Chapter 94: Killed before the plan even started? This is too cruel!
The city night sky is brightly lit, the skytrain is constantly shuttling back and forth, and the hovercars are moving in an orderly manner along the designated channels.
Snap!
The small puddle was rippling, a figure fell down, and something behind it was vaguely retracted.
This is the back door of the Glowing Building. There are a few recycling bins there, the lights are dim, and there are few people around.
Li Ming looked around, as if searching for something, and then suddenly took a step to the right, then to the left into the shadows, sighing in his heart:
The black hole network is really scary. It has clearly identified the surveillance blind spots in most places on Jingnan Star and updates them in real time.
Such information can be purchased on the Black Hole Network for a fee. He only purchased information from a part of the area, and the price was as high as 100,000 star coins.
Moreover, Black Hole Network only guarantees its accuracy within twelve hours and is not responsible for any errors beyond this time.
His speed was like a folded shadow, and it was even harder to see him in the night. He was here one moment and appeared in the distance the next.
With the help of four pairs of D-level shoes, he was extremely fast and blended into the night.
Soon, he saw a black cube building sandwiched between high-rise buildings, with colorful lights on its surface.
If you get a little closer, you can feel the music almost accompanied by the vibration of the ground.
Langyong Bar, where Bian Li hangs out most often.
Li Ming stood in the blind spot of the surveillance, narrowing and expanding his vision, comparing it with the information he bought from the Black Hole Network, and finally found a narrow but accessible road.
While standing... he recalled the other person's photo to avoid killing the wrong person later.
He had only met this person on the day of the opening exam, and had long forgotten what he looked like.
Although I don’t know why this person is targeting me for no apparent reason, if the trouble is not dealt with, it will only get bigger and will not go away.
"Don't be in a hurry... We must be absolutely sure." Li Ming's eyes flashed as he swept across several surveillance cameras, quietly lurking in the dark.
Soon, he found an opportunity. The back door opened and a man in a black suit looked around. He walked into a surveillance blind spot very skillfully and took out a few cigarettes from his pocket. Sparks and smoke curled up.
A few minutes later, he threw down his cigarette butt, rolled his feet on the ground, and turned around to go back.
In the shadows, a cold light suddenly flashed, and the whole person was sucked into the shadows by a huge force. His eyes were full of fear, and his mouth was covered by a mechanical hand.
Not long after, he came out again. He seemed unchanged, but his eyes were completely different. He lowered his head, opened the door, and walked in.
The sound waves hit us in the face, mixed with the smell of alcohol and hormones, and the gorgeous lights flashed continuously.
Li Ming frowned. As usual, he went to the monitoring room first.
"Lao Zhang, what took you so long? It's my turn now." Someone came over and said loudly.
"Okay." Li Ming remained calm and watched the other party leave through the back door.
Going up to the second floor, Li Ming saw a passage guarded by several men in black suits with several signs on it saying - Employee area, no entry.
"Got it. I'll go to the monitoring room right away." He frowned, grabbed his right collar, and walked quickly towards it.
The bodyguards at the door looked at each other, shrugged, and did not stop him.
On the doors on both sides of the passage, there are signs - [Lighting Room], [Sound Room]
"Monitoring room..." Li Ming stopped in front of a room and knocked on the door. "Who is it?"
An impatient voice came from among them.
No one spoke. After knocking again, the door finally opened. The person who opened the door had a frown on his face. Before he could say anything, his expression suddenly changed drastically.
…
On the third floor, in the only private room, Bian stood at attention and impatiently rubbed the breasts of the pretty woman next to him. It was very quiet here and the music coming from downstairs could hardly be heard.
Bang!
The wine glass in the woman's hand accidentally fell to the ground, making a loud noise and splashing the wine. Bian Li's face was full of gloom, and he slapped the woman next to him in the face: "Don't you have eyes?"
Her eyes suddenly turned red, and she didn't dare to refute, but just covered her cheeks.
"Go out." The figure standing in front of the fish tank that covered half of the wall turned around, his eyes narrow and his voice feminine.
The woman stood up carefully and walked out with her head down. In the glass fish tank, a black fish was swimming. Its head was like a crocodile, hideous and ferocious, with fine scales all over its body.
"Why are you so angry?" The feminine man chuckled. "Did things not go as planned?"
"Not satisfied?" Bian Li said in a deep voice, "I've been attacking him from his side for more than ten days, and he hasn't reacted at all."
"Hehe..." The feminine man smiled faintly, then turned around and looked at the fish in the fish tank. This seemed to irritate Bian Li, and he said coldly: "Huo Ming, what are you laughing at?"
