Chapter 49 Car Dealership 3 (Was he deliberately trying to stage an accident?)

After the conversation, Sister Ma's mind was opened, and she became visibly more cheerful.

Having encountered danger with Furong and An'an one after another, I felt deeply for them and became much more cautious in my actions.

Yunxin continued to study with Qiao Yun, memorizing the materials as hard as she could.

Suddenly, Sister Yang rushed over anxiously, saying, "Manager, something terrible has happened! Quick, check the trending topics!"

Qiao Yun was slightly taken aback and took out her phone to check.

Yunxin also took out her phone.

Several related terms appeared on the trending search list: "Famous Internet Celebrity 'Biao Ge' Gets into Racing Accident," "Two Cars Collide, Other Car Suffers Minor Injuries, 'Biao Ge' Suffers Serious Injuries!", and "Safety of XX Car Questionable."

“Brother Biao is my client. He just bought a new car from me not long ago.” Sister Yang was extremely panicked. “But this happened right after he bought it! He’s seriously injured and in the hospital now, and I hear he’s still in a coma.”

Qiao Yun realized the seriousness of the problem and instructed Yun Xin, "You stay here and study the materials carefully."

Then he said to Sister Yang, "Let's go to the hospital."

"Okay." Seeing the manager calmly giving instructions, Sister Yang immediately felt reassured and her mindset calmed down considerably.

The two rushed to the hospital to visit the patient.

On the other side, Yun Xin had just found a seat when she received a call from Wu Peng.

"Hello?"

When the call connected, Wu Peng said, "I heard that Gao Yang has a list and is looking for survivors to hunt them down one by one."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Yun Xin was momentarily stunned and didn't react.

Wu Peng said, word by word, "After the massacre of the Takahashi Group, Gao Yang obtained the list of nursing home staff involved."

"After the experiment, some employees went to headquarters, and some went to branch offices."

"Gao Yang massacred the Takahashi Group headquarters, killing only a portion of the participants."

“His revenge is not over yet. He is going to drag out the participants one by one according to the list, and then massacre their families.”

"So far, five households have been affected."

“We were invited by Bai Wei to join the experiment. Even if you withdraw early, your name and personal information will still be on the list. In other words, if Gao Yang is not caught by the police, he is very likely to come looking for you.”

“…Damn it!” For a moment, Yun Xin didn’t know whether she was cursing the Takahashi Group for being inhuman, for recording the name and personal information of every participant even after the experiment was over, or cursing Gao Yang for being inhuman, for taking revenge in such a way that the whole world was about to be buried with his grandfather.

"Thanks for reminding me. I'm hanging up now; I'll go home and check things out."

After saying that, Yun Xin quickly hung up the phone and asked for leave to go home.

"Fire! Call the fire department immediately and get help to put out the fire!" Thick smoke billowed from a building, and people were shouting loudly at the entrance.

Xiao Wei, carrying the groceries she had just bought, walked past indifferently as if she hadn't seen them.

He didn't care why the fire started, nor did he care if anyone was injured. He didn't even bother to watch the commotion and just walked towards his rented room.

The moment the door opened, a faint, unusual sound came from the bedroom, and Xiao Wei's ears twitched.

"It seems that mice sneaked in when no one was home."

Xiao Wei put down the vegetable basket, closed the door, and began catching mice.

He had just opened the bedroom door when a flash of cold light, as fast as lightning, struck towards his neck.

Xiao Wei caught him precisely and twisted him in one swift motion, subduing him. "Who are you? How did you get in?"

The person did not answer, and tried to resist with the hand that was not holding the knife.

Xiao Wei dislocated his wrist and asked again, "Who are you? How did you get in?"

The newcomer glared fiercely at Xiao Wei, asking instead of answering, "Where's Yun Xin? Where is that bitch!"

Xiao Wei had originally planned to call the police and hand the man over to them. Upon hearing this, he clenched his right fist and delivered a powerful punch to the man's abdomen.

"Ouch!" Gao Yang cried out in pain, curling up into a ball.

Xiao Wei stepped on Gao Yang's ankle and reminded him expressionlessly, "Speak properly."

"Why?! I... Ah!!"

Since he refused, Xiao Wei broke his ankle.

While stepping on him, he said, "With so many accidents lately, if we threw you into a fire scene... do you think the police would be able to tell who you are?"

Gao Yang was in so much pain that sweat poured down his forehead, and he couldn't utter a single word.

The veins on his forehead throbbed as he said, word by word, "Yun Xin participated in human experiments, causing my grandfather's tragic death. She deserved to die!"

“No, she doesn’t have that kind of hobby,” Xiao Wei said without hesitation. “If she were interested, I would definitely give you to her.”

Gao Yang: ? ? ?

For a moment, he wondered if he was hallucinating because of the intense pain.

Why does this man's words and actions seem more like those of a bad person?!

"Before trespassing, didn't you ever think that the victim might resist?" said Xiao, the "victim."

A fucking victim!

Gao Yang wanted to curse, but his throat was stepped on.

He forced out a few words, "You all claim to be righteous... yet not a single one of you is willing to give my grandfather justice..."

"I don't believe in justice, much less represent justice," Xiao Wei said coldly. "The reason I can trample you underfoot is simply because I'm stronger."

Gao Yang had nothing to say.

He has always relied on his extraordinary abilities to take revenge.

And now, he is at the mercy of others for the same reason.

"What...do you want?" Gao Yang asked with difficulty.

Xiao Wei sized up Gao Yang as if he were looking at fish on a chopping board.

Suddenly, he smiled.

"So," the policeman said with a strange expression, "you beat the intruder like this because he suddenly attacked you and stabbed you in the neck with a knife?"

