Leizu Wu At this moment, I couldn't help but chuckle. After a while, Leizu Wu was still heartbroken over his daughter, knowing that she couldn't gain any advantage in front of me. He stepped in front of Rayue, realizing he couldn't stop her, and immediately pointed out my background, hoping Rayue would catch his meaning.
Pity the parents' hearts.
Unfortunately, Rayue did not grasp her father's implication. Instead, she rubbed her palms together, spat into her hands, and swung a crisp punch toward my cheek.
Damn, after years of navigating the martial world, if I were hit by your limbs, what kind of reputation would I have left? I smiled slightly, raised my hand to block Rayue's punch, even calculating my strength so as not to embarrass her too much; I intended to gently push her away afterward.
Unexpectedly, just as my hand touched Rayue, my entire body suddenly went numb. At that moment, Rayue's punch struck my cheek.
Bang!
Although my body was numb, strangely enough, all my senses remained intact. When Rayue's fist hit my face, it felt like fire burning against my skin. It was not just pain; there was also shame, frustration, and anger.
What the hell is going on?
Rayue sneered and withdrew her hand before throwing another punch at my face.
I heard Kong Xuan beside me softly exclaim just as Rayue's fist was about to hit me. In that instant, Kong Xuan grabbed Rayue's wrist. Since both their hands were in front of me, I could see a faint red glow emanating from Rayue's hand while Kong Xuan's palm glowed with a hint of green.
“Zheng Nan, are you okay?” Kong Xuan looked at me in surprise but did not pause in her actions. With a swift motion, she pulled Rayue over and twisted her arm behind her back. Rayue cried out in pain.
Damn, I didn’t say anything! I turned my eyes left and right to indicate that I was unaware of the situation.
“Ling Ju! Ling Ju! Let’s talk this out; can you let go first?” Lady Lei hurriedly called out.
“Stay out of this! This is none of your business!” Kong Xuan snapped back sharply: “Leizu Wu, do you know about this or not?”
Leizu Wu listened to Kong Xuan and hurriedly said, "I don't know anything." Then, looking at his daughter, he gritted his teeth and added, "However, I would like to ask you to let my daughter go. No matter what she did wrong, I am willing to bear all the consequences."
"You can bear the consequences of nothing!" Kong Xuan cursed, applying a bit more pressure. Hearing Rayue's increasingly desperate cries, he sneered, "Girl, what kind of trick did you use on my friend? Hurry up and tell me, or your fate will be just like this Coffee Table."
With that, Kong Xuan kicked the Coffee Table. The glass table flipped into the air, and the teacups and Safe that were on it fell to the ground with a crash. Just as the Coffee Table was descending, Kong Xuan swiftly kicked it again, shattering the glass table into pieces.
Glass shards flew everywhere as Rayue screamed, "I... I bought that Paralysis Charm!"
Paralysis Charm?
It took me a moment to recall that in Dominion Villa, Yangli Daxian had once used a Paralysis Charm against me. Yes, at that time Yangli Daxian had purchased it from Thunder Lord and Lightning Mother. Could it be that Rayue's Paralysis Charm came from those people at the villa?
That was impossible. Ever since Flower Attacker Gao Youdi and the others had all died, Dominion Villa no longer existed. Later, Lou Wei had mentioned to me that those people in the villa were originally from the Ninth Research Institute. Their loyalty to the country was unquestionable; after this incident, they all returned to their homeland. Hua Wuqiu's father became the new director of the research institute. The work of those people in the villa remained unchanged, but their ranks were higher than before, similar to how scientists were treated during our Two Bombs, One Satellite era.
In other words, Thunder Lord and Lightning Mother were now among the few receiving special allowances from the State Council. They lived well without having to pay social security; why would they still sell Paralysis Charms outside? Moreover, after the research institute was upgraded, the corresponding confidentiality levels increased significantly. How could they possibly have opportunities to sell things outside?
As for this Paralysis Charm, I had once discussed it with Kong Xuan while drinking. We concluded that this thing had nothing to do with spells; it was purely high-tech. When it touched a person's body, it directly affected the central nervous system, somewhat similar to how one's legs go numb after sitting for too long; it would naturally recover after a few minutes.
Kong Xuan even thought of a countermeasure: as long as one cast a spell in their hand, they could resist this kind of charm's attack. At that time, I didn't think much of it; Thunder Lord and Lightning Mother were already government officials. I would never have another chance to see such charms in my lifetime; what use was learning spells?
