Beep, beep, beep.

The ear-piercing ringtone on his phone woke up Xu Taiping, who had just fallen asleep.

Xu Taiping looked at his watch and realized it was only three in the morning. He had been asleep for less than half an hour.

Xu Taiping looked at the phone beside him and saw that it was a call from Zhao Taiheng.

For some reason, Xu Taiping instinctively felt that something had happened.

He picked up his cell phone, picked up the receiver, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Second Bro is dead." Zhao Taiheng's deep voice came over the phone.

Xu Taiping froze, he couldn't remember who number two was.

However, it was at this moment that Xu Taiping suddenly remembered. Number two was Zhao Taixu, right?

Zhao Taixu was dead?

Xu Taiping felt a little confused. Plus, he had drank a lot of wine, so he thought he was dreaming.

"Am I dreaming?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Come back here for a moment." Zhao Taiheng on the other side of the phone said.

"Go back?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Zhao Family."

"Got it." Xu Taiping nodded, hung up, put his phone to the side and slapped his face.

When the slap landed on his face, Xu Taiping felt pain.

In other words, he wasn't dreaming.

Xu Taiping jumped up from the bed like a carp. He quickly put on his clothes and left the room.

Just as he walked out of his room, the door to the room next door opened.

"Xu Sang is going out?" Gong Ben Ying asked.

"Stay here and wait for me." After saying that, Xu Taiping walked out of the room.

Downstairs, Xu Taiping took a taxi and headed towards the Zhao Family.

Sitting in the car, Xu Taiping felt his hands tremble slightly. He didn't know how Zhao Taixu died, but according to Zhao Taiheng, he seemed to be dead.

The man who brought him into the world, was dead!

Xu Taiping felt that the night was especially dark.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at the Zhao Family's gate.

At this moment, the entire Zhao Family was brightly lit.

The parking lot outside the Zhao Family residence was already full of cars. Cars were coming in at the same time.

Xu Taiping was silent. He walked to the door and saw a group of Zhao Family members standing guard.

Xu Taiping was quite familiar with the Zhao Family, so he easily entered into the Zhao Family.

In the Zhao Family, many places were already decorated with white tape.

Xu Taiping's face was grim as he walked. Soon, he saw Zhao Xianglu, whose eyes had turned red.

"Peace." Zhao Xianglu walked up to Xu Taiping, opened his arms and hugged him. Then, he started to sob.

Towards this good friend of his that he had not seen for a long time, Xu Taiping did not show any sign of concern. He coldly asked, "Where are they?"

"It's inside. I'll take you there." Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, he turned around and led Xu Taiping into the depths of the Zhao Family.

Xu Taiping followed behind Zhao Xianglu. On the way, all the Zhao Family members looked gloomy, and many of them were emitting a faint killing intent.

Not long after, Xu Taiping arrived at the main hall of Old Zhao's house.

There were already many people gathered in the main hall, including Old Master Zhao, Zhao Taiheng, Zhao Taiji, and a few other heads of the Zhao Family.

Seeing Xu Taiping walk in, these people nodded at him with a serious expression, treating him as a form of greeting.

"What's going on?" Xu Taiping stood in the middle of the hall and asked expressionlessly.

"Someone installed it in Brother's car." On the way back, Second Brother blew up. " Zhao Taiheng said with a serious expression.

He could clearly see that Zhao Taiheng's eyes were slightly red, and his entire body was covered with a strong killing intent.

This was the first time such a scientist had shown his murderous intent in front of Xu Taiping.

"Is he really dead?" Xu Taiping still didn't seem to want to believe it.

"Dead." Zhao Taiheng said.

"Where's the body?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Shattered to pieces, we found some charred corpses. After DNA testing, we confirmed that they were from our second brother." Zhao Taiheng said.

Whoosh!

Xu Taiping let out a long breath. A boiling killing intent spread out from his body. Everyone in the surroundings felt this terrifying killing intent. This killing intent made them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave as their whole body turned cold.

"No matter the cost, we must definitely find out who it was. After all, it was who killed Taixu." Zhao Taiji gritted his teeth as he spoke.

Everyone looked towards Old Master Zhao, who was sitting at the very front.

Zhao Taixu was the second son of Old Master Zhao. If anyone were to talk about who was in the most pain, it would probably be Old Master Zhao.

Old Master Zhao sat in his seat with his eyes closed, his hands on his walking stick, not saying a word.

No one spoke, only looked at Old Man Zhao.

At this moment, Old Man Zhao slowly opened his eyes.

In Old Master Zhao's eyes, there was no sadness. There was only endless killing intent.

