Just then, He Tian's henchmen came in . "Big brother He, we've taken care of everyone outside . " Each of the henchmen was carrying a gasping, half-dead person in their arms; they were the few remaining assassins that Wang Feng and He Tian had left behind just now .
Seeing the terrible state the assassins were in, the faces of the five men before Wang Feng changed noticeably . If it were just Wang Feng and He Tian, they still had a chance to escape . But now, unless they suddenly grew wings, it would be impossible for them to escape, not when they were surrounded by so many men . They might as well just wait here for death .
At the thought, looks of despair formed on their faces simultaneously .
At first, they thought that they only had easy prey to deal with . But it turned out that they were the easy prey instead .
"Talk . Who's the real mastermind?" Wang Feng spoke slowly as he stared at the despair-laden men . He did not fear that these men would try to escape .
There was only one exit, which was practically sealed . There was nowhere for these people to run .
"There's no mastermind . Everything was my idea," said the muscular man loudly . All the men he had stationed outside had been taken out, so he knew that he had reached the end of his road .
Before, Wang Feng might have believed him . But now, how could he believe such a blatant lie?
Wang Feng walked towards one of He Tian's henchman, and then he took the unconscious assassin that the henchman was holding . Wang Feng held the assassin's throat as if he were holding a little chicken . "I know that you're answering to someone else's orders . If you don't talk now, you will suffer the same fate as this guy over here," said Wang Feng .
"Crack!" Wang Feng snapped the neck of the assassin . It was not a peaceful death; the man had died with his eyes still open .
The crystal clear sound of bones snapping brought a chill down the spine of everyone present . Wang Feng had killed a man without even batting an eye . This guy really had a heart of steel .
"Talk . Who else is involved?" Wang Feng said in a booming voice that shook the eardrums of everyone present .
"Nobody," the muscular man said, gritting his teeth . Despite having just witnessed the sheer terror that was Wang Feng, the man did not spill his guts .
"Is that so?" Wang Feng laughed . In the next split second, Wang Feng moved in a flash and appeared before one of the muscular man's henchman . He picked up the henchman and stated coldly, "If you tell me the name of the person who's giving you orders, I guarantee that you'll walk away from here alive . "
"I . . . " The henchman was scared shitless by Wang Feng's declaration . Wang Feng was a guy who could kill a man without batting an eye . The henchman feared that he would end up dead if he showed even the slightest bit of hesitation .
The tension in this place was so great that the poor guy was already near his breaking point .
Seeing that the man in his hands was nearing his breaking point, Wang Feng yelled louder, "Talk!"
"It's Bei Enterprise . " The man finally broke under the tension . However, the instant he got the words out, the man felt a sharp pain in his chest . After that, the man's eyes rolled to the back of his head as he blew out his final breath .
"Hm?" Realizing that the man in his hands had died almost instantly, Wang Feng looked behind the man .
The muscular man had somehow crept forward to stand behind the dead man before he clamped down on the guy's waist with two hands . He had literally pinched a guy to death .
Using his X-ray vision, Wang Feng could tell that the dead man's internal organs had been crushed . He had died almost instantly .
"Want to extort intel from us? In your dreams!" The muscular man yelled . He then formed two claws with his hands and took a swipe at Wang Feng .
Seeing the incoming attack, Wang Feng's face turned cold as he prepared himself to make a move to defend himself . However, someone had beaten him to the punch . "Die!"
A loud and perceptible crack sounded . He Tian had already broken the attacker's palm . The veins in the attacker's arm bulged due to pain .
"Talk . Which person from Bei Enterprise is giving the orders?" He Tian stated coldly as he continued to hold the man . He Tian's methods were no less weaker than Wang Feng's .
The muscular man did not try to resist He Tian's hold . "Haha . Keep dreaming if you think you can get anything out of us," he said . All of a sudden, the man's body convulsed . After that, the man's eyes went wide as he, too, blew out his last breath .
A dark streak of blood spilled out from the man's mouth, carrying a foul stench with it .
"He died just like that?" He Tian stared at the man wide-eyed as if he had just seen a ghost .
Soon, He Tian realized what was going on . He tossed the dead man aside and tried to stop the remaining three men from doing the same . He was too late .
The remaining three men's eyes widened almost simultaneously . They each died with a dark stream of blood flowing out of the corner of their lips . It was a shocking sight .
All five men had died so unbelievably fast .
"How did that happen?" Wang Feng could not help but be shocked by what he saw .
"Unless I'm mistaken, these guys have cyanide pills hidden in their tooth . It's especially designed for them to take their own lives," He Tian said gravely . After that, He Tian opened the mouth of the muscular man . Indeed, there was a squashed tooth inside the man's mouth .
It was the same as well for the other dead men . All of them died after they had crushed the cyanide pill hidden in their tooth . They had poisoned themselves to death .
These men were cruel even to themselves . No ordinary person would be capable of such suicidal acts .
Too bad these people had thrown away their puny lives before they could tell Wang Feng anything of value . Otherwise, Wang Feng would have gotten what he came for by now .
There was indeed someone else calling the shots behind these people . Shockingly, the mastermind turned out to be someone from Bei Enterprise . Whoever he or she was, Wang Feng feared that they had no way of finding out now . That fact annoyed Wang Feng to his core .
Bei Yunxue had always been on the side of Bei Enterprise . And yet now, the same people from Bei Enterprise were trying to take her out . A scowl formed on Wang Feng's face at the thought .
