75: Chapter 75: Hopeless

The green light stopped.

The yellow light turned on.

He Zhiqiang's eight-cylinder S600 roared as it surged forward.

The next second.

"Boom—"

A cement mixer truck shot out sideways, catching the very last second of the yellow light.

The two vehicles collided solidly.

In front of the cement truck filled with concrete, the S600 seemed like a tiny toy. It flipped sideways, flew over ten meters away, and slammed heavily onto the median strip, chassis facing up.

Passersby and vehicles were stunned.

The cement mixer also braked for over twenty meters before coming to a stop.

When passersby and drivers realized what happened and ran to the S600, they couldn't bear to look.

The two people inside the car were no longer recognizable.

A driver shook his head: "There's no saving them."

"They weren't wearing seatbelts, yet they dared to drive so fast."

"What a pity, such a nice car."

"The woman in the passenger seat is unlucky too..."

"She even got impaled in the chest by the guardrail; her luck is terrible."

"I had a feeling something would happen when I saw him revving the engine earlier, and sure enough."

"Why does it look a bit familiar?"

"Shh—look at the license plate, does it look familiar?"

"Hahaha, so it's his family's. Why be afraid? A bunch of trash that's finished, pfft!"

"Should we save them?"

"Save them my ass. I'd be doing him a favor if I didn't set him on fire, and you want to save him? If it weren't for that bastard surnamed He forcibly seizing my family's business, I wouldn't be driving a taxi."

"So it's the guy surnamed He. Then this must be Boss He and his wife, right? Heh, they totally deserve it!"

"Good deeds are rewarded, and evil deeds are punished. It's not that there's no retribution, it's just that the time hasn't arrived yet. Now that the time has come, it's just a matter of when that old dog He Dingkun kicks the bucket."

"..."

By the time traffic police and ambulances arrived at the scene, He Zhiqiang was already stone cold.

The ambulance crew took one look and returned the way they came; there was absolutely no need for resuscitation.

Shi Xiaoya had left Jiguang Zhai.

Passing by here, she hadn't thought much of it, but after seeing the license plate, a chill ran down her spine.

How long had it been?

It was less than a kilometer from Jiguang Zhai to here, and they were already gone?

Is this Feng Shui?

Even legendary sorcery wouldn't be this powerful, right?

Even the Nail-Head Seven-Arrow Book of Daoist Lu Ya requires setting up an altar, praying, and shooting a straw effigy to kill someone from a distance.

What about Han Jingyang?

He didn't make a single move the whole time, only taking out two dharma instruments.

Yet, she didn't see him cast any spells at all.

It couldn't just be bad luck, could it?

This luck is too terrible.

When things happen abnormally, there must be a demon at work.

However, if even the Dingshen Group building couldn't withstand Han Jingyang's methods, He Zhiqiang was naturally even less of a match.

Sure enough, this is a powerful backer, and a super, super thick one at that. She must hold on tight.

After glancing at the tragic state of He Zhiqiang and his wife, Shi Xiaoya quietly drove away. She didn't stop until she returned to He Dingkun's villa, where she sent a message to Han Jingyang: "Boss, He Zhiqiang is gone. Car accident, died on the spot. He Zhiqiang was even impaled in the chest by the guardrail."

...

Jiguang Zhai.

Han Jingyang received Shi Xiaoya's message and let out a long sigh of relief.

Combined skills are indeed powerful.

He could focus on researching this approach in the future.

Blood-Light Calamity + Mental Distraction was already this effective.

What if it were Blood-Light Calamity + Continuous Bad Luck?

The effect of Zhenwu Descends to Earth + Spirit Detention + Invincible the night before last was quite terrifying; the damage simply overflowed.

If he had known, he would have used them more sparingly.

Perhaps a single skill like "Zhenwu Descends to Earth" could have done it.

Fortunately, the cooldown times for these Rank 3 and Rank 5 item skills are relatively short, and a single charge allows for at least two consecutive uses of the skills. Otherwise, he really wouldn't have dared to waste two offensive skills on He Zhiqiang.

