BXBX NOVEL Chapter 221: All Removed
Yu Fei turned on his flashlight, revealing three shiny silver needles stuck in Long Wu’s scalp.
He looked surprised, “President Lu, it seems like these silver needles are moving. Fascinating.”
Lu Lingche also squatted down and contemplated after observing for a while, “It seems like the needles are moving outward.”
Long Wu sobbed uncontrollably, “She said the needles would fall out on their own… it’s true! Thank goodness. This pain will end!”
Without warning, Lu Lingche pulled out one of the needles.
Long Wu’s crying ceased abruptly. The intense pain almost made him faint on the spot. He was in too much agony to even make a noise.
Then, Lu Lingche pulled out the two remaining needles.
Curious about the potency of Qiao Yin’s silver needles and wanting to observe Long Wu’s reaction, he was shocked to see Long Wu foaming at the mouth and passing out.
The bodyguard couldn’t help but state, “President Lu, you didn’t just accidentally kill him by pulling out the needles, did you? I asked an acupuncture expert as you instructed, and she warned that removing needles from certain points could lead to serious consequences.”
Lu Lingche looked at him coldly, “Why didn’t you say so earlier? I’ve already removed them.”
The bodyguard was helpless. His boss acted too quickly; he didn’t even have a chance to advise him.
Checking Long Wu’s breathing and feeling his pulse, he said, “His heart rate is very fast. It seems like he won’t die.”
“Wake him up. I have questions.”
The bodyguard sighed inwardly. If President Lu had questions, why didn’t he just ask straight away? Pulling out the man’s acupuncture needles and causing him to faint before remembering to ask questions.
Poor Long Wu for running across those two.
There are only a few ways to wake someone, and none of them are gentle.
After a series of punches and kicks from the bodyguard, Long Wu came to.
As soon as he regained consciousness, he burst into tears, “Please spare my life! I realise my mistake and I won’t hurt anyone else! Please don’t kill me!”
The bodyguard gave him a kick, “Shut up! Answer whatever my boss asks. Lie, and we’ll send you straight to hell!”
“I won’t lie! I promise I won’t!”
“Who hired you to kill? Dr. Shen Yujun’s reputation as a life-saving physician is known to all. Who has a grudge against her?”
“I don’t know! Qiao Yin asked me this already. I really don’t know who hired me. I only did what I was paid to do. If you’re looking for the person who hired me, please go ask the middleman!”
“Who’s this middleman?”
“I don’t know his real identity. I only know his alias, King of Hell. He’s the one who handles shady business, including hiring me. I know nothing else.”
King of Hell.
Lu Lingche frowned slightly, familiar with the name.
However, the problem was that King of Hell was aware that his actions were shady and avoided attracting attention. As such, he resided overseas and only occasionally returned to China.
“Has King of Hell been back to China recently?”
Long Wu was taken aback, “King of Hell is overseas?”
Lu Lingche coldly glanced at him.
Idiot! Didn’t even know as much as he did and dared to attack someone.
“What were the instructions from the contractor?”
“Well… the best outcome would be to turn the target into a vegetative state. Not quite dead, not quite alive.”
With an icy demeanor, Lu Lingche deduced that this unusual demand suggested a deep hatred, but the contractor didn’t seem to want a murder charge and hence didn’t request a direct execution.
He looked at the three silver needles in his hand and asked Long Wu, “Did you notice any abnormalities in your body after the needles were removed?”
Long Wu grimaced, “My head still hurts as if the needles were not removed. Why is this?”
“You’re asking me?”
Lu Lingche looked at him as if he were an idiot, “What did she say when she punctured your scalp?”
Upon mentioning Qiao Yin, fear flashed across Long Wu’s eyes, “She… she said, whenever it’s a rainy day in the future, my head will ache like it is doing now. The pain will be so severe that I’d want to decapitate myself. She also said that I might live longer if I move to a desert. Considering how heavily it’s raining now, am L… am I about to die?”
