Chapter 136
Hearing it again, Ling Jue still felt extremely excited.
Zhi Yao herself was also stunned.
She had unconsciously blurted it out, without realizing what she had just said.
Before she could catch her breath, suddenly there was the sound of "clap clap clap" three rounds of applause from behind.
Ling Jue turned sharply to look, Zhi Yao also poked her head out from Ling Jue\'s embrace.
They saw a very unfamiliar figure.
"How touching, the father-daughter bond!"
The newcomer was a man who appeared to be in his forties or fifties, pot-bellied, with a full head of hair, but an average appearance.
Especially when standing next to Ling Jue, it further accentuated Ling Jue\'s tall and handsome stature. It was like... the gap between an ordinary person and a celebrity.
A divide in the middle.
The gap was indeed huge, too huge.
"Who are you?" Zhi Yao looked at Shen Xiong in astonishment.
Shen Xiong narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhi Yao.
"So it was you who killed my daughter."
As soon as these words came out, Zhi Yao almost immediately guessed Shen Xiong\'s identity - Shen Yilian\'s father.
He... he must have found out about Shen Yilian\'s accident! That\'s why he came here.
Zhi Yao immediately became tense, but this expression in Shen Xiong\'s eyes seemed as if Zhi Yao had admitted to killing Shen Yilian.
"It was you indeed!" He was so angry that he felt like charging up and killing Zhi Yao right then.
The daughter he had raised like a precious pearl, was actually killed by a woman whose name he had never even heard of! Especially that little girl, she didn\'t even look like she was an adult yet.
As soon as the words left his mouth, the circle of black-clothed men holding guns instantly tensed up.
Those dark gun muzzles were also instantly aimed at Zhi Yao.
But Zhi Yao was not afraid, perhaps because of Ling Jue.
He gave Zhi Yao an immense sense of security.
"I did not kill Shen Yilian."
Zhi Yao looked steadily at Shen Xiong, wanting to walk up to him.
But before she could take a step, she was pulled behind Ling Jue, "Yao Yao, don\'t go, stay behind Father."
Ling Jue\'s words were like stabbing Shen Xiong in the heart.
"You... you! You killed my daughter, causing me to lose my daughter in middle age, today I will kill you all! To avenge my daughter!"
He glared viciously at Ling Jue, "No, I want to kill her, I want you to taste the pain of losing a daughter in middle age too!"
"Just relying on you?" Ling Jue said, as if he had heard a joke.
Those few guns looked no different from toy guns in Ling Jue\'s eyes.
Shen Xiong didn\'t take Ling Jue seriously at all, in his eyes, he was just a middle-aged man with a good appearance.
Shen Xiong had almost met all the powerful and influential people in the country, and even if he hadn\'t met them, their information was familiar to him.
But there was never this person among them.
Moreover, according to his investigation, this woman named Zhi Yao was a village bumpkin.
Then her father... was most likely a farmer, right?
He sneered coldly, "A country bumpkin who has never seen the world."
He waved his hand, "Go, catch that country bumpkin for me, I want him to watch how I torture his daughter to death!"
Thinking of Shen Yilian\'s tragic state, Shen Xiong felt a surge of nameless rage.
Although he had many children, Shen Yilian was the one he had personally raised, and could be said to be the closest to him among all his children.
Who would have thought that just a few months after returning to the country, she would die?!
Although his power had now been completely transferred abroad, Shen Xiong\'s name was still resounding in the country.
Who wouldn\'t be afraid upon hearing his name? Yet someone dared to touch his daughter!
This was trampling his face into the ground!
It was intolerable!
Those few black-clothed men heard Shen Xiong\'s order and were about to approach and capture Ling Jue, but before they could get close, there was a "crack" sound in the air, followed immediately by the agonizing screams of those men.
"Ah—"
The few black-clothed men holding guns around them looked horrified.
It\'s worth noting... these men had all undergone top-notch training before being selected to stay by Shen Xiong\'s side.
Each one was a sturdy man weighing over 160 pounds, capable of bending steel with their bare hands. But... but why did it seem so effortless for that man to break their bones, as if snapping a toothpick?
Shen Xiong was also startled, but after the shock, he became enraged again, "Useless! You useless bunch! What are you good for!"
"Shoot! Aim for his legs and arms! Leave him one life!"
He was still fixated on the idea of making Ling Jue watch Zhi Yao die.
"Father..."
Zhi Yao looked at all this with worry, fearing they would really open fire, the little girl hurriedly said to Shen Xiong: "Don\'t hurt my Father, I... I can tell you the truth about Shen Yilian\'s death."
The truth?
Shen Xiong sneered upon hearing this: "You think I want the truth? I don\'t need the truth! I want you dead! I want to avenge my daughter! Shoot!"
"Bang bang bang" the sound of gunfire echoed through the vast airport hall.
Zhi Yao suddenly widened her eyes, "No—"
She watched in horror as a stream of bullets shot towards Ling Jue like a machine gun, Zhi Yao\'s heart seemed to stop beating at that moment.
Father... she had just found her Father...
Although he was a bad Father, he had truly used his life to protect her just now.
He was the third person after Mother and Pei Chiyao who would use their life to protect her... how could Zhi Yao not be moved?
But what happened next left everyone stunned in their tracks.
That man\'s movements were so fast, as if he wasn\'t human! He was actually able to dodge so many bullets!
In fact, those bullets wouldn\'t have caused any harm to Ling Jue even if they hit him, but Ling Jue didn\'t want to reveal his identity until the last moment.
As he dodged, he had moved right in front of Shen Xiong.
He grabbed Shen Xiong\'s collar.
Ling Jue was a whole head taller than Shen Xiong, "What did you just say?"
He narrowed his emerald green eyes, the coldness and oppression in them making even Shen Xiong, a man accustomed to cruelty and ferocity, tremble.
"Are you... human?"
He had never seen such terrifying speed! The last time he witnessed it was in Pei Chiyao... but even in his prime, Pei Chiyao could not compare to this man.
As Ling Jue interrogated Shen Xiong, another danger was silently closing in on Zhi Yao.
