Chapter 358: Chapter 358 Can This Guy See Through Things?_1

In Tiandu City, inside a nondescript small inn.

The First was lying on the couch, legs propped up, cigarette in mouth, silently watching the television.

In the corner beside him, a woman of about twenty-five to twenty-six, not exactly pretty but not unattractive either, sat huddled with her knees drawn into her chest, a look of terror in her eyes.

"Knock knock knock..." Suddenly, rhythmic knocking came from the door.

The First frowned, thoughtlessly got up to answer the door, assuming the service staff was there.

The moment he opened the door, several people charged into the room. The middle-aged man leading them launched a kick straight for The First’s abdomen without a word.

"What’s going on?"

Startled, The First quickly retreated, avoiding the sudden kick, and asked with a grim face: "Who are you? Why are you attacking me?"

"Is it actually you?"

Buckteeth Zhou entered the room, somewhat surprised.

Being a part of Tiandu City’s underground world, he was not unfamiliar with The First, the leader under Xie Wuming’s Seven Blades.

At the same time, he was also worried. As the leader of the Seven Blades, there was no doubt about The First’s power, and with the men he had brought, it would be tough to confront The First.

"Buckteeth Zhou, you didn’t just come here to find me, did you?" The First asked coldly.

He knew about Buckteeth Zhou’s affiliation with Zhang Xian, and with Buckteeth Zhou suddenly bringing people here, could there be problems at Master Xie’s side?

"Yes, I came here specifically to find you."

Buckteeth Zhou smirked, "I suspected earlier on that the incidents occurring in our Lingxiao Villa were masterminded by that old man Xie Wuming. Your appearance directly confirms my suspicions. I must say, even in his old age, Xie Wuming can’t change his sneaky approach. Such an apt Underground Emperor of Tiandu City."

"You’re asking for it..." In a rage, The First lunged forward.

A shock ran through Buckteeth Zhou’s heart, but he did not show fear, yelling loudly, "Brothers, catch this guy! Brother Xian is waiting outside!"

"Um..." The First stopped midway, slowly retreating.

He didn’t consider a few underlings a threat, but Zhang Xian was a different matter. Just as these people were underlings in his eyes, to Zhang Xian, he was just an underling.

"Catch him!" Buckteeth Zhou ordered.

At his command, the minions charged from three directions, trying to corner The First.

"Damn it..."

After glancing at the woman in the corner and twitching his mouth awkwardly, The First suddenly jumped out of the window.

"Damn, that was close!" With The First’s escape, Buckteeth Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He did not expect such a dangerous person would be here so he didn’t bring many people. He knew Brother Xian was waiting outside and he didn’t want to waste time.

Unexpectedly, he found not just any man, but the strongest of Xie Wuming’s Seven Blades.

Fortunately, The First had an inexplicable fear of Zhang Xian. Otherwise, they all would not have survived. The name of Brother Xian was indeed useful for scaring people away.

"You...who are you? What do you want?" The woman looked at Buckteeth Zhou, asking in terror.

Buckteeth Zhou glanced at the woman, shouted, "Take her."

...

Tiandu City, Lingxiao Villa, in the medicinal diet Canton.

The atmosphere was somewhat heavy, everyone knew that Zhang Xian seemed to have followed the vine to grab the melon, and that melon was Xie Wuming.

One was the seasoned Underground Emperor, the other a rising star. Who would be the ultimate victor in their dispute? They all were quite expectant.

"Ring ring..."

All of a sudden, a cell phone started ringing.

Zhang Xian took out his phone, answered it, and after a few words, he turned to Xie Wuming and smirked. "Brother Xie, you’re not bad!"

Xie Wuming gave Zhang Xian a cold look, asking, "Brother Zhang, what do you mean by that?"

"Nothing, just that it’s a bit of a pity we couldn’t catch The First."

Zhang Xian put away his phone, looked at the young man and said, "Brother, I am not an unreasonable person. Since this is forced upon you and not out of your own benefit, I won’t create trouble for you. If anything like this happens in the future, I hope you’ll report it promptly. As long as you’re at Lingxiao Villa, this is your backup."

The young man thanked him profusely, "Boss, thank you. It was my fault before, I should be blamed, I..."

"You were forced as well, I’ll pardon you this time, hope you have good performance in the future." Zhang Xian looked at the young man and said, "Your wife is now safe."

The young man was overjoyed and replied, "Thank you, boss, I will work hard."

Seeing that Zhang Xian did not blame the young man after all, the other staff’s opinion of him greatly improved. Such understanding bosses are truly rare indeed!

"Why didn’t The First take down Buckteeth Zhou?" Xie Wuming frowned, muttering to himself.

In his view, Buckteeth Zhou wouldn’t bring a lot of people over, so The First should have been able to handle it. However, why would Buckteeth Zhou make a call saying that The First has already escaped?

He lost this battle, quite thoroughly!

Zhang Xian, this young lad, is indeed hard to deal with, powerful and with a meticulous mind. He is a tough opponent to tangle with.

