Chapter 88

Qin Wan'er had no idea what the two were doing. She suddenly realized that the guy who had injured Xu Yun and Qiu Yan so badly had not yet been dealt with, and a cold sweat instantly broke out on her spine.

Just two hours earlier, Qin Wan'er was still at the police station, loudly demanding to catch the cruel murderer herself. Now, however, she was afraid. She finally understood that the world she lived in was far from ordinary, and that there were experts like Xu Yun and Qiu Yan.

Clearly, the guy they called Red Scorpion, the S-class wanted criminal Hao Kai, was also an expert of their kind.

Qin Wan'er finally understood today that when ordinary people face experts, they don't even have a chance to fight back. A sudden thought popped into her mind: she wanted Xu Yun to train her into an expert. Only by becoming an expert would she have the means to apprehend the criminals who were also experts.

"Phew..." Xu Yun quickly adjusted his meridians, took a deep breath, and opened his eyes to see Qin Wan'er staring at him with a serious look.

Xu Yun glanced at Qiu Yan, whose clothes he had torn, and quickly said to Qin Wan'er, "You stay here and take care of her. When she asks, tell her it was you who removed the medicine from her clothes. Don't betray me, I still want to live a few more years."

Qin Wan'er nodded, then shook her head. She wasn't a doctor and didn't know much about it, and the bottles and jars clearly weren't hers.

Xu Yun didn't have time to explain and quickly ran to the window, leaped down again, and went to deal with Red Scorpion.

However, when Xu Yun came out again, Red Scorpion was nowhere to be seen.

Xu Yun instantly felt a chill. He was sure that Red Scorpion couldn't have stood up and moved on his own in such a short time, which meant he had other accomplices!

This assumption was truly terrifying. Xu Yun's piercing gaze quickly scanned the surroundings, but he saw nothing unusual.

No, if Red Scorpion had other accomplices, they would have helped him when he attacked. Xu Yun knew that when he fought Red Scorpion, his back was wide open. If someone had attacked from behind, he wouldn't have had the energy to block, and he would have been the one lying on the ground, and he wouldn't have had the chance to break through his mental state.

But no one had attacked during the entire fight! Could Red Scorpion really have the ability to recover and escape in such a short time, or was his fall a complete deception?

No, it couldn't be that simple. Xu Yun ruled out each thought that came to mind, and he still believed that Red Scorpion was taken away by someone else.

But who could have done this?

At this moment, Qin Wan'er also ran out. She was just as concerned about the fate of the wanted criminal, but the scene left her completely baffled: "Where is he?"

"I don't know." Xu Yun saw Qin Wan'er come out and looked around again, wary that Red Scorpion might be hiding and launch a sudden attack.

Qin Wan'er was extremely angry. How could he say he didn't know? Didn't he knock the guy down?

Wait, a sudden thought flashed in Qin Wan'er's mind: "Could Ma Pinghai have saved him?"

"Ma Pinghai was taken to the police station by you," Xu Yun frowned.

"Because there was no evidence, and Ma Pinghai has a legitimate identity, the police were afraid of causing unnecessary public opinion, so they had to release him," Qin Wan'er was helpless. The police couldn't just arrest people randomly.

Xu Yun's face turned serious: "It still couldn't be Ma Pinghai."

"Why not?" Qin Wan'er asked: "He is indeed related to Ma Pinghai."

"Ma Pinghai doesn't have the ability to take someone away without a sound," Xu Yun narrowed his eyes and continued: "Hao Kai is called Red Scorpion because he is ruthless and venomous. If he knew Ma Pinghai was in the police station, I think, regardless of whether Ma Pinghai said anything, he wouldn't let Ma Pinghai off."

Qin Wan'er was shocked: "What do you mean?"

"Hao Kai might have already killed Ma Pinghai," Xu Yun's guess wasn't baseless.

Qin Wan'er shook her head in disbelief: "Impossible, Ma Pinghai was just released from the police station, he didn't have the time to commit the crime."

Xu Yun said coldly: "Red Scorpion only needs a few seconds to kill Ma Pinghai. If my guess is correct, Ma Pinghai must have already been killed near the police station."

A chill ran through Qin Wan'er: "Are these just your guesses...?"

"Yes, just my guesses," Xu Yun nodded, helplessly: "I don't have time to care about Ma Pinghai's fate. I just want to know who took Red Scorpion away. It seems the danger hasn't passed."

Qin Wan'er tried to calm herself: "Xu Yun, can you tell me who Qiu Yan is? Why did she get involved with such dangerous people?"

Xu Yun smiled slightly: "Qiu Yan herself is a dangerous person. However, the one who probably got involved with these people isn't her, but Guo Guo. Qiu Yan is just the one protecting Guo Guo."

"Guo Guo?" Qin Wan'er almost choked: "How could a little kid get involved with these people?"

