The Murderer Among Us

"Su Ming, just as I underestimated you, you've underestimated me in many ways too!" Zhang Jiaming smiled, neither confirming nor denying.

"It seems that your line of work often involves these shady dealings, doesn't it? Maybe you should consider quitting?"

Ignoring Zhang Jiaming, Su Ming turned to Lin Yixue and asked.

"Not really, it's just an isolated incident. I happened to stumble upon it. If I don't do this, will you take care of me?"

Lin Yixue laughed, her smile as captivating as a field of blooming flowers.

"Sure! No problem, two meals a day, guaranteed!"

"Tsk! You think I can be taken care of with just two meals a day?"

"Then I'm out of ideas. My abilities are limited, so you'll have to find your own way."

"Hmph... heartless man!"

Lin Yixue pouted, clearly unhappy.

However, their disregard for the others around them thoroughly enraged Luo Bo.

"Do you two think we're invisible?"

"Get them! Take out those three boys and capture the girl!"

The four burly men didn't waste any more words and quickly approached.

"Luo Bo! Do you really think you have me figured out?"

Lin Yixue's expression turned cold, and she subtly tapped on her phone, sending a message.

"Heh... if you decided to act, did you think I'd be unprepared? The people you brought with you are now busy elsewhere!"

As Luo Bo spoke, a hint of panic finally appeared on Lin Yixue's face.

"Young man, I told you not to interfere, but you wouldn't listen. Now, don't blame us!"

By then, the four men had closed in, one of them reaching out to grab Su Ming.

"Bastard!"

"Ming Ge, be careful!"

Li Gao and Gao Xiang immediately acted, picking up chairs and hurling them at the men.

But the four seemed to have anticipated this. Two of them casually caught the flying chairs and tossed them aside.

The man who grabbed Su Ming succeeded, but as he tried to make his next move, he found he couldn't proceed.

He looked at Su Ming and was met with eyes as fierce as a wild beast's, staring him down.

A presence he had never felt before enveloped him, like a knife at his throat.

"Take your dirty hands off me!"

Su Ming's voice was icy.

The next moment, the burly man felt his arm being seized.

A terrifying force surged through his arm.

"Huh?"

The man froze, trying to pull away, but to his horror, no matter how hard he tried, it was futile.

"Crack!"

A sharp sound of bone breaking echoed.

Intense pain swept through him.

"Ahhh!"

The burly man screamed, collapsing to the ground.

"Third Brother!"

"Damn it, what did you do, punk!"

One of the burly men shouted, charging at Su Ming with a punch aimed at his face.

Su Ming's eyes remained calm. He sidestepped easily, avoiding the punch.

In the next second, Su Ming threw a punch, his index finger slightly protruding from his half-clenched fist.

"Boom!"

The punch landed directly on the man's throat.

A strange scene unfolded. The man's eyes filled with terror, and he fell backward, stiff as a board.

"Damn it, what did you do?"

Zhang Jiaming was clearly shocked, staring at Su Ming in horror.

"Nothing much, just made him choke a bit. He won't die."

Su Ming answered nonchalantly.

With that, he turned and charged at another burly man.

"Fourth Brother, be careful!"

An alarmed shout rang out, and the fourth man immediately retreated.

But Su Ming was too fast. In a blink, he was in front of him, throwing a punch at his face.

The burly man reacted quickly, raising his arm to block.

However, Su Ming's punch suddenly changed direction, hitting him squarely in the stomach.

"Ugh!"

Severe pain struck, and the man instinctively hunched over.

At that moment, Su Ming's elbow slammed into his temple.

The man's vision went black, and he passed out.

In mere moments, Su Ming had taken down two men, and the first one who had grabbed him was sitting on the ground, clutching his arm, clearly incapacitated.

"Nice suits, but they're nothing but paper tigers!"

Su Ming shook his fists, his gaze casually falling on the last burly man.

Zhang Jiaming was dumbfounded, incredulously looking at Su Ming.

Is this guy a monster? How could he not know he was this strong before?

Luo Bo was also stunned, his face full of disbelief.

Four specially trained individuals, unable to handle even a single confrontation. Is this guy even human?

Lin Yixue's beautiful eyes sparkled with amazement, as if she were seeing Su Ming for the first time.

While they were in shock, Su Ming moved again, instantly approaching the last burly man.

The man was subdued without even a chance to react, passing out.

"Luo Bo, Zhang Jiaming, sometimes, being too confident is not a good thing!"

Su Ming's voice brought everyone back to reality.

By then, Su Ming was already walking towards Luo Bo and Zhang Jiaming.

"Y-you, what are you doing? Don't come any closer!"

Zhang Jiaming trembled, backing away until he hit a table, unable to retreat further.

"Su Ming, I admit defeat. Let's call it quits, shall we?"

Luo Bo appeared more composed, his eyes fixed on Su Ming.

Su Ming was slightly taken aback, not because of anything else, but because Luo Bo's gaze gave him a familiar feeling.

Yes, it was familiar. His military experience told him that such a look shouldn't be on an ordinary person.

Only someone who has shed blood can have such a gaze.

"Has he killed before?"

A chilling thought flashed through Su Ming's mind.

"Ding! Choice triggered!"

"Option 1: Bring criminal Lu Mingliang to justice, rewarded with 30% shares of Hongda Real Estate and full responsibility for the Pear Garden project."

"Option 2: Pretend to be unaware and use this as leverage for illegal gains, rewarded with 100 million in cash."

"Lu Mingliang? Who is Lu Mingliang? Could it be... him?"

Su Ming looked at Luo Bo in disbelief.

"Ding! System prompt: Luo Bo's real name is Lu Mingliang. He once wiped out a family of three in one night and fled. After plastic surgery and gaining weight, he changed his identity and lived freely."

"Murder and cover-up! There are actually people like this?"

Su Ming was deeply shocked. He thought such things only happened in movies.

But today, he had encountered it.

A great anger welled up in Su Ming's heart.

At that moment, Zhang Jiaming quietly tried to move, but Su Ming saw through it instantly.

Without a word, Su Ming closed in on Zhang Jiaming and punched him.

"Ahhh!"

Zhang Jiaming only managed to scream before he was sent flying, crashing into the ground two meters away, curled up.
