After half a minute, he struggled to get up, but as he moved, his body throbbed with pain, and he let out a pained cry.
Immediately, someone rushed in. It was a bodyguard, who asked, "Sir, what's wrong?"
Liu Wuque said angrily, "A bunch of useless people! Someone broke into my mansion, and you didn't even know?"
The bodyguards exchanged glances. Someone had broken in?
Liu Wuque finally managed to stand up and sat on a chair, cold sweat pouring down his face. At that moment, a bodyguard exclaimed, "Huh?" and picked up a note from the table. "What's this?" Da Feng Novel Network.
Liu Wuque took the note and opened it. It read: The Han family cannot be bullied!
Liu Wuque was furious. "It was that little girl from the Han family! I'll flay her alive!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was gripped by agonizing abdominal pain, and he cried out again, "Quick, to the hospital!"
Ye Tian left the Liu residence and went directly to find Ren Ping. It was already eleven o'clock at night when he arrived at Ren Ping's place.
Ren Ping's wife had already gone to bed, so he waited for Ye Tian downstairs, and they went directly to a nearby midnight restaurant.
The restaurant had private rooms and a very pleasant atmosphere. Ren Ping ordered some dishes, took out the wine, and said with a smile, "I originally planned to cook myself, but it's too late, so we'll just make do with eating out."
Ye Tian asked, "Old Ren, you seem to have some authority. Did you get promoted?"
Ren Ping chuckled, "You could say that. I've been promoted from deputy to full-time, and I have more responsibilities and worries."
Ye Tian replied, "Then I must congratulate you."
After two drinks, Ren Ping handed Ye Tian a document and said, "Everything you wanted is in here."
Ye Tian set it aside and said, "I'll have to trouble you a lot in the future."
Ren Ping smiled, "We're all friends here. Cheers!"
At that moment, the waiter brought the dishes. As soon as the food was served, Ren Ping took out a small box containing various reagents and tested the dishes for poison.
Ye Tian shook his head, "You're too cautious for a spy chief. Are you afraid of being poisoned even when you go out for a meal?"
Ren Ping sighed, "There's no other way. My two predecessors didn't have good endings. One died from poisoning, and the other died in a car accident. How can I not be careful?"
They sat by the window. Outside, the lights were brilliant. Ye Tian casually glanced across the road and saw a man in a black trench coat looking at them.
The man's right hand was in his pocket, and something was protruding – the dark muzzle of a gun!
"Boom!"
He pulled Ren Ping, and they instantly dove to the ground.
"Bang!"
A bullet whizzed over their heads and hit the wall opposite. The thirty-centimeter-thick concrete wall was directly penetrated!
Ren Ping cursed. Ye Tian picked up a chopstick and flicked it outwards. The chopstick pierced through the hole and flew directly towards the man in the trench coat.
"Thwack!"
The chopstick embedded itself in the man's leg, piercing to the bone. He grunted and turned to leave.
Ye Tian said sternly, "I'll chase him!"
He punched through the glass and shot out like an arrow. Within seconds, he was behind the fleeing man in the trench coat and kicked him in the back.
"Pfft!"
The man spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground. Ye Tian grabbed his neck, and the man's body went limp, unable to move.
Before long, Ren Ping caught up. He wiped his sweat and motioned for Ye Tian to drag the man into a nearby alley.
In the darkness, Ren Ping stared coldly at the man in the black trench coat and asked, "I won't waste words. You know my methods. Speak, and I'll spare your life!"
The other man closed his eyes and said, "I won't say anything."
Ye Tian sneered, "You will."
He took out his immortal needles and pricked several acupoints on the man, then recited an incantation. Instantly, the man's eyes became glazed.
Ye Tian asked, "Who sent you to assassinate Ren Ping?"