Xiao Wei, still shaken, said, "That's right."

The police officer was speechless for a moment.

There were signs of a struggle inside the house.

That person did indeed trespass illegally.

But why did he break in with multiple fractures, and now lie on the ground, seriously injured and unable to move?

The person who called the police looked terrified, shouting, "The intruder was so scary!" and "I was so scared that I fought back!" and then emerged unscathed.

"How did you take him down?" the policeman asked again.

"I don't know either." Xiao Wei said blankly, "He just punched me a few times and he fell down... Officer, was he deliberately trying to stage an accident?"

Gao Yang was so angry that he vomited blood.

Unfortunately, he took two punches to the face and lost most of his good teeth, leaving him unable to speak at all.

The police officer had mixed feelings. He tried to understand, "Have you heard of the superpowered people that's been all the rage lately? There are indeed some people who unleash their potential and demonstrate extraordinary fighting abilities when faced with danger."

Xiao Wei suddenly realized, "No wonder I knocked him down so easily!"

He then frowned and said worriedly, "Officer, will there be any trouble later? I just wanted to protect myself, I didn't expect him to be so weak..."

"According to the latest federal regulations, if a superhuman breaks into an ordinary citizen's home, the homeowner has the right to kill them," the police officer reassured him. "Don't worry, protecting yourself is the right thing to do."

Xiao Wei breathed a long sigh of relief, looking visibly much more at ease.

"Gao Yang has committed multiple murders. Thank you for apprehending him," the police officer said earnestly.

"Ah... I didn't do anything." Xiao Wei looked terrified.

The police thanked him again, then carried Gao Yang away on a stretcher.

After everyone left, the fear on Xiao Wei's face completely disappeared, replaced by calmness and indifference.

As luck would have it, when Yunxin returned, she saw the police carrying Gao Yang out.

She quickly inquired, "What happened?"

The neighbors chimed in, "You know about the massacre at the Takahashi Group headquarters, right? He did it! They say he sneaked into our neighborhood, trying to do something bad, but he got caught."

"Someone caught him and even called the police. And now, he's been apprehended."

"With someone like this on the run, I couldn't sleep soundly. Now look what's happened—he's been caught and shot, so everyone can see what happens when you do bad things!"

"By the way, which young man caught him? 0604?"

"No, no, it's 0504."

Yunxin's heart tightened, and she hurried home.

The door opened, and Xiao Wei stood there unharmed, calling out to her as usual, "Xin Xin?"

Yunxin strode forward, looking left, right, front, and back. Only after confirming that the person was alright did she let go.

"How did you catch Gao Yang?" she asked.

Xiao Wei tried hard to recall, "He punched, pinned the person down, punched again, and then..."

Yun Xin changed the subject, "What are your attributes?"

Xiao Wei glanced at the panel and honestly replied, "Strength: 7.8, Agility: 7.3, Constitution: 8.5, Spirit: 6.4."

Yun Xin couldn't understand, "Didn't you just get rid of the debuff? How could this be..."

"Although I was strong when I was a child, it shouldn't be this strong, right?"

"What exactly happened during the six years I was away?"

“It was like this: the employer would run into trouble, I'd save him. If he died, I'd find another employer. If he didn't die, he'd run into trouble again, and I'd save him again,” Xiao Wei recalled. “Speaking of which, for a while, every time I saved an employer, my physical condition would improve. Either I'd become stronger, or I'd run faster, or I'd become more physically robust.”

“That shouldn’t be enough to have such high stats…” Yun Xin wasn’t unhappy for him, but she found it strange and illogical. “Having a debuff means that each rescue involves fewer than ten people, so the stat increase at once won’t be that much. How many rescues would it take to accumulate such high stats?”

“I just remembered, a year ago, someone failed to assassinate his employer and suddenly shouted at him, ‘This is evolution! It’s also a game! Those who are not qualified will eventually be eliminated.’ After that, the frequency of accidents increased dramatically.” Xiao Wei couldn’t help but sigh, “Several times, my employer almost lost his life. I went to great lengths to save him from the clutches of death.”

"So," Yun Xin concluded, "you actually heard about the 'Evolution Game' from someone a year ago? And then you survived for a year with the 'Bad Luck' debuff?"

“Yes!” Xiao Wei nodded vigorously.

Yunxin was stunned, and it took her a long time to say, "That's fine too."

"My attributes are: Strength: 7.3, Agility: 7.1, Constitution: 7.5, Spirit: 8.1."

"For now... both of them are safe."

On the other side.

Two police officers were about to take Gao Yang to the relevant authorities for interrogation.

The car stopped halfway through the journey.

The police officer acting as the driver got out of the car to check the situation.

"How is it?" asked the policeman guarding the prisoners in the car.

"The car broke down and I need to change the tire." The driver cursed under his breath, then resignedly went to the trunk to get the tire.

During the rest period, the guards relaxed their vigilance for a moment, and Gao Yang suddenly came back to life, knocked the person down, opened the car door, and fled at high speed.

"He's so badly injured, how can he still run?!" The driver was extremely panicked. He wanted to give chase, but he was afraid that he was no match for him and would only be throwing his life away.

The main problem was that the person who initially reported the incident didn't clearly state who they were arresting; they simply said someone broke into their home and they were beaten to the ground. The police station, unaware of the situation, randomly dispatched two officers.

They're fine dealing with ordinary criminals, but dealing with a super-powered criminal like Gao Yang is going to be tough.

Thinking of this, the driver decisively picked up the walkie-talkie, "This is xx District, xx Street. Superpowered criminal Gao Yang has just escaped injured. Requesting backup! Requesting backup!"
