A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 1555 Xu Pingqiu: This move sounds familiar! (Please subscribe!)

After being reminded by Hua Shier, the terrified fan finally came to her senses:
"Yeah, boss, I'm your henchman, what am I afraid of!"

Although he said that, his legs were trembling when he stood up.

Hua Shier chuckled: "Seeing how agitated you were, I thought you were going to avenge Scar Rat."

Pinky spat at the scarred rat on the ground and forced a smile:
"Boss, you're joking! I have absolutely no connection with Scar Rat now!"

Hua Shier's eyes widened, his face full of admiration: "It's rare to see such a loyal follower as you..."

Pinkie Pie smiled憨厚ly, but Hua Twelve continued to explain:
"Your boss committed murder, and you voluntarily spat out your DNA to take the blame for me. If you get arrested, I'll definitely take good care of your mother."

Pinkie's smile instantly turned into something more like a grimace. He really wanted to slap himself twice. Why was he so annoying? What was he saying?

He looked at the former boss, Scar Rat, whose left eye was bleeding, on the ground, and wondered whether he should destroy the evidence.

Hua Shier ignored him, walked over and pulled the switchblade off Scar Rat's forehead, then walked straight toward the two women.

The two women, hanging there, witnessed the entire process of Hua Twelve's actions. When they saw this ruthless man, who had killed several people, approaching, Scarface Rat's lover immediately wet herself in fear.

She stared at Hua Shier with terrified eyes, making muffled noises, her whole body trembling like a leaf.

Lin Yujing, the busty woman, had a complicated look in her eyes. She never imagined that this newly graduated undercover agent would have such a ruthless side.

For a moment, she even wondered if the other party wanted to kill her to silence her.

Hua Shier stepped forward and removed the object that was stuffed in their mouths.

Before Lin Yujing could speak, Scar Rat's lover trembled and begged for mercy:
"Big brother, please don't kill me! I'll give you anything, I can sleep with you... Oh, right, I still have the videotape of Scarred Rat killing Hat, I'll give you everything, please let me go..."

Hua Shier and Lin Yujing were both taken aback. They hadn't expected this woman to be so afraid of death, resorting to desperate measures and saying whatever came to mind.

However, for Hua Twelve, this was a lucky accident.

If nothing unexpected happens, the hat that was killed by Scar Rat should belong to Lin Yujing's fiancé, the undercover agent Guan Haifei who sacrificed his life.

Hua Shier gave Lin Yujing a wink, signaling her not to speak rashly. Then he went over, used a switchblade to cut the rope suspending Scarface's lover, and lowered him down before saying:
"I can spare your life, but you'd better learn to shut up. Remember, you didn't see Scar Rat today, and you didn't see me either, understand?"

"Thank you so much, brother! Thank you so much, brother!"

Scar Rat's lover covered her mouth and nodded repeatedly, tears streaming down her face, her eyes filled with the joy of surviving a disaster—she knew her life was spared.

Hua Shier nodded in satisfaction and then instructed the boy behind him:

"Go drive this girl home, get the videotape, and then go back to the toy factory and wait for me!"

Pinky stepped forward to help Scarface Rat's lover up, and the two quickly left the warehouse.

As for how the Chinese Twelve Associations would deal with the woman in the hat, they didn't dare to ask.

After the two left, Hua Shier put Lin Yujing down and asked indifferently:
"If I remember correctly, according to regulations, no fewer than two people should be present when collecting evidence, except in special circumstances, right? Why did you go alone?"

"Furthermore, you, as a family member of the victim, should have recused yourself from Guan Haifei's case. So, your investigation of Scarface's lover was your own unauthorized action, wasn't it?"

Lin Yujing looked ashamed, and Hua Shier knew he had guessed correctly.

He raised his hand and slapped Lin Yujing across the face:

"Are you a pig? Do you know how much responsibility Xu Pingqiu will have to bear if you die here?"

One slap wasn't enough, so Hua Shier slapped her again with his backhand. With a 'smack,' a clear handprint was left on Lin Yujing's other cheek, causing her fair face to quickly swell and turn red.

"This slap is for myself!"

Hua Shier gets angry just talking about it:
"In that situation, it was only because it was me. If it were anyone else, you would have killed someone, you know that?"

