Chapter 711

~11 min read 2,059 words

Seeing Hu Di was now carried onto a bed in a sealed space, thick quilts pressing down on him; half of Seeing Hu Di's face was buried in the pillow, eyes lowered, still wearing an expression devoid of life.

Fearing he would commit suicide, the police stuffed a piece of gauze in his mouth, then ordered someone to watch him twenty-four hours a day, absolutely ensuring no accident occurred.

Yet accidents often catch people off guard.

At three in the morning, three cars parked beside the Jingju Sect.

Inside the three cars sat men holding long guns; the drivers parked the cars at the Jingju Sect entrance, then people got out one after another.

They covered their faces and bodies extremely tightly, wearing black long robes identical to Seeing Hu Di's. The leader looked up at the Jingju Sect and pulled the trigger.

"Bang—"

The gunshot tore through the night sky, shattering the Jingju Sect's glass door. Men in black clothes pressed close together as they burst into the Jingju Sect, eyes beneath sunglasses observing the devices inside.

They came with fierce momentum; only two police officers were on duty, and before they could even grab the guns at their waists, they were killed by sudden bullets, each shot striking the center of the forehead.

After dealing with these two duty officers, the gunshots alerted more police resting inside the Jingju Sect. Yet there were far more men in black, holding overwhelming advantage; almost everything inside the Jingju Sect was overturned, police corpses lay on the floor, and guns scattered across the ground.

The men in black shot the lock hanging on the interrogation room, removed it, kicked the door open, and searched inside room by room.

When they discovered the person inside was not the one they sought, they hesitated not, pulled the trigger, and shot the person dead immediately.

Finally, they found the interrogation room where Seeing Hu Di was held.

The men in black kicked the door open; two people went in, lifted Seeing Hu Di from the bed, and carried him out of the interrogation room, their movements surprisingly gentle. After leading the person away, the two lowered their heads and said something into their walkie-talkie; as they left the Jingju Sect, they heard continuous gunshots echoing from within.

Seeing Hu Di was stuffed into a car, with his subordinates seated on his left and right. Only after getting into the car did Seeing Hu Di fade that numb, calm expression; raising his eyes, he glanced at the front passenger seat, a cold sneer rising in his throat: "You came very late."

The person in the front passenger seat familiarly lit a cigarette, and between puffs lowered his voice: "People on that side held me up; I came to pick you up after dealing with them."

Hearing this, Seeing Hu Di said no more; he turned his head to look out the window and said, "Find that doctor and fix my crippled hands again."

Li Yu turned his head to look once; his expression was indistinct amidst the rising smoke, his gaze circling over Seeing Hu Di's two exposed arms; he raised an eyebrow: "Difficult."

Seeing Hu Di said, "They must be cured."

Li Yu tugged at his lips: "That old man still refuses to come; if I hadn't held a gun to his Sun Nu's forehead, he would probably still be in Europe." He lowered his head again and took a drag of smoke. "With his medical skill, your hands should be curable."

Seeing Hu Di's expression showed a hint of irritation, as if dissatisfied with Li Yu's words: "I don't want to hear 'should'. By the way, investigate someone."

"Who?" Li Yu naturally followed up. "Oh, the one who broke your hands?"

"Mm." Seeing Hu Di was clearly suppressing anger; his hand hung powerlessly on his leg, a knife scar on his arm glaringly obvious.

Li Yu reached out, placed the computer on his lap, ground the cigarette into the ashtray, and said, "What is the name?"

"I don't know," Seeing Hu Di's gaze fell on his own arm, a clearly visible venom in his eyes. "He should be a Chinese national."

"Then how do I find him?" Li Yu's fingers tapped the keyboard. "Give me a name and I can find him."

Seeing Hu Di looked out the window: "No need; perhaps I know who that person is."

Hearing him say this, Li Yu in the front seat became somewhat interested; he asked, "Who?"

Seeing Hu Di said calmly: "I don't know if you remember the matter involving the Gulf Family before."

Hearing this, Li Yu's expression went blank for an instant, but then seemed to react immediately; he almost instantly turned his head to look at Seeing Hu Di: "Gulf Family? You mean the Gulf Family?"

Seeing Hu Di nodded.

"So it was him... so it was him..." Li Yu grabbed his hair, muttered irritably, "If it is him, then it makes sense."

Seeing Hu Di said: "Actually, I guessed it too, but among the people I know, only he fits this condition. If I recall correctly, that person should be named Did Ning Chen, right?"

Seeing Hu Di had once heard this person's name from subordinates and also heard of Did Ning Chen's deeds; what surprised him most was that Did Ning Chen once fought the entire Gulf Family alone.

If the speaker had not been his capable subordinate, Seeing Hu Di would not have believed it; perhaps because the impact this matter brought was too great, Seeing Hu Di remembered this person after hearing his name only once.

After saying the name, Li Yu immediately searched for "Did Ning Chen", filtered out a large portion of conditions, and the rest left were the information he truly wanted.

Li Yu looked at Did Ning Chen's life history, then hacked into a system; that system showed Did Ning Chen's deeds over the years; although not every detail was included, it was enough for him to understand this person.

