Chapter 1035: Chapter 1040: Hand Over the Person!
"It’s bad, Master, Miss Su, she’s, she’s gone..."
"What?!" The most frustrated upon hearing Little Xu’s words was Wang Jiasheng. He had come tonight to rescue Su Zi, but after his encounter with Lin Feng, he found Su Zi missing. He came to Xuanyuan Pavilion, and after finally getting Zhan Zhengguo to relent, they now said Su Zi was missing again?!
Are they freaking playing games with me?!
Wang Jiasheng, furious, looked at Zhan Zhengguo and said in a deep voice, "Old Zhan, don’t take us for fools, you just admitted that you kidnapped Su Zi. If she doesn’t show up, you should know the consequences!"
Zhan Zhengguo’s face stiffened; no matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t imagine that Su Zi had already been rescued!
"What’s really going on?! Speak clearly!" Zhan Zhengguo turned to glare at Little Xu and asked seriously.
"Yes, Master!" Little Xu took out a lock core that had been neatly snapped, handing it to Zhan Zhengguo, speaking with a bit of nervousness, "Just now I went up to the attic as per your instructions, found the door open, and Miss Su’s figure was gone. This lock core seemed to have been snapped with Inner Strength, the rest I truly don’t know!"
"Who exactly did this?!" Zhan Zhengguo’s face darkened as he took the solid brass lock core from Little Xu, his mind in turmoil. He didn’t suspect Lin Feng at the moment since he ’saw’ Lin Feng only drove over later...
Zhan Zhengguo first suspected an insider leak within Xuanyuan Pavilion, with other factions’ infiltrators making a move at this critical time, stealing Xuanyuan Pavilion’s achievement, while letting Xuanyuan Pavilion take the blame for kidnapping Miss Su!
At this moment, Wang Jiasheng suddenly thought of something, curiously looking at Lin Feng. He found Lin Feng’s disappearance and appearance just now to be extremely peculiar...
"I’ll give you an explanation..." Zhan Zhengguo spoke in an aging voice, looking up at Lin Feng and Wang Jiasheng, "Please believe me, we at Xuanyuan Pavilion absolutely have no intention of harming Miss Su. Give me a day, no, just one night, and I’ll help you find Miss Su!"
"One night?!" Lin Feng’s icy voice spoke up, coldly laughing at Zhan Zhengguo, "Mr. Zhan, are you old and muddled? Given Miss Su’s status, can she stay out overnight? Especially when it’s unknown who took her, can you bear this responsibility? I think you want a night not to find her but to escape!"
"You..." Zhan Zhengguo gritted his teeth, glaring at Lin Feng, speaking gravely, "I, Old Zhan, have fought for half a century in the Imperial City; I have some weight in my words. You underestimate me, kid! Even if I die, I’ll die in Xuanyuan Pavilion; why would I run away?"
"The human heart is hard to fathom!" Lin Feng laughed disdainfully, shaking his head, "Even though you may seem outwardly respectable, who knows what you really are inside! Moreover, whoever kidnapped Miss Su and dares to talk about weight behind words, what you say is just nonsense, smelling of crap, with no weight..."
"You!" Zhan Zhengguo was livid from Lin Feng’s provoking, yet truly didn’t know how to refute him, having been caught doing wrong earlier.
"First tell me... what’s Zheng Family’s purpose? Until you clarify this, don’t expect to survive tonight; I won’t hold any respect for the elderly..." Lin Feng coldly looked at Zhan Zhengguo, calmly asking.
This was Lin Feng’s ultimate intent after circling around, wanting to understand what the Zheng Family truly aimed for.
Zhan Zhengguo didn’t think much, as by now, Su Zi was already "missing." If he didn’t reveal some real information, Lin Feng might really not give him a chance.
"Zheng Family wants Old Master Su to retire..." Zhan Zhengguo looked at Lin Feng, speaking calmly, "After all, Old Master Su’s illness is worsening; if he doesn’t retire, it will make things difficult for many... I never intended to harm Miss Su. I just wished she would quietly rest here for a night, allowing Old Master Su to carefully consider the retirement suggestion, you understand!"
I understand your damn sentiment... Lin Feng internally cursed Zhan Zhengguo, thinking this old fellow is shameless. Being a villain himself, he has no awareness of being one, believing others would understand his actions.
Lin Feng certainly knows that Old Master Su’s retirement would benefit many, but don’t these people realize that improper transition can easily lead to chaos?
Of course, to those blinded by interests, talking about the bigger picture is a waste of effort.
This only intensified Lin Feng’s anger.
"Old Master Zhan is truly concerned about national affairs..." Lin Feng mocked at Zhan Zhengguo, with his hand pointing a gun naturally at him, "However, Old Master Zhan, do you know that Miss Su, being precious and delicate, has already been unknowingly taken by someone with ulterior motives. Have you thought about how to find her?"
"I..." Zhan Zhengguo showed difficulty, just realizing Su Zi was kidnapped and having no clue on how to respond to Lin Feng’s question.
"You don’t know!" Lin Feng, with a stern face, stepped closer to Zhan Zhengguo, coldly questioning, "Do you? That you said earlier only needing one night to find Miss Su was a blatant lie!"
"I’m not..." Zhan Zhengguo instinctively opened his mouth, but suddenly noticed the sound of wind and found a fist rushing fast towards his nose!
It turned out that Lin Feng, taking advantage of Zhan Zhengguo’s speech moment, had thrown two guns at Xue Qingyi and made his move...
"You!" Zhan Zhengguo, seeing Lin Feng’s ’rage’ expression, though surprised by the sneak attack, thought it was an impulsive act, unconsciously stepping back, trying to dodge Lin Feng’s strike...
However, Zhan Zhengguo completely misjudged. Lin Feng’s punch had been long prepared; he wanted to violently beat Zhan Zhengguo, not impulsively but premeditated long ago.
Dare to kidnap Su Zi, I don’t care if you’re seventy or eighty, I don’t care if you’re malicious or not, I don’t care what your background or identity is, I don’t care how long you’ve fought in the Imperial City, or what skills you have!
Let’s talk after beating you up!
With a thud, Lin Feng, gritting his teeth, punched Zhan Zhengguo’s nose fiercely, unable to dodge!
Zhan Zhengguo only felt a swirl in his head, then a dampness at his nose tip, with blood gushing down, quickly soaking his clothes...
Others at Xuanyuan Pavilion saw Lin Feng’s audacity and initially wanted to stop him and rescue Zhan Zhengguo, but upon hearing the familiar click of a gun, seeing Xue Qingyi watching them menacingly, they drooped their heads instantly, not daring to move...
After all, with flesh and blood, even experts fear guns!