"Now you've messed up my mission completely. I killed Scarface Rat, I killed Han Fuhu, tell me, what's the next step in this case?"

Lin Yujing used to be very arrogant in front of Hua Shier and the other recent graduates, acting as if they were all nobodies.

But now, her arrogance has been completely shattered by Hua Shier's two slaps.

With tears in her eyes, she sincerely apologized:

"Yes, I'm sorry. Don't worry, I... I'll keep it a secret for you."

Lin Yujing clearly misunderstood Hua Shier's meaning.

Hua Shier was talking about what to do about the mission, but Lin Yujing thought he was worried that his superiors would find out about the murder.

Although Hua Shier killed someone to protect Lin Yujing, which is technically an act of emergency avoidance, as an undercover agent, directly committing lethal violence, deviating from the established action plan, causing multiple deaths, and losing a key intelligence source constitutes a serious violation of regulations.

In this situation, regardless of the premise, an internal investigation is almost certain to be triggered.

If it's written in the report, Hua Twelve won't face criminal charges, but he'll definitely receive internal disciplinary action.

For a recent graduate starting his career, an internal disciplinary action is practically the end of his career. Forget about promotions in the future; it's all just wishful thinking.

Lin Yujing thought that Hua Shier was angry because of this, so she felt guilty.

"Keep it secret? Keep what secret?"

Hua Shier didn't know what Lin Yujing was thinking. He just felt that this woman was a bit strange. Wasn't it because you acted on your own that things turned out like this? Why are you keeping secrets from me?

Before he could even figure out what the other person was thinking, he saw Lin Yujing suddenly stand up, run to one of Scar Rat's henchmen, pick up the pistol that the henchman had dropped, and then turn around and, without even aiming at Scar Rat on the ground, pull the trigger.

Bah!
The bullet struck Scar Rat's right thigh, near the groin.

An unexpected scene unfolded: Scarred Rat, who had been lying motionless on the ground like a dead pig, suddenly let out a miserable scream and began to convulse as if it had been electrocuted.

That bastard is still alive!
It turns out that although Hua Shier had plunged the knife into Scar Rat's left eye socket and was moving it around wildly, the blade of the switchblade was not long after all. The tip of the knife only shredded the eyeball and the soft tissue inside the socket, and failed to penetrate the base of the skull and reach the brainstem.

The reason the scarred rat collapsed was purely due to shock and coma caused by severe pain, which was not yet fatal. Of course, if it did not receive timely help, it could still die from excessive blood loss.

At that moment, Lin Yujing shot him, and the intense pain abruptly pulled Scar Rat back from his unconscious state.

Out of curiosity, Hua Shier took a peek with his X-ray vision and instantly gasped.

No wonder Scarred Rat, who had fainted from the pain, was woken up by the pain. It turns out Scarred Rat was slightly to the right, and that shot was really accurate, resulting in a complete disaster.

Scar Rat screamed and his body convulsed. His desire to live allowed him, through his remaining right eye, to see that the person who shot him was the female cop he had captured.

In an instant, he understood something, and enduring the excruciating pain, he pleaded:

"No, don't kill me, who are you?"

Bah!
Lin Yujing fired another shot with trembling hands, then cried out:

"You bastard, the undercover agent you killed was my fiancé! Do you even know we were about to get married? You ruined everything for me! You deserve to die!"

This time, the bullet struck Scar Rat's collarbone, causing him to scream in agony and lose the ability to beg for mercy.

Just as Lin Yujing was about to fire her third shot, Hua Shier suddenly remembered that he had promised Scarface Rat that day that he would give him an AK and bullets.

These few poems by Hua Shier make me feel that I must keep my word.

He immediately took out an AK from his storage space, and before Lin Yujing fired the third shot, he called out:
"Wait, use this!"

“Scar Rat told me himself that he used brass knuckles to shatter all the bones in your fiancé’s body, one punch after another. You’ll feel better if you take revenge with that!”

Lin Yujing only understood why Xu Pingqiu wouldn't let her see Guan Haifei one last time or see the autopsy report after her fiancé's accident, after Hua Shier relayed Scar Rat's words. It turned out that Xu Pingqiu was afraid that she wouldn't be able to accept that her fiancé died so tragically.