Yet for some reason, Did Ning Chen's deeds decreased greatly from four years ago; a normal person should have twenty or thirty entries a year, but Did Ning Chen's deeds in those few years shrank to three.

This was strange; a normal person's life history would almost never show such a change, unless Did Ning Chen encountered something during these four years, or someone deliberately concealed it for him.

Li Yu frowned, his fingers dragging the page, flipping up and down repeatedly, roughly scanning Did Ning Chen's deeds from birth to present, but no matter how he looked, he felt Did Ning Chen was just an ordinary normal person.

Except for the reduced deeds from four years ago to now.

Truly no clues could be seen; Li Yu lifted the computer, brought the screen close to Seeing Hu Di in the back seat, and said: "It feels like an ordinary person; did you misremember the person's name?"

Seeing Hu Di shook his head: "Impossible; my memory has always been good. Look carefully; there should be something we missed."

Hearing this, Li Yu "Mm", Yue Feiqun?! 85:; 76634,42, free, extract times:: dimension, chicken hedgehog'' pineapple look group?? brief, intro!? add 8

Daily updates of a hundred books, "free find books", "irregularly release new books" he said: "Perhaps, but I can't find it. Must search other systems; very troublesome."

Hearing this, Seeing Hu Di's gaze circled his own arm once and said: "We must find it; this time we bring more people and settle the Gulf Family's grudge as well."

"That has nothing to do with us," Li Yu said. "The Gulf Family being wiped out is what they deserved; they made too many enemies; don't you understand the principle that a tall tree invites the wind? Without Did Ning Chen, other organizations and families would have handled them; they were bound to fall eventually."

Seeing Hu Di said: "But Did Ning Chen must die. I can ignore the Gulf Family's matter."

Li Yu rubbed his chin: "It's a bit difficult; that person is not easy to deal with... but what exactly did you go through back then? How could anyone get close to you?"

Hearing someone mention this, Li Yu's expression darkened: "How would I know? At that time, I just felt a sudden daze, and inexplicably a scar appeared on my hand. I didn't even know when it showed up."

Li Yu seemed to find it strange as well: "Since you say that, it makes it even stranger. From your description, you lost sensation for just an instant, and a scar inexplicably appeared on your hand. Do you still remember when you first saw Ning Chen's face?"

This question was indeed crucial. After his hand injury, Hu Di's mind also seemed much more muddled, not as clear and sharp as before. Hearing Li Yu say this, he finally thought it through properly.

That scene from back then repeated in his mind again; that was when he first saw Ning Chen...

When was it that he first saw Ning Chen...?

It seemed he saw him at the entrance of the Zhangpeng Sect.

But after Hu Di discovered his hand was crippled, what time was it then? Where was Ning Chen at that time?

Those images flashed one by one through Hu Di's mind like slides. Even though pain still lingered in his arm, Hu Di's mind was still sharp. He reconstructed the situation exactly as it happened, and cold sweat immediately streamed down from his temples.

"... At that time, I first saw him at the entrance of the Zhangpeng Sect," Hu Di said slowly, "but the second time I saw him, he was standing behind me. My hands were crippled, and the group behind me was almost entirely killed."

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt the temperature in the car drop sharply.

Li Yu couldn't help but shiver, turning back to look at Hu Di, fear he hadn't even noticed in his own eyes in his gaze: "Are you saying... he is not human?"

Hu Di fell silent for a moment, seeming to hesitate over what answer to give Li Yu, but in the end, Hu Di seemed unable to give a definite answer, so he tentatively said: "... No."

Li Yu was completely speechless now. He also felt Ning Chen was no ordinary person, but he never thought Ning Chen was actually not human.

But if he is not human, then what is he?

Li Yu rubbed his own chin, feeling he should find it hard to answer, and thinking of Ning Chen possibly fighting as his enemy, he couldn't stop worrying.

The next day, Ning Chen received notice that people had been kidnapped from the Jingju Sect.

When he heard this news, he still thought the person was joking, but when he heard the voice on the phone was urgent and serious, Ning Chen realized that someone had indeed broken into the Jingju Sect and kidnapped the people out.

So he borrowed a car, drove at breakneck speed, and arrived at the entrance of the Jingju Sect. Before even reaching the Jingju Sect, he saw a crowd gathered in front of the police station, heads huddled together, not knowing what they were looking at.

Ning Chen got out of the car and immediately walked over to stand at the edge of the crowd. From his position, he could vaguely hear some content, but actually couldn't hear it very clearly. The police station was locked down at this time, but someone saw Ning Chen arrive and still brought him inside.

After Ning Chen entered the Jingju Sect, he discovered how fierce the battle had been the night before. Several police officers lay dead on the ground, and their bodies had not yet been removed. Besides that, there were bullet marks everywhere.

It was as if some terrorist organization had suddenly attacked.

Ning Chen almost confirmed that those people had come to kidnap someone, and he instinctively thought of one person.

Hu Di.

If nothing unexpected happened, the true target of those people should have been Hu Di, so everyone in the entire police station was dead, because that organization had no use for useless people.
