Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

Chapter 509

Hua Yu watched Li Lun run away as fast as the wind, and his tense face finally relaxed, revealing a hint of a smile. He shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "This idiot! Is he afraid that I will eat him?"

Zhang Qiling, who was standing by, heard this and said with a smile, "Your expression just now really looked like you were going to eat him alive!"

Hua Yu rolled his eyes at Zhang Qiling and said unhappily, "How can I be that scary? But then again, what's the situation with Xiaohuaer now?" He suddenly remembered that he hadn't contacted Xie Yuchen for some time.

Zhang Qiling also shook his head, indicating that he had not received any news from Xie Yuchen either. "I guess he is racking his brains to think of ways to deal with those opponents."

So, what exactly happened to Xie Yuchen?

It turned out that since the accidental discovery of that special arrow, Xie Yuchen had developed a strong interest in this matter. He knew very well the uniqueness and rarity of this arrow, so he decided to secretly send a large number of people to investigate which clubs in Yanjing were equipped with this arrow.

Although Hei Xia Zi had retired from the underworld, he still had one or two capable subordinates under his command. After several days of hard work, Hei Xia Zi finally got a detailed investigation report. He proudly took the report and walked towards Xie's house with a swagger, not noticing that several people were following him stealthily.

Did Hei Xiazi really not notice it? Of course not! He just wanted to tease them! After all, life day after day, year after year is too boring. For someone like him, he really needs some stimulation to fill the emptiness in life.

The people following Hei Xia Zi saw him turn into an alley and immediately followed him. However, in the blink of an eye, Hei Xia Zi disappeared without a trace, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth!

"Where are the people!" one of them screamed.

"How could such a living person just disappear like that?" another person shouted anxiously.

"What are you still standing there for! Go find it!" The leading man was furious and yelled at the others.

So, everyone searched around the empty alley like headless flies, but they didn't even see any trace of Hei Xia Zi.

"What the hell is going on?" The leader looked at the empty alley and was furious.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a chuckle from above his head. He looked up suddenly and saw that Hei Xiazi had appeared on the wall above his head without him noticing, holding a bag of famous cakes from the south of the city in his hand, and looking at them with a half-smile.

"Are you looking for me, Hei Ye?" With these slightly joking words, Hei Xia Zi stood up straight and looked down at the person who was following him in the alley.

Seeing this, the man sneered and said sarcastically: "Hei Ye is really capable! He can actually pass through the wall!"

Facing the other party's sarcasm, Hei Xia Zi didn't care. He smiled and responded calmly: "Thank you very much! It's not too much to have a few skills to rely on when traveling in the world!"

Before he finished speaking, Hei Xiazi suddenly flashed and jumped down from the wall like a ghost. His movements were as fast as lightning, catching people off guard.

Before Hei Xia Zi could stand firmly on his feet, he kicked the man in the chest like a violent storm. The kick was so powerful that it seemed to contain endless strength. The man was kicked backwards and hit the wall heavily, then fell down like a kite with a broken string.

Hei Xia Zi's attack did not stop there. He turned around and swept his leg sideways, knocking down the two men in black who were approaching from the left and right in an instant like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves.

The man who was kicked away by Hei Xiazi struggled to get up from the ground, brushed off the footprints left by Hei Xiazi on his chest, stared at Hei Xiazi viciously, and said with gritted teeth: "As expected of you, Nan Xia, who is as famous as the head of the Zhang family, you really have some strength! But no matter how capable you are, you have to come with us today!"

The two men in black on the left and right were like puppets that felt no pain. From the beginning, they were being beaten by Hei Xia Zi, and now they are beating Hei Xia Zi. With the joining of that man, the battle became more and more stalemate.

After an incense stick of time, the two men in black did not even have their breathing disordered, as if they were programmed robots that would not get tired at all. Although Hei Xia Zi was very capable, in a battle of this intensity, he went from being at ease in the beginning to being a little overwhelmed.

Without waiting for Hei Xiazi to catch his breath, he was kicked again. Hei Xiazi fell to the ground sideways, his body sliding upwards until it hit the corner of the wall. With a dull impact, he almost heard the crackling sound of his bones breaking. Curled up in a dark corner with flying dust, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a grimace.

