Chapter 788 - In Qian Mansion (1/2)

On the other side of the line, Jang Shin clenched the phone on his uninjured hand.

His left arm, his right leg, and his chest were bandaged. He was not in the position to move. However, Linfeng knew the anxiousness in Jang Shin's heart. Despite his friend being injured, he still called him to let him know what he found. If he was in Jang Shin's situation, Jang Shin would also do what he did.

Linfeng was right. Jang Shin would go no matter if he could move or not. When he remembered how he failed to get Tang Xinyang back in the hands of those men, Jang Shin felt like he had failed all of his ancestors and most importantly, Tang Xinyang.

Those men were skillful. Fighting four of them at the same time put him at a disadvantage. He had no choice but to watch those men take her. He dragged his bloodied body to go after them. Alast he fell unconscious. If the reinforcement team did not arrive, those people might have time to kill him.

Jang Shin's eyes flashed with killing intent and determination, ”I will go.”

”Alright. I know you are injured. When fighting comes, you have to stay aside.” Linfeng warned the injured man.

”Don't worry. My right arm and other leg are still working. I won't be a burden.”

Linfeng and Jang Shin discussed the plan. The two agreed to meet twenty minutes later after they round up their people. They had still had to wait for Gu Zhen to locate the right place and the fastest way to get there.

Linfeng mentioned this to Mistress Tang and the others. Mistress Tang thought back of the strange mountain that she and Old Lu was keeping an eye on. Coupled with Linfeng's past investigation, this corresponds with Mistress Tang's information. The search went a lot smoother with this newfound information.

While Linfeng and the others were preparing to venture into that particular mountain, the topic of their discussion- the mountain- was currently had many ongoing activities.

This nameless land was a private property of the Qians. Neither the government nor the previous branches of the Qian family were aware of its existence.

The land beneath the mountain, the mountain itself, and the huge mansion on top of it were only known to the heads and the heirs of the main Qian family. It was inherited way back before the government was fully stabilized in the country. Its history was deep as the four legendary families.

After the helicopter landed miles away from the mountain, multiple cars which were parked beforehand lighted up their engines. The group of cars drove all the way to the mountain, their destination was the mansion.

Since their master wanted this plan to be a hundred percent successful despite the loss, the experts prepared more than enough. They smoothly transferred their targets. It was ten minutes after Xiong Zhi entered the mansion that the rest arrived.

The experts carried their captives one by one and transferred them into a room. They never let the captives communicate with each other.

...

Xiong Zhi crawled to reach the door. The dust and dirt clung to her body. But she did not pay them any heed. She leaned towards the door and tried to listen. She could not hear Tang Xinyang's voice. Nor what was happening outside. This room must be soundproof. She angrily bumped her head on the door. But when she felt the pain, she stopped.

No matter what kind of noise she made, Tang Xinyang in the other room won't be able to hear it. She could also not vent her anger by harming herself.

Xiong Zhi doesn't know how much time had passed. In darkness and still silence, she thought a lot. She blamed her own foolishness. She did not underestimate Ming Zhi Yi's capability one bit, however, she underestimate his craziness.

When she cornered him and he disappeared from the world, she became complacent. Thinking that Linfeng and her people would find him any time. And even if he retaliated, what he could do when he already lost his organization?

She thought that with Gunan dead and Ming Zhi Yi disappearing from the world with no power left, she thought that everything would go on the right track. That she could finally have a peaceful life with Linfeng without any more life-threatening situations from Ming Zhi Yi.

But she was wrong.

When Lu Jin started missing, she should have raised her guard eminently. Because Lu Jin was their greatest trump card against Ming Zhi Yi. Xiong Zhi could not deny it, without Lu Jin, they were blind to Ming Zhi Yi's movement.

Disappointment, Self-blame, Failure, and many negative thoughts swirled in Xiong Zhi's head.

Suddenly she banged her head once again to the door.

Redness appeared on her forehead.

”Stop it, Xiong Zhi. Now's not the time...”

Xiong Zhi threw away negative thoughts in the back of her mind. After a moment passed, her tight nerves loosened as fatigue and thirst overcame her. Since the door might open anytime, she crawled back to where she was before and took a rest.

She needed energy for what might happen later.

Finally, after an unknown time passed, the door opened.
