274: Chapter 274: Cold-blooded!
Mu the Madman!
Teaching the national military martial arts champion how to behave?
Wu Jie’s mouth twitched slightly, his smile strained.
“Sir Kong, you flatter too much.
Xiao just took to Cheetah for a simple sparring session, we didn’t really fight.”
Old Mr.
Kong’s face drooped, and he said coldly:
“You kid, stop playing dumb with .
I have heard that you, my boy, carry yourself in a very arrogant and high-profile way!”
“Otherwise, why would Xu Changshan put up so much money for your head?”
Wu Jie scratched the back of his head and said with a laugh:
“I just live low-key but act high-key, that’s all!”
“Enough!
My grandson will co over early tomorrow.
You two just have a little spar then!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Xiao arrived with a tray in hand.
On the plate were several small dishes and two bowls of stead rice.
“Sir Kong still spoils .
He saved so much delicious food for !”
Tang Xiao arranged the bowls and chopsticks and glared at Wu Jie:
“Aren’t you hungry?
What are you staring at?
Hurry up and eat!
Don’t be shy at Sir Kong’s house; he’d be unhappy!”
Wu Jie gave an ‘oh’ and sneaked a glance at Old Mr.
Kong.
Seeing him looking at Tang Xiao with a beaming smile, Wu Jie then moved over.
“Xiao, I’ve always said that fortune and misfortune depend on each other!
After you retired due to injury and stopped doing high-intensity training and missions, you have beco prettier than before.
This could be considered a blessing in disguise!”
Tang Xiao replied with a smile: “It’s just that my skin has gotten whiter because I’m no longer subjected to the wind, rain, and sun like before.”
As she picked up her bowl, Tang Xiao still wolfed down her food in that tornado-like fashion, rather than nibbling delicately and speaking elegantly like a fairy might.
So, this way of eating…
It truly contradicted her beauty, which was glorious enough to sha the moon and stun the nation!
However, Old Mr.
Kong seed to have long since beco used to it.
“You two take your ti eating.
After dinner, go to sleep early.
The room you usually stay in has been cleaned up already!”
Old Mr.
Kong pinched out his cigarette, stood up, and began to climb the stairs slowly with a stoop.
“Sir Kong wants to spar with his grandson early tomorrow morning,” Wu Jie muttered under his breath.
“Kong Heng is arrogant and self-righteous.
Give him a good beating for !” Tang Xiao replied nonchalantly.
“Co on!
Aren’t you afraid I’ll lose?”
“Afraid of what?
The military hospital is very close by!”
“…”
Wu Jie was instantly speechless.
Having such a cold-blooded wife was truly his rotten luck!
Hastily finishing their al, the two cleared up the bowls and utensils together.
Lights out, they went back to their room.
Tang Xiao didn’t show any nervousness about sharing a bed, as she took out her pajamas from her suitcase and went straight to shower.
Wu Jie booted up the desktop computer, finally able to go online.
After sending an email to Old Mr.
Kong, he tried to visit so live-streaming websites, only to find they wouldn’t load!
He tried several video streaming sites, also to no avail.
After experinting for a while, he realized that he could only access various official dia websites.
Not having watched for long, he shut down the computer.
No gaming, no live-streaming…
what fun was there?
Click!
Tang Xiao ca out of the bathroom wearing her pajamas.
“You watch it every day.
Haven’t you had enough?
Hurry up and go take a shower!”
Wu Jie got up, found a pair of shorts to wear, quickly washed up, and ca back.
The air conditioning in the room was very cold.
Lying in the pre-ward bed with Tang Xiao felt amazingly comfortable!
He had planned to talk to Tang Xiao about life and dreams.
Unfortunately…
Tang Xiao curled up on her side and had already fallen into a sweet sleep.
There was nothing he could do!
After all, who made her as fond of eating and sleeping as a newborn baby now?
Unable to play with his phone before sleep, Wu Jie tossed and turned, taking a long ti to fall asleep.
The night was vast and obscure.
Within the absolutely secure courtyard, Wu Jie was naturally fast asleep, snoring away.
On the other hand, Xu Feng could not sleep well at all.
It wasn’t because he hadn’t touched a woman for several days, but because of life-and-death worries.
