"Nothing much, just made a bet with Miss Chang. She was afraid I'd run off, so she sent some bodyguards to follow me," Er Zhu replied, his tone calm. However, the three women's faces turned extremely grim upon hearing this.
"The Chang family? You mean the Chang family that ranks second in Huabei City?" Lin Qingqing's eyes darted around, as if recalling something, and she quickly asked with wide eyes for confirmation.
"Yes!" Er Zhu nodded slightly and briefly recounted the day's events. The room fell into a deathly silence, time seeming to stand still.
"Er Zhu, are you crazy? Congenital polio can't be cured. Do you really think you're a celestial being reincarnated?"
"Don't say any more. Er Zhu, you need to run quickly. We'll cover for you!"
"That's right, as long as you escape Huabei City, the Chang family won't be able to find you!"
...
About half an hour later, the words of Wang Xiaomei and the others broke the silence.
Someone contacted the bodyguards, and someone went to the second floor to pack Er Zhu's belongings. Only Li Mei stood resolutely by Er Zhu's side.
"It's just a congenital condition, it's nothing. Don't you believe me?"
Seeing the three women's flustered expressions, Er Zhu smiled dismissively. His rhetorical question left the three of them speechless.
Everything about Er Zhu from the past resurfaced in their minds. Recalling his superb medical skills, the three women finally calmed down.
"Then we won't leave either. If those bodyguards try to make a move, we can help you!"
Although the three women had calmed down, they still wouldn't leave. Wang Xiaomei, in particular, looked as if she was ready to face death.
"Do you think I need your help?"
Er Zhu was amused by Wang Xiaomei's words and posed another rhetorical question, silencing the three women once more.
Er Zhu's martial arts skills were as good as his medical skills. Even the martial arts champion of Huabei Province couldn't defeat Er Zhu, let alone mere bodyguards!
"Then we're going. Be careful."
After a long while, Liu Yan spoke. The three women looked at Er Zhu reluctantly, their eyes filled with worry.
Er Zhu didn't reply, merely waving his hand gently. In just a few minutes, all four women had left.
"Miss, four women left in a car."
From the bushes, a Chang family bodyguard quietly reported to Chang Xiaoning on the phone.
"Kill them!"
A cold voice commanded. The bodyguard agilely infiltrated Er Zhu's villa like a monkey.
On the other side, on the balcony of the Chang family's second floor, Chang Xiaoning watched in the direction Er Zhu had left, a sinister smile appearing on her lips.
This swindler dared to play tricks on her? Then she couldn't be blamed for being ruthless!
Meanwhile, at Ping Shan Villa.
Er Zhu sat cross-legged in the room. The spiritual energy within the house seemed to be drawn by something, constantly flowing towards Er Zhu.
Everyone thought that Er Zhu's room was filled with so many antiques because he liked them, but they didn't know that Er Zhu merely did it for his cultivation.
Fortunately, he was the largest antique dealer in Huabei Province, otherwise, his cultivation might have aroused suspicion.
As his true qi continuously increased, Er Zhu felt refreshed. He had even achieved a breakthrough!
*Hoo!*
Er Zhu took a deep breath and performed a final finishing move. A flash of spiritual light flickered in his eyes!
Of course, apart from him, no one else could perceive this spiritual light, even though it was so dazzling!
"Since you're here, stop hiding. Reveal yourselves."
The moment Er Zhu opened his eyes, he heard footsteps on the balcony. As soon as he spoke, more than a dozen bodyguards surrounded him!
"Kid, don't blame us for this. Blame yourself for being too stupid!"
"Exactly. Trying to outsmart the young lady like this is a death wish!"
As the leading bodyguard finished speaking, a man with a scar between his brows beside him sneered dismissively.
As soon as he said this, the bodyguards burst into laughter. Although their faces showed smiles, their eyes were like those of people looking at the dead!
"Noisy!"
Er Zhu swept his gaze over the bodyguards. Before they could react, Er Zhu had already thrown a punch!
His large fist sliced through the air at supersonic speed. The bodyguards reacted, but they had no time to act!
*Boom!*
Instantly, three bodyguards fell directly from the balcony. The other bodyguards were also affected by the shockwave and fell to the ground!
One of them was even seriously injured!
"Go back and tell Miss Chang that she's lost this time!"
Er Zhu grabbed the neck of a bodyguard who was about to charge again. The bodyguard's face instantly turned red, and the feeling of being on the verge of death filled his eyes with terror!
But just as his neck was about to break, Er Zhu threw him away.
He wouldn't kill bodyguards; he found it beneath him.
As the bodyguard flew out, the other bodyguards retreated at the fastest speed possible!
This kid's skills were too great; they were no match for him!
Moreover, this was when he was holding back!
The bodyguards gasped, their eyes filled with shocked terror. They didn't dare to stay there for another second!
On the other side, Chang Xiaoning, having heard footsteps, thought the bodyguards had succeeded. She turned her head with a smile, but the smile froze on her face the moment she turned!
Not only had the bodyguards failed to bring back Wang Er Zhu's corpse, but they were all injured, and one of them was even dead!
A hint of shock flashed in Chang Xiaoning's furious eyes. She had thought Wang Er Zhu was just a liar, but now, it seemed things weren't that simple!
"What happened?"
Chang Xiaoning asked with a furrowed brow. The leading bodyguard, panting heavily, recounted everything that had just happened.
Chang Xiaoning's brow furrowed deeper as she listened. She looked at the bodyguards and then at her watch, her eyes filled with shock!
It had only been about twenty minutes since the bodyguards left, and in that time, they had injured her Chang family's bodyguards!
This was something that had never happened before!
"A bunch of useless trash, get out!"
Chang Xiaoning's face turned red as she waved her hand. The bodyguards quickly left, some even tumbling down the stairs!
Looking at the bodyguards' pathetic state, a hint of doubt flashed in Chang Xiaoning's shocked eyes. She needed to thoroughly investigate Wang Er Zhu's background!
Meanwhile, Er Zhu felt exceptionally refreshed after his cultivation. Just as he was about to go to bed, he heard a knock at the door.
"Er Zhu, are you home? It's me, Chen Xiaozhu."
The moment Er Zhu reached the door, he heard Chen Xiaozhu's voice from outside.
Although her voice was still somewhat cold, if one listened carefully, there was a trace of tenderness in it. If anyone else heard this voice, their jaws would surely drop!
The most aloof beauty in Kyoto not only knocked on a man's door in the middle of the night, but her voice was also so gentle!
"Xiaozhu, is something wrong?"
The moment Er Zhu opened the door, Chen Xiaozhu collapsed weakly onto the ground. Her clothes were stained with blood!
