Chapter 455: Chapter 454: Utterly Astonished

Lu Xun also brought back a map, which was the location where the International Black Alliance imprisoned Xue Ying’s parents.

Luo Ning glanced at the map, "Xue Ying seems to lack cunning, but he’s actually quite clever."

She now understood that Xue Ying pretended to comply with the International Black Alliance to lure her. He always behaved cautiously in her presence, not wanting her to resent him.

He must have also noticed her relationship with Lu Xun, which is why he took the risk this time.

Xue Ying realized that to resolve the Xue Family’s predicament, he needed not only her help but also Lu Xun’s.

After rescuing Xue’s parents, they would need Lu Xun’s arrangements to send them back to Huaxia.

Otherwise, they could be captured again the day after being saved.

Lu Xun had also thought of this, "That’s why he is Chairman Xue’s most favored son and actually the most far-sighted."

Only by returning to Huaxia could the Xue Family get the protection to ensure their family’s safety.

The two then discussed the rescue plan.

Lu Xun contacted International Mercenaries to carry out the mission openly, while Luo Ning would secretly handle the rescue, and she was the main force.

Having finalized their plan, the two acted that very night.

Lu Xun contacted the International Mercenaries and also brought personnel from the special department’s foreign branch to approach the location.

Luo Ning, meanwhile, evaded surveillance outside her hotel and drove alone to the destination.

Xue Ying’s parents were held in a suburb, inside an abandoned building.

Upon arrival, Luo Ning noticed that the building was set with an Array.

She didn’t break the Array but bypassed its traps. Using an evil spirit, she tampered with the surveillance before sneaking inside.

She successfully found the room where Xue Ying’s parents were imprisoned.

Several burly men sat outside the room, drinking and playing cards, each armed with a gun.

Luo Ning made no move, staying hidden in the shadows, waiting.

About ten minutes passed when gunfire erupted outside.

The men immediately dropped their cards, grabbed their guns, and rushed downstairs.

Luo Ning used the evil spirit again to disable the surveillance here, then approached the room’s door.

Seeing the talisman painted on the door, she realized why the men had rushed downstairs without fear of an escape.

With that talisman in place, unless a skilled Feng Shui Master attempted it, outsiders couldn’t enter, and those inside couldn’t leave.

She quickly fetched her talisman pen and altered the talisman on the door.

Minutes later, the evil spirit twining around the door began to dissipate.

Luo Ning then used the evil spirit to unlock the door, pushing it open and entering.

A gun was immediately pressed to her forehead.

Luo Ning, unfazed, said, "Xue Ying asked me to come rescue you."

She pulled an ancient coin that Xue Ying had given her while filming from her pocket.

Upon seeing the coin, Chairman Xue lowered his gun, visibly relaxing.

That had been a gift he gave his son years ago; only they knew its significance.

When he took a closer look at Luo Ning, he recognized her.

"So it’s Miss Luo." He knew that the Black Alliance had arranged for his son to imitate Ji Xinghang to try and attract Luo Ning.

He had also heard of Luo Ning’s impressive skills in Feng Shui Mystical Techniques.

That’s when he truly let down his guard.

"This is no place to talk; come with me," said Luo Ning. After scanning the bedroom, she asked, "Where is your wife?"

Chairman Xue’s expression was one of sorrow, "A few days ago, she passed away suddenly from a heart attack."

She had always had a heart condition, which had not been severe previously due to careful convalescence.

Now imprisoned here, plus the entire room carried a sinister vibe, it didn’t take long for him to fall ill.

He couldn’t open the door, and it took quite a while to call for help from outside.

Because of this delay, by the time those people brought the doctor, his wife had passed away due to the untimely rescue.

He didn’t want his wife’s body to be handled by these people, so he adamantly requested her cremation, which he watched with his own eyes.

Eventually, he was able to collect his wife’s ashes.

Having said that, he went to a desk and picked up an urn, "Let’s go."

Luo Ning didn’t say much else, leading Mr. Xue downstairs and avoiding the people engaging in the firefight outside.

When encountering the guards, she used her evil spirit to knock them out.

The car was hidden in a small grove outside the abandoned building. Luo Ning did not immediately drive off, as it would draw attention right now.

So, she sat in the car, watching the skirmish outside the abandoned building.

Soon, the International Mercenaries retreated, and those big men didn’t chase.

Just as they were about to enter the building, suddenly a car appeared at the bottom of the abandoned building.

Immediately, someone got out of the car and opened the door respectfully.

A man in a black cloak stepped down; he wore a hood, so his face was not visible.

At that moment, he suddenly turned his head and glanced towards the grove, but quickly turned back and entered the building with his men.

Luo Ning managed to catch a glimpse of the face under the hood during that brief turn of the head.

Normally, in the darkness of the night with such dim light, one couldn’t possibly see the face under the hood clearly.

But Luo Ning was close to reaching the Heavenly Human Unity Realm; her eyesight was exceptional, and she did indeed see it clearly.

Because of that, her eyes widened slightly, obviously tremendously surprised.

However, this wasn’t the time for reflection, and she immediately started the car and left.

Soon, other cars started pursuing them, but Luo Ning shook them off with a combination of exquisite driving skills and the use of evil spirit to blow their tires.

After shaking off their pursuers, Luo Ning originally planned to drive to another hotel arranged by Lu Xun.

But Mr. Xue spoke up from the back, "Miss Luo, could you please take me to a place first to retrieve an item?"

Luo Ning thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay."

She also contacted Lu Xun, who quickly came to meet up with her and got into the car.

Upon seeing Lu Xun, the tense expression on Mr. Xue’s face finally relaxed, and they greeted each other.

Mr. Xue wanted to go not to the Xue family residence but to a manor in the suburbs.

The manor looked dilapidated, clearly long-neglected.

The car drove in, stopping in front of the only building within the manor.

Mr. Xue led them inside, not even using a key, just pushing the door open.

The interior was a mess, clearly ransacked; not only valuables, but anything usable had been taken.

Mr. Xue didn’t turn on the lights, instead using his phone’s flashlight to lead them to the basement.

After searching for a while, he pulled aside an old wooden barrel and made a special knocking motion on the wall behind it.

Before long, a little iron door popped out from the wall.

Mr. Xue reached in and pulled out a wooden box.

Clutching the box tightly, he said to Lu Xun, "This is what the International Black Alliance wants. I intend to take it back to my country and offer it up."

Lu Xun had also found out that the International Black Alliance had kidnapped Mr. Xue and his wife, ostensibly for the Xue family’s assets and to threaten Xue Ying, but in reality, they were indeed looking for something.

Now it seemed that it was the box Mr. Xue was holding.

He nodded, "Good, I’ll arrange for you to return to the country tonight."

Mr. Xue said, "I hope Xue Ying can accompany me."

"Don’t worry, I’ve already arranged for him to board the plane first."

Just as Lu Xun finished speaking, the three of them heard the sound of a helicopter.
