56: Chapter 55: Why are you here again?

Inside the luxurious mansion of the Zheng family, a solemn atmosphere pervaded at this moment.

Bloodstains had been cleaned up, but the stench of blood lingered persistently.

Even now, just thinking about last night’s events caused the Zheng family members to feel their hearts palpitate uncontrollably.

“No matter what, we must deal with him!

Otherwise, we will never have peace!”

“We also need to get those documents back.

The contents are lethal to us; I always said they should never have been written down.”

“Hmph!

Without those documents, how can you make people obey?”

“Han Corporation suddenly started to make moves against us this morning, and that is a sticky situation too.”

A crowd of people were discussing animatedly; the extravagant hall was as noisy as a vegetable market.

Seeing that everyone was only arguing without coming to any conclusion, the old patriarch of the Zheng family frowned deeply.

If they panicked like this, how could he expect them to uphold the family business?

Just as he was about to lose his patience and scold everyone…

“Dad, the people we’ve been waiting for have arrived!”

Zheng Qishi said excitedly, bending down to whisper in his ear.

‘Plum Wine Boiling’ was just a temporary solution, and the Zheng family wasn’t sure if she could successfully take down Chu Yi.

Therefore, they had simultaneously issued the mission to other professionals in the field.

A hefty bounty received an enthusiastic response; thirteen individuals immediately indicated they would depart at once and could arrive today.

Calculating the time, they should be arriving any moment now!

“Let them in!”

The old patriarch of the Zheng family said, trying to contain his excitement.

Thirteen experts against one man—surely that shouldn’t end in failure, right?

Zheng Qishi nodded and immediately went to invite the guests in.

Shortly thereafter, thirteen individuals walked in; the noisy crowd in the hall silenced, turning their attention towards the newcomers.

These thirteen exuded a strong presence, consisting of men and women, old and young, an elderly man with the aura of a sage, a harmless-looking teenager, provocatively dressed flamboyant women, and fierce-looking burly men…

Merely their presence made the Zheng family members feel as though they were witnessing Chu Yi lying in a pool of blood.

“That kid is done for!

With these thirteen in action, it’s a sure win!”

“How can you be so certain?”

“Don’t you know?

Not to mention the others, but do you know who that kid with the backpack is?”

“Who is it?”

“Wang Tao!

The name doesn’t sound remarkable, right?

But he is in the top ten on the domestic killers’ list!

Sixty-seven missions, with a ninety percent success rate!”

“What about the others?”

“Those who can compete with Wang Tao must have some skills.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have made it here alive.

I even suspect that all of them could be in the top ten on the killer list!”

Knowing that these people were so highly capable, the Zheng family members couldn’t help but get excited.

Isn’t this settled then?

With these thirteen acting together, who could escape?

At that moment, the old patriarch of the Zheng family slowly stood up, looking down at the thirteen individuals: “I presume you all know the details of this mission already, don’t you?”

“We know, to kill a big brother and take back some stuff for your family, right?” Wang Tao asked with a harmless smile: “You all better keep your word.

The bounty is fifty-one million now.”

The old patriarch of the Zheng family slowly nodded: “Rest assured, our Zheng family has always kept our promises in these matters.

After all, if we break our word, no one will do the dirty work for us in the future.”

“That will work, your Zheng family has a good reputation.”

The sage-like old man stroked his beard: “Tell us, what are the conditions for completion?

Do you need the body or just photos and videos?”

“We need the body!

It must be identifiable; moreover, if you can capture him alive, we will add an extra fifty million!”

The Zheng family’s patriarch said with utmost assurance, and the eyes of the thirteen people listening lit up.

The Zheng family was truly sparing no expense.

Five hundred and sixty million, completing this job whether to retire or to live in leisure for a few years, would be more than enough!

“Good, it’s settled then!”

The thirteen people, containing their excitement, said and then exchanged glances.

With so much money at stake, nobody wanted to share with anyone else.

From now on, the people around them were all competitors!

And as for competitors…

a dead competitor is a good competitor!

The members of the Zheng family, seeing the way they looked at each other, not only did not dissuade them but watched with great interest instead.

Just as they were filled with anticipation, hoping to witness a bout of mutual annihilation, a somewhat frivolous whistle sounded.

“Wow, quite the full house.”

Everyone was taken aback and turned toward the direction of the sound.

The same spot, the same posture.

Chu Yi sat on the second floor railing, swinging his legs back and forth, holding a delicate fruit platter pilfered from the kitchen, eating merrily as he intently watched the scene below.

“You…

how did you come back!”

The members of the Zheng family were taken aback, some even felt the urge to turn and flee the place.

The bloodbath from the previous night, with corpses everywhere, had truly terrified many.

Amid the commotion, only the Zheng family’s patriarch and the thirteen people remained confident, even wearing a hint of a sneer.

“Everyone calm down!

Stop embarrassing yourselves!”

The old patriarch of the Zheng family bellowed, quelling the disturbance, and then he looked up at Chu Yi.

“You actually dare to come here, thinking the Zheng family is an easy target?!”

Chu Yi tilted his head and looked at him for two seconds, casually picked out a bright red little lion from the fruit plate, tossed it into his mouth, and bit down.

The crisp and sweet juice immediately burst forth.

“Not bad, this soft persimmon is quite tasty.”

At these words, the members of the Zheng family immediately became furious.

If it were last night, they would have been angry but dared not speak, but now, seeing the silhouettes of those thirteen famous figures, they felt emboldened.

“Still being arrogant?

Just wait and see how you die!”

“Too conceited, if I can capture you alive, I will let you know what it’s like to beg for life and not be able to beg for death!”

“Screw you, you’re going to die a horrible death in a moment!”

Chu Yi raised an eyebrow, suddenly took a fruit knife from the platter, and tossed it with a flick of his hand.

Thwack!

The person who had just mentioned ‘mother’ suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief, reached for his neck, and found the fruit knife had buried itself into his throat.

Hot blood gushed out like water from a high-pressure hose’s rupture, splattering all over the people nearby.

“Heh heh…”

His mouth opened and closed, he thudded to his knees on the floor, reaching out to those around him, only to see faces filled with horror, everyone avoiding him as if he were the plague.

Thud!

Finally, his upper body slumped to one side, and he convulsed as he fell to the ground.

The hall fell silent, some people’s mouths hung open, but they couldn’t make any sound, while others reflexively moved backward, afraid that they might be next.

Just as everyone was seized with panic, Chu Yi smiled at them.

“Let’s all speak nicely, live harmoniously, and mind our language!”
