Under the cover of military-grade privacy film, Chen Xiao saw the mysterious man lunging like a ravenous tiger. He tightened his grip on the silver needle between his index and middle fingers.
The moment the car door opened, he struck first, unleashing his fully charged Great Dream Vajra Divine Skill and shooting out like lightning.
"Swish—"
Accompanied by a piercing shriek that tore through the air, the flying needle not only instantly pierced the mysterious man's brow but the surging, terrifying energy also ripped apart the green-faced, fanged ghost king mask.
"You..."
The mysterious man never even saw Chen Xiao's face, and before he could utter a word, he fell straight backward onto the ground, instantly killed in one blow!
"Phew!"
Chen Xiao's heart, which had been in his throat, finally settled a little. He then quickly got out of the car to retrieve the military knife from the pool of blood.
The mysterious man's marksmanship was formidable, and he possessed martial arts dark energy. The two bullets, imbued with this dark energy, had a penetration power comparable to the finest sniper rifles.
Fortunately, the military knife had worn a bulletproof vest, and the bullets had shifted slightly upon impact, missing his heart directly. Otherwise, he would have likely died on the spot.
Even so, his injuries were not to be underestimated. The shattered shrapnel was too deadly. Chen Xiao had to use nine needles of the "Life-Creating Needle," renowned for its ability to "resurrect the dead, mend broken bones, steal yin and yang, and seize creation," just to barely pull him back from the brink of death.
"Doctor Chen?"
Jun Dao slowly opened his eyes and saw Chen Xiao squatting beside him. It felt like a lifetime ago, and he said in disbelief, "What about those terrorists?"
"Dead."
Chen Xiao was more concerned about who had ordered the terrorists to ambush him. He casually glanced at the mysteriously dead man by the second-hand van, then helped Jun Dao into the car, saying with a serious expression, "Brother Jun Dao, can you find out who sent these people?"
As Jun Dao got into the car, he noticed the fatal bloody wound on the mysterious man's brow, like a vermilion beauty mark, and saw that the mysterious man's face was severely disfigured, his facial bones completely shattered and collapsed. He guessed that the mysterious man had suffered a terrifying blow from Chen Xiao before dying. Both shocked and alarmed, he nodded subserviently, "Doctor Chen, rest assured, even if you don't say anything, the Dragon King won't stand by and do nothing."
As he spoke, he endured the pain and quickly took out his phone to make a call.
Although there were no survivors at the scene, such a significant temporary closure of the ring road did not require eyewitness testimony. It was incredibly easy for the power represented by the Northern Border Army, led by Long Aotian, to investigate the matter.
Jun Dao made only three calls in total, and the mastermind was completely revealed—
Ye Yinhuan!
Chen Xiao's knuckles turned white on the steering wheel, and he said hatefully, "First, she had Gou Shunquan frame me, then she sent people to ambush me. Ye Yinhuan, Ye Yinhuan, your mother, you've gone too far!"
Jun Dao noticed Chen Xiao's anger and became inexplicably nervous. He cautiously asked, "Doctor Chen, Ye Yinhuan's actions constitute a crime. Does she need to be arrested immediately?" *Hiss—*
Although the Life-Creating Needles had temporarily saved his life, the shrapnel fragments inside his body tormented him constantly. As soon as he spoke, he couldn't help but gasp in pain.
Chen Xiao felt a pang of sympathy. Suppressing his anger, he shook his head slightly, "Your injuries are very serious. Conservatively, there are at least a hundred shrapnel fragments shattered by dark energy near your heart. The priority now is treatment. Let's go to the Dragon King's residence first."
With that, he slammed the accelerator to the floor, and the second-hand van roared towards Swan Lake Residential Area.
...
After Chen Xiao's acupuncture, Long Aotian had already woken up last night and could barely walk out of bed this morning.
Supported by his grandson, Long Xiaolin, who had recently returned from studying abroad, he was now basking in the sun and stretching his limbs in the lush green courtyard.
Long Xiaolin, dressed in a suit, noticed his grandfather seemed to be in good spirits and said casually, "Grandpa, I heard that Bullet has returned to the Northern Border Army due to malicious online revelations? Hmph! That Doctor Chen's medical skills are indeed commendable, but his actions are too reckless..."
Long Aotian frowned slightly, his imposing aura silencing Long Xiaolin with just a glance.
However, Long Xiaolin was clearly unwilling to remain silent. After a pause, he said indignantly, "He first exposed Bullet's identity, putting your safety in mortal danger, then he acted like a tiger borrowing its stripes, using your power to detain Ye Qingtian. And just now, he even fired five doctors and nurses from the Central Hospital. He's simply acting with impunity and is insatiably greedy! Associating with someone like him will eventually ruin your lifelong reputation..."
"Silence!"
Long Aotian spoke, interrupting Long Xiaolin again, his frown deepening. "Doctor Chen is my savior. It is only right that I help him."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly received a report call about Chen Xiao and Jun Dao being attacked on the ring road.
Long Xiaolin's heart leaped with joy, and he deliberately feigned even greater indignation, complaining, "Grandpa, Jun Dao is already injured because of that guy named Chen, and you still want to favor him?"
