No. 128 Nobody is God

  The grenade explosion didn't cause Wang Jian too much serious injury, as he dodged quickly, only being scratched by shrapnel on his face.

  He bowed his head and looked at the two masters who had gone to heaven, he silently gave them a thumbs up, then covered his wound and walked towards Dawei's car.

  At this time, Liang Huanhuan also came walking from a distance, with a deep blood stain on her arm, probably a wound caused by a bullet grazing.

  Dawei saw the two of them and first opened the door to take out the medicine from the car and handed it to Wang Jian, then rushed to Liang Huanhuan's side, held up her arm, wanting to support her, but was pushed away by Liang Huanhuan.

  She simply covered her arm and walked to her motorcycle, picked up the phone and started reporting the situation.

  After finishing speaking, she walked over to Wang Jian's side and looked at Wang Jian who was wiping away blood: "How is it on your end?"

  "It's okay." Wang Jian applied medicine while staring at Liang Huanhuan's arm: "How did you get hurt? I didn't hear a gunshot."

  "Two snipers are aiming at me, I can only stand up and fight with one hand." Liang Huanhuan tore off her own sleeve and took the iodine and gauze from Wang Jian, starting to bandage herself: "Let's go, there will be people coming to clean up here."

  Wang Jian nodded and pointed at Liang Huanhuan's wound: "Let's take a car together, you'll crash if you ride a motorcycle."

  Liang Huanhuan took a glance at her motorcycle, nodded, squeezed beside Wang Jian and let out a soft sigh: "If you weren't here, I'd definitely be dead by now."

  Wang Jian nodded and said, "I didn't think Xian Yun was so formidable."

  Liang Huanhuan sighed: "I'm also considered a god-level sniper, plus you're an expert, being played like this by Xianyun is really frustrating."

  Wang Jian didn't say a word, but he also knew that Liang Huanhuan was telling the truth. Although Wang Jian had a great advantage in terms of strength, he felt that he still had some distance to go compared to Zhan Yun, whether it was in terms of experience or overall perspective, and that he was still someone who had undergone life-and-death training.

  So Wang Jian is now even more convinced of a sentence - the opponent determines one's own level. Then think back to his past opponents. Except for small hooligans, they were just small thugs, except for small thugs, they were just small rascals, these three professions have always occupied a large part of Wang Jian's life journey, and occasionally a few "big brothers" are just upgraded versions of these three professions.

  But it was really the first time to meet someone like Zhan Yun. Although Wang Jian believed he could win from the start, he truly didn't expect that winning would be so difficult.

  He even hypothesized that if Xingyun hadn't gone shopping yesterday and had stayed by his brother's side, Wang Jian would have suspected himself to be in a fierce battle yesterday, and it would have been even more brutal than today. This made him involuntarily shiver down his spine, filled with emotion.

  But to tell the truth, Zhan Yun is indeed a real man. He's an absolutely worthy opponent, even if he's a thief, but there's still a heroic feeling about him, he just happens to be standing on the opposite side of Wang Jian, otherwise they would really become friends like he said.

  The wound on his body wasn't serious, after all, it had missed the vital organs. It was just a flesh wound, and he would recover in a few days of rest. However, the shock to his mind left Wang Jian feeling apprehensive. He had a premonition that similar opponents would not stop appearing in the future, no matter how low-key Da Wei kept, he couldn't hide the fact that he was a controversial figure. Wang Jian wasn't stupid, but he was absolutely not cunning, he acknowledged reality. Just like today, when Da Wei could have hidden at home and avoided danger, but instead came to face the risk of being kidnapped and blackmailed, Wang Jian was also not the kind of person who would sit idly by, for him, this was what friendship meant.

  "Ah Jian, thank you." Dawei said while driving. His voice was heavy with emotion: "It's me who dragged you down."

  "It's pointless saying that." Wang Jian lit a cigarette and leaned his head against the car window, looking outside: "You'd better be careful yourself."

  "Uh, I've already told my dad about it." Dawei's voice was not loud, but sounded very steady: "My sister has also been urgently recalled. I didn't do anything, why is this happening?"

  Wang Jian shook his head: "I don't know."

