Chapter 234: Want to Kill Me?

In the cinema, the fifth-layer fighter Zhong Zhong Guoshu pressed his knife against Xiao Xiao Zhenggong's ribs.

Xiao Xiao Zhenggong looked indifferent, neither calling for help nor taking action, just watching the other party quietly.

Zhong Zhong Guoshu added some force to his hand; he wanted to make Xiao Xiao Zhenggong bleed, but not fatally. A fifth-layer martial cultivator had enough control.

But the short knife kept adding force, yet it couldn't break the skin.

Zhong Zhong Guoshu looked at Xiao Xiao Zhenggong in surprise.

According to the Dark Star Bureau's data, Xiao Xiao Zhenggong was a third-layer fighter; he couldn't possibly withstand the force of a fifth-layer fighter.

Was he wearing armor?

Or was he carrying some kind of magic treasure?

Xiao Xiao Zhenggong laughed, suddenly grabbing Zhong Zhong Guoshu's wrist.

Zhong Zhong Guoshu was shocked, struggling to pull his hand back, but Xiao Xiao Zhenggong pressed his palm down, lifted his fingers, and exerted force with precision, breaking Zhong Zhong Guoshu's wrist.

Xiao Xiao Zhenggong's move was precise and fluid; Zhong Zhong Guoshu couldn't make any reaction.

The short knife fell to the ground. Zhong Zhong Guoshu endured the excruciating pain without making a sound.

He knew he was no match for Xiao Xiao Zhenggong and tried to get up to escape.

Xiao Xiao Zhenggong grabbed Zhong Zhong Guoshu by the collar and threw him onto the wooden seat.

The wooden seat was smashed, and the iron frame under the seat was bent.

Zhong Zhong Guoshu wanted to get up, but Xiao Xiao Zhenggong stepped on him.

*Crack, crack*, sounds rang out, and several of Zhong Zhong Guoshu's ribs were broken.

Hearing the fighting, Lightbulb and Star rushed over.

The two just watched without reaching out.

Star was someone who cherished his life. He usually didn't rush in such situations, but he shouted loudly: "What happened? Who is this?"

Lightbulb didn't rush up, nor did he say much. He had suffered a loss at Xiao Xiao Zhenggong's hands and just watched from the side.

He was right not to move; he was just a first-layer "Lubricator" (Oil cultivator) who had just reached that level last month.

Zhong Zhong Guoshu was a fifth-layer fighter. If something really went wrong, Lightbulb would lose his life in minutes.

As expected, something went wrong.

Star was about to put on the handcuffs when a man suddenly drilled out from under the seat and kicked Star over.

Star went into shock immediately and lost consciousness.

Lightbulb, covered in oil, ran to the distance.

The fifth-layer recluse, Duan Duan Xiangwen, had taken action.

Using the characteristic that recluses were easily overlooked, Duan Duan Xiangwen seized the opportunity to get close.

He flicked his hand and sprinkled a bag of corrosive powder.

Xiao Xiao Zhenggong thought it was poison and hurriedly held his breath.

Unexpectedly, it was corrosive powder, which caused excruciating pain like fire when it landed on his body.

What kind of combat technique was this?

Wouldn't Duan Duan Xiangwen himself be hurt by the powder?

He would.

But the recovery ability of a recluse was stronger than that of a dark energy cultivator of the same level.

This bag of corrosive powder was specially made by Duan Duan Xiangwen, with the purpose of letting both the enemy and himself get hurt, and then using his own powerful recovery ability to grind the enemy to death.

In a bitter battle, this was also a good choice, but the premise was that the opponent was of the same level as him.

Xiao Xiao Zhenggong's level was not the same as Duan Duan Xiangwen's. This amount of reagent only made Xiao Xiao Zhenggong feel slight discomfort.

He tore off the clothes from Star and wiped the powder off his face. Duan Duan Xiangwen took advantage of this moment to take Zhong Zhong Guoshu and rush toward the door.

Xiao Xiao Zhenggong was still wiping his face, very calmly.

Seeing Duan Duan Xiangwen rush to the door, Xiao Xiao Zhenggong picked up a piece of broken wood from the ground and threw it out.

The broken wood pierced accurately into Duan Duan Xiangwen's spine. Duan Duan Xiangwen stumbled and fell to the ground with Zhong Zhong Guoshu.

