Chapter 161: [144-145] Executioner approaches, kill without error (Seeking monthly tickets, recommendations, and subscriptions)_1
“Who are you!”
Xie Zuxin staggered up from the jungle beside the road.
The wounds on his body were healing rapidly.
However, his face was still smeared with the blood that had just spilled.
Yet, the newcomer had no intention of replying and simply flicked a finger.
A golden light stretched into a long line from the fingertip.
The air thundered.
The golden light, like the scorching sun, slashed through in an instant.
Xie Zuxin hurriedly dodged.
After all, he had fought his way up from the bottom to become the leader of an Investigation Team group, and though he had lived a life of ease for the past two years, he was still in his thirties. His skills and reflexes were at least up to par.
Stumbling, he avoided the golden glow.
Only, he had underestimated the stranger’s strength, and his left leg, failing to dodge in time, was directly severed.
Xie Zuxin screamed in agony.
The wound was healing rapidly again.
Standing on one leg, he rushed towards the silver briefcase that had fallen to the ground.
However, he didn’t reach the briefcase.
A whooshing sound suddenly filled the air.
Before Xie Zuxin’s left leg had fully regrown, his shoulder had already been grabbed by the other person.
“Crack!”
It was the sound of bones shattering.
“Ah!”
Xie Zuxin cried out in horror, his face covered in blood and sweat as he shouted angrily, “Do you know who I am—”
“I know,” the stranger’s hoarse voice interrupted, “Aren’t you Second Group Leader Xie Zuxin? It’s you who I’m killing!”
“You”
Xie Zuxin was shocked to his core.
This person dared to kill him near the base.
Where did he get such audacity!
“Damn it!”
He was usually meticulous and cautious. Plagued by his long-standing troubles with Pei Jinye and the Jiang family, he had only decided to go out and let off steam today, relaxing his vigilance slightly and not having his security detail follow him.
And just today… someone actually wanted to kill him!
Xie Zuxin let out a roar of unwillingness.
The next moment.
A palm lightly rested on his face.
“Enter dreams.”
Countless memories flooded in.
In a moment.
A fire ignited on the corpse of Xie Zuxin.
About a minute later.
The fire was extinguished by the rescue team from the Investigation Team’s base seven kilometers away.
“He, he is Second Group Leader Xie Zuxin!”
Someone recognized the body of Xie Zuxin and exclaimed in shock.
Immediately.
The news sent the Investigation Team into a frenzy.
The Second Group Leader had been assassinated just outside the Investigation Team’s base, and no trace of a second person could be found at the scene.
“Full lockdown!”
“Investigate!”
“Thoroughly investigate!”
Inside the VIP room of the First Hospital.
Brother Kui pushed open the door, travel-worn, and caught sight of Pei Jinye wiping Brother Bi’s arm. He was taken aback, “You haven’t left yet?”
“I’ll leave in a moment,” Pei Jinye said, placing the towel into the warm water and washing it before asking, “Have you finished with your tasks?”
“Sort of,” Brother Kui paused, then whispered, “Jinye, about that… are you interested in joining our Group Seven?”
“Going to your group?” Pei Jinye couldn’t help but laugh, “Gu Wutong has also asked me to join his group. Isn’t Group Two fine?”
Brother Kui lowered his voice, “I just got the news that your Second Group Leader Xie Zuxin was assassinated on his way home….”
“What?” Pei Jinye dropped the towel into the basin from shock, splashing water, as if unable to believe it, “The leader was assassinated? Who is it, so daring!”
“That’s just it, it happened just seven kilometers from the base. Xing Tian didn’t even catch it on surveillance; the nearby monitoring equipment was damaged at the same time to varying degrees,” sighed Brother Kui, “When will Da Peng City return to its former peace.”
“There will be such a day,” Pei Jinye reassured Brother Kui in return.
Sighing without dwelling on the matter, Brother Kui said seriously, “It’s likely that Group Two will have to choose a new leader temporarily. Xie Zuxin was quite ruthless in his ways, which is why Group Two isn’t well-received externally. If the new leader isn’t strong enough, you will definitely be targeted for resources in the future.”
“Each group’s resources are different?” Pei Jinye seemed genuinely unaware.
“The basics are the same,” Brother Kui said, scratching his head, not concealing anything, “from time to time the team issues resources and stuff, and obviously, the stronger ones choose first. Before, Xie Zuxin was heartless and ruthless, so people from other groups didn’t want to provoke him, which is why Group Two was able to choose resources first, taking the best items.”
Pei Jinye pondered.
Brother Kui whispered, “Our Group Seven’s leader is no ordinary person either; even Xie Zuxin didn’t dare to confront him. And rest assured, our leader is kind and beautiful on the outside, if you join us, you definitely won’t end up like in Group Two… where most of the roots are bad. I can refer you.”
Pei Jinye let out a sigh and said, “Brother Kui, I appreciate your kindness.”
“You don’t want to join? Or don’t you trust my ability?” Brother Kui frowned.
Pei Jinye said softly, “There’s only so much food, with one more person, doesn’t everyone else get a smaller share? I remember the welfare portions are not given per head, so this isn’t something you can say; if you did, you’d become a sinner of Group Seven.”
Brother Kui was stunned.
He had only thought of getting Pei Jinye out of the misery; he hadn’t considered this aspect.
Looking uncertainly at Pei Jinye.
Pei Jinye smiled, “Honestly, Brother Kui, saying that is enough; it’s appreciated.”
Brother Kui shook his head and laughed, “You rascal.”
Evening.
Pei Jinye returned home.
He gently ran a fruit knife over his finger, and just as a line of blood surfaced, the wound healed in the next second.
Just then.
Father Pei and Mother Pei came home, still discussing something on their way.
Upon entering and seeing the lights on, they looked perplexed, but they relaxed when they noticed it was Pei Jinye.
