To Love You Again - zChapter 788

On the other side of the line, Jang Shin clenched the phone on his uninjured hand.

His left arm, his right leg, and his chest were bandaged. He was not in the position to move. However, Linfeng knew the anxiousness in Jang Shin’s heart. Despite his friend being injured, he still called him to let him know what he found. If he was in Jang Shin’s situation, Jang Shin would also do what he did.

Linfeng was right. Jang Shin would go no matter if he could move or not. When he remembered how he failed to get Tang Xinyang back in the hands of those men, Jang Shin felt like he had failed all of his ancestors and most importantly, Tang Xinyang.

Those men were skillful. Fighting four of them at the same time put him at a disadvantage. He had no choice but to watch those men take her. He dragged his bloodied body to go after them. Alast he fell unconscious. If the reinforcement team did not arrive, those people might have time to kill him.

Jang Shin’s eyes flashed with killing intent and determination, “I will go.”

“Alright. I know you are injured. When fighting comes, you have to stay aside.” Linfeng warned the injured man.

“Don’t worry. My right arm and other leg are still working. I won’t be a burden.”

Linfeng and Jang Shin discussed the plan. The two agreed to meet twenty minutes later after they round up their people. They had still had to wait for Gu Zhen to locate the right place and the fastest way to get there.

Linfeng mentioned this to Mistress Tang and the others. Mistress Tang thought back of the strange mountain that she and Old Lu was keeping an eye on. Coupled with Linfeng’s past investigation, this corresponds with Mistress Tang’s information. The search went a lot smoother with this newfound information.

While Linfeng and the others were preparing to venture into that particular mountain, the topic of their discussion- the mountain- was currently had many ongoing activities.

This nameless land was a private property of the Qians. Neither the government nor the previous branches of the Qian family were aware of its existence.

The land beneath the mountain, the mountain itself, and the huge mansion on top of it were only known to the heads and the heirs of the main Qian family. It was inherited way back before the government was fully stabilized in the country. Its history was deep as the four legendary families.

After the helicopter landed miles away from the mountain, multiple cars which were parked beforehand lighted up their engines. The group of cars drove all the way to the mountain, their destination was the mansion.

Since their master wanted this plan to be a hundred percent successful despite the loss, the experts prepared more than enough. They smoothly transferred their targets. It was ten minutes after Xiong Zhi entered the mansion that the rest arrived.

The experts carried their captives one by one and transferred them into a room. They never let the captives communicate with each other.

…

Xiong Zhi crawled to reach the door. The dust and dirt clung to her body. But she did not pay them any heed. She leaned towards the door and tried to listen. She could not hear Tang Xinyang’s voice. Nor what was happening outside. This room must be soundproof. She angrily bumped her head on the door. But when she felt the pain, she stopped.

No matter what kind of noise she made, Tang Xinyang in the other room won’t be able to hear it. She could also not vent her anger by harming herself.

Xiong Zhi doesn’t know how much time had passed. In darkness and still silence, she thought a lot. She blamed her own foolishness. She did not underestimate Ming Zhi Yi’s capability one bit, however, she underestimate his craziness.

When she cornered him and he disappeared from the world, she became complacent. Thinking that Linfeng and her people would find him any time. And even if he retaliated, what he could do when he already lost his organization?

She thought that with Gunan dead and Ming Zhi Yi disappearing from the world with no power left, she thought that everything would go on the right track. That she could finally have a peaceful life with Linfeng without any more life-threatening situations from Ming Zhi Yi.

But she was wrong.

When Lu Jin started missing, she should have raised her guard eminently. Because Lu Jin was their greatest trump card against Ming Zhi Yi. Xiong Zhi could not deny it, without Lu Jin, they were blind to Ming Zhi Yi’s movement.

Disappointment, Self-blame, Failure, and many negative thoughts swirled in Xiong Zhi’s head.

Suddenly she banged her head once again to the door.

Redness appeared on her forehead.

“Stop it, Xiong Zhi. Now’s not the time…”

Xiong Zhi threw away negative thoughts in the back of her mind. After a moment passed, her tight nerves loosened as fatigue and thirst overcame her. Since the door might open anytime, she crawled back to where she was before and took a rest.

She needed energy for what might happen later.

Finally, after an unknown time passed, the door opened.

“Hey Young Heiress, wake up.”

Xiong Zhi was blinded by the flashlight that was directed at her face. The voice calling her was unfamiliar. It was not the man who brought her into this room earlier.

“Oh, the young heiress looks dirty. Did you explore this room while crawling? Too bad I wasn’t able to watch it. Can you crawl more?’

“….”

“What? No response?”

“…”

“Tsk. The one beside your room would bare her fangs in anger whenever we tease her. I guess you are just boring.”

Xiong Zhi only wore her expressionless face.

The footsteps came near her. The man crouched down and touched her dirty face.

“Master won’t recognize you this way. Why don’t we clean you up and change into some nice clothes?” His fingers traced her beautiful cheek and jawline maliciously.

Xiong Zhi shuddered at the malice in the man’s voice. The coldness of his fingertips that was touching her skin made her flinch in disgust.

“Cut it out. Bring her now. Master will be there in a few minutes. He doesn’t like waiting.” There’s another voice coming from the door. It belongs to the man who brought her here.

Xiong Zhi was picked up by the malicious man. He deliberately felt her up while carrying her. This made Xiong Zhi frown. However, as their prisoner, she knew complaining would just make it worst. What she was focused on were the words they just said.

According to them, their Master had already arrived.

‘Ming Zhi Yi…is here?’

The two men brought her into the living room. Xiong Zhi secretly looked around. The enormous room had only experts standing at every corner. They looked at her with nasty expressions.

Xiong Zhi was ruthlessly thrown to the ground. She groaned. Her hips must have bruises right now. When she looked up, she saw the empty red couch a few meters away from her.

Where’s ming Zhi Yi?

“Ah..I forgot this.” The man who carried her took out a sack and put it into Xiong Zhi’s head.

Xiong Zhi’s vision was hindered. She then felt a hand on her breast feeling her up.

Xiong Zhi who was expressionless since earlier finally showed ruthless expression under the sack. If she ever got rescued, she would make sure this pervert’s hand was cut off.

The experts around her whistled and makes jokes. They want to touch her too while their master was not yet in the room. They line up to take turns. This made Xiong Zhi both angry and disgusted. But the anxiousness in her heart grew.

Fortunately, before the men in the room got to touch her, there was a loud commotion.

“Let me go! Don’t touch me! If you have guts then fight me!” Tang Xinyang’s voice sounded very loudly.

The staggering footsteps and the sound of something being dragged were coming in her direction.

It was Tang Xinyang!

“We already drugged her but she is still feisty as ever.” One of the experts who was dragging Tang Xinyang by her arm commented haggardly. “She is so troublesome. Many of our brothers died just to get this woman.”

“Just teach her a lesson or two. She would be obedient later.”

“Master said we can beat them if we want. Just be careful and leave her some breath before Master arrives. This bitch needs a beating.”

The surrounding experts discussed with each other.
