chapter 513: betrayal

translator: liu_kaixuan editor: valvrave

the gentle knocking sound startled zhang haojing. the psychic paranormal from the next room hadn’t reacted, and the two guards outside had not informed him about a sudden visit, so zhang haojing felt a little nervous. he took a deep breath and calmed down, thinking that he was too alerted. even a knocking sound on the door could make him feel nervous now.

“who?” asked the woman while walking toward the door. the moment the woman opened the door, she was stunned.

zhang haojing who was holding the lunchbox and was about to eat felt that something was wrong.

however, just at the moment, she opened the door, she stunned. zhang haojing held his dinner, and he was just about to eat, but he also felt something wrong at once.

“what’s the matter?” asked zhang haojing. however, his woman just stood there and stared at the people in front of her.

‘jiang liushi!’

the two soldiers guarding the door didn’t seem to have noticed jiang lushi and the two girls standing next to them. naturally, they had fallen under ran xiyu’s control. it was an easy task for her.

zhang haojing’s wife didn’t even dare to breathe as ling’s military-grade knife’s sharp edge was pressed against her throat. its cold tip touching her skin gave her goose-bumps.

ling, who was standing next to jiang liushi, had taken action the moment the door opened. the woman could not even react.

jiang liushi smiled coldly and made a hushing gesture to the woman.

how would she dare to utter a single word? the knife’s edge could penetrate her skin at any moment.

suddenly, zhang haojing had an ominous feeling. he felt weak, and his heart began to palpitate. he stretched his hand to press the alarm next to his bed without hesitation, but it was too late. jiang liushi moved at breakneck speed and stopped him.

“move, and i will kill you at once,” whispered jiang liushi next to zhang haojing’s ear.

at the same time, zhang haojing felt as if his head had been pinned down by a strange force. his cry for help was stuck in his throat.

zhang haojing vaguely saw jiang zhuying and ling, who was holding the woman captive, entering and closing the door gently. then, he turned his head and saw jiang liushi’s cold muzzle aiming his head, which caused his body to turn stiff.

even before forming enmity with the shi ying squad, zhang haojing was not their opponent. but only now that zhang haojing had torn all pretenses, did he realize that he had far underestimate shi ying squad’s strength and means. the jiangning hospital was heavily guarded, but the shi ying squad had easily entered. it seemed that it was a team consisted of invincible individuals. be it the psychic paranormal next room or the guards outside, none of them had noticed or tried to stop them.

zhang haojing felt depressed as only he realized that before jiang liushi’s team he was not even an ant.

“you’d better cooperate. no matter what you do, at such a distance, it will be too late,” said jiang liushi.

zhang haijing was grief-stricken. not only jiang liushi but also ran xiyu was way more powerful than him. he was still under ran xiyu’s mental control!

he would like to break the caldrons and sink the boats after crossing; however, he didn’t have any chance. the whole hospital was still in calm; nobody would know what had happened in his room.

“who gave you such preferential treatment?” asked jiang liushi.

“why should i tell you? if i tell you, will you let me go?” asked zhang haojing in return. he was not stupid at all. he knew it was useless to beg for mercy.

“if you kill me, you won’t live for much longer either. your end won’t be better than mine,” said zhang haojing wickedly. as soon as he thought of jiang liushi’s end, zhang haojing felt a surge of happiness coursing through his heart. even the fear of death had considerably been reduced.

“i have nothing to do with this! please! don’t kill me!” cried the woman suddenly. however, she didn’t dare to shout.

zhang haojing was annoyed and stared at her with bloodshot eyes.

jiang liushi turned to look at that woman, asking, “tell me, what do you know?”

“you f*cking b*tch! shu*t up! don’t you dare to betray-” zhang haojing’s voice was loud, but it came to an abrupt stop as an electrical current coursed through his body. he began to shake violently, and his voice died away at once. the great pain of the electric shock made him fall to the bed.

as the woman witnessed zhang haojing’s eyeballs almost popping out of his head and the violent convulsions, she was horrified, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

jiang zhuying had a wide smile on her face while playing with an electrical ring on her finger. the current was like an obedient pet before her. she had heard from ran xiyu all the despicable things zhang haojing had committed in the past, and she also believed he was a scoundrel. as a result, she had long decided to punish the wicked man.

jiang liushi looked at the woman again and said, “talk.” he believed that the reason zhang haojing had dared to act boldly was that he had a strong backer.

