That Night (2)

"What exactly is this...?" Li Wei looked at his hands, a surge of hope rising in his heart. But soon, he saw that the driver, whose head was covered in blood, had actually woken up, wiped the blood from his face, and began to curse loudly.

"Not dead?" Li Wei's heart sank.

The kidnappers breathed a sigh of relief. They thought to themselves, "Who can smash a car window with a rock and still kill someone? Obviously, that person was just lucky and happened to smash the window. Any man with a little strength could do that. As for why he was so accurate, it must have been a coincidence."

"Who dares to hit me? Third brother, fourth brother, go and catch that little brat for me, I'll make sure he's dead!" The driver, whose head was covered in blood from being hit by a rock, had a ferocious expression. Immediately, two robbers ran out of the car and pounced on Li Wei.

The two robbers were clearly trained and extremely strong. Li Wei was subdued in just a couple of moves and dragged into the car. The car then accelerated and sped away.

Inside the car, Li Wei was struck hard on the head with a blunt object and immediately lost consciousness. Xue Yan's eyes flashed with worry. Her status was different; in this world, there were very few people who dared to kidnap her. However, anyone who dared to do so was definitely not an ordinary person. Although the kidnappers in front of her were masked, they were clearly well-trained and perhaps even soldiers.

One of the robbers on the bus seemed to notice Xue Yan's expression and gave a sinister smile, "Miss Xue, don't make wild guesses. You'll find out what's going on in a moment. We're just doing this job for someone else. After we finish this one, we'll go abroad and never come back."

Xue Yan thought to herself that this was indeed the case, but no matter who these people were, they would never dare to do anything to her. Otherwise, even if they ran to the ends of the earth, they would not escape destruction.

With something to rely on, Xue Yan regained her composure. She glanced at Li Wei, who was lying motionless in the carriage, and frowned.

"Hey, you can tie me up, but release this guy. He's just an ordinary person!"

"Miss Xue, we brothers have been following you for days. With your status, it's quite a peculiar taste of you to be looking for ordinary people like this. Hehe, but this kid injured one of our men, we can't just let him go. At least we should gouge out his eyes and cut off one of his arms and one of his legs..."

"You dare!" A murderous glint flashed in Xue Yan's eyes. However, the people sitting in the car all had several lives on their hands, so why would they be afraid of a girl's threat?

At this moment, a man who had been sitting silently in the passenger seat suddenly said, "Alright, once we get there, we'll deliver Miss Xue to the client and then leave this country. As for this kid, we'll kill him later and bury him somewhere!"

The man spoke in a cold tone, seemingly possessing considerable authority; after he finished speaking, no one else uttered a word.

The car gradually drove away from the city and into the suburbs, then stopped in front of a villa. Xue Yan was lifted out of the car, and a group of people were already waiting at the villa's gate, led by a young man.

Upon seeing this person, Xue Yan understood what was going on.

"Chen Dong, is that you?"

This Chen Dong family is even better off than mine. His father and grandfather are both top figures in the military and political circles. No wonder those desperados dared to attack even though they knew my identity. It turns out they had the Chen Family to rely on.

Upon seeing Xue Yan, a glint of desire flashed in Chen Dong's eyes, and it grew stronger and stronger.

Li Wei, who was already unconscious, was naturally unaware of all this. In the darkness, he vaguely saw a huge Book of Heaven, like a giant planet, emitting a powerful aura. The Book of Heaven was covered with thick chaotic energy, and when Li Wei approached to take a closer look, that chaotic energy suddenly dissipated.

On a single sheet of paper, some words were printed. Li Wei glanced at them and felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His mind suddenly cleared, and he abruptly retreated from the darkness.

When Li Wei opened his eyes, he found himself still lying in the car. There were two people chatting inside, and outside, he could hear the sound of someone digging with a shovel.

"They wanted to kill me to cover their tracks!" Li Wei immediately recalled his previous experience; Xue Yan wasn't in the car, and he didn't know where she had been taken.

Furthermore, Li Wei could feel that his hands and feet were bound. It could be said that he was now in a desperate situation. In this desolate wilderness, unless Miracle occurred, he was certain to die.

"If I were the ordinary Li Wei, I should be dead, but..."

Li Wei suddenly smiled, and with a flick of his arm, the wire binding his hands and feet snapped. At that moment, there was no longer any confusion in Li Wei's eyes, only composure and certainty.

Li Wei sat up and wiped the bloodstains still on his head. His movements and expression were extremely relaxed, as if he were at home, not in a place where he was about to die.

