Tangling with the Western Commander-Chapter 525 - 522

In the hospital.

Lu Xiao and Wen Xian were led by the police to a heavily monitored hospital ward.

The police stood guard outside, for the person lying inside was a heavyweight criminal.

But as they reached the door of the ward, Lu Xiao halted his steps and said to Wen Xian in a low voice, "Wait for me at the door. His burns are severe, and his appearance is frightening. I’m worried it might scare you."

Wen Xian hesitated for a moment, then nodded her head.

In reality, she was very clever. When Lu Xiao said those words at this time, she faintly sensed that there might be more to it than just that reason.

If Li Tingze wanted to see him, he certainly had something to tell him. It was just that Lu Xiao might not want her to know about those things.

Fearing she would worry unnecessarily, among other things.

Lu Xiao ruffled her hair, "Don’t worry, I’ll be out shortly."

Following that, Lu Xiao pushed the door and entered.

The ward was filled with white, permeated with the smell of disinfectant.

In the entire ward, there was only the person on the bed.

His head was wrapped round and round with gauze, only exposing a pair of scar-laden eyes, nose, and mouth.

Despite his high-level paralysis and loss of sensation below his neck due to extensive burns on his body, for him, it was still a fate worse than death.

To lie in bed for a lifetime, everything destroyed in an instant, he would rather they killed him.

Lu Xiao’s expression was cold as he slowly walked up to him.

The man in the bed was unrecognizable.

And when the person on the bed noticed someone coming, he slowly shifted his gaze, revealing an abyss of emotions that were difficult to discern.

The fingers wrapped in gauze twitched slightly.

Lu Xiao, however, said unflinchingly,

"What do you want to tell me?"

Upon hearing this, Li Tingze stared at him, with a hint of sarcasm slowly forming at the corners of his mouth.

His lips moved as if trying to say something, but as soon as he began to speak, his voice was so hoarse as if burned as well, making each word laboriously difficult.

He said slowly,

"...Lu... Xiao, do you... think... that by killing me, everything will be settled... No, it won’t be, in the USB drive, there is a list... of my accomplices... if you touch them, their... interests, they won’t let you go..." fгeewebnovёl.com

Lu Xiao simply listened to his words, his eyes showing no ripple, "Are you done?"

Li Tingze was taken aback.

Lu Xiao diverted his gaze, glanced outside the window, and spoke indifferently,

"Being in your current state, you’re no longer capable of doing anything. Yet you hold secrets of those people in your mouth. Do you think they will spare me, or they won’t spare you? Compared to them, who do you think is more dangerous?"

Li Tingze glared at him without saying a word.

"I’ve already obtained that list. Now I am hidden, and they are exposed. Who do you think will lose...?"

As he said the last sentence, Lu Xiao spoke very slowly, gripping the head of the bed, leaning slightly forward, and staring at him with the corners of his mouth subtly hooked.

Although smiling, his eyes were somewhat fierce.

A flash of ferocity crossed Li Tingze’s eyes as he stared back at Lu Xiao, the two of them locking gazes.

This time, Lu Xiao saw in his eyes an immense hatred and intent to kill towards himself, like the edge of a sharp knife, wishing to tear him apart.

Lu Xiao snorted in disdain, withdrawing his gaze.

His eyes were filled with indifference.

Naturally, he could understand Li Tingze’s hatred towards him, because—
