Chapter 567: You Don’t Deserve to Explain, I Don’t Care to Listen — I’ll Smash You with One Blow!
......
On the other side.
Inside the White Ridge 749 investigator dormitory.
Of the two Wen brothers, one was watering plants by the windowsill, while the other was lounging on a beanbag sofa, fiddling with a QR code business card in his hand.
Wen Boyuan looked at the QR code, and for some reason, the events from their recent mission to the Rooster Sun Lady's Temple resurfaced in his mind.
He couldn't help but speak up.
"Brother, do you think this thing Secretary Fu told us to distribute is actually useful?"
Wen Jiayou continued watering the plants by himself, answering without turning his head: "It definitely has its uses."
"After all, since Grand Guardian came down here to work, he definitely needs to achieve something. He can't just return empty-handed after a strong start, right?"
"Even a new official needs to make three symbolic gestures, but there are only three. That's just how this new city is—it can't compare to the outside.""Out there, there are laws and discipline. But in this new city, whoever has power, influence, and the strongest fists makes the rules."
"They don't bother with that whole human rights system here. As long as you don't directly provoke Grand Guardian, nothing major will happen."
Wen Boyuan flipped the QR code over, shifting from lying flat to lying on his side, pulling a pillow to cushion his head.
"Hey bro, about that Rooster Sun Lady's Temple incident... if we get reported... wouldn't that... be directly provoking Grand Guardian?"
"Launching such a direct attack right in his face—we wouldn't become scapegoats, would we?"
Hearing this, Wen Jiayou's movements finally paused for a moment.
He stood by the windowsill thinking for a few seconds, then turned around, stroking his chin as he considered:
"Unlikely. Although that woman's husband died, her son's death hasn't been confirmed yet. There are still elderly relatives to support above them. It's a complete mess with many complicated matters."
"She wouldn't dare report us."
Though he said this, Wen Jiayou himself wasn't entirely confident.
Better safe than sorry.
The cost of making a mistake here was too high.
The two Fifth Restriction expert corpses hanging at the entrance of White Ridge 749 also conveyed in another way that Lu Ding was not someone to be trifled with.
Wen Boyuan sat up from the sofa: "You're right."
"Even if she does report it, Grand Guardian is so busy every day—where would he find time to deal with her? To be blunt, Grand Guardian handles major operations!"
"Like the Luo Family, the Zeng Family—these are all major families. Her trivial little matter would at most reach us."
"You agree, right bro?"
Wen Jiayou's expression darkened: "No, we still need to be careful. Later, later we'll go personally and just kill that woman to avoid any unexpected situations."
Wen Boyuan was stunned.
First I said she might report us, and you refuted me.
Then I followed your lead saying she wouldn't report, and you're still refuting me?
Are you a contrarian personality?
What exactly do you want me to say to satisfy you?
His face showed helplessness.
As the younger brother, Wen Boyuan spoke up: "Alright, alright, when should we go?"
BOOM!!!!!
A tremendous sound erupted.
The dormitory door, along with the door frame, and the entire wall where the door was installed, were completely shattered to pieces.
Lu Ding walked in from outside, hammer in hand.
Fu Xinghe followed behind him, holding up a phone recording video.
Lu Ding pointed his hammer at the standing Wen Jiayou: "Fuck your mother!!!!"
"You're going too damn far! Not doing your own job properly, getting someone's husband killed, and now you want to silence the witness too?"
"Goddamn it!!!!"
When the brothers saw that the visitor was actually Grand Duke Lu—who supposedly wouldn't handle 'minor matters'—they instantly panicked!!
"Gr... Grand Guardian, please let us explain......." Wen Jiayou waved his hands at the murderous-looking Lu Ding.
Just as he was about to speak.
They saw Lu Ding raise his hand into a claw shape, terrifying suction force erupting from it.
It pulled Wen Jiayou's body, making him instantly fly over.
During this process.
Lu Ding swung the hammer—which looked exactly like a construction sledgehammer—building up power.
Just as Wen Jiayou flew in front of him.
He struck with the hammer, the sense of power maximized!!!
It was as if a giant "DEATH" character came crashing toward Wen Jiayou.
"You're not worthy of explaining to me, I can't be bothered to listen!!!"
BOOM!!!!
One hammer strike.
Horizontal impact on the sternum, the hammerhead driven by immense force directly smashed into the flesh, blood, and bones of his chest.
CRACK CRACK........
It completely shattered, pierced through, and exploded Wen Jiayou's entire chest.
Because his chest was pulverized, his whole body, affected by the force mid-air, immediately flipped over, with his head facing forward.
At such a perfect angle.
Lu Ding followed up with a backhand upward swing of the hammer.
BOOM!!!!
His entire head burst like a watermelon, instantly smashed to pulp.
A final kick sent the headless corpse flying to smash into the wall, embedded so deeply it couldn't be pulled out.
Wen Boyuan, the younger brother, watched as his own brother was instantly killed in one encounter.
Beaten like a ragged doll, missing pieces here and there.
His legs turned to jelly from fear.
But fortunately, his mental fortitude wasn't too bad.
He immediately crashed headfirst through the window.
RUN!!!!
While flying, he kept looking back with a tearful voice: "Gr... Grand Guardian, please spare us! We'll never dare again! Even if we have no merit, we at least have hard..."
As he said this, he wiped away the tears that had gathered in his eyes from sheer terror and witnessing his elder brother's gruesome death before him.
But then...
Lu Ding, who had been standing in the room just moments before, had disappeared.
Only Fu Xinghe remained by the window, still holding up his phone recording.
Wen Boyuan felt a chill run down his spine.
The next moment.
His back suffered a heavy blow, BOOM!!!
Blood sprayed across the sky.
Lu Ding had somehow appeared behind him, one hammer strike directly shattering Wen Boyuan's spine!!!
Turning him into a folded human.
He plummeted downward toward White Ridge 749's square.
He landed heavily.
Blood spurted from his mouth.
Wen Boyuan kept trying to move forward using his elbows, leaving a long bloody trail on the ground.
Lu Ding landed nearby.
"Hard work? Hard work means when you're assigned a mission, you go there to collect bribes?"
The commotion had attracted many White Ridge 749 investigators.
Listening to their murmuring discussions.
"What happened here? Isn't that Wen Boyuan? Why did Grand Guardian beat him up like this?"
"He must have committed some offense and became Grand Guardian's scapegoat."
"Everyone quiet down, Grand Guardian is speaking."
"Right, right, everyone listen, listen carefully. Don't end up like him as scapegoats."
Ahead, Lu Ding's voice continued.
"Goddamn it, taking bribes is bad enough, but then you immediately exposed the person who filed the report, causing her husband's tragic death."
"Just now when I went to find you brothers, you were still discussing how to silence that man's wife!"
"I'm absolutely furious."
Lu Ding pointed at Wen Boyuan: "You and your brother—how poor you were growing up, have you forgotten all that?"
"You yourselves came from disadvantaged backgrounds, and now you've forgotten your roots? Can't empathize with your former selves anymore?"
