Chapter 413

Pangzi sat on the sofa with a bruised nose and swollen eyes, while I sat not far from him, drinking plain water calmly. Though I said I was calm, I was actually holding in internal injury, but out of face for Pangzi, I didn't laugh.

In the brief moment when Pangzi broke in earlier, he did another stupid deed worthy of being remembered for ages.

We kept 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 discovered the reason Chen Mo didn't hear the knocking was because……she had put on headphones and was listening to rock music,

What's more coincidental is that Chen Mo had just finished showering, 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 burst in, she stared at him eye to eye for a long while. After coming to her senses, this tough woman made a very wise decision that nevertheless caused Pangzi suffering.

She covered Pangzi's mouth with one hand……her slender jade hand viciously jabbed into his eyes; at the moment Pangzi winced and crouched from pain, she ruthlessly kicked his abdomen. If I hadn't run fast, I would have become a mat for Wang Da Pang, and given his build, he would surely have flattened me into a pancake that couldn't be flattened any further.

While Pangzi took the time Chen Mo was changing clothes to explain the whole context to me, I was already laughing so hard my stomach cramped. 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 woman personality, I instantly understood.

I'm not afraid you'll look; I'm afraid you'll blabber nonsense outside if you can't control your mouth! So I first covered 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: "Hai Sheng, have you laughed enough?"

If he hadn't said that, it would have been fine, but once he did, I laughed even louder. I truly don't know what bad karma Pangzi created in his past life; in this life he's ridiculously foolish, always managing to do something that makes people laugh and cry, whether intentionally or not.

Pangzi clenched his fists and threatened me fiercely: "Enough, Chen Mo is about to come out; if you don't want me to beat you to death, you better shut that stinky mouth! If Chen Mo can't help but strike me, I……ouch." The thought of Chen Mo's violence made a pang of pain in his abdomen, causing Pangzi to instinctively cover it with both hands.

Being able to kick Pangzi, whose weight exceeds 150 catties of thick fat, into the air shows just how terrifying Chen Mo's kick is.

It seems that even girls who appear weak as bone are not to be provoked; they may look like lambs, but in reality they are silent lion kings.

With a bang, Chen Mo's room door flung open. She came out in sports attire, her pretty face flushed red.

After coming out, Chen Mo kept her head down, her fingers fidgeting nervously beneath her clothes, resembling……a shy maiden awaiting marriage, and moreover a gentle, water-like type, with not a trace of toughness.

This unusual scene left me dazed for a moment; does a girl showing such behavior mean she's interested in that guy?

I was puzzled, various guesses surfacing in my mind. However, Pangzi remained completely oblivious, still facing Chen Mo with a mournful face and 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 seen, taken all the advantages, and now what more do you want?"

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

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

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

As expected, Chen Mo's delicate red face instantly turned deathly pale; she glared at Pangzi with fury, her teeth grinding audibly.

"Alright, stop the fuss, Chen Mo. Since you're dressed, hurry up and come with us! Otherwise, you might be in danger of life later!" Seeing the silence about to trigger lion mode again, I promptly changed the subject.

Chen Mo asked blankly: "What are you talking about? How could I be in danger of life! And why should I follow you?"

I couldn't explain it clearly right away, so I could only skip the specific details and give Chen Mo a general rundown of the whole matter.

"What are you saying? Fan Wuchang is actually the serial murderer? This……this can't be right." Chen Mo widened her eyes and stammered.

Pangzi and I both nodded dejectedly; we hoped this answer was false, but all the current clues point to Fan Wuchang, forcing us to believe that Fan Wuchang is the killer of the previous eleven victims.

And Chen Mo will be the twelfth.

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

So I hurriedly urged Chen Mo: "Don't waste time on other questions; quickly pack up and come with us."

"No need to pack; I'll go with you right away!" Chen Mo got up without hesitation.

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

"What's wrong, do you have something else?" I glanced at her, puzzled.

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, and Chen Mo's face turned pale.

"Oh no, the people from Dongling have arrived."

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

Within the club, aside from the Dongling members who have this military bearing, no one else truly possesses it.

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

Pangzi and I followed her out of the house and headed straight for the building's Tiantian.

Chen Mo led the way in front, Pangzi followed behind, and I brought up the rear among the three of us.

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

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

I was wondering why it had run out, when it grabbed my thigh and shouted anxiously.

""Gang gang, gang gang gang……"" Little Fat shouted anxiously, realizing we had trouble communicating; it kept talking to me anxiously while making strange gestures, trying to convey meaning through body language.

First it clenched its fists, raised them to its mouth, then stuck out its tongue and licked the air. Next it lay flat on the ground, hands still, using its waist to undulate up and down.

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

Earthworm, no……

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

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

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

But just as I shouted, Chen Mo had already flung open the Tiantian door with a bang, and the two of them rushed in one after another.

My heart tightened; I quickly broke into a jog and, in one breath, ran up to the Tiantian.

On the Tiantian, Pangzi and Chen Mo both stopped, Pangzi in front and Chen Mo behind, both gazing solemnly at the not-so-distant ahead.

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

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

He……was precisely Fan Wuchang.
