It seems they intend to wipe me out completely!
Lu Jianguo revealed that the reason I haven't taken action since returning is likely due to the old man holding them off. How the old man died at their hands is something I still don't know clearly!
Since they plan to strike first, there's no time to waste! However, it's best if I don't act just yet; after all, making a rash move here could lead to disaster! Not only would I be done for, but it would also endanger many others. Therefore, I plan to let Xiao Xiao take action. Her Corpse Qi has reached great mastery, and some surveillance equipment can't even capture her presence!
With the decision made, all that's left is to wait for Xiao Xiao.
To my surprise, Xiao Xiao readily agreed and said she would need four hours!
So, I'll give Xiao Xiao four hours to eliminate these despicable people. If she returns by then, we can escape together. If she doesn't come back in four hours, it would mean she might never return, and I shouldn't foolishly wait around. It’s better to clean up and flee; otherwise, if I fall into the hands of the Special Incident Investigation Team, even if I survive, I would still suffer greatly. Those people only care about results and not the process; they could execute me without trial. I need to stay hidden!
I waited from deep night until the sun set the next day, but there was still no sign of her. Just as despair began to creep in, I suddenly heard a loud bang at my front door. Then, a faint smell of blood wafted into the courtyard with the cold wind—very subtle, but after working in this line of work, my nose is sharper than a dog's; I could identify such unique scents with ease. I quickly turned my gaze toward the doorway.
A dark figure slowly floated out from the entrance—a familiar silhouette—it was Xiao Xiao, but she was covered in blood and looked particularly fierce!
Our eyes met in mid-air; Xiao Xiao clearly froze for a moment before gently turning her head away and awkwardly saying, "I'm back!"
"You were killing for me; how could I sleep?"
I shook my head lightly and asked slowly, "Is everything taken care of?"
Xiao Xiao's expression turned serious as she replied, "Yes!"
I emphasized my words: "How many did you kill? Are there any survivors from the Dong Family?"
"I sent them on their way—more accurately, I sent their entire family on their way."
Xiao Xiao bit her lip, and after a long while, she suddenly realized, "It seems a few have escaped!"
"Escaped? Oh no, do you know that escaping is even worse! Did you find out why they wanted to get rid of the old man?"
Xiao Xiao fell silent, staring at me in shock. After a long time, she softly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't think of that."
"Forget about it for now."
I waved my hand and said solemnly, "You go prepare; we need to leave right now and escape!"
Xiao Xiao continued to stare at me in disbelief.
"What are you staring at?"
I couldn't help but exclaim, "If we don't leave now, we might not get the chance! Why are you still standing there like a fool?"
As soon as I finished speaking, Xiao Xiao suddenly hugged me tightly, burying her head in my shoulder and quietly sobbing, repeatedly mumbling, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
I sighed; this was all my decision. It was my fault for not being clear about things; it had nothing to do with her. Although I felt bad inside, there was nothing I could do. This was a matter of life and death for everyone. My earlier agitation gradually subsided. I patted Xiao Xiao's shoulder and hesitated for a moment, realizing I was at a loss for words. I couldn't come up with any grand declarations of solidarity. After struggling for a bit, I finally managed to say, "Let's go! We’ll take revenge on the Water Blue Sect!"
"Okay."
Xiao Xiao nodded, and then I let her and Lu Jianguo gather their things. There wasn't much to take—just a few pieces of clothing and the gear needed for the mission.
As for where to chase them down, I had no idea myself; I could only follow Lu Jianguo's plan. We headed southward, towards the coast. That guy from the Water Blue Sect, Birdman, would definitely be around there. We needed to take care of them first.
There wasn't much to pack, and I had everything ready in less than two hours. Just as I was about to get into the car, my phone rang again.
The call was from an unknown number, one of those that don't even display a phone number—just the words "Unknown Number." Such calls are usually encrypted, either scams or something else entirely. I was already feeling frustrated and didn't want to waste time with these scammers, so I hung up immediately.
Not long after hanging up, my phone buzzed with a text message. I opened it to find that it was from the same unknown number. The message was simple: "If I'm not mistaken, you must be thinking about running away, right? Or have you already started packing your luggage? But I advise you to save your energy; you can't escape now. If you don't want to die, it's best to answer my call!"
Who the hell is this?
I was taken aback, sensing that the person calling me was no ordinary individual.
While I was pondering this, the phone rang again—still the same unknown number.
What comes as fortune may also bring misfortune!
I took a deep breath, gritted my teeth, and pressed the answer button.
As soon as the call connected, a calm male voice came through the receiver: "Don't ask who I am; you just need to know that we have some history together, and we still have a deal that hasn't been settled yet. So you can't leave just yet!"
"A deal?"
I felt confused and instinctively asked, "Who exactly are you? As for deals, I, Xia Ji, only engage in one-time transactions. Once it's done, it's done—there are no loose ends!"
"No, we definitely have an unfinished deal between us."
The man's voice carried a hint of mockery as he continued, "Alright, that's not the issue at hand right now. I think we'll meet soon enough. However, before we do, you'd better listen to me. If you don't want to suffer, put down your weapons and go outside. Remember, if you don't want trouble, it's best not to resist! And let me add one last thing: encountering me is your lucky break; otherwise, you'd be dead by now!"
"Go outside?"
I was a bit stunned. "What for? What's out there?"
"Haha, you'll find out if you go take a look, you foolish child!"
The man's voice was filled with arrogance as he laughed loudly and then hung up on me!
At that moment, perhaps noticing my strange expression and tone, Lu Jianguo, who was ready to drive, asked me, "What's going on?"
I fell into silence and hesitation.
Could I trust this man?
After struggling for a long time, I finally decided to listen to him just this once and go take a look without resisting!
I had a faint feeling that if I didn't believe him, I might end up regretting it. After all, it was just a glance; it couldn't be that serious!
I took a deep breath to release the tension building in my chest, gritted my teeth, and said to Lu Jianguo beside me, "Get out of the car. Let's go see what's happening outside."
