Chapter 602: Threat

~7 min read 1,305 words

"You..." Jiwu Lingtai was trembling with rage; he never imagined that his useless son-in-law could actually have a side like this.

But he had no other choice now. His eyes darted around, then he gritted his teeth and said, "I can write a will, but you must first retrieve the Cranberry Heart, and as long as you retrieve it and save my life, I will pass the position of President to you."

"I only have one daughter, Yingzi, and since you are her husband, this position is yours by right, but I just want to live."

"Is that so? Your adopted son, Shanshan Wu, is seen by everyone as the successor, and you promised him the position after your death. Are you going back on your word now?" Jintian sneered.

"If I didn't say that, would he risk his life for me? Jintian, we are family. If you save me, I will pass the position to you; isn't that better?" Jiwu Lingtai trembled.

"Fine, write the will first." Jintian stared at Jiwu, unable to see any flaws.

"Fine, I will." Jiwu Lingtai nodded, cursing inwardly that he would definitely kill this bastard once he got out.

Jintian took out his phone and turned on the video function. Jiwu Lingtai took a deep breath: "I am Jiwu Lingtai. I am currently of sound mind, and no one is threatening me."

"Jintian and I accidentally fell into the Underground Dark River with no hope of finding a way out. I am now making my will: if we can safely get out, I will resign from my position as President of the Dusong Society and pass the position of President to Jintian."

After finishing the will, Jintian looked at the video in his hand with satisfaction. He nodded and said, "Good, very good. You are quite sensible."

"Quick, go and get that thing," Jiwu Lingtai said urgently.

"Father-in-law, thank you." A sneer reappeared on Jintian's face: "I think it is necessary for me to tell you my true identity."

"Who are you?" Jiwu Lingtai was shocked, reading a strange message in Jintian's eyes.

"Twenty years ago, I was 6 years old. My parents were Chinese, and I followed them to Fusang to do business and live." Jintian sneered: "My real name is Wang Yu. My parents ran a shop; although life was ordinary, it was very happy."

"Until one day, your Dusong Society had a bloody clash with a local gang. You were just a small leader in the Dusong Society at the time. You led people to smash up the shop, and my parents suffered an unprovoked disaster. I hid behind the counter and watched with my own eyes as they were hacked to death by you."

"You, you are not Fusang?" Jintian was shocked. Of course, he had no impression of what he had done twenty years ago, but he remembered that there was a period when Fusang was extremely anti-Chinese.

However, he did not expect that this son-in-law, who had been married to his daughter for three years, was actually Huaxia and his own enemy.

"Of course not. After my parents died, I was adopted by locals and changed my name to Jintian. There has only been one thing in my life, and that is revenge." Jintian sneered: "I watched you go from a small leader to the boss of the Dusong Society, and I knew the difficulty of revenge was too great."

"So I found an opportunity to approach your daughter Yingzi, let her fall in love with me, and I acted timidly in front of you, all to make you trust me. Hehe, today, I have finally waited for this opportunity."

"Jintian, what happened in the past was my fault, and I didn't mean it. You, you let me go, and I will give you everything." Jiwu panicked: "You, will you let me go? I am Yingzi's father."

"Let you go? Would my parents' spirits in heaven be able to rest in peace?" Jintian sneered. He took out a steel wire he had been carrying with him and looped it around Jiwu Lingtai's neck: "Go in peace. I will take good care of your daughter, and I will also develop the Dusong Society well. As for this life-saving medicine, I will accept it on your behalf."

He pulled the wire tight suddenly. Jiwu's eyes widened instantly, and he stuck out his tongue, struggling desperately.

But his body was already that of a dying man, and no matter how he struggled, it was to no avail. Gradually, he stopped struggling, his body slowly stiffened, and he lost his breath.

Jintian threw the wire away. He panted slightly, looking at the dead Jiwu, and let out a long roar, as if venting the pain he had suppressed in his heart for many years.

"Dad, Mom, I have finally avenged you." Jintian knelt on the ground and burst into tears.

After crying for a long time, he stood up and looked at the Cranberry Heart on the other side of the Underground Dark River. This Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure that many people dreamed of was now within reach.

But to get it, he needed to cross the Underground Dark River. He turned back into the river and stepped into the icy water.

Suddenly, an extremely long shadow in the river swam quickly. Immediately after, with a splash, the river water surged up, forming a giant wave.

A tail in the giant wave struck Jintian fiercely. With a bang, Jintian was sent flying, and he fell onto the bank with a thud.

The bones in his body were broken by this giant tail. He lay on the ground, twitching violently, with blood gushing from the corners of his mouth.

And that figure in the river turned around and disappeared into the Underground Dark River.

After Chen Yu and his group entered the karst cave, winding forks appeared before their eyes.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yu chose the fork on the far left and walked in.

This place was also a karst cave, but there was no Underground Dark River. After entering, everyone's pupils could not help but shrink slightly.

They saw that this place was covered with dense corpses. These corpses were from a long time ago and had long since turned into piles of white bones, but judging from the attire on them, they should have belonged to the Fusang Army during the invasion of Huaxia.

"It's the Fusang Army." Li Cheng bent down and took a look at a white bone in front of him. Although their uniforms were tattered, they could still be barely identified by their color and style.

"And it was a well-equipped team." Li Cheng turned around and picked up a gun: "This kind of gun was equipment for German-style special squads during the war. The Fusang Army at that time did not have the ability to equip the army with such sophisticated equipment on a large scale."

"How could these Fusang officers appear here? Were they trapped here?" Ye Qingning looked around with some trepidation.

This place was a natural karst cave, and there was an entrance where they came in. How did these dozens of people die here?

"They weren't trapped here. Look at these white bones on the ground; many of them have shattered bones, so they should have been attacked and killed by something." Chen Yu pointed to a white bone.

This white bone was relatively well-preserved, but the ribs on its chest were almost all broken. This person had fallen head-first, twisted on the ground, and it could be seen that the way they died at the time was extremely tragic.

"With such good equipment, what exactly did they encounter that caused them all to die here?" Li Cheng's expression was somewhat puzzled.
