Chapter 196: Chapter 196: The Appearance of a Man Second Only to Lin Fan in Handsomeness
"Wow! So handsome!"
"It's not just handsome, it's masculine, okay? That sexy stubble, I want to rub against it."
"I don't think you just want to rub against his stubble... Damn, you're so dirty, you can even say that."
"Your boyfriend is in the hospital after a car accident, and you're checking out men while buying water."
Two women walked together, and when they saw the man in a black suit with a fantastic figure, they stopped in their tracks, unable to move, their minds filled with dirty thoughts.
He Mu glanced at the two women.
Shallow!
Vulgar!
He was a member of the Shadow Society, known as Jade-Face He Mu. Tall, handsome, with extremely good looks, his smile gave people a feeling of a gentle spring breeze. His scruffy stubble gave him a touch of decadence. Even though he was a member of the Shadow Society, many people were willing to let their morals follow their senses.
"Handsome, can I get your number?"
A woman with heavy makeup shyly walked up to him, putting on a coy expression, her face full of expectation.
He Mu looked at the woman, smiling.
The woman's eyes were full of hearts. So handsome, so wonderful, she wanted to be…
"Scram!"
He Mu said the coldest words with a smiling face.
He had no interest in vulgar women. Lusting after his body?
Heh!
Pathetic woman.
The woman stood there stunned, her eyes turning red, and like a child, she burst into tears, tears streaming down her face. She wasn't sad, nor was she angry, but rather, she hadn't expected him to actually speak to her.
Such a cold tone, such a domineering personality.
She was truly in love.
Bliss!
Touched!
He walked into the hospital, glanced around, and noticed quite a few girls registering, shyly looking at him. He was long used to this.
He arrived at the hospital service desk.
The nurse was looking down, organizing hospital documents. She noticed someone approaching and looked up, offering a professional smile. But when her eyes met He Mu's…
The nurse blushed, shocked by such a handsome man. Not only handsome, but also possessing an irresistible masculine charm.
"Hello."
He Mu smiled, his voice gentle, making the nurse feel as if her ears were about to get pregnant.
"How can I help you?"
The nurse displayed the friendliest attitude she had shown in all her years of work.
She really wanted to take out her phone and snap a few pictures of him, then use his photo as her screensaver, so she could admire it every night before bed.
If only that could happen, how blissful it would be.
"Could we talk outside?" He Mu asked gently, a glint flashing in his dark eyes, too quick to be noticed.
"Okay."
The nurse got up, asking a colleague to cover for her.
Her colleague, seeing the handsome man, felt envious and jealous. She hadn't realized Xiao Li knew such a handsome man. It seemed she needed to get on Xiao Li's good side.
A beautiful woman's best friend is always disappointing.
But a handsome man's bros are always worth keeping in mind.
Outside.
Xiao Li followed behind He Mu. He Mu, walking ahead, pinched his fingers, flicked his wrist, and a black talisman appeared out of thin air. It then ignited, turning into a black light that merged into He Mu's fingertip.
He Mu turned and pointed a finger at Xiao Li's forehead.
Xiao Li's expression became dazed.
"Have you seen this person?" He Mu asked.
An image of Gao Xiong's face appeared in Xiao Li's pupils.
"Yes," Xiao Li said dully.
"Is he dead?"
"No, he was saved."
"Where is he now?"
"He was taken away. I don't know who they were, but I heard they were from a special department."
He Mu had learned what he wanted to know. He then pointed a finger at Xiao Li's forehead again and softly said, "Go back. Pretend you haven't seen me. Don't answer if anyone asks. Go."
"Oh."
Xiao Li turned and left.
He Mu pondered.
"Gao Xiong swallowed poison, but he didn't die and was saved. This is a bit troublesome."
That poison was lethal. Once ingested, there was no saving the person.
But now he had been saved.
"Is the current medical standard so advanced?"
Clearly, He Mu hadn't expected this. When he returned, he would tell those researching the poison that the toxins they developed were utter trash. Hospitals could save people from them. No need to boast about them being impossible to cure.
Inside the hospital.
The colleague covering for Xiao Li saw her return and enviously patted her shoulder, grinning, "Not bad, knowing such a handsome man and hiding it so well."
Xiao Li came back to her senses, unaware that she had gone out. Confused, she asked, "What handsome man?"
"Still pretending?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Sigh, such is the coldness of the world. I wouldn't steal your man."
The colleague was helpless. Women, indeed, were all so selfish. Introducing such a handsome man wouldn't cost her anything.
Special Department.
"He still hasn't spoken," Jin He Li said.
She seemed to have become even more beautiful. She always dressed sexily, and lately, perhaps because she was in a good mood, her skin was even more fair and firm.
