From picking up corpses to becoming a true god of America

Chapter 128 I'm the victim!

"Not trouble? Do you want to scare that old guy away, or do you want to kill him?"

Upon hearing Professor Erich's words, Williams and several other senior students in the office couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Damn it, has Ye Chi gone crazy from writing so many reports?

This is illegal!

However, faced with the mountain of documents, papers, and data piled up on the table.

Many of my fellow students even had the same idea.

It seems that simply killing Professor Charlie might be simpler?

Seeing that the professor's expression was off, and that he was silent with a dark face, Williams felt that he had to stand up, maintain the team's morale, and protect Ye Xiao at the same time.

"Ye, how dare you talk to me like that!"

"Hurry up and apologize to the professor. It's just organizing some materials. You haven't been reading or writing enough papers."

"Professor, please don't take Ye's actions to heart—"

However, before Williams could finish speaking, he saw Erich frown.

She quickly approached Ye Xiao, not stopping him, but instead asking seriously, "Ye, what exactly is your relationship with the councilor's daughter? If I were to hire someone to commit murder, could you help me clean up the mess?"

No, Professor?

So this is your personality?

Ye Xiao was shocked.

He just mentioned it casually, but he didn't expect Erich to actually dare to think of it!

It's easier to deal with the person who started the dispute than to resolve the academic dispute, right?

Williams and the others were also terrified.

No wonder no one at the University of Washington dared to go against Professor Ehrlich; it turns out this old man is ruthless.

Losing an argument can ruin an academic career, while winning can cost you your life.

It turns out that Professor Ehrlich was the funeral director of the medical field!

"That might be a bit difficult, wouldn't it?"

Ye Xiao curled his lip and said, "Professor, isn't America a country ruled by law? This kind of thing isn't encouraged here, is it?"

"Hmph, you actually believed all that nonsense?"

"A country ruled by law? Which of those lawmakers doesn't have a few lives on their hands?"

Erich pursed his lips: "Fine, I won't make things difficult for you. Keep organizing the materials."

The lab is busy again.

Williams felt a bit of chest tightness and dizziness, so he stood up, poured himself a cup of coffee, and went to the window to let the cool breeze blow on him and clear his head.

Outside the window was the University of Washington, shrouded in night. It was already past midnight, and the entire campus was quiet. Apart from their room, there were hardly any lights to be seen.

That's fucking black.

Williams grumbled and began to complain about Professor Charlie and his group.

If they hadn't come looking for trouble, he wouldn't be working overtime here all night.

Looking at the hotel not far away, Williams couldn't help but think about it.

I hope that something bad happens to Professor Charlie and his group, just as the professor said.

However, at that moment, Williams' eyes lit up as he suddenly noticed several points of light on the hotel building in the night.

Wait, what's going on here?

Am I hallucinating because I've been staying up too late?

Williams stared wide-eyed, only to see the distant light growing brighter and brighter, even beginning to spread and billowing with thick smoke.

The hotel where Professor Charlie was staying caught fire!

"Holy shit! My God!"

Williams cried out in alarm, gripping the windowsill tightly to keep himself from falling.

Meanwhile, at the hotel.

Upon noticing the fire, Professor Charlie, escorted by his students, immediately went to the refuge floor upstairs.

Although they cannot escape immediately, there is a water source here, and the area is well-sealed, so there is no immediate danger.

Wearing his pajamas and looking somewhat disheveled, Professor Charlie stared blankly at the pitch-black wall, clearly in a very bad mood.

I don't know which damn bastard dared to set fire to the hotel; it was obviously aimed at him!

Don't they know this is his property?

I wonder how things are going with Collins.

There's still no news. Maybe Ye Xiao killed him?

So it seems very likely that the fire tonight was started by Ye Xiaoqian!

That despicable Dongda boy, he's so heartless!

I was just testing the waters, and they retaliated so quickly?

Is he really unwilling to hold grudges overnight?

However, that bastard still overlooked one thing.

Even when the entire building was on fire, Professor Charlie remained completely calm.

His beloved students would definitely protect him and help him escape safely.

Professor Charlie was furious. Ye Xiao dared to attack him; he was practically asking for death!

Even if Erich continues to protect him, he will still tie that guy to the operating table and dissect him alive!

