"It's you?!"
Huang Hao's face suddenly changed when he saw the boy's appearance. He asked in shock and anger: "How did you get in?"
"Don't you know the people of Zhanxu?"
Xu Shen was surprised.
Of course Huang Hao understood, and this question was a completely subconscious reaction. His door was installed with an anti-theft lock, but this could only prevent thieves, not these monsters.
"What are you doing here?" Huang Hao's face looked grim. It was obvious that Xu Shen had no good intentions here.
"Deal with you."
Xu Shen said.
"What?" Huang Hao was stunned.
Xu Shen's words were too blunt, leaving him stunned for a moment.
After seeing Xu Shen's calm expression, he finally reacted, his heart twitched violently, and he sobered up a lot. He said angrily: "You want to kill me? Do you know who I am? My brother-in-law is the director of Taikang Hospital. I also know Section Chief Chen in your bureau. I also know..."
"Do you know the Grim Reaper?"
Xu Shen interrupted him.
Huang Hao was stunned.
"If you know him, you can ask him not to accept you." Xu Shen said.
Huang Hao was trembling all over. At this moment he finally understood that the young man in front of him was serious.
Although they usually understood that these Zhanxu personnel had the power to kill them, they knew that as long as the other party did not want to die, they would not do such an impulsive thing.
After all, bodyguards can also kill people, but who would be afraid of their own bodyguards?
But when there are only two of you, and the bodyguard is holding a gun and tells you, I'm going to kill you.
Who can not panic?
"If you kill me, you will also be punished!" Huang Hao's face was grim, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Do you want to die with me? I haven't offended you!"
Xu Shen smiled, but did not expose the other party's words. He just said softly: "You overestimate yourself. No one will know that I killed you. You just died in an accident, a myocardial infarction caused by alcoholism and overeating."
"you!"
Huang Hao was so frightened that he was sweating profusely and his face turned pale. He suddenly changed his expression and said, "Brother Xu, no, Brother Xu, Master Xu! Let me go, I beg you, I will agree . Is this because of the protection fee? I promise, I will definitely pay it, and double it! Oh no, triple it!"
"And I was also responsible for what happened to Lao Chen. I'm sorry. You can hit me or scold me, but please don't kill me. I will never cause you any trouble again!"
As he said this, he slid down from the sofa and knelt down, kowtowed to Xu Shen repeatedly.
He did not try to shout or call out.
Having dealt with Zhanxu personnel for many years, he knew these guys' skills, and doing this would only accelerate his own death.
Beg, apologize, be sincere.
Huang Hao looked humbled.
Xu Shen watched quietly with a smile on his face. If it were in the past, he would have been soft-hearted, but not now.
After all, he gave the other party two chances.
Just like that night, the thief was about to break in and steal something. He had already tried to stop him three times, but the thief still planned to take out a knife and attack him.
"How much do you think your life is worth?" Xu Shen asked.
Huang Hao was startled, and immediately understood Xu Shen's idea. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "One million, no, two million! This is almost all my savings!"
"It seems you can't afford it." Xu Shen shook his head.
Huang Hao begged for mercy: "Master Xu, although you see that I earn a lot on weekdays, I also spend a lot. Playing with women, entertaining guests, and maintaining my friendships also cost a lot of money. For example, Lao Chen in your bureau, I spend millions on him every year!"
Xu Shen raised his eyebrows, "Why don't you just pay this little money as protection fee?"
Huang Hao smiled bitterly and said, "These are two different things..."
Xu Shen nodded slightly, without asking any further questions, but just held up his hand.
Huang Hao thought Xu Shen wanted to support him, which meant that he agreed to his conditions, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But the next moment, there was a cracking sound from his raised hand, and his middle finger bent backwards.
He couldn't help but scream.
"How much is it worth now?" Xu Shen asked softly.
Huang Hao's forehead was covered with sweat and his face was pale as he looked at the young man in front of him. When they first met, the latter was like a little lamb and could be easily controlled, but now, in just a short period of time, he has become like a devil.
