34: Chapter 34 Liu Han's Crimson Game
Xiao Heizi was just about to leave when he suddenly said, "By the way, Liu Han went to the South District to collect some reagents a while ago and got some news."
Wang Yi frowned and said, "Xiao Heizi, next time you have something to say, can't you just say it all at once?"
Xiao Heizi hugged his straight blade tighter and said awkwardly, "I only just remembered, didn't I?"
Wang Yi said helplessly, "If I reported news to Emperor Qin like that, you might as well collect my corpse early."
Xiao Heizi grinned but didn't dare to reply.
"Spit it out already."
Xiao Heizi quickly said, "Wu Yishui is in the Investigation Bureau's South District prison!"
Wang Yi's expression changed drastically.
"Xiao Heizi, I really don't know what to say to you!"
"Can't you distinguish between what's important and what's urgent? Finding Wu Yishui was an order personally issued by Emperor Qin."
Xiao Heizi's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "I'll head to the South District immediately."
After saying this, he prepared to leave.
Wang Yi called out to stop Xiao Heizi, "Tell Liu Han to improve his strength as soon as possible and rescue Wu Yishui if there's a chance."
"As for you, go find the Investigation Bureau's temporary headquarters immediately and keep a close watch on Xie Xiyun. Remember, this is Emperor Qin's order."
Xiao Heizi placed his right hand over his left chest and said respectfully, "I am willing to offer my heart to Emperor Qin."
With that, Xiao Heizi vanished in the blink of an eye.
A blue light flashed in Wang Yi's eyes.
Qin Xiaogan, who had just arrived at Feng Tao's home, immediately received a message from Wang Yi.
Qin Xiaogan furrowed his brows.
"I'd like to see who is setting up this scheme."
"Gan Xiaoqin, you stay at my place to recover from your injuries first. I'm going out to take care of some business."
After saying this, Feng Tao hurried out the door.
Qin Xiaogan looked around at the room's decor.
Simple and elegant.
But no matter how big it was, it wasn't as big as Feng Tao's heart.
"She leaves someone like me, without hands or feet, alone at home without a worry."
Qin Xiaogan used his mental power to lift a kitchen knife.
"Swish."
With a sound of something cutting through the air, the knife struck the center of Qin Xiaogan's forehead.
Not long after.
Qin Xiaogan stood up, completely unharmed.
"What a hassle."
With that, Qin Xiaogan's figure vanished like a bubble.
...
South District, Investigation Bureau prison.
A woman covered in scars was locked in the deepest part of the prison.
She was like a rose about to wither, possessing a broken yet pitiable beauty.
Huo Wushuang stood in front of the woman and said earnestly, "Yishui, what on earth are you trying to do!"
"I went to great lengths to ask my father to help reduce your sentence, and you immediately escaped from prison in the Imperial Capital."
Wu Yishui's expression was indifferent. "I don't need you to care."
Huo Wushuang said helplessly, "I know you want revenge, but… the waters here are too deep; you won't be able to handle it."
Wu Yishui's beautiful eyes were tightly shut, and she remained silent.
Outside the cell, a middle-aged man hurried to Huo Wushuang's side.
"Young Master Huo, everything is ready."
Huo Wushuang nodded.
"You were sent by the Qin Family to my home to study under my father since you were young; we could be considered childhood sweethearts."
"Don't make things difficult for me. This time, when I send you back to the Imperial Capital, you must behave yourself."
"Otherwise…"
Wu Yishui said calmly, "Otherwise what? Kill me?"
Huo Wushuang's tone faltered. "Yishui, the Qin Family is already gone. How much longer are you going to keep causing trouble?"
Wu Yishui opened her eyes and cast a cold glance at Huo Wushuang.
Huo Wushuang sighed and said to his subordinate, "Take her back to the Imperial Capital."
"Yes!"
South District.
Iron Plate Mutton Soup Restaurant.
A pale-faced young man strode into the shop.
"Hey! Young man, what would you like to eat?"
