What?
Chu Fan sat up instantly in shock.
Crack!
The floor tiles beneath him shattered due to the surge of power.
“Who kidnapped my aunt?”
Chu Fan calmed himself and asked, knowing the urgent priority was to understand the situation.
“I don’t know. We were on our way to the company when our car was suddenly stopped!”
“Only three people got out of their car. I was knocked unconscious, and when I woke up, your aunt was gone!”
It seemed the target was clear: to abduct his aunt.
Chu Fan continued to ask, “Where?”
...
Upon learning the location of the incident, Chu Fan immediately contacted Ji Ningyue to mobilize the full power of the Azure Dragon Consortium for an investigation.
At the same time, all exits from Shanhai City were to be sealed.
As long as Qin Xue remained within Shanhai City, she could be found.
Chu Fan’s concern was that she might have been taken out of Shanhai City.
With his aunt kidnapped, Chu Fan had no interest in looking at more documents. He walked to the window with his hands behind his back, his eyes narrowed.
“Who could it be?”
Chu Fan was silently pondering who might have kidnapped his aunt.
Firstly, the high-ranking officials of the Dragon God Kingdom could be excluded.
The previous deterrence had been quite effective; the Dragon God Kingdom’s high-ranking officials had no desire to anger him.
Lord Zhang?
Or perhaps an ancient hidden family?
The former was easily understood.
The latter, Chu Fan believed, was likely connected to his mother.
Thinking of it this way, he actually hoped it was the latter, as it would at least provide some information about the ancient hidden families.
Ten minutes later, Ji Ningyue called.
“Young Master, we’ve found her. Sister Qin is at the old dye factory in the west!”
“The other party deliberately left traces, clearly wanting to lure you there!”
Chu Fan grunted and, by the time he hung up the phone, had already vanished from the room.
Meanwhile.
The War Emperor Palace also received news of Qin Xue’s kidnapping.
“They’re looking for death! Who is so tired of living to court death!”
“Damn it, why is it so difficult to have a few days of peace?”
The five War Emperors roared in anger. They had done their best not to provoke Chu Fan and to avoid angering him.
Yet, there were still those seeking death, creating trouble for themselves and provoking Chu Fan by kidnapping Qin Xue.
To prevent this matter from escalating, the War Emperor Palace immediately dispatched all their forces to search for Qin Xue’s whereabouts.
The abandoned printing factory in the west of Shanhai City.
The wind howled as Chu Fan suddenly appeared.
The printing factory was vast, making it impossible to immediately know Qin Xue’s current location, but this did not trouble Chu Fan.
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and entered a state of ethereal calm.
If someone were standing beside him at this moment, they would see the gravel on the ground within a ten-meter radius of Chu Fan being gently lifted by an invisible force, suspended above the ground.
Swish…
With the sound of breaking air echoing, Chu Fan slightly tilted his head as a scorching bullet whizzed past his face.
His cold eyes suddenly shifted to the high ground on his left.
The sniper hidden there changed color, not expecting the target to discover him so quickly.
Seeing Chu Fan charging towards him, the sniper quickly aimed again.
Bang…
Three consecutive shots rang out, and Chu Fan, who had reached the ground floor, suddenly fell.
Convinced that Chu Fan was completely still, the sniper finally breathed a long sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
“Target neutralized!”
Soon, two men emerged from another building. The sniper also descended from the building and stood beside Chu Fan.
As the two men approached, he said disdainfully, “This guy does have some skills, and he’s fast. But no matter how fast he is, he can’t outrun my bullets!”
One of the men walked up to Chu Fan and was about to bend down to turn him over to check if he was truly dead.
The man with a commanding presence asked, “Old Six, what are you doing?”
“I’m checking if he’s dead!”
The man rolled his eyes, “He’s dead, no need to check!”
Old Six nodded and took out his phone.
“You can notify the young master to come over!”
A few minutes later, a car drove onto the scene.
The car door opened, and Sun Hongji and Mao Anyi got out.
Looking at Chu Fan lying motionless on the ground, Sun Hongji’s lips curled into a disdainful sneer.
“Kid, aren’t you very impressive?”
“You refused to be cordial, and now you think you can mess with me like a pushover?”
His words were laced with arrogance.
“Hongji, your master won’t say anything about this, will he?” Mao Anyi asked nervously.
At this moment, he didn’t know what was happening to him, but he felt a sense of unease, as if something big was about to happen.
“Only a few of us know about this!”
“As long as you keep your mouth shut, how would my master find out?”
Under Sun Hongji’s sinister gaze, Mao Anyi’s face turned pale. Fearing he would be silenced, he quickly nodded and said, “Hongji, don’t worry, I’ll definitely keep this matter a secret.”
Sun Hongji nodded with satisfaction and said to one of the men, “Uncle Chang, please handle this kid’s body!”
“Once it’s dealt with, contact my father, and he’ll transfer the money to your account!”
The man called Uncle Chang nodded, “Young Master Sun, please rest assured, we’ll take care of the cleanup.”
“The scene might be a bit bloody. To avoid Young Master Sun losing his appetite, please leave first!”
As Sun Hongji was about to turn, the sniper asked, “Young Master Sun, what about the woman?”
Recalling Qin Xue, Sun Hongji casually said, “You handle it. Deal with her after you’ve had your fun. Keeping her around is also a curse!”
The expressions of the three men immediately became interesting.
“Sun Hongji, you’ve got quite the nerve!”
“What a pity, though. You’ve used it in the wrong place!”
Chu Fan’s voice suddenly echoed.
The five people at the scene changed their expressions and quickly scanned their surroundings, trying to find who was speaking.
At the same time.
Chu Fan, who had been lying motionless on the ground, moved his arms slightly, propping himself up and slowly rising.
“You… you…”
The sniper retreated in horror, never expecting Chu Fan to be alive.
He had personally taken the shot and watched Chu Fan being hit.
It was unimaginable how he was still alive.
Uncle Chang also said in shock, “You… didn’t you have no heartbeat a moment ago?”
As a master-level expert, he could sense a person’s heartbeat within a certain range.
Just now, when Old Six was about to check if Chu Fan was dead, he had stopped him because he couldn’t sense a heartbeat from Chu Fan.
Sun Hongji hesitated, panic flickering in his eyes.
He truly hadn’t expected Chu Fan to feign death, luring out the mastermind behind it all.
However, thinking of Uncle Chang’s background, his demeanor quickly calmed down.
“Kid, since I couldn’t kill you just now, I’ll make you die again later!”
Chu Fan chuckled.
“Oh, really?”
“With just these three useless fellows?”
Feeling belittled, Uncle Chang let out a cold snort, braced himself, and assumed a stance.
“You all step back. This kid has some skills. Let me have some fun with him!”
Whoosh…
A gust of wind suddenly arose.
Sun Hongji and the others only saw a blur before their eyes, and Uncle Chang had already vanished from his spot.
Where did he go?
Whoosh…
A sound came from above. Mao Anyi quickly pushed Sun Hongji away.
Bang!
Uncle Chang’s entire body slammed heavily onto the ground.
Blood slowly flowed from his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.
Bleeding from all seven orifices.
He was undeniably dead.
What?
The four people at the scene felt a chill run down their spines.
A master-level expert had just died?
