Realizing his life was very likely about to end, He Laowu's heart tightened fiercely.
He quickly pulled out the handgun placed under his seat and spoke in a hurried tone.
"Drive, drive fast!"
Before the driver even had time to drive, he was rushed by the man standing in front who opened the car door and dragged him straight out of the vehicle.
Dazhuang raised and dropped his hand, chopping the driver's neck with a palm strike.
The driver collapsed to the ground with a bang, not even letting out a single groan, unclear whether he was dead or unconscious.
He Laowu wore a panicked expression, his heart leaping into his throat!
With such fast speed, he was certain these two men were psionic users!
The thing he feared had still happened!
Seeing the youth who had killed his four bodyguards standing outside the car window ready to pull open the rear door.
He immediately raised the gun in his hand.
Just as he was about to pull the trigger, the car door was opened and the handgun in his hand suddenly vanished into thin air.
The next second, a pitch-black muzzle pointed at his head!
"He Laowu, right? Let's chat outside!" Xu Chao placed his finger on the trigger, the muzzle extending inward to press against He Laowu's forehead.
On the rooftop, gazing at the situation below.
Qin Xun mustered his courage!
In the end, he still didn't dare jump straight down from the roof of this six-story building like Xu Chao and Dazhuang.
He turned around and took the stairs with Mengmeng.
On the pitted street, He Laowu knelt on the ground, pressing his palms together and begging the other party to spare his life!
Xu Chao crouched in front of He Laowu, toying with his large ears: "Growing this fat, you certainly haven't harmed few commoners, have you?"
As he spoke, he slapped He Laowu across the face, the powerful force directly knocking out one of He Laowu's front teeth!
He Laowu's head buzzed, and clutching his face, he didn't even dare harbor anger, looking just like an obedient dog.
Dazhuang stood to one side with his arms crossed: "So many lipstick marks on your face; you really know how to enjoy yourself."
"He Laowu!"
Seeing the teenager walking out of the building, He Laowu understood that his time was likely up.
Yet he still wanted to try again!
"Qin Xun, Qin Xun... don't kill me... I've treated you pretty well these past two years, haven't I?"
"Do you have any shame saying those words? Stop putting on an act, He Laowu; I know everything about what you've done!"
"It was that punk Lin Cheng who framed me, I didn't do anything!"
When people panic, especially when they are about to die, they may become incoherent.
He Laowu right now was just like that.
"Lin Cheng is already dead, and I haven't told you what he said to me yet-how do you know what he framed you for?"
"I... I..."
"Alright, don't be so nervous, I'm not here to kill you."
Qin Xun crouched down, drawing a dagger and pressing it against He Laowu's throat: "If you want to stay alive, take us out of the city!"
"Out of the city?" He Laowu swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "The whole city is on alert right now, there's no leaving the city without the District Chief's consent!"
"Don't play dumb with me! I know you have a way, and even if you don't, you'd better figure one out for me! Otherwise, if we can't get out of the city, you'll die too!"
Qin Xun moved slightly, the tip of the blade piercing the skin as a thin line of fresh blood flowed into He Laowu's chest.
"A way out of the city, let me think, let me think..." He Laowu trembled all over, even his heart shaking.
He desperately wanted to slap himself twice in the face!
He felt extreme remorse-why hadn't he stayed honestly in the noble district tonight instead of having to go play at the Drunken Moon House!
"Hurry up, we don't have time to wait for you to drag your feet. Within a minute, if you can't think of a way out of the city, then you die." Pure murderous intent appeared in Xu Chao's eyes.
"There is, there's a way out of the city... You two, disguise yourselves as my bodyguards." He Laowu glanced at Xu Chao and Dazhuang.
"Disguise ourselves as your bodyguards? Are you sure we won't be recognized?" Xu Chao glanced at Dazhuang, then looked back at He Laowu.
"No, no, as far as I know, they don't have your photos and aren't clear on what you look like, but Qin Xun is a bit tricky... Still, I've already figured it out: I'll just hide him in the trunk. The Guard Team members at the city gate all know me, and they've taken plenty of favors from me. I'll have a word with them, and they'll let us pass!"
"No, this method is too dangerous. What if they search us?" Dazhuang immediately rejected it: "The Guard Team aren't idiots. You leaving the city this late, they're bound to think there's a problem, and coupled with such special times, they might actually search!"
"Think of another way!" Xu Chao's tone was like an issued order.
"Another way..." Cold sweat streamed down He Laowu's forehead, his thoughts spinning wildly to save his life: "There is no other way, it has to be that exact method from just now. Even though they might indeed conduct a search, as long as I talk properly with them, they should give me face... If you want absolute insurance, then you can only get the District Chief's consent!"
Qin Xun thought for a moment, taking an old-fashioned push-button cell phone out of the inner pocket of He Laowu's clothes: "Then you'll call the District Chief."
There were cell phones in the Fallen Zone as well, but all communications were controlled by the nobles.
Only the nobles could afford to use mobile phones.
And even ordinary nobles could only call within their own district.
Phones capable of calling other districts-
Across all of 108, only a few people at the very top of the power structure had them.
Even He Laowu didn't have one.
"Huh? Call the District Chief?"
"You said we needed the District Chief's permission to leave, so call him and get his approval." Qin Xun smiled faintly. "You're the District Chief's loyal lackey, and you pay him a hefty tribute every month. Come up with a good excuse and talk it over with him. He should approve."
He Laowu paused, then nodded. "All right, I'll ask him. Let me think of a suitable reason first."
Xu Chao and Dazhuang exchanged a glance and were just about to speak when Qin Xun looked up and stopped them with a glance.
"Have you thought of one?" Qin Xun asked coldly.
"Yeah, yeah..."
He Laowu tried to calm himself, then dialed the District Chief.
At Xu Chao's direction, he turned on speakerphone.
"Behave yourself. If you dare tip him off, I'll kill you!"
He Laowu nodded and gestured to Qin Xun that everything was fine.
The call connected soon after.
"Hello?"
"District Chief, it's me. It's Laowu!"
"Laowu?"
"Yeah, Laowu. Can you hear me clearly?"
"Go on. What is it?"
"I need to go to District 107 early tomorrow morning to take care of something. I just picked up two young guys, and they've got a decent taste for fighting. I'm planning to take them to the arena over there for a couple of matches. But we need your approval to leave the city now, right? I wanted to ask if you could please call the Guard Team at the city gate and tell them to let me out."
"Now, or tomorrow morning?"
"Now. The matches are tomorrow morning, so we have to leave tonight!"
"About what time will you leave?"
He Laowu glanced at Qin Xun, then looked up at Xu Chao.
Seeing Xu Chao's hand signal, he replied, "Around one, I'd say."
"All right. I'll call them. I've been pretty busy these past couple of days, so don't call unless it's important. I don't want the line tied up."
"Of course, of course. I won't keep you from your rest. I just got a fine young woman the other day. I'll send her over sometime!"
He Laowu hung up politely.
Wiping the sweat from his face, he said, "The District Chief approved it. He'll call the Guard Team at the city gate."
"Thanks."
Qin Xun looked at He Laowu and flashed a sly smile.
Seeing Qin Xun's strange smile, He Laowu had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
Had this kid figured something out?
