Chapter 551: Who do you think you are?

~8 min read 1,476 words

Chen Guanlou looked at Wang Wu, who was standing behind Seeing Qi Wuxiu.

"What is going on?"

Covered in blood—did he just kill someone?

At the mention of this, Seeing Qi Wuxiu looked devastated and agitated. He said to Wang Wu, "You say it yourself, or should I say it for you?"

Wang Wu's lips moved a few times, and finally he opened his mouth, but his voice was like a mosquito. Fortunately, Chen Guanlou's five senses were keen, so he could hear clearly what the other party was saying.

"I caused a big disaster, I, I killed someone. I'm afraid it will implicate Master. Please, Uncle Lou, save my life!"

The last 'save my life' was shouted from his throat, shaking his ears with pain.

After shouting, Wang Wu knelt on the ground and wouldn't get up. His face was covered in blood, paired with those dead eyes, as if possessed by an evil ghost. In the middle of the night, it was truly scary.

"What exactly happened? Who did he kill?" Chen Guanlou asked Seeing Qi Wuxiu.

Seeing Qi Wuxiu sighed, looking back with regret. "Recently, I was ordered to monitor a household. You might know that monitoring people is actually very boring. This kid Wang Wu pretended to be a waiter in a restaurant, and because that household was holding a banquet, he took the opportunity to mix in, got familiar with a few servants inside, and often hung out with that group of people gambling."

"And then?"

"Then he got to know a few masters of that household."

Chen Guanlou frowned slightly, staring at Seeing Qi Wuxiu; he couldn't explain a matter clearly for half a day.

"Wang Wu, who exactly did you kill?"

"I, I, I killed the youngest son and daughter-in-law of that household."

"Why did you kill?"

"They looked down on me and humiliated me. Especially that woman, her mouth was particularly vicious, and her words were particularly unpleasant. That family's son wasn't a good thing either; he actually dared to deduct my wages and called people to beat me out. Although I, Wang Wu, was born lowly, I am not someone anyone can step on and shit on. The more I thought about it, the angrier I got; the more I thought about it, the angrier I got. After observing for a period of time and finding an opportunity, I..."

"Do you think you're particularly aggrieved, and that you're justified in killing?" Seeing Qi Wuxiu slapped Wang Wu's face in anger. "A life for a life; wait to go to the execution ground."

Wang Wu's face was slapped, but he had no resentment. But he still had an unconvinced expression. "Even if it's a life for a life, I don't regret it. Relying on having a bit of stinky money, they dared to humiliate me wantonly; I didn't kill their whole family, only the culprits, which is already extremely restrained."

"Shut up. What qualifications do you have to kill, why did you kill? That couple only scolded you and didn't harm your life; a small punishment would have been enough, why did you have to kill? Did I not remind you that in an operation, everything must be reported and you cannot act privately? You've caused a big disaster, do you know that?"

Seeing Qi Wuxiu was so angry that his eyes went black. He treated his apprentice Wang Wu sincerely, but he didn't expect Wang Wu to cause such a big disaster for him.

The case hadn't been officially handled yet, and it was still in the monitoring stage, yet he killed people.

Seeing Qi Wuxiu didn't know how to explain it to the higher-ups or how to save Wang Wu's life.

Wang Wu was clearly unconvinced; his expression clearly didn't think he had done anything wrong. Anyone who dared to humiliate him deserved to die. Especially rich people humiliating him—they deserved to die even more.

"Born with rebellious bones; killing and causing trouble is sooner or later." Chen Guanlou comforted Seeing Qi Wuxiu.

It would have been better not to comfort him.

Seeing Qi Wuxiu felt like dying. "Wang Wu, you're only so big, your hair hasn't even grown out yet, and you're killing people. If I hadn't been watching you, you would already be in the death row prison."

Wang Wu had an unrepentant appearance, just muttering in a low voice: "They deserved to die!"

"I have no way with this kid; I regret not listening to you at the beginning. This kid is no longer suitable to stay in the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Brother Chen, do you have any way to save his life?"

Chen Guanlou kept a straight face. "A life for a life, and two innocent people at that. Are you sure you want to save his life? He is born bloodthirsty; saving his life, he will kill again in the future."

"Could I just watch him go to his death? He is still young, he..."

Seeing Qi Wuxiu couldn't go on and sighed mournfully.

Chen Guanlou glanced at the bowing Wang Wu; a trace of regret flashed in the other party's eyes. But this regret wasn't for killing people, but for not killing them secretly enough, implicating Seeing Qi Wuxiu.

Barely still had a little conscience.

"He deserves to die!"

Chen Guanlou said sonorously.

Seeing Qi Wuxiu didn't make a sound; his expression was very dejected.

Wang Wu looked up suddenly, appearing very surprised. Surprised that Chen Guanlou actually wouldn't help him.

"You shut up! You bastard, if I had known you were such a thing, I shouldn't have brought you into the Embroidered Uniform Guard. You, you kill at the drop of a hat; in the future, will you kill anyone who looks at you unpleasantly?"

Wang Wu opened his mouth to refute, his lips moved a few times, but finally he didn't make a sound.

Chen Guanlou was silent for a moment and asked Wang Wu, "Like killing people that much? Killing at the drop of a hat?"

"I..."

Perhaps it was the intuition of a bloodthirsty person, Wang Wu was very afraid of Chen Guanlou; he couldn't even speak clearly in front of the other party. Even if he had great anger, great dissatisfaction, facing the other party, he subconsciously became cautious. He was only afraid of saying the wrong thing and angering the other party.

"I don't know what's going on? That woman's mouth opened and closed, saying those mean and vicious words, and I couldn't control myself; I wanted to cut off her mouth on the spot, cut off her throat... My brain kept flashing various ways to kill... just like killing a pig."

"How did you kill?"

"Cut the throat!"

"Why?"

"Just like killing a pig, one strike to kill, fast and steady."

"What about that man, just because he drove you away?"

"He and his wife were equally vicious, not treating people as people. His wife was charging at the front, he was hiding at the back and planning. I saw it clearly; that man's eyes were more vicious than his wife's."

"Don't you know that killing is against the law?"

"I didn't think that much."

"You work in the Embroidered Uniform Guard, you should learn the laws. Your master will also teach you what should be done and what should not be done. Don't look at the Embroidered Uniform Guard's reputation; in fact, there are many restrictions when handling cases. You know all this, why were you so impulsive? Didn't you think about the consequences, didn't you consider your master's situation?"

"I, I, I... I didn't think about that much at the time."

"Surrender! Your master treats you well, don't implicate him. If you are lucky enough not to die, come find me again."

Wang Wu looked up suddenly, appearing very surprised. Surprised that Chen Guanlou actually wouldn't help him.

Chen Guanlou looked at the other party with cold eyes. "If that couple was extremely evil, killing them would be fine, and I would protect you myself. But you killed just because of a verbal dispute; there's no way to help with this."

"That couple must have harmed people's lives!" Wang Wu roared.

"What does that have to do with you!" Chen Guanlou mocked. "Who are you? Are you the embodiment of justice, a hero who punishes evil and promotes good, or a fair law enforcer? The Embroidered Uniform Guard is investigating that family, which means if they really harmed people's lives, the Embroidered Uniform Guard will catch them sooner or later. Anyone who enters the Imperial Prison will at least lose half a layer of skin. You are just an unofficial member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, a small pawn; what qualifications do you have to kill? Just because you were unhappy. Who do you think you are?" ===== CHAPTER 552 =====
