Are?
âWhat happened?â
Wu Shouhan, who was interrupted, frowned. He stood up and went to the window.
âThere seems to be a problem with the corpses being transported.â Su Jingxing leaned against the window and looked down at the group of people gathered under a building dozens of meters to the right of the office building. His ears twitched as he listened to their conversation.
He roughly made out the reason for the commotion.
âLetâs go take a look.â
Wu Shouhan, who was a distance away and couldnât hear clearly, immediately turned around and left the office.
Su Jingxing followed behind.
The two of them walked quickly to the location of the commotion and separated the crowd.
âMake way, make way. Iâm the Director. Speak to me!â
Wu Shouhan stopped the people who were cursing. He looked at the two corpse-moving team members and frowned. âWhatâs going
on?â
âDirector, this has nothing to do with us.â
A slightly plump Corpse Collection Team member covered his face and said aggrievedly, âWe didnât do anything. We just transported the corpses from the morgue to the farewell ceremony hall as usual. Unexpectedly, halfway there, the corpse suddenly began burning by itselfâ¦â
âBullsh*t!â
With a curse, a burly man who was nearly 1.9 meters tall pointed at the plump team member and roared, âF*ck you, would a corpse suddenly self-combusted by itself? Why didnât you say that the corpse suddenly jumped up? When my mother was sent here, all was fine and there was no problem. But when she was brought out after being left in the morgue for an hour or so, her corpse inexplicably combusted. There must be something wrong here. It was you, you did something!â
âIt wasnât me.â The plump Corpse Collection Team member looked terrified as he shouted in shame and anger, âI didnât, I didnât do it!â
âDirector, we really didnât know about this,â another team member with a slightly big head joined in. âFatty and I didnât do anything. We just transported the corpse as usual. In the end, the corpse suddenly self-combustedâ¦â
âSelf-combusted your a*s!â
The burly man shouted, his eyes widening in anger. He roared, âI said that thereâs nothing wrong with my mother. The problem is you guys! You did something to my mother and started burning her halfway! You b*stards, Iâll kill you!â
With that, he swung his hand towards the face of the team member with a big head.
Thud!
Su Jingxing reached out, grabbed his arm, lifted it slightly, and pushed.
Da da da!
The burly man staggered backward uncontrollably and fell to the ground.
âWhat are you doing? What are you doing? The crematorium burned a corpse and is going to beat me up?â
âQuick, get someone here. The crematorium is abusing its power to bully people!â âHey, Brother-in-law, bad news. Weâre getting beaten up at the crematorium!â
III
The few people standing with the burly man screamed and shouted.
On the crematoriumâs side, the members of Corpse Collection Team and security guards looked helpless and speechless.
The other relatives who were watching the show gloated.
âTsk, trying to extort the crematorium. Pretty impressive.â
âThatâs not all. Didnât you hear what they said? Theyâre calling people here to settle scores with the crematorium!â
âThese people probably have powerful backgrounds. Otherwise, would they dare to challenge the crematorium?â
âThat goes without saying.â
â¦
The crowd was abuzz with discussions and shouts.
Wu Shouhanâs face darkened as he listened.
âSure, feel free to call for reinforcements. The more, the better. Itâs best if you can get the Public Security Team, the Martial Suppression Office, and the City Guard here! Weâll see whoâs the one causing trouble!â After shouting at the burly man and company, he turned to look at the two team members and comforted them. âDonât worry. As long as you were transporting the corpses according to the procedures, no one can do anything to you!â
âThank you, Director.â
âThank you, Director. We really donât know whatâs going on.â
The two team members were both grateful and aggrieved.
âHehehe, itâs not you? Who else could it be then?!â
The burly man got up from the ground and glanced at the two team members with a solemn expression. Then, he glared at Su Jingxing fiercely and yelled, âAnd you, how dare you stop me! Just you wait!â âThereâs no need to wait. You can strike back now,â said Su Jingxing calmly, arching his eyebrows.
âHeh heh, who do you think you are? Do I have to strike just because you say so?â The burly manâs face was full of disdain, but his heart was pounding.
Although he had just become a martial artist, his strength and speed were not weak.
The earlier slap was a surprise attack, even a ninth-grade martial artist might not be able to block that.
However, Su Jingxing did it. And he did it very easily. The counter push left him unable to resist. That was why he fell to the ground.
Such skills clearly told everyone present that Su Jingxing was a martial artist. And he was an eighth-grade martial artist! Facing with a eighth-grade martial artist who was this young, while the burly man clamoring, he was actually filled with fear deep down.
What he did not notice was that his final reply had exposed his fear of the strong.
Only, no one reminded him. âFool.â
neve
The others didnât say anything, but Wu Shouhan wasnât afraid. He cursed, âItâs never-ending, is it? Fine, get your backers to come over quickly. Iâll discuss with them whether itâs wrong to burn corpses in the crematorium or not?!â
âYeah, Iâm curious too. Is there anything wrong with burning corpses in the crematorium?â Su Jingxing echoed.
âThis⦠That doesnât sound wrong.â
âYeah, didnât they send the corpse to the crematorium to incinerate it?â
âUm, then what are they arguing about?â
Realization dawned on the others. They looked at each other in dismay and looked at the burly man and the others with strange expressions.
âThisâ¦â
The few people standing with the burly man could not help but feel nervous as they listened to the discussions.
Thatâs right. Isnât it normal for a crematorium to incinerate corpses?
Itâs unreasonable for them to be making a scene over this!
âWait!â
The burly man suddenly raised his hand and shouted in shame and anger, âWu Shouhan, donât twist my words! There is indeed no problem with burning corpses in the crematorium, but my mother was incinerated not in the incinerator. Instead, her corpse suddenly caught on fire in the middle of being the transported! These are two different matters, donât mix them up!â
âHeh!â
Wu Shouhan laughed out loud. âYouâre not stupid, but how do you know that your motherâs corpse was set on fire by our staff? Did you see it with your own eyes?â
âNo, butâ¦â
âBut what âbutâ? Since you didnât see it with your own eyes, what right do you have to be so arrogant? What right do you have to hit another person!?â Wu Shouhan shouted angrily. âYou think you have the right to hit someone without evidence? Calling for help and making threats? Come on, continue!â âI⦠Iâ¦â The burly manâs face was flushed red. His face was filled with shame and anger. He wanted to vent his frustration, but he was afraid of Su Jingxing. His anger was held in his chest, as it rose and fell restlessly.
Hu~
Whoosh!
His breathing became rougher and heavier. At this moment, Su Jingxing suddenly caught a burning aura jumping out of the burly manâs body.
âEveryone, move back!â
Su Jingxingâs heart skipped a beat. He instinctively shouted and quickly pushed the crowd around him to empty the space for the burly man.
Almost two seconds after the crowd retreated, large flames suddenly appeared on the body of the enraged burly man!