"Three, three million!" Huang Hao trembled and said, "This is really all I have."
With a click.
The index finger is also bent backwards.
"What now?"
"Four, four million, Mr. Xu, this is really all I have, woooo!" Huang Hao begged with tears and snot streaming down his face in pain.
Click.
The ring finger is also bent backwards.
"Is that all?" Xu Shen asked softly.
"No, it's really gone." Huang Hao begged for mercy repeatedly.
Click.
The little finger is also bent.
The four fingers appear to be clenched into a fist toward the back of the hand.
“Ah…” Huang Hao screamed and begged for mercy: “Five, five hundred, it’s really gone, even if you kill me, I still have nothing left!”
"Another hand."
Xu Shen smiled and held his other hand.
There was a look of horror in Huang Hao's eyes. He looked at Xu Shen as if he had seen a ghost, with a face full of fear.
Click. Click.
The screams continued, and when the pitch became too high, Xu Shen slapped them back, and they could only let out low growls of pain.
The final price was 6.2 million.
"The money is in the passbook, deposited in the Mo Bank in the inner city. It's a big bank." Huang Hao's arms were shaking constantly, his fingers had turned over like an octopus, his face was pale, and his back was drenched in cold sweat from the pain.
"Mo family..."
Xu Shen's eyes moved slightly, and he thought of Mo Xiaoxiao. The latter had threatened the wealthy couple and revealed her background. She seemed to be very important. Could it be that the two were related?
Under Xu Shen's threat, Huang Hao took the passbook out of the safe in the room and handed it to Xu Shen.
"I have to go in person to collect the money, and my fingerprint is needed for verification." Huang Hao said tremblingly, fearing that Xu Shen would kill him to silence him.
"no problem."
Xu Shen nodded, and Huang Hao immediately felt his two painful hands suddenly relieved, the pain disappeared, and instead there was a slight cool feeling.
Soon, the feeling becomes stronger and becomes cold. When it is extremely cold, it feels like burning. When the burning is more intense, it brings severe pain.
Huang Hao looked down and saw that both of his hands were gone, broken at the wrists.
"You..." Huang Hao was stunned.
"Sorry, I'll take the money, but I also want your life." Xu Shen said softly.
Huang Hao's eyes widened in horror and he said, "You, you don't keep your word. If you kill me and leave clues, you will also be arrested!"
"No, I avoided the surveillance when I came. I originally wanted you to die of myocardial infarction, but now... it's no problem if you died from a home robbery. Even if it is really found out that I did it, I can also say that it was you who offended me and attacked me, and I just accidentally killed you in self-defense." Xu Shen smiled.
Huang Hao's eyes widened when he heard this. Who would believe such a ridiculous reason?
Assault? Killed in your own home, or I assaulted you?!
His throat felt as if it was parched, and he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
…
…
Considering the risk of withdrawing money, Xu Shen came to the suburbs and found a fog dweller. He said that he would help him open his eyes and let him see the real world, but he had to help him do something.
Wu Min knew he was lucky and agreed without hesitation.
Xu Shen spent 100,000 yuan to buy the eye-opening Xuyuan Liquid on the black market through Da Lili, and helped the fog dweller open his eyes. Then he gave him a pair of gloves and asked him to go to a designated Mo's Bank in the city to withdraw money.
Wumin looked at the gloves and felt that they were made of human skin, but he didn't dare to ask more questions.
When they first opened their eyes, the Fog People behaved cautiously in everything.
Xu Shen sent him to the bank door and waited quietly.
Not long after, Wu Min came out with a confused look on his face and told Xu Shen that if he wanted to withdraw money over one million, he had to make an appointment one week in advance.
Xu Shen asked him to make an appointment that day and pick it up at the same time next week.
Then he took Wu Min back, gave him some money, and told him not to go to work but to stay in a small hotel for a week and then come back to withdraw the money.
The Fog Citizen also realized that this behavior was a bit strange and like a crime, especially since Xu Shen was always wearing a mask and did not reveal his true face, he was more certain of this idea.
But compared with the benefits he would get, he still chose to obey.