Xu Yun didn't answer. This wasn't something that could be explained in a few words: "I don't know either. Forget it, let's go back to sleep. I don't think anything will happen tonight."

"Sleep? That guy was saved, aren't you worried about more danger?" Qin Wan'er was thinking of going directly to the police station to mobilize the special police to thoroughly investigate Hedong City!

"If he wants to attack, he probably won't wait until we notice," Xu Yun smiled faintly: "The best time for him to attack was when Qiu Yan and I were healing. Since he didn't attack then, it means he doesn't plan to."

Qin Wan'er thought Xu Yun's analysis made sense, but it was a bit risky.

Xu Yun could see Qin Wan'er's worry: "I'm not a police officer, so I don't think like you. Don't worry, I have my own way of thinking, and I believe I understand those people better than you."

"What kind of monsters are you all?" Qin Wan'er smiled bitterly.

"Have you ever seen such a handsome monster?" Xu Yun touched his chin.

Qin Wan'er rolled her eyes, speechless: "Stop being so vain, go back and check on Qiu Yan."

The two returned to the second floor of the herbal medicine shop. Just as Xu Yun was about to open the door, Qin Wan'er stopped him, pouting: "I'll go put some clothes on her first, then you can come in. Otherwise, it would be too easy for you."

Damn, Xu Yun was quite frustrated. He had been hoping to get another look.

"Your expression looks disappointed? Humph, pervert." Qin Wan'er was unhappy: "Did you not see enough just now? I suspect you had ulterior motives, applying medicine could have been left to me, but you insisted on doing it yourself, even taking off a girl's clothes..."

"Is your tone a bit sour?" Xu Yun shrugged: "Qin Wan'er, are you jealous? Cough, cough, cough, if you feel it's unfair, I can make an exception and help you too."

Qin Wan'er kicked at him, but Xu Yun dodged, saying unhappily: "If you keep being so cocky, watch out!"

Xu Yun stopped joking with Qin Wan'er: "Take care of Qiu Yan tonight, I'll thank you on Guo Guo's behalf."

Qin Wan'er snorted: "Who needs your thanks, I'm not a cold-blooded animal."

"Another thing, I want to ask you, will you report today's events to your superiors tomorrow?" Xu Yun suddenly thought of this unaddressed issue.

Qin Wan'er and Xu Yun looked at each other for half a minute before she slowly spoke: "What do you think?"

Xu Yun was straightforward and didn't avoid the question: "Of course, I hope you won't report it to the higher-ups. If you do, Qiu Yan and I will be caught up in your police plan, and we won't be able to avoid it."

"Isn't it better to cooperate with the police?" Qin Wan'er didn't understand why Xu Yun always seemed to resist the police.

Xu Yun nodded: "I don't like trouble."

Qin Wan'er looked at Xu Yun helplessly for a long time before finally compromising: "Alright, I can promise you that I won't report today's events to the city police investigation team."

Xu Yun smiled: "Alright, what's your condition?"

Of course, he didn't believe that Qin Wan'er, a police officer with a sense of social responsibility, would do this without a reason. Xu Yun knew she would have her conditions and demands.

"I won't beat around the bush." Qin Wan'er shrugged: "I want to take a bet."

"A bet?" Xu Yun smiled faintly: "You're betting on me?"

Qin Wan'er's face showed a hint of unease. She hoped she was making the right bet. She believed Xu Yun wouldn't let her down, and she didn't want to betray the principles she had held since entering the police academy.

Sigh, Xu Yun smiled bitterly. It seemed he had to resolve this matter, whether for Guo Guo's safety or for Qin Wan'er's trust. He had to deal with the threat of Red Scorpion himself.

"Alright, you made the right choice. I also think it's more reliable to trust me than to trust your police force." Xu Yun grinned: "Take care of Qiu Yan."

"Don't worry." Qin Wan'er went to Qiu Yan's room.

Xu Yun turned back to his room, and a look of pain appeared on his face. He had been so focused on helping Qiu Yan expel the poison that he hadn't realized the toxicity from the scratch on his left arm couldn't be eliminated by the venom ointment alone.

After calming down, Xu Yun sat cross-legged and used his internal energy to expel the poison that had invaded his heart and lungs through his left arm. This damn venomous scorpion was not easy to deal with. But who had saved him? This was the most pressing issue for Xu Yun.

Although he had broken through his mental state and entered the ranks of super experts, if the Green Ghost attacked with full force, Xu Yun's chances of winning were still low. After all, two fists can't fight four hands. The man who had eliminated Su Hang and Feng Qiansui in one night was not to be underestimated.

[Who saved the escaped Red Scorpion? Who is the true underground boss of Hedong City? What is the protagonist's true identity? See how he cleverly seizes substantial assets and rises to the top of Hedong. How will the Green Ghost's疯狂报复展开？Xu Yun will carry the beauties and sweep all directions.
