Chapter 103: 102, There really is a misunderstanding!_1 Chapter 103: 102, There really is a misunderstanding!_1 Acting young to lower the other’s guard, that was the strategy Ren He could think of for now.

Entering through the window for a sneak attack wouldn’t work due to the security bars. Charging in was also unrealistic, as trying to break down the door might take a while.

Ren He’s biggest advantage was actually the fact that he was still a middle school student, just 16 years old. In most people’s minds, if you were a professional thief, who would pay serious attention to a middle schooler? This was China, not one of those countries with child soldiers.

However, who could imagine that such a middle schooler’s punch was already powerful enough to almost kill a cow? That just wasn’t scientific.

There were two people inside; if he could take one down in the blink of an eye at the very start, then the situation afterward should be easier to handle. Ren He took deep breaths, trying to keep his mind as calm as possible. He recalled the process of fighting with Lin Hao, trying to grasp that sense of combat.

Inside the room, Yang Xi’s and Yang En’s mouths were thoroughly sealed with duct tape, making it impossible for any sound they might produce from their throats to penetrate the walls and alert Ren He.

Yang Xi and Yang En understood that Ren He had never borrowed Yang Xi’s English homework; it was just a pretext. Ren He, not fond of studying and yet inexplicably performing quite well, spoke English with a fluent West Coast American accent.

The two of them immediately realized that Ren He must have learned about their predicament through some unknown means and had rushed over to rescue them, but what could a middle schooler accomplish?

Yang En and Yang Xi were completely unaware of Ren He’s formidable combat capability. Even as Ren He stood outside knocking, all they could think of was to warn him to leave immediately.

Yang Xi knew that Ren He possessed the “Vomiting Skill,” but what good was that alone? She wasn’t a selfish person, nor was she like a drowning person grasping at straws to save their own life, fully aware that a straw couldn’t support such a great weight. Even if Ren He had the capability to save them, she still hoped that Ren He wouldn’t risk his life doing so.

The criminals were observing the pair’s reactions, trying to determine if what Ren He said outside the door were true. If so much as a hint of joy appeared in Yang En’s or Yang Xi’s eyes, they would not open the door. This mission was extremely important; capturing Yang En could lead to an understanding of what was accomplished during the exchange visits of the 16 countries, whether any secret agreements were made, whether any intelligence was stolen, or, potentially, the exposure of China’s intelligence network abroad.

Before leaving, the plan had been that if Yang En had any protection, they would immediately withdraw. It was increasingly difficult to operate in China these days.

But to their surprise, they had observed for several days and had not detected anyone guarding Yang En, which made them overjoyed.

They had been staying in a rented apartment across from Yang En’s home for the past few days, so they knew that every night, a young boy would come to Yang En’s house. And since Yang En and Yang Xi’s reactions weren’t out of the ordinary, they glanced at each other and decided to capture Ren He as well, fearing that the kid outside might suspect something and interfere with their mission.

They slowly approached the door, one of them waiting by the side while another reached out to open it.

With a click, the lock was turned counterclockwise by the thief, but just as he was about to pull open the door, a very heavy stomping noise came from outside, as if someone had forcefully stepped back and then suddenly exerted power!

They could only watch, as if time slowed down, Yang Xi’s iron door appeared to bulge out from the force of a monumental blow.

With a thunderous crash, Ren He took a small step back, then lifted his left leg and heavily kicked the iron door. The entire door distorted from the impact, and since Yang Xi’s door opened inward, the door itself slammed towards the thief who had been trying to open it.

An unbelievable scene unfolded: that single kick transferred enough power through the door to knock the thief behind it to the ground.

The door’s impact on his left side made the thief feel as if that half of his body had gone numb instantaneously!

Half a second later, agonizing pain spread from that side, starting in the marrow of his bones before fermenting and spreading through all his nerves! The thief passed out from the intense pain immediately!

At that moment, both kidnappers experienced a brief blank in their minds, completely clueless as to what was happening. Wasn’t that the middle school student outside? They instinctively thought there must be someone else!

There’s a master!

The kidnapper by the door reached for the gun at his back, but just then a figure crouched and dashed into the room. The moment he saw the intruder, he recklessly charged at him. He was so fast that there wasn’t even time to draw the gun!

And the kidnapper could see clearly now—it was indeed that middle school student!

There was no one else, just the middle school student outside. But the kidnapper couldn’t understand—could a middle school student really kick like that?

The moment Ren He entered the room and saw that iconic gun-drawing gesture from the movies, his heart skipped a beat. What the hell, a gun!

Bear in mind that China is one of the countries with the strictest gun bans, so ordinary people generally don’t have any concept of firearms. Thus, Ren He felt a chill in his heart when he saw this scene.

But since he had already rushed this far, would he not be wasting his chance if he ran away now? So, in a split second, Ren He charged forward. It was the decisiveness that his master-level fighting skills gave him. He judged that the other party wouldn’t have time to draw his gun before he got close enough!

Moreover, Ren He had a trump card!

The kidnapper’s hand had already touched the gun, but at that moment, he suddenly felt like vomiting—not just a little, but very much so. He couldn’t hold it in any longer…

Vomit…

His hand shook, and the gun had just been pulled out when it fell to the floor. The vomiting caused by the Vomiting Skill was from the inside out. The kidnapper’s stomach was like a hot water bag squeezed by an invisible hand, and at that moment, the hand suddenly clenched tightly, forcing out everything in the stomach as if squeezing toothpaste…

This was more than just a little discomfort. The kidnapper could only lament the strength of that grip, damn it!

And at that moment, Ren He had already reached him and viciously lifted his leg to kick between the kidnapper’s legs. As Ren He kicked, he thought, “Brother, don’t blame me for this. The Divine Punishment System teaches to never announce strikes below the belt—there’s no mercy in a fight.”

As the man’s eyes rolled back and he passed out, Ren He still wondered why these two didn’t seem as tough as the young man on the rooftop?! Could it be that the young man was also a master of martial arts?

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. Just 3 seconds after the fight ended, Lin Hao rushed in through the door. When Ren He saw him, he suddenly felt like he understood something—as if this guy was in cahoots with the two kidnappers. That’s why he had been surveilling Yang Xi’s home, following her around, and all of that made sense! Otherwise, who would book a hotel room and buy a high-power telescope just to peep on a girl?

So that was it! Ren He felt like he might have grasped the truth!

When Lin Hao burst in, he saw both kidnappers unconscious on the ground. He finally breathed a sigh of relief, but as he was about to speak, he noticed the look on Ren He’s face and suddenly felt like some bad luck was about to happen… And this bad luck might, probably, perhaps befall him!

This is a big misunderstanding!
