Chapter 781: Chapter 729: Bringing Down

Half an hour later, the worker was taken away by Chen Wen, and in Liu Hun’s office, Xiao Wu, Xiao Qi, and Xu Shimin sat with somewhat solemn expressions on their faces.

“Boss, how do you plan to solve this matter?” Xu Shimin couldn’t help but ask as he looked at Liu Hun, who sat in deep contemplation on his chair.

Half an hour ago, they had already interrogated the worker. From the moment Liu Hun had laid eyes on him, he knew this matter wasn’t as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Indeed, through interrogation, Liu Hun learned that, ten days ago, a middle-aged man had come to him, offering him five million to add a certain medicinal herb into the mix; this had led to the current issue with the Beauty Pill.

After Xiao Qi’s investigation, they discovered that the middle-aged man was actually the second uncle of Chu Mengyao from Huaihai Province!

This result caught Liu Hun off guard; when Chu Mengyao left last time, she didn’t say a word, and Liu Hun knew she didn’t want to implicate him.

Originally, Liu Hun planned to visit the Shen Family in three months, but now the actions of the Shen Family had angered Liu Hun.

“Xiao Wu, get ready. We’ll head to Huaihai Province first thing tomorrow,” Liu Hun said after a moment of contemplation, finally raising his head to instruct Xiao Wu.

“Boss, let me come with you,” Xu Shimin urged, seeing that Liu Hun had not intended to take him along.

“The crisis in the company has just passed, but it’s also the most vulnerable time. If any trouble arises again, it will completely collapse. I can rest assured with you in charge of Southeast Province. I will call Wang Xiaofei back later to assist you,” Liu Hun patted Xu Shimin on the shoulder.

During this period, Liu Hun had always had Wang Xiaofei stay at Zhang Fan’s villa to look after Liu Qingqing and her daughter, fearing that Liu Qingqing might act rashly after the last hotel incident.

Fortunately, nothing had happened to Liu Qingqing and her mother in the past half month, and with the company now needing manpower, Liu Hun had no choice but to call Wang Xiaofei back temporarily.

This day was the most hectic one for Liu Hun since his rebirth. He personally treated each of the remaining forty-nine victims at a great expense of his energy.

After a whole day, Liu Hun’s face was devoid of color, even Xu Shimin and Xiao Wu were worried for him.

“I’ll rest for a bit; no one disturb me,” Liu Hun instructed Xu Shimin after healing the last victim.

He entered the bedroom next to the conference room and sat cross-legged on the bed, quietly operating the Divine Doctor Technique.

“Hmm? This… another breakthrough?” Liu Hun meant to cultivate the Divine Doctor Technique to recover his body’s energy, but as the technique circulated, he suddenly realized that he was on the brink of breakthrough.

With that in mind, a flash of joy crossed Liu Hun’s eyes, without hesitation, he concentrated and immersed himself in cultivation.

The sparse spiritual energy in the air slowly seeped into his body, circulating through his seven meridians for seven cycles before finally returning to the Dantian.

As his power accumulated bit by bit, Liu Hun’s entire aura underwent a dramatic transformation.

If before Liu Hun seemed to be sharp and exposed, now he was entirely subdued.

In the middle of the night, Liu Hun suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of brightness disappearing as quickly as it had come.

“I never thought that in my past life, it took me so long to enhance my strength to the Third Layer; now, after rebirth, I’ve reached it in merely a month, fate really does play tricks on us,” Liu Hun said somewhat sentimentally.

Unbeknownst to him at this moment, if it were not for his strength just reaching the Third Layer of the Divine Doctor Technique, this trip to Huaihai would have been a one-way journey.

The next morning, Liu Hun stepped out of his room to find Xiao Wu waiting respectfully at the door.

“Brother Fei, your strength… it has improved again?” Xiao Wu couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise upon seeing Liu Hun, now radiating an inward glow, appearing like an ordinary person.

Having spent time with Liu Hun, Xiao Wu gradually realized that their Zero wasn’t as mysterious and serious as they had previously imagined, so he didn’t overthink it and asked in astonishment.

“Let’s go,” Liu Hun gave Xiao Wu a nod and then instructed him.

Although without Liu Hun there would be no Zero Mercenary Group today, as a top-ranking international Mercenary Group, they naturally would not be content under the control of an ordinary person.

From the moment Number One received Liu Hun’s call, he had been somewhat discontent, which is why he had casually sent Xiao Wu and the other two over.

Although the three of them were quite skilled, in the Zero Mercenary Group, they were not considered core members.

Of this, Xiao Wu and the others were unaware. Seeing Liu Hun’s rapidly increasing strength, Xiao Wu began to realize that Zero was always Zero.

Huaihai Province was near Southeast Province, a mere five to six hundred kilometers away, so Liu Hun did not plan to take a plane this time but chose to drive instead.

…

Halfway through their drive, they saw two small cars parked by the side of the highway, one of which was a white Chevrolet with a flat tire, clearly the result of a blowout.

