Chapter 112 - 101: Treating Me as a National Scholar
Wu Li and Zhao Lixin walked out of the practice room with knives in hand, crossed through the courtyard corridor, and entered the main hall in the front. There wasn’t a single servant to be seen in the main hall; it seemed they had all hidden themselves.
Wu Li glanced outside through the hall’s window and saw several men armed with long blades approaching.
Though the news often reported riots and the like in foreign lands, New Country was renowned for its economic prosperity and stable public order, so negative news of this nature was rare. Hence, Wu Li had never imagined he would one day find himself in a scene straight out of a film.
Indeed, reality is always more absurd than fiction. For example, Wu Li knew that during the Korean War, a single warrior from our country, armed with one rifle and three grenades, had managed to block an enemy division for 8 hours.
No fiction would dare write such a scenario!
After all, reality isn’t bound by logic, but fiction must adhere to it...
Chen Zhengyang’s purchased estate, though geographically a bit far from the city center, was situated in a well-known affluent neighborhood. The residential area consisted solely of private villas and manors, boasting security measures claimed to be world-class. Hence, the first reaction of Fenglin Group’s security was to contact the residential area’s security personnel, but when they tried calling, no one answered.
"Have you called the police?" Zhao Lixin asked a security guard who had come to find him.
The guard nodded, "We’ve reported it; the police have been dispatched and should arrive in ten minutes."
"Ten minutes..." Wu Li looked at the crowd drawing nearer by the second outside the window, "To collect the corpses?"
In fact, what the few of them didn’t know was that on the road leading to the affluent neighborhood from the city, several cars had collided, completely blocking the road.
