Chapter 144: The Greatest Humiliation of His Life

"Da Niu!"

Xu Mo suddenly roared.

The men who had been sleeping soundly on the ground leaped to their feet instantly. As enemy agents, their reflexes were exceptionally sharp; even if they had been asleep a second ago, they could be wide awake the next.

Seeing the two figures at the cave entrance, Da Niu pulled the gun from his waist with lightning speed and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

The bullet fired instantly. Fortunately, Lin Xiaodou and Xiao Jingyao reacted in time. Both dodged to opposite sides, and the bullet whizzed through the space between them.

Da Niu tried to fire a second shot, but Xiao Jingyao lunged forward, engaging him in hand-to-hand combat. When the other two men tried to intervene, Lin Xiaodou rushed forward and blocked them.

To be an enemy agent, one’s combat skills naturally had to be top-tier. Even for the invincible Lin Xiaodou, it took a full ten minutes to take those two down.

"Crack!"

Without hesitation, Lin Xiaodou snapped their arms and legs before throwing them to the ground. The two men shrieked in agony before passing out from the pain.

On Xiao Jingyao's side, things were coming to an end, and he quickly subdued Da Niu.

Lin Xiaodou curled her lips and had just lifted her foot to walk over when—

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out. Xiao Jingyao was hit in the back and collapsed stiffly to the ground. Behind him, a dark gun barrel emerged. Its owner, Xu Mo, had a wild, pathological glint in his eyes.

"Goodbye, sister," Xu Mo said with a faint smile, his finger tightening on the trigger again.

Lin Xiaodou’s gaze turned icy. She rolled across the ground, narrowly dodging the bullet. Then, she sprang up, leaped into the air, and delivered a powerful kick toward Xu Mo.

It all happened in mere seconds. Xu Mo’s pupils contracted. Just as he tried to dodge, her foot slammed into his face.

*Boom!*

Xu Mo’s body was launched like a missile. He crashed into the cave wall, with half his body embedded deep within it. His legs, dangling outside, twitched twice before going still.

Except for the two men who were already unconscious after having their limbs broken, everyone else witnessed this scene. Everyone was stunned. Even Xiao Jingyao, lying on the ground with a bullet in his back and fighting to stay conscious, had his eyes wide open.

How much strength did it take to kick a person bodily into a stone wall?

...Could Xu Mo even be alive?

Seeing Lin Xiaodou about to strike Da Niu again, Xiao Jingyao propped himself up, his voice weak and breathless. "Comrade Lin, don't kill him. I need to hand him over to the authorities for interrogation."

"Fine!" Lin Xiaodou nodded crisply.

Da Niu, lying paralyzed on the ground, let out a sigh of relief. But the next second, the sound of bones snapping echoed through the cave. Da Niu looked up to see his right wrist being crushed to pieces by Lin Xiaodou’s bare hands.

An overwhelming wave of agony hit him instantly.

"Aaah!!!" Da Niu threw his head back and let out a blood-curdling scream.

"So noisy!" Lin Xiaodou smacked him unconscious.

She then followed the same procedure, crushing his remaining limbs. Since Xiao Jingyao had said not to kill him, surely breaking his limbs wasn't going too far.

Lin Xiaodou didn't like Zhu Qingqing, nor did she feel sympathy for her tragic plight. But as a woman herself, she detested these animalistic scum who used their status as men to do as they pleased. If she weren't worried about causing a fatality, she would have loved to crush that part of them between their legs, just as she had done before.

During the scuffle, Zhu Qingqing had, for the first time, shown some sense; she had scrambled up from the ground and hidden in a corner. Now that everyone was neutralized, she walked out, her body trembling.

Seeing the two legs sticking out of the cave wall, Zhu Qingqing murmured, "Xu Mo... is he dead?"

Lin Xiaodou walked over and yanked Xu Mo out of the wall. She checked his pulse and sneered, "Not dead. He’s still alive."

He really was the male lead of the book; even without his aura, he was tough to kill. He was on par with Han Guoqiang from the previous story.

Lin Xiaodou slapped him across the face twice.

Xu Mo actually coughed twice and slowly regained consciousness. When Zhu Qingqing saw him wake up, her expression changed drastically. She quickly picked up the gun from the ground, aimed it at Xu Mo, and screamed hysterically:

"Xu Mo! You ruined me! You ruined me! I want you dead!"

When a top-tier lovesick fool finally wakes up, all love vanishes. In its place is a surging ocean of hatred and rage.

"Cough..." Xu Mo coughed, covering his mouth, his black eyes staring straight at her. "Sister... you wouldn't dare kill me... you don't have the guts..."

"Smack!" Lin Xiaodou slapped him hard. "Stop acting so tough! Your hands are shaking—I can see it!"

...Xu Mo fell silent.

Lin Xiaodou stood up and said to Zhu Qingqing, "That's enough. This isn't the time for revenge. Get dressed; we’re leaving now."

Xiao Jingyao had been shot and was as pale as a ghost; he needed to be rushed to a hospital.

Zhu Qingqing bit her lip, eventually swallowing the words, "It's dangerous to travel at night." Lin Xiaodou was so skilled and had come all this way in the middle of the night to save her; she clearly wasn't afraid of wild beasts.

Zhu Qingqing asked, "What do you need me to do?" Her life had been saved by Lin Xiaodou, so she had to help.

Lin Xiaodou instructed her, "Go take the jackets off those men. I have a use for them."

Zhu Qingqing, body trembling, suppressed her inner fear and shakily completed the task. When she finished, she noticed Lin Xiaodou had stripped Xu Mo entirely bare. His clothes had been torn into strips and were now tightly bound around Xiao Jingyao’s chest and back.

It was a crude way to staunch the bleeding. Even though the technique was clumsy, the rate of blood flow from Xiao Jingyao's back wound had slowed significantly.

Lying on the side, unable to move and completely naked, Xu Mo looked rather pathetic. Zhu Qingqing couldn't help but glance at him. At a single look, she saw an unremarkable, scrawny physique, completely devoid of muscle. How had she been blind enough to fall for a "white-boiled chicken" like him?

Zhu Qingqing shook her head, the look of disgust on her face plain for all to see.

Xu Mo noticed her expression and his face turned black. Everything that happened tonight was the greatest humiliation of his life. If he ever got the chance, he would definitely take his revenge and torment these two women to no end!