“after haojing returned, he told everything he knew about you to a man, he also told him about ran xiyu. unfortunately, i don’t know who that person is. he just told me that that person is extremely powerful and he had the power to appoint haojing in an influential position in the future…please, believe me! i’m just an ordinary woman. haojing was the one who wanted to kick jiang xaiochu and her family out. i couldn’t stop him!” said the woman urgently.

while the woman was spilling the beans, trying to lie her way out, jiang zhuying’s electricity continued wrecking havoc in zhang haojing’s body. he suffered in great pain, but his eyes were fixed on his wife, who didn’t seem to care about him, at all.

she didn’t want to stay in this miserable and unaffectionate relationship with zhang haojing any longer. she tried her very best to show that they were not a happy couple. if she could, she would have even told them that she wasn’t related to zhang haojing.

“b*tch!” zhang haijing squeezed out the word.

“why are you cussing!? i’m telling the truth!” said his wife.

“since you betrayed zhang haojing, how could i believe that you won’t dare to betray me too?” asked jiang liushi.

“i…i swear that i won’t say anything to anyone!” said the woman nervously.

jiang liushi kept silent and looked at her patiently.

however, the woman no longer being able to handle the pressure, suddenly screamed and tried to run at the door. “help!”

at that moment, she felt a hot liquid spurting out of her neck. her shouting turned to a hoarse voice until no sound could come out of her throat. the woman held her neck and opened her eyes widely. after realizing what had happened, she collapsed on the floor, and her body twitched slightly. not long after, she let her last breath.

“what a stupid woman…” whispered zhang haojing. his wife was indeed a person who could keep secrets.

as jiang liushi had been staring at her a wave of guilt had struck her. if not for that, how could she have lost her mind and behave as if she was seeking for death?

“this is your last chance. who is that person? if you answer, i’ll give you a quick and painless death,” said jiang liushi.

zhang haojing’s was covered in sweat after hearing that. he was already in extreme pain, and if he hesitated, jiang zhuying would immediately release another electrical current in his body.

“you’d better think about it carefully. as a paranormal, you have an enhanced body, which means that you can withstand this torture at least for an hour. by the time we’re finished with you, your skin and all of your organs will have been burned…i bet it will be a tormenting experience,” said jiang zhuying. presently, she could control her electrical power perfectly.

“well, i guess i should give you a taste,” added jiang zhuying with a smile. no matter who they may be, as long as someone wanted to hurt her brother, jiang zhuying would punish them severely.

jiang zhuying released another electrical current on zhang haojing’s body. the current started coursing through his head all the way down to the toes. his eyeballs almost burst while his skin turned red, giving off a burnt smell.

“paralysis…severe pain…high blood pressure…difficulty in breathing…i will give you a taste of all of them,” said jiang zhuying. every time she said a word, she would also shock zhang haojing’s body.

in the end, zhang haojing could no longer bear the pain. “i’ll talk!” his tone carried his unwillingness and hatred. he hoped that jiang liushi would also meet a tragic end, worse than the unbearable pain he was in at the moment.

…

the two soldiers standing guard at the door had not heard anything from the room as they were trapped in illusions. before jiang liushi opened the door, their expressions turned solemn again. then, they watched as jiang liushi and the two girls walked out. jiang liushi even turned to close the door. but the two soldiers remained unfazed. only after they left the hospital, did the two soldiers revert back to normal. however, they had not realized what had occurred in that room. they were unaware that the man under their protection was already dead.

…

after boarding the minibus, jiang liushi inhaled deeply.

ran xiyu opened her eyes and looked at them, saying, “thank you all.”

jiang liushi smiled. “this time your mental abilities played the biggest role.”

if they didn’t have ran xiyu’s help, it would be impossible for them to enter. psychic abilities were really difficult to guard against and peculiar. even the psychic paranormal in the hospital had failed to guard against ran xiyu’s power.

“they will soon find out about their deaths. we’d better this place immediately,” said ran xiyu.

she had already stopped restraining the psychic paranormal’s power, so it was a matter of minutes for him to discover that the two flickering lights next room had disappeared.

“let’s go,” said jiang liushi and ying sped up at once. jiang liushi’s minibus disappeared in the dark at once.

not long after their departure, jiangning hospital’s alarm sounded, and many soldiers rushed over from the military camp next to it. almost all of the residents living in the nearby buildings were awakened.

“what happened?” people were wondering.

that was the core area of the jiangning safety zone. had any mutant beasts or zombies appeared?
