Chapter 217 I need to know the truth (2/2)

Ethan Lu patiently listened to Chris Yu's assertions. However, the more he listened to him, the more questions hovered on his mind. ”Chris… how come you recklessly killed the man knowing his large brigade and vast connections?”

Since their discussion, last night was entirely sidetracked to Lexi and why Morris Liu did what he had done, Ethan Lu overlooked this fact. But now, after receiving reports of the horrendous mass suicide from the men that attempted to break into his house before they turned them in to the police, he knew he needed to know more.

After all, it was Lexi and her family's safety on the line. Therefore, he needed to know the whole truth without leaving a single detail behind. In that way, he would know how to ensnare them to his trap.

”I need to know the truth— no more lies— I hate it.” He firmly added as an unreadable glint flashed across his eyes.

”Eh…” Struggling, Chris Yu contemplated his words as one wrong word, Ethan Lu would be dragged into a more horrible mess than they already obliged onto him.

”Okay, Me and Brother Mo, we somehow killed the man but not from our own hands okay? Brother Mo believed in the law that's why I'm here. Then, somewhere along the line, we got ourselves entangled with the worst guys and they made a deal. So yeah, Kong Shuren died and we cleaned up the mess.”

”Who are they?” Probing further, Ethan Lu knitted his brows as he never thought that his friends would get more entangled with more dangerous people than their real problem. Well, it was not like he was judging them as Morris Liu was pushed into a corner. In fact, if he put himself in his shoes, Ethan Lu also didn't know what he'd do if he was put into such a predicament.

After all, Morris Liu had nothing but a valueless title all this time.

”Man, believe me I can't tell you because if I do, you'd be dragged into even deeper sh*t than you're already in.” Letting out a heavy exhale, Chris Yu shook his head. Up until now, his skin could still not help but crawl being reminded of the gaze of the man that killed Kong Shuren in cold blood.

He was grateful that he was never assigned to missions like infiltrate Luciano's base as all agents who did those missions ended with a horrible death that only a piece of their skin or limbs would be sent back to them. Daringly warning them to stay out with their business which irked the secret international government forces even more. Alas, no matter what they'd do, Luciano Familia was a formidable and merciless group.

Of course, when Chris Yu heard Seraphina Yue, the word Luciano and his alias as Big Daddy— he was utterly mind blown that left him unable to move for a while. Although her statements were vague, he got the gist and speculated on his own.

”Are you sure they won't stab our backs?”

”Yes, I am certain.” Firmly reassuring Ethan Lu, Chris Yu nodded even though the man on the other end of the line couldn't see him.

”I can only guarantee Lexi's and her parent's safety.”

”Got it.” With that said response from him, Ethan Lu hung up on Chris Yu.

”I guess that's enough information… no need to tell him that Luciano's man ran amok and went on a killing spree.” Chris Yu murmured as he read the hair raising reports on the screen of his laptop on the government classified site.

What he said regarding Kong Shuren's men having an internal dilemma wasn't the full truth nor it was a lie. They were indeed having some issues as they were slowly being hunted down one after another by one man. Although the reports didn't specify who was it, Chris Yu was certain that it was that man who silenced Kong Shuren.