After all, this is an opportunity to change your life.
Seven days later, under Xu Shen's guidance, Wu Min successfully withdrew the money.
Carrying the cash box into the taxi.
Xu Shen took it, opened it and took a look. The box was filled to the brim.
Tell the driver to come to the suburbs.
Xu Shen put Wu Min down, took out 100,000 yuan from the box and handed it to him as a reward for his hard work.
Xu Shen was not stingy about this.
He then told the driver to return to the city.
However, the vehicle slowly moved to a more remote area in the suburbs.
Xu Shen narrowed his eyes.
When the car stopped at an empty spot, Xu Shen said calmly, "This doesn't seem to be the city."
"Boy, hand over your money!" The driver did not hide his expression at all. He turned around and looked at Xu Shen viciously. He actually took out a machete from the storage box in the car. Although the material was ordinary, it was obviously enough to deal with ordinary people.
Xu Shen raised his eyebrows. He carried a knife with him, so it seemed that he was a habitual offender.
"Luckily you met me." Xu Shen had no choice but to get off the car.
"Leave the money," the driver said angrily.
"Have you harmed other people too?" Xu Shen asked.
The driver sneered, "Kid, didn't your parents tell you not to show off your wealth in public?"
"You raped me?" Xu Shen touched his chin and said, "It seems that I am destined to uphold justice. Justice may be delayed but it will come. Do you understand?"
"What bullshit are you talking about? Give me the money!" the driver said angrily.
Xu Shen walked over with a smile.
The driver held out his hand.
The two passed each other.
The driver stabbed his own neck with the machete in his hand.
Xu Shen's figure walked away leisurely as if he was strolling, leaving behind only the empty vehicle and the body lying at the rear of the vehicle.
…
…
A few days later.
A patrol vehicle gathered outside a residential area.
We received a report that someone seemed to have an accident here.
The guards from the inspection office immediately broke open the security door and entered the house. The first thing they saw was dirt and mess, with barbecue piled on the table and wine bottles on the floor.
But near the sofa, there were brown dried bloodstains on the ground.
In addition, a strong stench of decay wafted out from the bedroom.
The bedroom door was closed.
The guards in the inspection hall looked at each other and carefully turned the doorknob of the bedroom. In an instant, a pungent stench of decay rushed out from inside, crawled into their nasal cavity, rubbed repeatedly on the mucous membrane, and let the pungent smell permeate their lungs and chest cavities, as if they were soaked in rotten water.
The two patrol hall guards immediately vomited.
When they turned on the light in the bedroom, they saw a small bulge on the bed.
I lifted the quilt and found several black plastic bags inside, the kind of household garbage bags.
They didn't dare to open it, but called for more reinforcements.
When more guards from the inspection hall gathered, they opened the garbage bag and saw a rotten corpse inside that had been chopped into several pieces.
Next to it is a kitchen knife.
Soon, professionals from various departments of the Inspection Office arrived.
After checking, cleaning and testing the scene, it was discovered that the murder weapon was a kitchen knife.
This man was hacked to death with a kitchen knife and chopped into pieces.
"How much hatred is this?! It must be a vendetta!"
A guard from the inspection hall said, holding his nose.
"It may not be hatred. It may just be for convenience or to cover up something." said the experienced old guard.
Soon, when the body was pieced together, it was discovered that both hands were missing.
Someone immediately realized something and asked someone to open the safe at home. It turned out that the safe was not closed and there were signs of rummaging inside.
"The body had been dead for at least 10 days. If his friend hadn't come to look for him and smelled the stench, he probably wouldn't have known about it until now."
"I used a plastic bag to lock in the smell, and then wrapped it in a quilt. I also sealed the bedroom door and the main door, which covered up the smell. It took so long for it to slowly seep out."
A guard at the inspection hall said regretfully: "The murderer should have escaped long ago, but the passbook is missing. He should have gone to withdraw money. We can check at major banks and find out."
"It feels like this is going to be another unsolved murder case." An old guard shook his head. Although the investigation had not yet begun, he had already sensed from his experience that this case would most likely end in vain.
