Free Web NovelChapter 1135: Chapter 1105: Night of the Waning Moon (7)
Puff puff! Amid a spine-chilling sound of slicing, a sharp spike cut a four-centimeter-deep gash into No. 2’s chest, the point of the spike landing exactly at a spot that would cause severe damage without piercing the chest.
A loyal subordinate raised an iron rod to attack Xiao Lin from behind but was blown away by a sweeping kick from Xiao Lin before he could take the first step. He fell to the ground, spurting a mouthful of bloody pus, dead on the spot.
"Stop, Wing! Stop your hand!" When the third corpse appeared, Xiao Lin finally yelled violently. No. 2 was supposed to be the end of this battle, but unexpectedly, an innocent bystander appeared. Xiao Lin’s sharp shout rang out, impacting everyone’s eardrums present. Yelu Shou let go of his hand hooked on Dongsan Province’s shoulder and covered his ears. At this moment, he would not utter any nonsense; if Xiao Lin truly had the intent to kill afterward, he would follow suit, regardless of whether the person beside him was a brother of over ten years.
Dongsan Province moved his lips, while the four people behind him were eager to try. One had already died on the freighter, and they wouldn’t have another casualty on their turf, so they were waiting to unleash the full force of four against No. 2 when Xiao Lin struck decisively.
"Young Master Xiao!" Just as Xiao Lin sighed and closed his eyes due to Dongsan Province’s silence, the door to the room was pushed open at the exact moment, bringing a close to the last moment of Xiao Lin’s hesitation, avoiding an unmanageable outcome. "Don’t make things difficult for him anymore."
Dan Ning’s appearance did not surprise Xiao Lin at all. He looked at this literal Dongsan Province and withdrew his stance ready for another attack, his pitch-black eyes staring intently at him. "Dongsan Province, you’re a bit late."
"At least I was surprised by Young Master Xiao’s explosive temper." Dan Ning glanced at the corpses on the floor and the debris-filled room. The wall’s broken hole showcased the ordeal this cramped space had just gone through. "Take this person away. Let’s discuss in another room. You must have many questions to ask, but I don’t think this place is suitable for our conversation."
The person Dan Ning referred to was, of course, Robert, still in a coma. In fact, this person wasn’t of much use to him, but better to keep him than to kill him.
Yelu Shou hooked onto the ’Dongsan Province’ beside him. He smiled and exhaled a breath he had been holding in from his chest. He was truly nervous just now—if Dan Ning hadn’t appeared in time, Xiao Lin would have gone on a killing spree out of anger at this guy beside him. "Take off the mask on your face, it’s ugly!"
"How did you recognize me?" Wing lifted off a human skin mask from his face from bottom to top, revealing his true face. The leader of ’Black Crow,’ the long-missing Wing appeared before Yelu Shou.
"Lin recognized you at first glance, otherwise, what do you think he was doing? Anyways, you’ve lived with each other for over ten years, how could a small mask fool you? But you really went too far this time, I can’t help you." Yelu Shou said, hooking Wing’s shoulder, and followed Xiao Lin and the others out of the ruins.
Click-clack! Fingers restlessly tapped the numbers on the keyboard, and Tang, having stayed up all night, rubbed his head as he looked at Meisai behind him. "Go get some sleep on the bed!"
Meisai’s gloomy expression was hard to fathom. Seeing that he didn’t move, Tang didn’t bother him, instead pulling up a file from a folder and sending it out via email. By now, there was already a hint of white light appearing outside the window.
Curled up and seated, somewhat listlessly staring at the screen, watching it shut down after the last bright point flickered out. Neither spoke a word. In fact, just looking at the screen couldn’t capture the scene in real life, merely watching the bright spots increase, then decrease, or go out, leaving much to guess. Yet at this moment, it was Tang who felt particularly heavy-hearted.
"Today, you don’t have to go to the police station, staying up all night isn’t good for you, sleep at home!" Meisai patted Tang’s shoulder, even though he knew this little guy had just sent the entire night’s information to someone before him, he didn’t want to point it out.
"Are they all dead?" Tang asked quietly. Meisai didn’t know how to respond to this question, so he rubbed Tang’s head.
"You’re just a child, that’s adult business."
Tang squinted his eyes, resting his head against Meisai’s abdomen. "Meisai, I don’t like that person."
Meisai, startled by Tang’s sudden words, hesitated for a moment with the hand resting on his head. "Saying that once is enough."
"It was him who killed Jean Locke," Tang blinked. "I thought it was that Xiao Lin, but the chief surgeon admitted to it, along with that Instrument Master."
"So you killed them?" Meisai patted his small head. Someone reported finding two disfigured male corpses in a northern forest. The DNA has already verified their identities, and the case sits at the bottom of a pile of documents on his desk. Only the operating doctor among them had family ties, making it relatively troublesome compared to the other person, and tracing the killer became one of the police cases.
"Are you going to arrest me?"
"You did it very carefully. There are no traces left at the scene, only marks of wild animals. It will quickly be deemed as an attack by wild animals and closed as such."
"I don’t know what I did, I was just very, very angry, so I killed him. They shouldn’t have killed Jean Locke." Tang blinked. "That person refused to save Jean, saying he was a worthless person. I was really angry. Without Jean, I’m very lonely."
"The dead are dead, they can’t come back to life." Meisai’s right hand trembled slightly as he said this.
Tang said nothing more. A secret in his heart grew infinitely, harboring a mystery. In his mind appeared the smiles of five people, including himself, and the others he had seen before. "Meisai, what is my relation with Xiao Lin?"
"No relation!" Meisai quickly answered the question, and Tang fell silent again, only uttering two words in his heart.
Liar!
Meisai is lying to me.
Behind Dan Ning was a large floor-to-ceiling glass window, while the five identical-looking people stood behind Yi instead. Xiao Lin sat facing them, and Ye Lu Xiel walked around in this seemingly antiquated room as if unable to calm down.
In fact, the air pressure in the room was very low, and the culprit was none other than the silent Xiao Lin. Yi’s sudden appearance and manner both enraged him. Unlike when Yi was under the old man’s command, this anger was mixed with anxiety, an unending guilt. When this emotion surfaced, revealing that he lived well and with premeditation, not even Xiao Lin could help but want to dig out the heart of this person to see if it was as hard as stone.
Yi avoided Xiao Lin’s gaze, while the five behind him stared at Xiao Lin with what could be described as a predatory glance. Only Dan Ning was leisurely sipping tea, unaffected by the oppressive atmosphere.
Cough, cough! He put down his cup, coughed twice, stirring the stagnant low air pressure and gathering the attention of those in the room harboring hidden motives onto himself.
"Young Master Xiao, I don’t need to introduce him, I think you know him much better than I do." After the coughing, Dan Ning clearly dismissed Yi’s matter, implying that they take their grievances outside to settle them.

"But why would you barge in here in the middle of the night with people without any reason?" Dan Ning returned with an obvious change.
Xiao Lin raised his left hand, pointing his finger at the five people behind Yi, his tight lips resembling a refusal of any communication, while Ye Lu Zhou stood aside with his own considerations. In such a situation, he didn’t need to say much, nor offer any opinion as he discreetly approached those five identical-faced individuals. (To be continued.
