The three of them waited anxiously in the courtyard.
About 20 minutes later, Gao Jianfei's phone rang. It was Chen Xian calling, "Jianfei, I've taken a taxi to the entrance of Yuehua Village, come over right away!"
"Okay, wait for me for three minutes!" Gao Jianfei hung up the phone and immediately helped Xiaoxiao walk towards the village entrance, with Yan Kui following quickly behind.
The three quickly reached the village entrance, where a taxi was indeed parked. Chen Xian, wearing jeans and a plain t-shirt, stood by the car door, looking around curiously. When she saw Gao Jianfei, her eyes lit up, and she quickly waved. "Jianfei! Come here!" However, when she noticed that Gao Jianfei was supporting a young girl, with a middle-aged man following behind, she felt quite puzzled.
Gao Jianfei carefully helped Xiaoxiao into the car, and then he and Yan Kui also got in. The taxi started heading towards the Binghe residential area where Chen Xian lived.
“Xiaoxian, my sister broke her leg,” Gao Jianfei said, organizing his thoughts. “Also, the three of us are currently homeless, so we’re planning to squeeze in with you. I know your place isn’t very big, so we’ll just make do for one night. I’ll look for a place to stay tomorrow.”
Chen Xian said, slightly annoyed, "Jianfei, you...you don't need to be so polite to me! You don't need to explain anything to me, just come to my house! Anyway, there's enough room to make a makeshift bed in the living room, and my bedroom has an extra bed. Don't worry."
The taxi drove straight towards the Binghe residential area.
Flower market.
Inside a luxury hotel, in a high-end suite.
At this moment, Hu Zi was sitting on the sofa in the living room of the suite, and his face looked very unpleasant!
In the living room, besides Hu Zi, there were more than a dozen thugs standing there.
"Yan Kui! Yan Kui! Die! Die!" His pet, a green parrot, perched on his shoulder, kept squawking.
"Damn it!" Suddenly, the muscles on the bearded man's face twitched, and he reached out and grabbed the parrot by the neck!
"You...hello...good morning..." The parrot was having some difficulty breathing, but it still managed to utter a few human words.
"Snap!" The bearded man actually twisted the parrot's neck off!
Then, he threw the parrot to the ground, stood up, and stomped on it with his right leg, yelling, "Damn it! I've been tricked! I've been tricked! Damn it!"
Two minutes later, the parrot was crushed into a pile of minced meat!
The bearded man's cursing stopped. Suddenly, he knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, and looked at the parrot's carcass, which he had ravaged into a pulp, and cried out in agony, "Xiaoxue...you...what happened to you? Are you dead? How cruel! Who was so cruel as to kill my lovely Xiaoxue..."
His men quickly averted their gazes, absolutely unwilling to watch this extremely perverted and insane scene.
About 10 minutes later, Hu Zi returned to normal. He sat back on the sofa and sneered, "That kid tricked me! I've always felt something was off, like something was wrong. Now I realize... that kid absolutely couldn't unleash the power of his first throwing knife! Impossible! For a throwing knife attack of that level, he was already doing incredibly well to launch it once. He absolutely couldn't launch a second one! I've been tricked! I've been completely fooled!"
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and then a thug opened the door from the outside and walked in, saying respectfully, "Brother Beard, the people from Dongxing are here."
"Let him in!" Hu Zi said, crossing his legs.
A short while later, an old man walked in from outside. He was wearing large sunglasses and had a tuft of white beard.
"Beard." As soon as the old man entered the room, he took off his sunglasses, and the mustache on his lips was also fake. He then tore off the white mustache.
This old man was none other than Fifth Master of Dongxing! He had actually disguised himself and come to the flower market! He had come to Zheng Bang's territory!
"Hey, the last operation failed? Damn it! Didn't you swear you'd definitely take down Liu Feng?" Bearded man spat at Fifth Master's feet, muttering to himself, "Damn it, I don't know if he grew up eating shit or something, at his age, he can't even handle a simple task!"
Before Fifth Master Hu Zi, he was like a docile quail, absolutely not daring to utter a single loud word. He bowed slightly and said, "Hu Zi, the plan was very proper, and everything went smoothly. However, at the crucial moment, I don't know what happened, but Yao Hui and Liu Feng were both still alive!"
"You mean, Scorpion is dead?" Bearded man picked up a cup of coffee from the coffee table. "Scorpion, the gunman who claimed to never miss a shot, was actually killed?"
“Yes, Beard, Scorpion is dead. Afterwards, I went to see Scorpion's body. His throat was pierced directly by a sharp blade! Judging from the wound, it was definitely not a gunshot wound. It looked a bit like a sword wound, and a bit like a spear wound.” Fifth Master touched the white hair on his head. “It could also have been a throwing knife or something.”
"Pfft..." Bearded man spat out his coffee. "Throwing knives? Damn it, another throwing knife?"
Chapter Sixty Tang Wenjun
Chapter Sixty Tang Wenjun
The taxi quickly entered the Flower Market Ice River residential area.
This was an affordable housing and resettlement housing community, located in a relatively remote area. Yan Kui supported his daughter, while Gao Jianfei carried the wooden box for Yan Kui. Chen Xian, clutching the keys, walked quickly ahead.
