Chapter 784 - A Wounded Beast

What greeted her sight was darkness. The tightness in her wrist and her ankles made her realize what had happened.

There were experts who attacked the hall. Those masked men went directly to their table and ignored the other guests. Their main objective was clearly to get them- the legendary families.

What she remembered last was Lu Yin Ze tried to save her before she felt a pang on the back of her neck. She fainted.

Since she was here, those people were successful in kidnapping her. So, Butler Zhou Min and the Tang experts had all failed?

Where they all still alive? How about her grandfather? Lu Yin Ze?

And where was she now?

Xiong Zhi\'s mind was full of questions. However, the darkness and the vibration coming from her surroundings would not give her any answer.

She tried to compose herself.

She would know all the answers later. Right now, the only thing she was thankful for was Linfeng was not in the hall. If he was there, he would not let those experts come near her. Even it was at the cost of his life.

Seeing how the Tang experts and Butler Zhou Min failed to intercept the intruders, those men have more skills and they were more than what meets the eye. If Linfeng fought them with their numbers, he might buy time for them but he might die in the process.

Xiong Zhi shuddered at that thought.

Right, she was really grateful that Linfeng was not there.

Xiong Zhi focused her eyesight as she pushed down all the panic in her heart. She told Linfeng to not be reckless and judge the situation carefully. He would surely find a way to come to her without throwing away his life. Linfeng would surely save her.

After telling it to herself like a mantra, Xiong Zhi calmed down.

A little later, her eyes adjusted in the dark. She realized she was in a crowded place. Judging from this small space and the vibration beneath her, she must be in a trunk of a car.

Xiong Zhi tried to move. Her swollen cheek was rubbed against the carpet. It made her groan in pain.

Right, she was slapped hard. The stinging sensation reminded her of that.

But Xiong Zhi did not give up. She tried to feel her surrounding. Until the car finally stopped.

Xiong Zhi stopped struggling and listened to her surrounding quietly.

When the trunk opened, she immediately closed her eyes.

The man picked up Xiong Zhi and threw her over his shoulders. The expert that was holding her had an obvious overwhelming power judging by how sturdy his body was.

She heard an old voice behind her.

"Where are the others?"

"In the chopper. We brought this woman first."

"How about the Lu Head Master?"

As this question fell, another car came up behind them.

"Speak of the devil. The main dish is here." The expert holding Xiong Zhi said in a lively tone.

Xiong Zhi\'s eyelashes trembled.

Head Master Lu was taken as well? Who else was taken aside from her?

She could not help but secretly peeked.

A black car parked not far away from them. Three experts got off and took the unconscious Old Lu from the trank. Like her, Old Lu was treated like a sack.

The old voice spoke again, "Good job. Send the Head Master Lu to the Master\'s room. Once Master arrived, he will let us know what to do to them."

"Alright." Before the expert turned around, the old voice spoke again.

"How many of you returned this time?"

"Out of a hundred ten of us, only twelve managed to get out. The others are still fighting there. But they are good as dead."

There was no reply. Xiong Zhi wanted to have a glimpse to check who this old voice belong to. But the experts who were carrying her had started walking.

Xiong Zhi watched her surrounding carefully. Since it was night, it was hard to see the surrounding. She could only see a huge mansion a few steps away at the front. The mansion was enormous and old. This Victorian mansion seemed to have a long history like the Xiong mansion.

However, when they stepped inside, the already big mansion became even more spacious without any furniture inside. The mansion was almost empty. Only an old red couch for one person was put alone in the living room. In front of it, was an old ebony table with board chess laid on top of it.

The mansion was clean thoroughly but it wasn\'t renovated. Some of its walls started to change in color. There was even a rust color on the grout joints of the ceramic tiles.

She was brought to one of the rooms. This room had been a guest room but right now it had nothing on it. There was no bed and the lights were not even working.

The man threw Xiong Zhi on the ground. Dust flew everywhere like disturbed bees who had been in slumber for long. Xiong Zhi held back her groan as her swollen cheek was once again hit by the cold floor.

"Hey, missy. You can stop pretending now. Whether you are awake or not is not really my business. But, you can\'t fool the people around here with your messy breathing."

Xiong Zhi: "...." She was found out.

