Chapter 100: Resigned to One's Fate

  "Ah!!" In the wild donkey's stunned gaze, Chu Yan's hand actually produced an afterimage, and the two fingers holding the cigarette butt almost completed five attacks in one second!

  Cigarette butts don't seem powerful, but that depends on whose hands they're in. In Chu Yan's hands, the cigarette butt transforms into a weapon with formidable killing power.

  As soon as Chu Yan made his move, he wouldn't leave any hidden dangers behind. His principle had always been that if he didn't make a move, then so be it, but once he did, he must make the opponent lose their combat ability in the shortest amount of time possible. Therefore, poking eyes with cigarette butts might seem a bit perverted, but its actual effect was exceptionally perfect and effective.

  A shrill cry pierced the night sky, Chu Yan's whip-like leg kicked out in a whirlwind motion, sending all five of them tumbling to the ground as they covered their eyes and screamed!

  Having done all this, the Wild Donkey raised its arm in mid-air to hand over the Dog Leg Knife to Chu Yan. Before it even fell, not only did the Wild Donkey already know of Chu Yan's strength, but despite his low intelligence quotient in battle power, he had a hard time dealing with five people at once. However, now that he has personally witnessed it, what is called "still as a maiden, moving like a rabbit" - Chu Yan's strength this time has thoroughly brought the Wild Donkey to a height of blind worship!

  Qī Hǎi was also somewhat stunned, his five younger brothers were all knocked down like targets in just a few seconds, leaving only him alone. At this moment, Chǔ Yán had already transformed into a ruthless killer in his heart. This kid subconsciously turned around and ran!

  "Pffft!! Ah yo!!" This time, it wasn't Chu Yan who made the move, but a wildly excited Wild Donkey. The little brat's dog leg knife was gone, and instead, there was one stuck in Qi Hai's belly.

  "Chu Ge, leave the rest to me." At this moment, Ye Lu (Wild Donkey) has undergone a complete transformation, whether in terms of mentality or other aspects. This is Wild Donkey's second transformation. After this event, he finally shed his hoodlum skin and evolved into a proper big brother figure!

  Chu Yan nodded, indicating that Jingzi should get on the carriage first. Although Jingzi didn't actually have any knife wounds on her body, there were quite a few bloodstains on her clothes. As for what Ye Lu would do next, it wasn't very suitable for Jingzi to watch. After all, in order to make a name for oneself in the jianghu, many things that seemed dark and bloody had to be done!

  Chu Yan opened the car door for Zhenzi, then got in himself. The window rolled down, and Chu Yan hesitated for a moment before handing Zhenzi a cigarette. He wasn't sure if Zhenzi smoked or not, but after being with Emperor for so long, he probably should know how to smoke.

  Jingzi took the cigarette and lit it up skillfully, obviously smoking was a very ordinary thing for her. As for Chuyan, he actually didn't like women smoking that much, and had even quit smoking for a woman before. Jingzi's experience today should have a calming effect on her emotions after taking just one puff of smoke.

  Two minutes later, the mournful cries outside the car window disappeared. The wild donkey threw the blood-stained coat into the trash can and burned it clean with a fire.

  "Chu Ge, let's go, someone will come to clean up later." Although the wounds on his body were still bleeding, Ye Zi's face showed absolute loyalty and obedience to Chu Yan, in addition to respect. This was a communication between men, no need for too many words, a glance, an expression was enough.

  Chu Yan nodded and started the car to leave the scene. Five minutes later, a garbage truck slowly came from afar, and the sky gradually became overcast with dark clouds!

  "Chu Ge, let's stop here. This clinic is run by a childhood friend of mine. I also came here to get treated when I was stabbed before. Chu Ge, it's better if you don't show your face. My childhood friend has a bad attitude towards my friends, and besides, isn't it better for you to stay behind the scenes?" Unconsciously, Ye Lu's words became polite, and Chu Yan also nodded slightly, indeed, staying behind the scenes was what he had always wanted and been doing.

  "You two take a good rest, and for the next few days, Jingzi won't go to the clinic. Accompany your husband and rest well. When the Second Donkey's injury is almost healed, you can go back to work. That's it, I'm leaving now." Chu Yan said, started the car and left.

  As Wild Donkey and Jingzi walked into a private clinic in the alley that had already closed, raindrops also floated down from the sky.

  In Chu Yan's car, a faint smell of blood was floating around. To be honest, Chu Yan quite liked this smell, but now it had to be cleaned up thoroughly, so he drove straight to a self-service car wash in the northern part of the city.

  When Chu Yan returned to the hotel room, outside the window, it was already pouring heavily. On such a night, it was most suitable for doing things that couldn't be seen in daylight. After taking a shower, Chu Yan sat on the sofa and casually turned on the TV. He pondered recent events in his mind while the TV played the midnight news.

  "Latest news, a team of extraterrestrial explorers led by the United States recently released a batch of photos sent back by satellites. In a recent announcement, they claimed to have found a new planet suitable for human habitation, and this set of satellite-taken photos is said to be images of that very planet... The TV news was playing an international version, where some of the latest foreign news can be obtained with official data."

  Those photos were blurry, but Chu Yan's line of sight was still drawn to them at the first moment. Although the official life is majestic and magnificent, in Chu Yan's eyes, what can be seen is absolutely a different perspective.

  "Zi Lan Xing... this photo is probably not officially released, right?" When it comes to that news known to the whole world, Chu Yan has more direct speaking rights. That planet is indeed suitable for human habitation, but there are too many unknowns on that planet as well. The high-level military departments of member countries of the military alliance such as China, the US, Russia, France, and the UK are all very clear about this. Almost every country with considerable strength on Earth has stationed its most powerful military forces on that planet, but the speed of exploration of Zi Lan Xing is still abnormally slow, and for most of the time, they can only hide and defend.

