Chapter 321 A Killer of Considerable Means

Ren Ping sneered, "Leave it for your family? Fine, I'll call your family and you can speak to them."

Behind him, a flat-top youth quickly operated his computer and soon found Scorpio's information. It turned out that Scorpio's identity had long been investigated by intelligence agencies, but this information had not been activated.

Ren Ping used his mobile phone to dial a number. Soon, a young woman's voice came from the phone, "Who are you looking for?"

Ren Ping handed the phone to Scorpio's mouth. Scorpio's face turned ashen. This was his wife's voice. Originally, as a killer, he shouldn't have gotten married, but this woman was as gentle as water, and he had completely fallen for her. He not only married this woman but also had a daughter and a son with her. Both children were very cute, and he cherished them dearly.

"Wife, it's nothing, I just miss you. Are the kids okay?"

The woman on the other end said, "Husband, everything is fine at home. You're on a business trip, be careful."

Scorpio replied, "Don't worry, I'm an old hand."

After a brief conversation, Scorpio hung up the phone. He said, "I'll give you all the money. I just hope to leave one hundred million for my family."

Ren Ping said, "Okay. You'd better not hide anything, or I'll make you regret it!"

Scorpio was taken away. As for the wealth he had accumulated, every penny would be discovered by Ren Ping's men.

Ye Tian was very curious, "How much money did this Scorpio save?"

Ren Ping replied, "No less than one hundred million. Brother, this money is yours."

Ye Tian didn't stand on ceremony and said, "Alright."

More than ten minutes later, a civilian airliner landed. This airliner was randomly dispatched, so there were no safety issues and it could be used with confidence.

Soon, the plane took off, and Wu Bei sat down to practice his breathing. He was surprised to find that the effect of cultivation at high altitudes was significantly better than on the ground, so he focused on his cultivation until the plane landed.

More than five hours later, the plane landed at an airport in the northwest. As soon as they got off the plane, the two of them got into a military off-road vehicle and headed for their destination, Yuye City.

Yuye City is a medium-sized city in the northwest with a population of only over 200,000. The residents here are all ethnic minorities, and their language is difficult to understand. Visitors usually need a guide to act as a translator.

In the car, Ren Ping explained the situation to Ye Tian. Yuye City was not large, but it had a family that had been entrenched for many years. This family controlled the local transportation and mining industries. Yuye City had many coal and jade resources, and this family often engaged in private mining. Local authorities had conducted crackdowns, but with little effect. Moreover, this family was a local evil force with dozens of lives on their hands.

The young lady had come to Yuye City to obtain evidence of this family's crimes. However, she was unlucky and was discovered by the other party. Now she was being held captive and was in mortal danger at any moment.

After hearing the reason, Ye Tian found it incredible and said, "A small city with a population of 200,000, and a small family, yet the country has spent decades trying to bring them down?"

Ren Ping said, "Don't underestimate this small family. This family once produced a formidable figure, who, like you, was a Vajra Martial King. However, that was fifteen years ago. Fifteen years later, his cultivation is probably even more astonishing!"

Ye Tian narrowed his eyes, "A Vajra Martial King from fifteen years ago? Then his cultivation might already be at the Spiritual Inspiration realm, or even Human Immortal."

Ren Ping replied, "The possibility of being a Human Immortal is slim. At most, he is a Clear Heart Martial King."

Clear Heart Martial King was the title for a Spiritually Inspired realm cultivator who had refined their spirit. Martial Kings at this stage had clear minds and saw their true nature, possessing the ability to foresee danger. While the strength of a Clear Heart Martial King might not be much greater than a Vajra Martial King, the former could anticipate the enemy's moves and always hold the advantage, making them far more difficult to deal with than a Vajra Martial King.

Ye Tian said, "Perhaps he is more than just a Martial King?"

Ren Ping said, "Of course, he is now a guest of a super conglomerate, which is why the higher-ups have not moved against the family behind him."

Ye Tian asked, "In other words, our purpose for this trip is only to rescue the person, and we cannot touch this family."

Ren Ping replied, "That's right. If we can avoid harming them, we should try not to."

Ye Tian stated, "If they make a move, then there's nothing we can do. Casualties are inevitable."

Ren Ping said calmly, "If they dare to make a move, those who should be killed will be killed!"
