Chapter 2574 - 2638: Revenge
The others hurried to stop him, but it was too late, as Fu Changsu had already gone mad and shoved the girl out the window. Her small strength was no match for Fu Changsu, and she slipped, falling outward.
With a scream, the girl tried to grab the window frame, but her body had already bent backward, and at this moment Fu Changsu still felt no remorse, continuing to push maniacally. He even ripped away a piece of cloth, and in an instant, the girl fell from the mere four-story building, landing silently on the ground.
What followed was what Zhang Tianxing witnessed: seeing someone dead from the fall, Fu Changsu panicked. Frightened, he quickly fled with others, calling his father on the way. His father’s first reaction to hearing his son had caused trouble was to say it was okay, and then he began to find people to handle the matter.
The girl’s family was an ordinary one, and even as teachers and civil servants, it was useless. Fu Changsu’s father was a businessman with many friends, and Fu Changsu claimed the girl had jumped herself, placing the main responsibility off him. Thus, the police handled the case that way, and the girl’s parents didn’t even know who the murderer was. Though they refused to believe their daughter would suddenly develop a mental illness and jump out the window, they had nowhere to seek justice.
Once the matter was clear, Zhang Tianxing was in an extreme state of anger. The girl he liked being pushed off the fourth floor, left him feeling compelled to act on his skills, otherwise it would be an affront to himself. Moreover, even if the girl survived, she might have to spend her life in a wheelchair, which plunged Zhang Tianxing into a fury.
The main culprit was this man named Fu Changsu, who committed evil but remained free. How could Zhang Tianxing endure this!
A few days later, Zhang Tianxing, carrying a backpack, appeared inside a villa that was a Fu family property. Today, Fu Changsu was hosting a banquet there. After the gathering drank heavily, each guy went off with a girl for some frivolous act. Zhang Tianxing scaled the walls in the dark, having already scoped out the place. For someone from the Flying Hawk Squad, not being able to do even this would be an oddity.
It was already late at night, and the people inside were either drunk or fooling around. Zhang Tianxing directly snuck into Fu Changsu’s room. Fu Changsu was entangled with two naked women at the time. Wasting no words, Zhang Tianxing knocked out the two women, and as Fu Changsu was just reacting, Zhang Tianxing struck.
With people like this, Zhang Tianxing never wastes words. He crippled Fu Changsu’s genitals immediately without killing him. Although Zhang Tianxing wanted to kill, it wasn’t during a mission, and even if the other party was detestable, vigilante justice couldn’t go as far as killing. But living punishment was indispensable; Zhang Tianxing not only crippled his genitals but also broke both his arms.
Having done this, he left quietly, as the music downstairs kept playing, the young ones continued their debauchery, and no one noticed that Fu Changsu had been crippled.
This was only the first step. Although Fu Changsu received punishment, his father was equally despicable, rich but lacking virtue. With just a little investigation, Zhang Tianxing could uncover plenty of negative rumors about Fu Yingwei. These rumors were enough to incite Zhang Tianxing’s fury, so he decided to also punish Fu Yingwei!
However, Fu Yingwei was a billionaire known in the region, always surrounded by several bodyguards. Zhang Tianxing guessed that the guards might even carry guns. Fu Yingwei’s operations included many mines, businesses typically hard to separate from the Underworld, making things more challenging.
Yet it was worthwhile. If something happened to Fu Yingwei, the public would probably speculate it was his enemies, rather than connecting it back to him. So, after dealing with Zhang Tianxing, he immediately spent over two hours arriving at another residence. This place was also a high-end villa area, with strict security. After some effort sneaking in, Zhang Tianxing knocked out a few guards, and just as he was about to enter Fu Yingwei’s room, he unexpectedly stumbled upon a deal.
As it turned out, Fu Yingwei and his men were hosting another group that night. Both sides were engaged in a deal when Zhang Tianxing happened upon them. The other party consisted of blond-haired, blue-eyed individuals, one of whom spoke broken Chinese. Listening to a few words, Zhang Tianxing was shocked by mentions of secrets and policies. His language skills weren’t as good as Li Yifei’s, so he didn’t catch everything. But from those words alone, he instinctively associated the situation with espionage.
Indeed, that was the case. Silently, Zhang Tianxing hid until the deal was concluded and the foreigners left. Only then did Fu Yingwei have a brief meeting with his people before Zhang Tianxing took action.
As suspected, this was espionage activity. After some investigation, Zhang Tianxing became more certain, filled with great anger. He immediately sought out Fu Yingwei. He had previously captured spies and corrupt officials across borders while in the Flying Hawk Squad, swiftly acted, and this was no different. Although retired, his patriotic heart had never changed.
