From Li Yun's house, Xue'er ran towards the Su family, eager to tell Chen Haotian the news that Li Yun had freed her, and she was finally a free person. She wanted to share this joy with him.
"Waa, waa, waa...!"
"Let me go, let me go!"
She hadn't gone far when suddenly an unknown object appeared in the sky and enveloped her, taking her away.
...
Chen Family.
"A letter from the kidnappers?"
"Who has been kidnapped? And who is causing trouble for our Chen family?"
Chen Tianfang held his head, feeling a headache coming on.
The Chen family was already in a season of many problems; Mo Bufan hadn't been dealt with yet, and now some nobody shows up to cause trouble?
"Sir, Xue'er has been kidnapped. This letter is for..."
"For whom?"
"For Chen Haotian."
"Chen Haotian, that ungrateful one?"
Chen Tianfang took the letter and began reading it. The content was simple: Chen Haotian owed ten million to Liu Jin, and now Liu Jin wanted Chen Haotian to pay thirty million to rescue Xue'er, or he would kill her.
"Sir, what should we do about this? Should we handle it?"
"Handle it?"
"How do we handle it?"
"This ungrateful son can't keep quiet and keeps getting into trouble."
"Take the letter right now and tell him to solve it himself. Also, tell him I won't give him a single cent, and if he dares touch even a penny from the Chen family, I'll break his legs."
"Understood, understood!"
The butler took the kidnapping letter and went to find Chen Haotian.
"What?"
"Xue'er has been kidnapped by Liu Jin, what's going on?"
Seeing the letter, Chen Haotian was filled with rage. Xue'er was his only relative in this world, the person he loved the most, and now she had been kidnapped.
Besides, wasn't Xue'er at Li Yun's house? How could she have been kidnapped by Liu Jin?
Chen Haotian felt that there was definitely a conspiracy waiting for him.
"Young Master Chen, I only came to deliver the letter, I don't know anything else. If you want to know more, you'll have to ask Liu Jin. Also, the master asked me to tell you that he won't intervene in this matter, and you can't touch a single penny of the Chen family's money. You have to solve it yourself."
"Get out!"
Chen Haotian shouted angrily, scaring the butler.
Chen Tianfang didn't want to help, but Chen Haotian didn't care.
The current problem was whether Xue'er was really in Liu Jin's hands and how he should rescue her.
Since Liu Jin knew about Xue'er's existence, it was most likely that he had indeed captured her.
Chen Haotian didn't have time to figure out the real reason behind Xue'er's kidnapping; he could only think of a way to rescue her.
Without thinking further, Chen Haotian immediately headed to the location specified in the letter to rescue Xue'er.
As for the rescue mentioned in the letter…
A dead man doesn't need rescuing.
Chen Haotian was convinced that, having just reached the Advanced Stage of the [Realm of Darkness], he would have no problem dealing with that group.
...
"Tao Ruisi, is what you're saying true?"
"Yes, King. It's absolutely true, Chen Tianfang's son, Chen Haotian, is an expert. I've fought with him, and his strength is definitely above mine. Now that his wife has been kidnapped, we can take advantage of his distraction to capture him."
"If we eliminate Chen Haotian, no one in the Chen family will be able to stop us. We can also kill Chen Tianfang and avenge the ghost operator."
"No! That would be too easy for them."
"Then what do you suggest, King?"
Tao Ruisi looked at Mo Bufan curiously. Did he have other plans?
"Jesse and the black team members have already entered Jinling city. This time, I want to eliminate their base of forces and solve this once and for all."
"Are you saying we should activate the assassination plan?"
"Exactly. I can't kill Li Yun, but can't I kill the members of the Li family?"
"Alright, count me in. I'll do everything I can to eliminate the Li family."
"Good, you and Jesse will lead the black team to carry out the assassination mission against the four families in Jinling. I'll take care of Chen Haotian."
"Understood!"
That night, Tao Ruisi, Jesse, and the four black team members immediately departed, dispersing and heading toward the four major families of Jinling city.
...
Li Family.
Li Yun stood by the window, looking at the clear starry night, still with no news.
"Sir, according to your instructions, all members of the Li family have gathered in one place. The defensive measures there are top-notch; even if Mo Bufan came personally, we could guarantee their safety."
A Xiang stood behind Li Yun, speaking respectfully.
"Is there anyone missing?"
Although Li Yun didn't have much affection for the Li family members, he didn't want Mo Bufan to kill them and turn them into ghosts.
"Anyone missing?"
"Ah, sir, the young one is still in the hospital. You ordered that he should not be allowed to leave. Do you want me to send someone to bring him immediately?"
"The young one?"
Li Yun recalled who A Xiang was referring to; it was none other than his adopted son, Li Mingshun.
It was precisely because he had provoked Mo Bufan that everything else had followed.
Since he was recovering in the hospital, Li Yun hadn't paid attention to him.
That useless adopted son, just seeing him gave him a headache, he'd rather not see him.
"There's no time. Let Chu Jun go and ensure his safety."
Although Li Yun didn't want to see that useless son, he was still his adopted son, and only he had the right to beat him or kill him, not others.
"Understood, I'll handle it immediately."
"This night will surely be bloody. I don't know which of you two will survive."
"However, no matter the outcome, both must die."
"Yanran, didn't you want to leave me? I'll take you to see a good show. If after watching it, you still want to leave, I won't stop you."
"Really, sir? Will you really keep your word?"
Upon hearing that she had a chance to leave, Gu Yanran's heart was filled with excitement.
"Although I'm not someone who always keeps my promises, I wouldn't deceive you about something like this."
...
An abandoned warehouse outside Jinling city.
That night, the place was lit up. Liu Jin, with the help of people from the bar, had kidnapped Xue'er and brought her there, intending to extort money from Chen Haotian.
"Where is that guy? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"
Liu Jin was starting to get impatient.
The agreed-upon time had passed, but there was no sign of Chen Haotian. Liu Jin was starting to lose patience.
Originally, he didn't have the courage to extort Chen Haotian, but with Li Yun's promise and the temptation of money, Liu Jin had gathered a group of people to do this.
