Chapter 966 935: So I Want to Kill
With a pop, his private part was crushed, and Yuan Jiu's massive body instantly collapsed like a deflated balloon, twitching a few times before lying still.
"You crushed his little buddy!" Ye Liqing immediately felt a chill run through his body, followed by a pain down below. Perhaps it was a chain reaction, as everyone else felt a similar pain from somewhere at that moment, as if the pop sound had originated from some part of their own bodies, leaving them wondering if any after-effects would prevent them from lifting their heads.
"If I hadn't crushed him, none of us would have escaped. Once his joints are completely displaced, he'd be like an impregnable wall." Xiao Lin casually wiped his palm with a cloth, feeling a bit nauseated. "Why are you covering yourself down there?" Staring at Ye Liqing's embarrassed demeanor, Xiao Lin blinked blankly.
"Ah, it's nothing!" Ye Liqing coughed awkwardly. Yuan Jiu was dead, and the remaining people were no longer threats. He straightened his back and approached the five individuals before him. Before he could speak, they dropped to their knees with a thud.
"We swear to follow you to the death!"
Ye Liqing hesitated for a moment. His original intention was to kill them all, leaving none, whether they were fence-sitters or traitors, as they could still betray him for the next emerging figure.
Ye Liqing's silence made the five people anxious. They looked toward Xiao Lin, who was the boss's boss, hoping he would have some sway.
"You all have seen the crime Yuan Jiu committed by defying hierarchy. Spread this news, and if anyone else has a differing sentiment, they will face the same charges." Xiao Lin seemed to see through their thoughts, casting a sidelong glance at Yuan Jiu's corpse. Given the current circumstances, now wasn't truly the time for Dark to clean house, as these people still had their uses. He reached out and ran his fingers through Ye Liqing's disheveled hair. "I'm just an outsider; your boss is very angry now. I can't guarantee that your current performance will satisfy him. Clean up here first before discussing your fate."
"Yes!"
"Ah, by the way, is there a clean room here? I think your boss could really use a moment to freshen up."
"There are comfortable bedrooms on the second floor. The manager here will lead you there; we'll come right over after cleaning up." The speaker was Meng Gang, who appeared calmer than the others, likely due to his experience handling matters—he was quite a shrewd person.
"Alright, meet on the second floor in an hour." Xiao Lin patted Ye Liqing's shoulder and glanced at Crow. This guy had grown too big, becoming quite heavy to lift, but seeing his eager-to-please expression, Xiao Lin picked him up anyway. "You need to lose some weight!"
Upon hearing this, someone's mouth twitched slightly behind him.
Soaking in a comfortable bathtub, washing off the blood and grime, Ye Liqing rested his hands on the bathtub's edges, a towel placed on his forehead. The sound of water came from the nearby shower room, faintly showcasing the impressive figure inside to Ye Liqing's eyes.
"Why not just let me kill them?" He suppressed the war within him; his voice sounded somewhat weary. If it hadn't been for Xiao Lin today, he really would've ended up dead here. "Why did you come back? Isn't there trouble with your elderly masters? You should be furious—he privately moved some people to the United States."
"Yes, which is why I feel like killing." His simple words revealed his exceptionally bloody intent today. "With your personality, you'd eliminate people in my name upon returning. The trip to Guang Xi was obviously a trap. Whether Dark had any ties with Mu Rongyun, there was betrayal aimed at exploiting this to get rid of you. I am your perfect excuse." Xiao Lin closed the running shower and emerged, a towel wrapped around his waist. He picked up a bottle of red wine from the room service cart, pouring himself a glass. This place was truly luxurious, even more comfortable than a six-star hotel—just how much wealth does Dark possess? "I didn't plan to act so quickly, but after leaving the airport, I just happened to see you get into Ye Liqing's car; it was already planned from the start, so I came over."
"Ah, I see!" Ye Liqing showed a rare smile. "You're not going back, what about them?"
"They'll wait outside. As long as things aren't sorted here, it's bad for both you and me. I need to vent; killing your people is better than mine—after all, they all deserve death, so it doesn't matter who kills whom." He downed his glass of wine, swirling it in his mouth before swallowing.
Ye Liqing didn't get angry; he sat up in the bathtub. "I can't compare to you. I thought Dark could do something for you, but didn't expect to be used instead."
"Being used is the opportunity for reverse usage—it's beneficial. If you don't eliminate these people, Dark will never have anyone loyal to you; as for those outside, handle them as you see fit. Though I'm an outsider, internally we're brothers, externally, you're their boss."