It was also fortunate that these two skills were effective enough to send He Zhiqiang away directly.

Han Jingyang's heart was complex, thinking of many things, but he only replied to Shi Xiaoya with three words: "Understood."

Then he pondered what to do next.

He Dingkun was comatose and not far from death.

He Zhiqiang and his wife had gone ahead.

He Zhifei was being detained and interrogated by the authorities; there was a high probability he wouldn't be getting out.

He Zhifei's wife, Wang Xiaoyu, wouldn't be able to escape either.

The first and second generations of the He family were completely finished, leaving only the inscrutable He Zhiyan.

Later, he would have Shi Xiaoya probe into He Zhiyan's background.

If she wasn't a threat, fine.

If she was, he must not show mercy.

Han Jingyang thought about it; there were no urgent tasks at the moment, except for a job for Tongtong, so he was quite free.

In that case, the renovation of Jiguang Zhai could be put on the agenda.

The house at home also needed to be prepared for rebuilding.

Other than that, there was only one task left—treasure hunting.

The more treasures, the better.

He wouldn't complain.

The higher the grade, the better.

It just so happened that he had enough spare cash to splurge for a long time.

He might as well go to the Tianqiao Antique City to take a look; it had been open for half a year, and he had never been there. He heard there were good things.

Just as Han Jingyang was preparing to leave, Shen Yuhai arrived.

He was alone.

After entering and looking around, he asked in a low voice: "Brother, honestly, does that matter with He Zhiqiang have anything to do with you?"

"It does."

"Really?"

"Really. He came to sit at my place, and had a car accident as soon as he left. If he hadn't come to my place, he might have been fine."

"You know what I mean."

"Whether I know or not, that's what I'm saying. Old Shen, what's up? Are you planning to interrogate me?"

"It's not that serious, but your reputation is too big, and there are too many rumors about you among the people."

"Really?"

"Yeah, some people are very well-informed. Plus, the He family fell too quickly, and the rumors are getting more and more mystical. Some even say you are the reincarnation of the Seven Killings Star, specifically here to kill evildoers like He Dingkun."

Han Jingyang laughed: "Just listen to it and let it go. Does anyone actually believe that?"

Shen Yuhai sighed: "Yes, some people actually believe it, and quite a few have even come to me to ask about the situation."

"What do they want to do?"

"They want to do all sorts of things. You need to be mentally prepared. If you aren't, you should lay low and hide until this current wave of attention passes."

"Is it necessary?"

"It is necessary."

Han Jingyang thought for a moment: "Fine, I'll go on vacation in a couple of days."

Shen Yuhai smiled with relief: "Have fun. By the time you come back, the He family matter should be over."

"So fast?"

"The incident caused too much of a stir. In just two days, we've received thousands of reports, all related to the He family and the Dingshen Group. Now, departments up and down are busy as can be."

"Then how do you have time to slack off here?"

"Who says I'm slacking off? I'm here to investigate the situation," Shen Yuhai tapped the table: "Tell me about those twenty million."

"Oh, He Zhiqiang asked me to help him check his Feng Shui."

"You agreed?"

"Yeah."

"Where's the money?"

"Donated. I didn't keep a single cent. It only stayed in the account for less than ten minutes."

Han Jingyang answered every question and said everything as it was, including the threats He Zhiqiang made to him, only omitting the part where he took action against He Zhiqiang.

After asking, Shen Yuhai asked curiously: "Is that 'Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell' formation you mentioned real?"

"Fake."

"You're not lying?"

"I can tell you clearly, I made it up. It was just to stall for time. If I could stall for three to five days and the authorities took action, I would be safe."

"Then is there a Feng Shui formation that can let someone escape death?"

"There isn't," Han Jingyang laughed: "Old Shen, I understand what you mean, but Feng Shui is just Feng Shui. The greatest effect of Feng Shui is to improve or change the aura and atmosphere of an individual, residence, or office. At most, it can influence the luck of a person or a group to a certain extent, but it can't do anything too complex."
