Shua!
Ren Tu's speed was extremely fast. As a former top assassin, his attacks were quick, precise, and fierce.
However, Chu Lingtian, who was sitting on the sofa smoking, possessed an even more formidable and terrifying prowess.
The moment the dagger in Ren Tu's hand struck, Chu Lingtian vanished from the sofa.
Ren Tu's face turned ashen with shock. He had roamed the underworld and the legitimate world for most of his life, having killed countless people and encountered numerous experts. Yet, he had never met anyone like Chu Lingtian before.
"You, why didn't you kill me?"
After standing frozen for three seconds, Ren Tu's voice trembled as he asked.
Because when Ren Tu had attacked Chu Lingtian, Chu Lingtian had suddenly disappeared from the sofa. When Ren Tu sensed Chu Lingtian's presence again, Chu Lingtian was already standing behind him, with a fruit knife pressed against his back.
If Chu Lingtian had applied a little more pressure with the fruit knife, Ren Tu's heart would have been pierced, and he would have died on the spot. Yet, Chu Lingtian had delayed the killing blow.
"Killing you would be very easy, but I don't like to kill people without a clear reason. I doubt you'd want to die for no reason either."
Chu Lingtian replied indifferently.
Ren Tu asked in a deep voice, "What exactly do you mean?"
"Go and investigate thoroughly again. If you are certain that I killed Masu, then come back to seek revenge. If you find out that I didn't kill Masu, then find the one who is truly responsible."
Chu Lingtian said.
"Alright!"
Ren Tu was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
At this point, Ren Tu understood. Perhaps someone wanted to use him to kill Chu Lingtian, and Masu's death was a frame-up.
Given Chu Lingtian's exceptional skills and power, subduing the renowned assassin Ren Tu with a single move, it was indeed unlikely he would kill and then deny it.
Letting Ren Tu live to hunt down the treacherous and malicious individual who framed him was also a stratagem Chu Lingtian had just conceived. This was a case of fighting fire with fire.
After Ren Tu left, Chu Lingtian finished the rest of his cigarette and fell asleep on the sofa.
The next morning, Chu Lingtian drove with Liu Bingxue to the company.
"Last night, you were the one who carried my sister into my room?"
Liu Bingxue's icy gaze fixed on Chu Lingtian, who was driving.
"Yes."
Chu Lingtian replied.
"Why?"
Liu Bingxue pressed.
"Because I wanted to sleep on the sofa."
Chu Lingtian casually said.
Liu Bingxue fumed, "My sister was sleeping naked last night, not wearing a single thing. You must have touched her in certain places when you carried her. Shameless!"
Chu Lingtian smiled and remained silent.
Liu Bingxue could do nothing to Chu Lingtian, so she could only glare at him fiercely before turning her head to look out the window.
Upon arriving at the company, Chu Lingtian walked into the security booth in the underground parking lot and called Bai Mei.
Bai Mei had called Chu Lingtian earlier on the way, but he hadn't answered.
"Honey, you finally called me back. The entire underworld and legitimate world of Dachang City are in chaos. Many experts sent by the four major families and the Jiang family from the capital are turning Dachang City upside down, searching everywhere for Jiang Huan."
Bai Mei's voice, tinged with anxiety and worry, came from the other end of the phone.
"Help me find out where those experts from the Jiang family are staying."
Chu Lingtian said.
"What do you want to do?"
Bai Mei asked, her voice laced with suspicion.
Chu Lingtian sneered, "Send them some gifts."
