Chapter 1103: Chapter 147: Kindred Spirits
Picked up a well-built man by the roadside, but he had amnesia. Later we discovered this well-built man actually had quite a background, being some domineering CEO type character. Then, after some indescribable stories, he successfully turned the tables, became a rich and beautiful woman, took on the role of chairman’s wife, then ‘accidentally’ led her husband to his demise, inherited a massive fortune, finally supported a few pet people, and lived a happy life, entering the ‘winners of life’ club… Impossible, absolutely impossible.
What kind of domineering CEO appears on a highway missing an arm, covered in crap, and descending justice from the sky?
“You really don’t remember anything?” Ren Ziling kept holding the branch in her hand, not letting go.
This one-armed man had actually been awake for a while, only remembering his name was Wang Hu, and nothing else.
Hmm, a domineering CEO named Wang Hu sounds way too low, which is one of the decisive factors the three women used to determine Wang Hu was definitely not a domineering CEO.
Wang Hu still shook his head—he couldn’t remember why he lost an arm, why he was covered in crap, or why he appeared as justice descending from the sky.
Additionally, there was no personal information found on Wang Hu—no wallet, no ID card.
“What do we do now?”
Leaving Wang Hu aside, the three of them began to quietly discuss—it was quite apparent from their lack of enthusiasm that they weren’t keen to take Wang Hu along due to the lack of CEO potential… In the end, they decided to just throw Wang Hu to the police.
However, they waited for several hours on the highway, and still, the police hadn’t shown up.
Impatient Ren Ziling dialed the police hotline again, only to be told by the response that the local government had decided to evacuate the townspeople early, and the police and auxiliary police were all busy maintaining order, so they couldn’t spare anyone. Then they hurriedly hung up the phone.
This was a time for inner struggle.
After all, Wang Hu had woken up, and he didn’t seem fragile enough to die easily. Maybe his family and friends were already looking for him, so maybe they shouldn’t worry about him anymore?
Even though Wang Hu was unlikely to be a domineering CEO, he obviously wasn’t an ordinary citizen either; there was definitely some unknown story behind him—according to Miss Ren’s so-called journalist intuition.
But before they could finish their struggle, a car, a different colored Santana of the same model, suddenly appeared on the highway. From the car emerged four men of varying builds.
Judging from their clothes, they seemed to be locals… Maybe. But from the look of things, these four men didn’t seem like good guys.
“Tsk tsk, miss, need some help?” The leader, a man with a little moustache, approached with a smirk and a kindly appearance—if it weren’t for the butterfly knife in his hand.
Seeing these four men closing in with bad intentions, Ren Ziling couldn’t help frowning… Though due to the fog incident, the nearby area had bee quite chaotic, with some individuals developing malicious intent and doing outrageous things. Still, Ren Ziling didn’t expect such things to land on her own head.
She quickly assessed their side’s bat capacity: Lizi was a standard foodie, exploding with unmon fighting power only if her snacks were snatched; mostly she was well-behaved and cute. As for Akiko, a third-year intern, petite and delicate, it was good enough that she wasn’t screaming… rely on herself?
Ren Ziling didn’t have the confidence to protect Lizi and Akiko against four men wielding weapons…
“Didn’t expect to hit another jackpot, and all women this time. Tsk tsk, nice figures… I’ll take this older one,” the little moustache leader laughed a few times.
“Who are you calling old??”
But before Miss Ren could lose her temper, suddenly a shadow shot out—it was Wang Hu!
Then an incredible scene unfolded.
Wang Hu charged right up, and his arm was moving so fast it looked like a blur—one punch, one thug—knocking the four thugs flying, they fell and spat blood, and couldn’t get back up.
“You okay? I saw these guys were up to no good. You saved me, so I can’t just stand by and watch,” Wang Hu turned around and said calmly. Despite missing an arm, he was exuding male hormones.
“Oh my, not a domineering CEO, but possibly a martial artist?” Ren Ziling’s eyes widened, then she shivered and rushed to the four thugs to check if they were dead.
Being robbed was one thing, but a life lost was a different matter. If Wang Hu had killed someone in protecting the three of them, that was a whole different issue.
These four thugs were barely breathing; if they hadn’t been physically robust, they might have died—though they didn’t seem far from it?
“Don’t just stand there—e help!” Ren Ziling turned back and yelled.
Lizi, without saying a word, went over to help Ren Ziling load the heavily injured onto the car.
“These guys were going to harm you. Why are you saving them?” Wang Hu furrowed his brows, “Scum should be eradicated, shouldn’t they? You saved them, and later they might continue to harm people.”
“Are you a cop?” Ren Ziling suddenly asked.
Wang Hu shook his head, “I can’t remember, but I probably am not.”
“Are you military?”
Wang Hu shook his head again.
“Then who gave you the right to kill people?” Ren Ziling shook her head, “One disagreement, and you kill the entire family? Dude, it’s not some doomsday crisis right now; order still exists, the country still stands! You think you’re powerful, just killing at will? Society may be restless, but should that justify your violent streak? Saving them isn’t about hypocrisy, it’s just respecting life.”
Wang Hu furrowed his brows but said nothing.
…
Lizi also had a driver’s license, so she drove the rented car, while Ren Ziling drove the thugs’ original car, speeding all the way to the town’s only small hospital.
Watching the four thugs being sent into the emergency room, Ren Ziling finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Ren Ziling walked to the hospital’s front desk, a bag of things beside her—items she found in the thugs’ car, likely loot from roadside robberies, probably from a stolen car.
Using the hospital phone.
“Don’t tell me there’s no time! There are four severely injured robbers here, the loot is all here, will you e or not?”
