178: Chapter 177 Superpower User 178: Chapter 177 Superpower User “Since we can’t find Wan Qiliang and Captain Zhao, why don’t we notify the higher authorities and ask them to increase their efforts?” Liu Hun suggested to Wang Shiyou.

Wang Shiyou shook his head with difficulty and said, “Well…

the higher-ups have other considerations.

Don’t ask too many questions.

We’ve called you here to help make a record of what you know and see if you can provide any clues.”

Liu Hun, looking at Wang Shiyou’s bureaucratic demeanor, felt annoyed.

He guessed that Li Tianyang must be suppressing it.

This matter was originally meant for Li Tianyang to garner political achievements, but now not only was the main suspect missing, even the police department’s criminal investigation captain had vanished.

Clearly, Li Tianyang couldn’t afford to lose face, nor could he afford to lose this political achievement.

Cooperating with the police, Liu Hun said everything he knew and could say, but still, no valuable clues were found.

Leaving the police station with a frown, he truly didn’t know where to start looking for Zhao Mingjie.

Could it really be that Zhao Mingjie would just keep disappearing?

The longer the delay, the greater the possibility that she would come to harm.

“Liu Hun!”

A familiar voice rang out not far away.

Liu Hun turned his head and, to his surprise, it was Chen Qiuya!

Chen Qiuya, her expression frantic, pulled Liu Hun aside and said, breathlessly, “Liu Hun, I went to Wanbao Village and heard you were brought to the county police department, so I rushed over.”

“Is something wrong?

Why such a hurry?” Liu Hun asked Chen Qiuya.

Since the last seminar at the county hospital, it had indeed been a while since he had seen her.

Chen Qiuya carefully took out a note from her bag and handed it to Liu Hun, “Take a look at this!

I found it in the door slit at Mingjie’s home.

I’ve been to her house every day since she disappeared, and I hadn’t seen this note until early this morning.”

Liu Hun read the words on the note: Notify Liu Hun, bring two million in cash, exchange for Zhao Mingjie at 7 p.m.

at the abandoned car repair factory in the eastern suburbs of Yuhua City.

“Liu Hun, should we inform Director Wang and the others?” Chen Qiuya asked Liu Hun, visibly worried and anxious.

“There’s no need.

I’ll go by myself,” Liu Hun said, shaking his head.

“You go back and wait for news, and don’t tell anyone about this.”

Chen Qiuya hesitated before ultimately deciding to follow Liu Hun’s words.

Meanwhile, Liu Hun hailed a taxi and headed straight for the eastern suburbs of Yuhua City.

Inside, Liu Hun speculated that these people were probably not after Zhao Mingjie at all, but rather, she was just bait, and they were angling for him!

Three hours later, at exactly seven, Liu Hun was punctually standing outside the abandoned car repair factory in the eastern suburbs of Yuhua City, holding a black leather case.

Standing outside the repair factory, he took a good look around and finally understood why the other party had chosen such a place for the meeting.

It was all hastily demolished wasteland around, with only this car repair factory standing isolated in the area.

If he brought people or the police, they would surely be spotted.

These guys didn’t seem so stupid, considered Liu Hun as he carried the case into the factory.

The derelict repair factory was quite large, cluttered with various objects, especially old metal hanging precariously from the ceiling, which felt as though it might fall at any moment.

Liu Hun scanned the surroundings, set the case down at his feet, and said, “I’m here!

Wan Qiliang, come out!”

“Clap clap clap…” A round of applause echoed as Wan Qiliang slowly emerged from behind a pile of scrap iron, a fierce smile on his face, and said to Liu Hun, “Yo!

Quite daring!

I didn’t expect you’d really dare to come alone!”

“Cut the crap!

I’ve brought the money, where’s Zhao Mingjie?” Liu Hun asked Wan Qiliang, truly worried that something might have happened to Zhao Mingjie.

Wan Qiliang motioned towards a pile of scrap metal, and two burly men pushed out Zhao Mingjie, who was bound tightly like a zongzi.

“Captain Zhao, are you alright?” Liu Hun asked, looking at Zhao Mingjie being pushed out.

“Mmm mmm mmm!” Zhao Mingjie, her mouth stuffed, couldn’t speak, only fearfully staring at Liu Hun, shaking her head.

“Now that we’ve seen each other, where’s my money?” Wan Qiliang asked Liu Hun with a laugh.

Liu Hun picked up the case, supported it with one hand, and opened it with the other, revealing shining bundles of hundred-yuan bills inside.

“Ha ha ha ha!

Very good, very good!

Liu Hun, oh Liu Hun, I didn’t expect that a mere farmer like you could really come up with two million!

You must have spent quite a few nights with Hu Qingdie to get this, huh?

Hand the money over to me!” Wan Qiliang motioned towards Liu Hun, saying fiercely.

“Release her!” Liu Hun replied coldly to Wan Qiliang, not wanting to waste time bickering.

His top priority was the safety of Zhao Mingjie.

“Push this woman over!” Wan Qiliang ordered a burly man beside him.

