Chapter 1562 — What a Coincidence! He Had Sworn Before Wei Zhao to Protect Gu Mengyao and the Other Two, So Naturally He Must Give It His All

To keep from being late, Wu Chengtian had gone out of his way to print two labels and stick them on the car. They read: "Examinee on board — please show consideration!"

That Wu Chengtian should have such a careful side to him surprised both Gu Mengyao and Tang Yun. This little brother of Wei Zhao's was not as much of a fool as he looked.

In truth, Wu Chengtian was not much of a fool at all — merely a little arrogant, and that was hardly a flaw. It was a trait common to the sons of great houses, and all the more so in one like Wu Chengtian, young and with a measure of real strength to his name.

But now that he had seen how much more formidable Wei Zhao and Ergoudan were, he understood that there is always a heaven beyond heaven and a man beyond men, and he had reined himself in considerably.

The car ran along Songshan City's main road, steady and even. Wu Chengtian drove well enough; the car wove through the traffic...

"There's still time. No need to rush." Gu Mengyao said to Wu Chengtian.

"Better to hurry. Who knows whether we'll hit a jam later?" Wu Chengtian's task today was to escort the three girls to the examination hall, so he dared not slacken in the slightest.

"True. I keep feeling something is about to happen too. Better to get to the school early." Shen Yushu nodded in agreement.

The moment Shen Yushu finished speaking, Wu Chengtian slammed the brake to the floor, and the car stopped dead in the middle of the road! Right in front of his car a man had suddenly appeared, blocking the way. Afraid of running him down, Wu Chengtian had stopped!

"You jinx, Yushu! What are you saying? We nearly had an accident!" Gu Mengyao grumbled in annoyance.

But she had barely finished complaining when she sensed something was wrong — because the man standing in front of the car was masked!

"Oh my god, this guy... he isn't a fake Arrow Brand Bro, is he?" Shen Yushu's eyes went wide as she stared in shock at the man before the car.

"It seems... he is..." Tang Yun, seeing the man's build, was startled too. Who would have thought they would meet on such a narrow road!

Wu Chengtian, however, frowned. If this man really was a fake Wei Zhao, then he had certainly come with ill intent!

Sure enough, the next moment the masked man strode over, reached out, and tore the door off Wu Chengtian's Audi S5, then thrust out a hand to seize him!

Wu Chengtian was aghast — he had not expected the man to be so formidable! He prided himself on his Iron Hand Technique, on the strength of his hands, yet this man was no weaker; he had ripped a car door off with one hand!

"Be careful, call the police, quick! I'll go down and deal with him!" Wu Chengtian leapt out of the car, ready to tangle with the newcomer.

"All right!" Gu Mengyao nodded hurriedly, took out her phone, and without hesitation dialed Qiu Lingshan's number. She had meant to call the police directly, but then thought that going through the emergency center would require explanations; better to reach Qiu Lingshan, who was in charge of this case, and spare herself the trouble.

Wu Chengtian got out and shouted at the masked man: "Who are you? Give your name! Skulking behind a mask is no deed of a martial artist!"

But the masked man acted as though he had not heard him at all, ignoring him completely. He strode to the rear door of the Audi S5 and, reaching out, tore that off as well.

Wu Chengtian was badly startled. He raised his hand and struck at the masked man's back, but the man seemed not to feel it, unmoved, still wrecking the rear door. Wu Chengtian's palm landed square on his back with a great bang!

Yet after taking Wu Chengtian's heavy blow, the masked man only swayed twice; it seemed to have done him no real harm. He merely came to himself with a start and swung a palm at Wu Chengtian!

Wu Chengtian was too close; when the masked man's palm came back, there was nowhere to dodge. He could only raise his hand to meet it. Their palms clashed with a muffled thud. Wu Chengtian was unhurt, but inwardly he was shaken to the core!

The masked man's hand skills were no weaker than his own, heir to the Iron Hand Technique though he was! Neither was injured, yet they were evenly matched. This man was at least of early Profound Stage external strength!

Even as Wu Chengtian reeled inwardly, he grew more cautious. Though he was an early Profound Stage fighter who cultivated both inner and outer arts, and seemed a shade stronger than the masked man, his external strength had only recently advanced and was not yet solid. Against this masked man, he held no advantage.

What puzzled Wu Chengtian, though, was that after trading that palm, the masked man paid him no further heed. He turned and reached into the car for Shen Yushu!

"Ah!" Shen Yushu cried out as her arm was seized and she was dragged out of the car.

Instinctively she grabbed at him and tore the mask from his face — for the latest command in Zero One's mind contained no resistance to having his mask pulled off. An Jianwen had intended it so: once the masked man lost his mask, Wei Zhao could be smeared with the blame.

"Arrow Brand Bro?" Seeing the masked man's true face, Shen Yushu froze, staring at him in shock. So alike — so very alike! Though in her heart she had long since been certain this man could not be Wei Zhao, the moment she saw his face she could not help crying out "Arrow Brand Bro": "Is it you? It's not you, is it? You wouldn't hurt Xiaoshu, would you?"

Zero One paid no attention to what Shen Yushu said. The hypnotic command he had received today was this: stop a student's car in the street on the day of the college entrance exam. If the car held a boy, break both his hands so that he could not sit the exam.

If the car held a girl, then tear off her clothes and molest her openly in the street. Clearly Shen Yushu was a girl, so Zero One automatically carried out the second command. As for what Shen Yushu was saying, he could not understand it.

Watching from not far off, Da Luozi saw Shen Yushu get out of the car and knew at once that things had gone wrong. He had long since investigated who Shen Yushu was — this girl was one of Wei Zhao's people. Who would have thought Zero One would be so lucky as to stop a random car and catch them?

But it was too late for Da Luozi to intervene. Zero One's commands had been hypnotically implanted beforehand; unless the hypnotist himself were present, no one's words would do any good.
