Seeing the two n pressing closer, He Xuewen quietly took out the electric baton and pepper spray Tian Sisi had given him from his bag. He didn’t expect the gifts from Ah Nan to co in handy so soon. He had indeed underestimated his enemies!
"He Xuewen, you’ve got quite the nerve to actually dare to loiter in Beijing, huh! Seeking your own death!" The two n said proudly, confident they could easily capture He Xuewen.
He Xuewen’s face was expressionless as he firmly watched the two n before him, his hands tightly gripping the electric baton and pepper spray, now only able to count on these two items for his getaway.
One of the n sneered as he approached He Xuewen, while the other stood with arms folded, confident that they didn’t need both to deal with such a tender-faced scholar. As the enemy drew closer, He Xuewen’s palms sweated with tension.
At that mont, when the enemy was less than ten centiters away, He Xuewen first sprayed the face of the assailant with the pepper spray, who scread in pain, bending over with his hands covering his face. Seizing the mont, He Xuewen pressed the electric baton’s switch, striking towards the man’s chest.
The 20,000-volt shock wasn’t for show; the man went down without even a grunt, unconscious. He Xuewen couldn’t help but rejoice—Ah Nan was indeed his lucky star!
Ard with the two powerful weapons, He Xuewen wasn’t afraid of the remaining man. The other assailant was shocked, unable to understand how his partner had suddenly fallen. Could it be that He Xuewen had learned so advanced martial arts over these years?
Because the electric baton and pepper spray were small, the man had not seen clearly what He Xuewen had in his hands and thought that He Xuewen had learned so special skills during his disappearance. His heart panicked, fearing he might suffer the sa fate as his partner, whom he thought was dead.
Thinking this, the man had no desire to continue the fight. He turned to flee, but He Xuewen quickly dealt with him in the sa manner. Seeing the two n lying on the ground, He Xuewen’s pent-up frustrations cleared.
He checked their breathing first—Ah Nan was right, the gadgets weren’t lethal. Now he could relax; if these two had died, it would bring trouble to the Yang Family, and he didn’t want to harm his friends.
He Xuewen, feeling playful, stripped the clothes off both n, leaving them stark naked. He pocketed their money and tickets, giving himself a small fortune. It seed Liu Jinyi had earned quite the haul over the years, even his underlings held so lucrative gains.
Looking down at the two pale bodies on the ground, He Xuewen smirked with satisfaction. He pulled out a lighter, burned their clothes completely, leaving not even a thread, and happily left the alleyway.
He Xuewen didn’t dare to stay outside too long; he bought so local specialties and headed back to the Yang Family ho. In the afternoon, when Yang Wenbin returned from work, he said with a smile to He Xuewen:
"Xue Wen, you don’t know. There was quite a spectacle in a Wangfujing alley today. Two grown n ran out naked, scaring the daylights out of the won on the streets. Later, two policen took them away."
He Xuewen feigned ignorance, asking with great interest: "Those two n weren’t by any chance escapees from a ntal institution, were they?"
"No, they were perfectly sane. Xue Wen, do you know who those two n were?" Yang Wenbin asked mysteriously.
He Xuewen, amused by his friend’s teasing, still played along, asking, "Who were they?"
"Those two were Liu Jinyi’s trusted aides. They’ve been helping Liu Jinyi do all kinds of dirty work over the years. No one knows who stripped them, but it sure feels satisfying!"
He Xuewen chuckled softly without making a sound. He certainly couldn’t admit that he was the one behind this; otherwise, Ah Nan’s belongings wouldn’t remain hidden.
Liu family
"You two good-for-nothing dimwits, you’ve completely disgraced . Just look at yourselves, beaten up like this, unable to even catch a frail scholar. What use is it to keep you around?"
Liu Jinyi roared furiously. He was always extrely concerned about his reputation. Although it wasn’t him exposed and running through the streets today, he still felt humiliated. All the people of Beijing knew that these two useless fellows were his subordinates. Wouldn’t he be laughed at when going to work tomorrow?
Liu Jinyi was of average build, slightly corpulent, and wore a pair of gold-rimd glasses. His face was always adorned with a smile, giving off the appearance of a benevolent old man. Who would have thought such a person could be so ruthless?
"Boss, this He Xuewen must have learned so wicked martial arts from sowhere. The two of us simply can’t beat him."
"That’s right, boss. He Xuewen’s skills are so sinister that we couldn’t even defend ourselves. We were knocked down in a single encounter."
The two battered n had already convinced themselves that He Xuewen was a martial arts master—this would explain why they couldn’t get the better of him and might also spare them Liu Jinyi’s punishnt.
Seeing his n repeatedly insisting that He Xuewen was a formidable fighter, Liu Jinyi sowhat believed them. He knew his n well; although they were not top fighters, handling two or three opponents was not an issue for them. However, they were utterly defeated by He Xuewen today. It seed that this youngster had indeed undergone so fortuitous encounter.
Liu Jinyi pondered deeply for a while. He was determined to obtain the treasure trove of the He Family. Even though he appeared quite young and vigorous, he was, after all, past the age of sixty. His health was declining year by year, and it was uncertain when his ti would be up.
But he hadn’t fully enjoyed the riches of this world yet; he wasn’t ready to leave! He had climbed to his current position step by step, and no longer had to depend on others like in the past. How could he just give up so easily?
"In the next few days, you two keep a close watch on He Xuewen and find out what he’s up to in Beijing. Pay particular attention to the people he’s in contact with, got it?"
"Understood." The two accepted the order and departed.
Liu Jinyi, sitting in his chair and fiddling with two polished walnuts, thought to himself: The Yang Family? This youngster He Xuewen really knows how to ingratiate himself, getting in touch with the Yang Family, huh? He believes he’s got a backer with the Yang Family? I’m not afraid of the Yang Family at all!
The Liu family patriarch was oblivious, at this mont, that He Xuewen had already connected with Mr. Yun. He hadn’t taken the Yang Family seriously at all.
"This wife of He Xuewen was indeed very beautiful, such a pity she’s dead. Ah, what a waste. Otherwise, she could have provided several years of entertainnt."
Rembering Mu Xiulan’s beauty, Liu Jinyi felt a surge of lust. To say that Liu Jinyi was a wolf in sheep’s clothing would not be an overstatent; despite his genteel appearance, at heart, he was a lecher. In recent years, leveraging his position, he had wronged countless won.
With his lascivious desires stirred, Liu Jinyi lost interest in playing with walnuts. The young widow he had recently taken a fancy to wasn’t too bad; she bore a slight resemblance to Mu Xiulan. He thought he might as well satisfy his cravings with her. Liu Jinyi stood up, straightened his clothes, and stepped out of his house. (To be continued.
