Chapter 343 - Da Long
The other party’s words caught Li Huowang completely off guard. He stared at the fatty with the big, gold chain in disbelief. “Keeping an eye on me? What for?”
Looking fearfully at the blood-stained piece of broken glass, the fatty stammered, “I... I don’t know. My distant cousin just asked me to keep an eye on you. He said that he’d pay me 2,500 a month. I thought it was crazy to watch a lunatic. But with 2,500 a month, and no boss to bother me, and the fact that I could play games, it was better than working in an electronics factory. So, I took up his offer.”
Li Huowang reached out to pull the gold chain, but felt that something was wrong. The gold felt much heavier in his hands than it should, and was likely fake. As he thought about it, he suddenly felt that the fatty was probably telling the truth, and he was just sent here to keep an eye on him.
The fatty had an ingratiating smile on his face as he spoke, “I bought this thing from a stall for 30 bucks. I don’t have money required to buy a real gold chain. That bastard Wang Zhilong hasn’t paid me for two months.”
Hearing this, Li Huowang’s gaze suddenly became vacant.
What has been happening in this hallucination? Who is the person that sent people to keep an eye on me?
However, as his thoughts reached this point, Li Huowang’s breathing quickened as he forcefully shook his head.
No! All this doesn’t matter since it’s just a hallucination. There’s no logic here, and I don’t need to care or understand what happens here.
“Li Sui!” Li Huowang turned around and shouted toward his surroundings, “Li Sui! Have you had enough fun? If you still recognize me as your daddy, then come back now!”
Since he had already given up on it, there was nothing left to care about. He did not want to continue staying in this hallucination. He still had many matters left to deal with on the other side!
Meanwhile, when the bound fatty saw Li Huowang’s bizarre actions, he was so frightened that he was about to wet his pants. After observing him for such a long period of time, he knew that this person was not just faking it. This person was a genuine lunatic. Moreover, from what he knew, this madman had even chopped at someone before.
The fatty struggled as he tried to retreat backward while shouting, “That’s none of my business! I’m just doing my work! It was that kid Da Long who asked me to inform him immediately if you created any objects to appear out of the blue! If you are looking for trouble, then go look for him instead!”
As he heard this, Li Huowang’s eyes shrank. He turned to look at him. “What did you say?!”
Li Huowang quickly walked across and picked him up from the ground, then stared at his fat face and asked, “What’s going on? Who is this Da Long? Why does he know that I can create things out of the blue?” contemporary romance
Everything that had just been extremely absurd until just a moment ago now started to have some logic in it. At the same time, this inexplicable logic made him start to feel a little nervous.
“I only know so much. His contact is on my phone. You can call him, and I’ll lure him over for you!” said the fatty.
Hearing this, Li Huowang took out the fatty’s phone and unlocked it via face verification. Then, he opened the contact list, and dialed the person named Da Long.
“Hey~ Brother Long! Come quickly! The lunatic has conjured something out of thin air, just like magic! Yes, yes! There’s gold too!” The fatty spoke to the person on the phone, his voice filled with conviction. Then, he looked toward Li Huowang with an ingratiating expression.
“Bro, he said that he would arrive in just a moment. I’ve already helped you trick him over, so can you let me go now?” asked the fatty.
Li Huowang tossed the fatty’s phone into the fast-flowing river, and then took off his socks, rolled them into a ball, and stuffed them into his mouth.
The so-called Da Long was not far away, as Li Huowang soon heard the screeching brakes from the outside.
When three men rushed under the bridge and saw the fatty tied up , the man with a crew cut and muscular face revealed a look of surprise. After they rushed over and released him, Wang Zhilong grabbed him and asked, “Where’s Li Huowang?”
However, before the fatty could answer, a dark shadow emerged from the river beside them. The shadow held a cobblestone and smashed it directly onto the man’s head.
The man hastily dodged, but the stone still managed to hit his collarbone, causing the area to visibly swell up.
That was just the beginning. These people were completely unprepared when they were faced with Li Huowang’s sudden ambush. The four-against-one situation unexpectedly resulted in their retreat.
“Damn it! I’ll fight you!” A short man steeled his heart, and then pulled out a dagger as he stabbed Li Huowang in the arm. However, he became a little flustered after hitting his target and subconsciously released the dagger while taking a step back.
The next moment, Li Huowang grabbed the handle of the dagger and pulled it out. Then, without hesitation, he stabbed it into the man’s arm. Miserable cries soon rang out from the area under the bridge.
With lightning speed, Li Huowang pulled out the dagger and stabbed it onto another person’s thigh.
As he saw this horrifying scene, Wang Zhilong obviously started panicking. He hadn’t expected the other party to be so terrifying. At this point, he wanted to run. However, faced with the armed Li Huowang, it was too late. A kick on the back caused him to fall and taste mud.
Soon, the four men were tied up like pigs waiting to be slaughtered. Their limbs were bound by their own shoelaces and belts, as they lay on the ground.
Then, Li Huowang dragged Wang Zhilong by the hair and brought him to the riverbank before pressing him directly into the muddy water. He held him down until the man started struggling violently, and then lifted him up forcefully. This went on for a few times until Wang Zhilong was gasping for air.
Finally, Li Huowang lifted him up again and asked, “How do you know that I can conjure up things?”
Wang Zhilong was somewhat dazed, and he spoke weakly and intermittently, “I... I overheard it.”
“And what else did you do?” Li Huowang released his hand, causing Wang Zhilong’s face to be a few centimeters away from the water.
The fear of suffocation caused the man to start speaking rapidly while sputtering, “I heard that you have a special ability to conjure gold out of thin air! And so, I had some bad ideas to find some connections and use them to sneak you out of the hospital so that I could use you to conjure some gold for myself!”
They didn’t abandon me?
A strong surge of happiness flushed Li Huowang’s heart.
They didn’t abandon me!
He had always told himself that he didn’t care. But only after hearing how this person had sneaked him out of the hospital did Li Huowang realize just how much he cared.
Meanwhile, Wang Zhilong saw Li Huowang’s emotions stabilize, and hastily pleaded, “Please spare me! I had a wrong idea and thought of this crooked path! I am wrong, I am wrong!”
Hearing his pleas, Li Huowang looked down at him, the intense emotions in his heart quickly vanishing. At the same time, a strong sense of doubt started growing.
“You’re lying! If you wanted to control me to conjure gold, then why didn’t you kidnap me? Instead, you left me out in the open so casually. This is fake! It’s a hallucination!” shouted Li Huowang.
Wang Zhilong wailed in despair, “I wanted to capture you, but the problem was that I couldn’t tie you up! The rope was clearly bound on your hands, yet it loosened the next moment. The door was clearly shut, yet you managed to appear outside! If you hadn’t shown this special ability, then I would have just thought that you were some ordinary lunatic and would have given up long ago!”
