The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1617 - 1616: Framing

Yan Wei is not a god; the information Tang Rao wants, like the whereabouts of Yan Lin, he can easily locate, but why Yan Lin has become so formidable is not so easily investigated.When Tang Rao followed Yan Wei's location to where Yan Lin was, the place seemed like it had just been massacred, with ruins all around, and the slightly better-looking houses that weren't particularly noticeable on regular days.

This Yan Lin is really strange. He specifically targets good things for destruction, while the worse ones seem to completely escape his notice.

The citizens didn't expect that they had just hired Tang Rao the day before, spending money to eliminate this guy, and Yan Lin appeared in public the next day, wantonly wrecking buildings and taking lives. The more he saw people fleeing in panic, the more excited he became.

"Where is Tang Rao? Didn't our family spend a hundred Purple Crystals to have him save our lives and destroy this monster? Why hasn't he come? Are we being deceived by a false powerhouse like last time?"

Some citizens began to doubt the promises Tang Rao had made. Originally, they had placed particularly high hopes on Tang Rao, even staking their lives and fortunes on him.

When Yan Lin arrived, some people even hid behind the ruins, kneeling on the ground and praying for Tang Rao to come quickly. However, sadly, in the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Tang Rao's figure never appeared.

Perhaps they were deceived once again.

After all, they were deceived last time, and being deceived again doesn't matter; perhaps they should learn to become numb.

"Tang Rao will not come. Since this monster has appeared again, let's just wait for death. We can't escape; none of us can escape."

The elderly man with graying hair and cloudy eyes looked at Yan Lin not far away, knowing that in just a blink of an eye, Yan Lin could walk up to him and then, after saying "Tang Rao is my big brother," take the old man's life.

See, he had even thought about the pattern, even imagining what he would look like after he died!

Just as the old man was preparing to close his eyes and wait for Yan Lin to easily take his life, a bang sounded. There was no pain, no sensation. The old man thought dying was just like this. But when he opened his eyes, everything before him left him astonished.

"Tang, Tang Rao?"

That's right, at the most critical moment, Tang Rao made a grand entrance. It was his exceptionally skilled kick that struck Yan Lin away, saving the old man's life.

"Tang Rao is here! We're saved now!"

Even Tang Rao himself didn't know when his reputation spread among the people. He didn't think he had such great charisma to live like a superstar, but when he really became the god in everyone's eyes, he felt quite pressured.

Yan Lin painfully got up from the ground, and the same Yan Lin who would constantly say Tang Rao was his boss was now flailing towards Tang Rao. What's the reason for this?

Seeing Yan Lin's puzzled eyes, he knew that this Yan Lin certainly hadn't recognized him.

Constantly shouting that Tang Rao was his boss, yet when the real person stood before Yan Lin, he couldn't recognize Tang Rao. It's hard not to suspect that Yan Lin had long been controlled by someone, and whenever he completed murders or looting, he would blame everything on Tang Rao.

But what is his purpose in doing this? To frame Tang Rao, incite hatred against him, or to ruin Tang Rao's reputation and drive him out of North Island?

All these possibilities exist, but which one is more likely still needs to be discussed.

"Big brother, do you know who I am?"

Tang Rao, seizing a moment of inattention, delivered a resolute kick, all eyes noticing the stream of blood pouring from Yan Lin's mouth.

"I don't know. Why should I know who you are?"

Yan Lin seriously glanced at Tang Rao and then shook his head. In his impression, he seemed to have never seen Tang Rao's appearance.

Yan Lin's voice was loud, and those nearby could all hear what he said.

Actually, Tang Rao's purpose in doing this was simple. Those who came to ask Tang Rao to kill Yan Lin didn't completely believe that Yan Lin and Tang Rao had no connection with the Kao Shan Sect. Even in such a critical situation, there were still some scrutinizing eyes on him.

To make those people totally believe that there was no connection between Tang Rao and Yan Lin, Tang Rao casually asked like that.

"Since there's no relation between us, why do you say you're my subordinate and I'm your boss?"

Bang! Tang Rao kicked again, right at Yan Lin's chest. After another mouthful of blood, Yan Lin seemed to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye. Here, growth means Yan Lin's rising power.

Such substantial growth even made Tang Rao wary.

"You're not my boss. My boss is Tang Rao. My boss ordered me to kill."

Yan Lin stood up from the ground, his injuries yet to recover, but he looked as if he wasn't hurt at all.

Such a strange person, forget the citizens, even Tang Rao didn't have a solution for the moment.

If he'd known this guy was so troublesome, he would have taken his life back then.

Indeed, mercy given to the enemy back then is cruelty to oneself today.

"Tang Family Master, this monster is a madman. You must kill him; you cannot let him continue his evil deeds!"

Those who were testing Tang Rao's sincerity before were now showing a different face once they saw the situation change.

"You just said the Tang Family Master was with that monster, so why have you changed your tune now and want the Tang Family Master to kill the monster?"

For every platform builder, there is a destroyer. The builders evidently were not as formidable as the detractors. The man who changed his tune had a face flush with red and purple, standing aside in silent fury, unable to protest.

Because others were correct, he had indeed done so.

"All of you step back a bit. This person is somewhat abnormal; don't blame me if innocent people get hurt later because I didn't warn you beforehand."

Tang Rao handling Yan Lin alone was fine. He might not be one hundred percent certain, but at least no one would trip him. If he had to fight Yan Lin and worry about innocent people getting harmed, Tang Rao was human too. He couldn't completely focus his attention on the same spot.

Hearing Tang Rao's words, the citizens quickly sought cover, finding places where they could both hide and observe Tang Rao's 'performance,' suddenly making those spots popular.

"I could feel it just now. This monster seems scarier than before. Every time I see him, he's stronger than before. If there's nothing odd about him, I wouldn't believe it for a second."
