Chapter 185: The Mysterious Man in the Dungeon
At the same time, Hao Shuai also moved.
"Boom..."
The fists of the two collided, producing a muffled sound, and after that sound, Hao Shuai clearly stepped back a step.
But this time, it wasn’t just a simple step back because when Hao Shuai steadied himself, he found Chen Tianlong’s palm already at his chest.
It seemed not very powerful, but the next scene left Hao Shuai stunned.
Chen Tianlong’s face flashed with a wicked smile, then his palm turned into two fingers, flicking lightly at Hao Shuai’s chest. A crisp sound of bone cracking was heard.
The next moment, Hao Shuai flew backward and landed heavily on the ground about three or four meters away.
"Pfft..."
A mouthful of blood spewed from Hao Shuai’s chest, and he said in disbelief, "Who the hell are you? How can you use the long-lost Inch Force?"
"Hehe, a dying person doesn’t deserve to know this."
Chen Tianlong turned away, ignoring him. He knew that with this move, within two hours, the opponent would die from severe internal organ rupture.
"You... pfft..."
Seeing Chen Tianlong leaving, Hao Shuai got agitated and spat up more blood, then lost consciousness.
"Alas, if you court death, you can’t blame me!"
Chen Tianlong glanced back and quickly left.
As for the two of them, he couldn’t be bothered to deal with them. After all, there were no cameras here, and it was their fault. Even if something happened, the Chen Family could handle it.
Chen Tianlong opened the car door, and Lin Wushuang and Lu Xiaoyu, seeing him return unharmed, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Chen Tianlong, who are these people? Why do they always want to shoot?"
Lin Wushuang was still in shock; the previous scene was too thrilling. If it weren’t for Chen Tianlong, anyone else might have already been on the ground.
"Hehe, it doesn’t matter who they are, does it?"
Chen Tianlong smiled faintly, started the car, and drove toward the Chen Family: "If you two still want me to protect you, do not tell anyone about tonight’s events."
Chen Tianlong didn’t want to explain; it’s better for these two girls to know less about these matters. The more they know, the more dangerous it is.
Upon hearing this, Lin Wushuang and Lu Xiaoyu nodded vigorously, realizing that Chen Tianlong wasn’t joking.
After they left, a black BMW drove over, and two people jumped out, rushing over to where Hao Shuai lay on the road.
"Boss, Boss..."
"Bro, wake up... Bro..."
Hao Jian had been waiting at the back for over ten minutes; it had been about twenty minutes since Chen Tianlong passed by. By logic, things should have been settled.
But since Hao Shuai didn’t appear, they felt something was wrong.
They slowly drove over, only to see someone lying on the road. Upon getting out of the car, they saw it was their boss.
Liu Wenbin was originally here to watch the commotion, but he didn’t expect this result.
After quickly loading Hao Shuai into the car, they drove ahead. Since there was another from the Hao Family, if something happened, he must be nearby.
Indeed, after driving only a few dozen meters, Liu Wenbin immediately hit the brakes, almost running over Zhou Run. Without further delay, they carried Zhou Run onto the car and rushed him to the hospital for emergency treatment.
At the same time, the Mo Family elder, Mo Shangshan, and the Hao Family elder, Hao Dahai, hurried to the hospital.
After a doctor’s attempt to save them, Zhou Run was pronounced dead that night. Hao Shuai was out of immediate danger but was still critical, as his internal organs were shattered, needing surgery.
However, the surgery required extremely high precision; any mistake would lead to direct death.
Panic-stricken, Hao Dahai visited the Xu Family overnight.
Because the Xu Family was known as a family of renowned medical practitioners, with many hidden experts, knowledge unknown to others but known to Hao Dahai.
Thanks to his earlier days with the Xu Family patriarch, Xu Xian, as classmates, when they were all young and were unaware of certain taboos, Xu Xian told him all his family’s secrets.
In a secret chamber of the Xu Family, an elder said to be over a hundred years old resided, yet appeared to be in his fifties or sixties.
It was said that he had developed a pill, which, once ingested, could maintain eternal youth, although no one dared to believe it. After that, he suddenly became deranged and had very unstable emotions.
Sometimes gentle, sometimes violent, with thoughts of murder when agitated.
"Master Hao, it’s not that I refuse to help; you know as well as I do that he has very unstable moods. Letting him operate might make your son die even faster."
Xu Xian was straightforward and blunt.
"Well... what should I do? Other than him, I can’t think of anyone who can save Hao Shuai." Hao Dahai was evidently very anxious, like ants on a hot pan, unable to stay calm even for a second.
Xu Xian pondered for a while, then suddenly his eyes lit up, clearly remembering something.
"Xu Kan always claims his medical skill is unparalleled, so we will use the Provocation Technique, claiming this man is beyond saving, but if he can save him, we’ll let him out."
Xu Xian sneered mischievously: "Then, we’ll capture him again!"
"Hiss... Isn’t that inappropriate? If he really saves my son, wouldn’t it be unnecessary to imprison him again?" Hao Dahai felt it was somewhat unethical, considering, after all, he was the savior of his son.
"Brother Hao, if Xu Kan goes berserk, we will both be helpless and can only keep him locked up."
Xu Xian was evidently somewhat afraid of Xu Kan, but Hao Dahai felt it wasn’t that simple. After all, Xu Kan was still their Xu Family’s elder, and yet they treated him this way.
"Anyway, as long as he can save my son, the Hao Family will generously reward him."
Hao Dahai spoke the key point; although the Xu Family and Hao Family had friendly relations, they both were in business, so benefits were most practical.
"Haha, what a thing to say, we’re all one family." Xu Xian began to act noble, feeling secretly happy, that even a useless madman could help him earn big money.
After reaching a consensus, they began to execute their plan.
Early the next morning, Hao Dahai, accompanied by the butler Mr. Kang, brought Hao Shuai to the Xu Family Mansion.
The patriarch Xu Xian had already prepared, and upon receiving Hao Dahai’s call, he dispatched four underlings, and together they entered the Xu Family Dungeon.
This was a secret chamber in the Xu Family, where the underlings carried the severely ill Hao Shuai, quickly bringing them to the door of a cell.
The cell was constructed of connected iron bars rather than wood, inside and outside were transparent. It was damp and cold, with only a dim lamp outside the door, apart from a small skylight, making the inside dimly lit.
Inside, a man appearing to be in his fifties or sixties sat among a pile of tangled weeds. His hair was messy and very long, as if it hadn’t been cut for decades, and his beard could rival that of Marx’s.
