Chapter 57 The True Mastermind

Just then, He Tian"s henchmen came in . "Big brother He, we"ve taken care of everyone outside . " Each of the henchmen was carrying a gasping, half-dead person in their arms; they were the few remaining a.s.sa.s.sins that w.a.n.g Feng and He Tian had left behind just now .

Seeing the terrible state the a.s.sa.s.sins were in, the faces of the five men before w.a.n.g Feng changed noticeably . If it were just w.a.n.g Feng and He Tian, they still had a chance to escape . But now, unless they suddenly grew wings, it would be impossible for them to escape, not when they were surrounded by so many men . They might as well just wait here for death .

At the thought, looks of despair formed on their faces simultaneously .

At first, they thought that they only had easy prey to deal with . But it turned out that they were the easy prey instead .

"Talk . Who"s the real mastermind?" w.a.n.g Feng spoke slowly as he stared at the despair-laden men . He did not fear that these men would try to escape .

There was only one exit, which was practically sealed . There was nowhere for these people to run .

"There"s no mastermind . Everything was my idea," said the muscular man loudly . All the men he had stationed outside had been taken out, so he knew that he had reached the end of his road .

Before, w.a.n.g Feng might have believed him . But now, how could he believe such a blatant lie?

w.a.n.g Feng walked towards one of He Tian"s henchman, and then he took the unconscious a.s.sa.s.sin that the henchman was holding . w.a.n.g Feng held the a.s.sa.s.sin"s throat as if he were holding a little chicken . "I know that you"re answering to someone else"s orders . If you don"t talk now, you will suffer the same fate as this guy over here," said w.a.n.g Feng .

"Crack!" w.a.n.g Feng snapped the neck of the a.s.sa.s.sin . It was not a peaceful death; the man had died with his eyes still open .

The crystal clear sound of bones snapping brought a chill down the spine of everyone present . w.a.n.g Feng had killed a man without even batting an eye . This guy really had a heart of steel .

"Talk . Who else is involved?" w.a.n.g Feng said in a booming voice that shook the eardrums of everyone present .

"n.o.body," the muscular man said, gritting his teeth . Despite having just witnessed the sheer terror that was w.a.n.g Feng, the man did not spill his guts .

"Is that so?" w.a.n.g Feng laughed . In the next split second, w.a.n.g Feng moved in a flash and appeared before one of the muscular man"s henchman . He picked up the henchman and stated coldly, "If you tell me the name of the person who"s giving you orders, I guarantee that you"ll walk away from here alive . "

"I . . . " The henchman was scared s.h.i.tless by w.a.n.g Feng"s declaration . w.a.n.g Feng was a guy who could kill a man without batting an eye . The henchman feared that he would end up dead if he showed even the slightest bit of hesitation .

The tension in this place was so great that the poor guy was already near his breaking point .

Seeing that the man in his hands was nearing his breaking point, w.a.n.g Feng yelled louder, "Talk!"

"It"s Bei Enterprise . " The man finally broke under the tension . However, the instant he got the words out, the man felt a sharp pain in his chest . After that, the man"s eyes rolled to the back of his head as he blew out his final breath .

"Hm?" Realizing that the man in his hands had died almost instantly, w.a.n.g Feng looked behind the man .

The muscular man had somehow crept forward to stand behind the dead man before he clamped down on the guy"s waist with two hands . He had literally pinched a guy to death .

Using his X-ray vision, w.a.n.g Feng could tell that the dead man"s internal organs had been crushed . He had died almost instantly .

"Want to extort intel from us? In your dreams!" The muscular man yelled . He then formed two claws with his hands and took a swipe at w.a.n.g Feng .

Seeing the incoming attack, w.a.n.g Feng"s face turned cold as he prepared himself to make a move to defend himself . However, someone had beaten him to the punch . "Die!"

A loud and perceptible crack sounded . He Tian had already broken the attacker"s palm . The veins in the attacker"s arm bulged due to pain .

"Talk . Which person from Bei Enterprise is giving the orders?" He Tian stated coldly as he continued to hold the man . He Tian"s methods were no less weaker than w.a.n.g Feng"s .

