Chapter 763 - Helping Young Master Out

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Three consecutives gunshots killed three men.

Ming Zhi Yi handed the gun to the subordinate beside him. The subordinate handed him his treasured knife in return. 

Ming Zhi Yi was still covered by his son's blood and his killing intent did not diminish one bit. He killed the three men who returned after losing the cargo.

"These people don't deserve to live. They lost the cargo, and they even knew nothing about who took them." Ming Zhi Yi's eyes were cold. "Contact my people at the national bureau.. Tell them the last coordinates where these damned people lost the cargo. Have it tracked down as a priority. I want an answer within two hours."

"Yes, sir!"

The other subordinates took the bodies away.

Ming Zhi Yi looked up at the dark sky. 

In his perfect plan, he was supposed to be in the Lu Mansion killing everyone there right now. He should have brought down the four families to their knees by now. Those who were left either got killed or surrendered to him.

On his now bloodied hands, it was not supposed to be his elder son's blood, but that damn old man!

"It's supposed to be that way! Why does nothing go my way?" Ming Zhi Yi's eyes darkened. "Because of that damn Lu Jin!" 

He turned back and was about to return to the room to torture Lu Jin again, when Mr. Kang blocked his way.

Ming Zhi Yi's face was murderous. "Who are you to block me?"

Mr. Kang solemnly kneeled down on the floor. "Master, Young Master Lu Jin will die if he receives another round of torture."

Ming Zhi Yi's face did not change. "I will not let him die so easily. I'll make sure that he will last for another hundred more rounds!"

"Master, I beg you! I...I.."

Ming Zhi Yi swirled the knife on his fingers. He was about to throw it down to the other's head, when Mr. Kang suddenly prostrated with his head slamming hard on the ground. "Master, I, I think I know!"

Ming Zhi Yi's fingers halted.

Mr. Kang took his momentary silence as a chance to speak. "A f-few weeks ago, before Young Master Lu Jin took care of the matters in the underworld, he visited the Lu family's burial site."

"He visited that damn place?" Ming Zhi Yi's voice turned several degrees colder.

"Y-yes."

"So? He always visited that place."

"But the Young Master only visits it at special occasions, such as a week before the Madam's anniversary or Madame's birthday."

Killing intent surged above Mr. Kang's head, so palpable that it raised the hair on the back of his neck.

"So you are saying that he visited that place with the intention to meet someone, to leak information about me?"

Unable to answer, Mr. Kang silently prostrated on the ground. 

He did not fear for his life, but feared for his Young Master's life.

Ming Zhi Yi slowly put his knife over Mr. Kang's neck. A thin layer of blood oozed out. "If I find out that you are lying, I will cut off your arms and legs before killing you."

Mr. Kang firmly remained in position as silent acquiesce. His back was already soaked with cold sweat.

Ming Zhi Yi ordered his men. "Find out all of Lu Jin's traces in the past month. And someone goes to go to the burial site. I want you to check something there." He glanced at Mr. Kang. "Lock him up."

He then left. He needed to gather his core subordinates and make plans to counterattack that mysterious force. There might be an all out war soon.

....

In one of the dark prison cells, Mr. Kang was looking at the dark ceiling. He tried his best to prolong his master's life. However, what if his master had really left something there?

Then he could only die, and his master would soon follow too.

He wished that before he died, he could at least help his master escape this place.

Clang! A very faint clinking of metal sounded from the distance.

Mr. Kang looked in the direction where the sound came from.

The noise soon became louder. 

Mr. Kang's lifeless eyes slowly became grave. He straightened his back while his whole body tensed.

It was the sound of someone fighting silently. Because it was dark, he could not see it clearly.

Suddenly, a flash of bright light appeared on the dark hallway. Whoever was holding it walked towards his direction. Mr. Kang unbuckled his belt, pulled it out, and held it readily. This was the only weapon he could manage for now.

"Kang'ge?" A woman's voice sounded.

Mr. Kang's eyes widened when he recognized the voice. He grabbed the metal bars. 

"Xuyu*?"

Xuyu appeared with her flashlight. She sighed in relief.

"You are here. Thank god, you are still breathing."

"What are you doing here? You should have left while you still could!"

Xuyu opened the metal bar doors with a key. 

Mr. Kang: "Where did you get the keys?"

Xuyu hesitated for a moment then admitted the truth. "From the man up there. Sorry, Kang'ge, I can't just go on my own. Ever since the Young Master's betrayal was found out, a lot of us have gone missing. They are either tortured or killed." Her mouth was pursed stubbornly. "Anyway, I know my turn will come soon. So yours, too. Let's leave this place first before that happens."

If it was another time, Mr. Kang would definitely not follow Xuyu out. However, it had already come to this point. He should at least escape from this prison and look for his Young Master.

So he followed Xuyu out without hesitation.

But soon, Mr. Kang halted. "We can't leave right now. I need to save the Young Master first."

Xuyue frowned. "Young Master is already dead. No one can survive more than half a day from Master's tortures. You know how it goes."

"No, Young Master is definitely alive." Mr. Kang held this belief strongly. "But if we don't rescue him, he will be dead soon."

Xuyu looked at the escape route with complicated eyes. "But… It will take us a lot of time. Besides, there are many experts guarding him."

"I will distract them. Just focus on saving the Young Master."

Xuyu was torn. "It is a suicide mission."

"If you are that worried that you don't have to go with me. Instead, can you just prepare a car for us? I will deal with them while you get the Young Master out."

Xuyu was upset. "You will be killed before you get out, idiot!"

"I would rather die trying to get him out than live the rest of my life with regrets."

"Everyone lives with regrets!" Xuyu's eyes were red. "You are not the main character, idiot! You will just turn into cannon fodder for Young Master and Master!"

Mr. Kang was silent as he stared at Xuyu for a while. Suddenly, he pulled Xuyu into a hug. "Thank you for saving me." He then swiftly left noiselessly like the wind.

"Hey! You! I did not say I won't help!" Xuyu clenched her fists and ran after him.
