Chapter 492: Chapter 490: Playing House

Leng Kai’s blood surged with a grief so intense that it almost spewed out of his every orifice. Just as he was about to charge at Wei Tianyang, Wang Mingxue suddenly lifted her head, gasping in horror.

Wei Tianyang threw her aside, allowing the scorching heat of the stomach in his palm to ignite.

He saw through Wang Mingxue’s body and spotted a listening device in her stomach. He made an incision in her lower back, removed her stomach, but at the same time, he transferred the injury to himself.

For him now, healing such a wound was just a matter of blinking an eye.

Wang Mingxue still remembered the pain of having a hole in her back and her organs being forcibly removed, although it all happened in an instant.

She collapsed to the ground, and Leng Kai crouched down next to her with anxious eyes.

"Damn it... Just now... I..." Wang Mingxue was incoherent with panic as she looked at the man with the bare chest before her.

Wei Tianyang turned her stomach to ashes and then carelessly scattered them on the ground.

"Are you... Wei Tianyang?" Leng Kai asked.

"Don’t ask such time-wasting questions. Johnny is not with me, and if Price has any issues with me, let him come find me," Wei Tianyang said.

"If you know about Johnny, why didn’t you stop him?" Leng Kai challenged.

"Me?" Wei Tianyang spread his hands and smiled.

"You could resolve this matter in an instant," Leng Kai said.

"Then what do I need you guys for?" Wei Tianyang asked with a smile.

Leng Kai didn’t know how to respond, as he hadn’t expected this attitude from Wei Tianyang.

"If I have to intervene in such trivial matters, we might as well just dissolve the entire army system," Wei Tianyang said.

"Johnny is no small matter, he has spread Black Medicine and the antidote formula! He’s inciting wars worldwide! Many, many people have died because of him!" Leng Kai said.

"He’s just a terrorist. You guys can handle him. There’s no need for me to take action," Wei Tianyang said.

"Then why are you stealing kids from their parents all over the world?!" Wang Mingxue demanded.

Wei Tianyang raised an eyebrow, and with a gesture, Wang Mingxue was pulled into his hand.

He gripped Wang Mingxue’s throat and whispered lowly, "I didn’t ’steal’ those children; I’m saving them."

"Have you ever considered the feelings of those parents...?" Wang Mingxue said, her face turning red, struggling to breathe, veins bulging on her neck.

"If those kids were still with their parents, by now they’d be either dead or starving. I know what it’s like to be a refugee, don’t argue this with me," Wei Tianyang said.

He threw her aside and then turned to look at Leng Kai, feeling a vague sense of familiarity.

"Have we met?" Wei Tianyang asked.

"I... you saved me, right here. I was undercover working for an illegal antidote producer when they found out and tortured me. You saved me, this is what Price told me," Leng Kai said.

Wei Tianyang looked up thoughtfully, shook his head, and said, "I don’t remember."

"Wei Tianyang, if you’re still a soldier, help us catch Johnny," Leng Kai said, his tone even carrying a hint of pleading.

"I’m not a soldier, not—I’ve never seen myself as one. I stepped onto the battlefield only to seek a sense of balance, looking for an answer," Wei Tianyang said.

"It looks like you never found it," Wang Mingxue said.

"Indeed, I did not," Wei Tianyang smiled.

"Do you know why?" Wang Mingxue smiled.

Wei Tianyang looked at her, waiting for her to speak. Leng Kai nudged her and said, "Don’t provoke him."

"You don’t want an answer; you want an excuse. There are no excuses on the battlefield, nor are there in reality. You can’t convince yourself that what you did in the past was right, which is why you’ve been hiding for so long," Wang Mingxue said with a smile.

Wei Tianyang’s foot pressed down on her chest, pinning her to the ground, and the sound of her breastbone cracking could be heard.

"Wei Tianyang! Calm down!" Leng Kai hurriedly stepped forward to intervene.

