23: 23.
Bumper Harvest 23: 23.
Bumper Harvest The enemy was annihilated, and Lu Li hurriedly summoned the Kunlun Mirror into his hand, examining it carefully.
The treasure had taken a spray of bullets but was left without a scratch.
“Amazingly tough!
This Magic Treasure is even more useful for defense…”
Lu Li was relieved and let the Kunlun Mirror return to the Sea of Consciousness to recuperate.
Next, he found a key on Antonio’s body and unlocked the cage.
Jessica had been waiting anxiously; as soon as the cage opened, she leaped into Lu Li’s arms, crying loudly, venting her fears and grievances from the past several days.
The young girl was lively and adorable, and innately kind, undeserving of such a tragic fate.
Lu Li gently comforted her, repeatedly reassuring, “It’s okay now, everything’s okay.”
“Lu Li, you’re so aweso!”
Jessica, recovering from her emotions, wiped away tears and excitedly said, “You single-handedly took down the Black Gang’s stronghold!”
Lu Li smiled and said, “I did it to save you.
Let’s get out of here quickly.”
“No, no!” Jessica, with a stern face, insisted,
“Many people know I was captured by the Beheading Gang, I can’t just go back unhard…
The Beheading Gang is the drug lord’s dogs; I can’t let this connect to you!”
The tank that had opened fire on the street earlier belonged to Benjamin, and the entire border region’s gangs served him.
Saying he was a drug lord was accurate, but “warlord” might be a more appropriate title, one Lu Li couldn’t afford to provoke!
Fortunately, Jessica was a clever girl and already had a plan.
She pecked Lu Li’s cheek, then walked back into the cage, and locked herself in.
“I’ll stay here!
You take all the Star Alliance Knives from the safe, leave the opium…
then call the police!”
That was the young girl’s plan.
Lu Li thought it through…
and it actually sounded feasible!
The police would surely rescue Jessica, while the opium in the safe would be seen as their “achievent.”
In this way, the conflict would shift to the police’s side.
As for the real culprit, they would certainly start with the thousands of enemies of the Beheading Gang, it would be a long ti before they considered a cripple.
Lu Li said gravely, “It’s a good plan, but you’ll have to be inconvenienced for a bit.”
Jessica laughed lightly, “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine~”
“Mm, I’ll be watching over you.”
Lu Li nodded firmly, then found a travel bag and filled it with the Star Alliance Knives from the safe.
Without ti to count, Lu Li went to the hallway to scavenge for scattered weapons and ammunition, especially the two shotguns.
However, the handguns were poorly maintained by the gang mbers, so Lu Li picked only four that were over 90% new.
Also, he found many watches and lighters…
After finishing all this, he used Antonio’s finger to unlock the phone and dialed the police.
Tossing the now-useless phone to the ground, it splattered a bit of blood.
At this mont, the hallway was littered with bodies in all positions, filled with the sll of iron rust, and the ground was sticky underfoot.
But far from feeling disgusted by the scene, Lu Li felt triumphant.
He had killed those who were but animals in human form; they didn’t deserve to live.
Then, Jessica curled up in the cage and waved goodbye.
Seeing the young girl’s sweet smile, Lu Li suddenly felt grateful for his power to Refine God.
Grateful for this miraculous ability that gave a cripple like him the power to turn his fate around!
At that mont, a cool sensation spread in his head, his thoughts beca incredibly clear.
But the feeling vanished as quickly as it ca, like an illusion, leaving him with a sense of loss.
“My head feels cool, as if I’ve understood sothing…Faith?”
“Is my faith to protect?
It doesn’t seem quite right…”
Lu Li stepped through the sticky blood plasma and past the nurous gruesoly dead bodies, limping away.
~~~~~~~~~
Lu Li arrived at a 24-hour fried chicken shop not far from the nightclub.
He had just ordered a al when he heard the sound of police sirens.
The police quickly reached the scene, followed by reporters from everywhere.
The event had escalated significantly, with major television stations like Azteca and Channel 5 dispatching their main teams.
After a short while, many young girls were carried out on stretchers.
Among them were the unfortunate victims abducted by the Beheading Gang, including Jessica.
She was in good condition and walked out on her own.
As if by telepathy, she imdiately caught sight of Lu Li in the fried chicken shop and then quickly averted her gaze.
At that mont, a female officer approached to soothe her and asked if she had seen anything.
Jessica pretended to be scared and shook her head vigorously.
Having no other choice, the police had to send her to the ambulance and off to the hospital.
~~~~~~~~~
anwhile, Lu Li saw that the dust had settled and returned to his apartnt.
He counted his gains, and it was a substantial haul this ti.
First was the cash—he counted it, and there was a whopping $200,000!
There was also a pile of watches that he could take to the Otherworld to spend.
And the two spray guns greatly improved his self-defense capabilities.
The Wang Family brothers previously, it took three or four .45 caliber bullets for them to go down.
But with a spray gun, half a shot could end their dog lives!
These two Remington M870s, firing a pound of lead shot each ti, could kill a Brown Bear!
Just as Lu Li was playing with the spray guns, his phone rang.
It was Dr.
Laila calling!
Lu Li answered quickly, “Hello, Dr.
Laila.
Is there sothing wrong?”
[Lu Li, a patient has just arrived here, nad Jessica.
She claims to be your friend?]
Lu Li ntally exclaid at the coincidence and replied, “Yes, that’s right.
Is she alright?”
[She was abducted by a Black Gang, but luckily the police rescued her.
You should co and see her.]
“I’ll be right there!”
Lu Li changed his clothes and dashed out the door, soon arriving at the familiar Tijuana General Hospital.
He knew the place well and went straight to the ward where he found Dr.
Laila and Jessica.
Dr.
Laila said gently, “You arrived just in ti, please comfort this poor young girl.
She’s very scared.”
Jessica covertly signaled with her eyes and feigned weakness, “I want to go ho…”
Lu Li said, “Dr.
Laila, can I take her out of the hospital?”
After thinking it over, Dr.
Laila replied, “If you insist…
that’s fine, but make sure she rests well and doesn’t undergo any major emotional upheavals.”
“Thank you, Dr.
Laila.”
~~~~~~~~~~
Having a familiar face made things easy, and the two of them smoothly left the hospital and returned to the apartnt.
As soon as they entered, the frail expression on Jessica’s face vanished, and she said excitedly,
“The police didn’t find out anything and concluded that it was a gang shootout!”
“That’s great.”
Lu Li was naturally happy to have less trouble, but imdiately he started to worry about what to do with this young girl.
He asked, “Where do you live?
Shall I take you ho?”
Jessica ignored the question, looked around the apartnt, and asked with a gleaming eye, “Do you live here alone?”
“Yes, I do.”
“I have no ho anymore…
can I stay with you?”
Jessica looked pitiful and said, “I don’t eat much, and I’ll help clean up.
I won’t be any trouble~”
Lu Li frowned, sensing so inconvenience.
But Jessica gazed at him with big, watery eyes, full of pleading…
Lu Li thought that since he wasn’t ho often, he might as well agree,
“Alright then, you can stay here.
But what about your parents?”
“They sold to the Beheading Gang, so as far as I’m concerned, they’re dead~”
Jessica flopped onto the bed and rolled around happily.
Lu Li opened his mouth but couldn’t find the words to speak.
