Chapter 478 Brother-in-law and sister-in-law join forces against the enemy
Kong Wange smiled as she watched him quickly knock out and eliminate the guard.
As Murong Ting walked towards her, she immediately gave him a thumbs-up in a flattering manner: "Amazing!"
Murong Ting was initially angry that she had disobeyed him and secretly planned to teach her a lesson when they met. However, seeing her like this, he couldn't muster any anger at all.
He was content as long as she was unharmed.
He tapped her forehead helplessly: "I told you to wait for me before we acted. You're too bold. What would you have done if I hadn't come?"
"Cold salad".
Kong Wange shrugged, and seeing that Murong Ting was about to get angry, she quickly went over and grabbed his arm, saying coquettishly, "Okay, it was my fault this time, don't be angry. You came here now, didn't you? My brother is still fighting with Qian Liu, and we don't know how things are going. Let's go and see."
Murong Ting followed Kong Wange back quickly to the fertilizer pool.
The battle between Yan Su and Qian Liu has entered a heated stage, and it seems that Qian Liu has a firm advantage.
Murong Ting had fought with Qian Liu before, and was even injured by him when he infiltrated the Wen family to see Kong Wange.
Knowing the power of his hidden weapons, and seeing Qianliu reach for his waist with his left hand, he immediately warned sharply, "Watch out for hidden weapons!"
Yan Suben abruptly withdrew his punch at the sound of the shout and turned to the side.
A throwing knife grazed his left arm, leaving a trail of blood in the air.
If it weren't for Murong Ting's reminder, that dart would probably have hit him squarely in the chest.
Upon seeing this, Murong Ting joined the battle without saying a word.
While standing shoulder to shoulder with Yan Su, he raised an eyebrow and said, "You're injured, go and rest. I'll take over."
Yan Su frowned: "This person is very strong, and it will be difficult to fight him alone."
Murong Ting clicked his tongue lightly and glanced at his injured arm: "Just because you can't do it doesn't mean I can't."
Yan Su paused for a moment, then chuckled softly, "Alright, good luck then."
The two exchanged words for only two or three seconds. Qianliu's flying knife missed its mark, and the next knife arrived with a swift sound.
Murong Ting and Yan Su dodged at the same time, and Yan Su took the opportunity to retreat to the side to rest.
Kong Wange stepped forward to support him: "Brother, how are you?"
Yan Su, panting heavily, shook his head: "It's a minor injury, nothing serious."
In that short time, Murong Ting and Qian Liu were already entangled.
Qianliu frowned as he fought: "Where is Tao Xiangjun? Miss Wan Ge, are you really going to help outsiders against the Wen family?"
Murong Ting punched Qian Liu in the shoulder and sneered, "You dare to get distracted while fighting me?"
Qianliu, who had spent years licking blood from the edge of a knife, was skilled in deadly techniques, with no fancy moves whatsoever. His face was filled with murderous intent: "Since that's the case, the three of you will stay here tonight!" He made his punches even more ferocious, aiming for the back of Murong Ting's head.
Murong Ting stiffened, turned around to dodge, and attacked his lower back.
The two were locked in combat in an instant. After watching for a moment, Kong Wange said in a deep voice, "I guessed that Qianliu had some skills, but I didn't know he was such a good fighter."
"He's ranked second on the list of the top ten assassins on the dark web."
Kong Wange was shocked, partly because she didn't expect that such a ranking would still exist in the 21st century.
On one hand, she was surprised that Qianliu was in such a high position, and she asked with some worry, "Can we beat him?"
“The assassin is trained in the art of killing. I’m not afraid of him in a normal fight, but it’s hard to say if we’re talking about fighting to the death. But don’t be intimidated by his words. Even if we can’t beat him, Murong Ting and I can join forces and he can’t do anything to us.”
During their conversation, Murong Ting and Qian Liu had already exchanged more than a dozen blows.
If it were just hand-to-hand combat, it would be fine, but Qianliu was too skilled with hidden weapons. Murong Ting found it difficult to fight him. After a while, he cursed under his breath and took the opportunity to shout to Yan Su: "Brother-in-law, have you rested enough? He's too tough. Help me out!"
Yan Su had recovered a lot of strength in this short time. Hearing him call out, he curled his lips and flashed to join in.
As he threw a punch, he said to Murong Ting, "Did someone just say they didn't need me?"
Murong Ting: "Really? We're fighting. Focus on this and make it quick."
Although it was the first time the two had teamed up against an enemy, their cooperation was quite seamless. One attacked the top three lanes, while the other attacked the bottom three lanes, immediately turning the tide of the battle.
Seeing that he had no chance of winning, Qianliu gritted his teeth, seized an opportunity, slipped away, threw two throwing knives, and then turned and climbed over the courtyard wall to escape.
The three of them were stunned for a moment.
After a long pause, Yan Su finally spoke up: "Why did you slip away? Didn't you boast that you were going to leave all three of us here?"
Murong Ting looked in the direction Qian Liu had fled and asked, "So, should we chase after him?"
Yan Su, clutching his bloodied arm, said with lingering fear, "Forget it, spare his life."
Murong Ting wholeheartedly agreed: "Yes, spare his life!"
Kong Wange chimed in, "Since she's already run away, let it go. Wen Zirou won't admit to doing such a thing after tonight. Let's go meet up with Tao Xiangjun and discuss it."
The three of them then called a car and returned to Shaoyaoju.
Inside the Peony Pavilion, Tao Xiangjun stared at Xiaoxue with a worried expression.
Seeing them return, the tension in my heart eased, and I staggered forward to greet them: "You're finally back!"
Kong Wange turned around and closed the clinic door, letting Yan Su and Murong Ting rest on the sofa. She then went to Xiaoxue's side and asked, "How is Xiaoxue?"
Tao Xiangjun's eyes were a little red: "She's been dizzy the whole time, and I don't know how she is. If you hadn't come back soon, I was thinking of taking her to the hospital in the city."
Kong Wange sat down, checked her pulse, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "She's alright. She was probably just drugged. Let her rest here for a while, and she'll definitely wake up soon."
"That's good, that's good." Tao Xiangjun was finally relieved.
Kong Wange then went to help Yan Su and Murong Ting bandage their wounds. After they were all treated, she looked at Tao Xiangjun and said, "Tao Xiangjun, you saw what happened tonight. Wen Zirou is ruthless. Those who protect her will not have a good end. I bet you know the inside story about my mother. Now you can tell me the truth. Did the Wen family kill my mother?"
Tao Xiangjun sighed: "You...you guessed it all?"
Upon hearing the affirmative answer, Kong Wange leaned back in her chair, slightly lost in thought.
It turns out that they were the ones who caused her mother's death.
She had expected to cry and make a scene after finding out the real culprit, but when the moment actually arrived, she felt a sense of calm. She slowly said, "Could you tell me in detail what happened back then?"
A hint of reminiscence crossed Tao Xiangjun's eyes as he softly said, "The story goes like this..."
Decades ago, Tao Xiangjun wasn't called Tao Xiangjun, but Tao Yishou. He was a famous master thief in the underworld, known as "Master Tao the Third Master of Divine Hands".
Perhaps he had done too many bad things in his life, for he lost both his parents before he was twenty, and a few years later, his younger sister, with whom he depended on each other, also left him.
The successive deaths of his loved ones finally made him realize his mistakes and give up his habit of stealing.