Soon, the two people left in the car noticed something was wrong, and when they turned around, their expressions changed drastically.

"You... how could you..."

Although the two men were ruthless killers, at this moment, they couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines. The wire that had just bound Li Wei's hands and feet was twisted on by the two of them themselves; not even an elephant could break free, let alone a person.

Furthermore, Li Wei's relaxed demeanor made the two men feel a little strange; he seemed completely unafraid. However, when they saw the look in Li Wei's eyes, they had a rather absurd feeling.

The person in front of me is not the same person as the one from before!

One of the robbers reacted very quickly; almost instantly, he pulled a dark-colored pistol from his pocket and pointed it at Li Wei.

Li Wei on the other side maintained the same expression, as if he were the one pointing a gun at the other.

Under this extremely strange pressure, the robber pulled the trigger. He knew that no matter what the other person did, they would be completely crushed by the bullet and become a cold corpse.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out, and a bullet shot out. However, Li Wei quickly turned his head, and the bullet grazed Li Wei face, shattering the headrest behind his head and the car window.

"So slow!" Li Wei said truthfully. The two robbers opposite him were already dumbfounded, speechless. They had just seen this person dodge bullets?

How is that possible?

Soon, the men digging the pit outside were also startled by the gunshot and ran back to their car.

"Hey, Sixth Brother, didn't I tell you? No shooting! Are you deaf?" a burly man shouted menacingly. But when he opened the car door and saw the situation inside, he seemed to have been suddenly choked and couldn't speak.

The burly men behind him all looked the same.

Li Wei remained seated in the car, looking helpless. In front of him, two robbers looked terrified, one of them pointing a pistol at the other, though his hand holding the gun was trembling slightly.

"Sixth Brother, what... what's going on?" The people outside the car also realized something was wrong and reached for their lower backs.

The robber, nicknamed "Sixth Brother," suddenly yelled and started pulling the trigger repeatedly.

However, Li Wei easily dodged every single bullet; in fact, Li Wei buttocks never left his seat.

"Sixth Brother, stop!"

The burly man outside the car felt a buzzing in his head, but he quickly shouted at the man. The man looked like he had seen a ghost, but under his boss's loud shout, he finally regained a bit of his senses.

Now, the robbers looked at Li Wei with nothing but fear in their eyes.

"What? Not going to shoot?" Li Wei seemed completely unconcerned about the other party's previous actions, his expression as if he were a supreme god seeing a lowly ant challenging him.

He didn't bother to respond.

The leader of the robbers was no ordinary person either. He immediately saw something in Li Wei's eyes, and with a thud, he knelt on the ground.

This startled his companions.

"Boss, what... what are you doing?"

"This kid's weird, let's just shoot together..."

"Bullshit!" The gang leader jumped up and slapped the henchman who had suggested firing the gun to the ground. "You lot, all of you, kneel down! Kneel down now!"

Soon, all the robbers knelt on the ground, although most of them didn't understand what had happened or why they were kneeling before the hostage.

The gang leader remained silent, kneeling before Li Wei as if waiting for something.

After a long pause, Li Wei nodded slightly and asked, "Tell me, where did you take Xue Yan?"

The bandit leader, overjoyed, recounted Chen Dong's story without hesitation. The other bandits nearby were all taken aback.

"Boss, you've gone mad! You betrayed Young Master Chen! We might not survive tonight!"

The bandit leader glared at his men but remained silent, as if he dared not speak unless Li Wei told him to.

Suddenly, Li Wei laughed, "Impressive, no wonder you can be the leader of this group. Alright, let's forget about today's matter, you can leave!"

Upon hearing Li Wei's words, the bandit leader was overjoyed. He quickly got up, grabbed his men, and started walking. They walked for several kilometers before the bandit leader stopped.

The subordinates all looked puzzled. "Boss, what exactly is going on...?"

"Stop talking, don't ask anything. That person is not someone we can mess with. He's not even human... You'll never know the consequences of offending him. Fortunately, in his eyes, we're no different from ants. He has no intention of killing us, otherwise..."

The robbers were all dumbfounded. One of them, still unwilling to give up, said, "But what about Young Master Chen...?"

Suddenly, the gang leader flew into a rage, yelling, "That trash Chen Dong is nothing! I'm telling you, whether he'll even survive tonight is still unknown. Alright, stop talking nonsense and get out of here! We're never coming back!"

Meanwhile, Li Wei sat in the car, muttering to himself, "Creation is mortal... Creation is mortal... So that's what the words in the Book of Heaven mean!"