Being dominated by someone in their twenties made him particularly frustrated.

"Everyone, I’m sorry. We had a bit of an issue during this joyous day of our Lingxiao Villa’s grand opening. I deeply apologize. Though this incident doesn’t directly relate to our Lingxiao Villa, some people like to stab us in the back. However, it still occurred in our Lingxiao Villa. To make up for it, I plan to introduce some discounts for everyone."

Zhang Xian looked at everyone and said, "For the next three days, we will offer a 30% discount across our entire Lingxiao Villa to make up for today’s unpleasant experience. We hope everyone can support us."

"Great..." The crowd clapped and cheered in approval.

It must be said, although Zhang Xian’s way of handling things was initially extreme, they felt that he did it fairly and firmly distinguished between right and wrong.

They were happy and willing to support and spend money at Lingxiao Villa.

"That guy..." Mo Shaoyun saw Zhang Xian finally resolving the issue, a smile appeared on her beautiful face.

Smiles also appeared on the faces of Xiao Nan, Dong Qian, Fu Meiting, Duan Hong, and Wen Yulan. It turns out Zhang Xian was more formidable than they imagined. He is a man capable of accomplishing great things.

"Hey..."

Suddenly, Fu Meiting walked up to Zhang Xian and asked, "How did you find out that guy was the poisoner? Did you see it at first glance?"

"If I told you how, would you believe me?" Zhang Xian asked with a grin.

Fu Meiting rolled her eyes at Zhang Xian and said, "I want the truth, don’t hide anything from me."

"Well, I did see it," Zhang Xian affirmed.

Of course, when he said ’see’, he wasn’t using his eyes, but his mind. It definitely wasn’t through the youth’s expression. Instead, there was traces of drug residue on him.

The drug residue in the medicine meal and the residue on the youth were the same. With a scan of his mind, he knew that the poisoner was the youth.

Mo Shaoyun also walked over and asked, "How did you see it? From his expression? I suspected it was him too, but I wasn’t sure."

Zhang Xian shook his head, "Not the expression, but I found some residual drug powder on him. It should have accidentally spilled on his body. Who else could it be if not him?"

"Um, drug residue..."

Wen Yulan frowned and said, "Damn Zhang Xian, don’t tell such tall tales. You can spot drug residues as small as that?"

Mo Shaoyun and the others also expressed disbelief, thinking that Zhang Xian was looking for an excuse and didn’t want to reveal the truth.

"I’m telling the truth. If you all don’t believe me, I can’t do anything about it!" Zhang Xian rubbed his nose and said, "Sister Yulan, you’re wearing a turquoise bra today, aren’t you?"

Wen Yulan was shocked and held her chest, asking, "What... What are you talking about?"

Mo Shaoyun and the others turned to look at Wen Yulan. She was wearing a red T-shirt that was not transparent, and they couldn’t see the color of her underwear.

However, judging from Wen Yulan’s expression, she indeed wore a turquoise bra. Zhang Xian was right. How in the world did he see it? Could he be that powerful?

"Peeping Tom..."

Fu Meiting snorted and said, "You must have accidentally saw it before, that’s why you know the color of Sister Yulan’s bra."

"I also know what color you’re wearing."

Zhang Xian smiled slyly and said, "Sister Meiting, you’re wearing red, right?"

"Um..." Fu Meiting was annoyed and asked, "When did you see it?"

Mo Shaoyun, Dong Qian, Duan Hong, and Xiao Nan all slapped their foreheads, their faces a picture of disbelief. This guy, he really can’t keep his eyes to himself! There’s no telling when he peeped.

"What are the looks on your faces? You don’t think I’m some sort of voyeur, do you? I’m an innocent man." Seeing everyone looking at him with contempt, Zhang Xian tried to prove his innocence with a smirk, "Since you all have doubts about me, have to clear them. Elder Sister Shaoyun and Sister Nan are wearing professional attire, I couldn’t have peeped, right? But I saw it."

Xiao Nan looked at Zhang Xian suspiciously and asked, "Really? Let’s hear it."

Zhang Xian said, "You’re wearing light green and Elder Sister Shaoyun is wearing black. Am I right?"

"You... How did you see it?" Mo Shaoyun held her chest, looking at Zhang Xian with furrowed eyebrows. "Don’t... Don’t tell me you... you have x-ray vision!"

Xiao Nan also covered her chest and looked at Zhang Xian in surprise.

She and Mo Shaoyun were both wearing coats, Zhang Xian couldn’t have peeped, and they never lived together with him, so how could he have seen it?

"Actually..."

Zhang Xian rubbed his nose and said, "When you stand before me, it’s as if you’re not wearing any clothes. However, I’m not all that interested, it’s just not as exciting as seeing it with my own eyes."

"Ah... You really can see through things?" The women’s eyes widened in shock.

Zhang Xian looked at them, and nodded very firmly, "That’s pretty much what it means, but it’s not exactly x-ray vision, and it would be hard to explain it to you."