After hanging up the phone, Ren Ziling used the paper and pen at the front desk to write a few lines.
——The four guys just sent in are robbers.
——This is stolen goods!
——I’ve called the police!
Then she stuffed the paper and rushed out of the hospital, driving the hired Santana, swiftly leaving the hospital.
On the road, Ren Ziling called Wang Hu out of the car, telling him, “Just a friendly reminder, it’s best not to tell anyone you hit someone. At least you saved us, so we will pretend we didn’t know about this! Here’s some money, see that ahead? That’s the police station, just go in and tell them you’re injured and suffer from amnesia, let them help you! We are taxpayers after all, can’t let them sit back and do nothing, right? Alright, we’ll meet again if fated.”
The car sped off suddenly, leaving Wang Hu standing there as if he hadn’t reacted yet.
The car had been on the road for a while already and stopped at a red light.
At this moment, Akiko suddenly exclaimed, “Sister Ren, that guy is still behind us! He’s caught up!”
Ren Ziling was startled… Although she wasn’t driving fast, could he really catch up just by sprinting? Ren Ziling looked at the rearview mirror in surprise and found that Wang Hu was indeed behind the car.
Ren Ziling quickly pulled the car over, got out, and the three of them approached Wang Hu.
“Didn’t I tell you to go to the police station? Why are you following us?” Ren Ziling frowned.
Unexpectedly, Wang Hu said, “I’m not following you, I’m following her.”
Wang Hu glanced at Lizi at this point, furrowing his brow, “I feel like I’m the same kind as her.”
Lizi blinked, instinctively reaching into her bag of chips, but found they were finished.
“Crazy!” Ren Ziling cursed softly, grabbing Lizi with one hand. The three of them hurried into the car, “I’m warning you, stop following us!”
They accelerated and dashed forward.
Wang Hu frowned, watching the car leave, and eventually, he secretly followed. He indeed felt that the one called Lizi was of the same kind as him, but he couldn’t remember why.
Additionally, Wang Hu felt like he had forgotten many things, yet he didn’t want to remember. Somehow, using the identity of Wang Hu gave him a sense of inexplicable relief.
…
At night, a shadow silently weaved through the alley.
However, wherever this shadow passed—the ground instantly gathered a thin trace of ice as if a venomous snake, lurking in the alley.
At this moment, a man resembling a homeless person, carrying a large bag of junk, passed by—suddenly, the shadow darted out, seizing the homeless man and dragging him into the alley.
A shrill scream of terror echoed.
When the warm blood slid down its throat and entered its body, it let out a contented sound.
And the homeless man, now drained of blood, lay shriveled and lifeless.
At this moment, Hei raised its palm, and from its palm, a blue-green flame slowly rose, possessing a unique beauty… the blue-green fire gleamed, illuminating its face.
Hei stared into its palm, mesmerized by the blue-green flame… If Ming Tus Mountain were here, they might recognize this as the inplete Yan Liu.
“The Vermilion Bird Clan’s flame demonic power has pletely disappeared, replaced by this ice-like demonic power…” Yan Liu muttered to himself.
He felt exceptionally well—since birth, the tormenting terminal illness seemed to have vanished, and power continuously surged from different parts of his body.
However, at the same time, he constantly felt extremely cold—only when consuming fresh blood did this chill diminish. Yet, during the process of consuming blood, his power would strengthen.
What Yan Liu didn’t know was that he had originally undergone genetic modifications on the Raxia—intended to remove his body’s hidden dangers, resulting in a genetic transformation.
But the transformation wasn’t pleted—Ming Tus Mountain and others, for reasons unknown, released him from the container.
Although the original terminal disease was cured, the inplete modification caused other defects in his body… and his personality seemed to have changed again due to the inplete modification.
As night deepened, Yan Liu quietly ascended to the rooftop of a building overlooking the alley, gazing at the mist not far away, lost in thought.
…
…
This action squad, apart from the five Management Bureau members, also included two demons and three Taoists.
Among these Nameless Management Bureau members, two wore black hoods, exposing only their eyes and mouths—one of them had their eyes closed the entire time.
The Taoists and demons evaluated the situation after Yan Xiaoxi decided to regroup everyone and balance the strengths between the teams.
However, the other two teams had Cang Jinshui, Yan Xiaoxi, True Person Huanyang, Purple Star Young Master, etc… this team seemed the weakest.
Despite the Taoists and demons considering their own strength relatively high, pared to the big shots of the other two teams, they still had much room for improvement.
Could it be that these two hooded mysterious people are secret weapons with explosive bat power?
Regardless of whether they were secret weapons, they hoped the sixth Jade Dragon Pillar wouldn’t fall on their point.
But the goddess of luck didn’t favor them, as the least desired event unexpectedly landed on them—a flash of brilliance appeared.
A strong wind instantly swept away the surrounding thick fog, making everything visible.
At this moment, the hooded mysterious person dashed out with lightning speed to the source of the flash.
A Jade Dragon Pillar slowly rose from the ground.
The mysterious person who rushed out first was Hu, who directly slapped down on the Jade Dragon Pillar, forcibly halting its rise.
The ground trembled violently.
At this moment, a figure dashed towards the ferocious Management Bureau member with alarming speed, aiming a palm strike.
In a hurry, the fierce Management Bureau member also launched a palm strike.
With a loud bang.
The fierce figure was forced back, returning to his original position.
The attacker stood on top of the Jade Dragon Pillar—a stunningly beautiful young man… The young man looked down calmly and said, “To enter the Way through martial arts and achieve such feats in the mortal world… You must be the one known as the strongest human, the Fiery Cloud Evil God?”
