517: Chapter 517 Tangyu’s Guess 517: Chapter 517 Tangyu’s Guess Outside the private room, in the bathroom, a male waiter in disguise stood coldly, his gaze vigilant as he scanned his surroundings.
Any slight movement could not escape his eyes.
He held a mobile phone in his hand, sending a message out.
After sending the message, he dismantled the phone, destroyed the SIM card, and then threw the phone into the toilet.
Having done all this, he checked the time, a cold gleam appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he walked out towards the private room where Tangyu and his party were.
First, he pressed his ear against the door to listen to any sound inside.
After listening for a while, a smug smile spread across his face.
He knocked on the door.
For a long while, there was no slightest stir inside.
He quickly opened the door, slipped in, and closed the door behind him.
Upon entering, the waiter’s gaze swiftly swept across and landed on the three people sprawled on the dining table.
His lips curled into a smile, and he thought with a sneer, “I thought that little guy wouldn’t go down so easily.
I worried it might be more troublesome, but it seems I was overthinking.
This is for the best.” His gaze, sharp as a cold blade, moved to the Buddhist Jump Over the Wall soup on the table, noting that about one-third of it was gone.
Seeing the remnants of the dish on the plates in front of each person, he let himself relax.
“Humph, to fall into my hands so easily.
The second boss even told me to be cautious—it’s nothing much after all.
I really don’t understand how our operation could have stumbled over this guy.
But it doesn’t matter, I’ll send him off to apologize to our big boss and the third boss soon; this great achievement will be mine.” The man sneered to himself.
Drawing a knife, he approached Tangyu and kicked him, checking for a reaction.
Seeing Tangyu was unresponsive like a dead pig, his sneer deepened, filled with scorn.
“Just like that, go to hell!” Without hesitation, the man stabbed fiercely at Tangyu’s neck, not holding back for an instant— a move meant to kill.
The figure sprawled out, Tangyu, suddenly leaped up, his hand striking out like lightning.
The assassin, seeing Tangyu feign unconsciousness, was shocked, his face paled with surprise.
But then his expression turned to one of resolve; he had come on this mission prepared to die.
In this line of work, life was always in one’s own hands, death a constant possibility.
Being chosen for this mission indicated his adept ability, marking him as one of the elite.
In an instant, the assassin calmed down and his knife swiped toward Tangyu’s approaching hand, hoping to force Tangyu back.
The arrow had been shot and couldn’t be retracted—in this room, only one of them was destined to walk out alive.
Tangyu was calm and collected.
His grappling technique was well-practiced to perfection, and there was no stopping the assassin’s attempted interruption.
Tangyu’s hand, without suspense, tightly gripped the assassin’s wrist that held the dagger.
The assassin was prepared, and his other hand violently aimed for Tangyu’s face, hoping to use the blow to push Tangyu away.
With a slight smile, Tangyu appreciated the assassin’s ability to react so quickly under such circumstances, acknowledging his decent skill.
However, in terms of combat ability, the assassin was somewhat lacking, and Tangyu, having no time for play, went all out from the start, leaving the assassin without the slightest chance to resist.
Crack!
With a forceful twist, Tangyu dislocated the assassin’s arm behind his back, and at the same time, he grabbed the other fist, a crunch of bones sounding as he forcefully squeezed, like crushing brittle objects, the sounds popping in sequence.
Hit by these two fierce strikes, the assassin’s face contorted in pain, his lips turning a shade of purple as both of his hands were rendered useless.
With both hands disabled, he was essentially crippled.
He knew he was as good as dead today, so he didn’t resist any further.
Instead, he stared at Tangyu and the others with an odd expression as Feng Tianyi and Liu Shanshan also stood up.
“How is this possible?
All three of you ate the Buddhist Jump Over the Wall, how can you be perfectly fine?
This is impossible,” said the assassin, his face filled with disbelief.
“Who said your young master Feng ate it?
After you drugged it, do you think we’d be foolish enough to eat?” Feng Tianyi said.
“Impossible, how could you possibly know the dish was drugged?
It’s completely impossible!” the assassin was even more incredulous.
Feng Tianyi curled his lip and said, “With my master here, nothing is impossible.
My master is the Divine Doctor.
Do you understand what that means?
Your little tricks were seen through by my master long ago.
Speak up, who sent you?
You better be honest because I can guarantee you’ll meet a dire end if you’re not.”
“Humph, just kill me if you have the guts.
Don’t dream of getting a single word out of me,” the assassin snorted defiantly.
“No need to bother asking; his accent is obviously from Yun Province.
Clearly, he is someone from Yun Province.
Aside from the Second Tiger of Yun Province’s Three Tigers, I’ve not offended anyone else.
So it’s quite obvious that he was sent by the Second Boss of Yun Province’s Three Tigers.
What I’m curious to know, though, is how you managed to slip in here so easily.
The entire police force of Donglin City is on your tail, with all your information being circulated nationwide.
It was someone from your group last time, too, trying to kill me, and now again.
It seems that you must all be hiding somewhere in Donglin City.
The entire police force of Donglin City hasn’t been able to find you; that is truly miraculous,” Tangyu said.
“Humph, there are plenty of miraculous things.
Cut the crap.
I admit defeat today; kill me or butcher me as you please, but dream on about getting any info from me, squash that thought,” the assassin said with a face full of defiance.
