specifics are recorded on the law enforcent devices; you can check for yourself!"
"Commander, these people..." The police officer, whose rank was evidently higher than Lu Sen’s, said with so difficulty, "I’m afraid we can’t detain all of them..."
"I know!"
Xiao Tian said calmly, "I won’t ddle with what happens next!"
The police officer breathed a sigh of relief, watching Xiao Tian’s back as he left. He then began to take charge of cleaning up the ss.
Looking at the fallen, aged Lu Sen on the ground, the leading officer sighed and could only lant that evil deeds et their due punishnt!
——
"Young Master Zhong, wait!"
Hearing soone call out to him, Xiao Tian turned around to see Ren Wenshan, wearing a mask, jogging towards him.
Ren Wenshan certainly didn’t know what being the eldest of the Zhong Family signified, but years of reading faces and flattering taught him one thing: the person before him was certainly more formidable than his previous master, the Lu Family!
"It’s you!" Xiao Tian chuckled quietly and then asked curiously, "Why are you so obviously looking for trouble with the Lu Family? Are you in a hurry to die?"
Having previously witnessed Lu Kai forcing Yaoyao to drink dichlorvos, Xiao Tian naturally knew that part of the current situation was facilitated by the person in front of him, so he naturally didn’t have a good expression toward him.
He was just very curious about this. What exactly gives soone as insignificant as an ant the courage to offend the local tyrants of the Lu Family?
It couldn’t be just to hang on to himself, Xiao Tian absolutely didn’t believe that!
This kind of small fry wouldn’t dare betray their master so blatantly unless they were completely sure they could handle the Lu Family’s revenge, or they had a death wish.
The forr seed to be the most likely scenario, leaving Xiao Tian puzzled about where this guy got his confidence from!
"Young Master Zhong, for my earlier assistance, could I ask you for a Protective Talisman?!"
Xiao Tian knew that he was stalling for ti. If he acknowledged this favor, Ren Wenshan would obviously have more excessive requests, and if he admitted to this favor, he’d reveal his hand.
Not wanting to waste ti on such a person, Xiao Tian straightforwardly said, "Do you think without you, I couldn’t take care of Lu Kai? Or do you think you played such a significant role? So, no!"
Seeing Xiao Tian about to leave, Ren Wenshan finally showed a look of urgency and quickly said, "Is Young Master Zhong’s current journey to Lu Province related to the Dao Yi Sect?"
Just as he finished speaking, Ren Wenshan felt a powerful hand gripping his neck, lifting him off the ground.
Unable to breathe, he flailed his legs in the air, struggling to pry the hand off his neck.
Just when his consciousness was fading, the grip on his neck relaxed, and he fell to the ground.
Propping himself up with one hand and clutching his chest with the other, Ren Wenshan took deep breaths as if a fish returned to water from the shore.
"Who told you that?"
Listening to Xiao Tian’s icy voice, Ren Wenshan knew that if he dared to utter a single lie, he would imdiately follow in Lu Kai’s footsteps.
Imagining Lu Kai’s chilling screams, Ren Wenshan quickly said, "No one, I figured it out myself!"
Fearing Xiao Tian wouldn’t believe him, Ren Wenshan hastily added, "I know you and President Le ca from Shanghai, and the incident with Saintly Virtue Daoist of the Dao Yi Sect also happened in Shanghai."
"I don’t know how you saved President Le, but it’s clear she didn’t inform you in advance!"
Ren Wenshan glanced cautiously at Xiao Tian, noticing he remained unmoved, so he continued, "Because if it had been arranged in advance, based on your behavior style, it would’ve been impossible for you to wait until President Le jumped to save her!"
"Since it wasn’t prearranged, it must have been fortuitous." Ren Wenshan continued his deduction: "Then your purpose for coming here can only be related to the Dao Yi Sect!"
Ren Wenshan paused after speaking, awaiting Xiao Tian’s reaction.
In truth, he was unsure. Hatred for Lu Kai had made him stand out at the ti; upon reflection, he could only seek help from Xiao Tian afterward.
If he guessed correctly, everything would be easier to handle because he just happened to know top-secret information about the Dao Yi Sect.
If he was wrong, he would have to pack up and flee imdiately!
Fortunately, he soon realized he had likely guessed correctly!
With an unchanged expression, Xiao Tian coldly said, "Continue."
"If the Young Master’s purpose here involves the Dao Yi Sect, it just so happens I know a secret intelligence about the Dao Yi Sect..."
Ren Wenshan habitually put on a fawning look and said, "I am willing to reveal this intel unreservedly, only hoping that after you listen, you can help and my family leave Lu Province!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian’s expression finally changed. Although he was determined to obtain the Life Seal, gaining more knowledge about the opponent could never hurt!
"Tell first!"
Ren Wenshan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My elder cousin is one of the twenty major elders of the Dao Yi Sect. The last ti I spoke with him on the phone, he revealed he’s currently in Qing Province."
"He is accompanied by fifteen other fellow disciples, and even the Sect Leader personally leads the group. Now the Dao Yi Sect has deployed all their forces, leaving only the Saintly Virtue Daoist to guard the mountain!"
After speaking, Ren Wenshan carefully observed Xiao Tian’s expression and found him slightly frowning, seemingly pondering sothing.
"Does this information help you?" Ren Wenshan asked nervously, fearing a negative response. Xiao Tian was now his last lifeline, and without it, he would genuinely need to flee to the ends of the earth!