"You guys deal with this place . Don't leave any evidence behind," He Tian ordered . Then he led Wang Feng out of the factory .
Noticing the dark look on Wang Feng's face, He Tian said slowly, "Brother, don't worry . As long as it's within the bounds of Zhu Hai City, my people can act as spies and infiltrate any organization . Something like this won't happen again . "
Wang Feng forced out a laugh at He Tian's comment . "Brother He, you shouldn't worry too much about this . I'll take full responsibility for Bei Yunxue's safety . However, it seems like there's a mole in your team . "
Wang Feng had uttered the last sentence in a cold and subdued tone .
"Humph . Don't worry, I'm already aware of that . I'll deal with it when I get back," He Tian said . He Tian already knew that there was a traitor among his men even if Wang Feng had not reminded him .
The intel provided to them claimed that the enemy had five, and at most, ten people . Instead, they had run into over 20 people . If Wang Feng had not warned them, their lives would have been in grave danger .
A look of surprise formed on He Tian's face when he remembered Wang Feng's warning earlier . "By the way, how did you discover the people hiding in the factory?" He asked .
"Don't bother asking me that, brother . That's my secret . You'll understand it in time," Wang Feng said with a wave of his hand, clearly having no intention of giving any further explanation .
"Fine, then . " Since Wang Feng had no intention of telling him, He Tian decided to stop asking . Everyone had secrets after all . He Tian himself had a few secrets too . Rather than grilling Wang Feng relentlessly at the risk of angering Wang Feng, it would be better for He Tian to just pretend not to know anything .
They got on the Bentley . Without waiting for the rest of the men, He Tian drove Wang Feng back to No . 1 Zhu Cheng .
"One more thing, brother . I noticed that you've been training hard lately . I saw the way you fought today, and I think you're not too far from the inner strength level now . Keep working hard and you'll experience a giant leap in your skills," He Tian said . After that, he drove the Bentley away .
"Hey, brother," someone greeted Wang Feng just as he was about to enter the villa district . Someone came out of the security booth . It was the same person who had lent Wang Feng the motorcycle last night .
Staring at the middle-aged man, Wang Feng asked casually, "Can I help you?"
"It's nothing . I just want to ask when you are free?" The middle-aged man's face had an amiable expression as he spoke . Somehow, that look gave Wang Feng goosebumps .
"Could it be that you want me to replace your bike?"
"No . No, that's not it," the middle-aged man said and quickly shook his head . "I just want you to teach me how to race . Last night was pretty damn exciting . "
"Huh?" Wang Feng almost doubted his own hearing when he heard the other man's request . Yesterday, that guy was practically scared out of his shit . Heck, the man was practically dry-heaving by the time Wang Feng had stopped the bike .
Sensing Wang Feng's reluctance, the man patted his chest and said, "I'm asking whether you're willing to teach me how to race? Don't worry . I'll definitely pay you a fee . "
"You're a street racer? Well, I didn't see that coming at all . " Wang Feng let out a laugh . "Fine, then . I'll let you know when I'm free . "
Wang Feng entered the villa district in huge and quick strides . The middle-aged man could only stare at his back .
The lights in the house were still on . Wang Feng opened the door and immediately saw Bei Yunxue sitting on the couch .
Wang Feng glanced to the left and then to the right . Wang Feng felt a bit hesitant . Why was she not asleep when it was already this late?
Bei Yunxue stood up when she saw Wang Feng . "What took you so long to come home?" She said sulkily .
"Haha . There's been a hold-up . So I got back a bit late," Wang Feng said and then released a fake laugh .
"You have no idea how worried I was . I thought something had happened to you . " Bei Yunxue glared at Wang Feng angrily . "Good thing you're back now . I was just about to call the cops . "
"Haha . It's alright," Wang Feng said . The worried look on Bei Yunxue's face brought a warm sensation into his heart . A woman was worrying about him back at home; she had stayed up and waited for his return despite how late it was . Where else could one find a woman as good as her?
He was blessed to have a woman like Sister Xue as his girlfriend .
"Stop trying to throw me off . Now hurry up and tell me what's going on . You had this angry look today . You're definitely hiding something from me," Bei Yunxue said, seemingly determined to get to the bottom of everything .
"Alright, then . I'll tell you everything . " Although he had now found out that the mastermind was someone from Bei Enterprise, Wang Feng was still pretty much clueless about Bei Enterprise . In fact, he was hoping to ask Bei Yunxue about it .
"We caught the people behind the attempted robbery," Wang Feng said, catching Bei Yunxue slightly off guard . After that, she asked in confusion, "Isn't money their only motive? How can there be a mastermind?"
It was reasonable doubt . What else if not for money that would drive a gang of robbers to rob jewelry stores or banks?
Shaking his head, Wang Feng laughed wryly . "Those robbers are merely pawns . The mastermind is a very terrifying person . "
A worried look form on Bei Yunxue's face at Wang Feng's mention of several powerful people who were behind recent events . She reached out to grab Wang Feng's shoulder . "Then are you injured?" She asked .
"What else can happen to me? I wouldn't be back here if something happened," Wang Feng said with a wry smile .
"Then what about those people?"
"Dead," Wang Feng said with a shrug .
A change went across Bei Yunxue's face . "Dead?"
A life for a life . That was the way of this society . Still, hearing about it had given Bei Yunxue quite a startle .
As if he had sensed Bei Yunxue's worry, Wang Feng smiled and answered, "I didn't kill him . He killed himself . "
