Chapter 1758: Looking Cool

The surging electrical arcs gradually dissipated in the nothingness.

The equipment in the Power Plant collapsed completely with a loud roar. In an instant, the numerous hanging electric lights also burst open, the scarlet light all extinguishing, and darkness enveloped the factory once again.

Hazy starlight spilled in from the factory windows through the clouds, dispelling a corner of the darkness.

Three charred black corpses fell messily on the factory floor. They stared in astonishment, as if they saw something unbelievable before they died...

In the dimness, a figure covered in wounds stumbled to his feet from the other side.

Li Shangfeng stepped over the three's corpses step by step, walking slowly and firmly to Li Wanhua's side. He reached out his hands to pick his sister up, but when he saw that pair of arms full of sharp part fragments, radiating cold light under the starlight like a monster, his hands paused in mid-air just like that.

Li Shangfeng could imagine what he looked like right now. His skin was charred black like a mummy, his whole body was covered in shattered wounds, and his hands were even more like a chainsaw maniac, savage and terrifying...

Seeing him, she would probably be startled again, and then turn her head to really sever their sibling relationship, right?

At this moment, a touch of inferiority complex very similar to Li Laide flashed through Li Shangfeng's eyes. He subconsciously withdrew his hands... Right at this moment, a pair of slender fingers instead gently grasped his shattered arms.

Seeing Li Wanhua's teary eyes, Li Shangfeng froze slightly.

"You..."

"You what you! Hurry and carry me on your back!" Li Wanhua curled her lips and glared at him. "Seeing my leg is broken, you don't want this sister anymore, right! Let me tell you Li Shangfeng, if you dare to abandon me, this old lady won't let you off!"

Li Shangfeng blanked for a long time. Seeing that Li Wanhua was about to hit someone, he finally came back to his senses. He hurriedly turned around, letting Li Wanhua's hands hug his shoulders, and then carried her on his back...

At the same time, Li Wanhua's voice came gently from his ear:

"Hey, Li Shangfeng..."

"You look just like the chainsaw man in the comic books... quite cool."

"Next time when you go to my school for the parent-teacher meeting, go just like this, you'll definitely charm those male classmates in our class to death."

Li Shangfeng smiled.

His smile reached his ears. After a moment of silence, he replied:

"Not only the male classmates... their parents will also be charmed to death by me!"

Even though there was constant pain coming from his body, Li Shangfeng's heart had never been so settled. Warmth spread from his back all the way to his heart, making his whole person warm and cozy.

He was still alive, his sister was still alive, they still depended on each other for survival...

This was the best ending.

Carrying his sister on his back, Li Shangfeng stumbled out of the factory. The hazy starlight flickered above his head. When fresh air drilled into his nasal cavity, a surge of rejoicing for surviving a disaster welled up in his heart.

He seemed to remember something and looked back at that pitch-black and empty factory...

There seemed to be nothing inside.

But...

Was there really nothing?

The corners of Li Shangfeng's mouth curled up slightly. Carrying his sister, he bowed deeply to the empty factory and spoke solemnly:

"Although I don't know who you are, but..."

"Thank you."

Not knowing if it was his illusion, at the instant he thanked them, bursts of playful laughter and mocking voices drilled into his mind... Those voices were so unfamiliar, yet made people feel close.

When Li Shangfeng listened carefully again, those voices seemed to have disappeared. He shook his head, stopped overthinking, and directly walked down the mountain carrying his sister.

...

The good news was, there was a Clinic at the foot of the mountain. Li Shangfeng settled the broken-legged Li Wanhua there and asked the Doctor to help treat her.

After he paid the fees and finished pleading with the Doctor, just as he was about to turn around and leave, a hand tightly grasped the hem of his clothes...

"Brother."

"...Where are you going?"

Li Shangfeng turned his head back, only to see a pair of reddened eyes looking at him... Li Wanhua's face was filled with worry and reluctance.

"The people who kidnapped you have quite a big background... Brother has to go out and thoroughly resolve this matter." Li Shangfeng gently stroked her head. His tone was rarely gentle, and his gaze looking out the window was rarely cold.

"I'm fine, really." Li Wanhua still grabbed the hem of his clothes tightly. "Can we not go resolve it? Just stay here with me, and then we'll go home..."

"No..." Li Shangfeng shook his head without hesitation,

"If this matter isn't resolved, what happened tonight might happen a second or third time... As long as we are in the Chengtian Domain, we can't escape their grasp. And they control the Domain Trains, we can't leave either..."

"Some things must eventually have an outcome."

Li Wanhua's already weak face became even paler. For a time, she didn't know what to say, just fearfully clutching Li Shangfeng, refusing to let go.

Seeing his sister like this, Li Shangfeng also felt incomparably uncomfortable. If possible, he also didn't want to leave when Li Wanhua had a fracture... but he knew he had no other choice.

Although he had resolved those three who kidnapped Li Wanhua now, the Taishi Division was still there, Brand was still there. He had killed their people, they wouldn't just let things rest. And their target was none other than himself. If he proactively went to their door, no matter the outcome...

At least, it wouldn't involve Li Wanhua.

Li Shangfeng took this opportunity to stuff both Gold Bars into Li Wanhua's embrace:

"Don't worry, your brother has a tough life, nothing will happen to me... but no matter what happens, live on well, understand?"

"Brother!!!"

Li Wanhua couldn't hold it back anymore, tears continuously surging out of her eye sockets. She reached out again to grab the hem of Li Shangfeng's clothes, but the latter gently took a step back...

Then, taking a deep look at her, he plunged into the deep night without looking back.

...

Xuanwu Great Avenue.

Figures wearing dark outer garments walked out from the Chengtian Prefecture. While stepping down the stairs, they whispered to each other.

"Strange matter... perfectly fine, why did they send us to patrol Xuanwu Great Avenue?"

"Isn't this a good thing! Patrolling Xuanwu Great Avenue is the safest, nothing has happened in over a hundred years. Moreover, we can freely patrol the shops and official residences of the various families on this Xuanwu Great Avenue... This is immense power!"

"Yeah, in the entire Chengtian Domain, which noble family or merchant guild isn't jealous of this piece of cake? My dad used his connections for so long to barely find a way to stuff me in... Before I thought this matter fell through, unexpectedly, there's a turning point now!"

"Haha! I never thought I would have the time to wear this dark clothing too! So majestic! Later I have to stroll around the entrance of my family's mansion more, let those small fries know, do they think they are worthy of fighting with me for the hereditary noble title?"