Wang Mingxue said with a laugh, "I’ve seen your file, uh... you’ve killed way more people than you’ve saved... what kind of hero does that make you... Ah!!..."

Wei Tianyang said, "What would you know, you military brat who grew up with a silver spoon in your mouth? When I was 12, I was hauling bricks on a construction site; when you were 12, you were in an air-conditioned room learning how to launch missiles. Your daddy paved your way through the military, while I had to work three jobs a day just to let my mom have a taste of Yin Country’s rice. I made sure those war orphans don’t have to worry about food or shelter in a five-star hotel, what have you done? You’re nothing but dogs raised by the council, told where to go and what to do."

He released his foot, and Wang Mingxue coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Adults have to bear the consequences of using force. They decided to challenge me, so they should be prepared for even more losses," Wei Tianyang said.

"Civilians are innocent too..." Wang Mingxue said.

"Do you think starting a war is as simple as the President saying a word? Fanatical civilians can also abet tyranny. I’ve seen such scenes on the streets of Yixu," Wei Tianyang said.

He crouched down and extended a finger, prodding Wang Mingxue’s chest. The injury was transferred to him and then instantly healed.

"Sometimes, it’s the same group of people who support and oppose war. Anyway, they don’t have to go to battle, they can just stay in their homes and offer their verbal support."

"When war becomes uncontrollable, when their own country is at a disadvantage, and the nation’s borders are under attack... then they’ll start opposing the war."

"They’re not anti-war; they’re against losing," Wei Tianyang said.

Leng Kai had been silent. He believed Wei Tianyang couldn’t possibly be persuaded. Wei Tianyang’s experiences and the people he had come into contact with far surpassed both himself and Wang Mingxue. He had seen too much, and even without education, he was beyond comparison to ordinary people.

"Don’t insult me with the title of hero; I’m nobody’s hero, they don’t deserve it," Wei Tianyang said.

"Wei, you just hide in this hotel... observing the world from a distance..." Leng Kai said.

"How I should act is none of your business. On the other hand, you’d better stop playing spy games around my hotel. Once you’re back, Price should understand my stance clearly," Wei Tianyang stood up and walked towards the door.

"What do you mean?" Leng Kai asked.

He didn’t answer. The door opened, and Quigui Ge was waiting outside with four African-American bodyguards.

Quigui Ge wore a Finger Tiger on his left hand and held a stun baton in his right, while the other bodyguards also held blunt weapons.

"Don’t kill them; let them have the strength to walk on their own. Don’t hit the woman’s face, and don’t do that sort of thing; we’re not a gang," Wei Tianyang instructed.

The bodyguards knelt on one knee, bowed their heads, and said in unison, "Understood."

Then, after Wei Tianyang left, Quigui Ge led the bodyguards into the room, and afterward, the door was shut.

Next, the room echoed with the muffled groans of men and women and the sounds of flesh being struck.

Price and Soap had already arrived on the street and were keeping surveillance from a nearby cafe, where it had been half an hour.

Price was frantic. He knew that they had encountered Wei Tianyang; the last sounds from the listening device included his voice.

He had prepared for the worst, thinking the two of them might already be dead...

If that were the case, it would amount to a declaration of his own stance, something Price did not wish to see.

Price was contemplating whether to storm the hotel when he saw the two come out of the hotel entrance.

Leng Kai was supporting Wang Mingxue; his face was swollen, his upper body bare, his skin covered with cuts and bruises, and he was limping. Wang Mingxue’s face was unharmed, but her arms and waist were mottled with red and purple, and her chin and chest were stained with blood and vomit.

The two made it to the street, where Leng Kai could no longer stand and collapsed, while Wang Mingxue knelt down and tried to lift him up.

Price and Soap quickly stepped forward and helped them back to the apartment. After a thorough check-up, it turned out that they had only suffered superficial wounds; their lives were not in danger.

"What happened?!" Price asked.

Leng Kai clenched his fists and remained silent, while Wang Mingxue cursed, "Wei Tianyang... and Johnny are the same kind of people!"
