Chapter 505 Lu Jingyun
Chapter 505 Lu Jingyun
Xu Xiangbei gently walked up to the tall skinny man and asked with a smile, "Who sent you to kill me? As long as you tell me a name, you can see the sun tomorrow."
The skinny man’s face showed a fierce expression: "Even if you kill me, I won’t speak. Do as you please with me since I’m in your hands."
Knowing the other party was a professional killer, such people are ruthless. Making him talk would be tough, so that’s why Girl Seven called Xu Xiangbei.
But Xu Xiangbei was confident he could make him speak, for no one could withstand his muscle-dividing and bone-smashing technique for more than two minutes.
Xu Xiangbei extended his fingers, forming a needle-like gesture, lightly touching the skinny man’s wrist. An invisible stream of Inner Strength swiftly drilled into the skinny man’s body.
A trace of terror flashed across the face of the skinny man who seemed resigned to death. He felt his wrist being bitten by a mosquito, with a strange aura drilling into his body.
The feeling was like an alien invading his body, suddenly filling his heart with an unexplainable fear.
He was also a master of Ancient Martial Arts, and ordinary beatings or forcing techniques didn’t concern him. However, Xu Xiangbei’s finger posture reminded him of a legendary technique, the Heaven-defying Eight Needles.
The Heaven-defying Eight Needles could save lives as well as kill.
He trembled and asked, "Is your Finger Technique the Heaven-defying Eight Needles?"
Xu Xiangbei displayed a devilish smile: "You know my move, huh? I didn’t realize you were so well-informed."
Xu Xiangbei’s compliment made the skinny man feel fear from the bottom of his heart. A chilling sensation crept from his wrist, growing stronger like countless ice spikes rampaging through his body.
The pain shot from his chest to his head, feeling like his insides were about to explode. He screamed loudly, "No, I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you! Don’t use the Heaven-defying Eight Needles on me, I’ll tell you anything you want to know."
Xu Xiangbei’s fingers gently touched the skinny man’s pulse. The cold energy of the Heaven-defying Eight Needles was retracted: "Who sent you to kill me?"
"It was Lu Jingyun, President Lu."
Xu Xiangbei didn’t know who Lu Jingyun was and asked in confusion, "Why does this President Lu want to kill me? What grudge do I have with him?"
Seeing Xu Xiangbei’s puzzled expression, the skinny man smirked bitterly: "You’re really dumb, you bullied his goddaughter Lu Yao, remember?"
Reminded by the skinny man, Xu Xiangbei suddenly realized, secretly startled, that Lu Jingyun acted so quickly. The morning incident, and he was tailing him to the Crown KTV that night.
"How did you know I was at Crown KTV?"
"We bugged your villa, which used to belong to Qin Daming. The smart home system has vulnerabilities, and your doorbell is an excellent bugging device."
Xu Xiangbei was stunned to hear this. Living in the Purple Gold Villa, he thought he had gained a great deal from Qin Daming, not expecting it had also been bugged. He must thoroughly check his villa when he returns.
"What about the other five people, why did you blow them up?"
"I’m the contact for hitmen, responsible for briefing all hitmen. We know you’re not an ordinary person, having defeated the American Boxing Champion Jason and beat Kaze Xiao Ye. So I devised a strict plan: if unsuccessful, destroy all evidence."
"Where is Lu Jingyun now?"
"He’s on the luxury cruise ship Jingyun, which is his own. Tonight, he took Lu Yao to Jiangxin Island for fun and should be back to Earth Sea the day after tomorrow."
Xu Xiangbei nodded, withdrawing the fingers pressed against the skinny man’s pulse. His pulse was calm and steady, with a bit of accelerated beating caused by nervousness, not lies.
Xu Xiangbei kept recording on his phone: "Stay here and rest well. Once I’ve dealt with Lu Jingyun and confirmed your words, I’ll send you to meet a friend."
The skinny man’s face went pale: "You said if I confessed everything, you’d let me see the sun tomorrow. A man must keep his word."
"Don’t worry. I won’t kill you. Killing you would only dirty my hands. I’ll hand you over to a friend of mine; she’s a police officer, and you have to answer for the Crown KTV bombing. Those people died because of you."
Xu Xiangbei returned to Girl Seven’s boudoir and played the recording for Girl Seven, who listened with great interest.
She curiously asked, "This guy, I used an electric baton on him for over ten minutes, and he didn’t say a word. How did you make him talk?"
Xu Xiangbei gave a wicked smile: "Because I know what he fears most in his heart."
Girl Seven showed an admiring look: "I didn’t expect you to have such skills. I heard Lu Jingyun has many treasures. If you’re going for revenge against Lu Jingyun, can you take me along? I want to collect some spoils."
Xu Xiangbei shook his head, his expression unwelcoming: "No, I usually prefer to act alone, not liking to partner with others, as teaming up with you might distract me and affect my plans."
Seeing Xu Xiangbei not taking her along, Girl Seven pouted: "I saved your life today, let you hug and kiss me, and even helped you catch the skinny man. You owe me."
"But going for revenge against Lu Jingyun is indeed dangerous. I’ve heard he wields significant power in Earth Sea, even Huang Qinghai dares not provoke him."
"No matter his power, if you don’t take me, I’ll go myself."
Seeing Girl Seven insist on going, Xu Xiangbei had no choice but to agree: "Just don’t cause trouble there. Taking you along isn’t impossible, but..."
Seeing Xu Xiangbei relent, Girl Seven was overjoyed: "Haha, but what? Just say it."
"You can’t act on your own. You must listen to my arrangements and operate as a team."
"Sure, group theft, no problem—oh no, team collaboration, haha, misspoke, misspoke."
Too thrilled at the prospect of seeking vengeance with Xu Xiangbei, Girl Seven blurted out "group theft", quickly correcting herself, her face slightly flushed.
With her face resembling the twilight, delicate and alluring, her bright red lips enticing, Xu Xiangbei felt an urge to kiss her again.
Suddenly, the sound of a motorcycle engine was heard entering the yard, along with Old Groundhog’s whistling.
Girl Seven hurriedly said, "Oh no, my grandfather’s back! If he knows I brought you home, he’ll kill me. Hide quickly!"
Xu Xiangbei smiled wryly: "Where should I hide?"
Opening her wardrobe, Girl Seven beamed. The wardrobe was large and empty, perfect for someone to hide inside: "Get in, quickly."
Just as Xu Xiangbei squeezed into Girl Seven’s wardrobe, Old Groundhog’s voice was heard outside the door: "Girl Seven, you haven’t slept yet? Why are the lights still on?"
Girl Seven replied, "I got up for some water, going to bed now."
Old Groundhog walked to Girl Seven’s bedroom door and lightly knocked: "Girl, your grandfather got a treasure tonight. You’re knowledgeable about jade, help me see if this piece is valuable."
