With this light fawning sound, Lee Hongtian was speechless and rolled his eyes. He was too lazy to pay attention to Ye Guloong.
Turning around, he saw Lau Ruxue standing behind him. She looked a little unnatural, but her eyes were looking straight into Lee Hongtian's eyes. She let out a long breath as if she had made a decision. She whispered, "Thank you."
Lee Hongtian was a bit confused by her expression and followed up: "It's good that you're fine."
At this moment, a police officer ran over and whispered a few words into Lau Zhenglai's ear. Lau Zhenglai's expression immediately turned ugly.
Lau Ruxue was about to say something, but she was snatched away by Second Uncle. He came over to Lee Hongtian and said, "Those people we caught just now … "They're all dead. The Scepter's wearing a magic robe ran away."
"What's going on?" Lee Hongtian frowned and said with a serious expression.
Logically speaking, although Man in Black had been beaten up quite badly by him, Lee Hongtian clearly knew that he had no intention of taking their lives. He shouldn't have killed them all.
Furthermore, the Scepter Mage was already knocked out by him, how did he manage to run away?
Lau Zhenglai explained, "We were too careless, no one thought that Man in Black actually ate poison in his mouth and swallowed it. As for the Scepter Mage, we didn't find his body, he probably ran away, and only left his clothes."
"There's such a thing?"
Lee Hongtian was surprised. Was there anyone in this world who did not care about death?
It wasn't that there weren't any, it was just that according to what he knew, there were very few such people.
Who would have thought that all of the people they met today were people like that.
And according to what Lau Zhenglai said, the Scepter wearing a mage robe actually ran away. However, Lee Hongtian couldn't figure it out, how did this guy run away?
Lau Zhenglai brought a lot of people. Including the Scepter, all the kidnappers should have at least two policemen guarding them. Under such circumstances, how did this guy get away?
"Let's go take a look first, and get your people to tell us the details at the same time." Lee Hongtian said after pondering for a moment.
"Alright." Lau Zhenglai nodded.
As the two of them spoke, they walked towards Man in Black's car under the lead of the messenger. Ye Guloong, Lau Ruxue, and the others also followed behind them.
Soon, they arrived at the car. There were several corpses lying on the open carriage and several police officers were investigating the scene.
Lau Zhenglai waved his hand and called a policeman over. He asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"
The policeman said, "I'm not sure. After we pushed these people into the car, they fell down one by one as we prepared to bring them back to interrogate them. When we checked, they all stopped breathing."
"What about the Scepter Mage?" Lau Zhenglai asked again.
That policeman was a bit annoyed and said, "At that time, the brothers were attracted by these dead men. When they turned around, all they saw was skin."
Lee Hongtian frowned even more when he heard those words.
Lau Zhenglai's face also turned pale. He immediately said guiltily to Lee Hongtian, "I'm sorry, but it was our people who did the wrong thing and ruined the big matter."
However, Lee Hongtian said, "This has nothing to do with them. The enemies are really too cunning."
His words were not out of politeness, but from the bottom of his heart.
Previously, he was anxious to save him, so he did not care when he saw the Scepter fainting. Now that he thought about it, the Scepter might have been faking unconsciousness.
Plus, he had observed just now, there were 4 policemen inside the car, and outside the car, there were at least 5 or 6 police officers. Even if they were attracted by the sudden death of Man in Black in the car, no one noticed the Scepter running away.
Moreover, this Scepter was locked in the innermost part of the carriage. If he wanted to leave normally, he would have to pass through the carriage and the defense of so many police officers. Even if these police officers were no match for him, it was obviously impossible to leave without any movement like this.
And why did this guy take off his clothes when he left?
All of this is suspicious.
"I'll go up and take a look." Lee Hongtian said to Lau Zhenglai, then jumped into the carriage. He didn't care about the corpses inside, but went to the innermost area and picked up the robe left behind by the Scepter's Mage to carefully examine it.
After looking for a while, he still could not find anything special. Instead, he found a pool of black blood at the bottom of the carriage.
"This is …"
Under everyone's astonished gaze, Lee Hongtian put his finger under his nose and smelled the blood. He immediately felt a terrible stench rush into his head from the tip of his nose, making him nearly suffocate.
"I haven't gone far. Chase after him!" Lee Hongtian suddenly said.
"What's going on?" Lau Zhenglai was at a loss. The others also looked at Lee Hongtian with the same expression as Lau Zhenglai.
Lee Hongtian quickly said: "These corpses are just a smokescreen, it's to give the Scepter some time so he can use the secret technique to escape. However, this technique should be a lose-lose situation for the Scepter."
"I'll take someone with you." Lau Zhenglai immediately said.
"I'll go too!" Ye Guloong also said.
Lee Hongtian said to Lau Zhenglai, "Ruxue has just escaped from danger, you should accompany her first. Leave your people here to protect her."
After a pause, he said to Ye Guloong, "If Captain Ye really wants to help, then let your people search the area. As for you, if you can keep up with me, that's up to you."
These words were obviously a provocation. Ye Guloong glared at him and asked, "Who are you looking down on?"
Then, he instructed the people he brought to search around according to Lee Hongtian's instructions. By the time he finished, Lee Hongtian had already left for a long distance, leaving only one figure behind.
"I'll go!" Ye Guloong cursed and quickly followed him.
The two of them were travelling at an extremely fast speed. They soon arrived at the outskirts of the city.
"I said, did we chase in the wrong direction? Didn't you say that people can't run far? How long have we been chasing?" Ye Guloong panted in annoyance.
Lee Hongtian's speed was too fast, making it difficult for him to chase him.
Hearing this, Lee Hongtian turned around and rolled his eyes. Then he said in a deep voice, "Be quiet, they are nearby. Don't scare them away."
"It would be better if he ran away in fear. He had better hide until he dies. Otherwise, if he makes any move and I discover him, I will definitely make him suffer a fate worse than death!" Ye Guloong said fiercely.
Lee Hongtian was speechless, thinking that this was a good idea.
