Chapter 146 - Interrupted (2/2)

”Oh.. is that so?” Zhi Hei held the branding iron in his hand and pressed it right on the assassin's crotch area.

Sizz

This time, the assassin couldn't hold back his voice and screamed in pain. He thought that Zhi Hei would never kill him as long as he didn't give him the information that he had asked for. Unfortunately, his mindset was wrong.

Zhi Hei tossed the branding iron away and sanitized his hands. Then, he threw a pair of new gloves towards the guard and instructed, ”Heat up the oil and pour it down his crotch. It's a valuable lesson. I'll be back.”

If it weren't for the vibration coming from his cellphone, he wouldn't stop midway. The guard nodded as he watched Zhi Hei walk away with his phone against his ear.

”Chen Mu, what is it?” Other than his family and Shi Xue, Chen Mu was the only one who could make him stop what he's working on to see what he needs.

”I need a favor from you, but I can't speak much about what is going on.” From his tone, Zhi Hei could tell that this situation is serious. Without a second thought, he replied, ”go on.”

”Long story short, Susu and her family needs a secretive place to stay for a while. I'm not sure how long they need to stay hidden, but-”

”No problem. I'll send you the address for one of the private properties with the highest level security. I'll have it cleaned by the afternoon.” While speaking to him, Zhi Hei sent a text to Shen Qi about cleaning the private property and making several copies of the keys. After everything was set, he messages Chen Mu the address of the place.

”Thanks. I got your text. Appreciate it.” Chen Mu would have used one of Chen family's properties, but he weighed the risks of getting discovered between using his own place versus a trustworthy friend's place and decided that his properties were not the safest.

Therefore, he chose to play it safe than be sorry later.

”Don't stress it. Let me know if you need anything else. I haven't thanked you for saving Shi Xue and moving back and forth, despite your heavy schedule. I'm glad to help.” Zhi Hei smiled over the call when he heard a sigh of relief from Chen Mu's side.

The call ended, but the assassin's adventurous journey to death had not ended yet. It was only the beginning. As Zhi Hei walked past a few cells, he glanced at Tian Guo Min's horrified expression for two seconds before heading back to where the petrifying cries were coming from. His fingers slowly clenched into a fist, 'you're next.'
