The Genius System Without Equal

When the four officers stepped into the home, they immediately saw Xiao Luo, who appeared to be practicing acupuncture on an old woman in her room. The chubby man walked in, then gestured his hand toward Xiao Luo and asked, “Sir, please show me your Medical Pract.i.tioner"s Qualification Certificate.”

Xiao Luo was nonchalantly packing his acupuncture kit, and without looking up, he replied, “I don"t have such a doc.u.ment.”

“Then, I"m sorry, you"ll have to come with us,” the chubby man responded.

After the chubby man spoke, two uniformed policemen approached Xiao Luo in a brusque manner, and one of them was even pulling out his handcuffs.

Only then did Xiao Luo look at the chubby man. He grinned in a way that looked more like a grimace and said, “Is saving a life deemed illegal?”

“Practicing medicine without a license is prohibited by law. So, you have to come with us. Please cooperate, we are only doing our jobs,” the chubby man retorted.

“Yes, yes, he mentioned to us before that he didn"t have a medical license. So that means he"s actually practicing medicine illegally. You should arrest him quickly,” Mrs. Tan chimed.

When Tan Jianbai heard this, he was enraged, and pointing at his wife, he reprimanded her, “Are you crazy? Mr. Xiao just saved my mother. How can you wrong him like this?”

“Who"s wronging him? He said earlier that he doesn"t work in the medical field, and it means that he is practicing medicine without a license, am I wrong?” Mrs. Tan countered.

“Why am I married to such an ignorant, rotten person like you!” Tan Jianbai cried.

“Mum, how could you do this…!”

Tan Ningfu was grieved and indignant at her mother"s actions. She had called Xiao Luo, and he had come all the way to treat her grandmother with kind intentions. It was bad enough that her mother didn"t thank him, she was now even testifying against him to the Public Health Bureau people. How different were her actions to the phrase, “returning kindness with ingrat.i.tude”?

“So, it"s Mr. Xiao, is it? Okay, come with us now!”

The chubby man raised his voice several decibels higher and put on an air of authority.

Even a clay idol would have been driven to anger, let alone a living person…

Xiao Luo always believed he had an even temperament, but regardless of how good it was, Tan Ningfu"s mother had poked and goaded him to the extent that his temperance was now frayed. He had come to their home only to treat their elderly mother without expecting anything in return. The irony of it was that not only did he not receive any thanks, but he was even reported for practicing medicine without a license and was now being apprehended the Public Health Bureau for further investigation.

Glaring at the chubby man with cold eyes, he said, “And, what if I refuse?”

The four officers were stunned, and they suddenly felt a strange, disturbing sensation—just like a frog being in the gaze of a poisonous snake about to strike; it was an alarming sense of danger as if they would die at any moment.

“Tsk! Just look at how arrogant he is, behaving so c.o.c.kily even without a medical pract.i.tioner"s license,” Mrs. Tan taunted, “You are from the Public Health Bureau, right? Please hurry up and take this awful man away. It"ll best if you keep him locked up for a year or two to change his bad att.i.tude!”

Hearing that, the chubby man became encouraged by her words and was convinced that such an arrogant man should be taught how to behave. He bellowed out the orders, “Seize h… huh?”

His voice halted abruptly because Xiao Luo had suddenly appeared in front of him and stomped on the toes of his right foot.

Despite wearing a pair of leather shoes, the force exerted was so immense that it came down like a guillotine. There was a gruesome sound of bones cracking as all five of the chubby man"s toes were immediately crushed. The excruciating pain instantly rushed to his brain, and after a momentary silence from the shock, he screamed like a pig being slaughtered, and those who heard it had their hairs standing on ends.

The other three officers from the Public Health Bureau and police department could not even react. Xiao Luo flashed past them like a phantom, and before they knew it, all the toes on their right feet were smashed. It was done with ferocious strength, flattening their toes into paper-thin tissues of flesh clinging inside the surface of their shoe uppers as blood seeped out from the torn seams of the soles.

