Chapter 99 Not a Single One Will Escape

A series of urgent knocks on the door interrupted Lu Chi's actions.

He was puzzled; it was so late.

Who will come looking for him?

He placed the bowl he was holding on the bedside table, glanced at the old man on the bed, and then got up and went to the door.

The door opened slowly.

The person standing outside was Yu Qing.

Lu Chi looked at him in surprise: "Why are you here?"

Yu Qing closed the umbrella and said, "I just tried calling you, but I couldn't get through, so I came over to check on you."

"My phone... it's out of battery," Lu Chi explained.

"My mom wants you to come grab a quick bite. Let's go, come along."

"But... I haven't given Grandma her medicine yet."

"It's okay, I'll wait for you."

After saying that, Yu Qing sat on the sofa and played on her phone.

A moment later, Lu Chi came out of the old man's room carrying a bowl, and Yu Qing picked up an umbrella from the balcony, preparing to go out with Lu Chi.

The two had just opened the door.

Suddenly, a wet face came into their view.

The other person's hair was completely soaked, sticking to their forehead, with water droplets running down their cheeks, making them look like a water ghost that had just climbed out of the river.

The light streamed through the room, falling on his pale face and creating a subtle image: one half was illuminated by bright light, appearing somewhat warm and sunny, while the other half was shrouded in shadow, like a demon from hell.

Lu Chi stood in the light, quietly looking at Xu Zhi without saying a word.

“Officer Xu.” Yu Qing looked at him in surprise.

Just then, Lu Chi suddenly pulled Yu Qing aside and tried to slam the door shut.

Xu Zhi seemed to have been prepared. Just as Lu Chi exerted his strength, he charged in and lunged forward, grabbing Lu Chi's waist. The two of them crashed hard into the shoe cabinet.

The items on the cabinet were knocked off and rolled to the ground, making a series of noises.

Lu Chi's back slammed into the edge of the cabinet, and he felt as if his whole body was about to fall apart. He endured the pain and kept hitting Xu Zhi's head with his elbow.

Yu Qing was completely stunned by this scene.

Xu Zhi was dizzy from Lu Chi's elbow strike, but he still held Lu Chi tightly around the waist, not giving him a chance to escape, a sinister smile on his lips: "I've finally found you."

After saying that, he roared, as if unleashing endless potential, picked up Lu Chi, and slammed him against the wall.

A muffled thud.

Lu Chi felt his internal organs trembling.

But he ignored the pain, scrambled to his feet, quickly adjusted his breathing, stared coldly at Xu Zhi, and said to Yu Qing, "Call the police immediately."

"Okay." Although Yu Qing didn't know what had happened, seeing Xu Zhi's mental state, she immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly took out her phone to dial the police.

Xu Zhi smirked coldly: "You think you can escape?"

Lu Chi didn't say anything, but directly delivered a high sweeping kick to his head.

Xu Zhi quickly turned to the side and blocked with his left hand.

While making a phone call, Yu Qing observed the battle. It was the first time he had ever seen Lu Chi fight, and he never expected Lu Chi to be such a good fighter.

The call was quickly connected, and Yu Qing quickly gave the address.

At this moment, Lu Chi swept his leg over again, and Xu Zhi seized the opportunity to grab Lu Chi's leg.

Lu Chi was shocked and tried to pull his leg away, but it was too late. Xu Zhi was extremely fast and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into an octopus and wrapped his entire body around Lu Chi.

Lu Chi tried his best to break free from Xu Zhi's control, but Xu Zhi had trained in the octagon for many years and his mixed martial arts skills were comparable to those of professional athletes. His ground jiu-jitsu was even more despair-inducing. Xu Zhi's hands gripped Lu Chi's arms like iron clamps, pressing him firmly to the ground.

A perfect cross armbar is formed.

"You can't escape." Xu Zhi's lips curled into a cruel smile, his eyes filled with madness, as he forcefully pried open Lu Chi's right hand.

Lu Chi's elbow joint arched out in an extremely exaggerated arc.

