False evidence

Chapter 291 Fire General
Liu Hong's smile grew increasingly bleak: "Everyone has their gains and losses..."

I opened my mouth.

"What did you say?" Liu Hong leaned closer to me.

I stopped and shrugged.

"boom!"

Liu Hong squatted on the ground, clutching his forehead, "Damn it...you're messing with me..."

"I told you there was a tree ahead, but you insisted on crashing into it. What could I do?"

"I...I can read lips, but I just went deaf, and it's so dark, I haven't gotten used to it yet!"

Liu Hong stood up and glared at me.

"Then you have to learn to adapt."

I extended my right hand to him and said, "Congratulations, you've turned off the 'bug' and started a new life."

Liu Hong paused for a moment, then grinned, pointed at me, and extended his right hand.

"Damn! You really think I want to shake your hand? Look at yourself!"

I did not mean to insult him.

The truth is, two naked men, on a stormy night, were shaking hands face to face in the woods... The scene was too beautiful for me to bear.

When I finally reached the other side of the river, I found my clothes. Although they were soaked through, it was still better than being naked.

"You're quite skilled at undressing men," I said, glancing at Liu Hong as I fastened my belt.

"What did you say?" Liu Hong looked up at me as he put on his thermal underwear.

"I said you have a great figure, and a nice perky butt."

"Depend on!"

The moment I turned my head, I was filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Judging by facial features...

At this point, discussing facial features is somewhat superfluous.

Because when I discovered that my clothes had been stripped off, and then I turned to Liu Hong, I saw his face... or rather, in my eyes only—it was a pale, lifeless face!

Liu Hong had been out of the game for a decade or two longer than me, and he had spent years wandering the world. He could see through things just by observing people's words and expressions.

"You know physiognomy, did you see something? How am I going to die?"

"What will happen to your woman and daughter if you die? Why don't I take Wei Min as my mistress? She's a mature woman, and I've watched too many Japanese movies. I've wanted to try it for a long time."

I tossed him the thermal underwear. "I don't want to spout any nonsense like 'my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens.' Just one sentence: even if the sky falls, I haven't even tried to lift it up yet. If I were you, I would be thinking right now—after today, shouldn't I give my woman a proper status?"

Before Liu Hong could speak, I clapped my hands and said, "I'm telling you, Wei Min is going to die. You know what to do..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Hong had already dashed out while putting on his thermal underwear.

Watching the direction he ran off in, I remained calm, took out a cigarette pack from my jeans pocket, and put a half-dried, crumpled cigarette in my mouth...

With one hand behind his back and the other holding a cigarette, Lü Xin strolled forward, turning his head to look at me as he did so.
"When did you start to understand women?"

With his hands behind his back, Liang Kaiyuan said as he walked, "When it's crucial to calm down, many things will become clear naturally."

I walked along, a cigarette dangling from my lips, rubbing my shoulders and chest.

"I'm saying, you two, one in a long robe and the other in a suit, are always dressed so properly, while I'm shirtless. Do you think that's appropriate?"

“You still have a pair of pants!” Liang Kaiyuan laughed.

Lu Xin smiled, glanced sideways at the nearby woods, and said leisurely:

"Before persuading others, you must first learn to persuade yourself. If you can convince someone who has just gone deaf and knows they are about to die to be full of vitality and even use them to solve some problems... you have already received my true teachings."

He suddenly turned his face, licked his lips, and said, "Actually, that Wei Min... her legs are really white."

Liang Kaiyuan and I both clicked our tongues simultaneously. Liang Kaiyuan said, "You've seen too little of the world! Let me tell you, when I used to entertain clients at those entertainment venues, there were tons of bare legs!"

I told Lu Xin, "You didn't have sunscreen back then, did you? Nowadays, women apply all sorts of things to their bodies all year round... It's like the face cream that was popular back then, you know, all those things, they apply tons of them to their bodies regardless of the time. If you used them all in one day, after they dried, the peeling shells could be used as bulletproof vests."

Lu Xin blinked and glanced at me sideways: "Aren't you worried about Pi Dan at all?"

I couldn't stand his disrespectful attitude, so I retorted sarcastically, "First, not everyone is a fool; second, I have buddies! Real buddies!"

Lu Xin and I threw away our cigarette butts at the same time, and he turned to me and said:
"That's what I was thinking too, but now I've thought of a more serious problem."

Liang Kaiyuan turned to me at the same time, saying urgently, "It seems we've overestimated him. Liu Hong just went deaf! It's like a nearsighted person taking off their glasses and their hearing also becoming impaired... He might be capable, but he simply can't adapt..."

"What the hell is there to say?!"

I realized my oversight and ran as fast as I could.

In an instant, Liang Kaiyuan and Lü Xin leaped up and attached themselves to me...

A two-story building came into view.

A short, dark figure came straight at you.

I took a few steps forward, squatted down, and hugged Shuanzhu into my arms.

My palms suddenly felt sticky.

Shuanzhu raised its head, opened its mouth, loosened my backpack, stuck out its tongue and panted heavily at me a few times, then lay sideways on the ground, its eyes still fixed on me.

"Damn it! You better hold on!"

I suddenly stood up, pulled out my iron fan, and threw my backpack aside.

At the same time, Liang Kaiyuan and Lü Xin emerged from the left and right respectively, each carrying an iron fan, glaring angrily at the small building.

The sound of "whoosh" blended together.

Amidst the intensifying sound of rain, the three 'people' arrived at the courtyard gate.

"Lu Xin, the 'Fire General' of the Thousand Gates, has arrived!"

As he spoke, Lü Xin kicked open the door, carrying an iron fan in one hand and walking slowly inside with the other behind his back.

Liang Kaiyuan was somewhat stunned.

I was startled.

I've heard my grandfather tell me many old stories and anecdotes.

Positive, elevate, negative, remove, wind, fire, eliminate, rumor...

Aren't they just the Eight Masters of the Thousand Doors... a group of swindlers?
The Eight Generals of the Thousand Gates!

Fire will...

Aren't they just thugs and assassins?
All I know is that Lü Xin is a con artist, a low-level swindler...

Before he "exposed himself," he was actually a fire general?
Scenes from that Republic-era train replay in my mind.

Double kill of the foreign devils;
He also accidentally killed the 'spectator' Lin Qin'en;

With just the slightest force of his toes, he killed 'Black Dog Boss'...

Liang Kaiyuan and I followed him into the courtyard, glanced at the lit second floor, and then looked at each other in bewilderment.

Lu Xin slowly raised his iron fan, first pointing to the door I had entered at dusk, then pointing horizontally to another location:
"You hurt my dog? If so, you'll pay with your life!"

A person emerged from the room, leaning against the railing, and said to me, "Sanqi! Why are you so late? Your wife..."

Before he could finish speaking, I stepped onto the stairs and quickly ascended, glancing sideways at the spot Lü Xin was pointing to.

Lü Xin and Liang Kaiyuan returned to my body simultaneously, and the iron fan was still pointing in that direction:

"Come out and pay with your life!"
