Chapter 421: Li Family Turmoil (Part 6)

Wu Qingkui's threat had no effect whatsoever, and instead, it invited mockery once again.

Li Shizheng laughed and said, "Adoptive sister, you haven't seen the situation clearly either. Right now, all of you are under our control. Even if you were to die, it would have no impact on us at all."

"Is that so?"

Wu Qingkui sneered: "Then kill me now. Don't forget, Tang Yu'e is leading troops outside. If I die, she will immediately bring the troops back. Even if you sit in that position, you won't sit securely. So what if the Inspection Bureau is in your hands now? Compared to the army, which one do you think has higher combat power?"

Li Shizheng stopped smiling, his brows twitched, and he said: "Fine, what you say makes sense. Originally, I didn't plan to kill you, but Chen Che... must—die."

As the words fell, Han Bailing's expression turned ferocious in an instant, and his finger resolutely pulled the trigger.

"Bang—"

"No! Don't!!!!"

………

Cheng Kexin and the others arrived at the hospital smoothly. Relying on the Inspection Bureau's credentials, the hospital cooperated fully in arranging the surgery and treatment.

Outside the operating room, Lin Qingye, Cheng Kexin, Song Jinhe, and Miyanaga Rika waited anxiously.

Lin Qingye paced back and forth, unable to set her mind at ease, and asked: "Do you think the Junior Brother will be alright?!"

Song Jinhe raised her head and said: "Don't worry. Since he let us leave, it means he has already thought of a plan; he will be fine."

"And I have already contacted the Second Senior Sister. I believe she will rush back at the fastest speed."

Cheng Kexin shook the micro radio in her palm and said.

Lin Qingye wiped the tear stains on her face and said: "I know, but... but I just can't help but worry... sigh... what should we do!"

"Ah!!!"

Miyanaga Rika screamed at this moment, and Cheng Kexin, Song Jinhe, and Lin Qingye were all startled.

"What's wrong?!"

"Zhibo... my younger brother is gone!" Miyanaga Rika shouted in a panic.

For a moment, Cheng Kexin, Song Jinhe, and Lin Qingye all realized that it seemed they truly hadn't seen that little fellow Gongyong Zhibo since arriving at the hospital.

Whether on the road or after arriving at the hospital, everyone had been busy taking care of the wounded and hadn't noticed where the child had gone.

"Did he go to the restroom? I'll go look for him!" Lin Qingye was the first to stride off on her long legs to search. However, after circling around, she found nothing.

"He's not in the restroom... where on earth could he have run off to?" Lin Qingye put her hands on her hips, her face full of worry, "Misfortunes never come singly."

"Pah, what are you saying?!" Song Jinhe glared at her and gestured toward Miyanaga Rika.

Miyanaga Rika squatted down against the white wall, her face full of sorrow: "Mom and Dad are hurt... and my brother is gone... it's all my fault... it's all my fault... it's all my fault..."

Miyanaga Rika had a look of utter despair, muttering to herself.

Cheng Kexin said: "Let her stay here and keep watch, and the three of us will split up to look for him."

"Okay."

However, just as the three were searching anxiously, a mass of black smoke wove between the high-rise buildings and finally stopped in the Li Family's backyard.

The black energy swirled and slowly descended. After it dissipated, a petite figure appeared; it was none other than Gongyong Zhibo.

It was just that, at this moment, there was not a trace of childishness or cuteness on Gongyong Zhibo's tender little face; instead, it radiated an indescribable... evil aura.

He first looked around, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Black energy lingered around his body. After a while, he opened his eyes again, having already confirmed his target.

Gongyong Zhibo walked toward a room with his short legs. As he walked, black energy swirled, and his body underwent a change, growing taller and stronger bit by bit, finally transforming into the appearance of an adult.

"Chen Che, I'm back."

Zanpu Dunzhu's expression was dark, and his empty right sleeve fluttered about, making his figure appear even more sinister and terrifying.

"Creak~~"

He pushed open the door and stepped inside, easily finding the Heavenly Book Stele.

The brilliant Heavenly Book Characters were dazzling. That sacred radiance shone upon Zanpu Dunzhu's obsessed and crazed expression, as if it were about to devour everything.

"I have finally... obtained you again... If it weren't for Chen Che, I wouldn't have known the function of the Heavenly Book Characters, wasting so many years. Now, let us become one."