The man pushed the bound Zhao Mingjie step by step towards Liu Hun.

And Liu Hun, carrying the case, also stepped towards Zhao Mingjie.

“Mmm…

Mmm…” As Zhao Mingjie was pushed closer to Liu Hun, she desperately tried to speak and shook her head vigorously.

Liu Hun kept musing, what was Zhao Mingjie trying to say?

Was Wan Qiliang up to some trick?

Liu Hun, with caution, finally reached Zhao Mingjie.

He handed the case to the burly man, who took it and immediately turned to leave.

Liu Hun removed the cloth stuffed in Zhao Mingjie’s mouth, only to hear her exclaiming in alarm, “Run!”

“Boom!” A loud noise—the auto repair shop’s iron gate slammed shut.

Before Liu Hun could even think about what was happening, he heard Wan Qiliang say, “Now that you’re here, don’t even think about leaving!

This place has good feng shui, fitting for a grave.

Enjoy!”

Right after Wan Qiliang finished speaking, Liu Hun felt a “slash,” and a dagger was plunged into his waist from behind.

He whipped his head around…

No one there!

He looked down—dagger bloodied and pain excruciating.

This was no illusion!

“They…

they have a very strange person!

You can’t see them!

Run now!” Zhao Mingjie cried out to Liu Hun in a panic, her whole being exuding fear.

She was too scared, utterly terrified.

Since the day she was subdued at home and brought here, the idea of someone being able to turn invisible seemed too incredible to believe!

Invisible?

An invisible superpower user!

Liu Hun instantly made a judgment in his mind—if this wasn’t the bewitching woman from before, then it must be the second superpower user he had encountered!

No, wait!

Why could he see the bewitching woman, but not this invisible superpower user?

Countless thoughts flew through Liu Hun’s mind, and he instantly made a gamble!

“Shick!” With a sound, Liu Hun forcibly pulled out the dagger, then swiftly cut all the ropes binding Zhao Mingjie.

It dawned on him that Wan Qiliang pushing the bound Mingjie toward him was to burden him and slow his actions.

His judgment was spot-on, for as he cut Mingjie free, two piercing gunshots rang out.

“Bang!

Bang!” Intense pain gripped Liu Hun’s legs, almost bringing him to his knees if not for Mingjie’s support.

“How bad is it?!

Does it hurt?

I told you to run!

To leave!” Zhao Mingjie cried out as she held Liu Hun, her mind blank with the fear of the unknown and death.

“Hahaha…” Wan Qiliang laughed maniacally while clutching his stomach, slowly advancing towards Liu Hun.

“You think you’re so capable?

You got the guts?

Come at me!

Call the police to catch me!

Oh, I forgot!

The useless police captain from the public security bureau has been captured by me!

Hahaha…” Wan Qiliang burst into another round of wild laughter.

Zhao Mingjie’s spirit was completely shattered at this point.

She was too scared, dreading the unseen person around her that could torment or even take her life at any moment.

Pretending to be weak, Liu Hun leaned on Zhao Mingjie, with one hand supporting her and the other firmly grasping the dagger hidden between their bodies.

He eyed Wan Qiliang and the two large men carefully, confirming that they were unarmed.

“You dare to flaunt in front of me!

Show your capability!

Why so quiet now?

Thought you could act?

Come on, play the buyer for us!

Now, act like my grandson.

If you’re convincing, I might let you go.

Perform!

Hahaha…” Wan Qiliang’s arrogance knew no limits as he laughed hysterically, seemingly convulsing with glee.

After his fit, Wan Qiliang straightened up and told Liu Hun, “Grandson!

Dance a dance for grandpa!

My grandson loves this one song, I’ll sing it for you, and you dance for grandpa.

If you dance well, you’re free to go!

If you don’t, I won’t just cripple your legs; I’ll take your arms too!”

Liu Hun clearly understood this was Wan Qiliang’s way of humiliating him.

Shot in the legs, he couldn’t possibly walk, let alone dance.

Wan Qiliang relished this torment; to Liu Hun’s disbelief, he actually began to hum, “Come on!

Get moving!

Follow my left hand, right hand, a slow motion~ right hand, left hand, a slow motion replay…”

Liu Hun ignored Wan Qiliang and seized the rare opportunity, his lips curling into a sinister smirk.

Qi gathering in his eyes!

Clairvoyance, activate!

One meter away, a male around 1.8 meters tall, holding a gun in his left hand, with dyed blond hair—the invisible superpower user!

The gamble paid off!

Just as he had surmised!

Liu Hun felt the heavy burden in his heart lift!

Previously, he had deduced that the bewitching woman possessed more than one superpower, which is why her invisibility wasn’t perfected, or maybe it was learned or even stolen from someone else.

For this reason, he didn’t need clairvoyance to see her.

But this blond, likely possessing only this one superpower, would require clairvoyance to be seen!

With only seconds of clairvoyant vision available, Liu Hun knew he had to ensure a lethal strike!

And for that, he needed to make sure the blond’s location didn’t deviate too much—thus, he had to draw attention!
