Chapter 552 Acting on Orders

"No wonder you insisted on acquiring my assets. You're seeking revenge, aren't you!"

Seeing Er Zhu remain silent, Liu Lianliang knew he had guessed correctly.

When his daughter first mentioned this matter to him, he had found it incredible. He never expected this nouveau riche from the countryside to be Luo Feng, the eldest son of the Luo family in the capital!

"While what my daughter did was wrong, she was merely following orders. If you're so capable, why not seek revenge on the mastermind behind it all instead of coming after us?"

Liu Lianliang furrowed his brow, rage fueling his questioning as he thought about everything he had lost.

"Everyone involved in the harm to my Luo family will die!"

Er Zhu did not answer him, only uttering a seemingly irrelevant statement. Then, a flash of white light, and Liu Lianliang's head rolled to the ground!

Blood gushed out like a fountain. Looking at the father and daughter lying in a pool of blood, a trace of sorrow flashed in Er Zhu's eyes.

Dad, Mom, Grandpa, I've killed another person who hurt you. Are you happy?

In the desolate night, a gentle breeze swept by, as if in answer. Er Zhu took a deep breath, suppressing the anger and sorrow in his heart.

"Here, quickly!"

A few minutes later, Er Zhu heard Wang Xu's voice. When everyone rushed upstairs, they never expected to see such a scene.

Wang Xu was also stunned, but seeing the wound on Er Zhu's arm, he simply waved his hand. "Carry the bodies out. We'll rule this as self-defense."

"Captain, isn't this excessive force? He only sustained minor injuries, but these people are dead."

Before Wang Xu could finish speaking, a young police officer ran over. He pointed at Er Zhu, then at Liu Lianliang and his daughter.

"Then add resisting arrest! Er Zhu is a special consultant for our police force!"

Wang Xu, too tired to explain further to the officer, yelled. The officer's legs turned to jelly from fear, and he quickly carried the corpses away.

The other police officers naturally dared not say anything more. They quickly cleaned up everything and retreated as fast as possible.

"Er Zhu, you're not capable of handling it?" Seeing everyone leave, Wang Xu turned around, pointing worriedly at the still bleeding wound.

"It's fine. You should go back too." Er Zhu shook his head slightly, sensing movement outside the wall. He waved Wang Xu away.

Today's events must not be known by a second person, not even Wang Xu!

"Alright, then I'll be going. Take care of yourself."

Although Wang Xu didn't know why Er Zhu was asking him to leave, thinking of the two bodies, he could only comply.

These two were important fugitives. If mishandled, it could lead to serious trouble!

Watching Wang Xu leave, Er Zhu felt a potent killing intent behind him. He quickly grabbed a stack of papers from the table and spun around, bisecting the assailant!

Two masked men?

Er Zhu thought it was the person in the silver fox mask who had survived and come for revenge, but he hadn't expected it to be someone else!

The strength of these two was immense. Anyone else would have been dead by now!

*Swish!*

As Er Zhu looked at the assassin's corpse, a faint sound suddenly reached him. He looked up and saw the person in the silver fox mask holding a gun, smiling triumphantly at him!

At the same time, a bullet, moving at nearly supersonic speed, shot straight towards Er Zhu!

Er Zhu didn't hesitate. He grabbed the dead assassin and used him as a shield. Instantly, blood spurted out like a fountain!

The bullet pierced the dead body and flew towards Er Zhu. The bullet was so fast that Er Zhu couldn't dodge it!

The bullet tore through Er Zhu's thigh and lodged heavily in the wall a hundred meters away. Er Zhu's leg bled profusely!

Although the scene looked terrifying, only Er Zhu knew that his injury was not serious!

"Did you hand the Jade Butterfly over to the police?"

Looking at the gushing blood, the assassin slowly approached, his voice, altered by special treatment, speaking.

"Yes, but unfortunately, you can't kill me."

Er Zhu sat calmly in place, secretly taking out silver needles to stop his bleeding.

"Heh, is that so?"

The man sneered, and the dark muzzle of the gun pointed directly at Er Zhu's forehead!

Just as he was about to pull the trigger, a silver needle pierced his temple!

The man felt an unbearable splitting headache. He tried to muster the last of his strength to fire, but the pain was too intense!

*Bang!*

The man fell heavily to the ground, his exquisite silent pistol clattering away. By then, Er Zhu's bleeding had stopped.

"Er Zhu!"

"Master!"

At the same time, hearing the commotion, Lin Mo and Li Mei rushed over. Seeing the scene, they were both greatly startled.

"Lin Mo, clean this place up. Mei Jie, let's go to another room."

Er Zhu said nothing more, just giving instructions before preparing to leave. Li Mei quickly helped Er Zhu. Though filled with questions, she didn't ask any.

Sitting in the presidential suite, gazing at the distant city lights, Li Mei's eyes were filled with heartache and worry.

How many years had it been? She had never seen Er Zhu so badly injured. Would he die like this?

Thinking this, Li Mei quickly turned her gaze towards the direction of the washroom.

Heaven knew how much she wanted to rush in and take care of Er Zhu, but she knew she couldn't!

There was a difference between her and Er Zhu as man and woman!

There was a difference in their status!

Li Mei sighed, a tear rolling down her cheek. Her heart ached as if it were being cut by a knife!

While Li Mei was worrying about Er Zhu's injuries, his wounds had already healed, not even a scar remained!

Looking at his perfectly restored arm and thigh, a trace of surprise flashed in Er Zhu's eyes.

If he hadn't been injured, he wouldn't have known he possessed an extraordinary self-healing ability!

Recalling the wounds that had visibly healed, Er Zhu found it incredible. But then, thinking of the miraculous Heluo Divine Technique, he felt it was all as it should be.

"Er Zhu, are you done bathing? If you are, I'm coming in."

Er Zhu had intended to cultivate in the bathroom for a while, but upon hearing Li Mei's voice, he came out.

In the blink of an eye, a few minutes passed. Li Mei hadn't heard Er Zhu's reply, and her heart instantly tensed!

Had Er Zhu fainted from blood loss?

With this thought, Li Mei used all her strength to push the door open, but just then, the door opened, and she bumped directly into Er Zhu's arms!

Feeling his familiar presence, Li Mei was momentarily dazed. Er Zhu also hadn't expected to meet Li Mei in such a way.

Instantly, the temperature in the bathroom seemed to rise considerably. Li Mei even felt her breathing becoming difficult!

"I... I'm sorry, I..."

Li Mei, having regained her senses, quickly apologized and tried to leave. But in her haste, her foot slipped, and she fell to the ground.

A searing pain shot through her. She felt as though her waist was about to break!

At this moment, Er Zhu also came back to his senses. He picked her up. Looking at her resolute face, Li Mei felt the pain lessen considerably...
