Chapter 1397: No Breath Anymore

Chapter 1397: Chapter 1397: No Breath Anymore

Two muscle-bound, towering henchmen were tossed out by Lin Tian, honestly like two large bags of trash, or perhaps like two dangerous bombs.

To Lin Tian, they were merely that, but to Huang He, they were dangerous bombs!

Because they were thrown toward him! As if he were a garbage can intended to collect litter.

If Huang He were healthy, he might have had a chance to dodge them. But sitting immobile in a wheelchair now, he was definitely going to get slammed!

Two consecutive ’bang, bang’ sounds echoed in the ward, followed by wailing screams.

Huang He instantly fell backward, with the two burly henchmen pressing down on him. They squeezed him so hard that his stomach churned, and the porridge he had earlier almost came back up.

Even more painful was that the wound in his groin got pulled, causing a pain so intense that it felt like his head might explode! Was the wound... reopened?

"Ah~ you two bastards, get off me!" Huang He desperately tried to push the two men off him, but his efforts were ineffectual.

As for those henchmen? They were both thrown into disarray, with dazed minds.

Lu Wenxuan’s role as a lapdog was showcased once again at this moment; he called over the two lawyers to help remove the men pressing on Huang He.

Of course, the two henchmen weren’t knocked out unconscious by just one fall; they merely felt inexplicable dizziness and couldn’t stand back up.

Mei Ruyan looked at the busy scene in front of her and laughed, "Lin Tian, look at them, they’re just too silly."

Zhang Ya’Er chimed in, "Hehe, a bear soldier leads a bear army. Just too bear-like, two can’t defeat one, and they were thrown stupid."

Upon hearing this, whether it was Huang He, Lu Wenxuan, or the henchmen and lawyers, they all felt their faces sting with embarrassment.

Lu Wenxuan couldn’t care less about their mockery, focusing instead on helping Huang He up from the ground.

Before Huang He even got up, Lin Tian walked toward him, his steps slow yet carrying an aura of immense power.

Lu Wenxuan’s face grew three shades paler; seeing Lin Tian toss out two men was enough to know that even ten of him wouldn’t be enough for Lin Tian’s warm-up.

But he still swallowed hard, gathered his courage, stood in front of Lin Tian, and said coldly, "What are you doing?! This is a hospital! Be careful, I’ll call the police!"

"Call the police?"

Lin Tian was amused, squinting, "If I remember correctly, it was Huang He who instigated these two burly idiots to attack us first, wasn’t it just self-defense on my part?"

"..." Lu Wenxuan was lost for words. How did this shameless excuse sound just like what he had planned? Did Lin Tian plant a bug on Huang He?

Huang He was still lying on the ground, totally disoriented, yelling, "Get me up quickly!"

Lu Wenxuan blocked Lin Tian, with the two henchmen nearly incapacitated, making this task fall to the lawyers.

Lin Tian took another step forward.

Lu Wenxuan immediately spread his arms wide, like a hen protecting her chick, warily watching Lin Tian. He was so tense that he could hear his own heartbeat.

Suddenly, Lin Tian laughed, "Are you Mr. Zou?"

Gudu.

Lu Wenxuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva; he suddenly felt very thirsty.

Mr. Zou, these three characters were known only to him and the truck driver Cai Li; it was merely a false identity. Now with Lin Tian asking directly, every nerve in Lu Wenxuan’s body was tense.

He knows?

Thinking of this possibility, beads of sweat appeared on Lu Wenxuan’s forehead.

"You’ve got the wrong person. My surname is Lu, the Lu beside the left ear. Not the Mr. Zou you mentioned!"

"Hey, I just asked casually, why are you so nervous?"

"Nervous? Who’s nervous?"

Lu Wenxuan indeed was nervous, with his heart nearly jumping into his throat.

"Looks like you enjoy playing dumb, Cai Li told me everything. Mr. Zou...no, Lu Wenxuan, do you know the crime for hiring someone to kill?" Lin Tian frowned, radiating an aura that almost suffocated Lu Wenxuan.

"You, you’re slandering me!"

Lu Wenxuan’s confidence was wavering; he had confirmed that he was exposed. How else would Lin Tian know his name aside from Mr. Zou? That unreliable Cai Li!

"Slandering? I’m not just slandering, I’m going to commit malicious injury!"

With that said, Lin Tian suddenly took a quick step forward, approaching Lu Wenxuan, grabbed his shoulders firmly, raised his right knee fiercely, and slammed it hard into Lu Wenxuan’s stomach.

Bang!

This knee kick, Lin Tian didn’t dare use a bit of Spiritual Qi, knowing that this guy’s body was too frail and could easily end up in ICU for emergency treatment.

The pain surged; Lu Wenxuan’s mind went blank for a second. He wanted to scream, but his throat felt blocked, making it impossible to make any sound.

Lu Wenxuan couldn’t even tell where the pain was; it felt like his organs were all scrambled.

However, it wasn’t over!

Lin Tian grabbed Lu Wenxuan’s wrist with one hand, his armpit with the other, spun around forcefully, and yanked hard!

Lu Wenxuan flew up! An over-the-shoulder throw!

Bang!

Lu Wenxuan was thrown heavily onto the cold tiles, letting out a couple incoherent cries, and rolled his eyes, leaving his fate unknown.

Lin Tian hadn’t laid such a heavy hand on an ordinary person for a long time, not for anything else but for Li!

At this moment, Huang He had already been helped up by the two lawyers, sitting back in the wheelchair. Just as he adjusted, he saw this scene unfold, the visual shock was far too great!

Gulu...

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, fear suddenly arose in Huang He’s heart. He pointed at Lu Wenxuan lying motionless on the ground and asked, "Is he dead?"

Lin Tian shrugged nonchalantly, "Dead."

"..."

Huang He didn’t believe the outcome; he didn’t believe Lin Tian would dare commit murder here!

Huang He gave a lawyer a look, signaling him to check it out.

But since Lu Wenxuan was lying behind Lin Tian, the lawyer hesitated. Remembering that Mr. Huang was not someone to offend, he gathered his courage and said in front of Lin Tian, "I am a lawyer from Hess Law Firm; I need to check my colleague’s physical condition."

First declaring himself as a lawyer, hoping Lin Tian wouldn’t strike him?

Lin Tian slightly shifted his body, saying, "Go ahead and check."

The lawyer took a deep breath, steeled his nerves, and walked toward Lu Wenxuan.

As he brushed past Lin Tian, he felt like he was floating, as if walking on clouds.

Kneeling beside Lu Wenxuan’s body, he was no doctor and didn’t know how to assess a person’s injuries. All he could do was place a finger under Lu Wenxuan’s nose to check for any sign of breathing, like a layperson would.

After two or three seconds, the lawyer’s face turned pale, and he exclaimed, "Mr. Huang, Mr. Lu...has no breath."

"What?! Huang He screeched in disbelief, staring at Lin Tian, as if gazing at a prehistoric monster.

How dare he... how dare he commit murder here!
