253: Chapter 252: Understood 253: Chapter 252: Understood “Whoosh!” Before Captain You could even cry out for his mother, he was handcuffed with a glaring set of cuffs and dragged away like a dead pig.
What is called a shocking reversal, what is called earth-shattering change, everyone around was dumbfounded.
Just a mont ago, Captain You was barking orders, and suddenly he had beco a prisoner.
Everyone sighed internally at Liu Hun’s formidable tactics.
“Imdiately return to the provincial committee for a eting!
Comb through every departnt under You Liguo and Lv Zhengsong’s connections from top to bottom, everyone follow back!” Cai Yilan gave orders with swift decisiveness, without any hesitation.
The investigation team led by Cai Yilan indeed turned Captain You’s background upside down, and now Captain You was in trouble, bringing disaster to his whole family.
However, the more important issue had not made any progress, which was about the Hala virus leak and the mysterious disappearance of its data.
Liu Hun was beginning to find the situation strange; the forces Cai Yilan had organized were supposed to be the governnt’s elite.
They nearly turned the entire College of Biology upside down but couldn’t find even a trace of a clue.
Eventually, as there were no reports of Hala virus cases and since Liu Hun was capable of treating the Hala virus, the matter had to be put on hold.
Lately, Liu Hun felt uneasy; the Hala issue was buried like a ti bomb.
Another matter also puzzled him—Li Qianqing.
After the Hala virus incident was shelved, Liu Hun tried several tis to find Li Qianqing but couldn’t even catch a glimpse of her shadow.
Just when he was worried, he received a text from Li Qianqing: “et at the Bamboo Forest Tea House at seven o’clock tonight.”
The Bamboo Forest Tea House was on the outskirts of Yuhua City, true to its na, it was filled with bamboo—and not just a small amount.
The whole place was a green expanse, as if soone had splashed paint all over.
In the serene and elegant Bamboo House, there were only Liu Hun and Li Qianqing.
He had just sat down, without speaking, when he heard Li Qianqing ask, “You’ve been frantic over the virus issue lately, haven’t you?
Have a cup of tea to calm down.” She then poured him a cup of Longjing tea.
“How did you know what I’ve been busy with?” Liu Hun asked, holding his cup.
He didn’t believe Li Qianqing could run away now.
So he planned to chat slowly, knowing more was naturally better.
“There are no walls that do not leak in this world.
The Hala virus is very dangerous.
But I’ve heard that soone was cured?
And another still ill?” Li Qianqing casually inquired while making tea, her eyes fixed on the teaware as if this was an offhand question.
Liu Hun nodded and casually said, “That day the Police special…” As he spoke, he suddenly felt that sothing was amiss.
Why would a music teacher care about this?
He stopped and turned to ask, “Why do you care about this?”
“Just asking, look how tense you are right now, you’ll be more tense later,” Li Qianqing said with a smile, her face was indeed bewitchingly charming.
Liu Hun felt that Li Qianqing’s words had an underlying aning.
Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly caught a whiff of fragrance—it wasn’t the scent of Longjing tea, but…
a faint scent of jasmine.
He imdiately beca alert; it was the scent he rembered from Li Qianqing’s apartnt, coming from that eerie man.
Liu Hun then understood what Li Qianqing’s words ant just now.
Clearly, this was about using the Zhang Family’s knife to slaughter the Li Family’s cow and wanting a share of the at.
He smiled and said to Li Qianqing, “Professor Li, you’ve invited to help you remove a thorn.
But I must say, my appearance fee isn’t cheap.”
Li Qianqing burst out laughing, sowhat shyly saying to Liu Hun, “Mr.
Liu, you are a man of great abilities.
I am but a simple woman, how could I deal with it?
I’ve been entangled for so many days.
Including last ti, consider it a debt I owe you, and I will definitely repay you properly in the future.”
“Playing tricks!” Liu Hun suddenly threw the boiling hot tea in his hand towards the nearby bamboo, and with a “whoosh,” a dozen vibrant flowers blocked the boiling water, scalded and falling to the ground.
“So skill!” A thin, sharp male voice ca from the air.
As soon as the voice dropped, the surrounding area suddenly filled with fragrance, so strong that it was nearly blinding.
“Mr.
Liu, be careful of the fragrance!” Li Qianqing covered her nose as she backed away, not forgetting to warn Liu Hun.
“Let see your skills again!
Hahaha…” After a sharp, piercing laughter, a man cradling a bouquet of flowers appeared out of thin air on the left side of Liu Hun and Li Qianqing, the sa man who had appeared in Li Qianqing’s apartnt before.
As the man appeared, the surrounding fragrance intensified.
Li Qianqing felt her consciousness beginning to blur despite her efforts to stay clear-headed.
To her astonishnt, making her jaw nearly hit the floor, Liu Hun stood there unchanged, breathing normally.
“Giving up resistance?
That’s the wise choice.
