Chapter 395: The Sin of Holding the Jade!
Huang Xiaolong sauntered happily towards home.
Tonight, he took out Jiang Chenxi and uncovered the truth behind the Binhai Route 330 bus disappearance.
He also managed to extend the life of Old Master Fang, who had been on his deathbed, for another five years…
Yet, Huang Xiaolong felt no sense of accomplishment, as these things were nothing more than trivialities for him.
Reaching the entrance of his home, he took out his key. Huang Xiaolong paused momentarily and then a wry smile surfaced on his face. “Hehehe, more fun tonight?”
Muttering to himself, Huang Xiaolong opened the door, entered and casually shut the door behind him.
The villa was shrouded in darkness.
“Hahaha, three of you, come out.” Huang Xiaolong chuckled.
The next second…
Clap, clap, clap.
The sound of applause echoed.
Then, all the lights in the room turned on.
First, a man walked out from the second floor study room, leaning on the carved railing and smiling at Huang Xiaolong. “Unexpectedly, you do have some skills.”
The speaker was a man in his thirties, dressed in black, possessing an ordinary appearance but exceptionally sharp eyes. He snapped his fingers and magically held up a revolver in his right hand, calling out to the floor below, “Big Bear, Monkey, come out. He’s found us.”
A muscular man over two meters tall walked out from the first floor kitchen. He was also in his thirties, and he was munching heartily on a roast duck. The duck was actually a late-night snack Huang Xiaolong had bought for himself and kept in the fridge, stolen by this man for his personal enjoyment.
Following behind the muscular man was a scrawny man who was less than 1.6 meters tall. His slim fingers were playing with three throwing knives, agile as a snake.
“Young man, please forgive our intrusion.” The man on the second floor twirling the revolver looked at Huang Xiaolong with a friendly smile. “Firstly, let me introduce myself.”
“Hahahaha” Huang Xiaolong smiled, reclining comfortably on the sofa and propping his leg up.
“I’ll start. I’m known as ‘Bullet’…” The man on the second floor politely introduced himself to Huang Xiaolong. “I’m from the ‘Myth Mercenary Group’. I’ve been playing with guns since I was three, real guns… Every bullet from this gun in my hand has taken a life without fail.”
“This is ‘Big Bear’, from a Siberian training camp. He once single-handedly killed 17 armed attackers. On the underground black boxing stage in the United States, he has knocked out 64 opponents.” Bullet pointed his gun barrel in the direction of the muscular man eating the roast duck.
“Lastly, Monkey. This guy is the most troublesome among the three of us. His throwing knives… oh, have you seen ‘Little Li’s Flying Dagger’? Monkey’s throwing skills are also known to never miss… what’s more, he has three knives…”
The scrawny man made a throat-slitting gesture at Huang Xiaolong with one of his throwing knives, followed by a taunting smile.
“Uh… why did you sneak into my house in the middle of the night?” Huang Xiaolong asked, a playful smile playing on his lips.
Soon after, he casually pondered.
These three men were formidable figures in ordinary people’s eyes, they definitely didn’t come to steal.
Who spent such a hefty amount to hire them?
After wiping out the Gao Family, Huang Xiaolong practically had no enemies left in Binhai…
“Young lad, have you heard of the story ‘harboring the jade brings calamity’?” Bullet laughed.
“Harboring the jade brings calamity?” Huang Xiaolong was taken aback.
“Hmm… our employer and we are old acquaintances, so we know a few things.” Bullet calmly said. “It’s said that you possess the formula for an ancient medicine that could make anyone rich overnight…”
Upon hearing these words, Huang Xiaolong naturally understood!
“You guys are from Jiangnan City, aren’t you?” Huang Xiaolong had a narrow gleam in his eyes, a spark of murderous intent flashed through. “Jiangnan City, Chen Family, Chen Zihuan.”
“Hahahaha!”
Bullet, Big Bear, and Monkey all burst into laughter.
“Young lad, you’re quick to catch on. Normally, we absolutely do not reveal our employer’s information.” Bullet laughed heartily. “However, considering that this time we’re taking you back alive, you’ll sooner or later find out who our employer is, won’t you?”
“Oh… taking me alive?” Huang Xiaolong had a playful smile on his face.
“Yes~~~ Alright, young lad, I don’t want to shoot you. You’re still young and it would be a pity if you died so soon. Therefore, I hope you’ll cooperate with us. Let’s go for a trip to Jiangnan City.” Bullet stretched lazily.
“Jiangnan City…” Huang Xiaolong chuckled. “What if I say no?”
“Pfft~~~ Young man, don’t test our patience. Otherwise, you’ll regret it.” Bullet sneered. “In fact, any one of us could take you back. The only reason the Chen Family sent all three of us indicates their stance– they must have it! They absolutely have to get their hands on the formula of the ancient medicine. So, don’t entertain any illusions. You have three breaths’ time to decide. Either follow us to Jiangnan City, or we’ll break your limbs and take you anyway.”
“No need for three breaths! Hmm! I’ve made my decision!” Huang Xiaolong slowly rose from the sofa.
“Ah, those who understand the situation are wise. Let’s go then.” Bullet grinned satisfactorily.
“Hahaha~~ My decision is… to take you down!” Huang Xiaolong brimmed with killing intent!
The next second…
Huang Xiaolong moved, heading straight for Big Bear!
Boom!!!!
An explosive sound like a raging storm echoed through the house, as Big Bear’s gigantic figure was blown away, crashing into the wall behind him.
The huge blow contorted his body instantly, his facial features distorted under the impact, and his eyeballs burst out and fell on the floor.
There they saw, Big Bear’s body embedded in the wall, bleeding from all orifices, dead beyond any doubt, his original appearance completely unrecognizable.
“Damn it!!!” Upstairs, Bullet’s elegant expression finally changed, becoming hideous and terrifying. He raised his hand, aiming his gun at Huang Xiaolong’s chest, preparing to fire.
In the blink of an eye!
Thud!
Huang Xiaolong casually snatched a falling stone from the wall and flung it like a hidden weapon.
Bullet’s gun-holding hand, its wrist was shattered! The revolver fell from his hand.
“Aaah!!!!!” Bullet screamed in agony. This was the first time in his life that he had been disarmed before even having the opportunity to fire, the hand that held the gun was completely ruined!
“Monkey! This guy… this guy has incapacitated me! Kill him! Quick! He’s a powerful fighter! Don’t take him alive, kill him directly!” Bullet was wildly infuriated, completely disregarding the Chen Family’s preference for Huang Xiaolong to be taken alive.
Whoosh!
A flash of a blade!
Monkey’s throwing knife, as fast as a shooting star, cut through the air! With its trajectory aimed directly at Huang Xiaolong’s throat!
At the same time, Monkey thrust both his hands and the remaining two throwing knives in his hands whirled and spun, cutting off all of Huang Xiaolong’s routes of retreat!