The muscular man did not try to resist He Tian"s hold . "Haha . Keep dreaming if you think you can get anything out of us," he said . All of a sudden, the man"s body convulsed . After that, the man"s eyes went wide as he, too, blew out his last breath .

A dark streak of blood spilled out from the man"s mouth, carrying a foul stench with it .

"He died just like that?" He Tian stared at the man wide-eyed as if he had just seen a ghost .

Soon, He Tian realized what was going on . He tossed the dead man aside and tried to stop the remaining three men from doing the same . He was too late .

The remaining three men"s eyes widened almost simultaneously . They each died with a dark stream of blood flowing out of the corner of their lips . It was a shocking sight .

All five men had died so unbelievably fast .

"How did that happen?" w.a.n.g Feng could not help but be shocked by what he saw .

"Unless I"m mistaken, these guys have cyanide pills hidden in their tooth . It"s especially designed for them to take their own lives," He Tian said gravely . After that, He Tian opened the mouth of the muscular man . Indeed, there was a squashed tooth inside the man"s mouth .

It was the same as well for the other dead men . All of them died after they had crushed the cyanide pill hidden in their tooth . They had poisoned themselves to death .

These men were cruel even to themselves . No ordinary person would be capable of such suicidal acts .

Too bad these people had thrown away their puny lives before they could tell w.a.n.g Feng anything of value . Otherwise, w.a.n.g Feng would have gotten what he came for by now .

There was indeed someone else calling the shots behind these people . Shockingly, the mastermind turned out to be someone from Bei Enterprise . Whoever he or she was, w.a.n.g Feng feared that they had no way of finding out now . That fact annoyed w.a.n.g Feng to his core .

Bei Yunxue had always been on the side of Bei Enterprise . And yet now, the same people from Bei Enterprise were trying to take her out . A scowl formed on w.a.n.g Feng"s face at the thought .

"You guys deal with this place . Don"t leave any evidence behind," He Tian ordered . Then he led w.a.n.g Feng out of the factory .

Noticing the dark look on w.a.n.g Feng"s face, He Tian said slowly, "Brother, don"t worry . As long as it"s within the bounds of Zhu Hai City, my people can act as spies and infiltrate any organization . Something like this won"t happen again . "

w.a.n.g Feng forced out a laugh at He Tian"s comment . "Brother He, you shouldn"t worry too much about this . I"ll take full responsibility for Bei Yunxue"s safety . However, it seems like there"s a mole in your team . "

w.a.n.g Feng had uttered the last sentence in a cold and subdued tone .

"Humph . Don"t worry, I"m already aware of that . I"ll deal with it when I get back," He Tian said . He Tian already knew that there was a traitor among his men even if w.a.n.g Feng had not reminded him .

The intel provided to them claimed that the enemy had five, and at most, ten people . Instead, they had run into over 20 people . If w.a.n.g Feng had not warned them, their lives would have been in grave danger .

A look of surprise formed on He Tian"s face when he remembered w.a.n.g Feng"s warning earlier . "By the way, how did you discover the people hiding in the factory?" He asked .

"Don"t bother asking me that, brother . That"s my secret . You"ll understand it in time," w.a.n.g Feng said with a wave of his hand, clearly having no intention of giving any further explanation .

"Fine, then . " Since w.a.n.g Feng had no intention of telling him, He Tian decided to stop asking . Everyone had secrets after all . He Tian himself had a few secrets too . Rather than grilling w.a.n.g Feng relentlessly at the risk of angering w.a.n.g Feng, it would be better for He Tian to just pretend not to know anything .

They got on the Bentley . Without waiting for the rest of the men, He Tian drove w.a.n.g Feng back to No . 1 Zhu Cheng .

"One more thing, brother . I noticed that you"ve been training hard lately . I saw the way you fought today, and I think you"re not too far from the inner strength level now . Keep working hard and you"ll experience a giant leap in your skills," He Tian said . After that, he drove the Bentley away .

"Hey, brother," someone greeted w.a.n.g Feng just as he was about to enter the villa district . Someone came out of the security booth . It was the same person who had lent w.a.n.g Feng the motorcycle last night .

