Chapter 732: Chapters 728-729: He’s Really Lucky

"One day, I will surely return!"

As the plane gradually ascended, Li Zhengyi’s gaze locked onto the G City outside the window, now becoming a tiny speck. His fists tightened slowly, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins, "Zhao Yuhua, bumpkin, and Beichen Feng, just wait for it. One day, I will come back to deal with each of you, one by one!"

Uncle Hua, seated next to him, stared at the city below as it blurred into the distance. The plane soared steadily into the sky, and finally, the tension eased from his face. He let out a breath as if he had released all his pent-up pressure.

.............................................

Just as Uncle Hua and Li Zhengyi disappeared into the boarding gate, dozens of kilometers away on the airport expressway, a car with a unique shape, missing half of its rearview mirror, its body paint scraped and mottled, sped forward like a crazed rocket.

The gas pedal was pressed to the floor, the engine working at its maximum capacity, roaring and groaning as if in protest...

Along the way, the car weaved through the dense traffic like a drunken man, swaying and zigzagging forward. Each maneuver was an incredibly close call, barely dodging the other vehicles on the road.

He was unwilling to delay even a single second, for each second wasted could bring an endless string of future troubles!

He could never have imagined that what he thought was an assassination attempt on himself had led him to the assassins responsible for Chen Jianguo’s murder case, which he had been investigating without any leads. At first, when he faced the two assassins, he hadn’t connected the dots until he had them both in his grip. Looking at one of them, he suddenly recalled the descriptions he had heard from Chen Jianguo and Liu Yuan, and recognized them.

Under Xiao Yi’s silver needles, without any surprises, they confessed everything quite readily—all Xiao Yi wanted to hear about how they planned and attempted the assassination of Chen Jianguo, even reciting the details of the attack.

At the same time, they revealed information Xiao Yi hadn’t anticipated. For example, Li Zhengyi’s surname wasn’t actually Li, but Zheng—he was the illegitimate son of the current head of the Zheng family... and so on...

When he heard from one of the assassins that the previous attempt on Chen Jianguo’s life had also been orchestrated by Li Zhengyi and Uncle Hua, Xiao Yi was almost stunned, thinking he had heard wrong!

Li Zhengyi attempting to assassinate him didn’t surprise Xiao Yi—as a man, he was anything but simple and was certainly not one to use his expertise for humanitarian purposes. It was totally his style to erase a few people from this world. Moreover, he and Li Zhengyi had deep-seated enmity; Xiao Yi had never expected Li Zhengyi to repay his grievances with kindness...

However, Li Zhengyi trying to assassinate Chen Jianguo—that was something Xiao Yi truly didn’t understand. As far as he was concerned, he and Chen Jianguo didn’t even know each other...

But he didn’t dwell on this confusion for long, as the two men soon provided him with the answer. "Money for murder" was a fitting reason. Li Zhengyi operated an Assassin Organization behind the scenes...

Everything became clear then—Li Ziyoung paid the money, and Li Zhengyi facilitated the murder...

After learning the truth, his first reaction was that Li Zhengyi absolutely couldn’t be allowed to leave; he had to deal with this formidable adversary!

Once he confirmed from their mouths that Li Zhengyi and Uncle Hua, the masterminds behind the chaos, were at the airport, ready to leave the country, he immediately dropped those fellows and rushed back into his car, hurtling towards the airport...

His intuition told him he had to stop these two, no matter what. He couldn’t let the tigers return to the mountain!

He had a strong gut feeling that once Li Zhengyi left, he would continue to cause plenty of trouble. And this guy was definitely a big trouble!

After breezing past the traffic police roadblocks, Xiao Yi didn’t pause for a second and unleashed his full speed toward the airport terminal not far ahead...

Delay the flight, delay the flight. The flight should be delayed. It must be delayed. Eighty percent of flights at the airport are delayed or postponed...

As he ran desperately, Xiao Yi silently prayed within his heart. For the first time since he had become accustomed to flights, he didn’t mind the delays at all, but instead, he intensely hoped for the flight to be postponed!

"Hello, excuse me, can you tell me at which boarding gate is the flight to M Country, the XXXX flight?"

Stepping into the bustling airport terminal, Xiao Yi quickly looked around and then decisively approached a staff member in uniform, speaking with an urgent tone in his eyes.

"Ah, sir, did you just arrive at the airport? That flight has already taken off, it took off more than ten minutes ago!"

