On the road to the abandoned factory.
The Rolls-Royce's V12 engine roared like a mad beast.
In the driver's seat, Qin Yu's innocent face was now filled with murderous intent.
He pressed the accelerator to the floor, the text message and Song Zhiyi's pitiful photo replaying in his mind.
"Lu Cheng, you just wait!"
"When Young Master I arrive! I'll tear that hypocritical face of yours to shreds right in front of Sister Zhiyi!"
"I'll strip you of that dog's skin and show you what a true hero saving a beauty is!"
However!
Just as he was burning with rage, pushing the car to its limit, wishing he could instantly fly to that abandoned factory and rescue his beloved from the devil's clutches...
"Screech—!!!"
Several heavy dump trucks suddenly appeared out of nowhere, just like when Song Zhiyi was kidnapped.
They instantly formed a roadblock, completely blocking the Rolls-Royce.
Immediately after, several Guangzhou-style troop carriers stopped beside his car, and with a whoosh, a dozen masked assassins, their faces covered and armed with various clubs and machetes, jumped out!
As soon as they got out of the cars, without a word, they immediately aimed their weapons at the Rolls-Royce where Qin Yu was, unleashing a barrage of attacks. If you don't come out, we'll smash your car!
Although Qin Yu was highly skilled in martial arts and fearless of death,
the people in front of him now, whether in terms of their well-equipped gear or the professionalism of their actions, were far beyond what those street thugs who only knew how to haphazardly slash and hack could compare to.
But Qin Yu was currently burdened with the important task of a hero saving a beauty. He didn't dare to delay for a moment, letting out a furious roar, he violently pushed open the car door and leaped out!
Relying on his terrifying strength at the peak of 'Hua Jin' (internal energy mastery), he engaged in a fierce battle with the dozen masked assassins!
As a result, just as Qin Yu was about to display his might and gain the upper hand,
the other side actually started to retreat. Several people came forward to entangle Qin Yu, quickly covering their teammates' full retreat.
"Damn it, if you have the guts, keep fighting! What kind of skill is running away!"
"These assassins, they don't want to fight at all..."
"Could it be that Lu Cheng sent so many assassins to intercept me to prevent me from rescuing Sister Zhiyi?"
"I'll remember this debt too!"
Qin Yu didn't bother to dwell on these thoughts and immediately restarted the car, driving towards the abandoned factory.
However, he hadn't driven far!
Ahead, there were several more identical heavy dump trucks!
And another dozen masked assassins!
They still showed no desire to fight, and as soon as the situation turned unfavorable, they immediately organized a retreat!
Wave after wave of these assassins relentlessly delayed him on this road to the truth!
This was also the strategy devised by the assassin leader to complete the "interception" mission entrusted by Ji Bochang with the lowest possible casualties.
However, he hadn't expected the Lu Family bodyguards to be this strong. From beginning to end, they didn't even see the person in the back seat; only one driver got out of the car and sent them scattering in a panic!
While Qin Yu was still on the road, engaged in a desperate fight with those assassins,
Lu Cheng, upon receiving the news, felt that the fire wasn't burning hot enough and needed more fuel.
He unhurriedly picked up his phone and dialed the number of Ji Bochang's "cheap old man."
Soon the call connected, and the slightly nervous voice of the Head of the Ji Family came through:
"Hello? Is this Young Master Lu? What are Young Master Lu's instructions?"
Lu Cheng's tone was as gentle as if he were catching up with an old friend, yet it still sent shivers down the spine of the Head of the Ji Family.
"Uncle Ji, you are too polite."
"I just wanted to ask you about something."
"Do you know where Ji Bochang is right now?"
The Head of the Ji Family on the other end of the phone almost subconsciously replied:
"Bochang, he's probably at a gathering with friends..."
"Is that so?"
"Uncle Ji, let's get straight to the point."
"Miss Song Zhiyi, the eldest daughter of the Song Family, disappeared an hour ago."
"And the driver I sent to take her was shot dead on the spot."
"I'm thinking this matter might have something to do with your son."
"Please contact your son to confirm the situation."
"Otherwise, I cannot guarantee what impact it might have on the Ji Family."
Boom—!
The Head of the Ji Family on the other end of the phone, hearing Lu Cheng's words, especially that blatant ultimatum at the end!
Felt a huge boom in his head, as if struck by lightning!
It's over, it's completely over!
This rebellious son!
I warned him a thousand times before not to provoke that jinx, Lu Cheng!
And not to touch that Song Zhiyi again. Since Lu Cheng liked her, just let him have her, she's just a woman!
As a result, he dared to escalate things even further?
The incident at the restaurant before caused such a stir, and now he's resorted to kidnapping?
Without even needing Lu Cheng, who in the entire Demon Capital wouldn't suspect him?
After hanging up the phone, the Head of the Ji Family immediately went crazy, frantically trying to contact his rebellious son, who didn't know what was good for him.
However, just as Lu Cheng had predicted,
Ji Bochang, in order to create a perfect alibi, hadn't brought his own phone at all at this moment. He was only communicating with the subordinates he had hired through encrypted radio.
No matter how many times the Head of the Ji Family called, almost breaking the phones at home, it was still like a stone sinking into the sea, with no news.
The Head of the Ji Family was utterly desperate!
He knew that Lu Cheng's call just now was not an inquiry or a question at all.
It was an ultimatum!
Facing such a situation, he dared not, and could not, have the slightest hesitation or hope, otherwise it would lead to unimaginable serious consequences.
Therefore, he immediately made a decision that would preserve the lives and property of hundreds of people in the Ji Family.
He again, with trembling hands, dialed Lu Cheng's number.
His voice was filled with a plea so humble it was in the dust!
"Young Master Lu! Please listen to my explanation!"
"All of this, it's truly that rebellious son, he acted on his own, blinded by greed, doing such a scoundrelly thing!"
"It absolutely, absolutely has nothing to do with our Ji Family!"
"Please rest assured! Young Master Lu!"
"I'm going to call the police right now! Yes, I'll call the police myself! I'll personally lead the police to arrest that lawless, insane rebellious son!"
"I will definitely give you, and Miss Song, the most, most satisfactory explanation!"
"And I beg you, please, for my sake, be lenient and spare our Ji Family this time."