  Liang Huanhuan hugged her gun and leaned against the back of the chair, her big eyes staring straight ahead as she softly sighed: "I don't know if Dasheng has escaped danger."

  "He's not in too much trouble." Wang Jian replied: "His body can withstand it."

  "Let's go back and take a good rest." Wang Jian stretched his arm: "Everyone is quite tired."

  Dawei responded with a sound, then turned his head to Wang Jian and said: "I suddenly feel that there is something strange in this matter. These people are obviously coming for me, but according to reason, none of this should be happening. You have to know, I started attending ordinary high school at the age of ten or so, taking public transportation to and from school every day. If someone wanted to cause trouble, they wouldn't wait until now."

  "Maybe it's your family business that has infringed on someone else's interests?"

  "It's impossible, ten years ago it was still possible, but now my family has been in good shape for several years, specializing in angel investment and cooperating with the government to develop energy technology, which will not infringe on anyone's interests, and they will not use kidnapping as a means of doing things."

  "Perhaps it's true what they say: a gentleman takes his revenge in due time."

  "Why don't you just shoot me and get your revenge over with? It's not more convenient that way?" Dawei said with a smile, "Besides, I told them if they want money, just say so. Money is no problem."

  "You saw it too, I can get hurt as well." Wang Jian pointed at his wound: "No one is a god, what's the point of asking me this?"

  Dawei also fell silent after hearing this, and it seemed that there was a profound mystery here. Even the people involved were unclear about it, let alone Wang Jian, an outsider. Moreover, Wang Jian was neither Xiao Jin nor Tianran Er, his IQ was only within the normal range, letting him solve this puzzle without any clues was no easier than asking him to defeat Iron Man.

  On the way back, Wang Jian unknowingly fell asleep, the pain of his wound and the fatigue of a sleepless night made him feel an unusual exhaustion, leaning against something and sleeping until the sky was dark. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on Tian Ran's bed, beside him was Tian Ran's face concentrating on applying medicine to Wang Jian, while Jin Huiming sat not far away, propping up her chin and staring blankly.

  At the same time, however, Liang Huanhuan, who was also injured, sat in front of her computer playing a stupid dance game. Her keyboard clattered loudly as she played, and she occasionally shouted curses.

  "Ah Jian, are you awake?" Tian Ran said as soon as he saw Wang Jian wake up. His expression immediately opened up: "I'll go get some food for you!"

  "Will you stop having weird dreams?" Jin Huiming leaned in close to Wang Jian, sizing him up: "You actually dare to get hurt?"

  Wang Jian rubbed his head and sat up from the bed. He felt dizzy and nauseous, wanting to vomit: "How did I suddenly fall asleep?"

  "You're poisoned." Jin Huiming pointed at Wang Jian's already bandaged wound: "There is snake venom on your wound, it's a neurotoxin. But my old Wang... what exactly do you do? The amount of poison in you is enough to kill several adult men, but you're fine."

  Wang Jian let out a sound of realization. In an instant, he thought back to the medicinal bath that Old Carpenter had made him take all those years ago, which had been so painful it was almost inhumane. He figured that his high resistance to poison must have come from that experience. And as it turned out, this suffering really did pay off - not just because Wang Jian's body had become stronger, but also because he now possessed a physique that was immune to all poisons. After all, if he hadn't had this ability, he would probably have died from food poisoning long ago.

  However, Wang Jian did not know that Xianyun's arrow was poisoned. No wonder Xianyun looked a bit surprised when he saw the person who was shot still jumping around. Now it seems that the arrow was indeed poisonous.

  "But I'm curious." Jin Huiming furrowed his brow: "Why can't even the antidote take effect?"

  Wang Jian touched the wound on his shoulder and found that it didn't hurt as much anymore. His mood lifted, and he jokingly replied, "I told you before, you can't give me medicine."

  "Hmph..." Jin Huiming pouted: "Who cares."

  Just then, a waitress carefully walked in with a tray of food, as if she was holding a time bomb, and shouted: "Make way! Make way!"

  She's now a cripple, so even if she's being careful, she still gives people the feeling that she's on shaky ground and is about to spill the rice all over the floor. Just as it seemed like the rice was going to go flying everywhere, Wang Jian's quick reflexes allowed him to grab hold of the big bowl and catch the rice in one swift motion.

