"Who exactly is that man in the ghost mask? Is he really the orphan of the Chu family, Chu Feng?"
"No matter who the masked man is, his appearance this time is to avenge the Chu family."
"Damn it, we four great families, Lu, Zhao, Qi, and Wei, have been rampant and renowned in Dachang City. Yet, we were so brutally massacred this time. So many days have passed, and we still haven't figured out the enemy's true identity. This is truly an unprecedented humiliation!"
"Not only were many of our subordinates killed by the ghost-faced masked man, but even our children were killed. Now, we have become a laughingstock in both the underworld and the lawful society!"
"The ghost-faced masked man previously gave us ten days, saying that blood would be repaid with blood after ten days. Now, only a few days remain. Are we, the people of the four great families, all going to be buried with the deceased of the Chu family?"
"Even more terrifying is that Jiang Huan suddenly disappeared in our Dachang City. This time, even the hundreds of experts sent by the Jiang family from the capital were brutally killed along with our four great families. If even the Jiang family cannot kill the mysterious man in the ghost mask, then our four great families are truly doomed!"
"The only way now is to find the man in the ghost mask as soon as possible, confirm his true identity, and kill him. Only then can we resolve this crisis."
"Right, how is the investigation going regarding the men surnamed Chu who have recently returned to our Dachang City?"
"All those surnamed Chu who returned to Dachang City within the last six months have been captured and subjected to severe torture, but no clues have been found so far. It seems only Chu Lingtian from Baoxue Group has not yet been apprehended for questioning."
"Then send people to arrest him immediately. It's better to kill a hundred by mistake than to let one go!"
"What about the Jiang family? Jiang Huan is missing, and all the experts sent by the Jiang family were killed. The Jiang family will surely be furious and will blame our four great families."
"We can't worry about that anymore. We'll take it one step at a time. If the Jiang family thinks they are so powerful, let them send more people to rescue Jiang Huan and kill that mysterious man in the ghost mask!"
After a discussion, the patriarchs of the four great families, Lu, Zhao, Qi, and Wei, dispersed.
Chu Lingtian returned to the ward after inquiring in detail with the attending gynecologist about Liu Bingxue's condition and the fetus in her womb.
However, upon seeing the hospital bed, Liu Bingxue was gone.
"Excuse me, where did the patient in this bed go?"
Chu Lingtian quickly looked at a middle-aged woman lying on another bed and asked.
"She received a phone call and then left with a rather panicked expression."
The middle-aged woman replied.
"Thank you."
After thanking her, Chu Lingtian quickly walked out of the ward and, as he walked towards the hospital exit, he dialed Liu Bingxue's number.
"Hello, the number you have dialed is switched off."
After trying three times, the voice from the phone was still an automated announcement.
Chu Lingtian's brow furrowed. He was getting anxious because Liu Bingxue had just experienced fetal distress. The doctor had strictly advised bed rest for a few days, otherwise, the fetus might not be saved and could result in a miscarriage. So, why would Liu Bingxue suddenly force herself out of bed in her weakened state? And why did she turn off her phone? What exactly happened?