"Professor, there are footsteps downstairs."

A student's voice roused the furious Professor Charlie.

He blinked and looked at the protective door glowing with a green fluorescent light, vaguely hearing what sounded like noisy footsteps coming from outside.

Are they refugees or rescue teams?

Hmph, anyway, he'll definitely go find Erich and get to the bottom of this tomorrow!

As the footsteps grew closer, Professor Charlie gave a word of advice.

"Be careful, don't expose yourselves."

"Yes."

Several students quickly sat down, pretending to look weak and flustered.

The protective door opened quickly, and a beam of bright flashlight shone in through the billowing black smoke, blinding Professor Charlie and the others.

Are there any survivors inside?

A clear, crisp female voice came from the doorway.

"Thank God, you've finally arrived."

"It's just us and our professor here. Please get us out of here quickly."

"Just you guys?"

Then several tall figures entered, shining flashlights around the area.

After confirming that they were alone, Livia nodded and walked toward Professor Charlie, who was sitting at the very back.

"Okay, come out with us."

"Thank you, kind lady."

However, just as Professor Charlie reached out his hand, Livia suddenly swung her red crowbar and smashed it hard against his head.

"Damn it, they're assassins!"

Professor Charlie took a solid hit from the stick and screamed in alarm.

The monks who had come with Livia suddenly made their move.

Caught off guard, Professor Charlie's entourage was beaten and fled in panic.

They then realized that this group of people was not a rescue team, but an attacker.

"Quick! Protect the professor!"

"You bunch of bastards!"

However, shrouded in smoke, Professor Charlie's men had difficulty making out their figures.

Using the bright light of their flashlights, the monks wielded their crowbars almost like the wind.

Fortunately, Professor Charlie had also been enhanced; otherwise, at his age of sixty or seventy, he might have been finished off by Livia's blow.

"No, we have to get out of here!"

Professor Charlie, clutching his blood-soaked head, led his students in a desperate escape downstairs.

If it weren't for this awful thick smoke, they wouldn't be in such a sorry state.

After they fled down several floors, Professor Charlie and the others hid in a corridor that had not yet been damaged, panting heavily.

Damn it, those bastards!

Professor Charlie had never seen such despicable thugs, who were so heartless as to set fire to the place to force them out!

What pained Professor Charlie even more was that he also owned shares in the hotel!

This is a huge loss!

"Professor, this is terrible! They're catching up!"

One of his men heard a flurry of footsteps coming from the emergency exit staircase and exclaimed in alarm.

"Damn it, they're not going to let us go!"

Professor Charlie said coldly, "Kill those bastards!"

"yes!"

In the dimly lit stairwell, several glaring lights shone again.

Someone shouted again, "Is anyone still here? We're from the Seattle Fire Department."

"Damn it, they dared to lie to us!"

"Go to hell, you bastard!"

Just as the group entered the building, Professor Charlie's students swarmed forward, cornering the three poor souls in the corridor and launching a righteous beating.

"Wait, don't hit us! We really are from the fire department!"

"Are you all crazy? I'm here to save you, oh my god!"

The three poor souls cried out in alarm.

However, the students simply didn't give them a chance.

"Damn it, we're still Johns Hopkins University!"

"Still pretending, huh? We're targeting the fire department!"

These guys are really stubborn.

They've been beaten up like this, and they still claim to be from the fire department.

Professor Charlie's lips curled into a disdainful sneer.

He picked up the flashlight that had fallen to the ground, shone it over, and his previously cold and aloof face suddenly froze.

Under the bright lights, three figures in red and yellow uniforms could be seen huddled miserably on the ground, with the fire department logo clearly visible on their orange helmets.

Damn it, it seems they really hit the wrong person.

The students were stunned for a moment, and all turned to look at Professor Charlie.

That innocent look seemed to be an attempt to shift blame, as if the professor had ordered them to do it.

These unfilial sons!

Professor Charlie could only swallow his anger and blame Ye Xiao for it.

Damn bastard, don't let me catch you!

Under the influence of money, the three firefighters who had been beaten quickly forgot the unpleasantness and led Professor Charlie and the others to the hotel downstairs.

By this time, many fire trucks had gathered in the surrounding area.

Professor Charlie sat on the side of the street, looking up, and saw that his hotel had transformed into a huge torch, soaring into the sky and illuminating the night.