  "Phew..." The naturally tall and slender person let out a long sigh: "Fortunately, nothing was spilled. Eat quickly, Ah Jian! I made it myself!"

  "How dare you lie to me like that?" Jin Huiming glanced at Tianran Er with a slanted gaze: "This is obviously a meal made by Huanhuan."

  It was naturally seen that things were exposed. Not getting Wang Jian's praise, he was very unhappy and pulled a long face, resentfully looked at Jin Huiming, then pitifully looked at Wang Jian.

  "Alright, alright." Wang Jian took a big bowl of rice that was quite filling and found that the meat and eggs inside were all heavy-tasting. At first glance, it wasn't Tian Er's style. It was obviously Sichuan cuisine, and the only person from Sichuan here was Liang Huanhuan. Who cooked this? Even a fool could guess, but anyway, telling the truth would still hurt Tian Er's feelings at this time. So Wang Jian could only nod at Tian Er: "I believe you, thank you."

  "Hey, are you going to be so biased?!" Jin Huiming was furious and jumped up: "This is too obvious!!"

  At this time, Liang Huanhuan slowly turned around and looked at Wang Jian: "We have contacted Interpol, the information they gave us is very little, but there is one that is very valuable. The two people, Zhan Fei and Zhan Yun, have appeared in four places during this period."

  Wang Jian was taken aback: "Then what? What does this represent?"

  "Hmm..." Liang Huanhuan chuckled: "It means that someone is hiring them to commit crimes everywhere. Specifically, in South Korea, Brunei, Taiwan, and here. In South Korea, they assassinated a powerful local leader named Choi something, in Brunei they kidnapped the Princess of Brunei and then apparently demanded that their king sign some kind of agreement, after which Brunei opened up free trade rights. In Taiwan, they didn't do much, just killed a small-time boss and framed someone else for it, but also caused the Bamboo Union and the Tian Dao Alliance to turn against each other in chaos. At home, they kidnapped the heir to the Xiao Corporation but failed, now Interpol is baffled by their behavior, every single thing they've done seems to be promoting economic development and social stability."

  Wang Jian stroked his chin and turned to look at Tianran Er: "Ruo Lin, what do you think?"

  "Ah..." Tian Ran was suddenly called back to reality, looked at Wang Jian in a daze, then looked at his rice: "Is it too spicy?"

  "Whatever..." Wang Jian was so angry he could have slapped himself, while Tian Ran seemed completely carefree: "I can eat spicy food..."

  Jin Huiming pondered for a moment beside him: "Is there any connection between these things?"

  "There's no connection between these four things," Liang Huanhuan said with a wave of her hand, "the people involved are completely unrelated."

  Wang Jian nodded and chuckled: "They are hired laborers, the boss asked them to come. They just do it."

  "Not true." Jin Huiming furrowed his brow: "I like to dig deep into things, there must be a connection here."

  "I also think so." Liang Huanhuan deeply agreed with Jin Huiming's words: "Interpol checked their accounts and found that during this period, there was an additional $10 million in their accounts. And it was the same account that was remitted from Sudan. In other words, they were hired by the same person or organization."

  "Come on, let's take a look together." Jin Huiming leaned in next to Liang Huanhuan: "What good stuff do you have there? Let's take a look together."

  Liang Huanhuan casually pinched Jin Huiming's chest: "Wow, you're really 14 years old? Not young at all."

  "Are you jealous?" Jin Huiming didn't have any shame at all, instead she poked Liang Huanhuan with her hand: "You're a flat 90s kid."

  The two of them made a fuss, Wang Jian shook his head helplessly, eating his meal in big mouthfuls, and actually didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing. Although he felt somewhat uneasy, he didn't have too many thoughts about it.

  "Ah Jian, you have something on your mind." Tian Ran Er sat down beside Wang Jian, looking at him with tears in her eyes: "You still haven't answered my question."

  "What? What's wrong?"

  "I asked you happily..."

  But before she could finish asking, the sound of the door opening came, followed by Lin Yaxuan's slow and deliberate entrance, leaning against the door frame looking at Wang Jian with a cold smile:

  "You will get your comeuppance someday."