In the hands of a high-level martial cultivator, all objects were excellent weapons.

Xiao Xiao Zhenggong walked toward the two step by step.

Duan Duan Xiangwen's lower body couldn't move. He took out a mud doll from his bosom and threw it at Xiao Xiao Zhenggong.

The mud doll hovered in mid-air, spitting a sheet of flames at Xiao Xiao Zhenggong.

Xiao Xiao Zhenggong walked forward through the flames. Not only was he unhurt, but even his clothes didn't catch fire.

This was the resistance of a high-level martial cultivator. Whether it was sharp blades or water and fire, this level of attack had no effect on Xiao Xiao Zhenggong.

He grabbed the mud doll in mid-air, took a look, and laughed: "Golden House Hides Beauty. I have to say, the thing is made quite exquisitely."

The mud doll was crushed by Xiao Xiao Zhenggong and thrown to the ground.

Duan Duan Xiangwen shouted at Xiao Xiao Zhenggong: "I can't walk, you shouldn't take action against someone who can't resist!"

Xiao Xiao Zhenggong was startled and nodded: "Deep mansion and large courtyard, this is the ability of your house spirit.

What a pity, your house spirit is a Virtue cultivator. The thing I loathe most is Virtue cultivators."

As he spoke, Xiao Xiao Zhenggong had already stood in front of the two.

Zhong Zhong Guoshu suddenly got up, hugged Xiao Xiao Zhenggong tightly, and turned back to say to Duan Duan Xiangwen: "Go!"

Duan Duan Xiangwen didn't go, and he couldn't go. He still wanted to fight Xiao Xiao Zhenggong to the death.

"Quite loyal!" Xiao Xiao Zhenggong kicked Zhong Zhong Guoshu away, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it at Duan Duan Xiangwen's head.

The stone was like a bullet, piercing directly through Duan Duan Xiangwen's skull. Duan Duan Xiangwen died on the spot.

Xiao Xiao Zhenggong turned back and grabbed Zhong Zhong Guoshu by the hair, lifted him from the ground, and asked: "Who exactly sent you?"

Zhong Zhong Guoshu's expression was stiff. He looked at Xiao Xiao Zhenggong, twitched a few times, and then stopped breathing.

He had taken poison and committed suicide.

Xiao Xiao Zhenggong returned to the cinema and looked at Star lying on the ground, asking Lightbulb: "Is he still alive?"

Lightbulb retracted his grease and looked at Star: "Can't be sure yet."

"Then hurry up and be sure. If he's alive, call an ambulance; if he's dead, send him to the funeral home!" Xiao Xiao Zhenggong left the cinema directly.

While driving, Xiao Xiao Zhenggong had been thinking about a question.

Who exactly sent these two people?

He knew he had quite a few enemies, and a series of names floated in his mind.

The phone ring interrupted Xiao Xiao Zhenggong's train of thought; it was Captain Chen calling.

With such a big thing happening, Xiao Xiao Zhenggong should return to the bureau to report.

Xiao Xiao Zhenggong twisted his mobile phone into a twist shape, threw it on the passenger seat, stepped on the accelerator, and drove straight home.

The next day, Xiao Xiao Zhenggong went to the bureau for a meeting, which was still about the Cultural Palace incident yesterday.

Star was still alive; after a night of emergency treatment, he was out of danger.

Although no agents in the bureau had lost their lives, the matter still alarmed quite a few people.

After sleeping for a night, Xiao Xiao Zhenggong's mood eased a bit, and he gave

The next day, Xiao Xiao Zhenggong went to the bureau for a meeting. The meeting was still about the Cultural Palace incident from yesterday.

The star was still alive; after a night of emergency treatment, she was already out of life-threatening danger.

Although no agents from the bureau had lost their lives, this matter still alarmed quite a few people.

After sleeping for a night, Xiao Xiao Zhenggong's mood had eased somewhat, and he provided a reasonable explanation for what happened last night.

He went to investigate the black market and ended up being attacked. The preliminary judgment was that it was a retaliatory act by black market merchants.

Because he was injured, Xiao Xiao Zhenggong went to the hospital for treatment, and his mobile phone was damaged during the struggle, so he did not receive Captain Chen's call.

