Chapter 520: Chapter 519 A Mob
"Hmph, you lot, a ragtag bunch, dare to cross hands with me? Ridiculous!" Wang Hai said with disdain.
As his words fell, Wang Hai abruptly raised his hand and struck forward. A burst of Qi energy exploded instantly, sweeping out like a tidal wave and sending those dozens of black-clad bodyguards reeling backward.
"Ah..."
A black-clad bodyguard was injured, lying on the ground and wailing.
"How about it? Are you convinced now?" Wang Hai looked at the remaining few and asked with a smile.
One of the bodyguards, grinding his teeth, said, "We admit you are formidable, but do you think that scares us? Let me tell you, even if you are a Qi-refined martial artist, we are not afraid!"
"Is that so? Then try me!" Wang Hai said with a smirk.
"Fine!"
As soon as the bodyguard finished speaking, he leaped out explosively, his body shooting towards Wang Hai like a cannonball, his right leg kicking towards Wang Hai’s chest.
"Bang!"
Wang Hai casually grabbed the leg that the bodyguard kicked towards him, easily repelling him ten meters away, followed by another palm strike that sent him flying, crashing against the wall, spitting blood, and falling to the ground.
"My goodness, that guy, he actually defeated a Qi-refined martial artist?"
Seeing this scene, the surrounding people gasped in astonishment, hardly believing what they were witnessing, as if it was a scene straight out of a TV drama.
"Kid, you’re pretty badass!"
At this moment, Liu’s father’s face turned extremely grim; he hadn’t expected Wang Hai, such a character, to actually show up.
"Thanks for the compliment!" Wang Hai said with a smile.
"Hmph!"
Liu’s father snorted coldly and turned to leave.
"Wait a moment!"
Suddenly, Wang Hai called out.
Liu’s father paused his steps, turned his head back, and glared at Wang Hai, "What else do you want?"
Wang Hai smiled and said, "I’d like to ask you, where are those bodies?"
"Over there!" Liu’s father pointed towards the distance.
"Alright!"
Wang Hai responded and then quickly walked over.
...
In the abandoned factory, there was a room with its door closed. Clearly, the murderer was hiding inside.
"Bam!"
Wang Hai lifted his foot and kicked the door open violently, entering the room.
A musty smell hit him, nearly making Wang Hai vomit.
"Who’s there? Who’s outside?"
A panicked voice came from inside the room.
"It’s me!"
Wang Hai shouted.
"Ah! Wang Hai? How could it be you?" The panicked voice rang out again, filled with fear and unease.
Hearing this, a bad premonition rose in Wang Hai’s heart.
"What exactly have you done?" Wang Hai asked.
"Arson and murder!" the voice roared, "I’ve killed more than a hundred people, I want money, lots and lots of money..."
Hearing this, Wang Hai’s expression turned cold, "Do you even know who you’ve been killing?"
"I don’t care who they are, but I want money. Give me a lot of money, or I’ll let them go, otherwise..."
Before he could finish speaking, the man charged out of the room, attacking Wang Hai.
Seeing the attack, Wang Hai sneered, "You think you can kill me? Dream on!"
As Wang Hai’s words ended, he clenched his fists and hurled a ferocious iron punch, striking the man in the chest and sending him flying back.
"Ptui!"
The man spat out blood, staggered backward several steps, and fell to the ground, powerless to fight back.
"You...you actually..."
Seeing the scene before him, the man’s eyes bulged, filled with disbelief as he didn’t know how he had provoked Wang Hai, such a formidable figure, who could not withstand a single blow from him.
"I’d advise you not to entertain thoughts of revenge!"
Wang Hai looked at the man, speaking sternly, "I came here today to save lives and help the injured, not to let you wantonly kill the innocent!"
"I understand..." the man said with a trembling voice.
"Get out!"
Wang Hai said.
Upon hearing this, the man hurriedly stood up and stumbled as he ran out of the dilapidated factory.
Seeing this, the other bodyguards dared not linger either; they rushed to flee the abandoned factory.
...
At the same time.
Inside the Jiangzhou City police station, several officers were working on cases when they suddenly heard the sound of a car engine outside.
"Officer, there’s a car outside!" one of the officers said.
"Oh?"
The leading officer was startled and asked, "What’s the license plate?"
"It’s an Audi A6L, seems like it’s from Nanhu Province!"
Upon hearing this, the leading officer’s brow furrowed slightly and he said, "Could it be that the police from Jiangnan Province have come knocking?"
"Officer, should we intercept?"
Another officer asked.
After thinking for a moment, the leading officer said, "Intercept!"
"Yes, officer!"
Immediately, two officers charged out of the building, ready to intercept.
"Screech!"
Just then, the car door was pushed open, and Wang Hai got out.
"Who are you? Don’t you know this is a police station?" one of the officers shouted loudly.
"I’m here to help you solve the case!" Wang Hai said.
"Ha ha, kid, stop joking around. What case can an ordinary citizen like you solve?" the other officer laughed.
"I’m here to help you!" Wang Hai sneered and said, "Or do you think I’m joking?"
"Heh, kid, it’s not that we don’t want to believe you, but reality is right before our eyes. If you don’t believe it, you can call 110 and ask!" the officer said.
Upon hearing this, Wang Hai took out his mobile phone, dialed the number, and handed it over, "You call!"
"Hello?"
Noises came from the phone, then the call connected, and a middle-aged man’s voice came through, "Hello, what can I do for you?"
"Hello, I am a police officer from Donglin County police station. I suspect there’s a murderer here, so I need you to immediately send officers over and assist with the investigation!" Wang Hai said calmly.
"A murderer? Okay, hold on, I’ll send someone right away!"
The phone call ended, Wang Hai put away his mobile phone, then turned to the two officers with a cold voice, "Can we now go and visit the victim?"
"Yes, follow us!"
The two officers nodded and led Wang Hai into the room.
In the room, a man lay on a bed, his body covered in bloodstains, looking extremely gruesome.
"That’s him!"
Wang Hai’s gaze sharpened as he saw the man and asked in a cold voice, "What is your name?"
"Zhao Minghui!"
"Zhao Minghui, I’ll remember that!"
Wang Hai gave the other a cold look, then turned and left, heading outside.
...
Half an hour later, Wang Hai left the abandoned factory and drove to the outskirts of town. He stopped in front of a three-story building and looked up at a painting hanging there.
The painting depicted a man, his back to the sunlight, his figure appearing somewhat weathered, but it was still possible to discern that in his youth he was no ordinary person.
This man was none other than Li Yuanba, whom Wang Hai had encountered in the hospital.
However, the painting was damaged, with only part of it remaining.
"I will restore it completely!" Wang Hai thought to himself.
With that in mind, Wang Hai took out scissors and glue from his bag, carefully cleaned them up, cut the painting into pieces, put them into a plastic bag, and then drove back to the center of Jiangzhou City.
Not long after Wang Hai left, a sedan pulled up next to a grave on the outskirts of Jiangzhou City. A man in a black suit with short hair got out of the car and walked towards the grave.
The man squatted in front of the tombstone, looked at the portrait on it, and sighed, "Yuan Ba, I never thought that our final farewell would be like this. If possible, I hope you can forgive me because... I had my compelling reasons. I hope you can understand that after all, I am your mentor!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man suddenly raised his head, his gaze ice-cold as he scanned the surroundings, and then he vanished next to the grave.
