Chapter 39

Five meters away, the distance was covered in an instant. As he ran, Lu Li let out a loud shout, leaped up, and kicked Xia Ming.

"Ah!"

With one kick, Lu Li crouched on the passenger seat, grabbed Xia Ming by the collar, and forcefully lifted him up, then threw him out of the car with a big hand.

Xia Ming seemed to still be in shock, even the defiant look in his eyes hadn't faded.

He even considered whether he should watch the fight between the two, since both Lu Li and Zhang Lin were experts, and they were ancient martial arts experts at that. Their battle would surely be spectacular.

However, he never imagined that Zhang Lin, who he relied on like a great wall, didn't even put up a fight before collapsing, while Lu Li, like a fierce tiger descending from the mountain, quickly rushed over and subdued him.

He now deeply understood the famous line from Zhi Zun Bao: the ups and downs of life are too fast and too intense, making him feel like he was about to wet his pants.

Although he didn't know why Zhang Lin had retreated without a fight, Xia Ming was very clear about the current situation.

Without his last support, he was definitely no match for Lu Li. Although Lu Li wouldn't kill him, he would definitely make him suffer.

He slightly lowered his head, his face dark, and clenched his teeth, pleading, "Lu Li, I can give Shen Muqing to you. I swear I won't cause you any more trouble, just let me go." As he spoke, his eyes were filled with hatred.

Hearing Xia Ming's low plea for mercy, Lu Li felt a deep disdain, kicked him over, and then went through his pockets, finding nothing special.

Seeing Lu Li go through his pockets, Xia Ming took out his wallet, and while taking out money, said, "How much do you want? I'll give it to you right away. If it's not enough, I'll have it sent to you immediately."

"You keep it!"

Lu Li said, pinching his chin and looking at Xia Ming, feeling puzzled. He didn't have anything special on him either, so why couldn't Wang Xuexi get close?

Xia Ming didn't dare to meet Lu Li's gaze, seemingly fearful, but his hands were tightly gripping the sand.

He was certain that if he could escape today, he would never let it go.

Lu Li stared at Xia Ming's neck, and suddenly his heart moved. There was actually a red string there. He quickly pulled it out and found that one end of the red string was a small coin-sized octagram, with an ancient and simple design, clearly from a long time ago.

"It must be this."

Lu Li pulled off the octagram, examined it from all angles, and became even more certain.

He casually put away the octagram, waved to Xia Ming's back, and said, "It's your turn next, don't make it too bloody." Then he turned to face the sea, looking at the shimmering waves under the moonlight, and sighed, "The night view of Haicheng is really beautiful."

Noticing that Lu Li had turned around, Xia Ming's eyes turned cold, and he secretly glanced at the car, clearly preparing to run. But just as he was about to get up, a pale ghost face with bloodshot eyes suddenly appeared before him.

The face was only ten centimeters away, and as their eyes met, his body hair stood on end, and his scalp tingled. Before he could even scream, a warm stream flowed into his pants.

"Who, who are you?"

"Do you really not remember who I am?"

Hearing the voice that seemed to come from far away, Xia Ming carefully looked at Wang Xuexi, his face changed drastically, "It's you? I didn't mean to, please let me go, please." As he spoke, he got up and knelt on the ground, bowing and pleading, tears streaming down his face, on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Wang Xuexi's face showed more sorrow, "I admit that at first I was with you for money, because I wanted my parents to live better and my brother to have a chance to study. It wasn't until I met him that I realized money isn't love, and it can't buy happiness. I wanted to leave you, but you killed me, making me a wandering ghost after death. Ha ha, this is my retribution, but you—can't escape either."

"No, don't kill me. Ah!"

Wang Xuexi, ignoring Xia Ming's pleas, pounced on him.

One scream after another, one plea after another, one regret after another, all seemed to prove what Xia Ming had done.

Lu Li never turned around.

"Lu Li, thank you."

Only when he heard the voice behind him did he turn around, looked at the pitiful Xia Ming, and sighed silently.

"You go! Come find me tomorrow night, I'll send you into the cycle of rebirth."

Wang Xuexi instantly disappeared. If it weren't for Xia Ming still lying in a pool of blood, no one would have known she had appeared.

Lu Li walked to Xia Ming and looked at him, shaking his head slightly.

Mental breakdown, depleted energy, shattered liver and gallbladder, excessive blood loss—unless a god came, he was surely dead.

"Ah, if only you had known this from the beginning."

These words were for both Wang Xuexi and Xia Ming.

He turned to look at Zhang Lin, who was trembling, his face pale, and tears streaming down his weathered old face. Zhang Lin was still relatively good; of the six black-clad bodyguards, every one of them had wet their pants, clearly terrified.

"Gentlemen, you all saw, his death has nothing to do with me." Lu Li smiled, spreading his hands, looking innocent.

"This, this—female ghost revenge?"

Zhang Lin stared at Lu Li, as if only the smile on Lu Li's face could give him courage.

Perhaps driven by a desire for revenge, Wang Xuexi had clearly forgotten to hide herself, and was seen by Zhang Lin and the others.

Lu Li was smart and had anticipated this, so he deliberately turned around and didn't watch the bloody scene.

"Maybe! You know, if you do too many bad things, you're bound to run into trouble. As for the details, I think we should discuss them. Young Master Xia, seeing the object that reminded him of someone he had killed, felt deep remorse and committed suicide in public. What do you think of this reason?"

Xia Ming was dead, and Wang Xuexi had left. As a moral and law-abiding citizen, Lu Li felt it was necessary to deal with Xia Ming's aftermath.

Of course, not dealing with it wasn't an option. Who would have thought that Xia Ming, who had brought him here, would end up dead first?

After hearing Lu Li's words, Zhang Lin's mouth twitched. He turned to look at the few still conscious people, silent.

Lu Li chuckled, "Of course, you can also spread rumors and frame me, but what if she comes back again, hehe."

"Ah?"

Zhang Lin was shocked, his teeth chattering uncontrollably.

"Lu, Lu Young Master, we'll do as you say, just don't let her come back."

Lu Li's lips curled up, and he smiled. After being scared by Wang Xuexi, he guessed that even under severe interrogation, these people wouldn't dare to say anything.

Compared to the unknown fear, physical pain was nothing.

Of course, he couldn't rely on these people. Some things were hard to explain, and some precautions were necessary.

He pulled Zhang Lin up, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile, "Remember, punishing evil and promoting good is the responsibility of martial artists. No matter the reason, aiding evil will always be punished."

"I remember."

Zhang Lin's legs were weak, and he almost fell again when Lu Li let go.

"Okay, call the police and an ambulance. I think he can still be saved."

After instructing Zhang Lin, Lu Li walked to the side and started making calls.

This matter wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. The key was to have someone take responsibility, and the Xue family was the best choice.

When Xue Weimin received Lu Li's call, he had just arrived home.

After a busy day, he was exhausted and just wanted to take a shower and sleep.

After listening to Lu Li's account, Xue Weimin was shocked, and his sleepiness and fatigue vanished. He hung up the phone and immediately took action, first reporting Lu Li's situation to the clan leader Xue Renzhi. After receiving the clan leader's orders, he personally drove to the scene, anxious and hurried.

When he arrived at the scene, Lu Li had already been taken away by the police, and only the bloodstains that hadn't been covered up remained.

This was a major shock, and Xue Weimin didn't hesitate, turning to head to the city police station.

At the same time, the news of Xia Ming's death had spread throughout the upper circles of Haicheng, causing a stir.
