Chapter 271: Chapter 271 - Mo Shaoyun has a high fever_1

In TianDu city, at the city’s Public Security Bureau, and within a temporary prison cell.

After walking in, Zhang Xian looked at Director Pi on the bed and smirked, "Oh, you can’t hold on anymore? Weren’t you quite tough before?"

Seeing Zhang Xian, Director Pi hurriedly turned over and said, "Save me!"

Zhang Xian crossed his legs and asked, "Why should I save you? What’s our relationship?"

Director Pi pleaded, "Please, save me!"

Zhang Xian replied, "Okay! Give me a reason to save you. Otherwise, just wait for death! At the latest, tomorrow morning."

"I... I can testify for Secretary Qian. I was acting on Secretary Xia’s orders." Director Pi understood what Zhang Xian meant. Between life and death, things like Secretary Xia, and any official position were useless. What’s the use of being an official when you’re out of life? Although helping Secretary Qian testify would surely get him punished, it was still better than dying outright.

Zhang Xian said, "You don’t have to force yourself, I don’t need your testimony."

Director Pi hurriedly said, "Don’t say that. I’m more than willing."

"In that case, I’ll help you prolong your life a bit." Zhang Xian said coldly with a smile. He took out a Golden Needle and poked Director Pi a few times, warning him, "If you dare play any tricks, you are still bound to die."

With just a few pokes, Director Pi felt much better and no longer as weak as before. The effect was instant.

However, seeing that Zhang Xian was only prolonging his life instead of curing him completely, he was a little worried. "Can...can you remove all the poison for me? I promise I will testify for Secretary Qian."

Zhang Xian replied, "After Secretary Qian gets out safe and sound, I will naturally remove it for you. What’s the rush?"

When Zhang Xian refused, Director Pi became a little annoyed. However, he didn’t dare offend Zhang Xian at this moment and could only swallow his anger.

"Mr. Zhang, your ability is truly remarkable!"

After leaving the temporary prison cell, Zheng Youhua said, "In order to keep this guy, I had to set up a temporary prison and took the risk of locking him here. I exhausted all my methods, but the damn guy just wouldn’t compromise. You just walk in here, used a little trick, and he immediately becomes obedient. Your method is truly magical, I admire you wholeheartedly."

Zhang Xian nonchalantly wiped his nose, "Most people are afraid of death, and I just took advantage of that."

Zheng Youhua replied, "Well, it’s true but your methods are really powerful."

"These skills may seem magical to outsiders, but they are actually very simple. However, it’s not good for me to divulge this to you. You’ll just have to watch and see!" Zhang Xian laughed and said, "Now that we’ve settled Director Pi, and also pulled down the so-called Discipline Committee Secretary, I also have evidence against Tan Yaowei. Once the trial begins, those two guys are done for."

Zheng Youhua agreed, "Hmm, once we’ve dealt with Tan Yaowei and Secretary Xia, and then do a big clean up, TianDu City will finally be at peace."

...

Inside a certain prison in TianDu city, in a certain room.

Secretary Xia looked at the cold face middle-aged man opposite him and asked, "Do you want to get out?"

The man frowned, "What do you mean?"

Secretary Xia bluntly replied, "You attempted murder. Although you’re not sentenced to death, it’s nearly the same. If you can help me eliminate someone, I can let you out."

The middle-aged man asked, "Are you lying to me?"

Secretary Xia said, "I’m the Discipline Committee Secretary of TianDu, although I can’t say I have complete control, secretly getting someone out isn’t a big deal."

The middle-aged man looked at Secretary Xia and asked, "Why should I trust you?"

Secretary Xia smirked, "Do you have a choice? If you refuse, you can only stay here for life."

The middle-aged man hesitated a little, then replied, "Alright! I agree."

...

With Secretary Qian’s issue resolved, and having found evidence against Tan Yaowei, all that was left was the trial. Zhang Xian suddenly felt a lot lighter and even had time to visit the construction site.

During his busy period, work on the site hadn’t stopped, and they were now beginning to work on the interior.

"Brother Xian, are you satisfied?" Wu Dajun asked with a smile.

Zhang Xian said, "Hmm, quite good."

Upon hearing this, Wu Dajun breathed a sigh of relief. Since Buckteeth Zhou had been running around with Zhang Xian, he was basically in charge of the construction site. If Zhang Xian was not happy, he would be in trouble.

As Zhang Xian walked around for a while, he suddenly remembered something. "Right, it was just a few tens of millions before, right? Is there any money left?"

"Well..." Wu Dajun scratched the back of his head and said, "We haven’t really touched that money, the wages and materials were all paid for by Dong Tianchen and myself."

"Ugh..." Zhang Xian was frustrated.

He had clearly expressed before that he did not want to owe anyone any favors. Now, the money he had gathered beforehand hadn’t really been spent and it was all Wu Dajun and Dong Tianchen’s money that was being used.

Wu Dajun sneakily glanced at Zhang Xian, and seeing that he wasn’t angry, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Before the Lingxiao Villa was built, he might not have noticed much. After running up and down with Mo Shaoyun many times, he understood the method of operation of Lingxiao Villa and couldn’t sit still. You must know, Zhang Xian’s ability was not small, he saw this with his own eyes. If Lingxiao Villa really started operations, it would definitely be a hot cake - why wouldn’t he invest a little?

"Damn... Get out of the way."

Zhang Xian managed a bitter smile. He was about to speak when he suddenly felt a gust of wind shooting in his direction at an extreme speed.

