Nen Mao Ren

Chapter 97 Revisiting Old Grounds, Jin Kaiyu, Cause of Death

Just as Chu Tian and Luo Luo were about to ask, a Volkswagen sedan suddenly appeared, speeding towards them.

Seeing it heading straight for Luo Luo, Chu Tian grabbed her and pulled her closer, switching their positions.

The sedan sped past. Chu Tian dodged the front, but couldn't avoid the side-view mirror.

*Crack...*

The side-view mirror broke and fell to the ground. Chu Tian stumbled back a couple of steps.

"Damn, that hurt like hell!" Chu Tian clutched his lower back.

The car didn't stop, disappearing at high speed.

Gao Kai and Luo Luo quickly helped him up. "Brother, are you okay?"

"I'm alright. Hey, Heng Dao, is this how people drive where you're from?"

Seeing Chu Tian joking, Gao Kai and Luo Luo were a little relieved.

"Do you need to go to the hospital?" Gao Kai asked awkwardly, hearing Chu Tian's jest.

"No, it was just a graze," Chu Tian said.

"Got it!" Gao Kai responded and took out his phone. "Lei Zi, a Volkswagen sedan is heading your way. Tell Xiao Liu to intercept it. The license plate is..."

Chu Tian saw Gao Kai calling Zhao Lei and naturally knew what he intended to do.

He was amazed that Gao Kai had remembered the license plate number while the car was traveling at such speed!

As expected of a former ace sniper, his eyesight was truly exceptional.

Luo Luo had intended to help Chu Tian to Heng Dao's place to rest, but Heng Dao said they should wait for Zhao Lei and the others. This was Xiao Liu's residential area, and he didn't have a key.

Not long after, the Paramount Marauder from the distance drove back.

As soon as Zhao Lei got out of the car, he said, "It's over. Xiao Liu's driving skills have gone to waste after retiring. He couldn't even catch a damn Volkswagen."

"Damn it, you try chasing it yourself. With so many cars, can I really drive this land tank and just crush them?" Jin Kaiyu retorted as he got out of the car, hearing Zhao Lei's jab.

"It's fine if you didn't catch it," Chu Tian said.

"We can't just let it go. I'll find someone to check the license plate later. I think it was intentional," Zhao Lei said, his words carrying an undercurrent of suspicion.

"Intentional?" The word caught Chu Tian's ear, and his expression grew serious as he murmured softly.

When he had passed the front of the car earlier, he had seen the driver inside, whose eyes had been so calm.

"What's wrong?" Luo Luo asked in a low voice.

"Nothing!" Chu Tian replied, hoping his feeling was wrong.

"Brother Tian, let me help you."

Zhao Lei took Chu Tian from Luo Luo's grasp.

Chu Tian, still holding his waist, followed them into the residential area.

They climbed the stairs all the way to the top floor of the sixth story, and Chu Tian thought they had arrived.

However, to his surprise, the three of them continued upwards, all the way to the rooftop.

Upon reaching the top, he was dumbfounded. This...

Before him was an illegally built corrugated iron house, and it looked quite old. The blue paint on the outside had already corroded and peeled off.

"You live here?" Luo Luo asked.

Looking at everything before him, Chu Tian's nose stung. How could he have forgotten? This was the place Zhao Lei had brought him to, the place he had hidden to avoid Huang Xueyi and leave Sheng Jing in his past life.

He had stayed on this floor for four years and hadn't gone downstairs, so he hadn't remembered this place when he descended.

At that time, Zhao Lei had brought him food every day. He had told Chu Tian that this was the place where one of his good brothers used to live.

However, that brother had died!

Could he be referring to Jin Kaiyu: Sheng Guang Hu You Zhe Ni?

No wonder when he first met Jian Zhi Cang Tian, he was alone and didn't have the players Heng Dao and Sheng Guang Hu You Zhe Ni by his side.

Oh, and Heng Dao too.

"Brother Kai, were you going abroad before entering Tian Dao?" Chu Tian boldly asked.

Everyone was stunned by Chu Tian's question.

Including Gao Kai himself, but he slowly nodded. "Yes!"

Receiving a positive confirmation, Chu Tian finally understood why he hadn't seen him and Sheng Guang Hu You Zhe Ni back then.

Considering what Zhao Lei had said in the game earlier, Chu Tian was certain they had become mercenaries.

As for Jin Kaiyu's death, it wasn't difficult to guess; he must have died during a mission.

Whether Gao Kai had died or not, he was unsure, as Zhao Lei hadn't mentioned it, nor had he ever told Chu Tian about Jin Kaiyu's situation.

Chu Tian had deduced all of this after arriving here.

"Brother Kai, listen to my advice, don't go. If you want to know why, I can tell you, because he will die," Chu Tian said, pointing at Jin Kaiyu.

Hearing Chu Tian's words, Gao Kai remained silent but looked at him deeply.

"Damn it, Brother Tian, you know what we're going to do?" Jian Zhi Cang Tian asked, surprised.

Chu Tian glanced at him. "Not you guys, but them!"

"Ah?" Zhao Lei turned to look at the other two.

"This...!" Jin Kaiyu and Gao Kai exchanged glances, and then both of them chuckled.

Jin Kaiyu looked at Chu Tian with a strange gaze. "Boss, could it be that you can really predict fortunes, just like Lei Zi said?"

"What do you mean? Were you two planning not to take me?" Zhao Lei was furious, genuinely angry.

He grabbed Jin Kaiyu by the collar and asked.

At this moment, his entire face was flushed red, showing how truly angry he was.

"Lei Zi, let go," Gao Kai went up and pulled him away.

"Lei Zi, listen to me. You still have parents, but Xiao Liu and I are alone in the world. That's why we initially didn't plan to take you with us," Gao Kai said.

At this moment, Luo Luo glared fiercely at Chu Tian, implying: Look at you, you just got here and almost caused a fight between brothers. Is there anything you *can't* mess up? Absolutely nothing!

Chu Tian awkwardly rubbed his nose. "Ahem, Lei Zi, calm down, talk less. Later, I'll have your future sister-in-law introduce you to a beautiful girl."

His words instantly captured Zhao Lei's attention. He released Jin Kaiyu's collar and turned to look at Luo Luo.

"Sister-in-law, is that true?"

Luo Luo's hand, which was on Chu Tian's soft flesh, instantly completed a 360-degree turn.

Chu Tian immediately broke out in a cold sweat from the pain, but he forced himself to appear nonchalant.

"There are plenty of beautiful girls, I'm just afraid that if I introduce one to you, you won't be able to handle it!" Luo Luo said to Zhao Lei with a smile, her small hand still twisting Chu Tian's soft flesh.

"Can't handle it?" Zhao Lei held up his hands. "I can grip my pistol steady, so what's too big for me to handle?"

As he spoke, he made a grabbing motion in front of his eyes.

"Haha, oh my..." Chu Tian couldn't help but burst into laughter seeing his expression.

However, the moment he laughed, Luo Luo jabbed him in the waist with a short punch.

Coincidentally, it landed on the spot where he had been hit by the side-view mirror.

This jab hurt even more than the car, and it was delivered with focused power.

The pain made Chu Tian's legs go weak, and he almost fell.
