Chapter 469 - The Distance Between the Two of Them (1/2)

As the sun rose from the eastern horizon, Xiahai City stirred like a giant monster waking from its slumber.

It was likely due to the excruciating pain emanating from his mangled arm, but Zhuo Wei was the first to wake up from his coma. When he opened his eyes, he was shocked! The view in his vision entirely disoriented him, and he needed some time to find his bearings.

Why was the sky beneath and the ground above his head?

Two to three seconds later, he finally regained his senses and realized that someone had tied his legs up, and he now hung him upside down on the outer face of a 52-story high building! Besides him, everyone else had also been hung upside down on this high-rise building. Even if one didn’t suffer from a fear of heights, it was more than enough to cause all the hair on one’s body to stand on ends at this kind of elevation.

“Help me… help me…!”

Zhuo Wei started to panic and scream in abject fear. Being hung upside down in such a precarious way was undoubtedly frightening and very dangerous. Zhuo Wei felt like his life would end at any given moment.

The other “cats” started stirring from their state of unconsciousness as well, and the moment they realized the situation they were in, they began screaming in terror just like Zhuo Wei did.

Being strung up 52 stories high was the last thing they’d expected, and the fear was too much for them to bear. Several of them who had a fear of heights had already wet their pants.

…

“Sister, hurry up and look at that, it seems like there are a whole bunch of people being hung outside that building!”

After drawing the curtains to the balcony at the Crescent Bay hotel, Luo Pingxiang was the first to notice the incredible scene at the opposite office building. She immediately pointed at it and called out to Su Li.

Su Li was in the midst of feeding Su Xiaobei breakfast, and as soon as she heard that, she turned her head towards the balcony to take a look. The scene she saw startled her—there were indeed 20 to 30 people strung upside down outside the 52-story building.

“It has got to be Zhuo Wei and his bunch of b*stards!”

Chai Zhiying exclaimed in surprise, but she was puzzled. “Who in the world could have hung them upside down outside the building?” she asked.

Su Li immediately thought of Xiao Luo, for she had informed him just last night that people were secretly taking pictures. It couldn’t have been just a coincidence that the next morning, Zhuo Wei and his crew were suddenly hanging hung upside down outside that tall building. That would be very unlikely, and she was sure that Xiao Luo was the one who did it.

As she was pondering over the matter, the doorbell rang.

Luo Pingxiang rushed over to open the door, and Xiao Luo walked in, dressed in a white shirt. He strode toward the dining table and sat right next to Su Xiaobei.

“Good morning, Daddy!” The little girl said, laughing as she raised her crescent-shaped eyes and flashed two rows of perfectly formed teeth at him.

“Good morning, Bei Bei!”

Xiao Luo patted her on the head and then began to tuck into his breakfast.

“Are you the one who did it?” Su Li asked, as she got up from her seat and pointed at the office building opposite them.

“Yes, I’m the one who did it.”

Xiao Luo decided to be upfront as it would be pointless for him to hide it anyway. Su Li very likely already knew it was him by now.

Luo Pingxiang and Chai Zhiying were stunned and look at Xiao Luo in shock. They thought that this man was simply too violent. To think that he tied up the legs of Zhuo Wei and his group of photographers and just hung them upside down precariously outside a building. And it was likely that they had been hanging there for an entire night too. Just thinking of it made one shiver. Wasn’t he afraid that the rope might just snap or loosen and cause them to fall to their deaths?

“Who allowed you to do something like this?” Su Li screamed.

She was furious and reacted rather emotionally. “You think you’re all that great just because you’ve learned some martial arts, and can do whatever you want? Not everything in this world can be settled using violence,” she cried, “What are you going to do if someone over there dies, and you become some wanted fugitive by the police? Will you only be satisfied when you’ve ruined your entire life? You’re too full of yourself! Next time, just stay out of my business!”

Xiao Luo, who was in the middle of his breakfast, raised his head and smiled wryly. “Excuse me, are you taking my kindness as ill intentions?” he asked.

Su Li opened her eyes wide and was speechless. “Taking his kindness as ill intentions?” She was worried about him, afraid that something horrible would happen to him, why couldn’t he understand this?
