Chapter 1243 - 1242: The Mysterious Liu Yu (Seventh Update)
"Dean Zhang, which floor is that punk on? Let’s rush up and take him out!"
"Exactly! Daring to mess with our Dean Zhang, I reckon he’s tired of living!"
A few thugs shouted loudly!
Dean Zhang’s vanity was satisfied, he sneered coldly and said, "That punk and that b*tch are on the ninth floor, let’s rush up together right now, I want him to know what happens when he crosses me!"
With a shout from Dean Zhang, he stepped forward and rushed upstairs, the thugs closely following behind him!
However, just as Dean Zhang and his men reached the first-floor stairs, they saw an elderly man in a tattered grey coat, wearing a torn straw hat, his face full of wrinkles, looking extremely down and out, walking downstairs!
Dean Zhang ignored this old man and shouted, "Get out of my way, you old bastard!"
The old man, hearing Dean Zhang’s words, remained still and ambled steadily and slowly towards the floor below!
Seeing this, Dean Zhang’s expression suddenly turned grim, and he roared, "Old bastard, can’t you hear me?"
Still, the old man walked slowly, coming to stand in front of the dean, and then gently lifted his head!
His face was covered in freckles, his eyes deep-set but glimmering with a trace of coldness!
"You’re looking for a girl named Liu Yu and a boy, aren’t you?" the old man suddenly spoke!
Dean Zhang was taken aback, asking curiously, "Old man, how do you know?"
"I live right across from them, how wouldn’t I know?" the old man replied.
Dean Zhang frowned, hurriedly asking, "Old man, are that punk and b*tch still in their room?"
The old man didn’t speak but slowly extended his hand in front of Dean Zhang, obviously asking for money!
Dean Zhang was filled with anger, but at this moment, if Lin Fan and Liu Yu had indeed escaped, the consequences would be unimaginable. Dean Zhang thought to first figure things out before dealing with this tiring old man, so he pulled out some bills and handed them to the old man!
The old man greedily stuffed the money into his pocket, and as he flipped his hand, veins bulged on his arm, giving off a sense of strength!
The old man said, "That couple just left, and they seemed to be in a hurry!"
"Damn it! They dared to escape, old man, do you know which way they went?" Dean Zhang asked urgently.
"Let me take you there!"
As he spoke, the old man led the way outside the building, Dean Zhang gave a signal and quickly followed behind the old man!
Leaving the residential area of the hospital, the old man led Dean Zhang into a small grove!
The cold wind blew, rustling the leaves and branches, creating an eerie sound that chilled the listeners. There was no one else around, yet on the ground were a few deep pits, looking freshly dug, seemingly meant for burying coffins!
The old man stopped inside the grove!
Seeing this, Dean Zhang instantly felt a sense of foreboding!
"Old man! Why did you bring us here? Where are the people we’re looking for?" Dean Zhang shouted.
But the old man didn’t respond!
"Damn it! Daring to play deaf with me, you’re definitely tired of living!"
A thug shouted, taking large strides towards the old man, gripping a steel pipe, clearly ready to strike!
"Swish!"
Suddenly, a slicing sound tore through the air, and a flash of coldness swept horizontally!
The old man suddenly turned but the thug rushing towards him stood motionless!
"What... what’s going on?" Dean Zhang’s voice carried a hint of terror!
Soon, the old man lightly poked the thug, who then collapsed heavily to the ground, revealing a bloody line across his throat, blood gushing out!
"He... killed someone!"
Seeing this scene scared Dean Zhang and the thugs considerably; they were only used to intimidating people, but actual murder was beyond anyone’s daring!
"Run!"
Someone yelled out, and the thugs didn’t bother about Dean Zhang; they turned to flee!
Yet the old man moved through the air rapidly, not resembling an elderly man, but a vigorous youth!
In the blink of an eye, the old man caught up with the remaining thugs, brandishing a dagger swiftly; the keen blade glistening coldly in the light, leaving trails of cold light in the air!
Three strokes later...
The rest of the thugs lay lifeless on the ground!
At this moment, Dean Zhang fell to the ground, shaking all over, his pants stained wet with liquid – he had lost control of his bladder!
After all, he was just an ordinary man, bullies the weak but never witnessed such violence, much less participated in it!
Seeing the old man coming over, Dean Zhang trembled in fear, "Who... who are you? Don’t... don’t kill me!"
The old man didn’t reply, swiftly approaching Dean Zhang, his dagger swinging ruthlessly, leaving a menacing cold light slicing through Dean Zhang’s throat, causing blood to spray forth!
"Blame yourself for crossing people you can’t afford to!"
The old man said coldly, discarding his dagger, subsequently throwing Dean Zhang and the thugs’ bodies into the pre-dug pits, burying them!
Then, the old man reached to touch his face, rubbed his chin a few times before tearing a layer of skin off, revealing a completely new face!
Sharp brows, delicate almond eyes, chiselled face, emotionless, resembling a stern poker face, extraordinarily cold!
This person was indeed a young man, probably in his twenties!
On closer examination, he actually bore some resemblance to Liu Yu!
...
At this moment, in Liu Yu’s room!
After finishing her painting, Liu Yu slipped under her covers, facing her easel, her beautiful eyes fixed on it, as if she was sharing a bed with the person within!
Outside, the cold wind incessantly howled, causing the curtain on the window to billow!
"Clack!"
Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out, effortlessly reaching Liu Yu’s ears!
Liu Yu’s tightly closed lovely eyes snapped open, with a cold gleam that was imposing; starkly different from her previous innocence and softness!
"Who’s there? Show yourself!"
Liu Yu shouted sternly!
Soon, the curtain stirred, and a shadow stepped out slowly!
The person was the same young man who had just assassinated Dean Zhang and the thugs!