One-Eyed Man frowned. This was getting tricky. He wanted to pry some information out of the guy, but he hadn't expected him to be so tight-lipped. Would he really have to resort to using a drill to make holes in him?
"I'll go take a look."
Gao Xiong had been locked up here for a while, constantly guarded by experts. Those members were mentally exhausted. Their good days were being wasted by this, which was a bit much.
Simply inhuman.
Interrogation Room.
The materials here were made of special metal. Without a key, there was no way to open it. It was the best place to hold powerful individuals.
Gao Xiong's wrists and ankles were locked with metal shackles.
"Open the door."
One-Eyed Man said.
Gao Xiong looked up at One-Eyed Man, then lowered his head, not saying a word.
It was dangerous for ordinary people to be alone in a room with such a powerful individual, but One-Eyed Man himself was terrifyingly strong. Even if Gao Xiong were at his peak condition, he wouldn't dare act rashly in front of One-Eyed Man.
"It's been several days. Do you really not want to talk? The Shadow Society is no secret. Twenty years ago, your Shadow Society's leader died at the headquarters' main gate."
"We thought you had vanished from the world, but we didn't expect you to reappear."
"Tell me, what are you really up to?"
"Be good, okay?"
One-Eyed Man's tone was very gentle, but his single eye, combined with his hairy, bald head, felt somewhat off. Not exactly scary, just a bit…shifty.
He couldn't help it.
Encountering a guy who could endure several days of silence, what could he say?
Not a single word.
He could only try to move him with sincerity, let him see love and acceptance.
Gao Xiong didn't speak, as if treating One-Eyed Man as transparent.
One-Eyed Man took out a cigarette from his pocket, offered one to Gao Xiong, lit it for him, then lit one for himself, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled.
"Whether it's your Shadow Society or our Special Department, as long as we're jointly resisting evil creatures, we're all on the same side. There's no distinction between enemy or friend, no factions. Do you know why the members of our department have such strong motivation in dealing with evil creatures?"
"Because of hatred, blood feuds. Parents die, they want revenge. They die, their children will grow up."
"I just want to ask you, is your Shadow Society on the side of humanity, or on the side of evil creatures, or is it all about profit? As long as you gain benefits, you don't care about humans or evil creatures?"
"I want to know which one you belong to."
"If you say you're for humanity, I can let you go right now."
One-Eyed Man asked softly, as if old friends meeting again, talking on equal footing.
Gao Xiong smoked, looked up at One-Eyed Man, and slowly said:
"For humanity."
The scene was somewhat quiet.
The guy seemed a bit sly. It wasn't that he didn't want to talk, but that he was waiting for an opportunity.
"Good, I believe you. But there's one more thing I didn't say just now. I want to meet with your Shadow Society's leader. As long as you give me the contact information, I can release you, and from now on, we'll be brothers. Why bother with all this?"
One-Eyed Man smiled. If the other guy was shameless, he might as well be too.
He had said it long ago.
He became the leader of Yanhai City's Special Department not because of his strength, but because of his brains.
Just look at his expressive language skills, weren't they great?
"Heh!"
Gao Xiong lowered his head and stopped talking again.
One-Eyed Man tapped his fingers on the table, tap, tap, tap, the rhythm steady, unhurried, and unperturbed. "You just said it was for humanity, but no matter what, you should at least give me a reason to believe you. Empty words are baseless, how can anyone believe them?"
Gao Xiong still remained silent, no one knowing what he was thinking.
Right now, he hated that guy the most.
They had clearly agreed that he wanted to leave, he didn't want to go to the hospital, but that bastard actually sent him to the hospital, and he was caught by the Special Department. He was simply inhuman.
At the same time, he was very disappointed in his team members.
They ran at the first sign of trouble. What good brothers.
In the past, when they were drinking and eating together, they would get drunk and shout, "Long live friendship, deep brotherly love!" But when trouble came, they ran faster than anyone else. Okay, really ruthless, he was truly impressed.
Brotherhood was over.
If he could leave this place, he would definitely beat them up.
One-Eyed Man stood up, slowly walked behind Gao Xiong, and touched the back of his neck. For Gao Xiong, it felt like a cold blade against his throat, sending chills down his spine.
"My patience is limited. I hope you can truthfully tell me what the Shadow Society is up to, otherwise, I don't mind making you regret it."
One-Eyed Man bent down, leaned close to Gao Xiong's ear, and whispered.
"Haha, think carefully, don't make a decision too quickly. I know you're a wise man. I'm never wrong about people."
"Rest assured, you're safest here. No one can do anything to you."
When he said this…
It made him sound so friendly.
Gao Xiong gave him a strange look.
Scoundrel.
He was just threatening him.
