章 27: Escape
After hearing Li Xuan's words, Wang Hua paused for a moment.
Then, his expression turned sour.
Because Li Xuan's demeanor was too relaxed at this moment!
Didn't he know who he was?
Even if he didn't know, could he be unaware of the commotion he caused on the train?
With these thoughts in mind, Wang Hua took a deep breath and coldly remarked, "Seems like you're quite confident."
Li Xuan shrugged, continuing, "It's not confidence, it's just that this step was planned from the start."
"No way."
Hearing Li Xuan's helpless tone, Wang Hua's expression grew worse.
At this point, he had lost everything.
His identity was exposed, and he carried the weight of four lives... It had all led him to becoming a fugitive.
Watching Li Xuan walk out in the railway crew uniform, Wang Hua immediately realized that this man was the one responsible for pushing him to this point!
That's why he had been following him all along, to... kill this guy!
Normally, he wouldn't say much, but seeing Li Xuan's current behavior, his curiosity got the best of him.
"How did you know I was in Car 11?"
"And how did you know... I didn't die?"
Li Xuan chuckled, "Why should I answer your questions?"
"Aren't you here to kill me?"
"Come on then."
Li Xuan's words made Wang Hua's heart tremble for a moment.
It was as if he had seen through everything!
Nothing was hidden from his gaze!
Even his actions... seemed to be manipulated by him!
A chill ran down his spine, but it also solidified his determination.
This man was more dangerous than he thought!
He absolutely couldn't let him live!
With these thoughts, he drew the fruit knife from his waist.
It still had traces of blood on it.
Wang Hua didn't utter another word. He simply walked towards Li Xuan in silence...
Thirty seconds later, a figure fell heavily into the dirty alley.
As he hit the ground, he heard a crisp sound of bones breaking...
The sudden intense pain made him let out a low roar...
Moments later, he lifted his head, drenched in cold sweat, and looked at the guy in front of him, who had taken away his strength to even defend himself.
He didn't understand...
Why did he end up like this...
In reality, the outcome was quite clear. Wang Hua was skilled, and he had taken four lives. But that had nothing to do with fighting.
Li Xuan had the advantage in height, weight, and strength. Did Wang Hua really think he could win in this unequal alley brawl, solely relying on brute force?
Perhaps against some thugs, yes, but facing Li Xuan... that was just wishful thinking.
But at the moment, Wang Hua's mind couldn't comprehend these things. He just felt unlucky.
"I should've killed you in the tunnel..."
Gritting his teeth, Wang Hua said hoarsely and grimly.
Li Xuan smiled, took out a wristwatch from his pocket, and casually tossed it onto Wang Hua.
"You know... if you end up in prison, how do you think your former underlings will treat you?"
Hearing this, Wang Hua, who had been about to spout some tough words, suddenly froze.
"Oh, right, this watch should be quite valuable."
"Consider it a gift."
After saying that, Li Xuan took something from the now defenseless Wang Hua and turned to leave the alley.
The sound of police sirens reached Li Xuan after he had disappeared from view.
Wang Hua watched Li Xuan leave, thought about the words he had just spoken, and then looked at the fruit knife lying nearby.
He lifted his head to gaze at the sky and let out a sigh.
His expression wasn't as grim anymore; he just mumbled quietly, "How did you... figure me out?"
"Your plan..."
"Never mind."
...
On the afternoon of August 2nd.
Li Xuan had spent a good four or five hours wandering around the train cars.
He noticed not only the thief gang, railway police officers, and Fengtian police, but also the man who had once attempted to steal from him.
And the fact that a finger was missing... how could Li Xuan possibly not notice?
During those four or five hours, a significant amount of time was wasted in search of bloodstains.
No matter how well cleaned, something like severing a finger would leave some traces of blood.
Discovering the bloodstains led Li Xuan to focus his attention on Car 11.
As for how Wang Hua survived...
Actually, it was quite simple.
Wang Hua had used the old lady to divert everyone's attention.
He had simply burst a blood packet he carried onto Ye Gaoyi's face. With everyone's attention on the fallen Ye Gaoyi, Li Xuan noticed a pair of shoes flipping onto the roof of the train.
Diverting attention was, after all, Li Xuan's specialty.
So, while everyone was looking down, Li Xuan saw Wang Hua's shoe soles.
Moreover, Li Xuan had known early on that if Wang Hua truly intended to die, why would he specially go to the door?
The way the old lady had fallen, wasn't that Wang Hua deliberately adjusting himself to be easily rescued?
So, Li Xuan knew that Wang Hua would undoubtedly come after him for revenge, and therefore...
He had to eliminate this potential threat.
...
Ye Gaoyi dashed out of the train station. He wasn't familiar with the surroundings near the Jinling Station, but having dealt with criminals for years, he knew well how fugitives usually chose their escape routes.
He selected a direction and sprinted towards it.
Behind him, the sound of sirens blared – it seemed that Xu Zhibin had contacted the local police station.
The search was underway, and even if Li Xuan managed to slip away, Ye Gaoyi knew he wouldn't get far.
He reached a narrow alley.
The alley was poorly lit, but he could vaguely make out signs of someone hiding behind a garbage bin.
He hesitated for a moment before heading in that direction.
"This..."
As Ye Gaoyi took in the scene before him, he took a deep breath.
Then, as if losing his strength, he leaned against the wall.
He pulled out his phone and dialed a number.
"Old Xu, Wang Hua didn't die."
"But now he's dead."
"Call the forensics team."
"In an alley to the east of Jinling Station."
After saying that, without caring about Xu Zhibin's astonishment or explaining his countless questions, he hung up the phone.
He simply sighed and thought to himself, "This murder case... is related to Li Xuan as well, isn't it?"
