Chapter 461 - 459: Lu Qiu Is Dead
"Haha, facing death and still pretending, ah, young people nowadays!"
Lu Qiu said, exerting all his strength as he charged at Chen Tianlong. He didn’t want to delay any longer, especially since Young Master Chu was injured, and it didn’t look light; he needed to finish the fight quickly and take him back for treatment.
Chen Tianlong didn’t lower his guard; the Powerful Qi around him was concentrated on his right arm and chest. Why he did this would soon become apparent.
"Boom!"
A muffled sound resounded, Lu Qiu widened his eyes, completely unexpectant. At the instant he prepared to strike, this kid actually dodged the punch. Was he seeking death?
Who would purposely let their opponent hit them? Was Chen Tianlong an idiot?
However.
In less than a second, Chen Tianlong’s right fist returned, not straight nor crooked, landing once again on Lu Qiu’s chest.
"Bang!"
However, Chen Tianlong’s punch was extremely straightforward, the sound crisp and pleasant, clean.
At this moment, it was as if the air had solidified. Everything around, mixed with the stillness of the abandoned factory, turned deathly silent.
"Bang!"
Three or four seconds later, suddenly behind Lu Qiu, a surge of Powerful Qi burst through his body, emerging from the other side.
Thump!
Lu Qiu directly knelt on the ground, while his nearby subordinates also looked dumbfounded.
Lu Qiu was dead!
A fatal punch; he was killed by Chen Tianlong’s Martial God’s Arm, his heart pierced through lungs!
"Damn, Housekeeper Lu!"
After the shock, everyone started running toward Lu Qiu, another Yellow Dao Four Star strongman said to the nearby subordinate: "Kill the hostage for me!"
"Yes!"
After receiving the command, the subordinate quickly retreated, seemingly heading to the small house.
But a few seconds later, the person ran back again: "Third Brother, the hostage is gone, the two brothers inside are unconscious."
"Damn!"
The strongman was really surprised. It seemed this mission had failed, the hostage rescued, and Chen Tianlong was too bizarre; at this rate, they all might lose their lives.
"Help the brothers up, we retreat!"
The strongman knew the situation had reversed, and continuing the fight wouldn’t just fail to handle Chen Tianlong; it might cost their lives.
Even Housekeeper Lu Qiu could be killed; this person was very strange.
Since it was a kidnapping, even though Lu Qiu was dead, they could only quietly send him back to the Chu Family, not daring to alert the police.
After everyone left, Chen Tianlong let out a deep breath, thinking of Mo Jing, and hurried toward the small house.
"Hey, Chen Tianlong, over here!"
Suddenly, a voice came from the dark corner not far away.
Chen Tianlong was startled at first, then immediately reacted; it was obviously Liu Ting. Hence, he quickly ran over, and just as he reached the corner, he saw Mo Jing coming out and throwing herself into Chen Tianlong’s arms.
"Brother, I’m so scared!"
Mo Jing appeared frightened once again, her face pale.
"Jing’Er, don’t be scared! Those bad guys are gone." Chen Tianlong hurriedly comforted her, feeling helpless. He couldn’t protect Mo Jing 24/7, and those with malicious intent towards her would make prevention difficult.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong really wanted to let go of everything, ignoring the worldly issues, and return to Lotus Village.
But could he really let go of everything?
Obviously not!
With a sigh, Chen Tianlong led the two away from the abandoned steel factory and went to a hotel. Now that Mo Jing was safe, they needed to leave early, or others would come for another hunt.
In a hotel room, Mo Jing was sleeping on the bed, while Chen Tianlong and Liu Ting sat nearby, watching Mo Jing peacefully sleep.
"Liu Ting, what are your plans next?"
When Chen Tianlong asked this, he felt a bit guilty. Liu Ting failed the task to assassinate him, offending her employers, and as a fellow assassin, Chen Tianlong understood.
Now having helped rescue Mo Jing, Liu Ting’s predicament was even worse than his; no way humans would let her go.
"Heh, what plan can I have? Just wait for them to hunt me down, anyway my life is worthless." Liu Ting self-deprecated.
She couldn’t understand why her fate was so full of misfortune; barely returning from the brink of death, for livelihood, for the orphanage, she had to walk this assassin’s path.
As a high school health worker, she had to support a large group of poor orphans alone, monthly expenses at least fifty to sixty thousand.
No matter what job she found, it was futile.
Hearing this, Chen Tianlong took a deep breath; Liu Ting was indeed troubled, and this trouble stemmed from him.
Pondering a bit, Chen Tianlong suddenly thought of a solution; his eyes twinkled, saying: "Liu Ting, you seem younger than me. Why don’t you come back with me?"
"Huh? Come back with you? To do...what!"
Liu Ting clearly misunderstood, thinking Chen Tianlong wanted her back as a little wife.
"Continue being a health worker, much better than this!"
Chen Tianlong directly said: "Like this, I can protect you in school. Outside, I don’t have the time."
"Ah?"
Liu Ting was amazed; Chen Tianlong actually wanted to protect her. For a moment, Liu Ting was lost, feeling like she was back to childhood.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong truly reminded her of Xiaowu, being just as considerate.
"I’m serious. In South Sea City, I have some relation with the Lin Family; presumably arranging someone into school isn’t difficult. You shouldn’t be involved in this line; you should live well and be protected."
Chen Tianlong suddenly felt pity towards Liu Ting’s fate.
"But I..."
"Stop with ’but’, listen to me, it’s right. Talk about anything after these two months; those people won’t let you go."
Chen Tianlong directly interrupted Liu Ting’s words.
This moment, Liu Ting was stunned; these domineering words were identical to Xiaowu, even if his appearance changed greatly without a trace, this personality really resembled him.
If Chen Tianlong weren’t just a student, she might truly have called him Xiaowu.
"Alright, I’ve had someone book the tickets. Sleep early tonight, we’ll depart at five o’clock tomorrow morning; I fear once dawn hits, we’ll have trouble."
Chen Tianlong had calculated everything; as an excellent assassin, he often accurately gauged the enemy’s mentality.
This matter caused such a commotion, the Chu Family certainly wouldn’t conduct a search in the middle of the night, especially since it was a kidnapping, not an official action.
Liu Ting nodded and left for the adjacent room to sleep, while Chen Tianlong stayed in the room, wanting to sleep with Mo Jing, worried about further incidents.
In the Chu Family Mansion in Capital City.
"What? The young master was injured and unconscious, Housekeeper Lu Qiu is dead?"
Old Master Chu Jiangnan nearly couldn’t stand, truly surprised. He originally intended to target Chen Tianlong a bit, to avenge Zhao Zhuo; now, his son suffered severe injuries, not only paying with a housekeeper’s life.
"Hmph!"
That strongman named Kong Cheng, now faces failed mission, already ashamed in front of the master, spoke in a softer voice.
"Idiots, all useless. You can’t even deal with a little brat, and I’ve raised you for nothing." Chu Jiangnan suddenly flared up, fists clenching and making popping sounds.