  In a place full of crisis and opportunity, ordinary people would absolutely not know too much real information, only military personnel would know more, such as this old soldier who had gone through hardships from Planet Azure to return to Earth!

  The news on TV was playing one after another, while Chu Yan's mind had already returned to that place that made him infatuated.

  "You're too old, go home and farm!"

  "T-1 is no longer in existence from today on, you can leave..."

  ……

  "Ding Dong!" With his eyes closed, Chu Yan's mind was filled with the scene that had once brought him to the verge of tears. Suddenly, a pleasant doorbell sound came from beside his ear.

  Look at the time, it's already 1 o'clock in the morning, who could it be at this hour?

  When he arrived at the door, Chu Yan didn't open it directly. Instead, he stood at the entrance and listened for a moment. After hearing some anxious gasps outside the door, he finally opened it. A pair of long legs entered his line of sight first. Without saying, among Chu Yan's friends, there were many with long legs, but only one had this length. Looking at Duanmu Linglong standing outside the door, Chu Yan was a bit puzzled.

  "I said, why are you not going home in the middle of the night and running to this place?" Du Mu Linglong outside the door, this little girl's outfit today is quite provocative, wearing a white T-shirt on top, a pair of cowboy ultra-short skirt on the bottom, and a pair of white tennis shoes on her feet.

  Normally, this outfit has nothing to do with being seductive, but if you add a T-shirt that's been drenched in the rain and a pair of cowboy shorts that are still dripping wet? If that's not enough, how about adding two long legs that have gotten soaked by the rainwater? Yes, bare, without stockings.

  "Wait a minute, I'll go take a bath first!" As soon as the door opened, before Chu Yan could invite her in, Duanmu Linglong rushed into the room and dashed towards the bathroom. By the time Chu Yan closed the door and walked over to the sofa, the sound of water splashing could already be heard from the bathroom.

  On the coffee table in front of the sofa, there was a small and exquisite card machine. Although Chu Yan wanted to see what this little girl had taken, out of respect for Duan Mu Linglong's privacy, he chose to take a sneak peek without letting her know.

  "Cough, cough... this woman... seems to look quite familiar?" After glancing through all the photos in the camera, Chu Yan put it back in its original place. All the photos inside were of the same woman, and that woman seemed to be someone he had seen before.

  "Jin Sa Sa!!" Suddenly, a name jumped into Chu Yan's mind. That woman was the host of the supermodel contest that had become Du Mu Linglong's stepmother, and she herself was also a supermodel who had won countless awards.

  "Chu Yan, get me a clean set of clothes," Ling'er ordered loudly from the bathroom. Chu Yan handed over a set of athletic wear he had prepared earlier to Ling'er, who had opened a gap in the bathroom door.

  "Is there hot tea?" Soon, Duanmu Linglong walked out of the bathroom, wearing Chu Yan's clothes, which were a bit big on her, but still okay, not too exaggerated, after all, Duanmu Linglong and Chu Yan's heights differed by more than ten centimeters.

  "Ginger tea, drink up." Chu Yan smiled and handed a steaming cup of ginger tea to Duanmu Linglong, who had been prepared for her. After this little girl warmed up, they started chatting sentence by sentence.

  ……

  In the East China Sea Clinic, Yeli got up from the operating table. The three knife wounds on his body had been treated and Jingzi's condition had also been checked. Jingzi was fine, with only minor soft tissue injuries. To put it bluntly, it was just a soft tissue injury. Yeli was lucky too. Although he had been slashed several times, none of the cuts had reached the bone. After suturing and applying medicine to the wounds, all he needed was some rest and he would be fine.

  "Haidong, thank you!" The wild donkey sat on the chair in the clinic, although it was painful and gritted its teeth, but still had to say thanks to the busy doctor who hadn't made a sound.

  "Zheng Ge, I don't want to interfere with your life too much, but now that you have a wife, the two of you are meant to be lifelong companions. If you continue down this path, I'm not sure if you'll end up going further or not. After all, in the line of work you're in, it's hard to know when you might suddenly die on the streets. The words may be harsh, but you should understand what I mean." Hai Dong's voice was very calm, and the brotherly bond between him and Wild Donkey was deep and unshakeable, even if they had taken completely different paths in life.

  "Hai Dong, I understand what you mean, don't worry, from now on, I'll be more careful on the road ahead. Of course, I won't guarantee that I can live to be a hundred years old, but at least before I die, even if I'm chopped up beyond recognition, I won't forget your kindness towards me. This feeling, brother, is etched in my heart!" Ye Lü smiled and nodded, this wasn't the first time Hai Dong had advised him.

  "Zheng Ge, after all these years as brothers, don't say such things anymore. Rest here for now, we'll leave when the rain stops tomorrow. If your wound gets infected, it'll be a hassle. Alright, you know where the room is, I'm going to rest. Being woken up in the middle of the night by you yelling really isn't pleasant!" The doctor in a white coat with a mask said as he returned to his own resting quarters, while Ye Lu was supported by Zhen Zi and also went back to his usual resting room.

  Lying in bed, Zhenzi curled up in Ye Liu's arms "Zheng Ge, if it weren't for Chu Ge, wouldn't the two of us have gone to the Yellow Springs together today?"

  "Don't worry, I know," said the wild donkey, holding Jingzi tightly in his arms...
