Chapter 715: Are You an Idiot?

Book Chapter 715: Are You an Idiot? (3 updates)

Throwing a brick to attract jade—it’s an idiom. Lin.

Throw out a brick, and retrieve a piece of white jade.

Xiao Yu would never admit he’s the brick. He’s actually ‘throwing jade to attract a brick’.

Having promised Mu Qingwu to come home within five days, Xiao Yu decided to be hard on himself.

He planned to throw himself into the mix to draw out the mastermind behind the case.

Come on, let’s hurt each other!

But his opponent’s words struck like cannon fire, wounding Xiao Yu’s heart and unleashing a storm fierce enough to shatter reason.

It was the first time a criminal had ever rattled his confidence.

He never expected his ‘throwing jade to attract a brick’ tactic to be seen through.

‘Not following the routine? Why be so clever…’ Xiao Yu stared intently at the masked man, lost in thought.

“Why so quiet?”

The masked man grinned, both delighted and brazen. “Let me think—do you have any trackers on you? When you arrive, won’t your location give you away as someone here to catch me?”

“Dream on. I already had my people install signal jammers on that ambulance you’re in.”

“So you can’t expect anyone to come save you!”

Hearing that, Xiao Yu’s confidence surged back. He fixed the masked man with a peculiar look. “Is that all you’ve got?”

Does he really need someone to rescue him?

For someone as worthless as him, not having to play nanny was already a blessing.

And needing someone to save you? Who do you take yourself for!

“Not enough?”

The eyes behind the mask gradually turned venomously cold as they glared at Xiao Yu. “Or are you confident enough to break free from these shackles?”

“Oh?”

Xiao Yu looked down at his wrists, cuffed to the armrests, and his ankles, shackled to the chair legs.

No kidding—those hefty cuffs make it nearly impossible for an ordinary person to break free.

Ordinary, indeed!

“Then what now?”

Xiao Yu raised his head, half-smiling as he eyed the masked man.

“Hmm?” The masked man squinted.

Though his face was hidden, the doubt in his eyes was unmistakable.

Xiao Yu smirked, “Seems I’ve stumped you… Got any other tricks up your sleeve?”

“Of course,” replied the masked man.

Then he laughed coldly, “But why should I tell you?”

“Well then…”

Xiao Yu was about to end the tedious conversation. “I’m in a hurry!”

The masked man: ???

What did he mean by ‘in a hurry’?

The next second, the answer came.

Snap!

The handcuffs binding Xiao Yu’s wrists were forcefully torn off the metal chair.

Even the loquacious masked man and the three hulking brutes were stunned.

They couldn’t believe it—was that feat even possible with human strength?

The masked man, realizing what had happened, leapt back and shouted, “Stop him!”

“Stop me?”

Xiao Yu stood up and advanced steadily.

Crack! Crack!

Under the force of Bear Force, the shackles on his feet shattered as well.

Two masked men charged wildly at him, launching their attack.

From their movements, it was evident they both were skilled in martial arts.

But their efforts were utterly futile.

Armed with Combat Expert skills, bolstered by Cheetah Speed, Spirit of the Raccoon Cat, and Bear Force,

even if Tyson and Boku showed up, Xiao Yu figured it would take just one move to end them.

Snap!

The sound of cracking bones echoed twice, merging into one resounding note.

Xiao Yu withdrew his hands from the necks of his attackers and casually strolled toward the masked man who had already fled outside.

Run all you want—the faster you run, the more excited I get; the louder you scream, the more thrilled I become.

The two masked men, their necks crushed, collapsed to the ground, convulsing into lifeless corpses.

No need to wonder if they were innocent or if their crimes merited such a fate.

And then?

Should we erect a shrine for the saintly bitch, or hand out an award?

No matter the excuse, ever since they started the assault,

ever since they attacked a member of National Security,

there’s no talk of innocence or leniency.

Simply put:

If someone attacks a policeman,

the officer must fire a warning shot.

And if the assault continues,

the officer is justified in killing on the spot.

That’s domestic policy—practical and ruthless.

But abroad, don’t even think about attacking a policeman.

A slight risky move and you’ll be taken down immediately.

Attacking a policeman carries severe consequences indeed.

··· Please throw some flowers ···

So, what about attacking a National Security officer?

Whether they live or die depends on Xiao Yu’s mood and if the enemy is worth sparing.

It all comes down to how violently they attacked—if they were out to kill.

The moment they set out to kill Xiao Yu,

their fate was sealed!

“Hmm?”

Stepping out of the room, Xiao Yu halted in astonishment at the scene before him.

Hundreds of hulking brutes stood densely arrayed in front of him.

Behind each mask were cold, murderous eyes.

And that wasn’t all.

Some wielded daggers, others brandished cleavers, while some clutched clubs.

Xiao Yu was momentarily stunned.

In the past, he had faced many vicious criminals.

……

But he had never encountered so many armed ordinary civilians at once.

“Didn’t you ask if I had any more tricks? How about a hundred men?”

From the back of the crowd came a wild laugh, “No matter how tough you are—even if you can fight—you’ll eventually be worn out or beaten to death, right?”

“People like you, who serve the country and its people, are always ready to sacrifice, aren’t you?”

“When you see the very people you vowed to protect, armed and ready to attack you…”

“How does it feel? Angry? Furious?”

“Hahaha, as long as I see you angry and enraged, I can’t help but laugh.”

“I want to watch you get brutally beaten to death by these people, to see you die without a moment of peace.”

“After you’re dead, I’ll turn your body into a dried cadaver and refine it into Corpse Oil… Hahaha!”

Xiao Yu’s expression remained calm, his gaze piercing through the crowd as if he could see the maniacal laughter behind them.

Then…

Bang!

A noise erupted at his feet as Xiao Yu leaped high and landed steadily.

He vaulted over the crowd and stood before the masked man who had been laughing maniacally.

“Ha… uh!”

The masked man’s laughter died abruptly.

The two locked eyes in a heavy, silent stare.

In that silence, unspoken words roared like shattered glass and splintered water.

For a long moment, Xiao Yu simply stared at the masked man like a baffled fool.

“Are you an idiot?” he spat.
