Two-faced: Doting Husband & Shameless Wife - Chapter 124

“What can I say? Maybe you’re too old to think anymore.”

Guo Zeng’s wrinkled face winced. “Really…?”

When Xi Jian found out the plate was referring to the military. He immediately called Ling Yujin. Compared to his grandfather, Ling Yujin was clearly still very close to the top military officers. He asked for his help in accessing all classified data relating to people who were considered dead by the military. With Ling Tian now still active in the military, Xi Jian freely sought the information he wanted.

Back at that time, Xi Jian only relied on his source and Ling Feng to dig up information that was obviously not bearing fruit. He did not want to ask for help from others. He sure could do everything alone. But this time, Xi Jian used every means to find his wife, finding Ling Yue. He did not care about having to lower his ego or self-esteem and ask anyone who comes to mind. He did not know what he would do if Xi Jian could no longer see Ling Yue.

Then later, as if God opened the way, he accidentally discovered that the dead people were actually the people who made him almost rȧpėd Ling Yue during the incident. He continued to dig until finally all the evidence led to the supreme commander of City M, Guo Zeng.

No wonder at that time he did not find anything if this person was behind it. Xi Jian only knew this man was a junior of his grandfathe and Guo’s grandchild had done business with him several times.

A question always crossed his mind years ago. What is the biggest possibility of two young men and women being manipulated like that? What’s their motive?

And now…after seeing it firsthand, Xi Jian concluded one thing.

Revenge.

To the elders.

Suddenly Xi Jian let out a cold laugh. “How ridiculous.”

Guo Zeng raised his white eyebrows, asking silently.

“Your revenge is ridiculous.” Xi Jian mocked him.

A strange smile graced Guo Zeng’s old face.

“This is my advice for you, if you want revenge, use your own body instead of using someone else. At least I don’t feel guilty if I have to kill you myself.”

Suddenly there was a noise and gunfire outside the door. Gan Ji pressed his body behind Xi Jian, trying to protect him if the person who appeared behind the door was an enemy. Xi Jian was on standby.

“You think I’m stupid?” Guo Zeng asked. “Aren’t you underestimating this old man?”

The door burst open. People in plain clothes come inside. Obviously they are not from the military. They aimed their guns at Xi Jian’s flock and shot them. Xi Jian, Gan Ji and several others took cover and shot back. Xi Jian kicked a chair not far from him as a distraction and returned fire before throwing his body at Guo Zeng’s ȧssistant who was blocking him for his master’s escape.

“Damn it! Master, you must get out of here!”

Xi Jian was so focused on Guo Zeng that he did not see the ȧssistant launch a kick at Xi Jian’s gun which aimed at Guo Zeng until it apart from his hand.

“Don’t get in my way, son of a bitch!”

“Boss! I’ll handle it, you go!”

Gan Ji came to help. Xi Jian pushed Guo Zeng’s ȧssistant and chased after the old man before he reached the exit. Guo Zeng grinned at unarmed Xi Jian.

“It’s a pity you are always able to get out of my trap.”

Xi Jian immediately took cover when the old man fired his pistol.

“You and that Ling family are really annoying! Like a ċȯċkroach that is very difficult to die. You’re right! I should have killed those two myself before turning to their offspring.”

Xi Jian continued to dodge his shot. “Why are you so obsessed with our family?!” He tried to buy time until his bullets ran out while he scanned the surroundings.

“Just because you have money you can do whatever you want? Ha! That stupid Xi Zihao keeps using his money to get promoted. And Ling Yujin! A person who upholds justice becomes his accomplices aaarrgghhh …”

The gunfire stopped, followed by some noise. Xi Jian kicked his arm and set him apart from his gun.

“It’s better to repent your sin in hell!”

Xi Jian picked up his gun and aimed it at Guo Zeng’s face. Faced with death in plain sight, Guo Zeng chuckled.

“I hope I will reborn and kill all of you.” He spat his word as if it was his last remark.

“Before you are reborn, let me torture you first.”

A sound that was no less old breaks through the noise in the room. Xi Zihao and Ling Yujin came with their people and surrounded that place.