By this time, it was getting late. Around 8 PM, this area, known as the "flower market slum," was sparsely populated. Indeed, this area lacked property management, recreational facilities, and gardens. Therefore, few residents were out strolling at this hour. Besides, most of the people living here were either still working late, or had already gone home, eaten dinner, and then relaxed on the sofa watching TV to unwind after a long day.
Therefore, Gao Jianfei and his group didn't encounter many people along the way. Soon, they arrived at the 28th floor of the apartment building where Chen Xian lived.
Chen Xian quickly opened the door, first letting Yan Kui help Xiao Xiao into the room, and then went in with Gao Jianfei. As soon as they entered, Gao Jianfei thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Xian, why don't you lock the door from the inside?"
Chen Xian immediately followed Gao Jianfei's instructions and locked the door from the inside.
"Come on, sit on the sofa first." Chen Xian ran over and settled Yan Kui and his daughter on an old-fashioned black leather sofa, then immediately went to boil water. Yes, boil water, it seems her family doesn't have a water dispenser.
Gao Jianfei strolled around the room casually, looking around. The apartment Chen Xian rented was a one-bedroom, one-living room, simple kitchen, and small bathroom, with an internal area of about 40 square meters, which was very cramped. There was hardly any extra furniture or appliances in the room.
A very simple set of furniture, the paint on the surface has peeled off, an old-fashioned 19-inch color TV is placed directly on the floor, and a very old-fashioned single-door refrigerator.
Although the house was relatively tidy and clean, it revealed a state of poverty everywhere.
"Damn, Chen Xian here is really... really bad!" Gao Jianfei couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
At this moment, Yan Kui had already torn off Xiao Xiao's left leg pants and squatted under the sofa, carefully examining the injury on Xiao Xiao's left leg.
Gao Jianfei also hurriedly went over.
Xiaoxiao's left calf was badly swollen and red, with bruises showing through the swelling; it was quite frightening. Sweat beaded on her forehead, and she gritted her teeth, forcing a smile at Yan Kui and Gao Jianfei, "It's okay...it...it doesn't hurt..."
Yan Kui gently stroked the injury on Xiao Xiao's leg, seemingly trying to find the location of the broken bone.
Xiaoxiao hissed and gasped, clearly in great pain, but she didn't utter a sound of complaint.
Gao Jianfei rushed into the kitchen and asked Chen Xian, who was boiling water, "Xiao Xian, do you have any painkillers or anti-inflammatory drugs here?"
"Yes. Yes." Chen Xian quickly put down the kettle, went straight to the living room, found a medicine box in an old-fashioned cabinet, took out several boxes of medicine, and handed them directly to Gao Jianfei.
Gao Jianfei glanced at the package and saw that there were painkillers and amoxicillin, so he gave the medicine to Yan Kui. Chen Xian thoughtfully poured a glass of warm water and handed it to Yan Kui. Yan Kui quickly made Xiaoxiao take a handful of medicine.
"Xiaoxian, thank you. I didn't expect you to keep anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medicines at home. Haha, most families only keep some cold medicine and the like." Gao Jianfei said casually.
Chen Xian smiled and said, "Hehe, actually, I take all these 'medications' myself. Lately, I've been feeling occasional pain in my liver."
"Huh?" Gao Jianfei's expression changed. "Liver pain? Could it be because you drank too much?"
"Maybe. But Jianfei, I don't work there anymore. I think I'll be fine after resting for a while." Chen Xian smiled indifferently. "Alright, the water's boiled. I'll go get some."
“Well, my good daughter, bear it…bear it! Dad will set your bones right now…it will only hurt for a moment, okay, Xiaoxiao, be good, listen to me, bear it!” At this moment, Yan Kui grabbed Xiaoxiao’s left leg with both hands.
"Yes, Dad, I'm not afraid of pain!" Xiaoxiao nodded emphatically.
Suddenly...
"Click!"
Yan Kui twisted his hands! Xiao Xiao's leg bones cracked with a crisp sound!
"Ah!" Xiaoxiao couldn't help but scream, "It hurts...it hurts...ouch..."
Large beads of sweat instantly appeared on her forehead, and her tear ducts seemed to have a mind of their own, with hot tears rolling down her large, watery eyes. Then, her whole body began to convulse. "Dad...Brother Fei...it hurts...it hurts so much..."
"Xiaoxiao! My dear, my sweet daughter, the bone has been set, it's alright, it's alright," Yan Kui cried out in alarm, trying to comfort her.
Xiaoxiao's face was deathly pale, and her body was completely out of control, twitching and trembling slightly. She murmured... "It hurts, it hurts so much...it hurts..."
"Jianfei! Your sister...so pitiful!" Chen Xian involuntarily shrank towards Gao Jianfei, her face filled with fear.
Gao Jianfei didn't know where the impulse came from, he sat down on the sofa and pulled Xiaoxiao's trembling little body into his arms, "It's okay, Xiaoxiao, it doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt anymore, it will be fine in a while."