Tangyu shook his head and said, “You’re wrong.
I don’t want to hear anything from you because what you could say, I’ve already deduced.
It doesn’t matter whether you speak or not.
If I am not mistaken, there must be someone in Donglin City with significant clout sheltering you, which is how you’ve managed to hide in Donglin City, waiting for a chance to take revenge on me.
Even if you don’t speak, I have a guess as to who it is.
The number of people who have a grudge against me is limited, and those with such great power are even fewer.
It’s not hard to guess who it could be.
So, whether you talk or not, I don’t care one bit.”
The muscles on the assassin’s face twitched violently, his complexion turning strangely surreal.
Just then, the door suddenly burst open, and Feng Chen rushed in with several subordinates, “Tangyu, are you alright?
What happened?”
Tangyu nodded, “We’re fine.
This person is sent by the second-in-command of the Three Tigers of Yun Province, attempting to kill me.” Feng Chen was called over by Feng Tian, as this was his turf after all, and naturally, he would be the one to clean up this mess.
Feng Chen’s gaze swept toward the assassin, and suddenly, a Whirlwind Kick hit the assassin’s body, sending him flying and crashing heavily against the wall, crying out in pain.
With a wave of his hand, Feng Chen had two of his men rush over and prop up the assassin.
Due to Feng Chen’s kick, the assassin was in immense pain, showing a somewhat dazed expression.
“I’m really sorry, Tangyu.
It was my neglect in management that someone was able to sneak in.
Fortunately, you are alright.
Otherwise, I’d have a hard time absolving myself of the blame.
Let me take this person with me; I’ll get him to talk,” Feng Chen said.
Tangyu waved his hand, “No need for that.
I already know what I need to.
Just turn him over to the police.”
“Alright then, I’ll hand him over to the police,” Feng Chen nodded.
Tangyu turned to Liu Shanshan and asked, “Have you had enough to eat?” Liu Shanshan nodded, “I’m full, let’s go.”
Tangyu nodded, then said to Feng Chen, “We’ll leave this place to you then, we’re taking our leave.”
“Hmm, leave this to me.
I’ll take care of everything,” Feng Chen said.
Feng Tian immediately said, “Master, Mistress, let me escort you out.” Hearing Feng Tian address Tangyu as master, Feng Chen’s eyes flickered with surprise, glanced at Feng Tian, and shook his head.
It was the first time he saw this guy show respect to someone, and quite attentively at that.
Tangyu’s personal charm truly was enviable.
Once in the car, Feng Tian smirked and said to Tangyu, “Master, now you have to admit it.”
“You’ve worn me down.
Fine, I’ll reluctantly accept you as my disciple,” Tangyu said.
Feng Tian was somewhat dissatisfied, “Don’t say it like that, Master.
I, Feng Tian, am also a rare prodigy, you know.
Even my master praised me as a Kung Fu prodigy seen once in a century.
I’m only fifteen this year, and it’s already hard to find a match for me.
In the future, I’ll be that unparalleled king who has no equal under the heavens.”
“You may be a genius in martial arts, but I think you’re just mediocre in medicine.
I only agreed to take you as a disciple; I won’t teach you any medical arts.
If you really want to learn, I’ll buy you some medical books some day, and you can study them on your own,” Tangyu said.
“I’m a genius in martial arts, and I’m definitely a genius in medicine, too.
I am an all-around genius—trust me, I’m not wrong.
Regardless, since you’ve taken me as a disciple, you should at least teach me your medical skills.
If you don’t teach me, how would you know whether I am a genius or not?
It’s not fair to fool people like this.
Dare to fool me, and I won’t let it go,” Feng Tian said.
“I don’t think you have the patience and perseverance to learn medicine.
If you really have the heart, then go buy a book on the basics of Chinese medicine, finish it, and I’ll test you in three days.
If you can pass my exam, I’ll consider teaching you medicine, alright?” Tangyu said.
“Bring on the test.
I’m not afraid.
Three days it is, I can wait, so it’s settled.
Sit tight, Master, Mistress, I’ll take you back to the company,” Feng Tian said confidently.
Tangyu shook his head, wondering what he would do if Feng Tian really did pass his exam.
Teaching him medicine would be overstepping the boundaries of his school.
Should that time come, he would have to seek his own master’s advice.
But first, he had to see if Feng Tian was cut out for it.
Without the talent, studying would be futile.
Sitting in the car, Tangyu thought over the situation.
From the last encounter with Song Qingyu, involving the two motorcycle-riding assassins, to the recent drugging and sneak attack, it was evident that they were both orchestrated by the second-in-command of the Three Tigers of Yun Province.
The question was, who was backing him from behind, enabling him to evade the Donglin City police’s dragnet and send assassins to kill him.
The first person that came to Tangyu’s mind was undoubtedly Liu Dingyang.
If anyone in Donglin City wanted him dead, it would definitely be Liu Dingyang.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, a very simple truth.
Apart from Liu Dingyang, Tangyu couldn’t think of anyone else.
It wouldn’t be Sun Wukong’s style.
Other people were not significant; Zhou Tao was dead, Zhou Hequan had lost his power, and as for Zhou Jie, Tangyu believed he lacked the cunning and sophistication required.
Therefore, the only possibility was Liu Dingyang.
