Chapter 141: Pangzi Again Did a Stupid Thing

~8 min read 1,595 words

Pangzi sat on the sofa with a bruised nose and swollen eyes, while I sat not far from him, drinking plain water with a calm composure. Though said to be calm, I was actually holding back internal injury; only out of face for Pangzi did I not laugh out loud.

In the short time of breaking in earlier, Pangzi again did something stupid enough to go down in history.

We had been knocking on the door outside, thinking Chen Mo wasn't home or something had happened; who would have thought that after Pangzi broke in, we found the reason Chen Mo didn't hear the knocking was……she had put on headphones and was listening to rock music,

What's more coincidental is that Chen Mo had just finished showering at this time, wearing only a bathrobe from head to toe. At the moment Pangzi broke in, the force of the door falling to the ground……instantly blew Chen Mo's bathrobe away.

Immediately after, when Chen Mo saw Pangzi barging in, she and Pangzi stared at each other for a long while. After coming to her senses, this female tough guy made a decision that was very wise but caused Pangzi suffering.

She covered Pangzi's mouth with one hand……her slender jade hand fiercely jabbed into Pangzi's both eyes; at the moment Pangzi winced and crouched from pain, she fiercely kicked Pangzi's abdomen. If I hadn't fled quickly, I would probably have become a pad for Wang Da Pang, and with Wang Da Pang's build, he would surely press me into a flat pancake that couldn't be flatter.

While Pangzi took the time Chen Mo was changing clothes to tell me the full context, I was already laughing till my stomach hurt. At the same time, I couldn't help wondering why Chen Mo chose to cover Pangzi's mouth instead of his eyes.

But upon thinking of Chen Mo's tough-girl personality, I instantly felt relieved.

I'm not afraid you'll look, I'm afraid you'll let your mouth run loose outside and spout nonsense! So I first cover your mouth, then I'll blind your eyes.

Pangzi sat steadily on the sofa with a mournful face, helplessly looking at me, the corner of his mouth twitching as he said: "I say, Hai Sheng, have you laughed enough?"

If he hadn't said that, it would've been fine, but once he said it I laughed even louder. I really don't know what bad karma Pangzi created in his past life; this life he's so ridiculously foolish, always ending up doing something that makes people laugh and cry, whether intentionally or not.

"Enough, Chen Mo is about to come out; if you don't want me to beat you to death, you'd better shut that stinky mouth! If Chen Mo can't help but strike me, old man will……ouch." Pangzi clenched his fists and threatened me fiercely. Seems he recalled Chen Mo's violence, the recurring pain in his abdomen made him involuntarily cover it with both hands.

Being able to kick Pangzi, a heavyset person over 150 catties in weight, flying shows how terrifying Chen Mo's kick power is.

It seems that girls who look weak as bone are not to be provoked; they appear as sheep but are actually a silent lion king.

With a bang, Chen Mo's room opened. All that could be seen was Chen Mo, having changed into sportswear, her pretty face flushed as she walked out of the room.

After Chen Mo came out, she kept her head down, her ten fingers faintly fiddling with her clothes underneath, resembling……a shy bride-to-be, and moreover the gentle, water-like kind, without a trace of toughness.

This abnormal scene left me dazed for a moment; does a girl showing this behavior mean she has feelings for that guy?

I was doubtful, various guesses surged in my mind. However, Pangzi old man remained completely unaware, still facing Chen Mo with a mournful face, complaining: "I say you, is it necessary to use so much force? I didn't do it on purpose."

Before Chen Mo even spoke, I rolled my eyes and first looked down on Pangzi: "You still have the nerve to complain, you've seen everything you should and shouldn't have, you've taken all the advantages, what more do you want?"

Pangzi helplessly said: "Who took advantage? I didn't see anything just then." Then Pangzi lowered his head and muttered quietly: "To be honest, I'd rather look at the neighbor's little flower than her; at least little flower is very gentle and will definitely not beat me. When I give it a bath, it happily runs about."

"Who is Little Flower?" Chen Mo asked in astonishment.

I instinctively answered the question: "Oh, that's a dog our neighbor keeps." When I blurted it out, I realized I'd made a big mistake. It seemed Pangzi's earlier remark was a comparative sentence, comparing Chen Mo……to a native dog named Little Flower.