However, Zhang Tianxing underestimated Fu Yingwei’s caution. His villa not only had various cameras but also some special traps. Such places usually had no visitors, but Zhang Tianxing accidentally triggered a mechanism, setting off an immediate alarm. As the alarm blared fiercely, Zhang Tianxing hurriedly left, but the villa’s security had already surrounded him.
He had no gun in his hand, and his backpack at most held two daggers. Meeting head-on would surely be a disadvantage, so Zhang Tianxing quickly climbed up the villa and dashed to the other side, intending to jump into the pool and swim to the other side to climb over the wall and escape.
The idea was good, but who would have thought the villa had so many thugs hidden inside, these people pursued him frantically.
If Zhang Tianxing hadn’t come from the Flying Hawk Squad and hadn’t experienced many big winds and waves over the years, with his astonishing individual combat capability, he might have been directly killed that time.
Even so, he had his arm cut off and his foot was hit by a car. But the car that hit him was quickly commandeered, and enduring the excruciating pain, Zhang Tianxing frantically drove away, with pursuers tightly following behind. Eventually, in desperation, Zhang Tianxing jerked the steering wheel, the car rushed out from the bridge pier and flew directly into the river.
In mid-air, Zhang Tianxing kicked open the car door and jumped into the water, thus avoiding the danger of being trapped in the car. Naturally, the pursuers couldn’t be so reckless, so they stood by the shore continually cursing, finally allowing Zhang Tianxing to narrowly escape death.
But his wish for revenge against Fu Yingwei fell through, and he himself was also left disabled, plunged into the icy river water. Zhang Tianxing knew he must deal with his wounds quickly. He certainly couldn’t cultivate like Li Yifei, and when he fell into the river water, he knew he must promptly stop the bleeding from his arm’s broken end. Otherwise, soaked in water, he would soon faint due to excessive bleeding, and even if he didn’t pass out, given his current state, staying too long in the water was definitely not good.
Of course, at this moment, his hand hadn’t completely severed, and Zhang Tianxing was a tough guy. Such danger wasn’t his first encounter, and his extraordinary physical resilience manifested at this point. Floating two kilometers downstream, he swam onto the shore from the opposite bank. Here was a factory area, where Zhang Tianxing found some sharp rocks, smashed his nearly severed hand, and tightly bound his arm with wire.
This incident wasn’t too big nor too small. If he could exact revenge on Fu Yingwei, there’d be no trouble, but the essence now was that he had alerted the enemy, was pursued by Fu Yingwei’s people, and if discovered by them, Zhang Tianxing reckons he’d be in big trouble!
Understanding this, Zhang Tianxing needed to quickly take care of his body,
However, while the severed hand could be endured, the other foot was twisted from the car impact, making mobility inconvenient. He needed to leave here quickly; otherwise, if pursued again, jumping into the river might prove futile.
Fashioning a crutch from wood, Zhang Tianxing discarded his backpack, keeping only two daggers, and left limping.
Li Yifei and Zheng Mingrui, upon hearing this, both widened their eyes, sparks of anger blazing, as if about to erupt. Zhang Tianxing, recalling the scene, couldn’t help but grin, somewhat with lingering fear, saying: "This is the perennial catching of geese, yet being pecked in the eye. Thankfully, things went smoothly back then, hadn’t gone far before I spotted a motorcycle, went over and stole it. Speaking of which, I might owe an apology to the owner! At that moment, escaping was the priority, couldn’t bother about much else, rode away more than twenty kilometers in one go. By then, extremely exhausted and hungry, my body needed replenishing, lest it wouldn’t hold up for long. So, I first ate, then got some money, bought many drugs at the all-night pharmacy. Having learned emergency bandages in the army, they worked well then, such things aren’t an obstacle for me. Hid in the woods and dealt with my arm simply. As for the foot... there wasn’t much viable option then, judging it as irreversible bone damage, could only leave it as it was. Who knew that later, after visiting a hospital, found it was too late, blamed my own healing ability for being too strong!"
"It should be treatable, don’t worry about that, just might endure some suffering!" Li Yifei comforted.
"Boss, don’t console me; though ugly now, it doesn’t affect my life!" Zhang Tianxing chuckled, then continued.
After simple treatment, Zhang Tianxing endured the pain and drove to Lin City, checked into a hotel, bought a large amount of medication, anti-inflammatory, antibiotics, and such. He knew his condition was better suited for hospital treatment, but there was no choice. Visiting a hospital for bandaging at this time might indeed be found by Fu Yingwei’s people. For a billionaire, such investigation shouldn’t be difficult.
This rest lasted nearly a month, Zhang Tianxing’s wound somewhat healed but hadn’t completely recovered. The agony suffered during this period couldn’t be articulated. If just the severed hand, it wouldn’t be so inconvenient; that foot and ankle continually tortured him.
