Chapter 445 This Joke Isn’t Funny
Beihuai Gu rushed over with his men to the rescue, only to witness a bizarre scene.
Lying on the ground were six guys, each one flopping like mud, completely unable to do anything but wriggle.
Tang Chuxia saw Beihuai Gu coming and immediately burst into tears, "Beihuai Gu, why did it take you so long? I was scared to death!"
Beihuai Gu looked at Tang Chuxia, who threw herself into his arms, and then at the several struggling figures on the ground.
Finally, he turned to look at Qin Zhan and the others, who had followed him, his expression incredibly complex, at a loss for words for a moment.
Jaws dropped one after another, everyone doubting their own eyes, vigorously rubbing them.
Only Gu Nanzhi rushed over, pulling Tang Chuxia from Beihuai Gu’s embrace, checking her body up and down.
"Unharmed? How can you be unharmed? They had guns!"
Gu Nanzhi still couldn’t believe it.
Luckily, Beihuai Gu beside her reminded his dear sister, "Have you forgotten about her skills?"
Tang Chuxia chuckled dryly, not expecting Beihuai Gu to reveal it so bluntly.
Gu Nanzhi slapped her forehead in realization.
Considering how Tang Chuxia had just tossed her out, taking on six wasn’t really a problem.
"But that’s not right, they had guns!"
Gu Nanzhi clearly remembered their threats.
Tang Chuxia scratched her chin, "Fake!"
Nowadays, firearms are controlled weapons, not permitted for private possession.
Tang Chuxia was also willing to risk injury to stop them and hadn’t expected that they were wielding wooden ones.
It was quite insulting.
"So what’s the deal with them?"
If Tang Chuxia could knock them down, why were they all boneless?
Qin Zhan squatted down to examine one of the flashily dressed guys, then asked Tang Chuxia with a ghost-seen expression, "Xiaxia sis, did you dislocate all of their bones?"
Tang Chuxia shook her head, "Of course not, I dislocated all the joints that could move, but not the thoracic and spinal vertebrae, dislocating those can kill a person!"
So other than being immobile, she had dislocated everything.
Even their finger bones had been individually dislocated.
In terms of terror, everyone would probably say it was Tang Chuxia.
She was already capable of doing so much.
Beihuai Gu pinched the bridge of his nose, "They’re not enemies!"
Tang Chuxia uttered an "Oh," "But they were dressed so flashily and insisted on frightening me!"
Tang Chuxia felt wronged too; she had been genuinely scared, especially since the fifth day of the fifth lunar month was nearing, and she was considering what her impending life-threatening crisis might entail.
It seemed she had been overly anxious.
Qin Zhan was only good at fixing jaw dislocations, helping the flashy man close his jaw, yet he still couldn’t make a sound.
Qin Zhan had to look toward Tang Chuxia.
"One of the small joints below his Adam’s apple is out of place!"
Tang Chuxia kindly pointed out the reason why he couldn’t speak.
Qin Zhan helplessly declared, "I only know how to fix jaws!"
Tang Chuxia uttered an "Oh," looking towards Beihuai Gu.
Beihuai Gu did not immediately ask Tang Chuxia to reset their joints but instead instructed the people who had come with him, "Carry them back, let them have a good taste of the consequences, and not be so full of themselves when there’s no real trouble!"
Gu Nanzhi was witnessing Tang Chuxia’s abilities for the first time, and then thought of the odd expression on the face of the orthopedic doctor in Mrs. Gu’s hospital when he mentioned Tang Chuxia, wondering what that was all about.
So this is the situation.
Upon returning to that derelict house, Tang Chuxia saw Qin Zhan open up a hole, and everyone walked in.
Only then did Tang Chuxia and Gu Nanzhi realize that this dilapidated house actually had mechanisms.
"No wonder I couldn’t find anyone before!"
Tang Chuxia remarked with feeling, while Gu Nanzhi snorted coldly, "I was frantically screaming here to call for reinforcements for you!"
Tang Chuxia: ...
She could quite imagine what Gu Nanzhi was like at the time.
Qin Zhan nodded his head, "Zhizhi really did put in a lot of effort, covered in bits of kindling, I thought she was some little beggar from who knows where, if it wasn’t for her cry that was frightening enough to scare the dead, we wouldn’t have come out!"
Gu Nanzhi retorted irritably, "If you hadn’t kept hiding, would I have needed to go to such lengths?"
Tang Chuxia rubbed her nose, not wanting to listen to their argument.
She began to look around the room, wondering what she would find, only to be surprised by the scene before her:
A fighting arena, chains, a giant hammer, steel racks...
Had she not seen it with her own eyes, she would have thought it was some kind of underground boxing club.
"Stop looking, get the person dressed first, or we can’t talk!"
Gu Beihuai dragged Tang Chuxia back.
"No, they threatened me!"
Tang Chuxia looked completely unhappy, feeling uncomfortable all over.
If they hadn’t touched her, she wouldn’t have been frightened out of her wits, overreacted, and nearly scared them all to death.
Gu Beihuai sighed and began to introduce her.
"This flamboyant troublemaker is our comrade, good at disguising!"
Tang Chuxia pointed at the flamboyant guy and asked Gu Beihuai, "Are you sure he’s the one who’s good at disguising? Are all your opponents blind?"
How else could anyone think this kind of person is good at disguising?
Gu Beihuai, helpless, continued, "He’s supposed to be posing as some spy leader this time!"
Tang Chuxia looked him up and down, clueless about what a spy leader looked like—it was more like a good-for-nothing in need of a thrashing.
Especially since his appearance at the time was truly hard on the eyes.
The flamboyant guy couldn’t speak, his mouth dripping saliva, looking particularly idiotic.
"His name is Zhang Zhi!"
Tang Chuxia came to a realization: "No wonder when I saw him, I thought he was a complete moron, it came with the name!"
Gu Beihuai: ...
Not to the point of making fun of someone’s name.
But he knew Zhang Zhi was his comrade: "Wife, help him get dressed again, he’s in a sorry state!"
Tang Chuxia snorted, getting scared out of her mind once, and not being able to retaliate, anyone would be frustrated.
Tang Chuxia had no choice but to say, "Fine, I can put him together, but he has to apologize!"
Zhang Zhi’s eyeballs nearly turned to fiery wheels, truly afraid he couldn’t express himself properly and had to maintain this state.
Under the twisted faces of Qin Zhan and Gu Beihuai, Tang Chuxia casually reassembled Zhang Zhi’s joints, complaining as she did it, "Don’t you know resetting joints is tough work? Not even a sip of water prepared for me!"
The guys behind Qin Zhan immediately went to boil and pour water.
They thought Qin Zhan and Gu Beihuai were nearly inhuman, but Gu Beihuai’s wife was not just inhuman, she was the devil.
No devil was scarier than Tang Chuxia.
The sound of bones rubbing together, combined with Zhang Zhi’s twisted, soundless expression, had a tremendous deterrent effect.
"Why didn’t you reset his throat first?"
