The Empress's Gigolo 491 Fool

When Wang Zhi woke up, he realized that someone was holding him by the collar and rapidly passing through all the high-rise buildings. Seeing all the buildings below zoom past his feet, he was scared to death. His face was ghastly pale.

Were these the two people that he wanted to deal with? Were they really humans?

Could humans jump and land tens of meters away? Could humans run up a vertical wall?

Could humans appear tens of meters away in a flash like in fantasy novels that talked about "reducing one's distance to an inch?"

From his point of view, he could see a red dress when he turned his head and also see Ren Baqian, who was being lifted by the empress's other hand.

He wanted to struggle, but didn't even have the strength to move his fingers.

The size of this island was very small, only about 80 square kilometers. It was only ten kilometers from one end to the other, not to mention the distance from the police headquarters. For the empress, this distance was considered nothing to her.

Within ten minutes, however, the three of them returned to their original position.

After Ren Baqian landed, he moved around to relax his bones and muscles. After all, the frigid winds that blew past while being lifted in midair weren't a comfortable thing.

Then, he turned and looked at Wang Zhi, who was kneeling on the ground. "Surprised? Very surprised?"

"Who are you guys? Are the both of you really humans?" Wang Zhi was pale and sweaty. He didn't know the identity of the two people in front of him, but he really couldn't believe what he had just witnessed and that these two people were the ones he had to deal with.

"I thought you already knew?" Ren Baqian moved his neck and said, "It's been a long time since I met someone as bold as you."

"The fact that you have captured me can't be concealed. I can guarantee that I will not seek revenge on the both of you. If you have any other requests, I can definitely meet your demands," Wang Zhi said in a trembling voice.

Ren Baqian squatted in front of him, smiled, and answered him with another question, "Do you think that I came all the way from Shanghai to Hong Kong just to rob you?"

"You can't conceal this matter. Even if I die, the both of you will still be in huge trouble," Wang Zhi begged in a low voice.

"I don't need to conceal this matter. There'll be people helping us. As for the huge trouble you were mentioning, don't overestimate yourself," Ren Baqian replied. "Be a good person in your next life. Good-heartedness often meets with recompense. For example, whenever I'm free, I always help old ladies cross the road. As such, I have never encountered any bad things."

After Ren Baqian finished talking, he ignored the other party's reaction and swatted Wang Zhi's head.

Upon receiving a slap that was exerted with a few hundred kilograms of strength, blood immediately spouted out from Wang Zhi's mouth and nose.

After that, Ren Baqian continued to dig another pit. This was followed by burying Wang Zhi.

"Oh?" Ren Baqian's shovel struck an object. All of a sudden, he realized that the object was moving.

It was that girl from before.

Was it an illusion? Such a thought emerged in Ren Baqian's head. According to reason, that swat from him should have swatted her to death. In any case, he was still confident in the strength exerted by his hands. Even if that swat didn't kill her, she would probably be dead after being buried for more than an hour, right?

However, just when Ren Baqian was thinking of all sorts of scenarios, that girl's body moved again.

"She's really not dead?" Ren Baqian was astonished.

Not only did she survive after getting swatted by me, she's actually still alive after being buried for more than an hour? Ren Baqian thought. He then jumped into the pit and used his hands to remove the soil on her face before reaching out to her nostrils. Sure enough, she was still breathing.

"Or was this girl destined to live?"

Ren Baqian squatted on the ground and removed the dirt on his chin.

"Your Majesty, that girl from before didn't die."

"Oh." The empress didn't really care about what Ren Baqian said.

"Should I kill her again?" Ren Baqian was slightly hesitant. He couldn't really take action as this would be his second time killing that girl.

After all, she was just a teenage girl. Previously, he felt a little guilty when killing her. If he had to kill her again, it wouldn't be justifiable anymore.

Moreover, he had recently been exposed to the monk who was so devout. As a result, he had begun to pay attention to these metaphysical things. This matter made him ponder longer than usual.

At this moment, the guilt sprouted in his heart and restrained his intention to kill.

"Let her live. We'll bring her back to Dayao and let her fend for herself," Ren Baqian muttered. He pulled the girl out of the pit and threw Wang Zhi in.

"One pit can only hold one radish. One radish enters and the other exits." Ren Baqian kept going on while he was filling the pit with soil.

After carrying the girl by her legs and trembling for a long time, he finally threw her into the backseat of his car.

Ren Baqian threw the shovel back into the trunk, dusted his hands, and asked, "Your Majesty, are you tired?"

The empress couldn't be bothered with him.

