"What's the current location of the train?" His voice was crisp like the cold winter air at night.
The wealthy merchant, in charge of receiving him at Yungui District, wiped the cold sweat dotting his forehead with a handkerchief and shaky fingers. His ill-fitting suit looked more rumpled than before as the air stream blew against him. He stuttered, "It… it might have departed."
"And so, I ask, where is it?" Unlike the wealthy merchant, Baili Jia Jue stood tall without giving a single thought about the air stream. As his hair fluttered magnificently in the strong wind, it gave him an air of regality.
When he heard Baili Jia Jue repeating himself for the second time, he trembled for a moment and meekly replied, "I, I think it might have dep...departed from Yun City and entered the tunnel. The train's terminal stop is Northern Tibet."
Baili Jia Jue swept his gaze coldly at him, as his long legs stalked into the cabin of the plane. Then, he said, "Pinpoint the location of the train, I want to be able to see the carriage within eight minutes. Or else, General Li, you will stay behind and become their dinner…"
The wealthy merchant gave a slight tremble, his face had gone a couple of shades paler as he saw the black shadows that had emerged from behind the man. In fear, he immediately yelled, "You have nothing to worry about! I will definitely be able to do it! I... I'll definitely can!"
Baili Jia Jue made no comment and slammed the cabin door with a whoosh.
The design of the private jet was far more luxurious than that of commercial planes.
The wealthy merchant finally let out a breath of relief when he saw the man sank into the plush seat. He turned around and immediately ordered his men to do as told.
However, as he gave more thought to it, it felt as if what they were doing was not enough.
He ordered someone to give the Sixth Master a call.
They were all affluent individuals of Yun City, so it was normal for them to have connections. The wealthy merchant wanted to give Sixth Master a heads up. He was currently being targeted by a formidable person, hence it would be wise for him to stay low on the radar.
However, for whatever reason, he did not answer his phone for a long time.
The wealthy merchant cursed gruffly, "Why Sixth Brother, why won't he pick up?"
Whatever. I've done my part.
The more he cared, the more that certain person would skin him alive.
What on earth had Sixth Brother done to provoke this man…
At the same time…
In the eleventh train carriage, Little Qingchen used his tiny palms to crawl across the floor with all his might. When he finally crawled out from under the seat, he lifted his head, with an orange peel still stuck to his hair.
Little Qingchen did not realize it as his round eyes were fixed on Baili Shang Xie, who was staring out the window. Confused, he asked, "What are you looking at?"
"The night has a nostalgic air to it," Baili Shang Xie leaned his head to look at Little Qingchen. Without hesitation, he reached out his hands to lift the child onto his lap, and started to tidy up Little Qingchen's hair. His face remained stoic, but he looked every bit of a responsible big brother. Everybody sitting near them was immediately smitten with the scene.
Little Qingchen felt that Baili Shang Xie was fixing his messy hair, so he lowered his head and ruffled his unkempt hair back into place. He followed Baili Shang Xie's gaze out the window and asked, "The black crows are here again?"
"They came with our imperial father." Baili Shang Xie dusted Little Qingchen's hands, "I think he would be here in just a moment, to bring me back for sure."
Little Qingchen was not worried and said, "Pretty Wei Wei is here, let them talk it out. After that, you can come home with me." How can I give up on taking care of a little devil so easily?
"My imperial father is not one to listen." Baili Shang Xie, without fail, only had bad things to say about this father, "He's very dictatorial and would often inflict corporal punishment on me."
Upon hearing that, a black crow flying outside nearly slammed into the body of the train as it lost balance.
The train suddenly rumbled!
The wheels of the train rolled over the tracks as the train entered a long tunnel.
Their surroundings were enveloped in utter darkness. However, because of that, this was the best time to start negotiating.
Within the train carriage that had been converted into a restaurant, Helian Wei Wei and L walked slowly as they entered the carriage.
The carriage was dark, in fact, it was unusually dark.
Helian Wei Wei's brows creased, she instinctively reached out to stop L, whose ears were currently stuffed with a Bluetooth earphone, blocking his hearing. Their surroundings were eerily quiet.
It was as if they were not in a train carriage but a long, rectangular box.
An average person would have panicked if they were in their situation, but Helian Wei Wei kept her cool. Teen L also remained steady, as his hand gripped tightly onto the gun in his hand.
Pop!
Suddenly, bright lights flooded into their vision, as the stinging lights directly shone onto their faces.
"Look at these rats who came out of nowhere." With a cigar hanging from Sixth Master's lips, he turned to look at the people behind him and laughed, saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, this year's event will be a little different from the previous year. We will be having an additional program to liven things up. The details of this program include killing these rats, one by one, as they have no idea who they've just screwed with. Let's teach them a lesson as to what happens to those who try to take away our wealth!"
As he finished speaking, Sixth Master lifted the gun in his hand and aimed it at Helian Wei Wei's head, taunting, "Where should I start first?"
"Sixth Brother, it would be a pity to kill such a beautiful woman. Why don't you sell her to me, I could teach her a thing or two." A plump middle-aged man leered at her, but before he could reach out…
L had raised his gun and shot at his arm!
As it was a gun with a fitted silencer, it merely emitted a dull click as it fired, but the power of the gun was as good as any handgun.
The middle-aged man felt an excruciating pain tearing through him. With a howl, he clutched onto his injured arm and collapsed in pain.
The others backed away as their faces paled in shock, they had never antic.i.p.ated that the other party would bring a gun aboard!
Not only did the wealthy merchants not expect this, but even the formidable Sixth Master of Yun City had narrowed his eyes. His eyes were filled with astonishment as he stared at L, as L was currently aiming the gun at Sixth Master's head after the first shot.
No matter who, when faced with life or death situations, one could not help but feel anxious.
However, Helian Wei Wei rustled through her pockets with one hand, with the other aiming a gun at the wealthy merchant. A faint smile formed on her lips, as if the gun being aimed at her head was nothing. She snarked, "Now it's two against one, no matter how you look at it, I think we're on the winning side."
Sixth Brother did not think she would come up with such words. The woman in front of him looked as if she was younger than 26 years old, but she was far calmer than him. Unconsciously, he could feel that his forehead was beading up with a thin layer of sweat.
However, in a flash, he smiled sinisterly and uttered, "You think that you can escape just because you have an extra gun? How naive, little girl."