…
…
"Master Xu, this is the breakfast I bought for you."
Morning.
Zhang Liyao came to Xu Shen's room carrying several bags of various breakfasts and called him softly.
It has been like this these past few days, extremely diligent.
Xu Shen opened the door. He was no longer surprised by her enthusiasm. He took the breakfast from her and asked her to help him get the newspaper from the mailbox downstairs.
Zhang Liyao didn't seem to complain at all and obeyed orders obediently.
After the newspaper was brought up, Xu Shen sat in the room and read while eating.
Zhang Liyao was sitting aside, and Xu Shen was casually flipping through the newspaper. When he saw a piece of news published on it, he immediately knew that Huang Hao's body had been found.
But it has been 12 days now.
Shaking his head, Xu Shen was not worried at all that he would be found.
This incident also made him feel a little emotional.
Killing people actually earns more than beheading the enemies, and it is dozens of times more!
But the whole process is obviously much easier and less dangerous.
Accidents may happen at any time when Zhan Xu is in charge. Once the intelligence is wrong, it will cause more trouble to Xu!
In comparison, Sister Su’s way of making money is too gentle… Xu Shen thought of Su Shuang, certain images emerged in his mind, and he sighed secretly.
"Have you read this news?" Xu Shen asked Zhang Liyao beside him.
"Ah? I've eaten." Zhang Liyao replied quickly.
"?"
"Uh, no, I haven't had time to read it yet." Zhang Liyao blushed and looked shy, then moved closer to Xu Shen and looked at the newspaper.
The scent of perfume wafted over.
Zhang Liyao's eyes were as charming as silk, and they lightly touched Xu Shen's gaze, then quickly retracted.
But when she saw the news in the newspaper, she was stunned and didn't even bother to act.
"Huang Hao is dead?"
Zhang Liyao was a little shocked. That guy would actually die?
She read the description on the news... The murderer was extremely cruel... The body was cut into pieces... He broke into the house and robbed the owner...
She couldn't help but think of the cruel scene, and her face looked a little ugly.
This is different from watching other people’s news. When the protagonist of the event is someone familiar around you, you will have deeper and more complex feelings.
"He was actually robbed..." Zhang Liyao felt it was absurd and funny, and also a bit ironic. He was so arrogant and domineering in daily life, but in the end he died at the hands of a thief. It was ridiculous.
"You must cherish your life." Xu Shen said, "It is not easy to live, so don't make mistakes easily, don't rashly provoke others, and you must abide by your duties."
Zhang Liyao put away her thoughts and nodded in agreement: "That's right, but it's better for him to die. It was him who took the lead in withdrawing the protection fee, causing us to lose a lot of money."
Xu Shen glanced at her and said, "You have a good relationship with him, right?"
"Generally, I've only seen him a few times." Zhang Liyao's heart skipped a beat and she said quickly.
"You've pledged yourself to me after just a few meetings?" Xu Shen's eyes were cold.
Zhang Liyao was stunned and asked in astonishment: "Xu, Master Xu, what did you say?"
"Unfortunately, my sense of smell is quite acute, so I can smell whose scent is on you."
Xu Shen said calmly: "Last time, Section Chief Chen from the bureau came to me and said that the tax bureau had evidence that I embezzled taxes..."
Zhang Liyao's pupils shrank, and she quickly said, "This matter has nothing to do with me. Really, Master Xu, I am loyal to you..."
"No one can forge evidence except you." Xu Shen said indifferently: "I know all your tricks and thoughts. From today on, you must find a way to repay your debt. From now on, you must pay me all the protection fees I collect, including your share of the salary."
Zhang Liyao stared at him blankly, and suddenly felt that this young man was a little strange.
"Master Xu, I really didn't..." After coming to her senses, Zhang Liyao pleaded, "I really didn't betray you."
Xu Shen looked at her quietly.
Zhang Liyao gradually couldn't continue speaking, and the pleading on her face became a little forced.
