Chapter 118 - Asking for Trouble!
Chapter 118 Asking for Trouble!
Chu Xun’s expression turned colder, and the atmosphere seemed to freeze and was really depressing.
Tang Rou had been missing for a few hours, yet there was no news of her.
Azure Dragon, Golden Monkey, and Green Snake were tense all over and dared not breathe heavily. Chu Xun’s aura was so terrifying that they found it hard to breathe.
Moreover, they felt very ashamed for they, who served in the National Security Agency and were Martial Tao practicers, did not find any clue about Tang Rou, who had been missing for hours.
Chu Xun started to name those who might have kidnapped Tang Rou inwardly.
“Liu Xiaobai, could it be her?”
Chu Xun recalled what had happened after he met Liu Xiaobai, and he lowered his eyes to hide the sharp light in his eyes.
...
...
“Xiaobai, have you done anything that you shouldn’t?” the top official felt uneasy and had a foreboding that something might happen.
“What are you referring to, Senior Brother?” Liu Xiaobai asked with a smile.
The top official sighed slightly and replied, “You’re my junior apprentice sister, so I have to remind you not to mess around with Chu Xun because you couldn’t bear the consequences.”
Liu Xiaobai was stunned for a moment and then giggled. “Senior Brother, Chu Xun has left here, so stop pretending,” she said.
The top official was slightly shocked and blurted out, “Pretending? What do you mean by saying that?”
Liu Xiaobai told him her conjecture with a smile.
The longer the top official listened to her, the more terrible his face looked. He did not understand why she would have such an absurd idea that he defended Chu Xun just to save his own face.
“Did you really do something improper against Chu Xun?” the top official asked nervously.
“No, I didn’t. Don’t wrong me, Senior Brother.” Liu Xiaobai showed a cute smile.
However, the top official did not think the smile cute at all. He guessed that Liu Xiaobai must have done something improper.
“Xiaobai, let’s not talk about other things. As your senior brother, I just want to suggest you, if you have done something against Chu Xun, make up for it quickly, or it will be too late.”
The old man in the wheelchair suddenly thumped the stone table and said with dissatisfaction, “I know you’re angry at Xiaobai’s attitude toward Chu Xun, but she has apologized to Chu Xun for that. You’re her senior brother, so you should take good care of her and shouldn’t scold her all the time. Is your junior sister less important than Chu Xun, who is just an outsider?”
The top official felt helpless and said, “Master, you don’t know Chu Xun at all. He...”
“Mr. Chu, you can’t go in without the top official’s permission,” one of the Grandmasters who were responsible for protecting the top official said.
The top official froze and could not continue his words.
“Let him in!” the top official said. He knew that these two Grandmasters could not hold off Chu Xun at all.
Chu Xun looked indifferent and walked into the yard slowly.
“Oh, Chu Xun, you came back. What’s the matter?” the top official asked with a smile.
“I want to ask Miss Liu some questions,” Chu Xun said drily.
He turned to look at Liu Xiaobai with emotionless eyes and asked, “Is it you who kidnapped Tang Rou?”
Liu Xiaobai’s expression froze. She then giggled and answered, “Who is Tang Rou? Why would I kidnap her? Don’t you know that it’s illegal to kidnap others, Major General Chu? How could I do such a thing?”
“Major General Chu, I admire you, but it doesn’t mean that you can act so rudely at my house. You actually suspected my disciple for no reason. Do you really think that I’m a useless old man?” the old man in the wheelchair growled, trying to defend his disciple.
“It’s true that you’re a useless old man now. Your meridians have been destroyed, and your dantian has been shattered. You will die in half a year without treatment,” Chu Xun said in a calm tone.
The pupils of the old man in the wheelchair contracted, and he could not help but tremble. However, he regained his composure so quickly that no one had spotted his body tremble.
The top official’s expression changed; this iron emperor-like man panicked. He looked at the old man in the wheelchair nervously. Just as an old saying goes, he who teaches you for one day is your father for life.
Chu Xun ignored the two old men and looked at Liu Xiaobai.
Liu Xiaobai’s eyes flickered with a disdainful expression on her face. “How could he, a man at the first level in the Acquired Realm, diagnose a Grandmaster’s injuries? He must be playing a trick. I can’t believe his words.”
“Let Tang Rou go, and your master still can be saved,” Chu Xun said.
Liu Xiaobai raised the corner of her mouth and said in a cold tone, “Major General Chu, I admire you for you demonstrated the power of our Huaxia soldiers and frightened our enemies, but I didn’t expect you to humiliate my master like that. Don’t you think you’re being too arrogant?”
