Chapter 1226: Chapter 1226

"I missed you, so I came over," Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.

While speaking, he pulled Ning’er into his arms.

Ning’er shyly buried her head in Zhang Xiaohao’s chest, hugging him sweetly.

"Ning’er, have you attracted any attention recently?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"No, Brother Xiaohao, why do you ask?" Ning’er asked confusedly.

"Think carefully," Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.

"Okay, I’ll think about it," Ning’er replied.

After a while, Ning’er frowned and said.

"Brother Xiaohao, does it count if a stranger offered me a job?" Ning’er asked, looking up.

"A stranger offered you a job? Tell me about it!" Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Brother Xiaohao, three days ago, on my way home, I ran into a flashy woman. She offered me a job! I ignored her and walked away! But I felt like someone was secretly following me, although I was cautious the whole way and didn’t notice anyone! Also, lately, I’ve been constantly feeling like someone is watching me secretly. I don’t know if I’m mistaken." Ning’er said.

"You’re not mistaken! Someone is indeed stalking you!" Zhang Xiaohao said coldly.

"Ah! Brother Xiaohao, is someone really following me? Why? I haven’t offended them!" Ning’er asked puzzled.

"Come with me; let’s confront them directly." Zhang Xiaohao said.

Taking Ninger’s hand, he led her backwards.

While Zhang Xiaohao and Ning’er were talking, Soul Power kept an eye on the others, who were hiding about a hundred meters behind them.

Seeing Zhang Xiaohao and Ning’er approaching, the two took out cigarettes and pretended to chat casually.

Zhang Xiaohao, holding Ning’er, stopped in front of them.

Seeing Zhang Xiaohao playfully staring at him.

"What the hell are you looking at, kid? Haven’t you seen someone smoke before?" The thug on the left sneered.

Before his words faded, Zhang Xiaohao’s right foot flew up unexpectedly, kicking him violently to the ground.

After rolling a few times on the ground, the thug tasted sweetness in his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Ah! You little punk, how dare you attack us, you’re asking for it!" The remaining thug roared in anger upon seeing this.

Lightning-fast, he drew a sharp fruit knife from his waist, and with a gleaming swing aimed to stab Zhang Xiaohao in the chest.

"How bold of you to use a knife on me!" Zhang Xiaohao sneered.

His right fist swung with force, slamming over.

With tremendous force, the fruit knife was smashed into pieces, the fist hitting the thug’s chest.

The thug flew backward like a kite with a broken string, flying back seven to eight meters before stopping.

"Ning’er, wait here for me." Zhang Xiaohao instructed.

"Yes, Brother Xiaohao," Ning’er sweetly replied.

Then, Zhang Xiaohao walked towards the grove behind.

A miraculous scene unfolded; as Zhang Xiaohao moved into the grove, the two thugs, lying on the ground, somehow started sliding forward as if something in front pulled them.

Seeing this, the two thugs screamed in terror.

Yet, their screams never carried farther than three inches from their bodies, unable to propagate any further.

Zhang Xiaohao stopped in the grove, and with him, the two thugs also came to a halt.

"Wh-what do you want? I warn you, don’t try anything funny, or I’ll call the police! I’ll have them arrest you!"

"Don’t come any closer, if you do, I’ll scream!"

Seeing Zhang Xiaohao coldly watching them, the two thugs screamed in terror.

"Tsk tsk! Already at death’s door, and you still dare to threaten me; you two really haven’t grasped the situation you’re in!" Zhang Xiaohao sneered.

Punches and kicks flew, brutally landing on their bodies.

The sound of forceful strikes mixed with their screams filled the air.

After a while, Zhang Xiaohao stopped, coldly watching them.

"Tell me, who sent you to follow Ning’er?" Zhang Xiaohao asked coldly.

"What? We don’t understand! We weren’t following Ning’er; we were just taking a stroll!" the two thugs hurriedly denied, shaking their heads.

"Is that so?" Zhang Xiaohao sneered.

Reaching into his pocket, he drew out a sharp dagger, its tip glinting coldly in the sunlight.

"I really like Newton’s law of free fall! Let’s see how long you last under this principle?" Zhang Xiaohao taunted.

He aimed the dagger at the left thug’s leg and knee.

"I- I really don’t know who Ning’er is! Sir, I was just taking a walk!" the left thug cried out in terror at the sight.

"Do you think everyone’s as stupid as you? If you were truly just passing by, how would you know Ning’er’s name?" Zhang Xiaohao sneered.

He plunged the dagger downward like lightning, streaking coldly.

"Ahhhh!" The dagger impaled his knee, wrenching a scream from him, writhing like a dead dog on the ground.

"Shut up!" Zhang Xiaohao snapped.

His foot swung fiercely, shattering the thug’s jaw.

Zhang Xiaohao grasped the dagger firmly, withdrawing it from the thug’s mangled leg before snatching it back into his grip.

"Wh-what are you going to do?" the remaining thug asked in terror as Zhang Xiaohao’s eyes bore into him.

"Heh! Your turn," Zhang Xiaohao said. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel✦fire.net

"No, please!" the thug was petrified. Seeing his companion’s miserable fate, a knife would certainly cripple him.

Thinking quickly, the thug pleaded.

"Please don’t! I’ll talk, I’ll tell you everything!"

"Weren’t you just passing by?" Zhang Xiaohao mocked.

"We weren’t just passing by! We were following Third Master’s orders to scout and wait for a good opportunity to take her to him," the thug admitted.