"By the way, I heard you say last time that your parents like to go to Jiulong for tea? Please treat them to a couple of drinks for me when you have time. After all, they are elderly and I don’t know how many more years they can drink tea." Xu Shen said.
Zhang Liyao's face changed. She remembered that Xu Shen had chatted with her once. They had a very enjoyable conversation and talked about all aspects, including parents and family.
Unexpectedly, the other party had already figured out how to deal with her since then.
"Master Xu, you can't do this. I was forced. It wasn't my intention. I..." Zhang Liyao pleaded immediately.
Xu Shen raised his hand to interrupt her and said, "I don't need to hear the reasons and explanations. You just need to understand what I say and do as I say. Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. I just want money. As long as you don't harm my interests, I'm a very easy person to get along with."
He glanced at her and said, "You should know that the money you made by moving your hands in the middle was earned by me risking my life to kill the ruins. Do you think you deserve it?"
Zhang Liyao was speechless and fell completely silent.
"You are just a member of a small civilian department, but you are wearing expensive clothes. You have gone too far." Xu Shen said indifferently: "I have said everything I need to say. You can leave now."
Hearing the order to leave, Zhang Liyao had no choice but to stand up.
"By the way, don't forget to deliver three meals a day."
Before she left, Xu Shen's words came out.
Zhang Liyao bit her lip and walked down the stairs slowly, holding onto the wall.
"This money is enough for me to apply for retirement."
Xu Shen collected his thoughts and thought about the more than 6 million he had deposited in different banks. He only needed 5 million to buy a place when he retired.
But obviously, if he used the money to buy retirement at this time, the bureau would definitely not agree.
After all, they were still waiting for him to go to Xudong to do some work.
"Wait until everything is done, then apply again. Then you have to explain where the five million came from, and then find another reason..."
…
…
time flies.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
There were no missions in between. After all, the attendance rate of the first echelon was not high. They would usually take action only in C-level incidents, on average once every two or three months.
Only occasionally do emergencies occur.
Apart from shaking money four times in the bureau this month, Xu Shen basically did not run around. The Light Chasing Club also reduced Xu Shen's tasks and did not come to see him for the time being.
And now Xu Shen is a candidate for leader and has the right to choose and refuse.
The previously purchased purifier had long been used up, and Xu Shen continued to purchase hundreds of tubes.
The rewards he received from his own hunting missions alone were not enough, but fortunately the money he got from Huang Hao came in handy.
Xu Shen now maintains a consumption of three tubes per day.
Absorption and purification keep the body saturated and balanced at all times.
Xu Shen has absorbed more than 280 bottles in total, which means that at least 180 bottles of energy have evaporated from his body. The refined energy has become pure and extremely easy to control.
The Xu Shen's first conceived field of Xu Silk finally showed promise as he continued to experiment.
The purified spiritual force is easier to condense into silk, and even if it is condensed into tiny silk, it can still be controlled.
Xu Shen extended the silk thread out of his body, barely maintaining it 30 centimeters outside the body. He could still hold it, but it became weak any further.
The precise control of Xu Si gave Team Xu Shen more confidence in breaking through the second form.
He didn't hesitate any longer; he had to face the challenge of life and death.
"It's time to try to break through."
Xu Shen sat in his room as usual. He ate the breakfast brought by Zhang Liyao and took a short rest. Then he began to manipulate the Xu silk to slowly penetrate into his heart.
With the influx of spiritual power, his body entered a critical state.
He was already familiar with this feeling, but he could no longer hear those chaotic and confusing voices in his mind.
Even when entering a critical state, one can maintain a clear mind and inner peace.
Xu Shen had noticed this a long time ago. He maintained a critical state every time he trained. Later, the sound became less and less, and more and more distant, as if it was blocked by something.
Although he didn't know whether it was good or bad, Xu Shen felt that it should be a good thing based on his own feelings.
This time, the Xu Shen's control of the Xu silk did not converge, but continued to penetrate. Soon, the sound of the heart beating could be heard, and Xu Shen felt a slight tearing and a swelling.
"Child, are you finally here?"
A gentle voice sounded.
