"You are an enigmatic person." Belgarath said, driving the car and looking ahead.

Xu Taiping sat in the front passenger seat and looked out the window. He was silent and didn't answer.

"Logically speaking, Su Yaozu's death is much more beneficial to you than saving him." Belgarath said again.

"I'm not what you think I am." Xu Taiping withdrew his gaze, looked at the old wolf and said sincerely, "I have my own perseverance."

"Persistence? Moral? " Belgarath asked.

"Since we've drunk the blood and wine together, we should do some things. Even though I'm not going to deal with him, I can't just watch him die." Xu Taiping said.

"Then maybe all of us really misjudged you." Belgarath said.

"Yes." Xu Taiping nodded.

As the car drove out of Jiangyuan University, Xu Taiping realized that he had already resigned from here. Embarrassed, he said, "Wait for me for a bit, let me give Jin Xuanxuan a call."

With that, Xu Taiping picked up his phone and called Xia Jinxuan, asking for her current location.

Xia Jinxuan wasn't at the hotel, but instead went to her best friend's house, the place where Xu Taiping had eaten Xia Jinxuan for the first time.

"Sorry for the trouble, Brother Wolf." Xu Taiping hung up and said.

"It's fine. There's nothing to do anyway." Old Wolf laughed, taking Xu Taiping to Xia Jinxuan's best friend's residence. He then watched Xu Taiping go upstairs before turning around and returning to Number 32, Garden Road.

Xu Taiping knocked on Xia Jinxuan's best friend's door and walked in.

"I heard that Su Yaozu was almost killed by Mao Shao Wang today?" Xia Jinxuan curiously asked while holding a cup of ice cream.

"Yes." Xu Taiping nodded.

"All of your blood belongs to Su Yaozu?" Xia Jinxuan asked.

"Mm, I'm going to take a bath. Prepare some clothes for me." Xu Taiping walked into the bathroom as he spoke.

"Alright!" Xia Jinxuan nodded, turned around and walked into the room. She opened Xu Taiping's luggage, picked up a set of clean clothes for him, and put them outside the bathroom.

The sound of water flowing could be heard. Xia Jinxuan held the ice cream and looked at the TV.

It was eight o'clock in the evening and her favorite TV show was playing.

For some reason, as Xia Jinxuan watched, she felt sleepy and slowly fell asleep.

Under the night sky, a figure quietly left Xia Jinxuan's best friend's house. This figure was wearing black tight-fitting clothes, and easily jumped from the top of one building to the top of another.

The street below was lit by neon lights, but the roof was dark.

This figure was like a fairy as he moved through the night.

Ten minutes later, the figure landed on the rooftop of Villa Area 32, Garden Road. He casually dodged all the sentries and then quietly opened the window on the third floor before landing on the ground.

Moonlight shone on his back, creating a long shadow. This shadow fell on Su Yaozu who was on the bed.

Su Yaozu was sleeping, so he didn't know that a person had already arrived in his room.

The subordinate outside the room had a gun in his arms and was looking around vigilantly.

This figure silently walked to Su Yaozu's bedside and looked at him.

The sleeping Su Yaozu seemed to have noticed something, and he opened his eyes. Following that, a hand stretched over and removed the breathing mask on his face.

Su Yaozu's eyes abruptly enlarged and he fiercely inhaled a breath of air. Just as he was about to shout out, a wet tissue that was stained with water covered his mouth and nose.

Su Yaozu's breath came to a sudden stop. The tissue slightly caved in, but it did not break.

Su Yaozu's body tried really hard to struggle, but because of his serious injuries, he was almost unable to move.

The black shadow took out another wet tissue and covered Su Yaozu's face.

The wet tissue constantly swelled up and then sunk down. This continued for around a minute before Su Yaozu's body started to spasm. The black shadow that was standing in front of him also pulled down his mask.

When Su Yaozu saw that person's face, his pupils abruptly enlarged.

Xu Taiping looked at Su Yaozu expressionlessly as if he was looking at a dead man.

His eyes, which were filled with fear, were filled with confusion and doubt. It seemed that no matter what, he couldn't understand why Xu Taiping would come here to kill him. If Xu Taiping wanted him dead, then wouldn't saving him be enough?

"I know you're confused." Xu Taiping said softly, "I can't let you die over there, because no one would want me to wash out the crow's pot, so I saved you."

At this point, Xu Taiping smiled and said, "Thank you for letting your subordinates have a good impression of me. This way, it'll be very convenient for me to use their words in the future."

Su Yaozu's pupils suddenly shrank. He raised his hand with all his might and grabbed Xu Taiping's hand. It was as if he wanted to grab Xu Taiping.

"When you became my enemy, you were destined to die. Although after this incident, you might treat me as a friend, but I have never treated you as a friend and I don't need a friend. Thus, from a personal perspective, I also wish for your death." As Xu Taiping spoke, he took out another wet tissue. This time, he did not cover Su Yaozu's nose and mouth, but rather his eyes.

