Chapter 142 - The Destruction

"Boss, this is the investigation result."

Long Ying looked at the result at the side and nodded. He had already eliminated several people from the list that Xiao Lin gave him not long ago. The Capital City was slowly but surely experiencing changes.

San Xia looked at Long Ying with hesitation. After mulling for several seconds, she braved herself. "Boss, you're not going to eliminate the entire Xiao Family, right?"

She didn't know the result of the examination report because Long Ying had already burned it down. However, she could guess that the result was anything but good. The dark cloud looming over the couple for the past few hours was already giving her confirmation. 

They were also not stupid enough to ask for the result and only asked whether Long Ying wanted to eliminate the entire Xiao Family.

Even if they were part of Long Family, Dragon Clan was not exactly a match against Xiao Family. The Xiao Family was so powerful that if they wanted to eliminate it, they also risked getting destroyed in the end.

This was the reason why San Xia was worried with Long Ying's decision.

"No."

Long Ying took out a cigarette and slowly lit it up. His silver eyes flashed with a brutal glint. 

He didn't want to bring the entire Dragon Clan down with him should he challenge the entire Xiao Family. Besides, he only found out that Xiao Lin was also making her move, thus it would only be detrimental for his friend if he destroyed the entire Xiao Family.

Besides, Xiao Lin genuinely didn't know about this matter. it was not like he could push the blame to the Xiao Family because he knew that it was his father who made the mess. It was already that b*stard hobby to create enemies out of the blue just to expand Long Family influence.

If not because of Dragon Clan, he was sure that Long Family would have long been done for.

"Have you found their headquarters?" Long Ying asked in low tone.

"Yes, from the list that Miss Xiao had given to us, we used it to locate the rest of their members and also to figure out the location of their headquarters. Would you like to head over there right now, Boss?" An Luo was ready to head there too.

"You stay here to protect those two."

"Boss, I'm already healthy!" An Lin protested. He didn't really want to trouble his older brother to protect him.

"You? Even a gust of wind will be able to knock you down."

"What the hell? That's not possible!"

"Just stay there quietly and recuperate." San Xia snorted. She pushed An Lin's forehead to prevent him from standing up from the bed. It was not like he was not allowed to stand up, but it would be better for him to continue to rest.

An Luo looked at his younger brother. "If you continue to mess around, don't blame me for tying you up to the bed."

An Lin was speechless.

Alright, he was an adopted child and his older brother didn't care for him. To think that An Luo would even want to tie him up just to make sure that he didn't run away.

Long Ying puffed out the smoke. "Let's go."

"Yes, Boss!"

That night, the entire branch of Xiao Family was crushed until they were flat with the ground. It was also the first time Lan Huo and San Xia saw Long Ying being so angry. No one was spared and those who had any involvement were all dug out and sent to Long Ying.

No one ended well.

The Capital City was still calm without much news. However, the brutal event that had occurred there told everyone for sure that they wouldn't be able to end well.

It was a sleepless night for some of them.

"You really razed everything to the ground?" Han Kuai asked in leisure tone. He had asked for some time leave, or to be exact, he sneaked out to be able to participate in this matter.

It was rare for Long Ying to request for him to make explosive on the spot by using the chemicals. He had long wanted to blow up things, so this was a rare chance for him to do so. Even if he ended up getting some punishment, it was not like they would kill him for this.

This branch was already on the list of people they were planning to uproot.

"Should I let them off?" Long Ying asked, smoking a cigarette.

His visage as he watched everything looked detached and cold, as if nothing that occurred here was connected to him. His nonchalant attitude could easily irk anyone who saw him.

Han Kuai shook his head. "You know that you can settle this in a much quieter manner."

"That's not my style."

"And your father wouldn't be happy when he heard that you're using Dragon Clan's resources to enact revenge."

"He's the one who start it, so they're his enemies too." Long Ying was not worried. "Also, I only used a portion plus some others."

Some others…

Han Kuai was speechless as he turned to look at the side. Well, it was not his business either. He only came here in order to deal with the explosive and caused a huge scene. The others didn't matter that much to him.

From a small group of people at the side, Zhang Liang walked towards Long Ying. For this operation, Zhang Liang sneaked out to help Long Ying. Of course, he did this covertly.

"Ying, if Yu Yan has already woken up, let Mian'er come to the hospital tomorrow to visit her."

Long Ying arched his eyebrows. "Do you really think that I'll let you meet her?"

"I'm not the one coming." Zhang Liang scoffed. He had no interest to visit Yu Yan either. The one who wanted to come was Feng Mian. "Feng Mian wants to know Yu Yan's condition. She only managed to message Yu Yan yesterday and had been worried sick since then."

Han Kuai passed a look at Long Ying. Knowing this man, Han Kuai was sure that he was reluctant to let anyone get close to his wife. Because of that, Feng Mian was not able to meet Yu Yan yet.

"Fine."

"Alright, I'll tell my wife this morning."

Long Ying nodded. He patted Zhang Liang's shoulder. "Thank you for coming."

"Heh, stop with formalities." Zhang Liang turned around and waved his hand. "If you ever need more help, you can just call me. I might be busy most of the time but I can still spare some time to help my friends."

Long Ying scoffed when he heard what Zhang Liang said. 

Friend.

If not because of his meeting with Zhang Liang in that place, there was no way he would be acquaintance with the others. It was also thanks to that very meeting that he managed to know a group of scary people.

"Kuai, how long do you have your vacation this time?"

"Hmm?" Han Kuai was playing with several bottles in his hand. It was unknown when he took them out and began to experiment while he was walking. "Just a few more hours. Why? Don't tell me that you miss me so much and unwilling to let me go back?"

Long Ying didn't respond to the man's teasing. "Help me make a few more explosives. I might need it."

"Alright, shall I prepare the timer for you too?"

"If you can make it quick, yes."

"It's easy~. Oh, help me get some new cigarette. The one they provided me is trash."

"Heh, sure."

…

The next morning, Yu Yan didn't manage to find Long Ying since the man hadn't returned back yet. Instead, she got good news of Feng Mian coming to visit her.

"Huaaa, I'm so glad that you're fine!"

Yu Yan was speechless. She hugged Feng Mian back. "I'm fine now, right? You don't have to worry so much."

"What do you mean don't worry, ah? If I know that this will happen, I'll surely not take you out for a meal. We can always do it another time." Feng Mian pursed her lips.

Yu Yan smiled and shook her head. Even if it was another time, she had the inkling that those people would still come to look for her. If their target was the Long Family, she was indeed a prime target.

"Don't worry about that. How about you? Did you get hurt?"

"Oh, just some scratch and mostly already heal. Tell me what happened back then!"

"Yes, I…"

At the door, An Luo was listening to the conversation of the two ladies inside. It was not like he wanted to eavesdrop but his martial arts allowed him to listen in even from a distance.

While Yu Yan was still not as cheerful as before, it was much better when she was in front of Feng Mian. It seemed that she really does need someone to stay and listen in to what she wanted to say.
