Chapter 10 Using a borrowed knife to kill
The balcony faces the evening breeze, and dusk is slowly spreading across the city's outline, with a layer of pale purple afterglow spreading across the distant horizon.
Su Jian stood with his hands behind his back by the railing when his phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket.
He took out his phone, and the name on the screen made his eyes narrow slightly.
"Wang Dafeng".
Anticipating the other party's intentions, he did not plan to hang up.
Perhaps we can take this opportunity to get rid of this person.
He pressed the answer button, his tone tinged with coldness: "What is it?"
Wang Dafeng's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone, without a trace of pleading. One could vaguely hear him swallowing and breathing heavily: "I know you have some connection with that Lu Heng. Could you help me rescue them? There will be a generous reward afterward, guaranteed to satisfy you!"
Su Jian had no desire for money; he only wanted to improve the current situation in the Dragon Kingdom. He coldly replied, "I don't have the time for that. If you want to save people, come and ask for it yourself."
Wang Dafeng's tone suddenly changed, and the crisp sound of a wine glass being crushed came through the phone as he threatened, "The future belongs to those with superpowers. Have you thought about the consequences of refusing my request?"
Su Jian didn't care at all, and snorted lightly: "Hmph, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have money. You'll get your comeuppance sooner or later."
In his view, if this guy dares to come to rescue people, he will definitely not come back alive.
"Fine, very well! You're not giving me any face, are you?" Wang Dafeng roared in exasperation, slamming his fist on the table. "You and that brat named Lu Heng just wait, I'm bringing my superhumans over here right now and razing you to the ground. From now on, I'm the boss in Dragon Country!"
The phone was abruptly cut off as soon as he finished speaking.
Beside her, Su Rourou covered her mouth and laughed: "Dad, he thinks too highly of people with superpowers. He's definitely not going to get away with this."
Su Jian didn't reply, his gaze fixed on the courtyard.
Lu Jianguo and his family of four were busy cooking.
Smoke curled upwards from the chimneys, filling the courtyard with the aroma of food—a scene of peace and tranquility.
An hour later, dozens of luxury cars, kicking up dust, stopped in a row a hundred meters in front of the yard.
The driver of the lead car quickly got out and respectfully opened the door for the back seat.
Wang Dafeng stepped out of the car, a thick cigar dangling from his mouth, exuding an air of importance.
Following closely behind, hundreds of superhumans emerged from the remaining vehicles, dressed in various styles and exuding a menacing aura.
He immediately saw his wife being tortured, his face darkened instantly, and he shouted sharply, "Stop!"
The two generals merely glanced at him, their whips continuing to fall, showing him no mercy whatsoever.
Being ignored in public, Wang Dafeng was furious, his face turning bright red, like a scorched pig's head.
He waved his hand sharply: "Go! Kill them all, leave no one alive!"
"Who dares to be so presumptuous?" Lu Heng, his refined mood disturbed, looked displeased and instantly appeared in the air.
Wang Dafeng grew increasingly arrogant, completely disregarding Lu Heng, and cursed, "Lu Heng, how dare you touch my woman! You're asking for trouble! Do you know who I am?!"
The highly regarded young man with the rooster-like haircut beside him quickly chimed in, flattering him: "Our boss is the chairman of Wang Hai Group. You've messed with the wrong person."
The boy with the rooster-like haircut was smug and oblivious to the fact that he was going further and further down the path of self-destruction.
The two generals on the left and right fixed their cold gazes on the two men.
If it weren't for the fact that every action required Lu Heng's permission, they would have already skinned and dismembered them.
The two men asked Lu Heng for instructions, their voices filled with suppressed murderous intent: "These two bastards are already courting death. Give the order, and we'll kill them all immediately!"
Before they finished speaking, the ghostly fire burst into flames around them, instantly turning the surrounding air cold and distorted, and dimming the light.
Lu Heng raised his hand to signal the two not to interrupt.
The two generals immediately fell silent and continued to whip Madam Yan with meticulous precision.
Lu Heng looked down at Wang Dafeng with a gaze as sharp as ice: "So you're that traitorous businessman who sold out his country for personal gain. You're so stupid that you delivered yourself to my doorstep. You even brought a bunch of kids to their deaths, but I won't show you any mercy."
Having said that, he summoned the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.
The moment the black banner was unfurled, a chilling wind howled, and countless grotesque demons with twisted faces emerged from the banner with their withered hands, struggling desperately as if trying to drag everything in front of them into the abyss and devour them completely.
Terrified by the sight, Wang Dafeng took two steps back, his voice trembling, and shouted behind him, "You...you guys, come on!"
The superhumans looked at each other, hesitated, and fell into indecision.
Upon seeing this, Su Jian's heart tightened.
He knew Lu Heng too well; he knew that this man would never show mercy.
He quickly intervened, saying, "Wait! Let those kids go. Superhumans are an indispensable force. Although they followed the wrong person, they don't deserve to die. Hand them over to me for training. As for that Fatty Wang, you can do whatever you want with him!"
Just then, a helicopter roared down to earth.
Qin Weilong strode down and slammed a document into Wang Dafeng's face, scattering papers all over the floor. His voice was authoritative and icy: "Your collusion with foreign enemies and your persecution of loyal officials have been fully investigated. Your intentions are despicable. We didn't have the energy to deal with you before, but now it's different. Arrest him and execute him publicly the next day."
Two soldiers quickly stepped forward and apprehended Wang Dafeng, who was hurriedly picking up the documents to examine them.
On those pages of paper, the evidence was listed one by one, clearly and without a single flaw.
Wang Dafeng's hands trembled, and his face was ashen.
I finally understand that even if I don't cause trouble today, I won't be able to enjoy my freedom for more than a few days.
He regretted it; he shouldn't have come to save them.
If he were to abandon the mother and child and flee with the money, he could still live a carefree life, whether he escaped to the United States or Japan.
But now, it's too late to say anything.
"Take them away!" Qin Weilong ordered.
The soldiers dragged Wang Dafeng away.
If it weren't for the soldier's exceptional physical condition, an ordinary person probably wouldn't be able to move his obese body.
Wang Dafeng's face was ashen, and he had lost all the arrogance he had shown when he arrived.
Lu Heng retrieved the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and in that instant, the gloomy winds that filled the sky dissipated.
He turned and flew towards the courtyard. As he landed, he said casually, "Since you're already here, come and have a meal together."
Su Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief, his heart finally at ease. These promising young people with superpowers were finally saved.
He and Qin Weilong exchanged a smile, then walked side by side into the courtyard where the smoke from the cooking fires had not yet dissipated.
The aroma of the food grew stronger and stronger.
Lu Jianguo and his wife served the last dish with smiles and invited everyone to sit down.
During the meal, everyone chatted and laughed.
Qin Weilong was in high spirits because the problem of the ancient fetus in Beihai had been resolved. He raised his glass to toast everyone and drank together.
Su Jian looked at his daughter and saw her putting food into Lu Heng's bowl, her smile even harder to suppress than Ak's.
Go for it, Nizi! If this works out, your dad will have to slap himself twice in the face every night before he goes to sleep, because he's afraid he won't be able to fall asleep laughing.
The meal was enjoyed by everyone, filled with laughter and pleasantries.
