"No, that's not what I meant, Sister Qi Mi. I just think you are really amazing...That Niu Wei, relying on the favor of the vanguard officer, is lawless and has been plotting against Youyou openly or secretly. Now, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief!" Hou Shu put one hand on his waist, scratched his head with the other, and walked around the pavilion excitedly again.
Qi Mi snorted. Since she had encountered Niu Wei doing that twice in the supermarket, and both times with a female monster who had failed to advance, she knew that the man was not a good person and his head was full of dirty garbage.
"Niu Wei is dead, so everything should be fine this time..." Hou Shu nodded thoughtfully, then immediately looked up at Qi Mi, "It's okay, Sister Qi Mi, you can take your friends and leave."
"So... can we leave?"
"Yeah, since you've already killed the Vanguard's most trusted men, how can I explain it back? I can just say that I only saw Niu Wei's body when I arrived, and there was no one else around. I didn't see you, and you didn't see me. Isn't that a compromise?" Hou Shu smiled and raised an eyebrow. "Besides, Niu Wei was so powerful, but he was killed. It's normal that I can't catch him!"
Seeing him so confident, Qi Mi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's a good idea... Then I'll leave."
"Let's go," Hou Shu waved his hand. "But Sister Qi Mi, I have to tell you something in advance. This time, I'm definitely bringing Niu Wei's body back to report. The vanguard officer has many capable people under his command, and they'll likely be able to track down the murderer. If they find you, you'd better be extremely careful."
Qi Mi curled his lips: "Don't worry, my arm should have recovered by then... I owe you a favor for this matter, and I'll return it to you next time we meet."
"Alright! It's my honor to do Sister Qi Mi a favor. See you later!" Hou Shu smiled and waved his hand. He caught a glimpse of a person lying on the ground and hurriedly called out, "Wait a minute, Sister Qi Mi, this person has nothing to do with you?"
At this moment, Qi Mi had already climbed over the wall. A cold voice came from the other side of the wall: "It doesn't matter, I don't know him!"
Then, there was the sound of her leather shoes stepping away.
"Ah? Don't you know him?" Hou Shu was confused and scratched his head again.
Lang Yu's eyes had almost recovered by then, and he gave a helpless laugh: "She's angry, give him to me."
Hou Shu uttered an "oh" and, with some effort, lifted Qiao up and handed him to Lang Yu like he was handing over a sack. "Sorry, buddy, I didn't realize you were in cahoots with Sister Qi Mi. Is your eye okay?"
Lang Yu took it and carried Qiao on his shoulders: "It's okay... Are there any bicycles or something around here?"
"Bicycle?" Hou Shu thought for a moment, "Look over in the garage. I remember Niu Wei brought in a lot of pedal-powered delivery bikes."
"Okay, thanks." Lang Yu turned around.
"Then we'll see each other later!"
Hou Shu waved his hands awkwardly, his eyes following Lang Yu until he saw him climb over the wall and disappear completely, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Luckily, I didn't force it...
He glanced at the pile of sand with lingering fear. He'd actually been scared when he turned around and saw it, but he couldn't show it, so he just had to bite the bullet and continue pretending to be cool. If Qi Mi hadn't stopped him in time, what would he have become? Just another pile of broken sand?
hiss--
The more Hou Shu thought about it, the more frightened he became. He quickly clasped his hands together and muttered to himself, "Sister Qi Mi, thanks to you for stopping that big guy in time. I want to thank you in advance... You are my sister, you are my real sister!"
After calming down, Hou Shu went to pull up the yellow rose, dusted off the dirt at the base, and stuck it in the pocket of his overalls. After carefully smoothing the petals, he climbed over the wall and arrived at the villa's entrance.
The garage door was opened and it was empty.
Qi Mi and his companions had already cycled for some distance, leaving behind only their silent and receding figures in the darkness.
Hou Shu curled the corners of his mouth and waved in the direction they left... After watching them for a distance, he turned around, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and walked towards the villa that Qi Mi mentioned.
A few minutes later, he stood in front of the open French window and saw Niu Wei's twisted body.
On the strange face of the Taotie, an umbrella handle was stuck in the middle of his forehead, and there was also a broken porcelain shard, almost completely embedded in his skull. Perhaps he had never thought that he would die, because his two copper bell-like eyes were wide open and stared straight at the ceiling.
Hou Shu sneered, stepped forward and stepped between Niu Wei's legs, twisting his foot in anger: "Bullying my Youyou, right? You took advantage of me being away and wanted to bully my girlfriend, right? You deserve it, you deserve this day! Bah!"
His eyes were fierce, and he didn't come to his senses until a pool of blood formed under his feet.
Hou Shu took a look and wiped the blood off his feet on the carpet. When he was almost done, he grabbed Niu Wei's arm and walked out slowly as if dragging a dead pig.
He turned a wide corner from this end of the villa and dragged Niu Wei's body to a more luxuriously decorated villa.
There were bright red balloons at the door of the villa, creating a festive atmosphere, but it was too lonely, creating a kind of Chinese-style horror atmosphere.