"It's really inappropriate for Your Majesty to follow me everywhere to settle minor issues. When we return, I'll arrange for some people to be stationed here on Earth. In the future, it will also be more convenient when dealing with any issues," said Ren Baqian as he sat next to the empress.

"Alright." The empress nodded.

"Your Majesty, you shall select the candidates. They should be prudent in speech, loyal, and strong. In addition, they must be receptive toward learning new things. At the very least, they should learn and understand the weapons on Earth so as to prevent themselves from getting shot by a machine gun. That would be a joke." Ren Baqian leaned backward and used both of his hands to support his waist.

"When we return, I'll pick out a few candidates. You'll select the ones you want among them." the empress said indifferently.

"Great." Ren Baqian nodded. This was followed by his laughter. "Actually, it's still more relaxed on Earth. We don't have to consider too many problems and even have to ponder for a long time before killing someone. This is unlike Tianjing Basin, where heads roll everyday."

"You are too soft-hearted," the empress said coldly.

Ren Baqian tilted his head and thought, I'm soft-hearted? Not that bad, right?

Then, the empress ignored him.

In her opinion, he was still considered soft-hearted. Although he was able to come up with various excuses that sounded reasonable, he still couldn't hide the fact that he was somewhat soft-hearted and wanted to kill fewer people.

However, that wasn't too bad. Therefore, she decided to listen to his words.

Ren Baqian wasn't like Li Yuanzhu, who had never killed anyone before. That was the epitome of compassion and soft-heartedness.

Ren Baqian didn't possess the power of overlooking all living things.

As such, after killing some people, it made it easier for him to kill more people. By displaying a ferocious look, he could actually save himself a lot of trouble. Many times, trouble and dead people were equivalent to each other.

Although it wasn't a very smart approach, it wasn't lacking.

"Boohoo!" There was a soft voice in the car, and Ren Baqian turned to look. The girl was actually awake and sat up.

She neither tried to escape nor shouted. Instead, she continued sitting there and stared into space.

Ren Baqian was actually very curious. Why was the girl acting like that after being revived?

He got up and opened the back door of the car to take a look, only to see the girl sitting there blankly. She wasn't talking or moving at all.

Ren Baqian extended one of his palms and waved it in front of her eyes. The girl's eyes followed the movement, turned to look at him, and looked down at her muddy palms again.

Became a fool? A series of questions popped up in Ren Baqian's head. Was it due to him swatting her? Was it due to the lack of oxygen when she was buried in the pit? Or could it be both?

However, he was too lazy to think anymore. He then shouted at the empress, "Your Majesty, let's go. There's still one more to go."

Throughout the journey to Tan Zhou, Ren Baqian used the rearview mirror to observe the girl in the backseat from time to time. She was still the same, either staring blankly and occasionally looking at the empress and Ren Baqian or looking down at her palms and using them to remove the dirt on her face.

"Do you hate me?" Ren Baqian casually asked when he started the car engine.

"Hate… me… ?" That girl dragged her words and spoke in a suspicious tone.

"Your name?"

"Na… me… ?

"It seems like she has really become a fool." Ren Baqian used the rearview mirror and observed for a long time. He felt that she wasn't pretending. At the very least, it seemed like the sluggishness in her gaze wasn't something she could act out.

If such a pampered 16 year old girl could even deceive him, he could only agree that women were all drama queens.

"That's better. It's better for her to be a fool. Fools live a much better life than ordinary people. Especially this kind." Ren Baqian smiled faintly.

In addition to the journey to Hong Kong, Ren Baqian was practically on the move for an entire day after driving for another eight hours. Thankfully, it was also due to his strength that he managed to hold on for the entire day. At last, Ren Baqian was stopped at the junction of the expressway near Tan Zhou.

To put it simply, the other party had already been waiting over here for a long time.

"Mr. Ren, please return to Shanghai. If you continue with what you are doing, it'll be too excessive. I can guarantee that he will not find trouble with you again," said Yang Sen when he knocked on the car window. After that, he saw a girl sitting in the backseat and an astonished look flashed across his eyes. He also felt somewhat gratified.

In the end, this person didn't kill the girl. If only Wang Zhi died, that was still justifiable. After all, it was Wang Zhi who went out of bounds. Even if Ren Baqian left him alone, the nation would still punish him. Ren Baqian, however, was someone who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance.

Yang Sen appreciated Ren Baqian even more when he realized that Wang Baobao wasn't dead. At the very least, Ren Baqian still had some conscience.

Even though Wang Baobao was filthy-looking and seemed like she had suffered a lot, these were all minor issues.