Hei Xia Zi quickly got up and looked at the blood on his hands. "Hmph! I won't play with you guys anymore!" After saying that, he turned around and ran backwards. At the same time, he stomped his left foot hard on the ground, leaped up lightly, and jumped down from the two-person-high wall.

The man stopped the black-clothed man who wanted to chase after him, "Don't chase after a desperate enemy! After all, Yanjing is different from other places, and now that Hei Xiazi has been recruited, who knows what tricks he has waiting for us!"

When the news of Hei Xia Zi's attack reached Xie Yuchen's ears, Butler Xie looked at Xie Yuchen, who was concentrating on checking the company's financial statements, with concern, and asked cautiously: "Young Master, do you think we should send some people over to help Hei Ye?"

Xie Yuchen didn't even raise his head, but replied calmly: "Don't worry, although Hei Xiazi may not be able to defeat those people, it won't be a problem for him to escape."

After that, Xie Yuchen slowly closed the report in his hand and gently put it aside. Half of his face was illuminated by the light, while the other half was hidden in the shadow, making it difficult to see his true expression.

However, at this moment when light and darkness intertwined, the corners of Xie Yuchen's mouth slightly raised, revealing an imperceptible smile.

"But," he said in a low and somewhat cold voice, "it's not that easy to get away with hurting someone like this."

Butler Xie was obviously confused by what Xie Yuchen said. He blinked his eyes, looked at Xie Yuchen suspiciously, and asked, "Then...then what should we do?"

Xie Yuchen suddenly laughed heartily, as if he didn't care about the situation at all. He raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a teasing smile, and said, "Haha, what should we do? In my opinion, we should call the police! Just say that someone is here to cause trouble and gather a crowd to fight!"

When Butler Xie heard this, he was stunned. He widened his eyes and looked at Xie Yuchen in astonishment. His mouth opened slightly and he exclaimed: "Ah!"

Seeing this, Xie Yuchen's smile became more and more proud. He patted Butler Xie on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't be so surprised. This is Yanjing, not anywhere else! Those people actually had the guts to cause trouble in my base camp, so they must be prepared to bear the consequences!"

However, Steward Xie's worries were not dispelled. He frowned and said hesitantly: "But, if we do this, we will have..."

Xie Yuchen naturally understood the concerns of Butler Xie. The smile on his face faded slightly, revealing a hint of disdain. He said, "What are you afraid of? As long as the core members of our Xie Mansion are safe, it doesn't matter if some insignificant marginal figures go to jail. Could it be that our Xie family is afraid of the revenge of those insignificant little people?"

Butler Xie looked at Xie Yuchen's confident look, and his worries were gradually dispelled by his words. He nodded, as if he had figured out the reason, then turned and left, arranging relevant matters according to Xie Yuchen's instructions.

After Xie Yuchen waited for Butler Xie to leave, he slowly raised his head and looked at the report at hand. The dense numbers and words on the report seemed to be telling him some secrets.

He took a deep breath, then picked up the report again and studied it carefully. However, just as he was concentrating, the window of the study was suddenly opened, and a cool breeze blew in, making him shiver.

Then, a black figure rolled in from the window, rolling on the ground like a ball. Xie Yuchen frowned slightly, wondering who was so reckless.

When the black figure finally stopped, Xie Yuchen could see clearly that it was a black rat. The black rat was dirty and looked very miserable.

"Why are you so embarrassed? This is not like your usual style! Mr. Hei!" Xie Yuchen said jokingly with a smile on his face.

When Hei Xiazi heard Xie Yuchen's voice, his body trembled violently, and then he got up from the ground awkwardly. He patted the dust off his body and muttered, "It was just a momentary mistake!"

After saying that, Hei Xia Zi sat down on the sofa in the study, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away. He leaned against the back of the sofa, breathing heavily, and seemed to have not yet recovered from the embarrassment just now.

After a while, Hei Xia Zi finally recovered. He sat up straight and said to Xie Yuchen, "But I found something new over there in Pangu, two wooden men."