Hou Shu shook off Niu Wei's arm, turned around, lowered his head, and slapped himself twice. When his cheeks were burning with pain, he ran into the villa in panic: "Oh no, oh no! Vanguard Officer, Captain Niu Wei is dead!"
Three advanced practitioners sat in the living room on the first floor of the villa. Each of them was tall and strong, with intimidating tattoos on their bodies. When they heard Hou Shu hurriedly bring this bad news, the three of them stood up suddenly and said, "What did you say? Niu Wei is dead?!"
Hou Shu's face turned pale, and he pointed outside the door tremblingly: "Yes, when I went to pick up the bride, I only saw Captain Niu's body..."
The three advanced practitioners looked at each other and hurried out to see what was going on.
Hou Shu raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes. He just breathed a sigh of relief, but when he turned around, he saw a burly figure standing on the stairs. Immediately, the breath was blocked in his chest, and the blood from the soles of his feet rushed to his crown.
He is the vanguard of Shadow.
He looked to be in his thirties, with a big head and a thin neck like other advanced people. He stood straight, wearing a neat uniform and a hat as always, with both hands on a gentleman's cane, exuding intimidation from head to toe.
Hou Shu bent down and lowered his head, not daring to look directly at him: "Master Vanguard..."
The vanguard officer stared at him sharply and asked in a cold voice, "You said Niu Wei is dead?"
"Yes, I was already dead when I got there."
At this time, three advanced people carried Niu Wei's body in, threw it on the ground, and also bent down to face the vanguard officer.
"Reporting to the vanguard officer, Niu Wei is indeed dead. All the wounds are concentrated on the top of his head. The bones in his body are broken, and that, that thing was also stepped on... I think the person who killed Niu Wei must be a very powerful person, otherwise he would not just attack the dead body." A man with a thick silver chain around his neck replied.
The man's name was Xing Tiejun, and he was considered the vanguard officer's second most proud subordinate.
The vanguard officer stood at the stairs and glanced at the corpse indifferently: "What about my two women?"
"Woman..." Hou Shu reacted and quickly replied, "When I arrived, Captain Niu was the only one in the room. I didn't see any woman..."
"Both women are away?"
Hou Shu lowered his head: "They are not here, I didn't see them."
The vanguard officer was suspicious and walked down slowly with his gentleman's cane. He stood in front of Niu Wei's body and poked his arm with the end of the cane.
Niu Wei's left hand was stiff and curled up, as if he was holding something.
Without waiting for the vanguard officer to speak, Xing Tiejun squatted down, struggled to pry open Niu Wei's hands, and handed over the thing he was holding with both hands.
The vanguard officer took a look at it, then picked it up with two fingers.
It was a used Band-Aid with a small blood stain and a cute smiley face pattern on it.
Hou Shu raised his eyes and took a peek, and when he saw the Band-Aid in the vanguard officer's hand, he gasped.
The vanguard officer sniffed it and sneered, "It seems Captain Niu was careful before he died and kept something from the murderer. You should keep it well. This thing is for revenge for Captain Niu."
As he spoke, he raised his hand, and Xing Tiejun immediately took it with both hands.
"But what about my wedding? It's already been decorated so grandly..." The vanguard officer looked around.
Hou Shu immediately knelt down and admitted his mistake: "Sir, Vanguard Officer! I am willing to make amends and capture the two women who escaped!"
"Catch him back?"
"Yes, catch him back!"
The vanguard officer snorted, placed the end of his cane on Hou Shu's chin, and lifted his head: "You're right, you should make amends—" He paused, his mouth suddenly widening, "But I can't wait for you to catch them back. Tonight I want the bridal chamber, the flowers, the candles! And your girlfriend Youyou..."
"Youyou..." Hou Shu's face changed, and he turned pale as paper in an instant. "Sir Vanguard Officer, please don't! I promise I will capture those two women for you tonight! Please don't touch Youyou! I beg you!"
As Hou Shu spoke, he kowtowed to the vanguard officer with such force that blood soon oozed from his forehead.
"Don't waste your energy. You know I always keep my word. It's useless even if you die here." The vanguard officer ignored him. After deciding to marry Youyou, he ordered several female monsters to change Youyou into a red cheongsam for the wedding.
"No! Don't touch Youyou!" Hou Shu hugged the vanguard officer's legs. "As long as you don't touch Youyou, I'll agree to anything you want! I'll be your slave!"
"Like a slave?"
The vanguard officer smiled strangely, kicked Hou Shu away, and stomped on his chest. As if on purpose, he crushed the rose on Hou Shu's chest with his foot. Soon, the juicy petals were crushed like mud.
Hou Shu only felt a warm sensation in his throat and vomited a large mouthful of blood.
The pioneer officer's smile deepened as he looked down at him condescendingly: "Make your position clear to me. You're nothing but a dog I keep! If you waste any more of my time, I'll kill you right now!"
After saying that, he wiped the blood from his shoes on Hou Shu with disgust, kicked the crushed flower away, and turned to leave...