In an instant, all the sadness and tears she had endured over this period of time transformed into a surging hatred. Without even considering where the AK came from, she took it, pulled the bolt, and fired directly at the struggling Scarred Rat on the ground.
"Da da da da da—"

A whole magazine of bullets poured out, spent casings clattering all over the ground. Scarface's body, battered by the hail of bullets, trembled violently for a few seconds before completely losing its shape. Hua Twelve, standing nearby, gave Scarface a thumbs-up, indicating that he kept his word and the bullets had been delivered!

After firing a magazine of bullets, Lin Yujing gasped for breath, the gun still emitting wisps of smoke.

The redness and swelling under her eyes hadn't subsided, but she seemed to feel much more relaxed.

Having avenged his great grudge, at this moment, all the negative emotions of the past six months, such as sadness, repression, and hatred, seemed to pour out along with the bullet that had just been fired, making him feel indescribably relieved.

At this moment, she regained her composure, looked at the AK in her hand, and asked Hua Twelve:
Where did you get this gun?

Hua Shier gestured towards the corner of the wall with his lip: "Just put it over there. Maybe Scar Rat and the others originally hid it in the warehouse."

Lin Yujing glanced at the area in the corner piled with miscellaneous goods—wooden crates, old tires, and a few pieces of oilcloth—and immediately nodded, accepting Hua Shier's explanation.

She said to Hua Twelve:

"Now that we've both made mistakes, you don't need to worry about me betraying you!"

Hua Shier then realized that her sudden outburst had both a purpose of revenge and a purpose of reassuring him.

I couldn't help but laugh:
"Our situations are completely different. I was trying to save you in an emergency, while you were doing it to settle a personal score. If I were to report you later, you'd go to jail, and I might even get a commendation!"

Lin Yujing was taken aback at first, then angrily threw the AK on the ground:
"Then go ahead and sue me!"

"You're taking it out on me, aren't you? You're such a terrible teammate!"

Hua Shier raised his hand, startling Lin Yujing.

This reminded Lin Yujing of the case, and she felt a pang of shame. After hesitating for a moment, she asked:

"Then, what about the mission?"

"Make it cold!"

Hua Shier replied irritably, then took out his phone and called Xu Pingqiu.

Under Lin Yujing's anxious expression, Hua Shier gave a brief report on the situation.

He only mentioned that he had taken emergency evasive action to save Lin Yujing, killing Scarface Rat and Han Fuhu, but did not mention that the latter had also fired a shot.

Xu Pingqiu was furious on the phone:
"What's wrong with Xiaolin? I knew she was acting strangely today, saying she wasn't feeling well and asking for leave. Are you all alright?"

Xu Pingqiu was furious, but since the deed was done, he quickly calmed down:

"Your situation is extremely dangerous. I am ordering you to end your undercover operation now, stay put, and tell me the address. We're coming there immediately!"

His voice was quite loud, and Lin Yujing could hear it clearly from the side.

At first, when she was being scolded, she felt guilty and didn't say anything. But now that she heard the undercover mission was over, she couldn't sit still anymore and quickly asked:
"Director Xu, what should we do about that case?"

Xu Pingqiu said irritably, "What else can we do but close the net ahead of schedule!"

Lin Yujing fell silent, looking remorseful.

Closing the net now could very well lead to failure. The rich man and the factory might be hard to catch again. And most importantly, if Director Xu and his team arrive, how do we explain the scarred rat that's been riddled with bullets?

Hua Shier then spoke into the phone:

"Director Xu, you guys come over and handle the scene first. We can talk about closing the net later. I have an idea I'd like to discuss with you first."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone and sent Xu Pingqiu his location.

Lin Yujing's voice trembled as she pointed at the scarred rat on the ground: "What about him?"

Hua Shier glanced at Han Fuhu not far away.
Xu Pingqiu quickly arrived with his team, and the veteran detective was taken aback when he saw the scene.

Han Fuhu's corpse was seen with an AK held in both hands, his fingers tightly gripping the trigger, while Scar Rat held a bloodstained switchblade.

Xu Pingqiu immediately asked Hua Twelve:
"Didn't you say before that you had taken care of them?"

