Chapter 1713: A Resolve to Die
Chapter 1713: A Resolve to Die
The man was evidently a bit confused and said, "Impossible, impossible, we've already thought it through very clearly. The reason I'm here is to take that thing."
Ling Zhenfei sighed helplessly and said, "It seems your brain isn't very sharp. In my opinion, you shouldn't join the Guimou Sect; just follow me. I'll teach you a method that will definitely get you the blueprint. How about it?"
The man said, "No, no, I've already pledged to a master. I can't learn from you. Just tell me how I can get you to hand over the map."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Sorry, I can't tell you that. But you won't be able to take the map today because you've shown your face. If you dare to detonate, I'll kill you, unless you have a death wish."
The man immediately fell silent. Apparently, he was just an ordinary person, not a death warrior.
Ling Zhenfei said, "You are using a bomb to threaten me, so I can't kill you. You may leave."
The kid was obviously a bit stunned because when they talked among themselves, it didn't go like this.
They thought Ling Zhenfei would definitely hand over the map.
At this moment, the kid suddenly remembered something and said, "I know, I have another matter. It's not just your house, but I've also planted a bomb at your Xi Shan Resort Villa.
If you hand over the map now, it's good. Otherwise, I'll detonate the explosives at the Xi Shan Resort Villa. It's full of celebrities, and if so many stars are blown up, you won't be able to take this responsibility."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Go ahead, set it off. As soon as it explodes, I'll kill you directly."
"You!" The kid was frustrated, but despite his frustration, there was nothing he could do.
"What 'you'? You've already appeared in front of me. The only reason I haven't killed you is because you have a bomb. If it weren't for the bomb, I would have killed you long ago. Now scram."
Ling Zhenfei looked at the kid, which made the kid even more frustrated.
But seeing that his threat had no effect on Ling Zhenfei, and knowing there was no point in staying, he had to leave first.
"I'm telling you, you better not follow me, or if I find out, I'll detonate, and we'll perish together."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Why would I be crazy enough to follow you? Hurry up and leave. Come find me after you've thought it through."
Watching the kid leave, Ling Zhenfei almost burst out laughing. Every Guimou person he met before was cunning, but who would have thought not everyone was so smart.
At least the one he met today wasn't very smart.
Since he knew it was this person or this group who planted the bomb, Ling Zhenfei certainly couldn't let him leave so easily.
A trace of Ling Zhenfei's Divine Sense had already discreetly followed him.
Ling Zhenfei himself hadn't followed because there was a bomb at his house. Knowing this, how could he just leave?
Ling Zhenfei urgently scanned all the floors with his Divine Sense and even found two bombs.
The models of these two bombs were the same as those underwater, so it could be judged that the bombs were planted by the same group.
After deactivating the bombs, Ling Zhenfei immediately retracted his Divine Sense and intended to follow.
This kid had no Northern Spiritual Energy, so even a little Divine Sense, Ling Zhenfei could perceive very clearly.
Ling Zhenfei followed his Divine Sense, trying to see where this person was headed. But after he left the vicinity of Xishan Manor, Ling Zhenfei found his Divine Sense suddenly vanished.
Ling Zhenfei was surprised. This meant that someone had discovered his Divine Sense, indicating there was someone else behind that kid.
Moreover, this person was also a cultivator, though it was unclear what their cultivation level was.
Ling Zhenfei knew he had to be vigilant. These Guimou people were becoming increasingly unprincipled. Initially, Nangong Changhe and others had principles.
However, after entering the Peach Blossom Secret Realm, the situation seemed to have slipped out of control. Now they even started using his own family and friends as leverage.
One could only wonder what path these Guimou people would take in the future.
With this in mind, Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but feel worried. Sitting on his bed, he expanded his Divine Sense to cover the entire Xishan Manor and Xi Shan Resort Villa.
Ling Zhenfei started searching again meticulously, but found nothing unusual.
Ling Zhenfei felt uncomfortable beyond words.
He immediately called Zhou Jian. Even though it was late, Zhou Jian quickly answered the phone.
"What are your orders, Boss Ling?"
Ling Zhenfei knew Zhou Jian couldn't sleep at this time.
"You're still up, right?"
Zhou Jian replied, "No, how could I sleep with so many celebrities around? It's the first time I've seen so many; I need to keep everything secure."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Indeed, I've caught wind of something; there might be trouble. Tell the brothers to be vigilant."
Zhou Jian was very cautious: "What's the matter?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Someone might be coming to cause trouble. Just tell the brothers to stay alert, and once it's all over, I'll give everyone a bonus."
Zhou Jian said, "No problem. The police are coming tomorrow. I heard Director Guo is sending a lot of officers over, so it should be fine."
Ling Zhenfei didn't dare to spell things out too clearly to Zhou Jian, for fear he might get scared.
As long as Zhou Jian had people raise their awareness, nothing else should go wrong.
After hanging up, Ling Zhenfei's phone suddenly rang again, and it was another unknown number.
Ling Zhenfei now felt a lot of fear about answering calls, unsure of who might be calling this time.
But he still picked up the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Ling."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Hello, may I ask who you are and why you're calling so late?"
Although Ling Zhenfei didn't know who was on the other side of the phone, the voice sounded somewhat familiar, as if he had spoken to this person before, but he couldn't quite place it.
The person on the other end said, "If I told you my name, Mr. Ling might remember a bit. My name is Huang Jian."
Ling Zhenfei was taken aback for a moment. He did have an impression of Huang Jian, one of the easiest from the Guimou Sect to find him.
Back then, his purpose was also to seek the Peach Blossom Secret Realm, but Ling Zhenfei had managed to put him off.
Huang Jian was indeed very special. He had a gentlemanly demeanor, speaking and acting with great courtesy, which left a deep impression on Ling Zhenfei.
But he didn't expect to receive his call now; this had to be about something important.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Yes, I remember you. What is it?"
Huang Jian said, "Last time when we talked, you said the Peach Blossom Secret Realm Map wasn't with you, but you lied to me. The map is clearly in your hands."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Do you have any evidence?"
Huang Jian said, "Evidence shouldn't be necessary, right? Our sect members have sought you out many times, suffering heavy casualties. If the item weren't with you, it wouldn't make sense."