As expected, Chen Mo's pretty red face instantly turned pale, she glared at Pangzi with indignation, her teeth grinding.

"Alright, stop the fuss, Chen Mo, since you're dressed, let's hurry and go with us! Otherwise later you might be in danger of life!" Seeing that silence was about to trigger lion mode again, I promptly changed the topic.

Chen Mo blankly asked me: "What are you saying, how could I be in danger of life! Also, why should I go with you?"

For a moment I couldn't explain clearly either, so I could only skip the specific details and give Chen Mo a general rundown of the whole affair.

"What are you saying, Fan Wuchang is actually the murderer in the serial killing case……this……this can't be right." Chen Mo widened her eyes, stammering.

I and Pangzi both slumped and nodded; we also hoped this answer was false, but given the current clues, they all point to Fan Wuchang. This also forces us to believe Fan Wuchang is the killer of the previous eleven people.

And Chen Mo will be the twelfth.

Thinking of this, I hurriedly looked at my watch; the hour hand had already passed eleven at night.

So I hurriedly urged Chen Mo: "Don't waste time on other matters, quickly tidy up and come with us."

"No need to pack, I'll come with you right away!" Chen Mo got up without delay.

"Wait a moment," Chen Mo's steps suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong, do you have other business?" I doubted and glanced at her.

Chen Mo stood there, her expression focused, brows furrowed, as if listening to something. After a moment, she quickly walked to the window and pulled back the curtain.

Just a glance downstairs, Chen Mo's face changed dramatically.

"Oh no, the people from Dong Ling have arrived."

I and Pangzi ran over, and when we looked up beneath the curtain, we saw several vehicles parked below Chen Mo's building. From them stepped out about twenty people, their attire exuding a strong military vibe.

Among the clubs, aside from Dong Ling's members having this military air, no one else truly did.

"Come, follow me to the rooftop; this building's rooftop is very close to the neighboring building's rooftop, we can go via the rooftop to detour around them and leave at another intersection!" Chen Mo said solemnly, then quickly walked out of the room.

I and Pangzi followed her out of the house, heading straight for the building's rooftop.

Chen Mo led the way in front, Pangzi followed behind; among the three, I was at the rear.

Just as we were about to reach the top of the rooftop, the jade pendant in my bosom suddenly trembled.

This jade is the netherworld jade where Little Fat resides. After trembling twice, Little Fat's figure slowly appeared on the dark staircase, blocking my path.

I was wondering why it had come out, when it grabbed my thigh and loudly called out anxiously.

"Clank, clank clank……" Little Fat shouted anxiously, seeming to realize we had communication difficulties; it kept talking anxiously to me while making strange gestures, trying to communicate via body language.

First it clenched its fist, raised it to its mouth, then stuck out its tongue to lick the air. Next it lay flat on the ground, motionless with its hands, using waist power to undulate up and down.

The first pose somewhat resembled a kid eating a lollipop; the second pose, no matter how you look at it, seems a bit like an earthworm……

Earthworm, no……

What Little Fat wanted to express was baby and snake, infant snake, snake infant; what Little Fat wanted to express, isn't it exactly a snake infant?

Just as I was about to confirm with Little Fat, Little Fat again shouted "clank" while anxiously pointing upward.

My face changed instantly, and I hurriedly shouted to Pangzi and Chen Mo ahead: "Pangzi, Chen Mo, definitely do not go up to the rooftop!"

But when I shouted, the rooftop door had already been slammed open by Chen Mo; immediately after, the two of them ran in one after another.

My heart tightened, I quickly broke into a jog and with one breath ran up to the rooftop.

On the rooftop, Pangzi and Chen Mo both stopped, Pangzi in front, Chen Mo behind, both solemnly watching the not-so-far distance ahead.

Following their line of sight, I saw at the northwest corner of the rooftop a stone sofa; on it sat a man in black clothes slowly sipping a bottle of beer, beside him placed a green jade flute.

"Alas……you guys really shouldn't have come!" the man sighed, slowly rising to his feet.

He……was precisely Fan Wuchang.