"Are you scared?" Huo Ming said casually.
Bian Li stood up suddenly, with a tangible flame in his eyes, "Say it again!"
"Don't be angry." Huo Ming put his hands behind his back. "Am I wrong? What kind of tactics did you use? Beating people up and stealing their nutrient solution?"
"What reaction do you expect from Li Ming? He might not even know."
Bian Li clenched his fists.
"For the past ten days, you haven't dared to provoke me head-on. You've been subconsciously stalling for time."
"What do you know? I'm just laying the groundwork. If there isn't enough conflict between us..." Bian Li explained.
"What's the point of enough conflict?" Huo Ming interrupted. "If there's enough conflict, Wu Yanqing won't attack you? Does he need evidence?"
Bian Li was speechless for a moment.
"I advise you not to think too much. Just act honestly. There might still be a way to survive." Huo Ming said calmly.
"A way to survive?" Bian Li sneered, "Where is the way to survive?"
Huo Ming bent down, staring at the fish. "If it's just to trade for Li Ming, it won't bring any benefits to your family. Why did your father agree?"
"Hmm?" Bian Li was slightly stunned, and then his pupils suddenly dilated: "Wu Yanqing?"
"Yes, your family's target is most likely Wu Yanqing. It's not just your family, there are quite a few others as well."
"You kill Li Ming, Wu Yanqing kills you, and then those people deal with Wu Yanqing. Maybe that's how it goes." Huo Ming paused and continued, "As for your survival, your brother...isn't he still in school? It doesn't matter who dies, you or him."
Bian Li laughed immediately, "It seems that you are still thinking about that slap. What should I do?"
"Just capture the people around him and force him to commit suicide!" Huo Ming suddenly shouted.
"How could he commit suicide?" Bian Li shook his head.
Huo Ming turned around, his lips curled up, "Of course it's impossible, but that would be a contradiction. He would definitely go find you. Let him beat you up severely, and then tell him that it was your brother who asked you to do it..."
Having said this, he paused, and Bian Li, who was listening with excitement, saw a look of surprise and doubt on Huo Ming's face.
Immediately afterwards, boom!
The wall behind him shattered, the fish tank cracked, and water waves mixed with glass fragments flew everywhere.
A dark figure rushed over with the waves and headed straight for Huo Ming!
Huo Ming felt the crisis of life and death, his eyebrows twitched, and his heart was extremely frightened, but it was too late to turn around, so he could only dodge to the side.
The straight trouser legs broke into pieces, the legs swelled more than once, and a big hole exploded in the floor.
But the person behind him was incredibly fast and had already gotten close to him. His fist, wrapped in alloy armor, hit him hard on the back.
boom!
He flew backwards like a cannonball and hit the wall on the other side in an instant.
His entire body was embedded deep inside, bending backwards at a strange angle. Even Bian Li could hear the sound of his spine cracking clearly.
Bian Li, who was standing beside him, was immediately horrified. Huo Ming was a D-level life form, so how come he couldn't even block a single attack?
It was not until this moment that he could see the other person's figure clearly. He was tall and straight, and his whole body was covered with black armor. Red flames burst out from the gaps, combined with some kind of scattered particles.
The head almost touched the ceiling and was three meters high.
Bian Li subconsciously took out his smart terminal and wanted to ask for help, but it immediately shattered into pieces, sparks flew everywhere, and a shadow enveloped him. He shrank and looked up.
The other person lowered his head, his entire head wrapped in an alloy helmet. He couldn't see the other person's expression, but a chill gradually enveloped him.
The wind was howling, Bian Li's hair was flying, his face was dazed, and Huo Ming, who was about to break free from the wall, disappeared, and only a scream was heard and it stopped abruptly.
Two bodies fell in front of Bian Li, blood flowing. Huo Ming looked at him with his eyes open in death, and then the bodies suddenly burst into flames.
Bian Li felt a surge of horror and fear in his heart, and his body trembled like a leaf.
"I didn't expect that this improvement would also bring about development progress." Li Ming was also surprised.
After he took control of the monitoring room, he randomly arrested a few people and found out the specific situation.
The most noteworthy person is a man named Huo Ming, the owner of this bar, who was specially supported by the Bian family and is a D-level life form.
In order to avoid accidents, Li Ming used [Thermobaric Bomb] to raise his life level to D level.
Unexpectedly, this improvement was not just reaching the D-level standard, but a huge improvement.
According to estimates, he should now be at 92% of the D-level strength level.
