Ultimate Scheming System

At this time, in the shadows of the tall, magnificent buildings, a car drove toward a hotel entrance. The car door opened, and every man who got out of the car was impeccably attired in the same Western-style suits. The expressions in their eyes were ice-cold. They looked as if they were killers for hire.

Several black cars arrived shortly after, and a few old people got out of these cars wearing typical Chinese tunic suits. They all had white hair, but they didn’t look old-fashioned or tired at all. Instead, they appeared to be particularly spirited. They walked tall and straight. At a glance, their momentum looked firmer even than the men in the Western suits.

“So many masters?”

Not too far away, Xuanyuan Wanrong had already bought some new clothes and changed her look. Then she had headed back to the hotel with Lin Yuxi. She couldn’t help but feel astonished, chancing upon this scene.

Although her cultivation was gone, Xuanyuan Wanrong’s ability to make discerning judgments was still strong. She could tell at a glance that this group of people were not ordinary people, but martial arts practitioners.

With the appearance of so many experts at this moment combined with the trap set previously by Xia Luoqing, Xuanyuan Wanrong suddenly understood that this group of people most likely had been rushed here to deal with Xu Que.

“What masters?” Lin Yuxi was standing next to her and heard Xuanyuan Wanrong’s mumblings. She couldn’t help but feel startled as she looked to where Xuanyuan Wanrong had been looking.

She couldn’t see anything different about those people other than the fact that there were suddenly so many people arriving outside the hotel. She unconsciously thought it must be presaging the arrival of some big shot.

Any normal person would think that those men in the Western suits and the ice-cold expressions were bodyguards just by looking at them.

This hotel often had stars or important figures staying there, so she didn’t think too much about why there were all these guys outside the hotel.

“Oh, it’s nothing. Why don’t we go somewhere else to shop?” Xuanyuan Wanrong shook her head and asked.

At this time, she was being very rational about it. Even if she went to find Xu Que, not only could she not help, she could also cause trouble for him by distracting him.

So she asked Lin Yuxi to take her somewhere else shopping in order to get away from the place.

“Are you sure? Xu Que and Xia are still waiting for us, or shall I call him to let him know?” Lin Yuxi was a little hesitant and felt that they shouldn’t stand up their friends in this way.

Xuanyuan Wanrong muttered to herself. Her eyes also followed intently the group of men in Western suits and the old people as they walked into the hotel. She suddenly changed her mind, shook her head, and said, “Never mind. Let’s just head up there.”

With that, she walked forward. She’d decided that she wanted to go up to have a look.

After all, too many experts had come this time. Before, when he’d been at the school, Xu Que had been able to deal with more than one enemy because those opponents hadn’t been that strong.

But the people who’d come this time… These people didn’t look like pushovers.

Xuanyuan Wanrong felt that nothing boded well for Xu Que. If he died, then it didn’t matter how far she tried to run away. She would also have to follow suit and die. So she might as well go up to take a look.

Besides, she honestly felt that this matter still had something to do with her.

If it hadn’t been for her appearance, then Xia Luoqing wouldn’t have had designs on her and probably wouldn’t have set up a trap to deal with Xu Que.

Xu Que was caught in this situation now in order to protect her. If she were to deliberately avoid the situation even though she knew exactly what was going to happen, then it would be rather too much.

So, after giving it much thought, Xuanyuan Wanrong decided to go to the scene to take a look. Although she couldn’t be of any help, at least she would know what was happening.

After all, from the very beginning, when she had been dragged in by the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi, she had basically given up hope. She had no confidence when it came to the matter of traversing the Relationship Tribulations with Xu Que.

…..

Meanwhile, in the restaurant at the top of the hotel, most of the people had been cleared out or had left on their own voluntarily. Xu Que had also left the private room, and he was sitting in the main hall of the restaurant fiddling with his cell phone. He was chatting with his online friends in the live-streaming room after he had fixed his hairstyle so that he would appear more photogenic.

Xia Luoqing and the middle-aged man were sitting near him, with the fire of revenge raging inside of them. They were also rather excited. Because a minute ago, their cell phones had gotten texts at the same time informing them that help had arrived.

Xia Luoqing stayed quite calm. After all, the people who had arrived to help him were hired thugs sent by his family. They were the kind of hired thugs who could do vicious things.

