Chapter 525: Chapter 525 I Want Your Life_1

Zong Wangyue spoke breathlessly, and there was a sense of urgency and irritability in his words.

"Don’t panic, tell me what happened?"

"Glasses, Little Kai, Black Bull, me, and our Detective Agency’s people have all been captured!"

"What!?"

He suddenly rose to his feet, an aura immediately burst forth from him, one that astonished his mother beside him.

"Then Little Yun..."

"Oh, Goddess Wu and Miss Lin are fine, it seems the other side doesn’t dare to challenge her yet; they’ve just captured the rest of our club members!"

"Wait, you’ve been taken too, where are you?"

"He’s in my hands!"

This was the voice of a stranger man!

"Who are you?" He tried to control the emotions that could erupt at any moment, and he asked in a deep voice.

"Who I am is not important. What’s important is that I have your friends in my grasp, and their lives hinge on a single word from me!"

"What do you want?"

"I want your life!" The other party was also ruthless, speaking through gritted teeth, as if he wished he could tear you to pieces right then and there.

With a frown, you coldly spat out three words: "Hong Ruinian."

"That’s right, it’s me!" Hong Ruinian said with a cold laugh, "Li Muyun, I’m giving you half an hour. You must get to the northwest granary of Zhao Family Village, West City within half an hour, or else go look for them in the Underworld!"

The other side hung up the phone, and you took a deep breath, then turned to your mother and said, "Mom, I leave Zhao’er in your care."

"Hmm, be quick and come back soon. Deal with those bastards as you see fit, no matter how harsh. If there really is trouble, Mom’s here!"

Your mother’s head was held high with pride.

Inciting her son to fight, having such a mother was really something.

After you went downstairs, your mother turned her head slightly and spoke to the empty space beside her, "See that? Sometimes trouble comes looking for you even when you don’t go looking for it. Simply avoiding it only makes the other side more arrogant, so the only option is to fight fire with fire!"

After a moment, she rolled her eyes and said, "Tsch! Your nonsense theories don’t work on me! In the end, I’ll teach my son the way I want, and you can’t interfere! Humph, even if you wanted to, you wouldn’t dare!"

From an observer’s perspective, your mother seemed to be talking to herself, but her tone sounded as if she was addressing someone sitting beside her, truly baffling.

This time, you chose to drive to Zhao Family Village.

Half an hour’s time was neither too long nor too short, just right.

As you drove into Zhao Family Village, preparing to ask someone for directions, a young man wearing glasses suddenly rushed out from an alley beside you and hastily stopped your car.

"Chairman Li, finally, I’ve waited for you!"

The young man was visibly nervous, his anxiety mixed with a hint of excitement.

After looking at the young man steadily, you suddenly felt he was familiar, and you couldn’t help but ask, "You are...?"

"My name is Lei Jianhua, we’ve met before!"

"Oh! I remember now, you’re the guy who has a crush on Wenwen."

Lei Jianhua’s little schemes were called out by you, and he instantly blushed.

"Hey, big guy, what’s there to blush about!" you asked him, "What are you doing here? Don’t tell me you’re tracking those people?"

"Yep! I know where they’re keeping the members of the Detective Agency!"

"Great! Get in the car!"

Once Lei Jianhua got in the car, he said something that made you want to hit him: "Ten minutes ago, I just called the police. By my calculations, they should be arriving soon."

"What’s the use of calling the police? These people have deep connections. Even if the regular cops show up, they can only hang around and twiddle their thumbs!"

Lei Jianhua pushed up his glasses, looking at you seriously: "Chairman Li, although I don’t have much ability and come from a poor background, I’m not stupid. I know you have a close relationship with Captain Xian of the criminal police, so I called her. I was worried you might not be able to get here in time, so I hoped for an extra layer of security. After all, Captain Xian has a strong background, and out of respect for you, she will definitely help."

Turning your head, you looked at Lei Jianhua seriously and carefully, then slapped his shoulder and said, "Kid, you’ve got guts! When this is over, I’ll play matchmaker for you and make sure you win Wenwen’s heart!"

Lei Jianhua blushed again, goddammit.

According to Lei Jianhua, Zhao Family Village was part of a designated planning area, and all the villagers had already moved out. The property developer responsible for the project was a group controlled by the Liu Family, so they were pretty much fighting on home turf.

Considering that those reckless mercenaries would also be there, you stopped the car a few dozen meters away from the granary and said to Lei Jianhua, "Wait for me in the car."

"No, I want to go in with you!" Lei Jianhua said determinedly.

"Tsk, wouldn’t you just get in my way? Don’t worry, I’ll bring Wenwen out safe and sound."

Lei Jianhua thought for a moment, then nodded.

When you were about to open the door, Lei Jianhua seemed to remember something and suddenly spoke up, "Oh, right! They have an old Parker Pen. Anything written with that pen on paper becomes reality!"

Startled, you suddenly realized, "So it was you who made me leave the classroom like a lunatic that day?"

"Yep!" Lei Jianhua nodded earnestly, "Sorry, at that time I..."

"It’s okay. If our roles had been reversed, I probably would have made you strip down and dance the elephant dance on the podium while bird-walking."

Just thinking about Crayon Shin-chan doing the elephant dance gave Lei Jianhua the chills.

"By the way, where did you find that pen?"

"Outside No. 72, Baojia Street."

"What?" You were taken aback, finally understanding that Yan Xin, the one who fled, was actually hiding inside the Parker Pen!

Frowning, you said to Lei Jianhua, "Wait for me in the car. If that crazy woman, Xian Qianling, arrives, tell her not to come in just yet, just surround the place first."

"Yep." Lei Jianhua nodded earnestly.

The granary at Zhao Family Village was quite large, looking like a factory warehouse. Unlike reinforced concrete, the top layer of the granary was stacked with grey tiles, and the granary itself was built with cement mixed with bricks, with an additional layer of mud plastered on the outside walls.

You walked slowly toward the granary. It seemed very calm on the surface, with not a single person at the entrance, and no snipers in sight either.

When you were less than ten meters from the granary, the Sen Luo Curse Mark in your pupils slowly emerged and started spinning rapidly.

Your vision pierced through the walls of the granary, but inside it was pitch black.

The darkness was eerie, just like what you’d seen at Ruan Yuling’s Building before—inked over, juiced, completely opaque.

"Bang!"

You stepped forward and kicked the granary door flying!
