The Restless Spirit’s Father - Chapter 351
This Wu Ran looked nothing like a proper young master. He was rowdy and messy in a lot of places, but seeing that he did wear suits and leather shoes, one could simply say that he was already showing his best appearance. Well, what he thought should be fine. He was not neat to look at, but the arrogant and dangerous aura around him did warn people of his tendencies. He was from the Wu family, and he could get away with a lot of things.
Wu Ran was the middle child of the children of three. Their eldest brother, Wu Jiao, was a child from their mother’s teen years. He was a lot older than these two who were supposed to be the only legitimate children. However, every ally or enemy of the Wu family that this Wu Jiao was Wu Zhen’s son through and through.
Unlike his younger brother who only had a trash daughter, Wu Zhen knew that all of his children were better than Wu Zhong’s little miss. It’s just that they no idea that Wu Qianqian carried the Project Hades serum back then and even earned a spot in Li Heilong’s inner circle. Right now, they only saw her as their enemy and someone undeserving to be part of their Wu family. It wasn’t like Wu Qianqian wanted to be as well.
As for Liu Xiaodan, it was very different. Liu Xiaodan actually wanted to get rid of all of them so his would become the new Wu family. It didn’t matter if his father remained to carry the Liu family name, but perhaps the children would inherit all the riches that they were able to get as compensation.
Right now, those thoughts were not in Wu Ran’s mind. He could only think of beating up these more physically powerful men. His sister was a licensed pharmacologist, and yet she had underground work. Her handiwork remained to make Wu Ran the most powerful man in this place right now.
Bang! Wu Ran growled and took a step closer to kick Du Zhizhuo in the face as well. However, the man evaded and suddenly bit towards his leg. Even Sun Yinxie recovered strength in an instant when the other man screamed in pain. Wu Ran panicked like rabid dogs were on his leg. It was good that a guard came close nonchalantly and used his rifle’s b.u.t.t to hit the two men.
“Animals! Shoot them! Shoot them!” Wu Ran stepped back and kneeled down to console his leg. It was good that his trousers were thick enough to actually block the tearing their teeth could do.
However, the guard didn’t pay him, extra mind. These were Wu Jiao’s men—not his babysitters.
That was why Wu Ran moved back and looked around as if he remembered something. As he saw the item on the side of the wall, his maniacal smile showed without hesitation. He went to pick up the blood golf club and played with his grip on it. “I thought this club could only taste an old man’s skull. Heheh, guess I can test it on someone else instead. What do you think, huh?”
…
The phone continued to ring on the port on the car. Liu Xiaodan was calling Li Heilong as he drove to the place where Guangru could sense the other friends. Right now, he might have to work on other things while the location of Chuan Nayi’s mother was still not ascertained.
She lifted her eyes with hesitation. “Xiaodan, it is a warehouse somewhere in the storage houses. Do you think… Mom is… they found her?”
“If it really is her, then he would say so.” Liu Xiaodan glanced at the map that Chuan Nayi showed him. It… somewhat resembled the mental map that Guangru was sending him. It was as if the child and the tycoon were leading him to the same place. To be honest, Liu Xiaodan felt like Guangru knew what he would see there.
“Nayi, wait for a moment.” The magic one pulled over and closed his eyes. Before he could hear Chuan Nayi answered, he tried to tap into Guangru’s connections. He used to only do this with Li Feng who had a blood connection with him. Right now, he was able to do so with the rest who were shrouded by Guangru’s miasma.
In a few breaths, he was able to see from the eyes of a man who was getting on a helicopter. Armed men were around him, and one was very familiar. However, they were telling him about a warehouse situation.
“Leave Hades to deal with it. Contact the chief.” Li Heilong rode the helicopter and wore the headphones to properly communicate with the pilot. “Don’t act suspiciously.”
“Of course, Boss.” The pilot only laughed, but he knew why their boss said so.
“…Xiaodan.” Li Heilong called out the name, and he took a look at the black mirror of his phone as if he was facing a different person instead. “Time is of the essence. Is Guangru listening?”
The magic one was shocked. Li Heilong could tell that he was being possessed? Did Guangru possess him excessively that the tycoon was able to notice the feeling? Then again, Liu Xiaodan couldn’t answer. He could only try his best to send a message as if he didn’t know if Li Heilong was receiving it.
Silence ensued, and it did feel like Liu Xiaodan was failing. It’s just that Li Heilong was still looking as if expecting an answer. In the end, he just continued, “How much is one life? What about twenty?”
“…Dr. Wang’s friends are my friends. Mr. Li is also Big Brother Feng’s Daddy.” Liu Xiaodan heard Guangru’s child voice over the sound of the headphones as if the child was also wearing one and talking to them. At the corner of Li Heilong’s eye, the pilot shuddered. “But are my other friends free to dine?”
“Can Xiaodan make it look like they were shot instead?”
“Hehe, we’ll just fire the guns then.” The child then cheered as if he was a child excited to receive a drive-thru kids’ meal. “Yay! Yay! A feast! A buffet!”—the voice then morphed into a low howl—”Flesh and blood!”
Liu Xiaodan was automatically disconnected as the black car started on its own. Then, it entered the ghost state again and drove as fast as Guangru managed. The more he could salvage, the bigger was the probability of Li Heilong taking responsibility for the retaliation. As long as it wouldn’t be pinned on Liu Xiaodan, Guangru would devour whatever was in front of him.
At the back, even Bihan’s eyes were glinting. “Flesh and blood…”
