The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1560 - 1559: The Great Fire

"Boss, what happened?"The captain had just arrived and hadn't grasped the situation yet. As he looked at the dried blood-stained tongues hanging on the prison door, he finally realized.

"Ah, tongues!"

He had never witnessed such a gruesome and bloody scene before. As soon as he saw the tongues hanging there, this seven-foot man fainted right at Tang Rao's feet.

Patrol leader?

Tang Rao muttered a few words and kicked him to the side.

In the Kao Shan Sect patrol, they'd never had such a weak leader before.

Along with the kicked captain, the prison door was also pushed open by Tang Rao.

He almost forgot that Zhou Runfa was stronger than him. If he could kick open the door in anger, how could Zhou Runfa not?

In the end, it was because the prison of the Kao Shan Sect was never meant for those powerful figures. This incident had something to do with Tang Rao.

"Are you guys alright?"

How could they be alright?

Tang Rao realized his question was redundant. He walked into the prison, crouched down, and personally checked the injuries of these people. Without tongues, losing too much blood, and being restrained, being able to see Tang Rao again was already a blessing for them.

Since Tang Rao had seen them and they were working for him, he couldn't just ignore them. He decisively fed each one of them an Elixir Pill to save their lives, but to reattach those tongues and make them speak again was impossible.

Fortunately, they all remembered the use of Illusion City. With a hint from Tang Rao, they immediately recalled they had a powerful tool on hand.

When Zhou Runfa and his group cut off their tongues, even if they had some consciousness and strength left, they would think of using Illusion City to report what happened in the prison to Tang Rao.

However, they were really terrified and had no strength left to log into Illusion City; they were even prepared to die in the prison.

The Elixir Pill from Tang Rao took effect, although they didn't immediately recover to their original state, logging into Illusion City to report the situation to Tang Rao wasn't as difficult as before.

Those whose tongues were cut off meticulously recounted to Tang Rao how they were assaulted and how they escaped from the prison, and they also relayed Zhou Runfa's message to Tang Rao before he left.

He said, Tang Rao wants to catch him, Zhou Runfa? Dream on.

Unfortunately, with their tongues cut off, they couldn't speak; otherwise, they would definitely describe Zhou Runfa's arrogant expression and tone to Tang Rao.

Even without anyone describing it, just by hearing the message from the prison guards, Tang Rao could already imagine how arrogant Zhou Runfa must have been.

"One day, when I catch Zhou Runfa, I will bring him before you and let you cut off his tongue and take his life."

Daring to lay hands on Tang Rao's people and brazenly belittle Tang Rao, someone like this must be caught and killed by Tang Rao, or else during his breakthrough, he might develop a Heart Demon, becoming a barrier.

So, Zhou Runfa must die, he must die!

Ever since the corpse of Old Man Qin was delivered to the Qin Family, everyone in the Qin Family was on edge. Whether they were distant relatives or servants, none dared to step out of the Qin Family's gates, fearing that Tang Rao's small cannon would be aimed at the Qin Family's door. Whether it was a servant or a relative, they could be blasted away with a single shot. Whether or not people were killed, it didn't matter, as long as they could vent some emotions at the Qin Family.

Compared to the fearful attitude of everyone in the Qin Family, people outside were going crazy. They rushed to the Kao Shan Shop day after day, using the excuse of shopping to occasionally build a relationship with Zhang Wang, asking if the shopkeeper behind Zhang Wang had any plans to sell small cannons or handguns.

Zhang Wang suddenly felt this sensation was familiar, like the time long ago when he first started selling high-grade Elixir Pills.

Tang Rao entered through the back door of the Kao Shan Shop. After receiving a message from Tang Rao, Zhang Wang quickly handed over the shop's business to the servants and headed to the back courtyard.

"Boss, boss, you finally came. If you hadn't come, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to hold the Kao Shan Shop alone."

In front of Tang Rao, Zhang Wang never pretended to be strong. He clearly knew what he could and couldn't do, and he never hesitated to seek Tang Rao's help, speaking out everything to Tang Rao without the slightest shyness.

"I see the business at Kao Shan Shop has been pretty good these days. Wasn't making money your favorite thing before? Why does it suddenly feel like a burden?"

Not mentioning making money would've been better. As soon as Zhang Wang heard about making money, the knot in his heart grew as big as his head.

"You know the business at Kao Shan Shop is good, right? Since you know it's good, you must know why people are coming continuously from morning opening to evening closing, right?"

Was this indirectly complaining to Tang Rao?

"I know a little."

Tang Rao nodded seriously.

"Since you know, shouldn't the boss also stock up the Kao Shan Shop a bit, successfully bringing in some fresh blood for us?"

This guy, he had this idea for a long time.

Tang Rao was not in a hurry, but Zhang Wang, the businessman, was more anxious than anyone else.

"I knew your little mind was on this. Don't worry, I've already sent Jinxiu to tally what can be sold now. You hang in there for two more days. If you really can't stand being bothered, take a break for a few days. We're not short of a few Purple Crystals, consider it a long vacation for you."

Tang Rao originally thought he was being considerate for Zhang Wang, but as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhang Wang's expression as if Tang Rao was about to take his life: "Impossible, taking a vacation is impossible. I could never take a vacation. Purple Crystal is my life; if I miss a day of work, I feel uncomfortable."

Zhang Wang had been a bit downcast lately, as he fully experienced the feeling of seeing Purple Crystal that couldn't be earned.

Now that Tang Rao had solved Zhang Wang's urgent issue, whether Zhang Wang had a vacation or not didn't make much difference.

"Boss, it doesn't matter whether I have a vacation, but my sister, if you have the time, you should go see her."

Zhang Kexin had been in a slump for a long time, rarely stepping out from the gates at home. Her father might have been satisfied and happy, but for a long time, she wouldn't eat or drink, nor would she attend the monthly family meals. She stayed in her small courtyard, and besides her maid bringing out word that the young lady was still alive, the Zhang Family almost thought Zhang Kexin had disappeared.

Zhang Wang was right; if he hadn't reminded Tang Rao again of Zhang Kexin's existence, he might have completely forgotten about the little girl.

"Hmm, I will."

Between Tang Rao and Zhang Kexin, there wasn't much affection to speak of, but the little girl had pursued him for so long and could save his life at a critical moment. Just for that, there was no problem for Tang Rao to go and see Zhang Kexin.
