A few kilometers into the mountain, the Toyota off-road vehicle turned out its lights, slowed down, and slid slowly toward a small farm yard ahead.
It was an ordinary farm yard, with a few brick and tile houses and a stone fence. The gates were broken and old, with two door-G.o.ds posted on them. No one knew when they were posted up. The two door-G.o.ds were Qin Shubao and Yuchi Jingde, but they had become pale, and the figures had been blurred, only the name able to be identified.
Rat made a phone call in the car, saying, “Mr. w.a.n.g, we're back.”
From the phone came a man's voice, asking, “Are you done yet?”
“Yes. There's no one that the three of us can't handle,” said Rat with some satisfaction. “But we did not just take the body. The two foreigners had somehow never done anything. The three of us killed him, so you'll have to pay us more.”
“You killed him? Are you kidding me?” The man's voice on the phone sounded alert.
“Why do we lie to you? The body is in our car. Come out and check, but you must give us 600,000 more,” said Rat.
“If you do kill the guy, no problem. I can give you another 600,000. But is the body really in the car?” The man's voice on the phone still revealed his disbelief.
“How many times do I have to tell you, Mr. w.a.n.g? d.a.m.n, you just come out and check!” Rat was a little impatient.
“I'll be right out.” Then the phone went silent.
The Toyota off-road vehicle skidded to the gate. Monk stopped the car, opened the door and got out. “Rat, Colored Snake, drag the body out of the car. You guys get to smarten up. Mr. w.a.n.g is very cunning.”
“Got it.” Colored Snake and Rat nodded and got out of the car.
Colored Snake grabbed Ning Tao by the legs and pulled him off the car. Ning Tao's back and head hit the ground hard, but he didn't react.
Footsteps were heard in the farm yard. Then the gate was opened and three men came out. The leader was a man in his forties. He was plump, bald, with gold-rimmed gla.s.ses, looking quite gentle.
He was w.a.n.g Yaoyang.
The two men who followed him were his loyal bodyguards who had followed him for years. When the two bodyguards came out, they put their right hands on the outside of their thighs, and their shoulders were a little taut.
That didn't indicate they had periarthritis of the shoulder. It indicated that they were ready to pull out their guns.
As soon as w.a.n.g Yaoyang came out, his eyes fell straight on Ning Tao who was lying on the ground. He saw Ning Tao's face, which was covered with dust and blood, and a footprint. It was too horrible to look at.
w.a.n.g Yaoyang took two more steps forward, then pulled out his phone and clicked on a photo from the phone alb.u.m. It was Ning Tao, standing bolt upright in a security uniform. It was taken when Ning Tao was a student at Shan City Medical University. G.o.d knew where w.a.n.g Yaoyang got it.
w.a.n.g Yaoyang looked at the face of the body lying on the ground, then at the face in the phone photo, and finally confirmed that it was Ning Tao. “Well done, that's the guy! Well done!”
“Mr. w.a.n.g, we've brought the body. What about the money you promised us?” Rat asked.
w.a.n.g Yaoyang smiled and said, “Why are you in such a hurry? I can't come out with 600,000 in cash, right? Come in with me and I'll get you the money.” Then he coughed and suddenly backed away.
The two bodyguards whipped out their guns.
Bang!
With a pistol-shot, a blood hole appeared in one of the bodyguards' head.
It was Monk who shot and he was holding a homemade pistol. As Rat spoke to w.a.n.g Yaoyang, he stood calmly beside w.a.n.g Yaoyang's bodyguard, who was on w.a.n.g Yaoyang his right, his hands behind him silently pulling out the homemade pistol from his belt. When w.a.n.g Yaoyang coughed inexplicably and suddenly stood back, he sensed the two bodyguards going to kill them. Therefore, before the enemy finished the action of drawing his gun, he struck first.
The moment the pistol went off, Colored Snake and Rat suddenly pounced on the bodyguard on w.a.n.g Yaoyang's left. Colored Snake reached out and grabbed the bodyguard's right wrist, pressing down on the hand that held the gun. Rat, on the other hand, held a saber with a blood groove, and plunged it into the heart of the bodyguard without hesitation.
It all happened so fast that w.a.n.g Yaoyang was caught off guard. Before he could fully realize what was going on, two of his bodyguards, who had followed him for years, fell to the ground, one shot in the head, and the other stabbed in the heart with a saber.
Monk blew the smoke on the gunpoint and said lightly, “Mr. w.a.n.g, it's too much of you to do that. The three of us killed a man for you, but you tried to kill us. Tell me, what shall we do?”
w.a.n.g Yaoyang's legs suddenly went limp and he flopped to the floor, nervously pleading, “I… I didn't. It's the two idiots who took the liberty of doing that. Please believe me. I never intended to kill you. I'm definitely not a man to burn bridges.”
