Chapter 104: Follow

Chu Tian thought to himself, how could Heizi afford to hire someone to kill him? If his guess was right, it should be that his aunt and her family knew the college entrance examination was approaching and were eager to get rid of him to ensure that the 130 million yuan from his uncle - in - law would surely go to Chu Xinxin. So they found Heizi, promised him a high price. Then, Heizi, lured by the large sum of money, took out a part as a deposit to hire a killer to kill him, and another part to get Officer Zhang to use his police status to kill them and silence them. If Tian Yangsheng had killed him just now, Officer Zhang could have shot the "murderer" on the pretext of eliminating the threat, and Heizi could have saved the money for Tian Yangsheng. If Tian Yangsheng failed, he could still take this opportunity to shoot both Tian Yangsheng and him. Even if only Tian Yangsheng was killed, he could keep Chu Tian from ever knowing who offered the bounty.

Chu Tian knew that this Officer Zhang probably only knew about his part of the plan. To find out the whole truth, he had to question Heizi. It seemed that the night before the college entrance examination was always full of trouble. Fearing that Tian Yangsheng would kill Officer Zhang after he left, Chu Tian struck Officer Zhang on the neck with his palm. Officer Zhang immediately fainted and lay motionless on the ground. In the forest at night, there were many mosquitoes. Although he couldn't kill him as punishment, letting him suffer from mosquito bites was also a form of retribution.

Chu Tian slowly walked out of the forest, feeling a sense of indescribable heaviness. How should he deal with his aunt's family? People are always so helpless sometimes. After all, it was still a kind of family bond. He couldn't just put a knife in front of his aunt and the others to make them stop, could he?

Chu Tian didn't turn back to see what would happen in the forest. He knew that Tian Yangsheng wouldn't bother to kill someone who couldn't resist. Just a few steps out of the forest, Tian Yangsheng actually followed him, silently trailing behind Chu Tian as if he would follow him wherever he went. Chu Tian stopped, turned around, and asked curiously, "Tian Yangsheng, why are you following me? Are you looking for another chance to kill me? Didn't you say you'd never kill me again?"

Tian Yangsheng looked at Chu Tian with a calm gaze and said a few words, one by one, "You saved me. I want to follow you."

Chu Tian was quite surprised. Follow him? What did that mean? Tian Yangsheng seemed to see what was on Chu Tian's mind and said something that Chu Tian could hardly believe, "My life is yours. I'll be with you as long as I'm alive. If I die, you'll still live."

Chu Tian felt rather哭笑不得. This Tian Yangsheng was really strange. Just moments ago, they were fighting each other to the death, and now he wanted to give his life to him and seemed so determined. Chu Tian shook his head and said, "I don't want your life. You should go out and make your own way. With your skills, you're bound to achieve great things in the future." Chu Tian was being sincere. Indeed, no matter where Tian Yangsheng was placed, he would shine and make remarkable achievements. In ancient times, he would definitely be a fierce general.

Seeing that Chu Tian wouldn't let him follow, Tian Yangsheng sighed and slid his black machete towards his neck, apparently intending to commit suicide to return the favor. Chu Tian was shocked. Without thinking, he rushed forward and clamped the cold, black machete. He let out a long sigh and said, "Why do you do this? Why go to such extremes?"

Tian Yangsheng didn't seem to realize he was attempting suicide. He said calmly, "You don't want my life, so I'm returning it to you." Tian Yangsheng always spoke in a calm and concise manner.

Chu Tian gave a bitter smile, feeling rather at a loss. But it was better to accept Tian Yangsheng's following than to let him commit suicide here. Chu Tian felt that his heart was getting softer. He said helplessly, "Fine, from now on, you follow me and do everything as I say." The reason Chu Tian wanted Tian Yangsheng to obey him was to prevent him from killing people whenever he was unhappy.

Tian Yangsheng nodded and said one word, "Okay!" Then he stood silently beside Chu Tian.

Chu Tian suddenly wanted to ask Tian Yangsheng where he came from, who taught him his skills, and why he became a killer. But he knew that if he asked, although Tian Yangsheng wouldn't refuse to answer, he would feel like he was prying into someone's privacy. So he suppressed his curiosity, sighed, looked into the distance, and slowly walked towards Fenglai Pavilion.

Chu Tian took a step, and Tian Yangsheng followed suit, sticking to Chu Tian like a shadow, while remaining extremely alert.

Fenglai Pavilion seemed rather quiet tonight. The noisy restaurant and food stalls from the past seemed to have disappeared completely, and even the streetlights were dimmer. The footsteps of Chu Tian and Tian Yangsheng on the road were particularly clear, each step echoing, disturbing the tranquility of the night sky.

As soon as Chu Tian and Tian Yangsheng stepped onto the third floor of Fenglai Pavilion, more than twenty people immediately emerged and charged towards them in a well - trained manner. Tian Yangsheng's figure flashed, and he stood in front of Chu Tian. Without even drawing his knife, he walked through the crowd of twenty as if they weren't there. With each step he took, someone would howl and someone would fall and fly out. Moments later, all of them were lying on the ground, curling up their bodies, afraid to block the way of Tian Yangsheng and Chu Tian. The people in front of them were really terrifying. Their strikes were fierce and accurate. They couldn't even touch the other person's body before they were in pain and fell to the ground.

Chu Tian suddenly realized that having Tian Yangsheng as an assistant was actually quite good. At least he didn't have to deal with these hooligans so strenuously. Chu Tian walked familiarly into the 'Phoenix' private room and saw Heizi sitting sadly at a table. There was a shiny knife on the table, a bottle of wine, and a large bowl filled with wine.

When Heizi saw Chu Tian enter with Tian Yangsheng, he knew that what he had done was probably known to Chu Tian. He regretted that he always had a glimmer of hope when faced with money. He clearly knew that Chu Tian was not someone to be messed with, but when faced with the 500,000 yuan in cash that Chu Tian's aunt had placed in front of him, he decided to take the risk. Heizi suddenly saw Tian Yangsheng beside Chu Tian and couldn't help but shiver. He didn't know Tian Yangsheng. He had only found Tian Yangsheng through a killer intermediary. Now seeing him follow Chu Tian closely, he knew he must be a master. He feared he wouldn't have a good outcome tonight.

Heizi forced a smile. Before Chu Tian could speak, he said, "Brother Chu, I was greedy for money. I deserve to die. I shouldn't have taken the 500,000 yuan from your aunt to hire someone to kill you. Now, I'll give you an explanation." After that, Heizi picked up the wine in the bowl, gulped it down, pulled out the knife on the table, and with fear in his eyes, he slashed hard at his left hand. With a "clang," Heizi's left hand fell to the ground, and blood gushed from the wound.

"Brother Chu, is this enough of an explanation for you?" Heizi endured the pain, pushed away the hooligan who wanted to help him up, and said to Chu Tian, "Is it enough?"

Chu Tian didn't say anything. He looked coldly at Heizi's act. If he wasn't tough - hearted, Heizi would think that hiring a killer and cutting off a hand that could be reattached was enough to make amends. He might try to harm him again in the future.

"Yangsheng, cut off the hand he's holding the knife with!" Chu Tian said calmly, as if he was saying something very ordinary.

Tian Yangsheng's eyes sparkled. He stepped forward, and with a flash of the knife, he then followed Chu Tian and slowly walked towards the door.

Heizi didn't feel the pain at first, but then he found that the knife in his hand was out of his control and had fallen to the ground. His right hand was also cut off. Heizi then felt the pain. His eyes were filled with fear and relief. He was afraid that Chu Tian was more ruthless than he had imagined. He was relieved that he had at least saved half of his life.