I never expected to encounter this kind of Paralysis Charm again in Rayue's hands. It seemed that being hit by a Paralysis Charm twice was somewhat different; Yangli Daxian's Paralysis Charm left me completely paralyzed but still able to speak. However, Rayue's Paralysis Charm rendered me unable to utter a word. Could it be that Rayue's version was an improved upgrade?
After a while, my body finally recovered. I moved my limbs and frowned as I asked, "Miss, where did you buy this Paralysis Charm?"
Rayue glared at me without answering. Kong Xuan sneered and exerted some force, pulling her restrained hands upward slightly.
It seemed that Kong Xuan caused her pain; Rayue gasped and shouted at Kong Xuan, "Hey! You jerk! Be gentle! I bought it on Taobao."
"Ling Ju, now that Ghost Brother has returned to normal, I beg you to let her go," Leizu Wu coughed a few times from the side, looking both pained and anxious with a hint of embarrassment.
I can understand the feelings of Leizu Wu. One of us is a figure to befriend in the underworld of Lianxing City, while the other is the director of the Star City Public Security Bureau. Neither side of the underworld is someone he can provoke. Moreover, his son Ray Yu needs us to deliver the ransom; despite having wealth and power, he can only plead quietly.
"None of your business! Stay quiet over there!" Kong Xuan threatened fiercely. After a moment's thought, he loosened his grip on Rayue and pushed him forward. "Log into this store with your phone and show us."
Rayue staggered a few steps forward, avoiding eye contact with Kong Xuan, but shot me a fierce glare, which clearly meant for me to be careful in the future; every time we meet, I should expect a punch or something similar.
I couldn't help but chuckle. If it weren't for my lack of vigilance against your Paralysis Charm, even a hundred of you wouldn't be my match. Sigh, getting punched in the face by a girl is truly embarrassing, but I had no intention of seeking revenge. Quarreling with a girl over such matters is something even the most shameless Fatty would disdain. Fine, let it be just one punch; after all, there are no outsiders here.
Taking out my phone, Rayue logged into the Taobao website. He looked somewhat unnatural like Leizu Wu and his wife beside him and lowered his head to type in "vibrator."
Kong Xuan and I exchanged glances and saw the suppressed amusement in each other's eyes. I looked at Leizu Wu and noticed that he also appeared quite embarrassed—it's awkward for parents to see their daughter buying such things, especially with outsiders present.
After swiping on his phone for a while, Rayue found a store and clicked in. He tapped around left and right, clicking on about seven or eight links before finally landing on a black webpage featuring around ten products. Finding one product, Rayue handed his phone to Kong Xuan: "Look, this is where it's bought."
I leaned closer; the page displayed three products, with the middle one showing two talismans adorned with some chaotic patterns. Above the image were the four red characters 'Paralysis Charm,' accompanied by a description.
Product Effect: Can paralyze the opponent for five minutes.
Usage Method: Tear open the talisman, rub it in your palm; after one second, it will dissolve into your hand, with faint red light emanating from your palm.
Expiration: Single-use product; once used, it's gone.
Wow, this page's introduction is incredibly impressive! However, unlike typical Taobao pages, there were no price listings; instead, below this image was a black input box. I pointed at this input box and asked Rayue: "What does this mean?"
"It means you need to enter a password!" Rayue raised an eyebrow. "I stumbled upon this website by chance and thought it was amusing, so I randomly entered the password pbppbbdpp. I didn't expect it to show that the password was correct, and then the website shipped it to me."
"You just randomly entered that string of characters? What does ppbb mean?" Hearing that string of nonsense from Rayue made my head spin.
"Eat grapes without spitting out grape skins; if you don't eat grapes, you'll spit out grape skins!" Rayue rolled his eyes at me. "It's just a kind of silly password that I happened to guess correctly."
I asked in surprise, "So then, you received this Paralysis Charm?"
"What about you?" Rayue replied.
"Yue, do not be rude," Leizu Wu couldn't help but scold softly.
I didn't pay much attention to this; instead, I was thinking that perhaps this Website was the external portal of the Ninth Research Institute, and only those who knew the password could access the products. It seemed that Rayue had coincidentally entered this Website and inadvertently guessed the password, which allowed him to obtain this Paralysis Charm.
"What about other products?" I asked Rayue.
"Other ones won't work; the password is incorrect," Rayue shook his head. "There are still many interesting things I can't access; it's really tempting."
"What other interesting things are there?" I casually asked.
Kong Xuan was already scrolling through the screen, and just as he flipped to one of the products, I couldn't help but shout loudly, "Stop!"
At that moment, a black hand appeared prominently in the middle of the screen. This black hand was the same one I had seen at Star Riverbank.
