Chapter 159: Chu Tian Gets Beaten Up, Jiang Che’s Cunning
In a private room of a restaurant, Liu Hao and Chu Tian sat facing each other.
“Brother Tian, I really can’t get my hands on a sniper rifle.” Liu Hao sighed and said with a bitter smile.
For the past couple of days, under Chu Tian’s orders, he had been looking for a way to get a gun. But Jiuzhou was different from abroad, with strict gun control laws. It wasn’t something he could just obtain.
“If it can’t be done, then forget it.” Chu Tian frowned and said. Initially, to be on the safe side, he wanted to get a gun before seeking revenge on Jiang Che.
Since it was impossible to get one, he had no choice but to give up on that plan. He had been waiting for Liu Hao’s news these past few days. Since he couldn’t get a sniper rifle, he decided to storm Jiang Che’s Crouching Dragon Villa alone!
After all, he had a mid-stage Transformation cultivation level. This was his greatest confidence, so he wouldn’t fear a mere rich young master.
“I’m sorry, Brother Tian.” Liu Hao said guiltily. Failing to get the sniper rifle as expected by Chu Tian made him feel remorseful.
“It’s not your fault, there’s no need to feel guilty.” Chu Tian shook his head and then got up to leave, “I have some things to prepare for tonight.”
Liu Hao watched Chu Tian’s departing figure without stopping him. After drinking a cup of hot tea, he also left.
At ten o’clock in the evening, Chu Tian, dressed in night gear, sneaked to the entrance of Crouching Dragon Villa.
Lying on the wall, Chu Tian observed the security’s shift change timing and took advantage of the shift change to sneak into the villa.
Thinking he was being stealthy, Chu Tian was soon discovered by Fu Bo, who was strolling in the garden.
“So you came after all…” Seeing Chu Tian in his night gear, Fu Bo stroked his beard and smiled.
Jiang Che had told him that someone might try to sneak in late at night in the coming days, so he should keep an eye out.
He didn’t expect to encounter the person Jiang Che mentioned just two days into his patrols. Chu Tian looked warily at Fu Bo, who had silently appeared before him.
The fact that the old man could appear without him noticing meant his cultivation was higher, and Chu Tian felt an unprecedented sense of oppression from him.
Realizing he had fallen into Jiang Che’s trap, Chu Tian cursed inwardly and decided to escape. Although he couldn’t gauge the old man’s cultivation, it was evidently above his own, making it impossible to win.
Knowing when to retreat was wise; he wasn’t foolish enough to fight a losing battle.
“Since you’re here, don’t think about leaving!” Seeing Chu Tian about to escape, Fu Bo sneered.
In a swift movement, he appeared before Chu Tian, raised his palm, and struck Chu Tian’s chest hard!
The whole sequence happened in an instant, and before Chu Tian could react, he was sent flying, crashing into an ancient tree in the distance.
The commotion naturally alerted the patrolling security guards, who rushed over.
“Fu Bo, what happened?” The lead guard asked curiously, seeing Fu Bo out in the courtyard at this hour.
“Someone tried to assassinate the young master…” Fu Bo looked at the direction where Chu Tian had fallen and said calmly.
He didn’t blame the guards, knowing their cultivation was only at the Innate level, making it impossible for them to detect Chu Tian.
“This…” The guards were stunned and followed Fu Bo’s gaze, seeing Chu Tian struggling to get up from the ground.
Chu Tian, enduring the pain, wiped the blood from his mouth and looked at Fu Bo with dread. This old man’s cultivation was indeed terrifying! One palm strike had severely injured him.
Without hesitation, Chu Tian leaped onto a tree, trying to escape. This was a hopeless battle. Staying meant certain defeat.
With limited cultivation, no matter how much he resisted, he couldn’t win.
“Still trying to run?” Fu Bo sneered, leaping from the ground and appearing next to Chu Tian in the blink of an eye. Grabbing Chu Tian by the collar, he slammed him to the ground.
With a loud crash, a human-shaped pit about a meter deep appeared in the courtyard. Chu Tian lay unconscious at the bottom, his fate uncertain.
“This…” The guards swallowed hard, looking at Fu Bo in disbelief.
They had no idea Fu Bo was a martial arts master and had always thought he was just an ordinary person. Who would have thought this old man was hiding such prowess! A hidden master indeed.
“Fu Bo, how should we deal with him? Should we inform the young master?” One guard, suppressing his shock, approached Fu Bo and asked.
“Take him to the basement and tie him up. We’ll inform the young master tomorrow.”
Fu Bo glanced at Chu Tian and ordered. Chu Tian was severely injured and couldn’t cause any trouble. They would deal with him once Jiang Che woke up. It was already late, and Fu Bo didn’t want to disturb Jiang Che’s cultivation.
“Understood.” The guards, hearing this, dragged Chu Tian out of the pit like a dead dog and took him to the basement.
Fu Bo also returned to his room to rest.