The energy level is already close to the C suffix.
In this case, he doesn't need to change the control objects, and still has four pairs of D-level shoes.
With this kind of strength, his speed reached an incredible level. Huo Ming, a D-level life form, had almost no power to resist in front of him.
Looking at the frightened Bian Li in front of him, Li Ming said calmly: "Now, we can talk."
"Don't worry, the sound insulation here is very good. This little noise won't disturb those people having fun down below."
Despair suddenly rose in Bian Li's eyes, followed by a fierce look. He asked, "Who are you? Who asked you to kill me?"
"Are you dealing with Li Ming?" The voice with unique cavity resonance came into Bian Li's ears through the combat helmet.
His eyes suddenly turned into a puzzled expression: "Li Ming? Wu Yanqing's man!?"
He couldn't believe it. The plan had just begun, or even hadn't really started yet, and Wu Yanqing sent people to kill him?
He had only heard of Wu Yanqing's cruelty, but he didn't expect him to be so cruel!
"Answer my question." Li Ming emphasized.
"Heh..." Bian Li sneered, his voice hoarse: "Even if I answer, will you let me go?"
"No, but you can choose the way you die. I can cut off your flesh piece by piece. Don't worry, it's absolutely accurate to within 0.1mm. You won't die for 24 hours, and you can watch it."
The voice was calm, but it made Bian Li's face turn pale.
"I'll only give you three seconds." Li Ming had just finished speaking when he heard Bian Li say in a mournful voice, "I'll say..."
With a look of surprise on his face, he picked up the broken bottle from the ground and drank the wine in it in one gulp.
Soon after, Bian Li knelt on the ground, his face covered in blood, and uttered his last words, "Huo Ming's office is at the end."
The flames were blazing, and Li Ming turned and headed towards Huo Ming's office.
…………
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Li Ming, what are you doing?" Qi Xing shouted as the knocks on the door continued.
Click—the door opened.
"What are you doing? Are you having a secret meeting with Nuo Xing?" Qi Xing squeezed in to look inside. Li Ming moved aside and Qi Xing staggered and almost fell to the ground. He seemed to be drunk.
Rosser and Zhao Jingang followed, looking around the room.
"That's..." Rosser's pupils shrank, and he quickly pulled out a bottle from under the quilt.
Develop a potion!?
"No way, big brother." Qi Xing came forward, his face flushed, in disbelief: "Are you a human being? You come to a banquet with a development potion in your arms, drink it halfway, and you come up to develop gene seeds in the room!?"
Rosser looked at Li Ming with an indescribable expression.
Zhao Jingang's expression changed, and he also felt that his worldview was shocked: "I have lived for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen someone like you."
"Give me a chance to live, big brother! Rosser's already been so stubborn, but at least he should rest for a day or two. You..." Qi Xing wailed, "Do you know how long it's been since I've interacted with girls up close?"
Li Ming was also helpless. "The environment down there really isn't suitable for me. I still feel it's easier to develop genetic seeds."
"I'll smash you to death..." Qi Xing was holding a bottle, intending to throw it at him. Rosser was quick to stop him. "Excuse me, he's just like that. Once he drinks too much, he gets mad."
"That's all right." Li Ming took out two bottles of nutrient solution from another corner and said with a smile, "Let's go. The party is over."
"No way, it's not even ten o'clock yet." Qi Xing shook his head, "You can't exercise anymore. Go down and drink. You must drink."
He dragged Li Ming downstairs and drank until about twelve o'clock. Qi Xing was completely unconscious, and the party was over.
"I drank a lot today." Wang Zhaoyuan asked with a smile.
"I met a drunk." He opened the window, and the cold wind blew in. The car slowed down, and his slightly dizzy mind became much clearer.
Xingchuang Company…Bian Family…Old Wu…
He had already learned the general truth from Bian Li, which was not too surprising as he had already learned the general truth yesterday.
This is a complicated web with many things mixed in. He is just the beginning.
That’s not right. Xingchuang Company really wants to kill him.
It was originally unknown how much it cost to suppress the Silver Ash Star incident, but it was exposed again because of Li Ming, and Li Ming even stood up for his competing company.
And for some reasons, Old Wu was also coveted by others and had some hatred against him.
But because of Yitlan and various other factors, they dare not act openly, which is still good news.
"There may be a lot of people who can't sleep tonight." The night wind blew on his face, and his hair lifted up. He had already seen the red and blue lights flashing in the distance.
I give up. I’ve been audited for no apparent reason lately, and I was audited again just now.
