I Can See Through Everything

Chapter 72

In front of the Lu family's courtyard, a deathly silence prevailed.

Everyone was shocked as they looked at Han Lao Wu, lying lifeless on the ground.

No one had expected Lu Qing to suddenly make a move and directly kill Han Lao Wu.

The villagers of Jiuli Village were especially stunned and bewildered.

Just moments before, they had seen Lu Qing with a gentle smile, seemingly ready to accept Han Lao Wu's apology and let bygones be bygones. They had been anxious, fearing that he would be deceived by Han Lao Wu and truly forgive these people.

But to their astonishment, in the blink of an eye, Lu Qing had struck, killing Han Lao Wu with a single blow.

Seeing Lu Qing's calm demeanor after killing someone, the villagers felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

Was this still the same Lu Qing they knew, the one who was always gentle and courteous to everyone?

Lu Qing paid no attention to the villagers' gazes. After killing Han Lao Wu, he continued to focus on the remaining members of the Black Wolf Gang.

"Hero, hero, spare us!"

"Young Master, it really has nothing to do with me!"

"I was forced by Master Wu and the others. I didn't do anything wrong!"

"I won't dare anymore. Young Master, please spare me, spare me!"

"I ask you, how did my parents die?" Lu Qing asked indifferently.

"We don't know, Young Master. This whole thing was planned by Master Wu and Master Qi. We don't know the details."

"I only know that Master Wu and the others tried to force your mother into prostitution, which led her to drown herself."

"We really don't know anything else. Please, Young Master, give us a chance to reform!"

Looking at the men in front of him, crying and begging for mercy, Lu Qing's expression didn't change.

Anyone who could work under someone like Han Lao Wu couldn't be a good person.

Moreover, the information from his previous investigation told him that all of these people were scum, none of them innocent.

He shook his head. Since he couldn't get more information, there was no need to keep these scum alive.

Without hesitation, Lu Qing's Blood Qi surged within him, and he suddenly kicked out.

In an instant, each member of the Black Wolf Gang was kicked in the throat and temple.

With a series of bone-cracking sounds, the remaining five members couldn't even react before their eyes turned red, clutching their throats, convulsing and falling to the ground, soon lifeless.

From beginning to end, Lu Qing didn't say another word.

After confirming that they were all dead, Lu Qing turned to the villagers of Jiuli Village.

As for the man with the mole, he didn't even need to look; he was already dead.

When Lu Qing turned around, the villagers involuntarily took a step back.

They couldn't help it; Lu Qing's performance just now was too frightening.

So many fierce members of the Black Wolf Gang were all killed by him in an instant.

The key point was that after killing so many people, his expression didn't change much.

Such a ruthless Lu Qing was something the villagers had never seen before.

For a moment, fear arose in their hearts.

Seeing the villagers' reaction, Lu Qing paused and then nonchalantly asked, "Grandpa Zhang, how should we handle these bodies?"

Grandpa Zhang, who had been covering Xiao Yan's eyes to prevent her from being frightened, watched Lu Qing for a while. Once he was sure that this was still the Lu Qing they knew, he let out a sigh of relief.

"What else can we do? Find a secluded mountain ditch and bury them. These evildoers, it's a blessing for them to even have a grave."

Lu Qing: "..."

He hadn't expected that Grandpa Zhang, who usually seemed kind, could be so bold.

Lu Qing didn't know that for Grandpa Zhang, a few corpses were nothing. He had seen much worse in his younger days.

In fact, none of the elders in Jiuli Village feared corpses.

During the years of fleeing from disaster, they had seen much more gruesome things.

Only the young ones, who hadn't seen much of the world, were scared by the current scene.

Grandpa Zhang wasn't fazed by the bodies. Instead, he was amazed by Lu Qing's earlier performance.

"Lu Qing, when did you learn martial arts? These Black Wolf Gang members are all fierce and highly skilled, yet they couldn't even withstand one move from you?"

The other villagers were also very curious.

They had watched Lu Qing grow up, and they had no idea when he had learned martial arts and become so powerful.

"I learned it from my master, some time ago," Lu Qing replied.

"The old doctor knows martial arts?"

This truly stunned all the villagers.

After so many years of living together, they had no idea that the kind old doctor also knew martial arts.

"Let's not talk about that now," Lu Qing said. "Grandpa Zhang, I killed these people. Will it cause any trouble?"

"I'm worried about that too," Grandpa Zhang said, frowning. "Although these Black Wolf Gang members deserved to die, they have more people. Once they find out these people are dead, they won't let it go."

"Grandpa Zhang, what's the background of this Black Wolf Gang? How can they act so wickedly without anyone stopping them?" Lu Qing asked.

"I don't know. I just heard that the Black Wolf Gang is a gang from the city, with many members, and most people can't afford to offend them."

Grandpa Zhang was just an old farmer with limited knowledge and didn't know the specifics of the Black Wolf Gang.

Lu Qing fell silent for a moment, then suddenly thought of someone.

Maybe that person would know the details of the Black Wolf Gang.

He said to Grandpa Zhang, "Grandpa Zhang, I need to go out for a while. Please have everyone deal with these bodies and help take Xiao Yan to my master's place."

"You're going out? Where to?" Grandpa Zhang was surprised.

"I need to find someone to ask about the Black Wolf Gang. I'll be back soon."

Lu Qing returned to the house and strapped on his battle knife.

A black figure silently appeared beside him.

"Xiao Li, where were you just now?"

Xiao Li made a sound and pointed its paw outside the door.

Lu Qing saw it was the bush near the gate, not far from where Xiao Yan had been. With Xiao Li's speed, it could reach there in an instant.

No wonder he had felt a faint sense of danger nearby earlier; it turned out Xiao Li was hiding there.

He realized that if he hadn't appeared at the last moment, Xiao Li would probably have acted.

If Xiao Li had made a move, those guys would have died even more miserably.

Lu Qing had seen Xiao Li's claws in action recently and knew how deadly they were.

Even though he was now at the Qi and Blood Realm and had furthered his mastery of the Four Directions Blade, he still had no confidence in blocking Xiao Li's claws.

"Well done," Lu Qing patted Xiao Li's head.

He was pleased with the little beast's patience and didn't blame it for not acting immediately.

Xiao Li was his biggest trump card. He didn't want it to be exposed unless absolutely necessary.

After instructing the little beast a few things, Lu Qing walked out of the house with his knife.

He approached Xiao Yan and ruffled her hair. "Be good, Xiao Yan. Go stay with Grandpa Chen for a while. I'll be back soon. Don't be afraid. I've taken care of the bad guys. They won't come for you again."

"Okay!" Xiao Yan nodded. "Brother, come back soon."

"I will," Lu Qing said, ruffling her hair again. Then he nodded to Grandpa Zhang. "Grandpa Zhang, please take care of her."

With that, he walked away with his knife.

All the villagers watched Lu Qing's familiar yet unfamiliar figure, suddenly realizing that he had grown much taller. He was no longer the thin boy they once knew.
