Chapter 344 Burn alive (2/2)
”Thirty-minutes.”
Murmuring those words to himself, one of his subordinate hands him a pistol. He takes the gun and continues in his steps as he puts on an earpiece.
There is 30 minutes left until his wife goes on stage. He needs to wrap this up, so he doesn't disappoint her by not being there.
His pace quickens in big strides as he press the button on the earpiece.
”All units, move in.”
In the quiet night of Imperial, five van slowly pulls up to a nearby corner of Beauty. However, no one steps out of the vehicles.
Inside the third parked van, Chu Li Xiang sat in the passenger seat. He did not look out the window but stares down at his phone with a frown.
The time they agreed on has already arrived, so why hasn't Julia called him?
She should have gotten inside Beauty without any problems and lure Lu Tian out.
*knock knock*
Suddenly, his thoughts are disturbed as a faint knock sounds from the passenger window. He looks up and his frown deepens.
The face of a dirty homeless man with a blanket covering the top half of his head comes to view.
Chu Li Xiang scoffs in disgust and ignores the homeless man. He looks back down at his phone and decides to call Julia.
However, the call went straight to voicemail.
He pout his lip and ponder in thought. Something doesn't seem to be right. Every time he calls her, she will always pick up at the first ring.
*knock knock*
”…..”
Another set of knock sounds again, but Chu Li Xiang does not look at the person. He takes a deep breath and orders his men.
”Someone get a hold of Julia.”
”Yes Boss!”
The men in the same car as him quickly takes their phone out to call the red hair woman. However, in the end, no one was able to get in contact with her.
”Boss, she's not answering.”
”Mine went straight to voicemail.”
”Mine too.”
”Bitch!!!”
Chu Li Xiang rose into rage and throws his phone at the dashboard.
What in the world is Julia doing that she cannot answer his call?
Unfortunately, he does not know that his woman is slowly burning alive in a building not far from his location.
*knock knock*
A third set of knock comes to Chu Li Xiang's ears again and this time adding more rage to him. He glares at the window and swung the door open.
”What the fuck do you want?!”
He shouts at the dirty man and grabs the collar of the homeless man's torn shirt. His movement caused the already torn shirt to rip more, but he doesn't care.
”Do you know who you are fucken irritating??!”
The homeless man lower his head in fear and shoulders tremble like he had come across the most terrifying monster.
”Get lost fucken piece of trash!!”
Chu Li Xiang scoffs and shoves the man with a strong push. A thought comes to him. Killing this homeless man will surely lessen his anger.
However, before he could move....
”I know exactly who you are.”
Suddenly, the trembling homeless mutters in a low voice that only Chu Li Xiang can hear. His head was still down as the blanket shadows the top half of his face.
Chu Li Xiang furrow his brows but was quickly alert by the words. He reach behind him for his gun but was a step too late.
The blanket over the homeless man falls back like everything had turned into a slow motion. A handsome face smeared in dirt comes to view as his lips curl into a grin.
”But do you know who I am?”
His voice sounds as one arm grabs one end of the blanket. Swiftly double wrapping it tightly around Chu Li Xiang's neck, he secures the ends with one hand while his other hand pulls out a gun with an attach silencer.
*Pu!*
Before any of the people inside the van could react, a bullet shoots straight into the driver's head as the glass window shatters loudly.
”FUCK!!”
