Nightfall!
In an apartnt located in the city center of East Sea City, Zhu Hong stood on the balcony, gazing into the colorful nightscape in the distance, a cigarette already halfway burned in his hand.
"Disciple, what are you thinking about?" At this mont, Chen Quan walked up from behind, leaning on the balcony railing, and asked.
"Master." Zhu Hong threw down the half-burned cigarette and said, "I’m thinking about the way forward. To be honest, I didn’t expect Ling Chen to be so cunning, setting up a trap to lure Lin Guodong in. Now, Lin Guodong has been captured, Ji Gang is missing, and the remaining forces of the God Organization in East Sea City have been driven out. Now, Ling Chen has firmly controlled East Sea City. With this experience, he will definitely strengthen his control over East Sea City, which is very disadvantageous for us."
After listening to Zhu Hong’s words, Chen Quan squinted his eyes, revealing a sharp look and said, "Disciple, let ask you a question."
"Please go ahead, Master."
"What is it that you seek?" Chen Quan looked straight into Zhu Hong’s eyes, saying slowly, "Everyone has their own pursuits. You’ve given so much; surely there is sothing you want to obtain. Tell , what do you want?"
Hearing this, Zhu Hong unconsciously clenched his fists. After a mont of silence, he slowly began, "What I wanted before was simple, the sa as all ordinary people: career and love. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned, and even sothing so simple I couldn’t obtain. In the end, I was left neither human nor ghost, having to wear this mask to face people. Master, you can’t understand the feeling of being disfigured. Looking like this now, I can’t be called a human, no woman would dare to look at , even if I were rich. So now, I don’t seek won or wealth, but power. Only power can give everything. Besides, I want revenge. Whoever ruined , I will pay them back tenfold, a hundredfold." As he finished, Zhu Hong almost spoke through gritted teeth.
"Your enemy is Ling Chen?"
"Yes, it’s him!"
Chen Quan nodded and said, "I’ve seen Ling Chen and dealt with him. He’s not so remarkable, apart from being better in kung fu, he doesn’t have many other advantages. Disciple, I’m well aware of your abilities. I’ve been confined in the Heavenly chanism Pavilion for too long, and I don’t understand many things outside, so I can only rely on you to help . Trust your Master, as long as you follow , those pursuits of yours will eventually beco reality. However, before that, we must stabilize and can’t be running around like this. Do you understand what I an?"
"Master, rest assured, I am already planning. If everything goes smoothly, there will be news soon."
"Good, then I’ll wait for your good news."
As he spoke, Chu Huaiyang quickly walked over from inside the house.
"Zhu Hong."
"Looking for for sothing?"
Chu Huaiyang glanced at Chen Quan beside him and said, "Our people just intercepted a piece of information from the police, related to your sister."
"Xiaozhu?" Zhu Hong frowned slightly and said, "What’s happened to her?"
"The police have just filed a case; your sister has been missing for forty-eight hours. The reporter is her student at the hospital, and according to those students’ testimonies, they think your sister might have been kidnapped."
"Are you sure?" Zhu Hong said coldly, "Who dares to kidnap my sister?"
"I’m not sure."
"Disciple." Chen Quan said from the side, "Since it’s about your sister, you should pay attention to it. Go on, we don’t have much to do these days, handle your sister’s situation well, then we can proceed with the next step at ease."
"Yes, Master."
Returning from the balcony to the room, Zhu Hong took out his phone and dialed a number directly.
Not long after, the call connected, and a deep male voice ca through on the other end, "Hello! Who’s this?"
"Dad, it’s ."
"Hong?" Hearing Zhu Hong’s response, the voice imdiately grew excited, "Hong, where are you? Do you know your sister’s in trouble."
"Dad, don’t worry, I just got the news." After a pause, Zhu Hong asked, "Dad, what’s going on with my sister? Our family hasn’t made enemies with anyone, who would kidnap her?"
"Those people weren’t after us, they were after you. Two hours ago, I got a call from the kidnappers asking if I knew your whereabouts and told to turn you in. You didn’t leave any contact information, and I couldn’t find you even if I wanted to. Luckily, you called back; otherwise, I really wouldn’t know what to do."
"After ?" Zhu Hong said solemnly, "Did the kidnappers reveal their identity?"
"No. But they gave a contact; tomorrow evening at seven, at the intersection of Wangbei Street and Datong Street in East Sea City, there’s a phone booth there, they want you to wait for a call there. Hong, no matter what you’ve done outside, your sister is innocent, you must save her."
"Dad, don’t worry, I won’t let little sister be in danger."
After hanging up the phone, Zhu Hong narrowed his eyes and muttered, "Who wants to go against ?"
"Could it be Ling Chen?" Chu Huaiyang speculated from the side.
"Impossible. I know Ling Chen’s character well; even if he wanted to force to appear, he wouldn’t use such lowly ans. Besides, he has a very special relationship with my sister, he would never do this to her."
"If it’s not Ling Chen, then who could it be?"
"It’s unclear for now. However, no matter who kidnapped my sister, I won’t let them off easily."
"I didn’t expect you to care about your sister so much; I thought you’d given up on family ties."
Zhu Hong glanced at Chu Huaiyang and said blandly, "I won’t go back to the Zhu Family, but soone has to be there for my parents when they’re old, so my sister must not be hard."
...
The next day.
Around six fifty in the evening, Zhu Hong and Chu Huaiyang drove to the designated location. At the intersection of the two streets, there indeed was a public phone booth.
Checking the ti, Zhu Hong greeted Chu Huaiyang and went alone into the phone booth to wait for the call.
Ten minutes passed, and the phone in the booth rang right on ti.
Picking up the handset, Zhu Hong calmly said, "This is Zhu Hong, who is this?"
"You finally showed up." A voice processed through a voice changer ca from the other end of the phone.
"Zhu Hong, if you want to save your sister, be at the place I tell you in an hour. Rember, you must co alone. If you report to the police or bring others, then get ready to collect your sister’s body." After giving the address, the person on the other end imdiately hung up.
One hour... Zhu Hong looked at the ti on the phone screen, turned around back to the car, and said to Chu Huaiyang, "You go back first."
