Meanwhile, the ringing phone beside him vibrated continuously!
Wu Shan’s heart jolted.
Although it was just a quick glance, he instantly recognized the two as his two subordinates.
The two who had just been messaging him were now lying on the ground; even if he was dull, he sensed something was wrong.
Whoosh!
Just then.
A whooshing sound suddenly came from his side.
“Hmm?”
Wu Shan’s eyes turned cold.
Without time to think too much.
He raised the extendable baton in his right hand and swung it with all his might.
Bang!
A muffled sound erupted in the air.
Wu Shan felt that his strike must have hit the opponent, but the sound that came out seemed a bit strange.
However, at this moment, he had no time to think further.
The next moment.
A sharp pain struck his abdomen, and blue-white electric arcs flashed twice.
Wu Shan felt his body go numb, and the extendable baton in his hand slipped, making a “clang” sound as it rolled into the corner.
His knees buckled, and he directly knelt on the ground.
Wu Shan actually didn't faint immediately.
He struggled to look up.
He saw a figure wearing a black hoodie and a mask appear before him.
All he could see was a pair of indifferent eyes looking coldly at him through the rain.
“You bastard…”
He even tried to force himself to stand up.
However, Hu Qi wouldn't give him that chance.
Taking a step forward.
He clenched his five fingers into a fist.
Stepping on the ground, twisting his waist, exerting force, he directly smashed his fist hard onto Wu Shan’s face.
Bang!
Crack!
The immense force made Wu Shan’s head snap back, and his body fell directly to the ground.
His nasal bone collapsed, and warm nosebleed flowed down his chin.
His entire face had four more bloody marks, almost numb, like thousands of ants gnawing at it.
Under this intense pain, Wu Shan’s eyes rolled back, and he directly fainted.
Hu Qi opened his palm, revealing the rhomboid knuckle duster hidden between his fingers, and after shaking off the blood.
He squatted down and began to search the three men.
What surprised him slightly was.
The three men had a considerable amount of cash on them.
Besides that, there were their phones.
Hu Qi looked at Wu Shan with a somewhat scrutinizing gaze.
This guy should be the leader of the first two.
However, there was no information about this person in the original owner’s memory.
Perhaps, the person who ordered him to act was someone else.
This guess was confirmed after using Wu Shan’s fingerprint to unlock his phone screen.
“So that’s how it is!”
Hu Qi’s eyes flickered as he scrolled through the chat content on the phone, roughly understanding the basic situation.
The original owner had previously caught his goddess entering another man’s luxury car.
He went to check and found the two kissing each other.
Unable to bear it for a moment, he went forward wanting to argue and even cursed the other party a couple of times.
As a result, he was severely beaten.
But even so, the other party was still angry.
Afterward, he gave these three men 100,000 yuan to beat the original owner into the hospital.
Today, he happened to go out and was seen by these three guys, who then reported it.
Then that guy added more money, telling them to beat him up again.
That’s how simple the matter was.
“Lu Shi…”
Hu Qi frowned.
He glanced at the three men lying motionless on the ground.
He simply checked for their breaths.
All three were still alive.
Seeing this, a hint of coldness flashed in Hu Qi’s eyes.
“Whew…”
The expression on his face changed twice.
But in the end, he let out a long sigh.
The coldness in his eyes gradually receded.
Hu Qi was someone who disliked trouble.
In his opinion, the most effective way to solve trouble was to kill these three men, then find the source of the trouble, and completely nip it in the bud.
But doing so would bring endless subsequent trouble.
Being caught for injury was just a fight.
But once a life was taken.
That was two completely different concepts.
With his current strength, he was completely powerless against the law enforcement agencies of this world.
So, reluctantly, Hu Qi could only abandon this tempting idea.
But, letting these three go so easily was simply too lenient for them.
Thinking of this.
He bent down and picked up the extendable baton that Wu Shan had dropped earlier.
…
Ten-odd minutes later.
Hanlin Garden Community.
Hu Qi threw his original black hoodie and mask into the trash can, then calmly rode his repaired bicycle to downstairs, parked it, and took the elevator upstairs.
The key turned the lock, and the door opened.
Hu Qi shook off the rainwater from his umbrella, then walked into the room.
His clothes and pants were already soaked by the rain, clinging tightly to his body, and the wet feeling made him quite uncomfortable.
He took off his outer clothes, revealing a black anti-stab vest underneath.
Looking down, there was a faint indentation on his shoulder.
That was exactly what Wu Shan had caused with the extendable baton just now.
“The reaction speed this guy showed, he must have trained before; my approach at the time was still too risky!”
Hu Qi couldn’t help but feel a lingering fear.
At this moment, he felt extremely fortunate for his previous decision to buy self-defense equipment.
At the same time.
He also realized his own shortcomings.
Ultimately, in his previous life, he was nothing more than an ordinary person.
Although his Comprehensive Fighting Technique had reached Minor Achievement.
His Physique and strength had both increased.
But the body was ultimately flesh and blood.
It could still be injured, and he severely lacked experience in actual combat with people.
That’s why he was hit by that guy; perhaps it was because that person had trained.
But his own sneak attack method also had some problems.
Next time he encountered such a situation, he would have to be more cautious.
Thinking this, Hu Qi walked into the bathroom and washed himself.
As for those three, they probably wouldn’t die, but whether their legs would still be usable, only Heaven knew.
Coupled with being drenched in the rain, even if they were lucky enough to be rescued, they would inevitably suffer from lingering illnesses.
…
In the original dim alley.
The heavy rain poured down, and the muddy accumulated water on the ground became increasingly abundant, surging towards the sewage outlet on one side of the drain.
However, a transparent garbage bag, blown from who knows where, blocked the sewage outlet.
Causing the accumulated water to continuously increase.
Flowing towards Wu Shan, who was lying on the ground with his face turned to the side.
“Cough cough… Ptooey…”
Wu Shan was choked by the cold accumulated water, and couldn’t help but cough twice, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
He managed to open his eyes.
The next second.
The intense pain from his face and legs made him let out a muffled groan.
“Damn, you bastard,… Hiss… Don’t let me find out who you are?”
Wu Shan wiped the rainwater from his face, but his finger accidentally touched the wound, making him gasp again in pain, almost rolling his eyes and fainting again.
However.
Before he could check his wounds.
Thump thump…
A series of muffled footsteps approached from far away.
Wu Shan looked up.
Due to the obstruction of rain and blood on his face, his vision was extremely poor.
He could only barely see a tall, thin figure walking towards him in front.
“You…”
He struggled to speak, wanting to call for help.
However, the next moment.
Within the clouds.
Lightning flashed.
This instant illuminated the scene inside the alley.
Then.
It plunged into darkness again.
Wu Shan maintained his open-mouthed posture.
His face was completely devoid of color, extremely pale.