"Find the assailants. Find out all their relatives. Kill them all." Old Man Zhao said.

"Yes sir!" Everyone bowed in agreement.

"If you find any trace of the assailant, please let me know." Xu Taiping said.

"I will." Zhao Taiheng said.

Xu Taiping nodded and walked to the side.

The entire Zhao Family was filled with grief. Everyone who belonged to the Zhao Family started to move, searching for the culprit from every direction.

Tonight, the relevant intelligence agencies of the country were destined to stay up all night, because Zhao Taixu was not only a member of the Zhao Family but also the leader of the country's secret organization, Dragon Hunters. His death had a huge implications and it was very difficult to find his true assailant because he had offended a lot of people over the years and those who wanted to kill him could at least form a group.

Xu Taiping stood alone in a corner of the hall, watching everyone bustle around.

After experiencing the initial pain, Xu Taiping had already recovered a lot. Unlike Sun Jianyun, Xu Taiping had been mentally prepared for Zhao Taixu's death for a long time.

This mental preparation wasn't made by Xu Taiping himself, but was made for him by Zhao Taixu.

Zhao Taixu once told Xu Taiping that ever since he embarked on this path, he was destined to die a violent death in the future. Therefore, if Xu Taiping suddenly heard the news of his death, he must not be surprised, because this was fate.

As he grew older, he slowly began to understand more and more about these things, so in the end, he felt that what Zhao Taixu said made sense. Not only was Zhao Taixu the leader of the Blood Slaughter Temple, he was also the leader of the Dragon Hunting Squadron, and he also had many secret identities, making him a person who many people wanted to deal with. Even if Zhao Taixu was even more cautious, he might not be able to protect himself when facing so many enemies.

When Xu Taiping had just become an assassin, Zhao Taixu had told him that to walk on this path, both he and Xu Taiping had to be prepared to be killed at any time. Therefore, a qualified killer had to be merciless, and that didn't mean you had to mercilessly kill your enemies.

Therefore, Xu Taiping quickly calmed down because all of this was the old man's destiny.

Xu Taiping leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette for himself.

A lot of people came from the Zhao Family, some from the Zhao Family, some from other forces, and some from the government.

Zhao Taixu's death was a major event for the entire capital. Anyone with the ability to enter the Zhao Family had already arrived.

He thought that if Zhao Taixu was still alive, perhaps he would not like to see so many people around. Therefore, Xu Taiping left the main hall with the cigarette in his mouth, walking all the way to the outermost door, then stepping over the threshold into a crooked tree at the edge of the parking lot, squatting down and smoking one cigarette after another.

One by one, people walked into the Zhao Family, and from time to time, the sound of crying could be heard.

There were a lot of cigarette butts on the ground beside Xu Taiping. Xu Taiping finished the cigarette pack in no time, and at the same time, the sky far away was already starting to brighten up.

Xu Taiping threw the last cigarette butt on the ground. He was just about to go somewhere else to buy some cigarettes when he saw Zhao Xianglu walk out of the door. He walked over to Zhao Xianglu and squatted beside him.

"Brother Taikong's death was too pitiful." Zhao Xianglu said with red eyes.

"Death comes eventually." Xu Taiping said.

"If I find out who did it, I'll cut him into a thousand pieces!" Zhao Xianglu said.

"It's not your turn." Xu Taiping said lightly.

"Do you have cigarettes?" Zhao Xianglu asked.

"Just finished." Xu Taiping said.

"I do." Zhao Xianglu took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed them to Xu Taiping.

"Aren't you going to smoke?" Xu Taiping asked.

"I'll smoke." "But I don't know how to smoke."

"Then don't smoke." Xu Taiping took a cigarette out of his pack and said, "If you don't know how to use cigarettes, don't ever touch them."

"But I don't feel good." Zhao Xianglu said.

"If you're not feeling well, then go drink. It's good that you're drunk, but it's not suitable for drinking right now. Let's wait a bit longer. Drink after you're done with your work." Xu Taiping said.

"Then will you drink with me?" Zhao Xianglu asked.

"No, I'm leaving at daybreak. I bought a plane ticket home." Xu Taiping said.

"Go home? Isn't this your home? If brother Tai Shang dies, won't you send him off? " Zhao Xianglu asked.

"People will die, Old Z. doesn't like to have too many people, so there must be a lot of people sending him off. I better not go, lest he thinks it's too noisy." Xu Taiping said.

"You are heartless." Zhao Xianglu said in dissatisfaction.

"Yes." Xu Taiping nodded, but did not refute. Mobile users please browse and read, better reading experience.