But the middle-aged man hadn’t done the same. He’d reported the entire situation to his sect. He’d even exaggerated a little, in order for his master to step forward.

As a result, he’d really startled his master, and so his master had summoned elders and masters of other sects to come with him and help.

Now this situation had become huge. If it had been put in a martial arts novel, this battle would be considered equivalent to the six major factions besieging Bright Peak or some major martial arts convention.

“This boy isn’t going to be able to stay arrogant for too much longer now. When my master and the masters of several other major sects show up, no matter how good he is, this will be the end for him.” The middle-aged man glowered at Xu Que’s back and spoke in a low voice.

Xia Luoqing’s face had a completely indifferent expression. He didn’t care much about what the middle-aged man had just said, and, in fact, he even thought it beneath his dignity to talk to the guy.

So what if they had good kung fu? So what if their Inner Power was profound? So what if they could magically shoot out a dragon?

After all, none of this compared to a single bullet from a gun.

Boss Lin had only brought out the guns earlier as a threat because she had developed an interest in Xu Que.

But that was only a threat. She hadn’t really wanted to kill Xu Que, and that had given Xu Que a chance to poison her, forcing her to leave.

But his Xia family was not like this at all. Once his people were here, they would not talk nonsense with Xu Que. They would just directly shoot and kill him. They wouldn’t even give him half a chance.

“Yo, why do I feel that both of your murderous auras have become a lot stronger all of a sudden? Is it because your men have arrived?” At this time, Xu Que turned his head sharply and grinned at Xia Luoqing and the middle-aged man.

The eyes of the two men twitched. “D*mn, you can also feel murderous auras?”

“Yes, they are already in the elevator, if you must know,” Xia Luoqing felt that it would be beneath him to hide it, so he directly nodded and replied.

“Do they have guns?” Xu Que asked calmly.

“…..” Xia Luoqing suddenly glanced at the cell phone in Xu Que’s hand as he calmly asked, “Are you live-streaming?”

“Yeah, it’s fine. Go ahead and say it. I’m not afraid, so what are you afraid of?” Xu Que laughed.

“I’m afraid?” Xia Luoqing sneered and growled, “Yes, they brought guns with them.”

“Well, that’s good. What about you? Are your master and the other masters here also?” Xu Que turned his head and asked the middle-aged man.

“They are here and also in the elevator.” The middle-aged man nodded.

“Very good.” Xu Que immediately stood up and walked toward the door.

Xia Luoqing and the middle-aged man both stared blankly. “Why was he so eager? Was he actually going out to meet them at the door?”

However, Xu Que walked out of the restaurant and went straight into the surveillance room, which was in a nearby corner of the floor.

Boss Lin was sitting inside the surveillance room, and she was still concerned about what was going on inside her restaurant. She hadn’t expected that Xu Que would suddenly come looking for her.

BANG!

Without waiting for the people inside to respond to his knock, Xu Que pushed open the door of the surveillance room and asked, “Tell me which elevators the Xia family’s people and the martial arts masters are in.”

“What?” Boss Lin stared blankly at him and was startled. “What was this fool planning to do and what did he mean by asking this question?”

“Never mind, no need to tell me. I can see them myself.” Xu Que had caught a glimpse of the surveillance video and had immediately identified the men in suits and the several other old men.

These men were in three different elevators, with no one else but them inside.

“Heh, heh, heh, that’s perfect! Now I can have some fun.” Xu Que’s eyes suddenly lit up. He turned around and left the surveillance room.

Xia Luoqing and the middle-aged man had followed him at a distance. Before they could understand what he was planning to do, they saw him headed toward the elevators in high spirits.

Boss Lin also seemed to realize that something was going on and hurried out of the surveillance room.

Xu Que put his cell phone down on the floor. He continued his live-streaming. Then he walked toward the elevator and directly opened the elevator door using brute force. He nimbly jumped into the elevator shaft.

“F*ck, this guy’s crazy? Is he trying to kill himself?” Boss Lin was shocked.

The elevator was climbing now, and this guy had jumped in. He would either fall and be cut into pieces or be wedged between the elevator and the roof and turned into mincemeat. He was dead either way.

But in the next moment, they were stupefied.

Like Spider-Man, Xu Que propped his legs against the walls of the elevator shaft. He pulled out an enormous cable cutter from the midsection of his body and pulled on the elevator cable. His plan was to cut it.