All the explanations were reasonable and logical.

Even when asked which hospital he received treatment at, Xiao Xiao Zhenggong stated it clearly; he had made preparations beforehand.

Captain Chen asked about the injuries, and Xiao Xiao Zhenggong brushed them off. After the meeting, Xiao Xiao Zhenggong intended to go to the crime scene to investigate and see if there were any missed clues. Captain Chen approved.

Not long after Xiao Xiao Zhenggong left, Chen Chen Zhangrui suddenly frowned.

Just now, Xiao Xiao Zhenggong's explanation sounded reasonable, but upon closer thought, there were serious problems within it.

If black market merchants really wanted to retaliate against the Dark Star Bureau, they shouldn't have targeted Xiao Xiao Zhenggong.

Since Xiao Xiao Zhenggong joined the Dark Star Bureau, he had never contributed any effort to investigating the black market; he had never offended black market merchants at all!

After pondering for a moment, Captain Chen called Seeing Datou over and whispered: "Go to the Cultural Palace and see what Xiao Xiao Zhenggong went there to do?

No matter what he did, don't make a scene; just come back and tell me the news."

Seeing Datou drove to the Cultural Palace. The crime scene had already been cordoned off, but he did not see Xiao Xiao Zhenggong.

Where did Xiao Xiao Zhenggong go?

Seeing Datou pondered for a moment, restarted the car, and left the Cultural Palace.

Yuezhou Third Hospital. The nursing assistant had just finished changing the sheets and had helped He He Haiqin back into bed.

Xiao Xiao Zhenggong pushed the door open and walked in, smiling at the nursing assistant: "You go out first."

The nursing assistant looked stunned: "How can that be? The patient is still here."

Xiao Xiao Zhenggong's smile did not change, but his tone became slightly deeper: "I said for you to go out."

The nursing assistant shivered, feeling her whole body being oppressed by a force, making it very difficult even to breathe.

She dared not delay for even a moment and immediately left the ward.

Xiao Xiao Zhenggong pulled up a chair and sat by He He Haiqin's bedside.

After a long silence, Xiao Xiao Zhenggong asked softly: "Want to kill me?"

He He Haiqin lay on the bed without moving.

Xiao Xiao Zhenggong patted He He Haiqin's face: "If you want to kill me, then do it. I'm standing right here; stop playing dead, will you?"

He He Haiqin still did not move.

Xiao Xiao Zhenggong stood up and said: "It's because of Zhao Zhao Xiaowan, right? You're not convinced in your heart, right?

I'll tell you the truth: Zhao Zhao Xiaowan is in my hands. If you want her, come and get her!

As long as you stand up and fight me, I'll give Zhao Zhao Xiaowan to you.

You're not moving, are you? Then I won't be polite. Since you like lying down so much, I'll let you lie down for a lifetime."

Xiao Xiao Zhenggong took a coin out of his pocket and was about to flick it at He He Haiqin's forehead when he suddenly heard someone outside the door say: "Deputy Captain Xiao, why are you here?"

Xiao Xiao Zhenggong turned his face and saw Seeing Datou standing at the door.

"You came too," Xiao Xiao Zhenggong was not surprised at all, "I was just about to ask you, what are you doing here?"

Seeing Datou said calmly: "I came to check on He He Haiqin's condition. I've been following this case all along."

"Yes, you've been following it. I find you've been following it for a bit too long." Xiao Xiao Zhenggong held the coin in his hand and rubbed it, as if ready to flick it at Seeing Datou's face at any moment.

Seeing Datou took half a step back: "Captain Xiao, calm down. It was Captain Chen who sent me."

"Captain Chen sends you to run to the hospital every day? You really are diligent!

I'm not as diligent as you. Yesterday I went to the black market just to fulfill my duties, and it ended up causing such a big scene.

I was pondering all night last night: how did He He Haiqin know I went to the black market? How was he able to ambush people in the cinema ahead of time? Who exactly leaked the news?

Seeing Datou, what benefits did He He Haiqin give you? You brat, you dare to sell me out?"

PS: Don't discriminate against the Young Master; he also crawled out of a storm of blood.

Li Li Banfeng also did not expect that a single Zhaohu long spear would stir up so many things.