Without thinking much, he pushed Wu Dajun away and jumped to the side himself.

"Bang..."

Right at the moment when Zhang Xian jumped away, a bullet shot past scraping his scalp and hit a tree nearby.

"Damn, an assassin?"

Wu Dajun was terrified and quickly hid behind a large tree.

Zhang Xian didn’t dally either and rushed behind a large tree. He then turned his head to look in the direction the bullet had come from."How...how is that possible!" Not far away, a middle-aged man was frightened as his target had dodged his bullet.

He had seen it clearly. The target hadn’t sensed him. That meant the target only noticed the attack after he fired the bullet. How did he react so fast in such a short time?

After a brief hesitation, he quickly spun around and jumped onto the road, quickly getting into a black car parked by the roadside.

"Where do you think you’re going..."

Zhang Xian took a step forward, and within a few leaps, he was at the spot where the middle-aged man had been hiding.

On seeing a car suddenly speed off down the mountain, his eyebrows furrowed tightly. Bizarrely, yet another assassin was out to kill him.

Although none of these assassins were professional, their sudden emergence was still troublesome.

"Brother Xian..." Wu Dajun ran to Zhang Xian’s side, asking, "What just...what happened just now? Why does that guy want to kill you?"

Zhang Xian shook his head: "I don’t know."

"Thank heavens nothing happened." Wu Dajun wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

At the same time, he was marveling at Zhang Xian’s strength. This guy could dodge bullets. What kind of speed was that?

"Ring ring..."

Suddenly, a cell phone ringtone rang out.

Zhang Xian took out his cell phone, asking, "What’s up, Yan Yan, do you need something from your brother-in-law?"

"Brother-in-law, why don’t you ever come home?"

Zhang Xian chuckled awkwardly, "Well, ain’t your brother-in-law busy? A lot has happened recently, and I’ve been running around everywhere. I just haven’t had any time!"

"Hehe, brother-in-law, is it that you really have no time, or are you just afraid to come home! I can’t believe it, you’re actually quite badass! No wonder my sister always says you’re unreliable!"

Zhang Xian forced a smile and said, "Yan Yan, I am your brother-in-law after all, can’t you give me some face?"

"Alright, brother-in-law, come back!"

Zhang Xian said, "Your brother-in-law is currently very busy, doesn’t have time to accompany you!"

"I don’t want your company! I just wanted to tell you, Elder Sister Shaoyun has a high fever. You decide whether you want to come back."

Zhang Xian asked in surprise, "What happened? She was perfectly fine, how could she suddenly have a fever?"

"Does there need to be a reason for a fever? A fever is a fever!"

Zhang Xian’s mouth twitched unnaturally a few times, "Hmm, I will be right back. Don’t let Elder Sister Shaoyun go to the hospital. I have a solution for fevers."

"Hmm, okay, I’ll wait for you at home."

Wu Dajun heard what Zhang Xian was talking about, seeing that he was leaving, he said, "Brother Xian, you go ahead if you’re busy, I’ve got this place covered."

Zhang Xian nodded, "Hmm, you’ve been working hard during this period."

Wu Dajun scratched the back of his head, "Brother Xian, what are you talking about? This is what I’m supposed to do."

...

Inside a villa in Tiandu City.

Zhu Yan hung up the phone and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law agreed to come back."

Zhu Qing pouted, "This damn Zhang Xian, it’s only when someone gets sick that you can get him to come home."

Dong Qian glanced at Mo Shaoyun and said with a smile, "Elder Sister Shaoyun, Brother Zhang Xian really cares about you! The moment he heard you were sick, he immediately said he was coming back."

Mo Shaoyun’s cheeks turned red as she said, "Qianqian, what are you talking about? If he truly cared about us, would he disappear for several days and we couldn’t even see his shadow?"

Dong Qian pouted but did not say anything more.

Every time she spoke, she would be criticized heavily. As a good girl, she couldn’t really counter Zhang Xian in every situation like Zhu Qing and Li Peichi did.

Well, she couldn’t help herself. Zhang Xian was the man she liked, she just couldn’t be mean to him.

"Shaoyun, let me help you back to your room to rest." Xiao Nan stood up and said, "Zhang Xian will be back soon. He can take care of you."

Indeed, Mo Shaoyun was feeling quite unwell and had no objections. She got up and went upstairs.

She was perfectly fine this morning. After breakfast, just as she was about to go to the construction site, she suddenly felt unwell. After resting at home for a while, her conditions worsened, and she developed a high fever.

"Ding dong..."

Not long after, the doorbell rang.

"I’ll go open the door for you."

Zhu Yan smiled and ran to the door, and when she opened it, she saw Zhang Xian, "Brother-in-law, you’re pretty fast! It seems like you really care about Elder Sister Shaoyun!"

"Isn’t that obvious?" Zhang Xian pinched Zhu Yan’s little nose and asked, "Where is she? Upstairs resting?"

Zhu Yan smiled and said, "Yes, she just went upstairs. You go check on her."

Zhang Xian nodded and entered the villa.

When Li Peichi saw Zhang Xian, she said sarcastically, "Oh, Zhang Xian, you actually cared to come back!"

Zhang Xian made a face, "What? You seem to have a problem with me coming back? Did I not spank you for too long and you’re itching for it?"

Li Peichi put her hands on her hips and scolded, "Damn Zhang Xian, I think you just didn’t learn your lesson last time, and you want to try again. Luckily, all the sisters are present."
