Chapter 1016: Crossing Hands
Having gone through so many cycles of recurrence, Li Huowang had already guessed what these people were discussing, nothing more than saying his condition had worsened again.
But Li Huowang thought this was better. At least, with the disguise of a mental illness, he could easily deceive Qing Wanglai in this situation.
Although the situation had changed somewhat, he was still in the dark, while Qing Wanglai was in the light.
Thinking of this, Li Huowang stood up again, took a deep breath, and walked over there.
"You must think I'm lying, but what I'm saying is definitely true. We Fate Commanders must unite to resolve this trouble!!"
"But where's the proof? Li Huowang, where's the proof? Words alone are not enough; we need substantial evidence to believe you," Chen Hongyu asked.
"Evidence?" Li Huowang furrowed his brow and thought for a moment, finally shaking his head with difficulty, "I don't have evidence, but what I'm saying is absolutely true!"
"Is it true only to you? Every madman in the world thinks what they're saying is absolutely true," Ba Nanxu, who clearly didn't trust him, said from the side.
"Hey, don't be like that towards Li Huowang. After all, he's one of us. He must have his own logic for saying this," Qing Wanglai said with a smile, defending Li Huowang.
Li Huowang ignored him and suddenly approached Zhao Shuangdian, "Where's your computer?"
"What computer? I don't even have a phone. What would I use a computer for?" Zhao Shuangdian said with an indifferent look.
"Alright, alright, we'll talk later, the food's almost ready. Let's chat after eating. Wu Qi, come help in the kitchen." Qing Wanglai stood up and headed to the kitchen.
Li Huowang understood that this was not the right approach; to deal with Qing Wanglai, he must gain Zhao Shuangdian's support. Without her support, she could easily be used by Qing Wanglai against him.
Watching Qing Wanglai's departing figure, Li Huowang was quick-witted and gave Yang Na a glance before turning to head to the third floor.
When Yang Na caught up, Li Huowang immediately pulled out his military knife and directly cut into his own arm, slicing off a piece of flesh.
"Huowang!!" Yang Na's face turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly took out a hairband to tie above the wound, stopping Li Huowang's bleeding.
"It's okay, I'm dividing the Heavenly Dao. I need to return Zhao Shuangdian's Heavenly Dao first so she can understand what I'm saying." Li Huowang said, handing the piece of flesh to Yang Na.
"Do me a favor. It's too obvious if I go myself. Cook this piece of Heavenly Dao and mix it with the dish. Remember, she likes spicy food, put it in the green pepper shredded pork."
Tears welled up in Yang Na's eyes as she looked at the bloody and mangled Heavenly Dao, appearing hesitant and conflicted. "But... I don't know how to cook."
"I'll do it." Yi Donglai's voice rang out, and he looked at Li Huowang's wound with a very complicated expression, momentarily unsure of what he was doing.
Finally, he took a deep breath, picked up Li Huowang's flesh, and walked towards the kitchen.
Just as Yi Donglai was about to enter, Li Huowang immediately called out to Qing Wanglai, who was cooking, "Qing Wanglai, come out for a bit, let's talk."
"Oh? Something up?" Qing Wanglai washed his hands, took off the apron, and walked outside.
To provide help for Yi Donglai, Li Huowang, along with San Qing, came outside.
"Is it about your girlfriend?" Qing Wanglai still wore his trademark fake smile.
Li Huowang looked at him seriously, while images of what this guy had done before floated through his mind, driven by a murderous urge to strangle him alive.
But Li Huowang knew he couldn't do that. To deal with San Qing required extreme caution. On the surface, he had already mastered the Growth Heavenly Dao and the Secret Heavenly Dao, and had taken things from him.
What other tricks might be held behind the scenes, no one knew. Without foolproof preparations, one couldn't waste the first move lightly.
"I was taken back to White Tower Hospital, why didn't you try to save me?" Li Huowang threw out an old, clichéd question.
Whatever Qing Wanglai answered, Li Huowang didn't care. What mattered was noticing that Yi Donglai had already entered the kitchen, and his goal was achieved.
As Li Huowang watched, Zhao Shuangdian reached out with her chopsticks and picked up the green pepper shredded pork, putting it in her mouth and starting to chew.
But at this moment, the situation changed. Chen Hongyu wanted to reach out with her chopsticks, "Looks pretty good."
Just in the nick of time, Yang Na hurriedly grabbed her sleeve, "Auntie, where did you buy those chips from? They're delicious, I plan to buy more."
With the secret collaboration of Li Huowang, Yang Na, and Yi Donglai, most of that plate of green pepper shredded pork ended up being eaten by Zhao Shuangdian.
After eating, Zhao Shuangdian prepared to leave with the others, but Li Huowang stopped her. "When you get back, you can try playing on the computer, it's really fun, especially with all kinds of games. If you don't play, you'll miss out on a big enjoyment in life."
Zhao Shuangdian looked at him as if he was an idiot and left with everyone. As they crossed paths, Li Huowang whispered in her ear, "Topology..."
Zhao Shuangdian eventually left, but Li Huowang wasn't in a hurry and patiently waited for something.
Finally, when he felt his phone vibrate, the corners of Li Huowang's mouth slightly raised, someone had sent a message.
A few minutes later, Qing Wanglai rushed out from his room. "Let's go, we're heading out."
"Where to?"
"To Zhao Shuangdian's house. Something is wrong over there." Qing Wanglai's expression was very serious.
Hearing this, everyone started to get in the cars, and Li Huowang drove his motorcycle out of the underground garage. Amidst the roar of engines, RVs, luxury cars, and motorcycles all headed along the road to the outskirts.
After twists and turns, everyone finally stopped in front of a large mountain, which visibly appeared very remote, with even dirt paths.
It was hard to imagine that Zhao Shuangdian actually lived in such a remote place in the past. Li Huowang gripped the military knife tightly, following everyone as they grabbed their weapons and began to climb the mountain.
Climbing a roadless mountain was exhausting, and everyone started panting heavily after two hours.
"Are we there yet?" Chen Hongyu gasped, exhausted. "Is it really true? How high is this mountain anyway?"
Supporting Yang Na, Li Huowang walked past her without saying a word, continuing up the mountain.
"Almost there! It's nearby!" Qing Wanglai surveyed his surroundings with a stern expression. "But strangely, things seem off, there weren't this many trees before."
"Call her." Wu Qi immediately took out her phone and dialed, but after a few seconds, she worriedly put the phone down, "This crappy place has no signal at all."
"Spread out and search!" Li Huowang tried to lead Yang Na away, but Qing Wanglai stopped him. "We can't separate; if she encounters danger alone, you'll be sending sacrifices one by one."
Li Huowang, anxious, glared at him. "Then what do you propose?"
Qing Wanglai pulled out a tissue, wiped off the sweat on his neck, "Let's head back, this place is too dangerous."
"What about Zhao Shuangdian? Aren't we going to save her?" Just as Li Huowang said this with frustration, he saw a red light from a laser pinned on Qing Wanglai's forehead.
The next moment, "Bang!" the sound of a gunshot, and a bullet sped toward Qing Wanglai's forehead, grazing Li Huowang's scalp.