At first, Liu Hun and Xiao Wu didn’t pay much attention, but as they got closer, Liu Hun suddenly caught a glimpse of a startling face plastered on the Chevrolet’s window. Liu Hun froze for a moment before directly instructing Xiao Wu, “Stop the car.”

Though somewhat perplexed, Xiao Wu didn’t ask further questions and pulled over to the side of the highway; once they got out, a middle-aged man stood next to the Chevrolet, slowly stepping forward with a smile and asked Liu Hun and Xiao Wu, “Do you two need something?”

Observing the middle-aged man’s smile, Liu Hun coolly asked, “Release her, and I can spare your lives.”

“Young man, judging by your license plate, you’re from the Southeast Province, but this here is Huaihai Province’s territory. It’s best not to meddle in other people’s business, and besides, we’re just fixing a tire here, which doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you, right?” The man’s face grew cold as soon as he heard Liu Hun’s words.

“Kill them, and make sure it’s clean,” Liu Hun directly ordered Xiao Wu.

“Brother Fei, this…” Once Liu Hun gave his command, Xiao Wu hesitated.

This was Huaxia, and they were about to kill someone openly. If they were discovered, the trouble would be enormous.

“This is an order!” Liu Hun glanced at Xiao Wu, his eyes flashing with a chilling coldness.

Feeling the frosty stare from Liu Hun, Xiao Wu shivered and suddenly fully remembered that Liu Hun was none other than Zero of the Zero Mercenary Group!

“Yes, Brother Fei,” Xiao Wu replied, head bowed, a hint of panic in his voice.

“Ha ha ha, do you think this is a movie set? Killing people at the drop of a hat; what, are you assassins or something?” Several middle-aged men laughed uproariously upon hearing Liu Hun’s words.

“Congratulations, you guessed right; I am indeed an assassin,” Xiao Wu approached them, a sinister smile on his lips as he flipped his hands, revealing two Mitsubishi Military Knives in an instant.

“Ptui…” Several faint noises sounded as the men were caught off guard, and their necks were swiftly slashed open.

“You… you…” The men clutched desperately at their necks, their faces twisted in horror as they stared at Xiao Wu and Liu Hun.

They could never have imagined that these two would actually kill as they claimed, under the clear light of day.

But by the time they realized, it was too late; after Xiao Wu killed these men, he quickly dragged out a few more from inside the car and dispatched them as well, then took out a vial of liquid and dribbled it over the corpses. In the blink of an eye, the bodies were corroded completely, leaving no trace of blood.

Liu Hun walked up to the Chevrolet and glanced at a skull-shaped dent near the door; his memories drifted far back.

The dent was from his fierce slam in a past life, one the car’s owner never bothered to fix, instead turning it into this rather unique skull mark—a distinctive signature belonging to her, who also bore the same skull emblem on her chest.

“Are you all right?” Liu Hun opened the door and looked at the woman inside, whose clothes were torn, complicated emotions flashing in his eyes.

The woman wore high heels and a tight skirt topped with a white blouse—a typical powerful businesswoman attire, her figure stunning to describe, though her delicate face was marked by two trails of tears, arousing pity.

Hearing Liu Hun’s voice, Yang Yi quickly wiped her tears and emotionlessly turned her head to nod at him, “I’m fine, thank you.”

After saying this, seeing Liu Hun’s eyes still fixed on her chest, Liu Mei’s brows furrowed slightly, and she covered the torn part of her shirt with her hands, her voice growing colder, “Do you need something else?”

“I just find the skull tattoo on your chest strange; it’s identical to the one on your car door, which is an unusual choice for most girls,” Liu Hun said with a slight smile, his eyes free of any disrespect.

Sensing the clarity in Liu Hun’s gaze, Yang Yi’s expression softened a bit, though she still spoke icily, “That’s none of your business. What happened to those men?”

“They’re dead,” replied Liu Hun, his lips curling slightly as he looked at Yang Yi’s exquisite face and chuckled; he also reached to offer his jacket to her.

Seeing this, Yang Yi hesitated but eventually took Liu Hun’s jacket and draped it over her shoulders.

Stepping out of the car, Yang Yi saw the desolate surroundings and furrowed her brows even further. Liu Hun appeared to be just an ordinary person; there was no way he could have killed anyone.

But Yang Yi didn’t ask further, saying, “Thank you for saving me. Name your price.”

“This woman really doesn’t know how to appreciate favors…” Xiao Wu expressed his displeasure toward Yang Yi’s aloofness.

“You’re heading to Huaihai Province, right? It so happens I have something to do there. If you want to repay my lifesaving grace, just help me out once we’re in Huaihai Province,” Liu Hun said with a smile, not taking Xiao Wu’s comment to heart. If there was anyone in the world who understood Yang Yi best, it would undoubtedly be him, Liu Hun.

“What do you need me to help you with?” Yang Yi asked, her eyes narrowing slightly, a flicker of sharpness within them.

“Take down the Shen Family!” replied Liu Hun.