Crow standing outside the bathroom suddenly rose, emitting a low growl from its throat. "Time's almost up; the rest you should be able to handle."
"Lin, he's always been your father." Ye Liqing stopped Xiao Lin, who was getting dressed, unable to bear it. "I don't know what Master Miao told you, but there has to be a reason—don't just take things at face value."
Xiao Lin smiled, leaping out the window, followed by a gray shadow jumping after him. Standing at the window watching his silhouette enter a black sedan, Ye Liqing donned his bathrobe, lost in thought staring into the darkness. A knock at the door reminded him that everything had been arranged; he dressed in clean clothes and walked out, only to find Ye Liqing there to summon him.
Cold eyes paused for one second on that beautiful face before striding towards the pre-arranged conference hall. The woman behind him followed three steps away, not knowing if it was sorrow or pain. Ye Liqing took a deep breath; in this world, he had no relatives left, and the person behind him was merely one of the few big shots in the dark.
Nine hours delayed from the expected time, those who should have arrived by dusk now faced a sky turning white, yet they still hadn't shown up. Even the person sent to pick them up hadn't appeared. Xiao Zhenfeng, who had been waiting all night, was now at the edge of an outburst. What puzzled him more was that he hadn't received any information at all.
With a bang, the cup on the table was overturned by a punch, water spilled everywhere. Master Qin sighed silently, cleaned it up, then brewed a new cup of tea and placed it there. All the responses from the people sent out were shaking their heads.
The person was picked up and left the airport, but afterward, the driver did not follow the planned route onto the highway. It was unknown when the vehicle's route changed, and the positioning system installed in the car was disturbed, but it was confirmed not to be dismantled. It must be someone intentionally infiltrating their system, Xiao Lin not wanting them to know his whereabouts.
"Master, there is news that the young master's car is on the scheduled route, estimated to arrive in about ten minutes." Whether this was considered good news to Xiao Zhenfeng, Master Qin signaled to Flame Swallow, who quietly exited. "Except for the magician, everyone else accompanied the young master's car appeared on the scheduled route."
"Are you saying they were bought by that brat too?" Beneath the angry facade was a calm voice; Master Qin's heart skipped a beat, the master was thoroughly angry this time!
"This cannot be confirmed yet, but the young master indeed met Elder Miao in Guang Xi this time."
"That old guy should have been killed years ago."
"You think by killing him, I wouldn't find the clues?" Xiao Lin's voice came from above, expected to arrive in ten minutes, indeed stretched his head out of the ventilation and then jumped down onto the table with a thud.
"Young master, shouldn't you be in the car now?"
"I like my own QQ car; the car you sent is too slow." Xiao Lin remained quite respectful to Master Qin, explaining with a smile.
"So who is in the car now?"
"My pet! You put a positioning system on me, you got the truth."
"Did you bring a wolf back?" Master Qin clutched his chest; he felt he couldn't bear this impact. Not to mention Yanjing, even other cities wouldn't allow anyone to privately keep beasts. This is a city, not a countryside; it's even more impossible here.
"It's a large dog; I want to see my pet in ten minutes. If you dare to secretly deal with it…" Xiao Lin defended his pet unceremoniously toward Qin Yu, but it was actually spoken for another to hear.
"Nonsense!"
"The one acting nonsense is you. Is that how you treat your son? Don't tell me this matter has nothing to do with you. I tell you, regarding the Xiao Family, I have grown tired and intolerable of your ways."
Xiao Zhenfeng faced Xiao Lin, thinking it's probably impossible to have a proper conversation as Master Qin hoped. "Once Lucifer is in place, we'll start. Lao Qin, go out and prepare first."
"Master Qin, bring my large dog over; I won't talk nicely with you without seeing it."
"Do you believe I'll call someone to kill it now!"
"I believe. Ever since I was a child, as long as I liked something, it was always destroyed at the first opportunity. You can do that now, and I won't stop you." It doesn't sound like a threat, yet it planted a seed in Xiao Zhenfeng's heart. The one before him had become so strong, and if tantrums or destructive actions occurred as before, he still had the ability to recover. However, at this moment, he genuinely lacked the confidence to control him.
The door opened, and a gray shadow darted in, leaping into Xiao Lin's arms. Qin Yu was still trembling inside. Seeing the so-called large dog for the first time, he was astonished by its ferocity and pride. (To be continued.