"I don't like your eyes. "Oh right, after you leave, I will take your Baolong District and Hui'an District with you." Xu Taiping said.

Su Yaozu's body violently trembled a few times. His upper body lifted up a bit, and then as if he had been deflated, he landed on the bed.

Since then, Su Yaozu had completely died.

Xu Taiping calmly put away the wet tissue on Su Yaozu's face. Then he used a dry tissue to wipe the water stains off Su Yaozu's face, then he put the breath mask on Su Yaozu's face.

After doing all of this, Xu Taiping raised his hand to feel the pulse on Su Yaozu's neck. After confirming that Su Yaozu was dead, he tidied up the cup on Su Yaozu's body, then turned around and left Su Yaozu's room.

Xia Jinxuan didn't know why she'd suddenly gone to sleep, but when she woke up, the first commercial had just been inserted into the television.

This commercial was usually inserted at 8: 15 PM. Xia Jinxuan rubbed her eyes and estimated that she had slept for 15 minutes.

"Go in and sleep." Wearing a clean set of clothes, Xu Taiping walked to Xia Jinxuan's side and picked her up.

Xia Jinxuan wrapped her arms around Xu Taiping's neck and said, "The matter of the house has already been decided. I'll have my people set up some more decorations for the house later, and we can move in very quickly. We'll stay with my best friend for the next few days, and she won't be able to come back for a while outside the country."

"Yes." Xu Taiping nodded and carried Xia Jinxuan into the room, placing her on the bed.

Xia Jinxuan yawned, closed her eyes and continued sleeping.

Xu Taiping covered Xia Jinxuan with a blanket and left the room. He walked to the side of the TV and pulled out a black hard drive like item from the screen.

The screen of the television flickered. It went from the previous commercial to the ending song of the television series.

Xu Taiping looked at his watch. It was 8: 45.

Xu Taiping walked over to the tea table, picked up the kettle and walked into the kitchen. He poured two-thirds of the water in the kettle, then walked over to the tea table and put the kettle on the socket to boil.

A few minutes later, the water in the kettle boiled. Xu Taiping walked to his suitcase and took out a pot of tea. He walked back to the tea table, grabbed some tea and put it in the kettle.

After the tea was boiled for about half a minute, Xu Taiping took the teapot out of the socket, went to the kitchen and poured himself a bowl of tea.

The tea was still boiling. Xu Taiping did not feel warm at all. He picked up the bowl and took a sip, then leaned back comfortably on the sofa and let out a long breath.

Xu Taiping drank a few more mouthfuls of tea before placing the bowl on the table. Then he lay down on his side on the sofa and closed his eyes.

This night was destined to not be a peaceful one.

In the whole of Jiang Yuan City, tens of thousands of gang members from the White Hawk Gang had taken to the streets to find the whereabouts of Mao Shao. All the highways and ports outside Jiang Yuan City had been deployed by the police forces of Jiang Yuan City.

The people at the helm were searching for the Shao Shao Shao as if they were crazy, because as long as they could grab the Shao Shao, they would be able to take down the Xi'an district and become the successor to Xia Jiang.

Under such a huge temptation, the people at the helm had already completely forgotten about their old relationship with Mao Shao Shao. They were like hungry wolves that had smelled the scent of meat, desperately trying to find it.

Amongst everyone else, only Xu Taiping was the quietest. None of Xu Taiping's subordinates went out to look for a shawl, Zhou Xiaoyu was at the Palace of Extreme Pleasures supervising the progress of the renovation, Old Dog was playing in the nightclub, and Sun Dabao was drinking with his subordinates.

Xu Taiping seemed to have no interest in Huian District at all, in stark contrast to the other leaders.

At half past one in the morning, Xu Taiping received a call from Wolf.

Old Wolf only said a few words on the phone.

"Su Yaozu is dead."

"I know." Xu Taiping said, "I'll be there immediately."

Ten minutes later, Xu Taiping appeared at 32 Flower Garden Road.

At this moment, at 32 Flower Garden Road, there were at least several hundred people gathered. These subordinates of Su Yaozu also found out about Su Yaozu's death in the morning and all gathered here.

"Boss." Zhou Xiao Yu, who had received the news and was waiting here, quickly came over when she saw Xu Taiping.

"Tell us this, no matter what, we must bring along those we can kill." Xu Taiping looked at Zhou Xiao Yu and said, "If Su Yaozu had brought his subordinates yesterday, perhaps he wouldn't have died today."

"Yes." Zhou Xiaoyu nodded and said, "However, I never would have thought that Mao Shao Zu would actually attack him."

"Go in." Xu Taiping walked into the house. Mobile users please browse and read, better reading experience.
