Chapter 55 The Sound of the Xiao (Chinese flute)



Zhao Meijing suddenly had a bright idea. She took a bamboo flute from the room and handed it to Cheng Yuquan, saying, "Can you play the bamboo flute?"

Cheng Yuquan did not respond. His eyes were glazed over, and he lay motionless on the ground.

Zhao Meijing kicked him and said coldly, "Don't play dead."

After a moment of silence, Cheng Yuquan picked up his xiao (vertical bamboo flute) and began to play it softly.

......

Much later, Cheng Yuquan died.

His face was covered in tears and humiliation, his eyes wide open, unable to close in death.

Ji Hao got out of the pool, picked up Cheng Yuquan's body, and threw it out of the 22nd-floor window with a loud bang!

He did it on purpose.

This serves as a warning to those who covet his safe house and food: this is the consequence of any ill intentions they may have.

Back in the pool, Ji Hao stretched casually, feeling refreshed.

Qiu Yiren reminded him, "Young man, I overheard Cheng Yuquan talking to Wu Zhonghe and Brother Tian. They found a locksmith and are planning to make their move in the middle of the night. You'd better be prepared."

Ji Hao said, "Don't worry, they won't be able to break through."

"That's good." Qiu Yiren looked around and said with a sigh, "Now that I think about it, I was really stupid, really."

Zhao Meijing said, "Yes, dear sister, you could have a good life, but you insist on staying with that good-for-nothing Cheng Yuquan. What are you thinking?"

Qiu Yiren smiled and said, "Sister, you have excellent taste."

"Of course, we'll be together from now on and enjoy life to the fullest." Zhao Meijing entered the pool and took Qiu Yiren's hand.

"That's right." Ji Hao grinned mischievously.

......

The neighborhood's WeChat group was in an uproar.

"Holy crap, did you guys see that? Cheng Yuquan was thrown down from the 22nd floor! He's definitely dead."

"Isn't 1#2201 Ji Hao's residence?"

"Yes, Cheng Yuquan, Wu Zhonghe, Tian Ge, and others formed some kind of anti-Ji alliance, right? Now that Cheng Yuquan is dead, I reckon Wu Zhonghe and Tian Ge are trembling with fear."

"That's not necessarily true. Wu Zhonghe is also a gangster; he's seen all sorts of big scenes."

"Ji Hao, that murderer, has already killed several people. We should all attack together and take him down!"

"Yes, he clearly had food, but he didn't share it with us. He only thought about eating it all by himself. This kind of selfish murderer should be sent to meet the King of Hell."

Hei Zi: "Don't forget, last time Brother Ji offered 10 packs of instant noodles as a reward for Aunt Chen. What if he offers another 10 packs of instant noodles as a reward for you?"

Instantly, the group went silent.

Xia Siyu stood by the window, looking in the direction of Building No. 1, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She originally wanted to enter Ji Hao's safe house, but Ji Hao had told her that his safe house was very dangerous and was under attack at all times. He was afraid that if it were breached, it would implicate her and cause her harm.

At the time, Xia Siyu still harbored some resentment, but now that she saw Cheng Yuquan being thrown down, she no longer felt any resentment.

Safe houses are indeed dangerous.

Young Master Ji is right.

He is such a good person.

Xia Siyu flashed a charming smile and sent Ji Hao several sexy selfies.

Little did she know, Ji Hao had been stringing her along all along.

In the core group of the Off-Season League.

Tian Ge: "Holy crap, Cheng Yuquan is dead! What happened?"

Wu Zhonghe: "I don't know either."

Brother Tian: "Could it be that he secretly came alone, intending to kill that kid and then take all the supplies for himself?"

Wu Zhonghe: "His arm is still injured, so he shouldn't be capable of doing something like this."

Yan Ruoliu: "So, are you still going to make a move tonight?"

Brother Tian: "Of course we have to take action. That kid thinks he's gotten too big for his britches after killing Cheng Yuquan. Let's take this opportunity to go and kill him."

Wu Zhonghe: "I agree with your opinion."

Brother Tian: "Okay, let's act together tonight. Success is the only option, failure is not an option."

Wu Zhonghe: "Okay!"

Aunt Chen: "I want to go too."

Wu Zhonghe: "You?"

Aunt Chen: "I've been staying in the house for the past two days, and my injuries have gotten better. I can't sleep peacefully if I don't see you kill that beast with my own eyes."

Wu Zhonghe: "Okay, one more person means one more pair of hands."

late at night.

Wu Zhonghe, Brother Tian, ​​Aunt Chen, locksmith Master Sun, and two trusted henchmen, the six of them, armed with their gear, headed to Ji Hao's safe house.

This time, Wu Zhonghe and his team made ample preparations.

To protect themselves from crossbows, they brought wooden tables; to protect themselves from high-pressure water cannons, they wore raincoats and even gas masks.

Last time, Wu Zhonghe was blasted against the wall by a high-pressure water cannon and then hit in the face, which really hurt him. So this time, he went to great lengths to get a gas mask.

In this way, even if Ji Hao sprays everyone with his high-pressure water gun, it won't have much effect.

Upon reaching the stairwell on the 22nd floor, Brother Tian, ​​carrying a bucket of glue, rushed to the safety door and poured the glue into the firing port.

Once solidified, the firing port will be completely blocked, making it much easier to storm Ji Hao's safe house.

inside the house.

Ji Hao didn't take it seriously. Last time, after Tian Ge solidified water and turned it into ice to block the firing port, he simply turned on the heating function to melt the ice.

This time was no different; once the double heating function was turned on, the glue quickly lost its effectiveness.

"This simple, unpretentious life is so boring. I'll just keep you company for a bit." Ji Hao took out the high-pressure water gun again and sprayed it fiercely at the door.

However, since the group was wearing raincoats and gas masks, and there was a wooden table in front of them, the high-pressure water gun did not have much effect.

"Hmph, your high-pressure water gun is outdated. I've been fooled once, but I'll never be fooled a second time." Brother Tian turned his head to look at the locksmith and said, "Master Sun, it's up to you now."

"Don't worry, give me some time, I'll definitely be able to open it," Master Sun said confidently.

Brother Tian said, "Just keep working, we'll protect your safety."

Wu Zhonghe warned, "This door can be electrified, be careful not to get electrocuted."

"I'll be careful." Master Sun took out his tools and began to unlock the door.

Tian Ge, Wu Zhonghe, and two underlings together held up a large wooden table, protecting everyone under it.

In this way, neither high-pressure water guns nor crossbows can cause harm to anyone.
