Chapter 899 The Vault Was Robbed
"We need to change our location; we can’t use this one anymore," the God of Night Assassins said as he threw Hades’s corpse on the ground. Although he didn’t get the information he wanted from Hades’s mouth, the situation was almost clear. The fight had been too loud; it was best to leave now. With that thought, he issued the order and then led the Dark Demons, Ding Wan’er, and her children away from there, moving to another hideout.
Once at the new hideout, the God of Night Assassins snickered and then dialed Max Dorrell’s number.
Max Dorrell was on the other side, drinking with Jack, and was surprised to receive a call from the God of Night Assassins. What did he want with him? After a brief thought, Max decided to answer the call, curious to hear what the God of Night Assassins was up to.
"Former Boss, I’ve received the generous gift of the King of Mercenary, but I might disappoint you. They’re all dead now. Don’t worry, as soon as I’m done with Shen Tian, I’ll come see you," the God of Night Assassins said with a cold chuckle. He hadn’t expected Max Dorrell to turn on him this way. Now that it was done, as soon as he took care of Shen Tian, he would definitely go after Max Dorrell. It wouldn’t be fair to let it slide. Besides, since Max wanted to kill him, there was no way he would let Max get away with it.
"Fuck, you still want to come after me? Let’s see if you’re still alive, then we’ll talk. If you do survive, do whatever you want, but that’s never going to happen. Just wait for your doom. Go to hell!" Max Dorrell was enraged upon hearing the God of Night Assassins’ words. He hadn’t expected the once obedient God of Night Assassins to speak to him this way, filling Max with fury. After uttering those words,
But what immediately chilled his heart was not the fear that the God of Night Assassins might come for him, but the realization that the King of Mercenary had failed to kill him. That was what mattered most. The God of Night Assassins was surely going to be found by Lin Feng, and that was his greatest concern.
As for the God of Night Assassins finding him, Max Dorrell didn’t worry at all. He knew very well that no matter how strong the Dark Demons were, they stood no chance against Lin Feng. Moreover, the God of Night Assassins had dared to abduct Ding Wan’er and Shen Yao, which was suicidal. As soon as their location was discovered, Lin Feng was sure to take action. By then, the God of Night Assassins and his men would not escape a fate of total annihilation.
Thinking about this, Max Dorrell felt indescribably uncomfortable because he knew it wouldn’t be long before he had to confront Lin Feng. He also knew that if Lin Feng wanted to find him, there was no way he could hide. What should he do?
Feeling powerless, he tossed the phone onto the sofa, and a headache began to set in. The inevitable had still happened...
"Boss, has the King of Mercenary failed?"
"Yes, they’re all dead. Foolish enough to provoke Lin Feng, they don’t even know how they died and still dared to threaten me."
"What about us...?"
"Proceed with our plan as we decided."
"Just give up on everything?"
"What else can we do? You know Lin Feng as well as I do."
"Sigh..."
...
After a long while, Jack could tell from the phone conversation that the King of Mercenary had failed. He wanted to know what to do next. Watching Max Dorrell deep in thought, he couldn’t hold back any longer and spoke up. He really wanted to know how the boss planned to deal with the situation.
Hearing Jack’s words, Max Dorrell opened his eyes, which no longer shone as brightly, filled instead with disillusionment and despair. He started chatting with Jack while arranging subsequent matters. At that point, he truly felt hopeless, with only one thought in mind: when Lin Feng arrived, he would try to shoulder everything on his own. That would be the most complete ending. As for running or hiding, Max Dorrell had no hope at all, knowing he couldn’t hide from a super hacker like Lin Feng.
By now, Max Dorrell had begun to regret everything. Why did he take action against Cloud Fund in the first place? Why did he send an assassin after Chu Meng? Why did he constantly clash with Lin Feng? Why did it seem like Lin Feng was his fated nemesis? Why...
If they hadn’t targeted Chu Meng and Cloud Fund in the beginning, then these things might not have happened, but now that the wood has already been made into a boat, regretting is useless...
...
During the time Shen Yao and Ding Wan’er went missing, the entire Yuegang had been turned upside down, every underground force had emerged, converging in the West of Yuegang, starting a blanket search for the missing persons, which alarmed the people of Yuegang who had no idea what major incident had occurred.
It’s not that these gang leaders were overreacting; after Shen Tian had waited for two hours without any news, he truly became anxious. He then issued a deadly order to all the big shots in Yuegang; they had to find Shen Yao at all costs or they shouldn’t blame him, Shen Tian, for the consequences.
