The metal doors to a small building pushes open as a man clothe in all black steps inside. He brought in with him the night breeze and the lights of the lampposts outside to s.h.i.+ne the streets.
This building was dimly lit inside with emptiness like no one has cleaned the place nor step foot inside. Specks of dusts floated in the air as men in black tactical gears held their guns in position in alert.
However, their alertness did not direct at the man who suddenly entered. Neither were their guns pointed at him but out the windows with caution for suspicious movements outside.
"Captain."
A man calls out as he walks over to his captain. Unlike the other men, this man was not holding a gun, but his hands was covered in blood without wound.
Lu Tian looks at the man then in a certain direction. He hands the bag of food he bought from Jiangyu and Yiqing to the man before walking over to the direction he looked.
The place had little light, but in one corner of the room, a light s.h.i.+ne down on a woman with red hair. Her hands were tied behind her back and legs bound to the chair.
Her face was swollen and covered in bruises as blood trickle down her lips. There were fresh blood and dried blood smeared all over her body.
And this person is Chu Li Xiang"s woman, Julia.
Lu Tian leisurely walks over to the woman. His expression the same as usual, but the darkness in his eyes darkened into a black hole that can engulf anyone"s soul into a deep abyss.
"Where is he hiding?"
Julia hung her head low at the exhaustion of having been beaten numerous times by the members of Wolf Team.
When she heard Lu Tian"s deep voice suddenly speak, her shoulders jumped in fright. Her eyes lifts to see the man and when she met his eyes, all the colors on her face drained.
Before she was captured, they had carefully planned everything out. Chu Li Xiang"s men were hiding in the most unnoticeable places and she was sent to disguise as an employee of Beauty to get inside.
Usually, she can sneak in and out of any place without anyone noticing her, yet, who would have though that Beauty"s CEO Wu Jing pays so much attention to his employees. He spotted her the moment she stepped through those doors.
With her plan failing, she escaped Wu Jing"s security guard and fortunately ran into an odd elderly couple selling food.
However, to her dismay, that elderly couple turned out to be Lu Tian"s men!!
She tried to run, but the old man quickly press her acupuncture points with needles. She didn"t even notice the needles until she realized she couldn"t move a muscle.
Thus, she ended up being captured and beaten for details she does not plan to tell. However, suspecting that she might bite her tongue, they stuffed a rag inside her mouth.
Staring up at the ruthless man known to everyone in the underworld, Julia turns her head away with a m.u.f.fle that seems to be a "hmmf." Her gesture was clear that she would not snitch.
Her att.i.tude did not anger Lu Tian one bit. He wave his hand to signal one of his subordinates.
"Yes Captain."
A member of Wolf Team quickly nods his head in understanding. He walks over to Julia and without any gentle manners, he grabs hold of her disheveled red hair and pulls it down making her head draw back to look at the ceiling.
Julia"s eyes tremble in wideness as her vision is quickly blocked. Before she even breathe, water poured endlessly over her.
"Mm! Mm!"
Her horrifying m.u.f.fled echo into the empty building. However, no cared or pitied the woman. No matter how much she struggles, she was tightly tied to the chair.
With her mouth gaged by the rag, she could only breathe through her nose, but each time she tries to catch a breath, water continuously enters her nostrils.
After a long minute pa.s.ses by, the member of Wolf Team finally stops. He removes the cloth and takes the rag out of her mouth. He then shoves her head to face his boss. Doing so, he takes a step back and wait for further instructions.
Julia felt like she had escaped deaths door only to return to death itself again. Without a care, she heavily breathes in all the air she could.
Her red hair drenched wet and even more disheveled than before. However, she tells herself to keep holding on. As Chu Qiang"s right hand woman, she"s been in far more crucial situations than this and still made it out alive.
Knowing what the woman was thinking, Lu Tian did not care. He stood unmoving and takes a cigarette out. As he lit the cigarette, his lips part to speak.
"Where is he?"
"I"ll never tell you!"
Julia spat out her words through her clench teeth. Her eyes glaring at Lu Tian as if wanting to stab the man over and over.
Hearing her words, Lu Tian blows a puff of smoke out and signals with one finger to his subordinates.
"Bring him in."
Hearing his words, two men from Wolf Team nod their head and leaves the building. However, Julia"s eyes widen with a confused expression and worry.
Did Chu Li Xiang get captured?
No… That"s not possible.
She sneers at the business king and spots blood to the ground. Her gesture was not ladylike, but she did not care. With her current situation, what"s there to be ladylike?
"Bring him in. I know it"s not Li Xiang. You wouldn"t be interrogating me if you already have—"
Before she could say the word "him", her eyes widens as the two men from Wolf Team enters the building again. The two men was carrying a man who was in a far worse condition than her.
Seeing the man"s horrible condition, her heart shook uncontrollably like thunder in the sky on a rainy day.
How… Why…
