In the center tile-roofed house of the three in the yard was a ferocious looking one-eyed man. He kicked Xiaoboâs ass, sending him tumbling to the ground. âSneaking around, whatâre you up to, kid? Youâre not a reporter, are you?â
Luck wasnât on Xiaoboâs side. Heâd climbed into the yard from the side so that he wouldnât get caught by the two guards at the entrance. It was a decent plan, but the one-eyed man was right in the middle of peeing when Xiaobo climbed the wall. His sudden appearance frightened the man and he even stopped urinating.
Needless to say, the one-eyed man was so furious he dragged Xiaobo into the tile-roofed house without another word.
âWhereâs Fen! Where did you guys take her? Who are you people?â Now that heâd been captured, Xiaobo went all out, looking as if he was here to deliver justice as he manned up.
âFen?â The one-eyed man blinked. âWhat Fen? What the fuck are you here for?â
âYou kidnapped my girlfriend and youâre asking me what Iâm here for?â Xiaobo raged. âWhatâre you here for!â
âGirlfriend? Youâre not talking about that limper we just got, are you?â The one-eyed man did remember one girl with a limp whoâd come in earlier.
âWhere is she?! Let her go right now!â Xiaobo had nothing to fear now that he was going all out. âIf you donât let us go, youâll regret it when my boss comes!â
âWhat?â The man started roaring with laughter as if Xiaobo had just told him a joke. âYour boss? Who do you think your boss is? We wonât regret it, donât you worry. Well, since youâre with that limper, fine, weâll lock you two together. Since you wanna forsake heavenâs path and charge through hellâs door, weâll make you two a disabled couple! Weâll cut both your organs out and let you two help each other out in times of trouble, heh heh.â
The man had just finished speaking when two loud crashes boomed from outside. Silenced ensued.
âWhatâs going on?â The one-eyed man was on alert instantly. He turned to one of his lackeys. âEr, you lock this kid in the basement first. Itâs not the cops outside, is it?â
âItâs my boss! You guys are dead!â Xiaobo had an absurd sort of confidence in Lin Yi. If he was here, it meant both Fen and he were safe!
âYour boss?â The man breathed a sigh of relief. Everything was fine if it wasnât the cops. âBiao and Fei shouldâve taken care of him already. Weâll go take a look.â
âThen, the kidâ¦â Er pointed at Xiaobo.
âLeave him here for now. He wonât be able to run out with the door locked,â the one-eyed man said nonchalantly. âTake the bastard with you. Letâs go see the idiot delivering us new organs!â
âAlright!â Er took out a shotgun from a drawer and exited the tile-roofed house with the one-eyed man. The sight before their eyes stunned them.
Biao and Fei were both lying on the ground, their faces covered with blood. There was no hope for them in that gory state. They then saw an Audi TT. Evidently the car had rammed into Biao and Fei.
âFuck! Kill them!â The man was panicking. It was usually just the four of them brothers guarding the place, and now two were dead, killed by a car!
âTh-They have a gun!â Xiaoxiao said nervously as Er and the one-eyed man came out.
âHah. Told you itâd be dangerous. If youâre scared, you can take the car and go back right now,â Lin Yi said calmly as he glanced at Xiaoxiaoâs pale face. âI promise nobodyâs gonna chase you.â
âN-No way!â Xiaoxiao was too scared to drive off on her own. She understood that being with Lin Yi was the safest option. Plus, she wasnât just afraid. There was excitement mixed in as well.
Lin Yi was like one of those lone heroes you see in the movies, charging into the HQ of a crime syndicate by himself before destroying everyone and capturing the bad guys!
Lin Yi didnât say anything. He floored the gas pedal the instant Er raised his gun, driving in a serpentine fashion before slamming into Er, sending him flying along with the gun, nowhere to be found.
Lin Yi didnât want to expose too much of his skill in front of Xiaoxiao, so using the car to end these people was the best option.
The one-eyed man had thought that the people in the car would just surrender if they pulled a gun on them. After all, normal people felt an instinctive fear at the sight of a gun and what it entailed. Only those with a death wish would do anything rash.
So Lin Yi using his car to attack and get rid of Er was nowhere within his expectations!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He felt the peril of the situation and decided he had to run. He was only getting paid to guard the place for someone else, so putting his life on the line wasnât something he was keen on doing. The money wasnât worth it! He needed to make an escape immediately.
But his vision went black the next instant, unconscious and clueless as he fell to the ground.
Lin Yi took the one-eyed manâs belt off and bound his arms together before using Erâs to tie his legs together. He put the guy aside for now.
Heâd already killed three, so naturally he wouldnât leave any alive. This one-eyed man was evidently a leader figure, so Lin Yi got out of the car to put him down without killing him first as the guy tried to run.
Lin Yiâs complete lack of hesitance during this whole infiltration filled Xiaoxiaoâs wide eyes with excitement and admiration. If Xiaoxiao admired Lin Yiâs driving skills previously, then she now admired Lin Yi as a person, as a whole!
Xiaoxiao knew that even the bodyguards protecting her father wouldnât be able to do what Lin Yi did so cleanly and swiftly! Heâd taken care of everyone in the yard without any trouble at all!
Lin Yi walked to the front of the tile-roofed house and kicked the door to pieces.
The windows of the tile-roofed house werenât transparent, so Xiaobo couldnât tell what was going on outside. The door being shattered made him jump before he saw who it was. Excitement overwhelmed him. âBoss, youâre here!â
âYou⦠Couldnât you have waited? What if something had happened to you?â Lin Yi asked, âWhereâs Fen?â
âI donât know! From what Iâve heard, I think they locked her in the basement,â Xiaobo said.
âOh. Did they say why they kidnapped her?â Lin Yi said as he kicked open the other door in the room. It seemed to lead down to a basement.
Lin Yi smiled wryly. Heâd made the whole thing more complicated than it actually was, assuming that the basement would be well hidden. It was right here.
Not really a surprise, to be honest, considering the skill those thugs and the one-eyed man had.
They were the weakest tier of thugs. How far could they get in the first place?