Hua Shier spoke with righteous indignation:
"I bragged a bunch of nonsense on the phone!"

"Actually, they got into a fight because they were vying to be with the busty woman first. You know, these criminals have no bottom line, especially when they're drunk they can't control themselves. They started arguing and then they began to fight. Let me describe what happened to you."

Hua Shier immediately began to describe the so-called 'incident process,' gesturing wildly and talking animatedly!

"At the time, Scarface said he would go first, but Han Fuhu said no, because he also wanted to go first!"

"Then Scarface brandished the AK, trying to intimidate Han Fuhu, but Han was a real beast. He pulled out a dagger and struck first, blinding Scarface in one eye!"

"Having succeeded in one move, Han Fuhu pressed his advantage, taking advantage of Scarface's painful howls to snatch the AK from his hand with a move called 'Stealing the Staff from a Mastiff'."

Xu Pingqiu: This move sounds familiar!

Hua Shier spoke eloquently:
"Han Fuhu was about to fire his AK when Scarface, a ruthless fellow, pulled out a switchblade from his eye socket at that crucial moment and roared: 'Father's essence and mother's blood, no... Oops, wrong channel.'"

"He used a move similar to Li Xunhuan's Flying Dagger, flicking his wrist, and the dagger turned into a white streak, instantly slicing through Han Fuhu's throat!"

"The switchblade continued its momentum and then pierced the forehead of one of the henchmen!"

"By the time Scarface used the Dragon-Capturing Skill to recall the dagger, it was too late. Han Fuhu's throat was cut, and in his dying moments, he pulled the trigger, beating Scarface into this state. It can be said that the two of them died together!"

"My role here was negligible. I only killed two of Scar Rat's remaining henchmen. They wanted to attack me, so I was forced to defend myself."

Xu Pingqiu was speechless:
"Are you telling a story? Or have you been reading too many martial arts novels? Don't think I didn't notice the Three Kingdoms segment in the middle!"

"He even had a dagger stuck in his eye, and he pulled it out to take everyone down with him? Why don't you just fly to the moon!"

Hua Shier shrugged: "That's just how it is. If you don't believe me, ask Big-Breasted Sister!"

Lin Yujing nodded, blushing, "It's about right, but I didn't really see it clearly!"

She added in her mind, "It's only a little over a hundred miles away; I just need to fill in the gaps in my imagination."

Xu Pingqiu didn't believe a single word Hua Shier said, but the results of the forensic examination at the scene were almost identical to what Hua Shier had said.

The traces and everything match perfectly.

After hearing the forensic doctor's conclusion, Lin Yujing looked at Hua Shier with a surprised expression, her eyes conveying the message: How can you fake the scene so professionally? Even the forensic doctor couldn't tell!

Hua Twelve: There's nothing special about it, it's just a matter of practice. That's how we Imperial Guards do things. The more you do it, the more skilled you become.

Xu Pingqiu glanced at Hua Shier, then at Lin Yujing:
"That's enough, do you think I'm blind? Can't I see you exchanging glances and signals?"

Hua Shier put his arm around Xu Pingqiu's shoulder:

"Old Xu, let's leave the scene to the forensic doctor; they're the professionals. Let's talk about this case; I have a new idea about it."

That night, Shen Jiawen was on the sofa in the villa, wearing a face mask while watching TV.

On the television, a variety show was reaching an exciting moment when the scene suddenly cut, and a serious-looking host was sitting upright.

"Dear viewers, we are now interrupting our broadcast with an urgent notice from the Municipal Public Security Bureau requesting assistance in an investigation."

The host's clear and urgent voice came through simultaneously:
"This evening, a vicious shooting occurred in a seaside fishing village in the southern suburbs of our city, resulting in multiple deaths. An investigation has revealed that a young man is a prime suspect and may be at large. The suspect's details are below!"

"Yu Tianlong, male, 24 years old, approximately 1.78 meters tall, medium build, short hair."

As the host spoke, a photo of Hua Shier taken in the detention center appeared on the screen, next to a large, bold police notice.

"This suspect is extremely dangerous and may be carrying a firearm. The public is urged to be vigilant and report any information to the police immediately. A cash reward will be given to anyone who provides crucial clues or assists in the arrest."