“Xiaobai, shut up,” the top official growled. He did not believe that Chu Xun would talk nonsense.
“Senior Brother, how could you believe an outsider who talked nonsense and even defamed and cursed our master?” Liu Xiaobai tried to fight back with an excuse of righteousness.
“Liu Xiaobai, I warn you, if you really kidnapped Tang Rou, I’d suggest you admit it as soon as possible. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being merciless to you,” the top official was annoyed badly and looked grave.
“Senior Brother, it seems that you firmly believe it’s me who kidnapped Tang Rou and is resolute to blame it on me. Since that’s the case, I have nothing to say. You’re the leader of the country, while I’m just a weak woman. Kill me or skin me, I won’t struggle.”
The top official’s face turned red with anger. If it were not for his master’s presence, he would have slapped her in the face.
“You’re so noisy!”
Chu Xun looked cold and impatient. With one of his hands crooked like a claw, he released a strong pulling force from his palm.
Liu Xiaobai suddenly changed her expression and looked frightened as she was forced to fly toward Chu Xun.
She was at the first level in the Acquired Realm, but at the moment, she was pulled to Chu Xun like a piece of paper by the pulling force, no matter how hard she struggled.
“Master, save me...” Liu Xiaobai was panic-stricken and frightened.
The old man in the wheelchair was so worried that he wanted to help his disciple, but as Chu Xun raised his other hand, over a dozen Reincarnation Lines tied the old man tightly.
The old man in the wheelchair widened his eyes and looked shocked. It took him much effort to run his Internal Breath, but Chu Xun forced his Internal Breath into his dantian. As a result, he could not move at all and panicked, not knowing what skill Chu Xun was performing.
Liu Xiaobai screamed and struggled, but all in vain. Chu Xun caught her neck, which was as slender and white as that of a swan.
Chu Xun knew it was difficult to let Liu Xiaobai tell him the truth, so he decided to use Soul-searching Technique.
Bang!
Something fell down from Liu Xiaobai’s body. It turned out to be her cell phone.
“Chu Xun, please wait a minute!” the top official shouted anxiously.
Chu Xun looked at him emotionlessly. The top official picked up the phone on the ground and said, “Chu Xun, there is no evidence showing that she has something to do with Tang Rou’s missing. Don’t be so worried. Let’s check Xiaobai’s phone first. If it’s really her who kidnapped Tang Rou, there should be some clues in her phone.”
Chu Xun frowned but agreed in the end. If he used Soul-searching Technique, he would be the only one who knew the result, in which case, the top official and the old man in the wheelchair would not believe his words. Though he did not care whether they believed him or not, he did not want to cause trouble for no reason.
Liu Xiaobai’s cell phone was locked, and only her fingerprint could unlock it, so the top official walked to her and tried to unlock the phone with each of her fingerprints. He made it in the end.
Liu Xiaobai looked even more frightened because she did not delete her call log.
The top official opened her call log and dialed the latest phone number on it. Two seconds later, someone answered the phone in a sharp voice.
“Xiaobai, do you miss me? But I don’t have time to dote on you recently because I have to reserve my energy to deal with Tang Rou. Do you know how hateable she is? She injured me with something looking like a huge bell jar. Now, I can’t get into the jar and she doesn’t come out either. But she is running out of food, so she will come out herself and be a plaything of mine. Haha...”
The other party talked for a while but did not hear Liu Xiaobai’s reply, so he was suspicious about it. “Hello? Why don’t you talk, Xiaobai?” he asked.
Since the other party answered the phone, Liu Xiaobai had collapsed. She looked pale, her eyes dull. She knew she was done this time.
“Who are you?” Chu Xun suddenly asked, his voice chilling.
The other party was obviously stunned for a while and hung up the phone quickly.
The top official looked at Liu Xiaobai with anger burning in his eyes and thought she was indeed looking for trouble. He reminded her many times, but she did not listen. At this moment, he was in an impulse to call her names.
The old man in the wheelchair looked resentful and felt deeply grieved. He had not expected that his youngest disciple, whom he doted on the most, actually kidnapped Tang Rou.
Chu Xun slammed Liu Xiaobai violently on the stone table without any emotion on his face.
Bang!
The stone table was knocked down, and the wine pot and cups broke into pieces on the ground.
Liu Xiaobai screamed in pain. Her hair scattered, blood dripping down her mouth corner, she looked miserable.
