It was night, and the Night Color Disco was bustling. According to Wu Lihong's account, Zhou Hao had recently taken a fancy to a new girl at the disco and would spend lavishly every night here, hoping to win her over. So, the best way to find Zhou Hao was to wait outside the disco.
After disguising himself, Chen Xuewen wore a half-face covering cap and carried a flower basket, selling flowers outside the disco entrance. There were often vendors here selling flowers. Those second-generation rich kids who pursued girls would often buy a flower for the girls after dancing to show their romance, making it easier for them to succeed.
Chen Xuewen wandered around the entrance with the flower basket, not drawing much attention. However, the security guards at the entrance wouldn't let them get too close to the disco.
Chen Xuewen waited here for almost two hours, his hands and feet numb from the cold. Finally, around twelve o'clock, a group of people came out of the disco.
Chen Xuewen immediately recognized the young man in front, dressed in designer brands and with an arrogant look on his face, as Zhou Hao, his former classmate for two years!
Zhou Hao was holding a girl in his arms, drunk and staggering out, his hand constantly roaming over her body. The girl didn't resist, allowing Zhou Hao to hold her, her face full of smugness.
Beside Zhou Hao were several burly men, who seemed to be his bodyguards.
As Zhou Hao came out, several flower vendors immediately surrounded him, all clamoring, "Sir, buy a flower."
"Sir, buy a flower for this sister."
"Sir..."
Chen Xuewen also took the opportunity to approach, pretending to hand the flower basket to Zhou Hao.
Without Zhou Hao's guard up, Chen Xuewen suddenly pulled out the bone-picking knife from the flower basket and stabbed it straight at Zhou Hao's neck.
This stab was fast and accurate, aiming to sever Zhou Hao's carotid artery in one go!
But just then, Zhou Hao suddenly vomited.
This caused Zhou Hao's neck to shake slightly, and Chen Xuewen's bone-picking knife only grazed his neck, failing to cut the fatal artery. Blood splashed all over Chen Xuewen's hand.
Chen Xuewen didn't expect Zhou Hao to be so lucky.
He gritted his teeth and lunged forward again, stabbing at Zhou Hao's neck with the knife.
Zhou Hao, having been injured, immediately regained consciousness. Seeing Chen Xuewen lunging at him, he didn't have time to think and quickly grabbed Chen Xuewen's arm with both hands.
The bone-picking knife only grazed Zhou Hao's cheek, leaving a wound.
Chen Xuewen pushed down hard, but Zhou Hao was now using all his strength to hold onto Chen Xuewen's hand tightly.
The blood from Zhou Hao's neck had already splashed onto Chen Xuewen's hands, making them very slippery.
Under Zhou Hao's desperate struggle, the bone-picking knife slipped out of Chen Xuewen's hand.
Without his weapon, Chen Xuewen was momentarily stunned.
At that moment, a man from behind rushed forward and kicked Chen Xuewen hard.
A powerful force sent Chen Xuewen flying.
Chen Xuewen fell to the ground and rolled several times.
The other men rushed forward, protecting Zhou Hao behind them. Zhou Hao, having narrowly escaped death, pointed at Chen Xuewen in rage and shouted, "Kill him!"
Immediately, two men charged towards Chen Xuewen with fierce looks.
Chen Xuewen didn't hesitate and grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground, throwing it at the two men.
The two men quickly raised their arms to block.
Chen Xuewen seized the opportunity and ran away.
The two men roared and chased after him, not giving up.
And Zhou Hao shouted from behind, "You two, catch him. I'll give you ten thousand yuan!"
