My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 318 - 315 Feng Xiu
Chapter 318: 315 Feng Xiu
Chapter 318: 315 Feng Xiu
Lu Wu felt that Beijing really didn’t mesh well with him.
The last time he came to Beijing, something happened.
And this time in Beijing, something happened as well.
Moreover, this time the incident was clearly bigger than the last one.
Even if Lu Wu hadn’t been fully involved, based on the information he knew, he could smell the stirring undercurrents and the brewing storms.
Add to that his experiences during this time and the people he had encountered.
Two women, both likely ex-lovers of Old Lu, had come to him with benefits as soon as he arrived.
One, Xing Zhanlong, who wasn’t very bright, suspected that his sister had been deceived by Old Lu and that he himself had been cuckolded by Old Lu.
And Du Dao Hu Zi, who explicitly harbored ill intentions towards him and was likely abandoned by Old Lu after starting something messy.
Lu Wu was pondering Old Lu’s character.
Suddenly, he felt that the vast expanse of Beijing was exceptionally cold.
Walking on the streets now, Lu Wu was terrified, dreading that some old lover or enemy of Old Lu might jump out and try to castrate him with a knife.
It’s safe to say that he felt extremely insecure.
Therefore, the day after the finals, Lu Wu proposed to leave Beijing.
He couldn’t stand this wretched place any longer; he didn’t even want to use the token Xing Zhanlong had given him. He just wanted to get as far away as possible.
Of course, it would be best if he could completely sever the father-son relationship with Old Lu.
But that wasn’t something he could decide on his own.
It wasn’t up to Old Lu either; his lovers and enemies would have to agree.
So, leaving Beijing was a more reliable choice, escaping this dangerous whirlpool to go back to Jiangnan and keep a low profile.
However, leaving Beijing turned out to be a bit troublesome for Lu Wu.
After all, he was the champion of the university league, and with the incident that occurred during the finals of the university league, even Xing Zhanlong had been detained for investigation afterward, so Lu Wu was somewhat implicated.
Further, with potential trouble brewing behind the scenes, Lu Wu felt it might be difficult to leave.
However, what Lu Wu didn’t expect was that
his departure request was approved very quickly as if someone was protecting him, allowing Lu Wu to leave Beijing.
Although Lu Wu didn’t know the situation or who exerted this influence,
being able to leave was naturally the best outcome.
Lu Wu happily packed his bags and, together with Dudu and Li Kai, pulled his bodyguard Tie Xiong—who had disappeared for some time—back into the fold.
A group of them happily drove back to Jiangnan in the same RV they had come in, leaving Old Zhang and the others to collect the awards.
The moment the RV drove out of Beijing,
Lu Wu felt as if he had shed a layer of heavy shackles, and his whole person relaxed.
He felt an exhilarating sense of freedom, as if he could roam the vast skies and seas.
However, Lu Wu’s happiness lasted only three hours before it was abruptly cut short.
Just three hours after they left Beijing, somebody appeared in front of their RV and blocked their way.
The blocker was a young man.
He appeared to be in his late twenties, dressed in a fitting suit, a black shirt and a white jacket, with a blood-red skull pin on his chest.
The man stopped the car, and politely said to the driver Li Kai, “Sorry, I’m lost. Could I possibly get a lift?”
“We’re sorry, our car is full!”
Before Li Kai could respond, Lu Wu, sensing something off and coming over to check, outright rejected them.
Even if he were senseless, he wouldn’t consider picking up someone dressed like that and blocking the road in such a remote area, especially not a man covered in question marks.
The man saw Lu Wu and smiled.
“I think we could squeeze in if we try.”
Lu Wu didn’t respond; there was no need to. He immediately instructed Li Kai to drive off.
He also ordered Tie Xiong and Yue Ying to be ready to strike without hesitation if this guy made any suspicious move.
Lu Wu’s decision was quite resolute, but it was still a step too late.
Before Li Kai could start the car, the man had already entered the vehicle.
The young man, whose entry method was unknown, took a look around the inside of Lu Wu’s RV and grinned, “See, I told you we could squeeze in.”
As he spoke, he sat down on the sofa in the vehicle, just two meters away from a confused Dudu who had no idea what was going on.
At this distance, Lu Wu couldn’t possibly make a move.
Dudu, still confused, was somewhat curious about this suddenly appearing stranger.
“Who is this guy, Lu Wu? How did he suddenly get in?”
