Chapter 188 (2/2)

Near the front entrance of South Gate Town.

Tang Xiu came over to the stall that sold Liangpi noodles. As his sharp eyes looked at the middle-aged owner, he lightly said, “Give me two Liangpi, and pack them.”

The middle-aged man said with a smile, “Alright, please wait a bit.”

He glanced quickly to the distant corner as he lifted his left hand to scratch the back of his head. Then, he slowly worked to make Liangpi noodles.

Tang Xiu himself had released his perception to envelop the radius of 200 meters. He only looked at the middle-aged man’s action, but in the radius of his perception, a man and a woman disguised as a couple quickly appeared within his surveillance scope.

_“Assassins? Three of them?”_

Tang Xiu’s eyes narrowed. He was already prepared to act. Regardless of whoever wanted to kill him, he wouldn’t show mercy.

“Boss, I won’t buy the Liangpi!”

After having said that, Tang Xiu turned around to leave.

The middle-aged owner frowned as a dangerous glint flashed from his eyes instantly. In the next split second, his hand grabbed a gun on his waist and aimed the muzzle at Tang Xiu.

As the finger pulled the trigger…

“Bang…”

A gunfire sounded. But the middle-aged owner’s face changed greatly in an instant, because his shot that was supposed to hit, didn’t even hit the target, as even his sight was blurred and lost sight of Tang Xiu.

“Hiss……”

Along with the whooshing sound, the middle-aged owner could only feel a cold breath on his neck, as his neck had already been pinched.

Tang Xiu stood behind him as he whispered near his ears, “Don’t act rashly or I’ll immediately break your neck. Tell me, who the hell wants me dead?”

The middle-aged owner’s body turned stiff. He wanted to turn around but found that he couldn’t move his neck, causing him to panic. His lips shivered a few times as he replied astringently, “I don’t know. I’m just a hitman. As long as I’m contracted, I receive information on the target, finish them off and take the money.”

“I believe you. Don’t move. I can tell that the couple over there should also be your comrades, yes? They’re also armed, so that means some people really take me seriously, to think that they even send three assassins to kill me. Tell me, how much did they pay for my head?” Tang Xiu said with a sneer.

“Five… five million! We were paid five million each. A total of 15 million.” The middle-aged owner replied in a panic.

“There should also be a middleman between you and your employer, no? Since the three of you got 15 million, I can tell that my head is much more valuable. Gimme the contact of your middleman!” Tang Xiu nodded and said.

“13814…”

The middle-aged owner blurted out a cell phone number.

Tang Xiu casually broke the middle-aged owner’s neck as he used his hand to prop up his shoulder whilst watching the man and woman who were getting closer without batting an eye.

At the moment, the man and woman were seemingly aware that something was amiss as they directly stopped 20 meters away from the stall.

“Good vigilance!”

Tang Xiu smiled coldly. He took the middle-aged owner’s pistol and shot a few bullets toward the man and woman, who were still 20 meters away, without a moment’s hesitation. He hadn’t used a gun before, but since he had his spiritual sense locked on them, his finger pulled the trigger as the bullet instantly hit them.

Blood sprayed out as though a blooming peach blossom, as bright red flowers bloomed from the man and woman’s foreheads.

Two shots and two dead.

Tang Xiu didn’t leave the pistol and straightly stuffed it into his jacket’s pocket. He used his sleeves to cover his face and quickly disappeared to a nearby stall lightning fast.

“Ah… MURDER!”

Screams resounding in the vicinity. A young beautiful woman who was carrying a bag heard the gunshot and then saw a man and woman drowned in a pool of blood, causing her to fall into panic. The moment after she shouted, she quickly run away.

The four security guards at the front entrance of South Gate Town hurriedly rushed out the instant they heard the gunshot sound and flashed toward the direction of the Liangpi stall.
