120: Chapter 120 Yun Zhuo's DNA Identification Results
With Wind-Treading Steps combined with Gravity Manipulation, Yun Zhuo took flight directly from the spot, just like those peerless masters in Wuxia films.
With a gun slung behind one hand, he glided across the collapsing skyscrapers, moving and leaping as if on level ground, faster than Dongfang Bubai and Wei Yixiao combined.
He soon caught up to the elder Teacher Su.
At this moment, she was lying prone on an abandoned building, holding her gun with both hands and aiming at a camp in the distance.
On the other side, Inoue Maru scrambled and crawled into an abandoned villa.
“Mr. Tian Wei, Mr. Tian Wei! Your younger brother has been slaughtered! He's been killed!”
A man suddenly rushed out of the abandoned villa and hoisted Inoue Maru up by his collar. “What did you say?”
Inoue Maru grabbed the man's hands with both of his own and swallowed hard. “Tian... Mr. Tian Mang was just murdered.”
“Who did it?”
“A despicable brat! He didn't give Tian Mang-san a chance to speak at all; he killed Tian Mang-san the moment he attacked!”
“Then why aren't you dead?”
“I... I saw things going south and slipped away quickly to come back and report to you.”
At this moment, several adventurers ran over.
“Boss, calm down first. For something like this to happen now, it's definitely not that simple.”
“Yeah, Boss, for Little Tian to be taken out at a time like this, it’s very likely a trap by Dongji Company.”
Tian Wei shoved Inoue Maru aside. “Tell me exactly what happened, in detail.”
“It was like this: after breakfast this morning, Tian Mang-san wanted a cigarette but found we were out. We went to Nun Village to buy some, and on the way back, we saw that kid's car had been stolen.
Miss Mazi laughed at them a bit, and the kid claimed we stole the car.
Without waiting for Mr. Tian Mang to explain, the kid launched a gravity sneak attack. Before we could react, he completed the Body Integration with his War Princess.
As a result, Mr. Tian Mang was a step too slow because of the sneak attack and was killed by him.”
“That doesn't sound like Dongji Company's style; it sounds like an accident.”
The second-in-command of the Rattlesnake Adventure Group, Liu Youcai, spoke up.
The third-in-command, Ma Biao, had a different opinion. “Second Brother, Dongji Company has always been cunning. Since that company was established in Central Heaven City, have few people suffered at their hands?”
Having said that, he looked back at Inoue Maru. “Do you remember what that kid looks like?”
Inoue Maru nodded. “I remember. He killed Mr. Tian Mang; I’d recognize him even if he turned to ash.”
“Very well. I’ll have A-Cai go with you later to identify him.”
“Ah, you guys aren't coming along? What I mean is, that kid isn't just despicable, he's strong too. If A-Cai goes alone, he might not be able to handle him.”
“Find him first, then we'll talk.”
“Fine... alright then.”
After Inoue Maru finished speaking, he glanced at the three of them and cursed inwardly. 'What a bunch of cowards. Their brother was killed, and instead of seeking revenge, they're sitting here wondering if it's a trap.'
Outside the camp, atop an abandoned high-rise building.
Yun Zhuo patted the elder Teacher Su's shoulder. “There's no point anymore. Let's withdraw quickly.”
“Then what do we do next?”
“Stay hidden in the village and don't come out, of course. We'll wait until they start fighting among themselves.”
“But what if they enter the village?”
“They won't. If they dared to enter the village, they would have occupied it long ago; they wouldn't have waited until now.”
...
Nun Village.
Di Zhenzhen finished reading Su Zixing's letter.
Jiang Jingjing, who was nearby, saw her expression change and quickly asked, “What did the Su Family's letter say?”
Di Zhenzhen handed the crystal card to Jiang Jingjing. “Su Jingzhou wants us to give Yun Zhuo a sister to serve as his wingman.”
“Aren't we all just scrap in his eyes? How can we serve as a wingman?”
“That's what I find strange too. Has the Su Family found a way to improve our talent?”
“The only way to improve a War Princess's talent is with spirit origin stones, but those are useless to us. Didn't Su Jingzhou already try that years ago?”
“Forget it, these aren't things for us to worry about. The problem now is that the Su Family wants a person. Who do you plan to send?”
Jiang Jingjing thought for a moment. “What were the results of that kid's DNA identification?”
“He is indeed Dr. Qiu's son.”
“That's good then. Let me go. He probably doesn't know his mother's true identity yet; someone needs to tell him.”
“You?” Di Zhenzhen looked at her suspiciously. “If you go, who will be the Temple Invoker? Don't forget, only your genes can establish a connection with the Goddess. If you leave, who will protect the village?”
“Isn't there still the Su Family?”
“Did you forget what Dr. Qiu said back then? Having a father or mother with means isn't as good as having them yourself. How can we place our lives in the hands of others?”
“You don't want to go yourself, do you?”
“Heh, have you considered whether there's any point in us arguing here? With so many sisters, why would Xiao Zhuo necessarily choose between the two of us?”
Jiang Jingjing sighed. “Sigh, that's true.”
Suddenly, Di Zhenzhen remembered something and asked, “By the way, do you know what 'fixing the water pipes' means?”
“Fixing the water pipes? Doesn't it just mean fixing the water pipes? Is there another meaning?”
“I don't know, but when Xiao Zhuo said it today, I felt like the kid was being cryptic.”
“A quirky little brat. By the way, where are they?"
“Didn't you say you wanted to keep them in the village to see if we could restore Number Eighteen's memory?”
“They went out to look for the car. They should be back soon.”
“Looking for the car? Only you could come up with that. Once a car is lost here, can it ever be found again?”
As they were speaking, footsteps were heard outside.
Di Zhenzhen smiled. “See, they're back.”
The two went out and saw Yun Zhuo and the others appearing at the courtyard gate looking dejected.
Di Zhenzhen smiled and asked, “Well, little guy, did you find the car?”
“Sister Zhenzhen, you really are a prophet. You said our car would be gone, and it really was gone. Why don't you calculate when I'll get rich?”
“You little...” Di Zhenzhen smiled and comforted him. “Since it's already happened, you might as well relax and stay in our village for a few more days. I'll have a mysterious grand gift for you when the time comes.”
Yun Zhuo's eyes lit up. “What grand gift?”
“Since I said it's a mysterious grand gift, I obviously can't say it now.”
Then she changed the subject. “You must be tired after tossing about all morning. Jingjing, take them to rest.”
The place where the three of them were staying wasn't far, only two houses away from the Village Chief's home.
When they arrived, they saw a small two-story house. Like the other houses in the village, it had a vegetable garden in front, but the garlic and onions planted in this garden were all in full bloom.
They looked like fuzzy little balls perched on the flower stalks, a patch of red and white that was quite beautiful.
After bringing the three of them there, Jiang Jingjing told them that if they needed anything, they could go directly to her or the Village Chief; she lived in the courtyard just ahead.
The three of them looked around the house. It seemed no one had lived here for many years; in the air, aside from a sharp metallic scent and the fresh smell of fabric, there was no hint of human presence.
“Come, I want to show you something.”
Yun Zhuo pulled the younger Teacher Su toward the bedroom they had just picked.
“So mysterious. Are you trying to play a trick on me again?”
“Teacher Su, speak with a conscience. When have I ever tricked you? Isn't it always you who tricks me?”
Teacher Su subconsciously glanced at her sister, then pinched Yun Zhuo's arm and whispered, “You brat, my sister is right there. What nonsense are you spouting?”
“What's there to fear? She can't understand anyway.”