Lu Chi gritted his teeth, watching as his entire hand was about to be broken by the other party.

"Lu Chi!"

Yu Qing shouted and grabbed a steel basin from the table, slamming it hard against Xu Zhi's face.

Although this thing doesn't hurt when you hit your head, it really hurts when you hit your face.

Xu Zhi was using all his strength to suppress Lu Chi and was caught off guard by Yu Qing's sneak attack.

With a click.

A crisp sound.

The entire steel basin was dented in half, and Xu Zhi covered his nose and cried out in pain.

Lu Chi seized the opportunity and kicked Xu Zhi, sending him flying.

Yu Qing quickly helped Lu Chi up and asked, "Are you alright, Lu Chi?"

Lu Chi shook his head: "It's alright, you should go quickly."

"Am I the kind of person who would abandon his brothers?" Yu Qing asked, his eyes fixed on Xu Zhi, without turning his head.

Xu Zhi wiped the blood from his nose and laughed even more maniacally: "I knew it, I knew there were two murderers. I've finally found you. None of you are leaving here today."

After saying that, he turned around, closed the door, and locked it.

"Damn it, I'll fight you to the death."

Yu Qing looked around, grabbed a stool, and rushed over.

The next second, Xu Zhi dodged to the side and kicked him in the stomach.

The force of that kick was terrifying, far beyond what ordinary thugs could achieve in a fight. Yu Qing lost his fighting ability almost instantly, clutching his stomach and collapsing to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

Lu Chi was anxious and was about to step forward to help when Xu Zhi suddenly turned around and punched him in the chin, causing him to lose consciousness instantly.

Xu Zhi slowly walked to his side, looking down at him with a gaze as if he were looking at trash.

He crouched down and grabbed Lu Chi's neck with both hands: "It's all over."

Yu Qing could only watch helplessly as the animals crawled toward them, bit by bit.

Lu Chi felt his throat being tightly gripped, as if the air had been sucked out.

His consciousness gradually faded, and he was powerless to do anything about it.

"You demon, I'm going to kill you."

Just then, the old man suddenly rushed out of the room, holding a knife, and stabbed Xu Zhi in the shoulder.

Xu Zhi cried out in pain, his hands immediately loosened, and he glared fiercely at the old man.

"Old woman, you're asking for it."

Xu Zhi reached out and pulled the knife from his shoulder, then rushed at the old man, stabbing him in the heart several times.

The old man's body kept moving backward until he finally collapsed in a pool of blood.

A hint of madness flashed in Lu Chi's eyes. With his last bit of strength, he grabbed Xu Zhi's waist and rushed towards the balcony.

"open."

Xu Zhi roared and flailed his arms, trying to find a foothold, but Lu Chi's strength seemed to come from nowhere. Ignoring his own injuries, he only wanted to pull Xu Zhi off the balcony with him.

Just as the two were sent flying...

Lu Chi suddenly felt a pair of large, strong hands grab him.

He looked up and saw Yu Qing's pale but determined face. Yu Qing shouted at him, "Don't let go, I'll pull you up."

Seeing this face, Lu Chi's hope to live was rekindled.

He gripped Yu Qing tightly with one hand and the edge of the balcony with the other, pulling himself up with all his might.

Yu Qing felt as if his arm was about to be torn off, his hand was trembling violently, but he gritted his teeth and used all his strength to pull Lu Chi up little by little.

Lu Chi's feet finally touched the balcony floor.

The sound of sirens could be heard from a distance down the street.

Yu Qing slumped to the ground, panting heavily.

Lu Chi rushed into the house immediately and went to the old man's side.

"grandmother…"

The old woman lay in a pool of blood, and she seemed to sense that she was about to die.

Her expression was calm, and her eyes were clear.

Seeing that Lu Chi and Yu Qing were safe and sound, she reached out a trembling hand and stroked Lu Chi's cheek. Her mouth opened slightly, and a weak voice gushed out along with the blood: "Good child... Grandma is so sorry for you..."
