Chapter 757 - The Fate that Awaits Him

Xiong Zhi\'s slender brows frowned. But her moving hands were still light and gentle. "I told you that it is fine even if my name ended up getting exposed to Ming Zhi Yi. I would rather have my plans exposed than have you get hurt like this."

Since her rebirth, her greatest purpose in defeating her enemies was to protect Linfeng. What was happening now, was this not ironic?

Linfeng stopped Xiong Zhi\'s hand. Her hands were cold and pale like her face. "I\'m not planning to die.. I can afford to get hurt this much because I can bear it." His hands ??r?ssed her face. "So please, don\'t look at me like I am b?r?ly hanging on a thread. Your man is strong. I am really fine." He kissed her lips. "So don\'t worry too much, hmm?"

Xiong Zhi opened her mouth and bit his lips angrily.

She was really upset. Not at Linfeng, but at her people who came late, at Ming Zhi Yi who hurt her man to this point, and to herself who carelessly sent Linfeng alone.

"Ouch." Linfeng backed away and covered his lips. He pouted. "I am hurt by your bite, though."

Xiong Zhi hastened to put down the cotton and lowered her eyes to his lips. "S-sorry, did I bite you too much?"

Linfeng hugged her waist. On his face was a lazy grin. "My lips need a healing kiss."

Xiong Zhi gritted her teeth. She seriously wanted to push this pervert for being naughty and careless when he was heavily wounded. But she held it in.

"Chairman, the doctors are here." Fang Dien\'s voice came from outside the door.

"Let them in."

There was a bullet stuck inside his abdomen, but fortunately, it did not injure the organs. However, the muscle ligaments were injured.

Soon, the bullet was extracted from Linfeng\'s wound. They cleaned all of his wounds, disinfected them, bandaged him up, and applied ointment on the bruises. They put a thin brace on his lower torso to avoid moving the affected area as much as possible.

Finally, after making sure that the doctors would stay quiet about this, everyone left the couple alone in the room.

Linfeng changed into clean clothes, a black long sleeved turtleneck shirt and a coat.

If not for the patch over wounded face, he looked absolutely normal, as if he had not suffered heavy injuries.

Xiong Zhi was stuck to his side. She would ask him if he needed something every minute.

"Do you need water?" Xiong Zhi asked again for the nth time.

The man sighed. He put down the papers in his hand. "How many times have you asked me that? You already gave me water a few minutes ago. I don\'t want to keep dropping by the comfort room."

Xiong Zhi sat beside Linfeng. "How do you feel? Are your wounds still hurting?"

Linfeng chuckled helplessly. "The doctors just left. You heard from them that it\'s nothing to worry about. So you, my dear miss, should get some rest. We need to go to the Xiong mansion now."

"No. We should stay here for tonight. You cannot move yet. Fang Dien already prepared our bedroom next door." Xiong Zhi leaned her head on Linfeng\'s uninjured shoulder, careful to avoid the wounds.

Linfeng kissed her head. "Are you feeling better now? You are not angry anymore?"

Remembering her anger earlier, Xiong Zhi\'s face instantly darkened.

Linfeng: ….Blame my mouth, why do I have to remind her.

Xiong Zhi held his hand. Her face was grave.

"I am not angry at you. This time, I just realized that I am taking my sweet time for too long. As long as Ming Zhi Yi is alive and well, things like this will not stop."

Linfeng understood her words. "Are you moving your plans forward?"

"Yes. Even if we can\'t get the cargo, I will go all out and pressure him on all sides. The underworld organization is already in a bad condition. What we have now is enough. But of course, it will be for the best if we have the cargo."

"Lu Jin might not be able to help us anymore after this."

Remembering Lu Jin, Xiong Zhi\'s eyes lowered.

"Right, Lu Jin. Do you think we should save him?"

Linfeng looked ahead, outside of the floor to ceiling window.

"How can we save him when we don\'t know where he is or what he is up to? Besides..."

Linfeng remembered what Lu Jin said.

\'Just remember this. No matter what, do not stop. The only payment you can give to me is to end everything.\'

Those words clearly meant to not mind whatever happened to him.

Linfeng whispered. "....Besides, that man likely knows what fate awaits him."

******

A pungent fishy smell filled the air.

In a dark room with only one dim lamplight, the sound of flesh hitting flesh echoed. It was followed by a man\'s grunt.

Ptooh!

Lu Jin spat a mouthful of blood.

The fur carpet was now dyed red by his blood.

"Are you still not going to tell me?" A chilling voice that made one\'s back cold sounded above him.

Lu Jin raised his head.

There were bruises on his face and his lips were bleeding. His clothes were in tatters. Two pairs of hands were forcing him to kneel on the floor.

In a blurring vision, he saw the speaker\'s face, which had the same features as his own.

"I don\'t know what father is talking about--"

Bam!

Ming Zhi Yi\'s fist struck Lu Jin\'s face once more with a loud explosive sound.

Lu JIn\'s head was flung sideways by the impact. He tried to forcefully open his eyes while enduring not to faint.

His father\'s strikes were not merciful. They were all very heavy, like falling giant boulders slamming on the ground.

Later, Ming Zhi Yi wiped his hands, took off his tie, and unbuttoned the bu??ons to his collarbone. His sensual yet decadent aura could charm any lady.

His dark eyes were eerily cold. "Do you think you can hide from me the matters of the underworld forever? Are you and Ifel in cahoots with each other?"

Ming Zhi Yi was truly angry.

He was doubtful at first how the chaos in the underworld suddenly died down. The loyal men whom he left in his organization did not report anything to him in two whole weeks. He thought it was because his men were in constant life-threatening situations and thus was too preoccupied. However, even though the matter had died down, none of his men reported back to him.

Even Ifel seemed to be unreachable.

He had no choice but to send his men there again without Lu Jin\'s knowledge.

But when his men reported that they could not find traces of their organization in their bases, Ming Zhi Yi became more suspicious.
