Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Night.
Qian Shui Building.
Level three of the underground carpark.
In the half-lit, half-dark spacious space, five people stood in front of a vent and waited patiently. They were one elderly and four youths.
In a dark corner a hundred meters away from them, Su Jingxing held his breath and stared at the vent without blinking.
Before the sky turned dark, Su Jingxing had come to the Qian Shui Building.
Shi Jinnian’s escape route, the exit of the underground passageway connected to the Shi Family’s residence, was this vent where the two groups of people were waiting.
The Ghost Python Breath-holding Technique was circulated to the extreme. Su Jingxing quietly entered the underground carpark and waited patiently.
During this process, cars drove in and out of the underground carpark.
Half an hour ago, two alighted and turned off the cameras in the corners of the ceiling.
15 minutes ago, the one elder and four youths arrived at the carpark and waited quietly in front of the vent.
This scene indicated that Shi Jinnian was about to appear.
Indeed.
Not long after, the cover of the vent shaft was pushed open from the inside.
A slender man crawled out.
He was expressionless. He first swept his gaze across the five people, then looked around to make sure that no one else was around.
Then he turned around and knocked on the ventilation duct three times.
Moments later, Shi Jinnian came out with five other people.
“Patriarch.”
When the five people who had been waiting saw him, they hurriedly took a few steps forward. The old man in a suit bowed and said, “Patriarch, all arrangements have been made. The car is over there.”
“Very good. Thank you, Old Cai.”
Shi Jinnian looked around and his gaze landed on the old man. He patted the old man’s shoulder and sighed. “I don’t know when I’ll be back after I leave.”
“No matter how long it takes, we’ll always wait for Patriarch to return.” Old Cai was a little sad, but his tone was firm.
The four others also shouted in unison.
“Alright, alright. With you guys around, I’m not worried at all.” Shi Jinnian patted Old Cai’s shoulder again and sighed. “Old Cai, I hope you don’t hate me.”
“Patriarch, if it weren’t for you, I would have lost my life long ago. Why would I hate you?” Old Cai said solemnly. “Although I can’t leave with you, staying behind and guarding this property for you is serving you all the same. Why would I feel hatred?”
“That’s good, that’s good.”
Shi Jinnian sighed. “It’s good that you don’t hate me. I have no other choice either.”
“Patriarch, please don’t be like this. I…”
Plkch!
With a strange sound, Old Cai’s words came to an abrupt halt.
His eyes widened as blood gushed out from the corner of his mouth. He looked down at his chest.
Over there, a sharp claw covered in true energy pierced through his chest and exited his back.
A heart-wrenching pain swept through his entire body. Finally, it gathered in his brain for shock, surprise, and confusion to emerge in his eyes.
Looking at the owner of the sharp claw, Shi Jinnian, his eyes were filled with disbelief.
He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, he lowered his head and died.
“Uncle Cai!”
“Ah!”
Shouts and screams then sounded and broke the silence.
It was too sudden.
Without any warning, Shi Jinnian suddenly struck and killed Old Cai, who had done his best for him.
The four men and women with Old Cai had never seen such a thing.
They were startled out of their wits at the first moment. When they snapped back to their senses, they screamed, wanting to escape.
However, before they could take a step, the people standing around Shi Jinnian made their moves.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
They were very fast, the short swords in their hands danced.
With a series of strange noises, the four men and women collapsed in pools of blood, dead.
“How ruthless!”
In a dark corner, Su Jingxing watched this scene with a slight smile.
In order to prevent future trouble, and leaking of the news, Shi Jinnian had silenced everyone.
This had the style of his father back then.
…
“I had no choice. Old Cai, don’t blame me.”
Shi Jinnian looked at the five corpses and sighed.
“Dad, stop talking to the dead. Let’s leave this place quickly,” a teenager urged.
“Go and get the car.”
Shi Jinnian nodded. As he spoke, he let go of Old Cai’s corpse and closed his eyes.
“Old Cai, rest in peace.”
“…”
The corners of Su Jingxing’s eyes twitched slightly.
Disdain welled up in his heart, but he didn’t reveal any of his aura. He hid in a corner and watched as Shi Jinnian and company boarded the two cars that Old Cai had prepared.
They left the underground carpark one after another.
Su Jingxing’s figure flashed. He went to extract the cards first, then quickly followed behind the cars.
When they were leaving the carpark, he heard Shi Jinnian’s instructions to call the crematorium to collect the corpses.
Then, the two cars headed south on the main road.
That’s right. They weren’t going to the suburbs but to the Southern District.
This was because the Shi Family’s last secret base was located on the south bank of the Sky Water River in the Southern District, under a small hill.
Su Jingxing followed closely behind, keeping a 100-meter distance.
Never near but never losing them.
Li Lilou, Yan Yuanfeng, Zhou Wencen, and the rest were probably still outside the Shi Family’s estate and would only take action in the morning.
Su Jingxing had already begun on his side.
He did not inform them because there were many valuable items in the Shi Family’s last secret base.
Su Jingxing had no interest in the Shi Family’s fixed assets.
However, Su Jingxing didn’t want to share certain things with others.
Half an hour later.
The two cars that Shi Jinnian and company rode crossed the Sky Water River Bridge and drove to the south bank.
After driving for another ten minutes, they arrived at the foot of a small mountain.
There was a scenic building at the foot of the mountain with many rooms inside.
The cars drove through a gate and stopped at a remote corner.
After alighting, they quickly turned into a small path and entered a house.
Someone was waiting in the house.
After Shi Jinnian and company entered, the other party immediately activated the mechanism and opened up a sealed wall.
Behind the wall was an underground tunnel that led down.
Shi Jinnian and company entered the passageway one after another.
After everyone was in, the people who kept guard outside closed the wall and returned everything to normal.
Su Jingxing witnessed the entire process.
He waited for about five minutes before he quietly entered the house.
Without the guards noticing, he knocked them out from behind.
Following which, he activated the mechanism as they had done and reopened the wall before entering the underground tunnel.
Soft lamps were installed on both sides of the passageway.
After Su Jingxing entered, the first thing he did was to find the switch and turn off the lights.
He knew that there were many surveillance cameras installed in the passageway.
With the lights on, how could Su Jingxing continue to hide?
His three secret abilities, Night Vision, Distant Vision and Advanced Hearing were activated at the same time.
Su Jingxing moved forward silently and quickly.
When he reached the exit, he kept an ear out for any sounds within a 100-meter range. After confirming that there was no one outside, he increased his speed to the fastest, flashed in and found the nearest underground room. He opened the half-open door and closed it gently.
The entire process took less than a second.
Su Jingxing only relaxed slightly when he was in the storeroom that was temporarily empty. He listened to all movements within a hundred meters.
He did not know if he was really lucky.
Just three minutes after Su Jingxing started to listen, an excited shout suddenly sounded…
