Chapter 1289: The Final Step, Discovering the Key is Fake 2

~8 min read 1,471 words

Her words left Shi Yucheng unable to refute.

He had not been in favor of it to begin with, and his daughter's words left him even more speechless.

But his wife threatening him with death also put him in a difficult position.

He could not afford to offend either side, yet someone had to back down now; who should it be?

Shi Youxuan saw her father's dilemma.

She could not bear to keep him anxious any longer; if it were her aunt, then let her be anxious—she deserved it!

But her father was an honest man, and he was getting on in years and in poor health.

Her heart softened, and she sighed before telling her father the truth: "Don't be troubled anymore. Even if Zhu Qingrui has the address, he cannot enter the place where the Treasure is hidden. He doesn't have the key."

"The two keys he used every method to take from me are both fake."

Shi Yucheng beamed with joy and chided, "Oh, why didn't you say so earlier, child? Your aunt almost had high blood pressure and a ruptured blood vessel..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he hung up the phone.

He had to tell his wife this good news immediately, so she wouldn't get anxious and worked up and have health problems.

When Ji Yingjie heard that the key in Zhu Qingrui's hand was fake, she immediately changed her expression, beaming with joy, her eyes crinkling into slits.

"Pack your things, we are going to Jiangzhou immediately," she ordered Nianyin happily.

Taking a private jet to Jiangzhou, they would arrive in one night.

Zhu Qingrui had not obtained the Treasure, and she would not let that thing go either.

The hatred of destroying her clan could not go unavenged.

Nianyin looked troubled.

Her husband, Lao Qi, had been missing for a long time, and she had never given up searching; she had just found a lead, but her mother was making her go to Jiangzhou.

She did not want to go, but she dared not refuse.

"Why are you dawdling?" Ji Yingjie asked, dissatisfied.

"Oh, I'm coming right away."

Nianyin made up her mind, stopped struggling, and decided to go back with her mother first, then go find her husband after the business in Jiangzhou was finished.

Jiangzhou.

Ji Yingjie sent a message to Shi Youxuan, only one short line: The Treasure is two levels below the Underground Palace in the Swamp; take your people there and catch that wretch, don't let him run away.

This time she listened; it was the consensus of everyone that Zhu Qingrui could not be allowed to escape again.

Shi Youxuan and her husband, Wang Yong, and Liu Min led quite a few people as they rushed toward the Swamp.

Shi Youxuan did not call the police; it was not good for too many people to know.

Liu Min was very moved by Shi Youxuan's trust.

She swore an oath that the Ji Family Treasure had nothing to do with her, and she wouldn't lift a finger to touch it; she only wanted to eliminate Zhu Qingrui!

Zhu Qingrui and Qi Heng were both her enemies.

She felt that her father's death was inextricably linked to both of them.

Although her father was not a good man either, that did not affect her desire for revenge.

They arrived at the Swamp and successfully discovered Zhu Qingrui and his group.

Several dwarves were standing guard on the side, and the computer genius was nervously busy at the computer, his forehead covered in sweat!

This program looked simple at first, but it became more difficult the deeper one went.

Every time it seemed about to be cracked, it would enter the next, more devious program, leaving him unable to crack it yet unable to stop.

The computer genius's forehead was covered in sweat, and Zhu Qingrui kept urging him from the side: "What are your odds? Can you be faster?" He had a very bad premonition.

He was also hesitating whether to leave or stay.

If he left, as long as the green hills remained, he wouldn't have to worry about firewood, but he was unwilling; it had been so hard to find this place, and if he left like this, there was no telling if the Treasure would still be here if he came back next time.

Staying was too dangerous.

He felt that Shi Youxuan would bring people over very soon; this was Jiangzhou, Shi Youxuan's territory.

The speed at which she would find them might be even faster than he imagined!

But staying offered a glimmer of hope, and he did not want to see his efforts fall short of success, so he kept urging him!

"Almost there, it will be ready soon, don't disturb me." Sweat poured more and more from the genius's forehead.

"Who's there?"

Black Widow shouted sharply.

A small helicopter was flying toward them, moving fast, but the even faster Black Widow discovered that it wasn't just one!

It was five or six helicopters!

"Not good, run!"

She signaled her companions, preparing to flee.

Based on Black Widow's extensive experience, the people coming this time were well-trained and very likely to be from the military.

If it was the Jiangzhou military, they were no match for them!

"Don't run! Can you take them out?"

Zhu Qingrui was like a gambler who had lost his mind, wanting to stake everything on one throw!

"I don't know."

"Take them out, and I'll give you half of the Treasure here."

Several people were tempted; people die for wealth just as birds die for food. Should they take the gamble?

The four of them exchanged glances, and in their companions' eyes, they all saw the answer they wanted.

They thought of the same thing and prepared to give it a try!

So, none of them left; instead, they brought out their respective unique skills, preparing to give it a try.

If the sharpshooter were here, they would have a ninety percent chance of winning.

But the sharpshooter is not here, so the chance of winning is halved!

Very quickly, the helicopter landed.

The person who stepped down from the first helicopter was Liu Min.

"Why is it you?"

The few of them were astonished, their gazes complex.

They did not like Liu Min, but they could not harm her, and furthermore, they had to protect her regardless of their own safety if anyone tried to harm her; this was their promise before Liu Kai left the military.

Liu Kai had done them a great favor, a life-saving favor.

Therefore, they would firmly execute his words to the end!

If Liu Min hadn't come over, they could still give it a try, but now that Liu Min had come over, should they try or not?

The four men showed difficult expressions, and not a single bit of it escaped Zhu Qingrui's eyes.

He took a Dagger from his lower back and quietly approached Liu Min... he would be the one to play the villain!

Only if that woman died could these few people truly be used by him, and he could also avenge his brother; it would kill two birds with one stone!

"Get out of the way!"

Wang Yong noticed Liu Min was in danger and shoved her hard.

She was pushed to the side, but Wang Yong took a knife wound from Zhu Qingrui on his arm!

"Zhu Qingrui, I'll fight you to the death."

Liu Min also took a Dagger from her lower back, raised it, and stabbed.

He was simply no match for Liu Min; after only a few rounds, he was beaten until he had no power to fight back, and his body suffered knife wounds in several places.

What was fatal was that he didn't have many people he could use to begin with, and now these few people were just watching the show, with no intention of helping at all.

"Help me, are you all dead?"

Zhu Qingrui was distracted; after shouting this, he discovered Liu Min's Dagger was pressed against his carotid artery!

"I'll kill you to save you from harming others again."

She was just about to act, but was stopped by Shi Youxuan: "Don't kill him."

"Why?" Liu Min was puzzled.

Shi Youxuan: "This is Jiangzhou; killing someone requires paying with your life. Take him back and hand him over to the police; let them handle it as they should."

Liu Min refused: "No, he harmed my father. If it weren't for his incitement, my father wouldn't have done such foolish things. I cannot spare him. Even if killing requires paying with my life, I will kill him today."

Wang Yong: "Kill him bravely; if you need to pay with your life, I will do it for you."