Staring at the middle-aged man, w.a.n.g Feng asked casually, "Can I help you?"

"It"s nothing . I just want to ask when you are free?" The middle-aged man"s face had an amiable expression as he spoke . Somehow, that look gave w.a.n.g Feng gooseb.u.mps .

"Could it be that you want me to replace your bike?"

"No . No, that"s not it," the middle-aged man said and quickly shook his head . "I just want you to teach me how to race . Last night was pretty d.a.m.n exciting . "

"Huh?" w.a.n.g Feng almost doubted his own hearing when he heard the other man"s request . Yesterday, that guy was practically scared out of his s.h.i.t . Heck, the man was practically dry-heaving by the time w.a.n.g Feng had stopped the bike .

Sensing w.a.n.g Feng"s reluctance, the man patted his chest and said, "I"m asking whether you"re willing to teach me how to race? Don"t worry . I"ll definitely pay you a fee . "

"You"re a street racer? Well, I didn"t see that coming at all . " w.a.n.g Feng let out a laugh . "Fine, then . I"ll let you know when I"m free . "

w.a.n.g Feng entered the villa district in huge and quick strides . The middle-aged man could only stare at his back .

The lights in the house were still on . w.a.n.g Feng opened the door and immediately saw Bei Yunxue sitting on the couch .

w.a.n.g Feng glanced to the left and then to the right . w.a.n.g Feng felt a bit hesitant . Why was she not asleep when it was already this late?

Bei Yunxue stood up when she saw w.a.n.g Feng . "What took you so long to come home?" She said sulkily .

"Haha . There"s been a hold-up . So I got back a bit late," w.a.n.g Feng said and then released a fake laugh .

"You have no idea how worried I was . I thought something had happened to you . " Bei Yunxue glared at w.a.n.g Feng angrily . "Good thing you"re back now . I was just about to call the cops . "

"Haha . It"s alright," w.a.n.g Feng said . The worried look on Bei Yunxue"s face brought a warm sensation into his heart . A woman was worrying about him back at home; she had stayed up and waited for his return despite how late it was . Where else could one find a woman as good as her?

He was blessed to have a woman like Sister Xue as his girlfriend .

"Stop trying to throw me off . Now hurry up and tell me what"s going on . You had this angry look today . You"re definitely hiding something from me," Bei Yunxue said, seemingly determined to get to the bottom of everything .

"Alright, then . I"ll tell you everything . " Although he had now found out that the mastermind was someone from Bei Enterprise, w.a.n.g Feng was still pretty much clueless about Bei Enterprise . In fact, he was hoping to ask Bei Yunxue about it .

"We caught the people behind the attempted robbery," w.a.n.g Feng said, catching Bei Yunxue slightly off guard . After that, she asked in confusion, "Isn"t money their only motive? How can there be a mastermind?"

It was reasonable doubt . What else if not for money that would drive a gang of robbers to rob jewelry stores or banks?

Shaking his head, w.a.n.g Feng laughed wryly . "Those robbers are merely p.a.w.ns . The mastermind is a very terrifying person . "

A worried look form on Bei Yunxue"s face at w.a.n.g Feng"s mention of several powerful people who were behind recent events . She reached out to grab w.a.n.g Feng"s shoulder . "Then are you injured?" She asked .

"What else can happen to me? I wouldn"t be back here if something happened," w.a.n.g Feng said with a wry smile .

"Then what about those people?"

"Dead," w.a.n.g Feng said with a shrug .

A change went across Bei Yunxue"s face . "Dead?"

A life for a life . That was the way of this society . Still, hearing about it had given Bei Yunxue quite a startle .

As if he had sensed Bei Yunxue"s worry, w.a.n.g Feng smiled and answered, "I didn"t kill him . He killed himself . "

Chapter 57 The True Mastermind

Just then, He Tian"s henchmen came in . "Big brother He, we"ve taken care of everyone outside . " Each of the henchmen was carrying a gasping, half-dead person in their arms; they were the few remaining a.s.sa.s.sins that w.a.n.g Feng and He Tian had left behind just now