“Aargh! My toes, my toes…”

The four men fell to the ground grimacing in pain, rolling and screaming miserably.

Tan Jianbai, Tan Ningfu, and her mother were all stunned and were overcome with a sense of trepidation. Who"d have expected Xiao Luo to have such terrifying moves? What"s more, he even dared to attack people from the Public Health Bureau and police department.

Xiao Luo stepped over the four men groaning on the floor as if he was taking a stroll in a garden and ominously stepped toward Mrs. Tan. His eyes were as cold as ice, sending a s.h.i.+ver down her spine.

“W-wait… w-what are you trying to do… huh?”

Mrs. Tan shuddered in fear as she stuttered in a trembling voice.

Tan Jianbai returned to his senses, and rushed in front of his wife, extended his arms to s.h.i.+eld her. After all, she was his spouse, and although Tan Jianbai meant every word he had said when he hurled those insults at her earlier, he still couldn"t bear to watch her toes getting smashed. That would be too much for him to handle.

Nervously, he pleaded, “Mr. Xiao, I"m sorry, I didn"t discipline my wife well enough. If you feel angry, take it out on me.”

“This has nothing to do with you!”

Xiao Luo jabbed his right index finger swiftly, tapping Tan Jianbai"s chest, specifically on his center acupoint. Suddenly losing strength and control of his entire body, Tan Jianbo slumped to the floor. His limbs felt weak, and he was unable to move.

An acupoint attack?!

Despite laying on the floor howling in pain, the four officers immediately recognized the technique and were taken aback. They had a profound understanding of the human body, and these acupoint strikes that were often described in martial arts novels and believed to be mere fiction existed. The acupoints of the human body were as complicated as a night sky full of stars. If adequate force was applied accurately on the acupoint, it was possible to immobilize someone for a specific time.

So far, all their research was limited to theory and had not been practiced in reality. Now that these officers themselves had witnessed a genuine acupoint attack, how could they not be surprised?

Tan Ningfu was in a stupor despite knowing all along that Xiao Luo was an enigma. Why else would the higherups of the airport authorities have blacked out news of the Boeing 747 incident, if not to prevent the media from learning about this man?

Know how to fly an airplane, being extremely skilled in medical practice, and seemingly a past master in martial arts like those from legend. To have all these characteristics packaged into one single person could only mean that this man was extraordinary.

“D-don"t come any closer… do not come any closer!”

Mrs. Tan screamed in panic, fearing for her life.

Tan Ningfu watched in dread as Xiao Luo steadily approached her mother in slow, deliberate steps, as her mother retreated in fear. Suddenly, Mrs. Tan tripped over herself and fell to the floor, but she still continued using her hands to push herself backward.

“Mr. Xiao…”

Tan Ningfu ran toward Xiao Luo, but before she could say another word, Xiao Luo instantly tapped on her acupoint, and just like her father, she collapsed as her body lost all its strength.

Now that he had compromised everyone else"s ability, Xiao Luo stared at Mrs. Tan with a maniacal smile. Swirling his body on his left leg as its axis, he rotated his body, swung up his right leg, aiming a kick toward Mrs. Tan"s head. The winds howled as he unleashed it, and Mrs. Tan"s brain would soon be turned to mush—it would be a fatal blow.

Right at that very moment, something flash in Xiao Luo"s mind—he was reminded of Ji Siying asking him not to kill again.

WHOOSH~

His devastating right foot stopped inches from the left side of Mrs. Tan"s head. A strong wind swept into her, causing the flesh on her face to ripple. Mrs. Tan went pale in horror, and suddenly a dark patch appeared on her crotch—she had wet herself in fear!

Xiao Luo frowned, and with total control over his body, he withdrew his foot from her face and said, “You are now exempted from death, but not from the punishment that you justly deserve! Your husband dotes you, spoils you, and will turn a blind eye whenever you misbehave. You only receive a token reprimand for your vile deeds. But unfortunately, I"m not familiar with you and will not let you trample on my head!”