Colored Snake kicked him and scolded, “d.a.m.n, do you think I believe you?”
w.a.n.g Yaoyang was kicked in the chest and rolled around on the ground before stopping.
Monk grabbed w.a.n.g Yaoyang by the hand and dragged him into the yard, saying, “Colored Snake, Rat, drag the bodies in. We'll deal with them together later.”
Colored Snake and Rat dragged the bodies of the two bodyguards into the yard first. Then Colored Snake came out and grabbed Ning Tao's foot and pulled him inside too.
Then they closed the gate.
“Where's the money?” Monk's voice was cold. “Mr. w.a.n.g, my patience is limited. Do you want me to shoot you to refresh your memory?”
“No, no, no, I'll get it for you right away.” w.a.n.g Yaoyang got up from the ground, ready to go to a room.
Colored Snake and Rat both put out a hand and grabbed w.a.n.g Yaoyang by the shoulder. Monk went over and demanded, “Mr. w.a.n.g, I warn you, not to play tricks.”
w.a.n.g Yaoyang said hurriedly, “No, no, no, I would never dare to play tricks. As long as you don't kill me, I'll give you all my money.”
“How much money do you have?” Rat questioned.
w.a.n.g Yaoyang replied, “I have 200,000 yuan and 100,000 dollars. It's more than 600,000 yuan you demand. I give it all to you. Please don't kill me.”
“We're going to be rich. Hha!” Colored Snake laughed, sounding creepy.
Then the three men escorted w.a.n.g Yaoyang into the room, and Monk at the end habitually closed the door. The first reaction of a person who had done evil things was to close the door after he entered a room. The more evil he did, the more sinful he was, and the more likely he was to do it.
As soon as the door was closed, Ning Tao rolled up from the ground. Instead of running after them, he stuck his right index finger into his mouth as fast as he could. This time he didn't bite it, but dipped a bit of blood from his mouth and drew a blood lock on the cement floor beneath his feet.
In the second second after the blood lock was opened, Ning Tao had already returned to the Sky Clinic. As fast as he could, he carried his small medicine chest on his back and took the firewood knife that had been mended with the rotten broken tripod. Just as he was about to return to the farm yard through the convenient door, Qing Zhui's voice came from outside.
“Brother Ning, are you in there? If you don't answer, I'll go home.” Then she added, “The man who plays blade brought back a man, threw him at my door and left without telling me who he was. Don't blame me if I eat that man.”
The man who played blade was clearly Yin Molan.
Yin Molan brought back Billy but didn't see Ning Tao, and he didn't want to stay with Qing Zhui, so his chose the best way to deal with it—leaving Billy there, even without an explanation. That was why Qing Zhui was outside the door.
This was something Ning Tao a.n.a.lyzed from Qing Zhui's words. He reacted swiftly. He strode up and opened the door.
In the moonlight, Qing Zhui wore a tight green T-s.h.i.+rt with short sleeves, which made her b.r.e.a.s.t.s ample, and a green miniskirt, which was so short that it seemed that that her underwear would be exposed when she made a long stride.
The suit was bought for free from Zou Yulin's store and was a luxury item worth a lot of money.
Ning Tao's eyes glazed over for only a second before he got used to it. “Come on in, and go with me,” he said at once.
“Where are we going?” asked Qing Zhui, a little dazed.
Ning Tao answered anxiously, “We've got business. Hurry up, the timing is off!”
Then Qing Zhui came to her senses and jumped to Ning Tao, with her right leg in front and her left leg behind, with a height of more than two meters. The leap was enough to go down in the Guinness World Records, but the problem was that she was wearing a miniskirt.
Ning Tao was in a serious and anxious state, but when she jumped, he suddenly saw two long straight white legs and a pair of briefs, which were very tight…
It was a leap of faith.
Ning Tao's eyes felt poisoned. To him, it was more poisonous than the Tang Sect's needles. He could be all right when he was stuck by 100 poison needles of the Tang Sect, but after witnessing the “leap of faith”, he felt awful.
Fortunately, it was just a flash, and Qing Zhui immediately landed beside Ning Tao.
The good-evil tripod opened its eyes and put on an angry look.
Qing Zhui bowed to it and said, “I didn't come in on purpose, so stop glaring at me. I'll leave at once.”
Only then did Ning Tao come to his senses. With one hand holding Qing Zhui's wrist, he rushed to the stone wall, and with the other hand holding the key of the clinic, he stabbed the key into the latest blood lock. For a man, it was a natural skill.
Two seconds later, Ning Tao and Qing Zhui showed up in the farm yard.
The bodies of the two bodyguards were still bleeding, and the thick smell of blood hung over the s.p.a.ce, forming a horrible scene under the pale moonlight.
Qing Zhui gasped, “Brother Ning…”
Ning Tao suddenly put his hand over her mouth.
