Chapter 76: Tit-for-Tat

~8 min read 1,424 words

Yin Shuyi snorted coldly in anger: "You are certainly clever."

"Why can't you be as worry-free as that child from the Jing Family? What can you even do? Eating, drinking, and having fun—which one have you ever lacked? How long has it been since I handed the arms trafficking channels over to you, and you've already caused such a huge mess for me!"

"Have you found the items back yet?"

Yin Huaiyu sat up straight, his lazy expression fading to reveal a hint of gravity: "Not yet, but I've investigated it clearly; it was Huo Xi who sent the Imperial Army to intercept them."

"My men have already rushed to Ganan; they will be able to catch him within three days."

Huo Xi?

Yin Shuyi narrowed his eyes: "Huo Xi General?"

"I didn't expect that after searching for him for so many years, he would finally show his fox tail himself. Ganan... that place is remote, which actually makes it easy to act."

He looked at Yin Huaiyu: "Those people are all good-for-nothings. You take men to Ganan immediately and bring Huo Xi back to me."

"Did you hear me?"

Yin Huaiyu tossed two grapes into his mouth before saying: "Understood."

"You keep nagging all day long; I'm going now, is that alright?"

The few people who had rushed back from the Police saw Yin Huaiyu and first nodded, saying respectfully: "Eldest Young Master."

Yin Huaiyu waved his hand: "That's enough, go in."

Those few people walked toward the living room, lowered their heads before Yin Shuyi, and began to report the situation: "Family Head, the situation at the Police is a bit complicated."

Yin Shuyi was imposing without being angry: "Oh?"

"Let's hear it."

The one in the lead said: "The clues were all destroyed. We found a mobile phone under the cliff and wanted to recover the data to see if we could discover any traces."

"Then we received a card dealt by the Tarot Organization."

Yin Shuyi paused his hand that was flipping through the newspaper and said with a calm demeanor: "Who is it?"

The few people looked at each other and gave the answer: "The Fool."

Upon hearing these two words, a hint of wariness finally appeared in the depths of Yin Shuyi's eyes. He was exceptionally terrifying when he was cold-faced, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop by a few degrees, carrying a full sense of intimidation: "What about that Priestess from last time? Was she caught?"

They shook their heads: "No."

Like a loach, not only could they not catch her, but she also led them around in circles...

The coldness revealed in Yin Shuyi's black eyes almost condensed into substance, and after a long while, he said this: "The people in this organization are all terrorists."

Many people internationally are terrified at the mention of them.

The few people in the living room looked at each other and blinked repeatedly, thinking that this statement was not wrong.

Magician: Hmm?

The Fool: Huh?

Priestess: What's wrong with that? If you're bad, just practice more.

"Family Head, should we continue to investigate?"

Yin Shuyi didn't speak and looked at the Buddha statue placed in the shrine on the offering table: "Is what is buried under those gods and Buddhas salvation and compassion, or endless sin?"

"It seems that even the Buddha will not save him."

"Dead is dead; the fewer people who know about the events of that year, the better."

Yin Shuyi remained in that scholarly appearance of not showing his true feelings. He spoke as if no one else was around, but every word and every syllable seemed shrouded in blood, making one's teeth and lips feel cold.

Ling Wu and Xi Huaizhi had already packed their things.

They could set off for Ganan at any time.

"Ding!"

Ling Wu picked up the plastic ammunition box and put it into his pocket. Looking down, he saw his phone screen light up; Qi Yu had sent him a message: Ling Wu, have you taken notes for the recent classes?

-05: No notes taken, I asked for leave.

-Qi Yu: Leave? Are you sick?

-05: Going on a long trip to handle a small matter.

Qi Yu didn't notice anything unusual from the other person's light and breezy few words and just replied: Stay safe.

-05: Mm.

Xi Huaizhi knocked on the door and walked in. Seeing him typing on his phone, he looked from the side: "A-Wu, who are you chatting with?"

Ling Wu turned off the screen and turned his head: "A friend."

"When are we leaving?"

"Wait, I have something for you." Xi Huaizhi took out a Human Skin Mask and handed it to Ling Wu: "Latest news, it's just as we imagined last night; Yin Huaiyu went to Ganan personally. Aren't you and he classmates?"

"To avoid unnecessary trouble, I asked the Priestess for a Human Skin Mask. She is responsible for meeting us in Ganan."

Ling Wu put on the Human Skin Mask, and his originally beautiful and superior facial features became ordinary, with only his exposed eyes looking bright and exceptionally good-looking.

Xi Huaizhi put one on as well.

Closing the door, they left the villa.

Xi Huaizhi opened the door of the red supercar.

Ling Wu glanced at him: "Do you really have to drive such a flashy car out?"

In the end, the two of them drove a black SUV out.

From Beidu to Ganan, it takes 5 hours by car. The journey is a bit long; Xi Huaizhi is responsible for the first half of the road, and Ling Wu is responsible for the second half.

At the same time, Yin Huaiyu on the other side, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, did not choose to travel by helicopter and also drove a low-key SUV.

Yin Huaiyu looked at the unfamiliar scenery outside the window, feeling quite impatient: "How much longer?"

The Yin Family members rode in two cars, traveling together on the highway. The tires left shallow tracks on the ground, and the cars were moving very fast, like black lightning streaking past.

The driver said: "Young Master, it will be another hour before we reach Ganan. We are already taking the closest route."

"Stop the car!" Yin Huaiyu pulled open the car door, dragged the driver from the driver's seat, and sat in it himself: "At the rate you're driving, when will this young master ever reach Ganan?"

He floored the accelerator, and the car vanished onto the road like an arrow released from a bowstring.

Ganan is located in a remote area, and even the nearby highways rarely see vehicles passing by; Yin Huaiyu has been speeding for years, and his driving skills are quite excellent.

Half an hour later.

As they were about to approach the Ganan City district, Ling Wu gripped the steering wheel and merged from the left lane onto the main road; at the same time, two black SUVs pulled out from the right lane, and the three cars were almost driving side by side.

A woman's voice came through the headset of Xi Huaizhi, and then he glanced at the SUV on his right, his expression subtle: "What a coincidence? All roads lead to Rome, yet we just had to run into the Yin Family's mad dog on this very road."

Ling Wu turned his eyes to look to the left, and through the window, he could see that flamboyant pink hair of Yin Huaiyu: "What did the High Priestess say?"

Xi Huaizhi: "The person hasn't run yet."

On the other side.

In the Yin Family's car, a subordinate said: "Why does the car next to us keep following us?"

Yin Huaiyu, on the other hand, frowned and overtook from the left, but within a few seconds, the other SUV caught up; the two cars chased each other, tit for tat, and even the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Yin Huaiyu had an ominous intuition: "Are they Huo Xi's people?"

The plants flew backward in a blur.

Ling Wu watched as the other two cars approached from the left and right, and he also keenly sensed that something was wrong; the other party wanted to force them to a stop. He gripped the Colt M1911 pistol equipped with a silencer with his slender hand, his eyes exceptionally calm, and he steadily raised his hand, quickly aiming from the car window at the head of the person in the other car's passenger seat: "Xi Huaizhi, do it!"