The fire not only burned upstairs, but also burned into his heart.

No, we absolutely cannot let him get away with this!

We must not let those bastards get away with this!

Professor Charlie grew angrier the more he thought about it.

He's been in the medical field for so many years, and he's always been the one dissecting others and bullying others. He's never been bullied like this before.

Weren't those guys planning to play dirty tricks?

Then we'll just be straightforward with them!

Isn't there a case being investigated in Seattle?

"Can I borrow your phone?"

Professor Charlie gave a stern shout, and soon a student handed him a cell phone.

He quickly dialed a number.

"Hey, Dennis? I've been attacked, and the culprits might be the group you're tracking!"

"Yes, that's right, it was that hotel; the entire building burned down!"

Wait to die!

Professor Charlie thought with schadenfreude.

Dare to mess with me.

This time he's only barely survived; next time he might lose his life!

"Woo! Woo! Woo!"

Soon, a piercing siren blared from afar, growing ever closer.

Professor Charlie looked up excitedly and saw streaks of bright red and blue lights shining in the night sky on the highway not far away.

A massive convoy of police cars, consisting of dozens of Dodge Chargers and Ford Explorers, stood in perfect unison, resembling a dark, oppressive cloud, creating a suffocating sense of oppression.

The flashing police lights and blaring sirens made everyone present's heart race.

What's going on?

When did American police become so fast?

Professor Charlie was pleasantly surprised, but also somewhat puzzled.

He had only hung up the phone a short while ago, and Dennis had already organized such a huge convoy?

True brothers indeed!

The firefighters who were busy putting out the fire and the police officers who were maintaining order at the scene were all stunned.

WTF, such a huge scene?

Could it be that one of the most serious criminals has escaped from prison?

Somewhat surprisingly, the police cars stopped around Professor Charlie.

One by one, the police officers jumped out of the car and rushed over like wolves and tigers, completely different from their usual cautious demeanor.

Seeing this, Professor Charlie's joy gradually froze.

Wait, are all these people here to arrest me?

That's not right. He's the one who called the police; he's the victim!

"What do you want to do!"

Professor Charlie felt like he was going crazy and stood up, shouting angrily.

"Surrender, Professor Charlie."

Louise stepped out from the crowd, her face serious, and said, "We have evidence against you. You are now under arrest for your involvement in the Rocky incident and the Black Diamond City massacre. You can remain silent, but every word you utter—"

"I'll stay silent for what?!"

"I'm the victim here!"

"I've been framed!"

Professor Charlie, who had been attacked, felt as if the sky was falling.

He admitted that he wasn't a good person, but at least he hadn't done anything bad today.

Are all the police in Seattle this corrupt?

Why are they pinning all sorts of accusations on him?

What Black Diamond City incident? He doesn't even know who Griffin is!

Charlie was aware of Senator Rocky's situation, though.

He never expected that Louise would find out about this.

"Hmph, you still want to deny it? You and Senator Lodge are both members of the Yelson Institute, aren't you?"

Upon hearing this, Professor Charlie was startled.

Oh no, Louise actually found out.

Once he realized what was happening, Professor Charlie was determined not to sit idly by and wait for his doom.

"Stop them!"

He suddenly shouted to the students around him, then quickly ran towards the road behind him.

"Let's do it!"

In those few short seconds, Louise's officers pounced on them like wolves.

But those students who have undergone rigorous training are not easy to deal with.

In just one encounter, the students, who were seething with anger, knocked down seven or eight police officers on the spot.

That old geezer, he even said he didn't know martial arts?!

The police officers were also stunned.

They originally thought they were only arresting a professor and a few students.

Who would have thought these students were as dangerous as berserk zombies?

Looking at the students in front of her who looked like monsters, Louise's eyes widened with surprise and delight, and she immediately gave the order.

"Patrol officers, get in the car, continue the pursuit of the suspect!"

"The rest of you stay here and take control of these people!"

"Louise, watch out!"

At that moment, a student who had gone berserk suddenly rushed forward, wielding a short knife. After knocking down two police officers, he reached Louise.

"What!?"

Louise screamed and collapsed to the ground in fright.

The surrounding police officers, who had been so brave just moments before, were all stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

Who the hell would dare to go up there?!