Upon hearing Shen Tian’s words, all the big bosses of Yuegang broke out in cold sweats and desperately led their people towards the direction where Shen Yao had disappeared, trying their best to locate her. They turned the West of Yuegang upside down, because they knew exactly what weight Shen Tian carried as a person in Yuegang; and if Shen Tian really got angry, no one would be left alive—because the man speaking was Shen Tian, the wealthy magnate of Yuegang, and they were all aware of the super force Shen Tian had at his disposal!
These bosses now had no other concerns—there was only one goal: to find Shen Yao as quickly as possible. They certainly had no desire to die...
Because of these bosses’ sudden movements, the situation became extremely awkward for the officials. After they found out what was happening, the officials felt helpless too. They all knew Shen Tian’s character, and were aware that Shen Yao was his Achilles’ heel. They couldn’t forget the events from over a decade ago, and now that such an incident had occurred again, it would be strange if Shen Tian didn’t go mad.
They had their difficulties too. As representatives of the government, they couldn’t permit such disturbing activities; however, finding no alternative, they had to communicate with Shen Tian, hoping he would cooperate. Saving his daughter was fine, and the officials would also send out people to search as much as possible, but they hoped Shen Tian would ask the bosses to call off their men and not continue the high-profile searching, as this was quite improper.
And Shen Tian gave them just one sentence in return, that as long as Shen Yao’s whereabouts were known, he would follow the officials’ orders; otherwise, all negotiations were off the table.
Hearing Shen Tian’s words made the officials very troubled, as they all knew that Shen Tian meant what he said and would follow through. Shen Yao was in trouble, and Shen Tian would not just stand by idly. Having no other choice, they sent their police and special forces out to assist Shen Tian in finding Shen Yao, and at the same time to maintain law and order in the West of Yuegang. After all, right now that area was crowded with some of Yuegang’s most infamous bosses and their aides—it was crucial that nothing should go wrong...
In short, Yuegang was now in chaos, and people from all sides were searching for Shen Yao’s whereabouts.
...
Shen Tian and Lin Feng sat in the study waiting for news, neither of them speaking a word, just sitting in silence. It wasn’t that they weren’t anxious, but they knew that at this time, apart from waiting, there was nothing else they could do. Even if they went out to search, it would be meaningless.
Shen Tian was incessantly smoking cigars, while Lin Feng, after checking all the surveillance footage and still finding no trace of the culprits, had no choice but to blankly stare at the computer screen...
After an indeterminate amount of time, Uncle Fu rushed into the room, making Shen Tian and Lin Feng’s eyes light up, both hoping to receive some good news from him.
"Master, our Shen Corporation’s vault under the Shen Tower has been robbed. Except for He Changfeng, everyone guarding the place is dead. And now He Changfeng, gravely injured, has managed to crawl back to the living room. You should go see him, Master."
Uncle Fu was extremely anxious. The Shen family’s vault had been plundered, which was very serious indeed. Money was a small matter, the key issue was that some extremely important items were stored there, such as antiques and paintings worth hundreds of millions. Those were now all stolen, and it was unpredictable how much might be lost...
It was precisely because of the importance of that location that the Shen family had stationed He Changfeng along with several AA-level experts there. However, they had not anticipated that even He Changfeng would be left severely injured, barely escaping with his life. The wounds on He Changfeng were horrific, deep to the bone, indicating how formidable their opponents were. These powerful experts had seemingly appeared out of thin air; there was no one in Yuegang so formidable!
"Come, Lin Feng, let’s go take a look." Upon hearing what Uncle Fu said, Shen Tian immediately stood up, sensing the gravity of the situation. He was very aware of how formidable the defenses of the vault were. That He Changfeng could get severely wounded and escape meant that the people who had taken action this time were certainly experts, and not just any experts, but super experts!
Thinking this, Shen Tian spoke to Lin Feng, then followed Uncle Fu out of the room. Lin Feng quickly followed as well, eager to find out what had happened. However, he had a vague feeling that the people who had made a move on the Shen family were not just ordinary people, but must be a formidable organization. Otherwise, they could not possibly possess such strength.
As the three of them stepped into the living room of the Shen family’s mansion, they immediately saw He Changfeng lying on the ground. The Shen family doctors were busily administering first aid to He Changfeng, cleaning and stitching his wounds. Although He Changfeng was alert and clear-headed, enduring the pain didn’t matter to him; he needed to keep his mind clear to tell Shen Tian exactly what had happened.