Mu Huan was dead!
Seeking to avenge his father, Mu En, with quite a few followers, had mysteriously vanished as if evaporated from the face of the earth.
One thing Xu Feng could be sure of was that they must have co to Liuli City, but where were they hiding?
The vast Liuli City, with a population in the tens of millions, was a place where Mu En could easily conceal dozens or even hundreds of people.
A storm was brewing!
Having already made an enemy, the overbearing and dominant Xu Family of Liuli City could not possibly seek a compromise.
On the contrary,
Xu Kuishan had summoned nurous experts to protect his precious son, Xu Feng.
Inside and outside the manor, many sentries, both concealed and visible, had been arranged.
The mont Mu En and his n launched an attack, they could rapidly be exterminated.
Only pity…
Mu En was not stupid enough to rush to his doom like a moth to the fla.
His inaction, instead, put the Xu Family on the defensive.
After all, it’s easy to dodge an open spear, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow!
Mu En had already lost his father, so there was no possibility he would use thods like kidnapping relatives to force him out in the open.
Neglecting even their business affairs, he and his large group of followers were hiding in the shadows,
like venomous snakes ready to strike, always poised to deliver a deadly blow to Xu Feng or even the entire Xu Family.
As a result, Xu Feng suffered greatly.
Damn it!
It’s not as if one could forever hide away in a manor, is it?
What’s the damn difference from being in prison?
Having to worry about being assassinated and also having to heed doctors’ orders to rest and recover,
the days for Xu Feng were unbearably long.
“No matter what, I have to go to the charity banquet tomorrow!”
“And it’s also the best chance to lure the snake out of its hole.
I believe that once Mu En knows I am going, he will definitely take action!”
Xu Feng made up his mind, and Xu Kuishan could no longer dissuade him.
“Fine then!
Honestly, playing this cat-and-mouse ga with Mu En is ti-consuming, exhausting, and costly.
Everyone is too tired!”
“Might as well find an opportunity for a decisive battle to prevent future troubles!”
Xu Kuishan paused, then suddenly asked,
“Why did you invite Wu Jie to stay here?
Aren’t you worried that assassins seeking Xu Changshan’s substantial bounty might follow and join the fray?”
“He won’t cause trouble.
Instead, he can serve as a human shield for us!” Xu Feng said with a smile.
“Besides, Xu Changshan’s death bounty has been out for so many days now, has anything happened to Wu Jie?
That scoundrel is still alive and kicking!”
Xu Kuishan spoke coldly, “At tomorrow night’s charity banquet, where stars and wealthy businessn will gather, he will certainly attend with Tang Xiao.
Mu En wants to kill you, Xu Changshan wants to kill him…
Heh, it’s sure to be a lively affair!”
“No!
Dad, you’re wrong.
Mu En wants to kill Xu Changshan, too.
If it weren’t for Xu Changshan staying in the hospital, heavily guarded by many people, I’m afraid he would have been mourned over this weekend!”
No sooner had Xu Feng finished speaking than his phone suddenly rang.
He imdiately answered the call on speaker.
“Mr.
Xu, Xu Changshan has had an incident!”
“Soone impersonated doctors and nurses to enter his ward and grandiosely administered an injection and IV, but it turned out to be poison!”
“Xu Changshan has been sent for ergency treatnt.
It’s unknown if he can be saved!”
With an “Ah” sound, Xu Feng was imdiately frightened, his back turning cold.
That damn Mu En is truly insane!
To carry out an ‘open and aboveboard’ assassination right under the many watchful eyes of the Xu Family, that’s really sothing!
“After the resuscitation attempt, no matter the outco, dead or alive, call imdiately!”
After hanging up, Xu Feng looked at his father with a deeply furrowed brow.
“Mu En is being too cunning.
From now on, we must be even more vigilant, careful with anything we eat or drink!”
“And you should be careful going out as well.
If he can’t kill , he might just kill you, so that I can also experience what it’s like to lose a father!”
The mont he finished speaking,
A harrowing bark suddenly erupted from within the courtyard.
Soon after, there was shouting and yelling.
Before Xu Feng could inquire about the situation, the entire courtyard was plunged into darkness.
Before the ergency generator could start supplying power, sounds could already be heard in the dark…