Just co with quietly and let study your body!” The man cradling the bouquet laughed even more ghastly as the fragrance around them had grown so intense it seed to condense into color.
“Last ti, you got away, and that was a fluke.
But!
There won’t be a second ti!” Liu Hun sneered, and after he finished speaking, he suddenly dashed towards the bamboo grove on the right.
Has he lost his mind?!
Or is he planning to abandon and run away?!
Li Qianqing widened her eyes, unable to co up with any explanation other than those two.
However, Liu Hun took just three steps before stopping in a spot in the bamboo grove, smiled coldly, and said, “My ‘eye’ saw through you back in the apartnt on the eleventh floor.
Playing this trick today ans you are courting death!”
After that, he perford a Dragon-Attached-Leg maneuver, forcefully stomping the ground, and with a “whoosh” ca a massive noise; scattered bamboo leaves were sent flying, and the entire bamboo forest shuddered.
Suddenly, a scream sounded, followed by a person springing out of the ground like a spring!
Li Qianqing rubbed her eyes in disbelief.
She was certain it was a person, more precisely — a dwarf!
The dwarf had been forcibly ejected from his hiding hole by Liu Hun’s kick, then caught mid-air by Liu Hun as easily as one would grab a chick.
As the fluttering bamboo leaves gradually settled, Liu Hun’s solitary figure beca clear, along with the dwarf he was holding.
Looking at the man’s back, Li Qianqing felt an indescribable complexity in her heart.
“Don’t ask how I knew you were hiding here; you don’t deserve to know the answer.” Liu Hun eyed the ugly dwarf and really found that the more deficient one was, the more they pretended.
Though short and vile in appearance, the dwarf’s created illusion was of a tall and handso man, like one who stepped out of a comic book.
“Sa old rules: I ask a question, you answer.
You only have two choices.
First, answer my questions.
Second, be forced to answer my questions.” Liu Hun stared at the dwarf, not giving him any chance to play tricks.
With the man caught in his hand, Liu Hun was ready to kick down that door!
“Who are you?” Liu Hun asked the dwarf coldly.
“Bang!”
A gunshot followed, and the dwarf’s forehead bore a tiny hole from which a drop of blood slowly trickled down.
Liu Hun whirled around to see Li Qianqing looking at him with an innocent and bewildered face, and in the bamboo grove not far behind her, a shadow hurried away.
Silencing soone!
Liu Hun glanced at the shadow and dropped the dwarf, preparing to give chase.
Suddenly, a scream pierced the air not too far away, “Ah!
Murder!”
The waiter, frightened by the previous loud noise, fled like a terrified rabbit, and within a minute, the police had arrived at the scene.
Once inside the police station, Liu Hun confird two things.
First, his Dragon Form couldn’t revive the lifeless dwarf, which he had just tested on the corpse.
Second, the waiter couldn’t possibly have called the police, as they wouldn’t have reached the scene within a minute.
Neither could the dwarf nor his assailant, so it must have been Li Qianqing!
Given that it was already 8 p.m.
by the ti Liu Hun arrived at the police station, although Chief Cao suspected that Liu Hun might have so connection to Secretary Cai, there were no concrete proofs, and it was also a murder case.
Therefore, they had no choice but to detain Liu Hun.
Yet, their investigation proceeded with unusual rapidity.
Squatting in the cell, Liu Hun pondered this puzzling matter over and over.
There were far too many oddities.
The dwarf Superpower User was clearly after Li Qianqing, but why did he seem to want to take Liu Hun back for research?
Could it be that the forces behind him had a way to transfer Superpower?
This brought to mind the provocative woman roaming around naked, and in his thoughts, it all coalesced into a huge question mark.
The next afternoon, Chief Cao ca to release Liu Hun with a gleeful look.
The results of the police investigation only served to clear Liu Hun of suspicion, with no other use to him.
The bullet was from a stolen police gun, and the angle indicated a shot fired from a distance, so Liu Hun, who was seen grabbing the dwarf by a waiter, couldn’t be the shooter.
With that, he was off the hook.
Since n and won were housed separately, Liu Hun went to look for Li Qianqing as soon as he got out, but he was inford that Li Qianqing had been released and left before him.
Once again, he lost contact with Li Qianqing.
Out of contact with Li Qianqing, and with the dwarf dead, Liu Hun’s efforts to explore the world of Superpower Users had once again dissolved into nothingness.
He was reluctant to let it go, but he was convinced these people would find him again.
However, Li Qianqing’s actions puzzled him.
Why did she care about the virus, and why did she call the police?
Two days later, Liu Hun got the answers he sought.
Huang Shun, held for inquiry in the special division of the police station, and Lv Zhengsong, who had lost his humanity, were dead!
The cause of death was unclear, but they were ruled as having died from complications of the Hala virus and the case was hastily closed.
And from Xiao Yanzhu, he learned that besides rapid cooling, the Hala virus could only survive in a living human or animal, dying within ten minutes outside a living host.