A teenager's eyes lit up, and he hurried over to Liu Han.
Liu Han replied, "First, bring me a glass of warm water."
"Coming right up!"
Just as Liu Han sat on the chair, a blood mist, invisible to the naked eye, rapidly spread out.
The teenager had just placed the glass on the table when he asked in confusion, "Why do I feel like it's a bit hard to breathe?"
"By the way, young man, where are you from? Your accent doesn't sound like it's from the South District."
"You aren't from the West District, are you?"
Liu Han smiled at him.
The teenager immediately clapped his hands. "I actually guessed right!"
"You're lucky! To be able to escape."
"Life in the West District is not easy right now. It was already a slum, but now it has become a gathering place for bad people."
Liu Han raised an eyebrow. "How come I heard that the Four Kings Pavilion treats the local civilians quite well?"
"Pah! That must be their own propaganda."
"Ever since the Four Kings Pavilion took over, the West District has been in chaos!"
Speaking of which.
The teenager lowered his voice. "I also heard that they even blew up the Investigation Bureau."
"They're really a bunch of mad dogs!"
Liu Han asked in surprise, "Mad dogs?"
The teenager said as if it were obvious, "Yeah, aren't the Four Kings Pavilion mad dogs?"
"The leader of this mad dog organization is the maddest dog among mad dogs, the beast among beasts!"
"Oh, hehe haha."
Liu Han couldn't help but laugh out loud. "The beast among beasts?"
"Do you have a huge grudge against him?"
Liu Han had just asked this.
A slender woman walked in from outside.
The teenager said without hesitation, "Yeah, my sister was a member of the Investigation Bureau's Fourth Team."
"It was because of those mad dogs from the Four Kings Pavilion that my sister almost lost her life."
Liu Han slowly picked up the glass and took a shallow sip.
The teenager suddenly pointed to the door and said, "Look, my sister is here. If you don't believe me, you can ask her."
"She saw with her own eyes that leader of the Four Kings Pavilion going on a killing spree."
"I hope he never has a son; if he does, he'll definitely be born without an anus."
Hearing this, Liu Han turned his head to look behind him.
He saw a woman with a pretty face wearing a white long dress.
The woman looked nervous when she saw Liu Han.
She quickly said, "Xiao Gu, stop talking!"
Then, the woman said nervously, "Let me serve him."
The teenager suddenly said, "Sigh! I'll get you a bowl of mutton soup."
"Try the mutton rice noodle soup."
Liu Han smiled and said, "Alright, don't put any chives in it."
Afterwards, the teenager walked into the kitchen.
Liu Han asked the woman, "What is your surname?"
The woman quickly replied, "I… my surname is Yang, and my given name is Tian."
Liu Han asked curiously, "Ms. Yang, will Emperor Qin really have no anus if he has a son?"
"We were only doing it for Yang City." The woman's eyes gradually welled up with tears, and she said aggrievedly, "Why did you have to kill us?"
Liu Han pursed his lips. "Because you are weak."
The woman's breath hitched, and her whole body trembled.
"Let's play a game."
"If you lose, I'll leave immediately."
"If you win, the two of you will become my blood slaves."
The woman was silent for a long moment. "Wha… what game?"
Liu Han curled his lips.
He looked toward the kitchen and said softly, "Let's bet on whether or not your brother put chives in that bowl of soup."
Soon, the teenager walked out, smiling as he carried a bowl of mutton rice noodles.
Suddenly, the atmosphere at the scene became tense.
Yang Tian stared fixedly at the bowl in the teenager's hands.
The teenager placed the mutton rice noodles in front of Liu Han.
"Young man, drink it while it's hot."
Yang Tian quickly looked into the bowl.
The mutton rice noodle soup was milky white and warm, resembling a flawless piece of jade.
Tiny specks of oil floated on the surface of the soup, emitting an alluring aroma.
Yang Tian discovered there were no chives, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
A smile hung on Liu Han's face. "I don't eat mutton."
