Chapter 215: Karma Strikes
Chapter 215: Karma Strikes
The voice on the phone caused Hong Shaoli to freeze in place.
"Huh?"
The others at the table also sensed something was amiss and stopped their conversation.
"Brother Hong, I know this news must come as a shock to you. When I received the call, I couldn't believe it either. It wasn't until I arrived at the scene and saw the bodies, including your wife's..."
The voice on the phone was intermittent, as if the speaker was also afraid of angering the other party.
Upon hearing this, everyone present turned pale.
"Are you sure? Did you find her body? Are you certain it's her?" Hong Shaoli asked, his voice laced with desperation.
"Yes."
Han Yong sighed, "Her body is right at the shop entrance. Her head and thigh were both shot, and the head wound was fatal. When we arrived, she had already passed away. Her body is still at the scene, covered with a white cloth. You can come and take a look."
Hong Shaoli's last shred of hope shattered upon hearing this.
He clenched his fist, wishing he could crush the phone in his hand.
"Brother Hong, rest assured. We are searching for eyewitnesses. Someone claims to have seen the murderer, so once we know what he looks like, finding him is just a matter of time."
"I understand. I'll be there right away."
Hong Shaoli hung up after speaking.
"Brother Hong, what happened to my junior sister-in-law?" Duan Jie asked with concern.
"Yes, Brother Hong, what's going on? Is she alright?"
The other fellow disciples also chimed in with their inquiries.
"She was murdered."
Hong Shaoli's eyes turned bloodshot.
Although Liu Yun was an ordinary person, she was an exceptional helpmate, especially with her business acumen.
Yet, she met her end at the shop entrance.
Hong Shaoli vowed to search the ends of the earth to capture the murderer and tear him limb from limb!
"What?!"
Despite having heard the news over the phone, the shock was still evident on Duan Jie's face as he heard it from Hong Shaoli himself.
"How could this happen? My junior sister-in-law is kind and friendly. Why would someone kill her?"
"Yes, she's such a good person. Who could be so heartless?"
"This is outrageous! Brother Hong, your problem is our problem. We'll go there right now. If we find the murderer, he'll wish he was never born!"
"That's right! That murderous villain! Don't let me get my hands on him, or I'll skin him alive and tear him apart!"
Seeing this, Hong Shaoli's heart lightened a little. He sniffed and said, "Thank you for your concern, fellow disciples. But I can handle this matter alone. Senior Brother, I have an urgent matter to attend to, so I'll take my leave."
"Wait a moment, Brother Hong."
Duan Jie also stood up.
"I'll go with you."
"Senior Brother, let's go together."
"No, you need to stay and guide the members, including Master. It wouldn't look good if he comes out of seclusion and we're all-famous-actress name] not here. I'll accompany Brother Hong."
The others could only nod in agreement.
The two of them hurried downstairs, got into a car, and sped towards the location of the Dingshi Loan Company.
At the same time.
The area around Dingshi Loan Company was already cordoned off with perimeter tape.
A crowd had gathered, whispering amongst themselves.
"It's terrible. Seven or eight people inside are all dead, and the wall is covered in blood!"
"The boss's wife suffered the worst fate. After being shot in the head, her body was dragged outside and left at the entrance. Apparently, the murderer was seen by someone passing by when he came out..."
"What! Wasn't that person supposed to be dead?"
"I thought so too, but the murderer either didn't see him or something, and he didn't do anything about it. He's the one who called the police."
"That's strange, the murderer killed so many people. Even if he killed one or two more, it wouldn't matter, but he didn't do it. Isn't he afraid of exposing himself?"
"Who knows? But if you ask me, these people aren't good people. It's good that they're dead."
"Shh! The enforcement team is still here, keep your voice down!"
The people nearby were startled.
In fact, everyone living around here knew that the Dingshi Loan Company wasn't a good place.
Their neighbors and friends, or even themselves, had gone to borrow money and ended up on the streets with nowhere to turn.
But they were just ordinary citizens, and at most, they could only gossip privately. When passing by the shop's entrance, they didn't dare to take a peek inside.
After all, everyone knew that without some background, how could one survive in this business?
Just then, a figure limped towards them.
It was the man who had been swindled out of his money and had his leg broken.
He had been lying on the ground, and suddenly he heard people around him discussing that the people from the Dingshi Loan Company had all been killed.
At first, he didn't believe it.
He asked a few more people.
They all gave the same answer.
He was thrilled, but also afraid that it might be a false joy, so he decided to come and see for himself.
However, he didn't dare get too close, fearing he'd be caught. He stayed in the crowd, observing from a distance.
Sure enough, something covered with a white cloth was at the entrance, its silhouette resembling a corpse. Inside the shop, it was even more terrifying, with seven corpses, all covered in white cloth.
"They're really dead?"
The muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably.
Swindled out of everything and with a broken leg, he had cursed these people in his heart, wishing for thunder to strike them down. But he knew it himself.
The possibility of such an event was slim.
Even killing one person with thunder would be considered an act of the heavens.
In the end,
They were all dead!
Could it be that the heavens had truly heard his heart's plea?
Just then, he heard people around him discussing the murderer, and he perked up his ears to listen carefully.
A man in his thirties, of average height, wearing a black jacket?
His brows furrowed.
The more he listened, the more it sounded like the man who had come to him during the day.
He had been feeling wronged and told his story to the man, who said he would help him get justice.
Then, the incident before him happened.
The limping man's gaze turned back to the shop.
Suddenly, a shiver ran through his body.
Could it really be that man who did this?
After hearing his grievance, that man had helped him kill those people!
"That's right, it must be him! It must be!"
Tears welled up in the limping man's eyes.
Otherwise, why would those beasts have their comeuppance today of all days?
This was karma, this was karma!
Just then, a sedan sped by and stopped next to the police car. Two men in training uniforms stepped out.
This scene stunned the onlookers.
They recognized the training uniforms on the two men, which seemed to be from the nearby Stormwind Martial Arts Academy.
They were people from Stormwind?
