Chapter 403: Chapter 378: Not Him?

The bystanders watched Li Chen’s exaggerated performance as he kicked the steel rods into the air, which then fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Clang clang clang"

The steel rods hit the ground crisply, and Li Chen also landed, but the flying steel rods were not done yet; there were many more. Standing still, Li Chen, with True Qi in his hands, struck down all the incoming steel rods!

Watching Li Chen’s exaggerated performance, Yi Mu’s eyes flickered slightly from the back, his thoughts unknown, while the rest of the students were shocked beyond measure.

However, not all the steel rods were flying towards them; some affected other areas. Although there were only one or two rods, their force was the same.

One of them was heading straight for a pedestrian who was frozen in place!

The man jumped in fright. Seeing the steel rod flying towards him, he was terrified, his eyes widening as if he could see himself being pierced by the rod.

On Li Chen’s side, his gaze clearly noticed that rod. He slapped a rod in his hand, directing it to change course, then with another slap, he sent it hurtling towards the flying rod!

Just as the rod was about to strike the pedestrian, Li Chen’s redirected rod intercepted it mid-way, crashing into it fiercely, and then both rods fell to the ground, emitting a crisp sound.

This action frightened the spectators.

Was this strength not too terrifying?

The pedestrian looked bewilderedly at the two rods scattered on the ground, then at Li Chen, who was facing a dense swarm of rods, his heart clearly shocked into stupefaction.

The students behind him also came to their senses, staring dumbfounded at Li Chen’s terrifying performance.

This, this, this man is a martial arts master?

Manman’s eyes shone brightly, reminiscent of Li Chen’s striking performance at the Arcade last time.

Lin Xiaoxiao’s face was filled with excitement, while Li Chen remained completely calm; to him, these steel rods were just a minor annoyance.

Li Chen’s feet and side were now covered with steel rods, but at that moment, the incoming rods ceased. With one kick, Li Chen sent the last rod spinning upwards before it fell to the ground.

With that rod finished, the crisis was finally resolved.

The people around looked at Li Chen as if they hadn’t come to terms yet, but suddenly, someone led by calling out a good word, then a burst of applause erupted!

The applause included bystanders, students just out of school, and Lin Xiaoxiao’s classmates behind.

If it hadn’t been for Li Chen, who knows what would have happened? It could be said, Li Chen had saved everyone’s lives.

At the same time, the truck driver also got down from his vehicle, running over in a panic. Seeing that no one was injured, he breathed a sigh of relief.

A student approached and spoke with him; the driver hurriedly apologized, he hadn’t expected this to happen, as he was only transporting the cargo to a construction site in town, but then this unexpected event had occurred.

Of course, this was now irrelevant to Li Chen.

Li Chen turned around, the students all staring at him with eyes shining.

"You’re amazing, if it weren’t for you, we would probably have been finished," Yi Mu also came over, his face bearing that scared yet relieved expression.

"Such accidents are unexpected," Li Chen said indifferently.

"Hmm, but if it weren’t for you, we all would have died in that accident," Yi Mu said.

Afterwards, Yi Mu handed over a bottle of water, "You were tired for so long just now, have a bottle of water first."

Li Chen looked at the bottle of water, said nothing, and directly took it, but suddenly, he grabbed Yi Mu’s right hand, and with a flick, twisted it around.

His gaze swept over Yi Mu’s right hand, and he couldn’t help but be stunned inside, nothing?

Yes, there was nothing on Yi Mu’s right hand, absolutely no scars like the ones he had left on the masked man’s hand last night!

Last night, during their fight, he had fiercely scratched him with his claw. If Yi Mu was that masked man, there would definitely be claw marks on his right hand, which was the evidence Li Chen was using to make judgments, but unexpectedly, Yi Mu’s right hand was unscathed!

This completely overturned Li Chen’s reasoning; Yi Mu was not the problem, and the killer was someone else.

"What’s wrong?" Yi Mu looked at Li Chen with a puzzled expression.

"It’s nothing," Li Chen said with a slight smile, "I just realized your hand looks quite nice."

"Haha, really? I guess I’ve taken good care of my hands," Yi Mu said with a friendly laugh.

Li Chen opened the bottle cap and took a sip of water, while Yi Mu went back to look after the students. After that incident, he was worried about whether they still wanted to go on the excursion. After checking everyone’s opinion, they finally decided to continue with the outing, since everything was already purchased, and it would be a waste not to go.

Lin Xiaoxiao came over, originally wanting to drag Li Chen along, but Li Chen shook his head: "Xiaoxiao, I’d rather not go."

Lin Xiaoxiao was taken aback, "Brother-in-law, didn’t you say earlier that you would go?"

Li Chen glanced at Yi Mu, smiled slightly, "I came here this time mainly to verify something, and now that I have the answer, what’s the point of going? I’d rather go back and sleep comfortably."

Lin Xiaoxiao pouted, and Li Chen smiled slightly: "Xiaoxiao, have fun, remember to take lots of photos, and show them to me when you get back."

Seeing Li Chen insist, and since Manman and the others were calling out, Lin Xiaoxiao could only give up, "Alright then, see you tonight."

"Yeah, see you tonight," Li Chen said with a slight smile.

Watching Lin Xiaoxiao get on the bus and leave, Li Chen also headed back home, but on the way, he still pondered, was he being too suspicious?

Before, Li Chen had always suspected Yi Mu, because his instincts for so many years had never failed him, and since encountering that psychopathic killer last night, Li Chen’s mind had also been constantly pondering who the other party might be, but after much thought, he could only pinpoint Yi Mu!

That psychopathic killer recognized him, and even seemed shocked, expressing hatred and anger towards him through his words. The more he thought, the more it seemed similar to his intuition about Yi Mu; it appeared Yi Mu was concealing a hatred towards him.

However, after seeing Yi Mu’s right hand today, all his theories and speculations could be dismissed. The fact that Yi Mu’s hand was uninjured was the best evidence; he was not the masked man.

"It seems I’ve been a bit overworked lately, even reaching the point of suspecting everything," Li Chen muttered to himself with a hint of self-mockery.

But it’s good that it’s not Yi Mu, at least Li Chen wouldn’t have to worry about Lin Xiaoxiao’s safety anymore.

And with Lin Xiaoxiao out on a trip today and Lin Yi at home, wasn’t this the perfect chance for him to have various forms of fun?

Thinking this, Li Chen felt a bit excited.

Beautiful wife, here I come!
