Chapter 751 - 653: Sir Chen's Disappearance
"Xiaojie, what exactly happened?"
Elder Housekeeper Chen asked gravely.
"I don't know what happened... please let me go... I don't need this month's salary..."
Xiaojie's face was very pale.
"It's okay, all you need to do is take us to save Sir Chen."
Yang Tian said calmly.
"No, I can't go back... I'd rather die than go back..."
When Xiaojie heard about going back to find Sir Chen, he looked as if he'd seen a ghost, terrified, absolutely refusing to return.
"If you don't go back, I'll kill you!" Elder Housekeeper Chen said coldly, "You and the other are responsible for the master's safety. Now that something's happened to him, do you think you can just walk away? If you dare leave this door, the Chen Family can make you and your family disappear from this earth in minutes!"
Xiaojie's face was ashen and bloodless; with a loud thud, he fell to his knees: "Elder Housekeeper, please let me go. A month ago, the master said he was coming to Milan for treatment, but he wasn't here for that. He only brought two bodyguards on purpose; he knew something was going to happen..."
Everyone exchanged glances, their expressions growing heavier.
It seemed Manager Wang was right; Chen Ming didn't come to Milan for any medical treatment at all.
"Let's find grandpa first, Xiaojie. You're the only one who knows where he is; only you can lead us to him."
Wu Yue said sternly.
"I won't go back... I'd rather die than go back..."
Xiaojie screamed desperately.
"If you don't go back, I'll kill you now!"
Ling Ying said icily.
"Even if you kill me, I won't go back. Even if you kill my family, I still won't go back..."
Xiaojie cried out desperately.
Slap!
Elder Housekeeper Chen slapped Xiaojie hard on the face: "Find the master, then you can die if you want. Enough with the nonsense, take us to find him now!"
"I won't go back, I'd rather die than go back. Please, let me go..."
Xiaojie pleaded desperately, speaking as he banged his forehead on the floor with a series of loud thuds.
Xiaojie was banging his head as if his life depended on it.
After more than a dozen bangs, Xiaojie's forehead was already covered in blood.
But he continued to bang his head against the floor desperately: "Elder Housekeeper, considering my years of protecting the master, I may not have achieved much, but I've at least worked hard. Please let me go; I really can't go back..."
"You're simply seeking death!"
Elder Housekeeper Chen's expression was extremely cold and somber.
The name of Sir Chen carried supreme authority, and no one could defy the Chen Family's orders.
This Xiaojie was simply desperate!
A flicker of murderous intent flashed in Elder Housekeeper Chen's eyes as he intended to grab a chair to punish Xiaojie, but Yang Tian stopped him, looking very solemn: "You don't have to go back. Just tell us where Sir Chen is, and you can leave."
"That works too!"
Wu Yue nodded, agreeing with Yang Tian's suggestion.
"I've already told you, the master is no longer in Boston. I don't know anything else, please, let me go..."
Yet Xiaojie seemed even more panicked.
This made everyone wonder what had happened. Why wouldn't Xiaojie even reveal where Chen Ming was?
"I suspect he's one of them!"
Steward Chen said with a frosty expression.
"Not necessarily; he's probably scared. Those who kidnapped Sir Chen might be terrifying, so terrifying he doesn't dare say anything."
Yang Tian said calmly.
"Yes, yes, I don't know anything. They'll kill me..."
Xiaojie said pallidly.
"They will kill you, and you're not willing to lead us to Sir Chen? Laughable!" Elder Housekeeper Chen sneered coldly: "So, does that mean the ones who kidnapped the master are more frightening to you than the Chen Family?"
Xiaojie was paralyzed with fear.
No one knew how much time passed before Xiaojie said, face still ghostly pale: "The master is no longer in Boston, he's on Elizabeth Avenue in Washington. That's all I know, and I don't know anything else. Please, let me go..."
As he spoke, Xiaojie started to bang his head on the floor again.
Blood flowed from his forehead, staining his entire face red, making him look even more terrified and helpless.
"Fine, you just need to answer one last question, and then you can go." Wu Yue paused, then said, "Tell us, what exactly happened to the master at that time..."
But before Wu Yue could finish, Xiaojie screamed in terror: "I don't know... I don't know anything... don't ask me... ah..."
Suddenly, Xiaojie frantically charged towards the door.
"Trying to leave?"
Wu Yue waved his hand, and a Spirit Talisman struck Xiaojie. He could no longer move and collapsed on the ground, struggling frantically, shouting incoherently, and then burst into tears, his cries as if he'd seen a ghost. His spirit seemed utterly hollow; it was as if his soul had been taken.
"Xiaojie..."
Yang Tian activated Spiritual Breath, casting an Enchanting Divine Talisman. Then he initiated the Mind Reading Technique to delve into Xiaojie's memories.
However, just as his Divine Sense entered Xiaojie's mind, Xiaojie started choking his own neck with all his might, strangling himself.
"He wants to kill himself!"
Wu Yue's eyes were filled with even more confusion.
What exactly happened that made Xiaojie willing to die rather than reveal what occurred?
Yang Tian used Spiritual Breath to dispel the Mind Reading Technique.
This Mind Reading Technique could only be used once every six months, but clearly, if Yang Tian continued probing Xiaojie's memories, Xiaojie would certainly strangle himself in pain, so Yang Tian dispelled the technique. If he wanted to use it again, he would have to wait another six months.
Yet Xiaojie's actions still puzzled Yang Tian: "I just used the Mind Reading Technique to try and extract his memories, but he'd rather die than recall what happened. This memory is deeply sealed within his soul; he might never want to recall it his entire life..."
"What exactly happened then, to make Xiaojie so terrified?"
Elder Housekeeper Chen's face was full of gravity.
"Let's follow his lead and check Washington."
Yang Tian said calmly.
"What about Xiaojie? Should we kill him?"
Elder Housekeeper Chen made a beheading gesture.
"Let him go." Yang Tian waved his hand, casting a Soul Divine Talisman to erase all of Xiaojie's memories from the past month: "A person terrified to the extreme is in great pain. Since he doesn't want to recall, let's erase his memory. After all, he's still part of the Chen Family. Let him leave; if there's blame, it lies with Sir Chen for bringing only two people..."
"Okay."
Elder Housekeeper Chen nodded and said nothing more.
Releasing Xiaojie, they departed in several black SUVs, heading for Washington.
Soon, they arrived at Elizabeth Avenue, located on the outskirts, far from the city center. However, as they passed the intersection, they found the road ahead was already blocked. A large group of Milanese police officers were sealing off the street, with several biochemical defense vehicles nearby. In and out went researchers clad in white biosuits.
Seeing this, Elder Housekeeper Chen's expression grew even heavier: "What's going on here? Why is the street sealed off?"