The airport staffer looked at Xiao Yi’s anxious face, immediately showing a look of surprise.

"Taken off?"

Xiao Yi’s expression froze completely, his facial muscles seemingly turning to stone instantaneously, standing there utterly dumbfounded.

I was late, the plane had taken off, I let him get away...

In Xiao Yi’s mind, this sentence kept echoing hollowly.

This outcome meant that all his efforts had been in vain. He had come here so desperately, even going so far as to defy law enforcement, just to stop them!

How could this be, why wasn’t the flight delayed?

Disheartened, Xiao Yi lowered his head and weakly swung his fist, showing a deep look of disappointment on his face.

Could it really be that this guy’s fate wasn’t sealed yet?

Xiao Yi knew that letting the other party go this time would bring him endless troubles in the days to come. It wouldn’t be so easy to deal with him later...

But he had truly done everything he could. From the moment he received the news, he had not delayed and rushed to the airport as fast as he could like a madman... But to his dismay, he still didn’t make it in time!

"Sir, did you miss your flight? That’s really a shame, but it’s okay, you don’t need to be so upset. Have you rebooked yet? If not, you still have a chance to get a rebooking, though it might cost you..."

The airport staff lady saw Xiao Yi standing there with a face full of disappointment and thought he was distressed about missing his flight, so she couldn’t help but speak up to console him.

"I know, thank you."

Listning to the staff member’s voice, Xiao Yi finally came back to his senses, lifted his head, and seeing the concern on the lady’s face, he knew she had misunderstood him. But he didn’t bother to explain. Instead, he just smiled gratefully at her and turned to slowly walk away, leaving the airport terminal.

Alas... Poor kid, tickets for such a long flight, that plane, usually don’t have discounts, and most importantly, it was an international route. I wonder if it will affect his visa over there. No wonder he seemed so upset, such a pity!

The airport staff member watched Xiao Yi walk towards the airport entrance like a lost soul, shook her head, and a look of sympathy emerged in her eyes.

Li Zhengyi, this time, you were lucky to escape. I hope when you return, you’d better behave. Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to go directly to the United States. If I want to kill someone, even the U.S. government can’t stop me!

Reaching the airport entrance, Xiao Yi looked back, glanced at the airport behind him and the direction above, clenched his fists, and a cold murderous intent flickered in his eyes. If Li Zhengyi continued with the assassination, it wouldn’t matter, but if he turned back to go after Chen Jianguo, that was something Xiao Yi couldn’t tolerate. Even if it was at the ends of the earth, he would kill him!

After a while, Xiao Yi gradually calmed down, turned his head back, and looked at the exit ahead. He hesitated for a moment but finally decided to just take a taxi and leave instead. He didn’t want to run into the traffic police again. What happened this time was indeed his fault, and judging by the angry expressions of those policemen just now, it would probably be a lot of trouble if he went out now, possibly even causing unnecessary conflicts and hassle. It was better to trouble Liu Yuan to deal with it.

For such matters, Liu Yuan should have more experience in handling them than he did...

"How about it, did you find that guy?"

Just as Xiao Yi’s figure had just emerged from one of the airport’s exits, at another exit’s corridor, several men in police uniforms finally rushed in, panting, scanning their surroundings.

After looking around, the leading man turned to his companions with a hint of expectancy in his eyes.

"No, nothing."

The subordinates panted while looking helplessly at their superior.

"This is preposterous, can he fly or what? Search! No matter what, we must find him!"

The leading man hadn’t expected that the skinny-looking guy could run so fast, managing to throw them off in an instant. As he thought about how several strong police officers couldn’t catch up with someone who seemed weak and frail, the more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. His gaze swept the hall, growing even angrier, and he barked an order at his subordinates.

The subordinates opened their mouths as if to say something but considering their superior’s temper, they exchanged glances and resignedly turned to continue the pursuit. However, they had little hope. With so many people in the airport terminal, even without people, just the buildings alone would make it too easy to hide someone. What’s more, who knows if that person might have already left on a plane?

The man, however, didn’t think so much. After giving his orders, he took a deep breath and started patrolling the hall non-stop, occasionally stopping someone to ask and describe, determined in his heart that he had to catch that guy no matter what.

However, after making a full round of the waiting hall and even attracting the attention of the airport staff, who interfered by sending out many security and employees to help him inquire and search around, he still found no trace. Finally, with no other option, he had to return to his original spot.
