Chapter 433 - too late for regret (1/2)

Walking up to the front door of the rundown building, Gongi stops and checks his reflection in the glass door. He fixes his hair again and gestures a signal with his head to the three men.

”What are you idiots wait for? Open the door.”

All three men looks at the scrawny man with a haggard face. Hesitation is shown on their face as they did not hide it from him. They didn't know if they should listen to the useless man.

Truth be told, none of them were close to Gongi even though they're from the same gang. However, Chu Li Xiang did give Gongi the permission to lead this mission.

One of the three men sighs in annoyance and pulls the glass door open.

Seeing them listen to him like he was the king of the world, Gongi scoffs at the man and enters the building with his chin raised. However, what his eyes were met with shook him to the core.

”W-What the hell happened here?!”

”These are our brother! Why are they dead?”

”Gongi, didn't you say we got a clear? Why are our brothers like this?”

All three men spoke in horror and confusion at the sight of five dead men lying on the ground, but all their words did not enter Gongi's ears. His expression at this moment is as pale as a ghost. Even his legs were shaking at the sight of the dead men.

He may be a part of the underworld, but every time it came to bloodshed, he would cower and hide behind everyone until its over.

One of the men (we'll call him A) glance at Gongi and his face flash with disgust. This is why they were hesitant to follow the good for nothing man. At the sight of blood and Gongi would turn into a frighten little girl.

However, in respect for his boss, he will put up with this for now.

”Gongi, are you going to chicken out now?”

Hearing A, Gongi cast a glare at the man. He force a scoff and force his feet to move forward. Right now, he is the one in control, he cannot be a chicken and lose face.

Watching the haggard face man walk with trembling legs inside, all three men couldn't help but laugh to each other. To think Chu Li Xiang actually left them in the hands of the useless being.

”F-Fucken b-bastards… J-Just w-watch…”

Gongi mumble under his breath as he force his legs to move through the dimly lit hallway. He made sure to keep his eyes ahead with no intentions of looking down at the dead bodies of his so-called brothers.

After what felt like a whole year in a scorching hot desert, he finally arrives at the wooden door on the other side.

Man 1 had already called to confirm a clear, so he did not waste anymore time and swung the door open. Right now, he just wanted to get away from this blood stench hallway of hell.

Like the hallway that had very little light, the inside of Uncle Zhi's shop was just the same. The entire place dim of light with only one light brightening the middle. Everything else was covered in darkness.

However, a slender figure can be seen sitting on a chair with her hands tied behind her back and ankles strap to the front legs of the chair. Her head hung low as she drifted away from her consciousness.

Next to her was none other than Man 1. He had his black mask on and looked like he was taking a nap.

Gongi's fear was quickly replaced with a malicious sneer when he saw Yue Ling all tied up and ready for him. Although, he would have preferred her to be tied to a table, a chair isn't so bad either.

Just as he was about to take a step forward, he sees a dark figure from the corners of his eyes. Turning to see what it is, his sneer widens more than it already is.

Sitting on the ground with his back leaned against the wall is none other than Lu Tian. Like his wife, his hands are also tied behind his back.

”Heh.”

Gongi scoffs a sarcastic chuckle at the sight of the almighty business king. Ignoring him, he walks straight for Yue Ling. He could not wait to tear her clothes to shreds and have a taste of her.

Seeing the man be so careless, A shook his head. This is why Gongi can never be a leader but a stupid follower. How can he just walk over to the target without checking the situation first?

Good thing Chu Li Xiang warned them at the start. Even if they were told the situation is clear, they have to double check. After all, this is Lu Tian they're dealing with.

Shaking his head, he looks at the other two men before walking away.

”I'll go check if he's really dead.”