“Me?” The young man’s mouth curled up. “Oh right, I seem to have forgotten to introduce myself.”
“Um, allow me to introduce myself, I’m Feng Xiu, 31 years old, one of the Five Ambassadors of the ‘Zero’ organization. I’m delighted to meet you, cute little girl.”
Feng Xiu said as he reached out to shake hands with Dudu, which startled her, causing her to run away holding Tuantuan, over to Lu Wu’s side.
Feng Xiu’s gaze followed Dudu, landing on Lu Wu, and he naturally extended his hand towards Lu Wu.
“Of course, I’m also pleased to meet you. I’ve long admired you.”
At that moment, Lu Wu was completely stunned by the man before him; he knew this fellow was no ordinary person, but he hadn’t expected he was the very person Xing Zhanlong had mentioned earlier.
He hadn’t expected this guy to have set his sights on him.
He thought he’d be safe after leaving Beijing, but trouble still followed him, causing Lu Wu considerable headaches.
Despite the headache, Lu Wu quickly calmed down.
“But I, on the other hand, am not so keen on seeing you. I wish you would leave!”
As Lu Wu spoke, Tie Xiong, standing beside him, stepped forward.
“Kid, do you want to leave on your own, or do you want my old man to beat you out?”
“Don’t be so agitated, I’m not a bad guy, nor do I have any ill intentions. I just wanted to come over, make friends, and chat.”
Feng Xiu was completely unfazed by the old man’s threats. He stood up, opened the fridge nearby, and started rummaging through it.
“Why is there only juice, no alcohol? Well, I’ll make do with this.”
This guy didn’t treat himself as an outsider at all, pulled out a bottle of pineapple beer from the fridge, opened it, took a sip, then sat back on the couch, enjoying the view outside the window.
Although Lu Wu was very displeased, considering the Power of the other party in this confined space, he didn’t dare let Tie Xiong and the others make their move rashly.
“What exactly do you want?”
“I’ve already told you, I just want to make friends and chat.
Oh, we haven’t started chatting yet, have we?
Hmm, let me think, what topic should we start with?
My purpose in coming to Beijing?
Hmm, that’s a good topic, I think it’s quite fitting for us to chat about.”
Feng Xiu didn’t give Lu Wu a chance to refuse, he just kept on talking: “I came to District 1 and entered Beijing to find a person, a not very honest partner.
He collaborated with us on a project, but then the project encountered some problems.
Oh yes, the project he collaborated on with us also involves you, remember Kong Yi?
The one you killed, he was our man, and he had clues to something very important.”
As Feng Xiu spoke of this, a sword light suddenly pierced through, striking Feng Xiu with deadly precision.
However, even though Feng Xiu was clearly stabbed, not a single drop of blood spilled. His lips even curled up into a sly smile at that moment: “So there is Power protecting it, huh?
It’s even Ghost Lady Yue Ying.
Lucky for me, I came prepared, and it’s not my real body, or I would be in real danger.”
As Feng Xiu spoke, his figure became an illusion, obviously damaged by Yue Ying’s sword.
At the same time, another sword light appeared, obliterating the duplicate.
Even though the duplicate was destroyed, intermittent voices still continued from the spot.
“Lucky I prepared, the duplicate’s gone but still can chat a bit.
You don’t want me to speak, but I insist.”
Another sword light appeared, striking at the source of the voice, but it couldn’t diminish the sound.
“Lu Wu listen well, first, that partner of ours is one of the Twelve Elders, he wants to use our blade to kill you guys.
Lin Jianying isn’t dead, he’s either in the hands of Jiang Yuexing, or in the hands of Zhang Yunyi, or possibly in the hands of our partner.
The item I was speaking about is the ‘Gate’, it can…”
The voice cut off before he could finish, disappearing entirely.
Inside Lu Wu’s RV, quietness returned once more.
But the ripples brought about by this single stone cast by Feng Xiu kept echoing.
Lu Wu fell into silence as well.
One by one, they are all desperate to drag him into the whirlpool.
Du Dao Hu Zi had done the same, and now this new guy popping up was no different.
This was considerably distressful for Lu Wu.
After a long, long silence, he finally spoke to Li Kai, “Uncle Li, please change our route.”
…
I’m thinking, maybe I should change the update timing, concentrate the daily updates between nine and ten at night.
Hmm, those in favor, raise your hands
