Chapter 946: Chapter 454: You Won’t Even Call Me Aunt Xia! _3

Slap!

The phone fell more than ten meters away.

One second,

Two seconds,

...

Just when Han Myeongki thought he had escaped, two arms suddenly shot out from the phone, like a poison snake capturing its prey, extremely fast.

"Li Zhenghe, save me!"

As soon as Han Myeongki finished shouting, one arm had already grabbed his face, covering his mouth and nose, and then another arm grabbed his neck and yanked him back.

"Mmph..."

Han Myeongki struggled, but it was of no use.

Li Zhenghe always maintained his authority in front of his subordinates, so he didn’t answer the phone immediately. Instead, he took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and now...

Li Zhenghe stared at the empty grand hall, looking at the five mobile phones left on the floor.

Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling!

The phone’s ringing continued.

Gulp!

Li Zhenghe swallowed, unsure whether to throw it away or not.

Slap!

The phone answered automatically.

"Is this Mr. Li Zhenghe?"

A woman’s voice, very polite, but Li Zhenghe felt as if this call was from Hell,

"Damn it!"

Li Zhenghe cursed, using all his strength, and threw it toward the ground.

Bang!

The phone hit the carpet, not breaking, a pair of arms, reaching out from the phone, grabbed his neck and head and started dragging him toward the phone.

"I always said not to lay carpet in the grand hall!"

Li Zhenghe closed his eyes,

and resigned himself to his fate.

...

Outside the grand hall, a black stretch armored car arrived, like a submarine sailing on land.

The driver got out, opened the door for Xia Hongmian who was on the phone.

Lin Baici moved to the passenger side, preparing to get in.

"Sit in the back!"

Xia Hongmian ordered.

Upon hearing this, the driver couldn’t help but glance at Lin Baici.

Only trusted individuals could sit beside Xia Hongmian.

Lin Baici settled in.

The car started and drove away from Gyeongbokgung Palace.

Apart from the driver, he didn’t see anyone else, but he guessed that Xia Hongmian probably didn’t come alone; otherwise, she would be too powerful.

Wait? Why is my hunger gone?

In such a short time, the security bureau couldn’t have killed everyone here and stolen all the top-grade "Taboo Things," could they?

Xia Hongyao hung up the phone, turned her head, and looked at Lin Baici.

Those eyes, like deep pools, Lin Baici felt as if he was drowning, sinking down continuously, no matter how he struggled, he couldn’t swim back up.

Should... Should I tell Red Medicine?"

Lin Baici spoke, breaking the atmosphere.

"You did very well, far beyond my expectations!"

Xia Hongmian revealed a smile, "What reward would you like?"

"I did it for myself too."

Lin Baici didn’t dare take all the credit.

"Think well, and tell me!"

Xia Hongmian leaned back in her seat, and fell silent.

"Thank you!"

Lin Baici had not expected Xia Hongmian to come to his rescue personally, and moreover, observing her demeanor, she even refrained from asking how the Busan Divine Being died or what had fallen.

So magnanimous!

"No need to thank me. Even without me, you could have safely walked out of here!"

Xia Hongmian’s smile brimmed with admiration as she said, "I underestimated you!"

Whether it was the crazy maid’s white stocking or Xia Qila, both were very strong cards.

His sister had really picked up a top-notch master!

Xia Hongyao touched the ring on her left hand.

It was a space forbidden item, holding the biggest haul of this trip.

...

Jin Xian looked anxious, but actually he was dawdling. When he arrived at the great hall and saw that many people had already gathered, nobody dared touch the bodies or the furnishings. Everyone was congregated in the corridor and at the entrance.

"All seven chief officials are dead!"

Jin Xian’s subordinate hurried over to report when he saw him.

"Hmm!"

Jin Xian pushed through the crowd and entered.

The scene immediately stirred, but it quickly calmed down again. Given the current situation, Jin Xian indeed had the authority to take charge.

In the room, corpses littered the floor. Apart from the dead Park Sangwon, the other six officials had disappeared without a trace, only their mobile phones dropped on the carpet.

"We checked the surveillance footage, and it should be Xia Hongmian’s doing," a subordinate whispered while following Jin Xian. "However, surveillance equipment is not allowed inside the great hall, and we don’t know what happened. The few surviving maids are all confused and have forgotten what occurred before."

Jin Xian waved his hand, indicating that his subordinate need not say more.

If Xia Hongmian wanted to make a move, cameras couldn’t capture anything. Naturally, Xia Hongmian killing so openly wasn’t just for show.

She had simply made a visit and conveniently dealt with these giants, throwing the God Hunters of Goryeo into internal strife and weakening their strength.

Xia Hongyao’s real goal was probably the God’s bones sealed beneath the Gyeongbokgung Palace!

It had to be said, she had chosen her timing well.

As the Qin Palace Divine Ruins was one of the Top Ten Divine Ruins of the Nine States, who wouldn’t want a share? Some of Sejong Zheng’s top warriors had also gone there.

Among those remaining, there were still some experts, but because the Busan Divine Ruins had been purified, they were all under the orders of the chief officials, out to intercept those God Hunters emerging from the ruins.

This resulted in Gyeongbokgung’s defense forces being significantly weakened.

When Jin Xian learned that Lin Baici had killed the Busan Divine Being, he had guessed this possible situation but said nothing.

Things turned out exactly as he had anticipated.

Jin Xian made a call, starting to get his subordinates into action.

Now, it was Jin Xian’s turn to reap the benefits, seizing this opportunity to become the sole giant of Sejong Zheng.

...

In Cheongdam-dong, in front of Kim Myungjin’s villa, an armored car stopped.

"Get ready, we’re going back home tomorrow!"

Lin Baici got off the car as Xia Hongmian gave him a heads-up.

"Hmm!"

Lin Baici acknowledged and then asked, "Aren’t you going to see Red Medicine?"

"No!"

Xia Hongmian laughed softly. She could imagine, if her sister saw her, she would definitely be ostentatious, her tail wagging to the skies.

Lin Baici waved goodbye and just as he reached the villa’s front gate, the door opened.

Hua Yue Yu and Kim Myungjin burst out.

"Xiao Bai!"

Hua Yue Yu cheered.

"Oppa!"

Kim Myungjin, tall and large-boned, pushed past Hua Yue Yu and was first to embrace Lin Baici.

"Brother Lin!"

Li Yintong ran out giggling and poked the Goryeo girl in the waist: "How long are you going to hug him? It’s my turn now!"

"Get ready to go back to the country tomorrow!"

Lin Baici planned to return, and with a few days left of the winter break, he had time to buy a villa first.

This could be considered a kind of uniform temptation, right?
