Chapter 1144 - 1143: Have a Chat with You

As night gradually descended, the sprawling city was enveloped in darkness, towering buildings rising from the ground, their lights shining brilliantly in the deep night, creating an incredibly gloomy atmosphere.

Jiang Le Kang was driving a black Bentley, gliding along the city's silent roads. He had just attended a party and was now heading to the next venue.

Ever since his father ordered the death of his second brother, Jiang Qiguang, Jiang Le Kang had been consumed by inner fear, haunted by Jiang Tianyi's ruthless decisiveness and coldness.

To alleviate such fear, he could only immerse himself in various parties and entertainments daily, caught in a haze of debauchery, hoping that alcohol and a life of luxury would numb the dread within him.

Yet, even when indulging liberally, he could only forget his fears momentarily while drinking. Once sober and alone, that fear would rush in like a tide, completely engulfing and trapping him within.

So, to escape the endless fear, Jiang Le Kang spent each night lingering at parties, hoping to drive away his anxiety through such means!

Bang!

As Jiang Le Kang drove forward, a sudden thud was followed by his car shaking violently.

"What's going on?"

Feeling such intense shaking, Jiang Le Kang instinctively slammed on the brakes while turning to look at the dashboard.

"A tire blowout?"

Seeing the dashboard, Jiang Le Kang remarked.

Simultaneously, he urgently swerved the steering wheel, scraping directly against the roadside guardrail.

With the tires blown, the car was difficult to control, and only by doing this could he ensure the car would stop steadily!

Screech!

Upon hitting the guardrail, a grating screech followed, as the door and guardrail scraped violently, moving over a hundred meters before finally coming to a halt!

Huff, huff, huff!

After the car stopped, Jiang Le Kang was gasping for breath. That moment had been incredibly perilous, leaving him overwhelmed with fear, so he felt waves of fear even after the car stopped!

After gasping for a moment, Jiang Le Kang opened the car door and stepped out, wanting to assess what had happened to his vehicle!

Upon descending from the car, Jiang Le Kang was about to check the condition of his vehicle.

However, at this moment, he heard chaotic footsteps rushing towards him, the sound echoing clearly on the deserted street.

Startled by the sound, Jiang Le Kang instinctively turned around.

This turn sent a jolt of fear through him, almost breaking his gall. Behind him, seven or eight well-built men suddenly charged towards him.

These men were robust and moved in unison, carrying an air of resilience and exuding an incredibly fierce aura.

They were members of the Assassin Alliance, ordered by Lu Yu to ambush Jiang Le Kang here!

Witnessing this, Jiang Le Kang didn't hesitate; he darted forward in panic, appearing utterly frantic.

Being chased by a group of muscular men late at night like this would terrify anyone!

Seeing Jiang Le Kang flee frantically forward, the men behind him stopped in their tracks.

Immediately, the leading man took out a mini syringe launcher, aimed it at Jiang Le Kang, and pressed the launch button without hesitation!

Bang!

With a soft sound, a small syringe containing yellow liquid flew out and pierced Jiang Le Kang's neck, injecting the dim liquid into him!

Just seconds after the injection, Jiang Le Kang felt weak and faint, his eyes darkening, overwhelmed by a surge of fatigue.

Thud!

Within seconds, Jiang Le Kang's body could no longer support him; he collapsed to the ground with a thud, his consciousness blurring swiftly.

Seeing Jiang Le Kang fall, the men behind him exchanged smiles, then approached leisurely to carry Jiang Le Kang's body to a black business vehicle.

...

Jiang Le Kang awoke, his head pounding with unbearable pain, feeling indescribably uncomfortable.

With effort, he opened his eyes and found himself in a dimly lit room.

In front of him was a juicy, freshly cooked steak, enticing at first glance.

Where am I? What is happening?

Seeing everything before him, Jiang Le Kang's mind was filled with confusion, unable to fathom why he was here.

"You're awake"

While Jiang Le Kang was in deep doubt, a man's voice suddenly came from across him.

Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Le Kang jerked his head up, seeing Lu Yu elegantly cutting a steak, looking incredibly composed under the dim light.

"Lu Yu!?"

Seeing Lu Yu, Jiang Le Kang exclaimed in surprise, "How did you end up here!?"

As he spoke, Jiang Le Kang's tone was full of astonishment, unable to imagine Lu Yu appearing before him!

"How did I end up here?"

Hearing this, Lu Yu smiled slightly and said, "I brought you here. Why do you think I'm here?"

As he spoke, Lu Yu leisurely raised a glass of red wine, swirling it gently, his face full of amusement and intrigue.

I brought you here!

Hearing Lu Yu's words, a shiver ran through Jiang Le Kang's body. He looked at Lu Yu in shock and said, "You drugged me and brought me here!?"

"What do you intend to do?"

Jiang Le Kang's voice was full of apprehension and bewilderment as he shouted at Lu Yu. He tried to struggle, only to find his legs shackled and chained to the chair!

"What do I intend to do?"

Lu Yu replied nonchalantly, his words tinged with a smile, as he slightly raised the corners of his mouth and said, "I just want to have a chat."