Hearing the money, the two men became even more frenzied and accelerated their chase. Chen Xuewen didn't dare to look back at all. These two men were clearly trained. He was no match for either of them. If he really had to face them, Chen Xuewen wouldn't have a chance to survive today! So, Chen Xuewen was now like a wild dog on the run, not caring about anything, just running as fast as he could. He didn't know how long he had been running, but his lungs were about to burst. Finally, there was no movement behind him, which meant that the two men hadn't caught up with him. However, Chen Xuewen still didn't dare to be careless. He gritted his teeth and ran for several more miles with all his might. Only when he was completely exhausted and out of strength did Chen Xuewen stop. He collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath. Looking around, there was no one behind him. He was now in a forest on the west side of Pingcheng. Chen Xuewen took a deep breath and walked into the forest to hide. But he didn't dare to stay here for long. Because he failed to kill Zhou Hao, not only would Zhou Hao's men come after him, but the law enforcement team would surely come to search for him as well. So, Chen Xuewen only rested for a few minutes here before quietly leaving in another direction and heading back to the city. Not long after Chen Xuewen left, there were many flashing car lights behind him. A large number of law enforcement officers arrived and began to search in this area. The two bodyguards lost their strength ten minutes ago and could only tell the general direction of Chen Xuewen. The law enforcement team could only search in that direction. But Chen Xuewen had already gone in another direction. This was because Chen Xuewen, after going through so many things, became more cautious and managed to escape this time. On his way back to the city, Chen Xuewen found another place and stole some clothes, changing into new ones before returning to the city. After changing his clothes, Chen Xuewen went to the funeral home again and hid there for the night. The next day, Chen Xuewen did the same thing and went to the most prosperous shopping mall in Pingcheng to hide. However, during the process of hiding, Chen Xuewen received some bad news. Because he had been on the run and had also committed several violent acts, the provincial capital was preparing to send a special law enforcement team to cooperate with the Pingcheng law enforcement team to jointly capture Chen Xuewen! This news made Chen Xuewen even more nervous. He could still barely handle the Pingcheng law enforcement team alone. After all, Pingcheng was not small, and the law enforcement team was short of manpower, making it difficult to find him. But if the special law enforcement team from the provincial capital also came, the situation would be unpredictable. At that time, the entire Pingcheng might be sealed off, and Chen Xuewen would become a trapped rat. Chen Xuewen knew that he didn't have much time left. If he couldn't kill Zhou Hao and take revenge tonight, he probably wouldn't have another chance. So, Chen Xuewen had to make a plan and kill Zhou Hao no matter what tonight. During the day, Chen Xuewen bought some things he needed. When night fell, Chen Xuewen arrived at the abandoned brick factory. Everything near the sweet potato cellar was the same, indicating that this place hadn't been discovered yet. Chen Xuewen opened the sweet potato cellar, and Wu Lihong and Zhao Dong were still trapped inside. Zhao Dong had been trapped for two days and was on the verge of death. Wu Lihong was still okay, but after being trapped for a day, she was thirsty and hungry. When she saw Chen Xuewen, her eyes flashed with surprise. She didn't know if it was because Chen Xuewen was still alive or because she wouldn't die that she was surprised. Chen Xuewen pulled her out of the sweet potato cellar and removed the tape from her mouth. Wu Lihong hurriedly asked, "Did you... did you kill Zhou Hao?" Chen Xuewen shook his head and said solemnly, "I failed last night." "Tell me where Zhou Hao might be hiding." "Tonight, I must succeed no matter what." Wu Lihong's eyes widened: "You... you're going to his place to find him?" "Do you know how many bodyguards Zhou Hao has?" "What's the difference between going to find him like this and going to die?"
Chen Xuewen's face was cold. "I don't have much time left."
"The special task force from the provincial capital has arrived."
"If I can't kill him tonight, I'll die!"
"So, I only have this one chance and I must succeed!"
Wu Lihong sighed and said in a low voice, "Zhou Hao has many houses. I don't know where he'll be hiding tonight."
"Give me your small mobile phone. I can ask around for you."
Chen Xuewen hesitated slightly.
Wu Lihong said, "Relax. I'm still in your hands."
"Selling you out won't do me any good. Do you think I really don't want to live?"
Chen Xuewen no longer doubted and took out Wu Lihong's small mobile phone.
To prevent being tracked, when Chen Xuewen caught Wu Lihong, he had taken out the battery of this small mobile phone.
Wu Lihong put in the battery and just turned it on when several messages came to her phone.
Wu Lihong glanced at them and her expression changed immediately. "Chen Xuewen, something... something bad has happened."
"Zhou Hao has arrested your childhood friend Li Er Yong!"