Zanpu Dunzhu's voice was low, as if it came from the distant universe. Black energy surged and permeated his body, gradually wrapping around him and the Heavenly Book Stele, and even the golden light of the characters was bound within the black energy.

………

"Fourth Elder, was there a gunshot inside the study?! Should we rush in and take a look?!"

The Li Family members guarding the courtyard had all heard the gunshot, and one by one they were eager to rush in and find out what was happening.

The Li Family Fourth Elder frowned and said: "No rush. Chen Che was just taken inside; the gunshot must have been fired by the Patriarch and the others. Nothing will happen."

"When Chen Che was brought back, he was in such a state; he must have already been dealt with by the Inspection Bureau. Naturally, we don't worry that he can still stir up any trouble."

"It's just that that brat harmed our family so miserably before, and he is the Li Family's mortal enemy and a remnant of the Chen Family. If the Patriarch wants to kill him, he must at least hold a public execution so that it can satisfy everyone's hatred!"

"That's right, killing him behind closed doors is letting him off too easily. He should have been handed over to us for death by a thousand cuts!"

"………"

The Li Family members chattered on and on.

At this moment, with a creak, the room door opened.

However, the situation inside the room shocked the Li Family members guarding the courtyard, exceeding everyone's expectations.

Inside the room, Chen Che stood in the center of the room, completely unharmed, while Han Bailing lay at his feet, his face full of shock and disbelief.

As for the gun in his hand, it was already in Chen Che's possession.

Chen Che held the pistol, the muzzle still emitting the smell of gunpowder smoke after being fired, and the person who had been shot was not any of the three major families, but Luo Lin.

Luo Lin stood frozen on the spot, her eyes wide open. She looked down in disbelief, and the bullet hole in her heart was gushing blood.

She raised her head to look at Chen Che, opened her mouth, but ultimately couldn't say a word, fell backward, and died.

For a time, the entire Li Family was deathly silent.

Li Shizheng, Li Ziming, Zhou Xiangyun, Zhou Xinda, Han Chengfang, and Han Bailing, and even Wu Qingkui, were all dumbfounded.

They stood frozen on the spot, unable to recover from the scene that had just occurred.

Just a moment ago, the very second before Han Bailing pulled the trigger, Chen Che broke free from the Limiter, snatched the handgun, and fired at Luo Lin.

Everything happened too fast, too suddenly, to the point that everyone in the room had not yet managed to react.

Gao He looked at Luo Lin's corpse, his whole body trembling, and subconsciously touched his neck; the stinging sensation of the Silver Needle reminded him once again that his life was in Chen Che's hands.

"Gao He, what the hell are you doing?! Why aren't you calling people to take Chen Che down yet!"

Han Bailing was the first to react, roaring hysterically.

This shout successfully woke everyone who had been stunned.

The Li Family Fourth Elder made a prompt decision and shouted, "Li Family Martial Artists, hear my order: kill Chen Che!"

"Yes!"

The Li Family Martial Artists let out an angry shout and were about to rush in.

"Nobody move!"

Unexpectedly, Gao He stepped out, faced the courtyard, and blocked the doorway; with one hand he held the gun aimed at the Li Family Martial Artists about to rush up, and with the other, he pressed the button on his communicator.

In an instant, the Patrol Bureau soldiers guarding outside the Li Family estate rushed in, surrounding everyone from the Li Family.

"Luo Lin is dead; now, I am the one in charge of the Patrol Bureau!" Gao He said with a sharp gaze, sweeping across the Li Family Martial Artists with a resonant, forceful tone.

This scene once again left everyone present dumbfounded.

"Gao He, what the hell are you doing?! Chen Che is the enemy! Your gun should be aimed at Chen Che! Not at your own people! Have you forgotten how we promoted you?!"

Han Bailing could not accept Gao He's betrayal and yelled, "Without us, you would never have become this Patrol Bureau Deputy Commander, you ungrateful wretch! I am ordering you now: kill Chen Che immediately!"

Chen Che lowered his head, aimed the muzzle at Han Bailing, and said coldly, "I said before, I gave you all a chance, but you chose not to take it. In that case, you only have one path of retreat, and that is—death!"

"Bang—bang—bang——"
