Chapter 14 Goodbye in the Jianghu
Suddenly, a mobile phone notification sounded on both of them.
When I turned on my phone, I saw an urgent news:
"Wanted criminal: Wu Xiaode."
"Suspected of arson, murder, robbery and other crimes, he is still running around the city and killed three ordinary citizens again tonight."
"This person is extremely cruel. Anyone who finds his traces should report it immediately. There will be rewards!"
"I see, he wants to catch me and force you to submit." Wu Xiaode looked at the message on his phone and said.
I saw another message pop up on his mobile phone:
"I can only ensure that your phone will not be tracked and ask Xia Huilan to throw it away."
"——Zhao Junyu."
Wu Xiaode showed the information to Xia Huilan, and Xia Huilan smiled and said: "It's okay, I have my own way to block tracking."
Yes, she is such a great technical expert, how could she not pay attention to this?
Wu Xiaode pondered for a moment and said: "Let's leave quickly before they think they have caught you."
"Where to go?" Xia Huilan asked.
"Find you a hotel to rest. I'll go out to do some errands. I'll pick you up before dawn and we'll go to the countryside." Wu Xiaode said.
Xia Huilan's eyes lit up and she said uncertainly: "Xiao Wu, do you want to come with me?"
Wu Xiaode grinned and said: "Farewell to some friends and get some supplies to facilitate our escape."
"Okay, let's go." Xia Huilan seemed to have some energy and said seriously.
Xiao Wu is very powerful.
I also left a lot of technical backhand to confuse the enemy.
As long as Xiao Wu flies away with him, avoids everything here, and never comes back, there should be no problem!
The two walked out of the garbage dump, walked along the muddy path, and finally returned to the street.
Twenty minutes later.
A taxi stopped near the train station.
This is a transportation hub with many hotels. Xia Huilan quickly found a hotel that looked pretty good.
"You must come before dawn." Xia Huilan warned.
"Don't worry, maybe it won't take that long at all. I'll just buy some things, meet a few friends, and then come to you." Wu Xiaode assured.
Xia Huilan walked into the hotel with confidence.
Wu Xiaode watched from a distance across the street until she made a room reservation and went upstairs to rest, then turned around and walked away.
He walked around the corner and into a dark alley.
The crow spirit fell from mid-air and landed on his shoulder.
The crow tapped his shoulder with its long sharp beak and sent out a telepathic message:
"Originally the commission has been completed and I can go back at any time, but you seem to be quite good at killing people - how about we continue to cooperate and get some soul power to share?"
"Welcome." Wu Xiaode said.
"Where to go next?" Crow asked.
"It's a long way from the train station to the technology company called Guangming United Manufacturing. Taking a taxi is very expensive." Wu Xiaode said while looking at the taxi app on his phone.
"I will take you flying." Crow said excitedly.
"Let's go." Wu Xiaode said.
The crow disappeared from his shoulders, and a pair of black wings suddenly spread out from his back. He turned into a black bird and rushed into the sky, flying towards the north of the city.
……
other side.
Bright United Manufacturing Technology Company.
Although it was late at night, at least half of the rooms in this skyscraper were still lit.
When the crow fell from the sky, it flapped its wings vigorously and flew over the top of the building.
It saw that the lights were still on on the highest floor and that it was full of people.
It was so late and these people seemed to be still in a meeting.
Through the glass window, they could be seen looking serious and nervous, arguing fiercely.
The crow took one look and ignored it.
It flew around the building and quickly found Xia Huilan's former office.
A crow fluttered its wings and landed on the windowsill outside the office.
——The last time I came here was half a year ago.
Xia Huilan celebrated her birthday that day and asked herself to wait in the office for her to get off work.
But today the window was closed, and there were still a few people busy inside, so the crow hesitated and did not directly smash the window and fly in.
It gathered its black feathers, hid in the shadows of the night, and listened quietly to the movements in the room.
"Still haven't found Xia Huilan's results."
"I've searched all over, but there's nothing I can do."
"She must have destroyed all the documents long ago, otherwise why would she suddenly submit her resignation?"
"Obviously, as long as she brings out the technology, she can complete the entire big project immediately, but now she has to leave her job?"
Several people were talking at random.
Suddenly, the office door opened and a gray-haired old man walked in.
"What's the fuss about? How are things going?" he asked with dignity.
Several people stood up, you looked at me, I looked at you.
"Sorry, Mr. Zhang, we tried our best, but still got nothing." A man said bravely.
"Well, Xiaolan is my student and I know her. It's normal that you can't find her. It's very late today. You should go back and rest first." The old man said kindly.
Several people were a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, the other party didn't have any criticism and even asked me to get off work.
"Thank you Mr. Zhang."
One by one they left the office.
At this time, only the old man named Mr. Zhang was left in the office.
Great opportunity.
But the crow still didn’t move——
This old man came to Xia Huilan's office alone and drove everyone away. What on earth did he want to do?
I saw the old man opening Xia Huilan's computer and quickly inputting a string of characters.
