Chapter 575 - 575: Madness and Desperation
“And every exit of Zhongxin Shopping Mall has been sealed; no one inside can get out. I now order you to deliver the Dragon Blood Ganoderma to me within three hours, or I’ll blow up the rest of the floors in the mall!”
“And those who die in the explosion, it will all be on you!”
“Remember, their deaths will be because of you!”
As soon as Su Jian finished speaking, the call was cut off.
Li Qianfan couldn’t get through again.
“Madmen! The Su Family are all madmen!” Li Qianfan gritted his teeth, his face ashen.
Liu Ruyan hurriedly tried to console him, “Qianfan, don’t blame yourself. The main culprits are the Su Family; it has nothing to do with you. Those who died in the explosion weren’t killed by you.”
“I know, but I can’t just sit idly by now.”
Li Qianfan was in complete turmoil at this moment; he truly hadn’t expected that Su Jian and the rest of the Su Family would go to such insane lengths to plant bombs in such a large shopping mall and threaten his life with the lives of the innocent!
Every single one of the Su Family, none excluded, deserved to die a thousand deaths!
“You should update Lin Ran first; she definitely doesn’t know about the explosion at Zhongxin Shopping Mall being related to the Su Family yet,” Liu Ruyan reminded him.
Li Qianfan immediately called Lin Ran and recounted everything Su Jian had just said.
“The Su Family is utterly heartless!” Lin Ran said indignantly.
Before Li Qianfan could say anything more, Lin Ran continued, “I’ll report this to the military right away. This time, the Su Family won’t escape their fate! They are all as good as dead!”
At the same moment, at the Su Family Mansion.
In the spacious study room, Su Jian stood with his hands behind his back, looking in the direction of Zhongxin Shopping Mall.
Flames were rising from that direction, with thick smoke billowing and black dust obscuring half the sky.
“Family Head, isn’t this going too far?”
“Yeah, Family Head, causing such a commotion is bound to draw the military’s attention!”
“Family Head, perhaps we should, well…”
Several core members of the Su Family tentatively tried to persuade him, but Su Jian suddenly turned to look at them, and they immediately shut up, not daring to speak another word or even breathe too heavily!
“As long as we get our hands on the Dragon Blood Ganoderma, everything is worth it,” Su Jian said coldly.
He paused and then burst into laughter three times, as if in a frenzy, “I’d rather betray all under heaven than let all under heaven betray me!”
Li Qianfan and Liu Ruyan were now fully dressed and had left the hotel.
But the direction Li Qianfan and Liu Ruyan were heading towards was not Zhongxin Shopping Mall, but the Su Family!
Since the Su Family was the root cause, it was only logical to eliminate them first. Only by doing so could the fundamental problem be addressed!
Lin Ran’s call came through, and Li Qianfan answered it while sprinting.
“The higher-ups have been informed, and they are furious. Expect a Heavy Equipment Brigade to arrive in Taoyuan County within two hours!”
Lin Ran’s words profoundly shocked Li Qianfan.
The military was actually deploying an entire Heavy Equipment Brigade this time?
It seemed the Su Family’s actions had completely enraged the military!
“That’s great, is there anything I need to do?” Li Qianfan immediately asked.
Lin Ran spoke rapidly, “Once the Heavy Equipment Brigade arrives in Taoyuan County, they will immediately surround the Su Family Mansion and bombard it. But the problem is, there are many servants inside the Su Family Mansion who are definitely innocent, so we can’t involve them in this.”
“I hope you can persuade the servants inside the Su Family Mansion to evacuate as quickly as possible!”
The task Lin Ran assigned was not an easy one, but Li Qianfan understood the gravity of the situation and agreed without any hesitation, “I understand, I’ll do my best.”
“Good, I know it’s hard, but you must remember to evacuate from the Su Family within two hours no matter what. Once the Heavy Equipment Brigade arrives, they will attack immediately without giving the Su Family a chance to react!” Lin Ran emphasized.
“I know.”
After hanging up the phone, Li Qianfan relayed everything Lin Ran said to Liu Ruyan.
Liu Ruyan was not surprised.
“The military didn’t respond in time to the Azure Dragon Mountain incident, which almost led to very serious consequences. It seems that the military has learned its lesson, hence their intense reaction this time,” Liu Ruyan said seriously.
“What did the Cultivator Administration Bureau say?” Li Qianfan asked.
Before leaving the hotel, Liu Ruyan had also contacted the Cultivator Administration Bureau. With the military staging such a large operation, the Cultivator Administration Bureau was certainly going to react as well.
Liu Ruyan was about to speak when her phone suddenly emitted a piercing ringtone.
She answered the call and, after a while, said to Li Qianfan, “The Cultivator Administration Bureau will send one Foundation Establishment Realm martial artist and five Qi Refining Realm martial artists to coordinate with the military operation.”
After a pause, Liu Ruyan added, “The Foundation Establishment Realm martial artist is the head of the Da’an City branch, known as Jiang WanYun, a very formidable warrior.”
Li Qianfan nodded, his heart finally easing.
The military had dispatched a Heavy Equipment Brigade, and the Cultivator Administration Bureau was sending one Foundation Establishment Realm and five Qi Refining Realm martial artists.
With that in place, the entire Su Family was surely doomed!
As they spoke, they arrived at the Su Family Mansion.
Li Qianfan and Liu Ruyan leaped over the wall, infiltrating the Su Family Mansion like a whispering ghost, hiding in an unoccupied corner.
After observing the terrain inside the Su Family Mansion, the two finally began their operation.
In a certain basement of the Su Family Mansion.
Looking at Ye Ling’er, who was tied up like a zongzi, Su Wei sneered, “I want to know if you regret it now? If you had chosen me, you would be the young mistress of the Su Family. But you insisted on being with Li Qianfan and even helped him against me!”
“Ye Ling’er, this is your fate, you must be full of regrets now!”
Ye Ling’er clenched her silver teeth, staring angrily at Su Wei, her face full of loathing and hatred.
This morning, Ye Ling’er suddenly received a call from Su Wei.
Su Wei pleaded desperately on the phone, asking to meet her one last time.
Ye Ling’er naturally had no interest in meeting with Su Wei, but he swore by a curse that after this meeting he would never bother Ye Ling’er again.
So, Ye Ling’er finally agreed to Su Wei’s request and went out to meet him.
The meeting happened, but Su Wei did not come alone.
He brought seven or eight Su Family Martial Artists with him!
Thus, Ye Ling’er was defeated in a flash, overpowered without any chance to fight back, and was taken to the Ye Family.
Her phone was snatched by Su Wei, and then she was tied up like a zongzi and locked in this basement.
Though she was not injured nor had she suffered any inhumane torture, Ye Ling’er’s hatred for Su Wei and the Su Family people had reached its peak.
“Su Wei, you have a heart of a wolf and the lungs of a dog, I misjudged you!” Ye Ling’er shouted indignantly.
