Chapter 829: Chapter 829

After performing artificial respiration more than a dozen times, the woman coughed and finally started to breathe, though her lips were purple from the cold and her face was slightly swollen.

Some kind-hearted citizens took off their coats and wrapped them around the woman. Tang Zheng’s clothes and wallet were gone for good, but fortunately, there were no important items lost.

People cursed the bastard who had taken Tang Zheng’s clothes and then began to disperse. The excitement was over, and it was time to go home for dinner. Someone suggested phoning for an ambulance to take the woman to the hospital, but she steadfastly refused.

When asked where her home was, she didn’t respond but just kept crying. It took quite a while before Tang Zheng finally understood that she had been working for a year, and she had lost all her savings at the train station. With no money to go home, especially after making a phone call to her parents, she became desperate and jumped into the river.

"How much did you lose?" Seeing that the crowd of onlookers had mostly left, Tang Zheng got up, ready to leave as well.

Upon hearing this, the woman cried even harder.

"Stop crying. How much did you lose?" Tang Zheng saw that the woman was no longer considering suicide and decided to help her to the end.

"Twenty, twenty thousand." The woman timidly replied.

"I’ll give it to you, come to my house with me to get the money." The woman was stunned to hear Tang Zheng’s words, and so were the people nearby, everyone thinking he was out of his mind.

"I didn’t say it was a gift. I happen to need a temporary nanny at home. Are you interested?" Tang Zheng certainly didn’t intend to let the woman think she could get something for nothing.

"I will, I’ll do it." The woman responded hastily. Being rather plain-looking, she certainly didn’t think that Tang Zheng was making the offer because he was taken with her.

"Then let’s go, there’s a pile of housework waiting for you." Tang Zheng wrapped his coat around himself, intending to call Chen Hong to have her drive over to pick them up, only to find out that his mobile phone was missing too. He cursed a few times in annoyance.

"Thank you for saving my life." The woman calmed down and thanked Tang Zheng for the first time.

Making a phone call from a public telephone, Tang Zheng got through to Chen Hong, telling her to bring some cash to the second hospital, then he got into a taxi with the woman.

Fifteen minutes later, after sorting everything out and getting the doctor to treat the woman, Tang Zheng entered the restroom.

"Are you a good person, or are you looking for a sense of superiority after saving someone?" A man walked up next to Tang Zheng, unzipping his pants while muttering to himself.

Tang Zheng frowned and glanced at him. The man was 1.85 meters tall, with a burly physique and a straight back, evidently a trained fighter.

"What do you think, is it bigger than yours? Are you jealous?" The man made several thrusting movements with his hips, taunting Tang Zheng with a tone that was begging for a punch.

"Unreasonable." Tang Zheng swore that if this man kept up his nonsense, he’d shove his head into the toilet. Fresh chapters posted on novｅlfire.net

"Do you really want to hit me? Coincidentally, that’s what I was thinking. I’d like to see your head stuffed into the toilet."

Clearly, the guy was just asking for trouble. Tang Zheng was angry, but before he could attack, a powerful gust of wind came from behind him.

Instead of dodging, Tang Zheng collided with the man beside him. After moving away from where he was standing, a two-handed broadsword smashed into the wall, damaging the toilet and cracking the water pipe, causing water to spray out.

"Can’t a guy pee in peace? Is there no such thing as public decency anymore?" The man, clearly up to no good, made a quick retreat, aiming his stream towards Tang Zheng, intending to douse him.

"Dammit." Irritated, Tang Zheng pushed off the ground with his left foot, sprinting forward and lifting his right foot to aim a kick at the man’s groin, intending to cripple the man.

"So ruthless." Feeling the power in Tang Zheng’s kick, the man didn’t dare be careless and retreated at full speed.

Tang Zheng wanted to chase him, but he felt a pressure of wind from behind once more. This time it was a human-shaped puppet, faceless and all white in metal, with a tactile quality.

Bang, Tang Zheng extended his arm to block, but the force was great. He quickly pulled his arms back to unload the power while kicking out with his foot.

The human-shaped puppet was kicked but showed no sign of damage, continuing its assault.

"Damn, made a mess." The man backed off several steps and steadied himself, his face souring as he looked at the urine splattered on his trousers.

"Warhammer." Clearly, this guy was from the Trojan Room. Tang Zheng didn’t want to take any chances and summoned Warhammer.

The clash of the warhammer and the two-handed broadsword emitted a grating sound of metal on metal.

"Not bad, so strong without even wearing protective clothing, no wonder you killed that man." The man was talking to himself again. "Well, it seems our meeting hasn’t been amicable, so maybe next time."

"Think you can leave just like that? It’s not going to be so easy." Tang Zheng took out his heavy magnetostorm rifle and fired at the man, causing even the wall to shatter.

"You trying to kill me?" The man hadn’t finished his complaint when he realized Tang Zheng had kicked him in the abdomen. The man, still holding up his trousers, was sent flying.

"Damn, I was careless." As soon as the man finished speaking, the human-shaped puppet exploded into a cloud of powder, and by the time Tang Zheng’s vision was clear again, the man was nowhere in sight, leaving only the water flooding the floor.

"Who could it be?" On his way back to the villa, Tang Zheng kept pondering over the question. Although the man attacked swiftly, he didn’t seem intent on killing him, so what was his purpose?

"Killed that person? Vietnam team? French team?" With too little information, Tang Zheng couldn’t guess his identity. "Could it be related to Zi Xin and Zhuo Lie?"

After settling the woman who had fallen into the water into a guest room, Tang Zheng called everyone including Qin Yan, warning them to be cautious of strangers. Yet aside from himself, no one else had been attacked.

"Could it have been aimed at me?" In the following days, Tang Zheng deliberately went out wandering, creating many opportunities for the man to strike, all in vain.

Eleven days passed and just when Tang Zheng was about to give up, the enemy showed up.

When Tang Zheng returned to the villa, he saw Chen Hong bound hand and foot, a cloth stuffed in her mouth, tossed on the sofa. A woman wearing a Venetian mask and leather clothes was sitting beside her, carving a statue of Grey Wolf with a dagger as if she had not seen Tang Zheng come in, concentrated on her carving. However, Tang Zheng didn’t dare to be careless because as soon as he stepped through the door, his movements became sluggish as if he had entered an invisible swamp. (To be continued.