Xiaoxiao nestled in Gao Jianfei's arms, murmuring for a while, then gradually closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep. Gao Jianfei turned his head to look at Xiaoxiao. Her face was pale, her forehead was still covered with beads of sweat, and her face was streaked with tears, making her look pitiful.
"I fainted from the pain," Yan Kui said, distraught. "Xiaoxiao, Dad is so sorry..."
"Uncle Yan, is Xiaoxiao alright? Just now, I saw you put the broken bone back in place. I think she'll be fine after some rest," Gao Jianfei said.
Yan Kui's eyes flashed with extreme pain and inner turmoil. "The bone has been set, but... Xiaoxiao... from now on, her leg will have some problems walking. My daughter... my daughter... she's lame... my daughter is lame..."
Gao Jianfei was terrified!
A young, lovely, and kind girl, just like that... became lame?
Two streams of tears rolled down Yan Kui's cheeks. He grabbed his hair with both hands and lowered his head deeply. "Just now, the kick Xiaoxiao received was incredibly powerful. It was already extremely difficult for them to set her broken bone. She... she's crippled..."
Chen Xian couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she turned and walked towards the kitchen. As she turned, Gao Jianfei clearly saw tears welling up in her eyes.
Gao Jianfei shook his head painfully, paused, and asked, "Uncle Yan, so what do you plan to do now? Just like you said, that bearded man is a very dangerous person. He even has a gun! This...this is simply terrifying!" Gao Jianfei thought to himself, even in the underground forces, Uncle Tang Bao and Chen Yaohui wouldn't carry guns around and shoot people at the drop of a hat, right? After all, gun control in China is still very strict.
Yan Kui sighed and gritted his teeth, saying, "Xiao Gao, years ago, I had a fight with Hu Zi's father in America. Before the fight, we signed a death contract, promising that if we died, no one would be held responsible and our descendants wouldn't be held accountable. At the time, I accidentally killed Hu Zi's father in the ring. Afterwards, the Hu family refused to let it go, so I immediately fled back to China and went into hiding, trying to avoid being found by the Hu family. Xiao Gao, you don't know, the Hu family has a lot of influence in the Chinese community in America! Alas... I've been hiding in Huashi for over ten years, but I never thought I could escape it in the end. What a tragedy! Right now, I can only find a place to lay low for a while."
“Okay, I understand.” Gao Jianfei nodded. “Then we’ll stay at Chen Xian’s house for now. Uncle Yan, you can make do on the sofa tonight. I’ll take Xiaoxiao to the bedroom so she can stay with Chen Xian.”
After saying that, Gao Jianfei gently picked Xiaoxiao up and walked towards Chen Xian's bedroom.
Yan Kui called out, "Xiao Gao, where are you sleeping?"
"Uncle Yan, don't worry about me, I have my own plans." Gao Jianfei thought to himself, I'll just go to the haunted house tonight and chat with Huang Feihong's ghost to learn something.
He carried Xiaoxiao to Chen Xian's bedroom and gently placed her on the bed. Gao Jianfei came out, but at that moment, a sharp pain shot through his back. He paused involuntarily at the bedroom doorway, hissing as he pressed his hand against his back, feeling discomfort in his lungs as well. "Cough cough..."
"Jianfei, what's wrong with you?" Chen Xian came out of the kitchen and saw Gao Jianfei pressing his back in pain.
“It’s nothing…” Gao Jianfei frowned. “Xiaoxian, you can sleep with Xiaoxiao tonight. Please take care of Xiaoxiao. I have to go out for a bit tonight.”
"Jianfei, what... what happened to your back? Let me see!" Chen Xian walked up behind Gao Jianfei without giving him a chance to speak, gently lifted Gao Jianfei's clothes, and took a look... immediately! She burst into tears.
"This? What's wrong?" Gao Jianfei asked, both surprised and curious.
Suddenly, Chen Xian grabbed Gao Jianfei from behind and hugged him around the waist. "Jianfei, you've got such a big bruise, so swollen and bruised... Who hit you? Jianfei, I feel so bad... I'll go to the hospital with you... Jianfei..."
"Damn it, it's all red and swollen?" Gao Jianfei cursed inwardly. "That bastard beat me pretty badly!"
However, Gao Jianfei didn't plan to go to the hospital. He gently comforted Chen Xian for a few moments, then patted her shoulder and said, "Xiao Xian, I have to go out tonight, so I won't be back. See you at the company tomorrow!"
After saying that, Gao Jianfei left Chen Xian's house. After going downstairs, Gao Jianfei didn't go far, but instead went around to the desolate hill behind the dam downstairs.
There would be no one there, not even a ghost. Gao Jianfei's mind raced… “Enter the ghost's lair!”
Suddenly, Gao Jianfei's eyes flashed, and he arrived directly in the Ghost Den.
"Dear user, the soul of the Level 2 ghost Huang Feihong has been pieced together and taken into the Ghost Nest. It is waiting for you in room 2-2 of the Ghost Nest. You have gained 900 experience points and 900 exorcism points for taking in the Level 2 ghost Huang Feihong. Please continue your efforts and take in more Level 2 ghosts into the Ghost Nest!"
Gao Jianfei subconsciously opened the virtual display screen and scanned...
