The Restless Spirit’s Father - Chapter 352

When the car moved, Chuan Nayi just finished porting her phone on the dashboard. She only held Liu Xiaodan’s phone and looked at him. “Did you do something?”

“Mr. Li is taking a helicopter somewhere. He bargained with Guangru about the lives of the agents.” Liu Xiaodan reached out to c.a.r.e.s.s her head. “Listen. Nayi, he wouldn’t have the courage to do that if he couldn’t produce Mom-in-law. She’s probably safe now… but Mr. Du and the rest aren’t. Let’s save those men first, and then we’ll look for Mr. Li who has Mom-in-law with him.”

“Okay.” Chuan Nayi nodded. She believed in Mr. Li’s decisions as well. Since it seemed that her mother was already found, then she should find her bargaining chip. Besides, since the others were calm, she decided to borrow their calmness and not think too much.

Her mother was omnipotent. Jiang Yanyu would be fine.

…

Pak! Pak! Pak! The loud sound of battering meat resounded in the warehouse. Even the other captives could only keep their mouths shut and watch as the man in a suit continuously hit two men with his golf club. One of the men was actually even trying to actively evade, while the other was just receiving the hits while laughing out. The laughs even had threats laced in them.

Wu Ran exhausted his arms and rage by hitting the two men with the golf club. Just last night, he was doing this to an old man while his son could only scream for mercy. He even managed to cut the neck with the blades. Right now, he was beating the son and a friend with it.

“Bitch, you hit like some underage girl that you’d rather hit than a grown woman.” Du Zhizhuo muttered in ridicule as if he was already bleeding. He was an ex-soldier who had been honorably discharged. The battlefield was already part of his life, so he was alright with being part of this private army. This kind of beating was nothing to the torture he was trained in.

“Shut up!” A person could only swing so much. Wu Ran was already exhausted, but he couldn’t even kill one.

That was when he looked down at the bleeding lunatic who was laughing at him. His cheek was already cut, and his blood was gushing down his face and to his knees. If this man wasn’t glaring at him, he wouldn’t even think that this man was even alive anymore.

Loud panting followed after Wu Ran decided to step back from them and leaned against the wall. He used the bloodied club as support and glared at the two figures who mocked him incessantly. His grip on the club intensified and even shook in anger. He picked up himself, took a deep breath, and decided to deliver one more swing at the lunatic. That should kill him.

“Master.” The leader of the babysitters walked to Wu Ran and grabbed his arm as if catching him as he wobbled from exhaustion. “We need to leave. We’re already discovered.”

“Discovered? There’s no way he would discover where we are!” Wu Ran growled and grabbed the soldier’s collar. “Did your men mess up? Is this the caliber of people that Big Brother relies on? You’re all just human-shaped shits, aren’t you?!”

The soldier didn’t care about his sentiments and quickly disarmed Wu Ran. In a swift movement, he twisted Wu Ran’s arm and made him drop the golf club. He carried the man who was still screaming from the pain of having his grip f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y broken. However, after propping Wu Ran on his shoulders, he saw a shadow from the entrance of the warehouse.

Moonlight was faint, but it was the only source of light seen from the outside. The small candles inside the warehouse could not compete with the light even. However, a figure stood in front, and it even looked like he was very nonchalant about walking in a guarded facility.

Wu Ran twitched. Shouldn’t the armed men of his big brother stop this man?

“Who are you?! What are you doing here?!” Wu Ran yelled as he tried to get off of the leader, but the leader only moved his rifle to shoot at the silhouette. He didn’t wait for Wu Ran or for the man to make another sound before firing at the figure.

“…you’re certainly dead now.” As if he knew what was going to happen next, Du Zhizhuo sighed in relief. “Finally, he came… I can’t believe it… but he’s here…”

The leader didn’t know what that meant, but he lacked the time to think. In a split second, he felt great pain in his body. When he looked down on his c.h.e.s.t and abdomen, blood started to blot through his shirt. Some also climbed up his throat. He choked and fell down, sending Wu Ran with him. In an instant, the leader died.

“What shit is this?! You’re useless!” Wu Ran pulled himself away from the dead leader. He picked up the golf club again and pointed it at the man who was walking towards them. “Stay away! You’re about to face the wrath of the Wu family if you take a step closer!”

“Oh? That’s so scary.” The man stopped walking nonetheless.

“Of course! Father will not let you off if you—” Wu Ran laughed out as he saw the man stop walking, but he couldn’t help but lose his voice when the man took steps closer again. In the faint light of the candles, he saw a rather young face in the dark.

His eyes were dark and still round, However, the light in them made one feel like they were staring at a body in the morgue. Even the freezing yet gravitating aura around him made Wu Ran unable to look away while feeling like he shouldn’t be staring. Aside from the man’s young face and cold eyes, nothing else was worth taking note of as if he was easy to forget.

However, his image stayed in one’s memory for a very long time instead.

Wu Ran, however, could recognize this man as much as everyone working in Breakthrough and the mercenaries who went on that mission. This man… was no one else but Liu Xiaodan!

“Don’t worry, Mr. Wu number 3. Your Wu family will pick you up as soon as possible.” Liu Xiaodan then looked around as his interest was pulled to that headless body. Even without a head, it was easy to tell who it was. He then waved his hand, and the Student King reformed behind him. This action made Wu Ran shriek like a mouse.

“Let me do something to return his kindness from before.”

Those were the words that came from Liu Xiaodan, but the Student King reached out to swallow Chairman Sun’s body wholly. Sun Yinxie could only watch; he was bound and weak to resist. However, his eyes glared at the scared Wu Ran who was just shaking while he crawled backward.

Then, Sun Yinxie’s eyes narrowed… as he felt the chains loosen.