A hidden interface suddenly appeared on the computer interface.
Here you have to enter the password again.
The old man took out his mobile phone and was about to dial the number when his phone suddenly rang.
He glanced at the phone screen and immediately connected.
A voice came from the receiver: "How is it, have you found your student?"
"Don't worry, they have caught her. The relevant technical materials will be ready soon. I will send them to you in person soon." The old man said quickly.
"Well, threatening her with the people around her is a good idea. You've done a good job. Come to me on the 87th floor later." The voice said with satisfaction.
"Thanks to you for issuing the wanted order, otherwise things would not have gone so smoothly. This was done under your guidance." The old man complimented.
"Stop talking, I'll wait for you to come over."
The phone hangs up.
The old man hesitated and dialed another number.
"Have you received Xia Huilan? Ask her to report the password to me first. I need to use it now." The old man said.
"Mr. Zhang," an urgent voice sounded from the receiver, "They did not come back. We mobilized satellites to search and found their bodies in a garbage dump. Xia Huilan disappeared."
"What did you say?" the old man stood up suddenly and said.
"Mr. Zhang, all the people sent are dead!" said the voice.
The old man was stunned for a few breaths and roared: "Quick, send more people!"
"Yes!"
The phone hangs up.
The old man made another phone call and said: "Go and catch that Wu Xiaode. The price will be doubled. Even if it's dead, you have to get the body back to me. You'd better complete the commission as soon as possible, otherwise -"
Wow!
There was a sound of breaking glass.
Then, he covered the old man's mouth with one hand and took the phone away with the other hand.
"The commission to arrest him is terminated." Wu Xiaode said into the mobile phone.
"Why?" came a voice from the phone.
"Because your client is going to die." Wu Xiaode said.
The other person scolded her.
Wu Xiaode turned off his cell phone, dragged the old man to the window, and whispered: "Are you surprised?"
The old man's pupils shrank suddenly, he was dancing, and he wanted to say something excitedly, but Wu Xiaode covered his mouth and couldn't say a word.
Wu Xiaode frowned and thought for a while.
"There is still a little feeling missing, what is it?"
He thought for a moment, then suddenly took out a syringe from his arms and injected an injection into his arm.
A moment.
The disguises on his body gradually disappeared.
He also tore off the plastic materials attached to his face and body.
"It turns out it's you, Wu Xiaode!" the old man said suddenly.
Wu Xiaode said: "I met you back then. At that time, I thought you people were amazing and the force that pushed human society forward. But now I realize that you are so ugly."
"I am just an ordinary student, but if you want to kill me and force Sister Lan, then I will definitely kill you before I die."
Wu Xiaode exerted his strength and gently placed the old man on the windowsill.
"Say your last words."
He said expressionlessly.
The old man hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, you don't know what the technology Xia Huilan has mastered means! You don't know the truth of this world at all - we are helping the entire human world, you can't kill me!"
"That's her skill, right?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"She can contribute to mankind!" the old man said with a blush.
"Yes, she can indeed contribute to mankind, but what does this have to do with you?" Wu Xiaode asked again.
"She gave up, you know? She didn't want to do it!" the old man said.
"Don't you want her to sleep with you? Of course she doesn't want to." Wu Xiaode said.
The old man's face froze with anger.
Wu Xiaode said confused: "Plagiarism is plagiarism, lewdness is lewdness, why do you want to act as if you represent the righteous side?"
He glanced at the street outside the window and found that there was really no one below, so he stretched out his hand and threw the old man outside——
The old man was in mid-air and suddenly burst out with a high-decibel scream.
Wu Xiaode turned into a crow and flew out again, throwing him back into the window.
“Ahhhhhh——”
The old man sat on the ground and shouted hysterically.
Wu Xiaode squatted on the table and waited until he had almost finished shouting, then asked softly: "How did you feel just now?"
The old man almost collapsed.
"Are you desperate?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"What do you want? Do you want money? Or something else? I can give it to you, as long as you spare my life." The old man said through gritted teeth.
"No, that's enough." Wu Xiaode said.
"Enough? What's enough?" The old man felt an ominous feeling in his heart. He reached out to touch his pocket, but was held down by Wu Xiaode.
"It feels good to see you so desperate..."
Wu Xiaode smiled slightly and continued: "It must be painful for Sister Lan to work under you, but forget it, we don't like to argue with others."
The old man was startled.
——He wants to let me go?
"You want to let me go?" he asked.
"Yes." Wu Xiaode said.
The old man got up from the ground, straightened his back, and was about to say something——
Wu Xiaode kicked out and kicked the old man out of the window sill, drawing a beautiful parabola in the night sky.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
Wu Xiaode did not save him this time.
Finally, the old man's shrill and long shouting suddenly stopped.
Wu Xiaode then turned around, took out a piece of paper from the table, wiped his hands, and said to himself:
"This should calm down Sister Lan. I will make the decision and the grudge between you will be wiped out."
"See you again in the world." (End of Chapter)