"Wooden man?" Xie Yuchen's eyes lit up. He was obviously very interested in this new discovery. "What do you mean?"

Hei Xia Zi adjusted his sitting position and described in detail: "Yes! They are two wooden men. They look no different from ordinary wooden men, but they have amazing fighting power. They don't feel pain, nor do they get tired. They are simply invincible!"

Xie Yuchen's face was as gloomy as water. He glanced at Hei Xiazi thoughtfully and said slowly, "Are you really not looking for an excuse for slacking off after the imperial edict?"

When Hei Xia Zi heard this, he was struck by lightning and his hair stood on end. He opened his eyes wide with disbelief on his face, "Hua Er Ye! What are you talking about? Don't you know how good my Kung Fu is? Every night..."

Before Hei Xia Zi could finish his words, Xie Yuchen suddenly attacked and covered his mouth like a gust of wind, forcing Hei Xia Zi to choke back the rest of his words.

"Shut up! You blind idiot!" Xie Yuchen growled, his eyes as cold as ice, as if he could shoot cold arrows. "Don't you know what you can and can't say?"

Hei Xia Zi was so frightened by Xie Yuchen's sudden cover that his whole body trembled. He looked at Xie Yuchen's eyes that were like shooting cold arrows, and instantly became timid like a deflated ball.

However, Hei Xiazi was a man who didn't mind doing anything. He rolled his eyes and immediately started to joke around. "Hey, Hua'er Ye, don't be angry! I just made a slip of the tongue! You are a magnanimous person, so don't bother with a blind man like me!"

As he spoke, Hei Xiazi grabbed Xie Yuchen's hand and placed it on his chest, "Oh! Look, my heart is about to jump out! Master Huaer, please don't mind my slip of the tongue!"

After Xie Yuchen glared at Hei Xia Zi, although he felt a little dissatisfied, he did not immediately pull out his hand that was tightly grasped by Hei Xia Zi. He stared at Hei Xia Zi, as if he wanted to see some clues from his expression.

After a moment of silence, Xie Yuchen slowly said, "Those two are probably puppets created by Qin Fuguang and his men using secret methods. However, the fact that they sent out two puppets to deal with you shows that you are not cheap!"

Hearing Xie Yuchen's words, Hei Xiazi immediately showed a smug smile on his face. He puffed out his chest, put on an arrogant look, and said, "Of course not! Huaer Ye, don't you see who I am? I am the famous Nan Xiazi!"

Xie Yuchen couldn't help but feel amused when he saw Hei Xiazi's arrogant look. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile, and said, "No matter how powerful you are, you are being beaten by others and you are running back in such a mess! What's the point?"

After saying that, Xie Yuchen turned around and sat back at his desk, no longer paying attention to Hei Xia Zi. He returned his attention to the pile of reports on the desk and began to read them carefully.

Hei Xiazi obviously heard the sarcasm in Xie Yuchen's words, and his face instantly turned ugly. He followed Xie Yuchen closely and muttered in dissatisfaction: "What did Huaerye say!"

As Hei Xia Zi spoke, he leaned on Xie Yuchen's chair unconvinced and continued to defend himself: "If they hadn't relied on their numbers, how could I, Hei Ye, be in such a mess!"

Xie Yuchen rolled his eyes at Hei Xia Zi in annoyance, "You discovered from the beginning that they were following you, why did you confront them head-on?"

Hei Xiazi smiled awkwardly, "It's because I've been too bored lately and feel like my body is rusty, that's why!"

Xie Yuchen snorted coldly, "But he is almost rusty. He was beaten and ran back home in embarrassment!"

Hei Xiazi pinched Xie Yuchen's shoulders flatteringly, "Master Huaer!"

Xie Yuchen shook off the goosebumps that had formed because of Hei Xiazi's ridiculous voice, "Alright! In a couple of days you'll be able to see online that a group of thugs recently appeared in Yanjing and have been arrested by the police!"

Hei Xiazi immediately grinned and said, "It's Huaer Ye who is really capable!"

Xie Yuchen sneered, "Do they think this is from a novel? I won't do anything illegal. Why would I do it myself when I have people ready?"