  "Are you sick?" Wang Jian raised an eyebrow and looked at Lin Yaxuan: "Are you so happy to see others suffer?"

  Lin Yaxuan didn't know why, but whenever she thought of Wang Jian helping her bathe, she felt a surge of resentment. Now, every time she saw Wang Jian, she had an angry and humiliated feeling. Originally, she wasn't too fond of Wang Jian, and now she found him even more unbearable to look at.

  "Take it." Lin Yaxuan tossed a key to Wang Jian: "Move out."

  Wang Jian and Tian Ran were both stunned, looking at each other, then Wang Jian picked up the key: "What does it mean?"

  "It's only 300 meters away from your school." Lin Yaxuan looked at Wang Jian with downcast eyes: "I'll lend you a place to live, don't pay me rent."

  "No way!" The one who spoke out to stop him wasn't Wang Jian, but rather Tian Ran Er: "A Jian isn't going!"

  This time it's Lin Yaxuan's turn to be confused, she actually came this time to let Wang Jian stay away from Tianran Er a bit, after all, she had already heard about Da Wei's current situation. And Wang Jian and Da Wei are absolutely on the same rope, no matter how they deal with it, letting Wang Jian continue to stay here will inevitably involve Tianran Er.

  What Lin Yaxuan didn't expect was that Tianran Er actually refused this request with such a severe tone. According to Lin Yaxuan's understanding of Tianran Er, she must have known what was going on behind the scenes. But...

  So she was anxious at that time, frowning and asking Tian Er: "Do you know why I'm doing this?"

  "I know!" Tian Er, who had been yielding to Lin Yaxuan all along, suddenly changed and became unyielding: "But it's not possible!"

  Wang Jian scratched his head, and he roughly understood the problem here. So he patted Tian Ran Er's shoulder: "It's okay, I'll move away."

  After finishing speaking, he returned the key to Lin Yaxuan: "I'll sleep in the martial arts hall, there's a spot on the second floor."

  "I'm going too!" Next to him, Jin Huiming, who had been listening to the conversation all along, suddenly raised his eyebrows with a look of excitement: "Awesome!"

  Tianran Er Yao's gaze fell on Lin Yaxuan: "Sister!"

  "I'm doing this for your own good." Lin Yaxuan still tossed the key to the bedside: "There's furniture inside, whether you go or not is up to you."

  Wang Jian shook his head and then reached out to touch Tian Ran Er's hair: "You have to listen."

  "No way, no way, no way!" Tian Ran shook his head violently, like a rattle drum: "Anyway, it's just not going to work."

  Her persistence made both Wang Jian and Lin Yaxuan feel a bit helpless, no one had expected that the usually obedient Tian Er would suddenly become unmanageable like someone who had drunk too much wine, and was impossible to bring back.

  Just then, her door was knocked again. Lin Yaxuan opened the door and Dawei rushed in from outside, panting and saying: "I'm telling you, the gun used by Zhan Yun has been traced!"

  Wang Jian was taken aback: "What's the use of investigating clearly?"

  "Hmm." Dawei's eyes changed: "Following the vine to get the melon, his gun wasn't brought by himself, it was provided by someone here."

  "Who's so bold?" Liang Huanhuan turned her head: "And you still dare to run around everywhere now?"

  "Who cares." Dawei wiped his nose: "Anyway, the next wave doesn't know when it will arrive. Ah Jian, give me your key, I'll sleep in your room, my home is not safe."

  "Oh..." Wang Jian handed the key over from his pocket to Dawei: "Didn't you say you found a gun source?"

  "This was found through one of my uncles, tomorrow I'll take you to meet him, he said he wants to see you."

  Wang Jian thought for a moment: "Then you leave, what about the class? I'm suspended, Ryo is injured, and you're on sick leave. There are only two of us in the class!"

  "It's okay, anyway the mid-term exams are approaching and there aren't many classes left. The 29th class exam isn't about grades either, what's there to be afraid of?" Dawei waved his hand: "Besides, it's just one day tomorrow."

  "What if not by achievement?"

  "Teamwork."

  Wang Jian thought for a moment, then suddenly became furious: "Damn it, isn't this just cheating?!"