She opened her eyes and looked at the man. He was an unfamiliar man and judging from his voice, he was not one of the people who attacked the hall. He must be one of the people who was waiting for the targets to be transported.

Xiong Zhi asked in a hoarse voice, "Where am I?"

The expert just raised his brow as he looked at Xiong Zhi\'s face directly. In that pair of cold eyes, there was no fear or anxiety. This made him disappointed. Many of their men lost their lives because of these people. But this person was not even afraid. Was it because she had hopes that she would be rescued by her people?

The expert crouched down to be on the same level as Xiong Zhi, "Look carefully at this place. Because this is where you will spend your last breath."

Xiong Zhi\'s eyes narrowed.

She gained a lot from that one answer.

First, Ming Zhi YI, who brought her here had no intention of leaving her alive. It means he doesn\'t plan to exchange them for something. He only wants to kill. He kidnapped them so he could kill them directly. Or perhaps tortured her and Head Master Lu personally by him.

She could understand why he targets Master Lu. It was clearly because of an old grudge. But to bring her as well...

Did Ming Zhi Yi find out that she was behind those attacks? Did he learn that Lu Jin was working with her?

They had lost contact with Lu Jin.

Perhaps Ming Zhi Yi began torturing him and he sell her out?

She wasn\'t sure yet of that answer. But these could be confirmed later on when she meets Ming Zhi Yi.

But she was sure of one thing. For Ming Zhi Yi to attack the members of the legendary family and kidnap them in front of many, Ming Zhi had truly lost his mind.

He retaliated using violence and homicide. He gave up regaining his family\'s prestige into the upper society, which he planned for so long, and instead, retaliate with this kind of grostique act against the legendary families.? He was like a wounded beast who was on berserk after getting cornered.

However, what made this beast dangerous and troublesome than the others was, this beast was housing over a hundred experts without raising anybody\'s suspicion.

Xiong Zhi suddenly remembered Linfeng\'s words. Ming Zhi Yi truly had a trump card left. And they touched his inverse scale, making him crazy to retaliate like this.

Seeing that Xiong Zhi\'s face turned ugly while being silent, the expert turned smug. He could finally see some expression in that cold face. "Don\'t worry missy. You won\'t die alone. You have companions in your death."

...Companions?

Was he referring to Head Master Lu? Or there was more?

Clang! Crash! Bang!

There was a series of noises in the next room interrupting Xiong Zhi\'s thoughts.

"Tsk, they cannot even handle one person." The expert clicked his tongue annoyingly. He stood up and glanced at her. "You stay here, missy. Feel free to roll on the dust here." He then left to check the commotion in another room.

Before the door closed, Xiong Zhi heard a woman\'s voice.

"Where\'s Jang Shin?! Where is he?!"

Bam!

Xiong Zhi\'s eyes turned wide. She recognized the voice.

Tang Xinyang?

However, the door closed and the silence filled the room.

Xiong Zhi was truly shocked.

They also took Tang Xinyang. But Tang Xinyang was not in the hall. Did they specifically take her?

But why?

She and the group did not include Tang Xinyang in their plan. So why did Ming Zhi Yi take her?

Xiong Zhi\'s mind worked fast.

Old Lu was directly moved to Ming Zhi Yi\'s room. She and Tang Xinyang were taken. And there might be others too.

A realization suddenly dawned upon her.

Ming Zhi Yi did not know that she was behind those mysterious attacks yet. Because if he knew, then she might be together with Old Lu in his room. Making her as a \'main dish\' as well. And there\'s no reason to take Tang Xinyang if they took Tang Yin.

But since they took Tang Xinyang, then the reason must not be because of the mysterious group working with Lu Jin, but other reasons.

The only similarity she had with Tang Xinyang was both of them were heirs.

Ming Zhi Yi\'s targets must be the heirs.

Then it was likely that Lu Yin Ze and one of the Guan brothers would be kidnapped as well.

Xiong Zhi\'s eyes suddenly flashed.

She remembered the board chess in the living room.

An absurd idea came to her.

Could it be...Ming Zhi Yi was planning a sick game where the heirs and Old Lu were included?

Knowing Ming Zhi Yi\'s cruelty and madness, he must have something prepared for them.

A cruel game where all of them would die.
