Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Murder and Seize Life

Yanking her sleeve fiercely from Li Lihua’s grip, the old lady of the Lin Family left expressionlessly. The rest of the Lin family followed closely behind, with Lin Shichang and Lin Mengchen trailing at the back. Not a single person spared a glance at Li Lihua, who stood by the roadside, lost and disheartened.

What happened at the foot of the mountain with the Lin Family no longer concerned Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao because Lin Mengyao had resigned entirely from Lin Corporation, deciding to strike out on her own, and Xu Ke’s injuries had nearly healed, allowing him to walk freely.

"I’m going out today and might be back late, don’t wait for me for dinner." Xu Ke said, ruffling Lin Mengyao’s hair.

"Okay, come back early." Lin Mengyao yawned, revealing a tired smile.

"Take care of yourself, don’t overwork, and don’t worry too much; everything will turn around eventually." Xu Ke said softly, noticing the dark circles under Lin Mengyao’s eyes. Seeing her perfunctory nod, he flashed a helpless smile, reluctantly took one last look at Mengyao, and turned to leave.

Once he stepped out of the villa gates, the smile on Xu Ke’s face was replaced by a gloomy heaviness. His gentle aura instantly turned sharp and domineering as a steel blade, warding off anyone daring to come near. This was the Xu Ke who Long Ge saw.

Long Ge, always casual and easy-going, was infected by Xu Ke’s intensity, turning noticeably serious and solemn.

At this time, Xu Ke and Long Ge sat in the largest money-wasting den in Luo City, Jinwan Hall, "How goes the investigation I tasked you with?" Xu Ke asked, leaning against the sofa, his voice cold and unvarying.

"Everything’s clear. Tonight, Ye Tu’s brat will come here with ten bodyguards; two will follow closely, and the other eight will stand guard outside. Room 316 is his exclusive booth, and the bodyguards are armed." Long Ge reported every bit of the intelligence he gathered to Xu Ke, then took a gulp from the table’s drink and continued, "With this manpower, are you sure about taking action?"

"I would not be a gentleman if I don’t avenge this." Xu Ke pushed away the drink Long Ge handed him, speaking coldly, his eyes filled with unmistakable murderous intent, "And taking him down sooner would benefit you too. How can we let an outsider sleep soundly beside our bed? Luo City has been divided long enough; it needs consolidation." As he spoke, Xu Ke’s gaze locked onto Long Ge, determination and resolve shining in his eyes.

Long Ge looked into Xu Ke’s eyes, silent for a moment before sighing, "Between us brothers, you’re always the most decisive, and I can’t persuade you. The best I can do is draw away the eight bodyguards outside to ease your pressure, but you’ll have to handle those inside on your own. Oh, and Ye Tu’s brat used to be a boxer, not lacking in skill."

"That’s enough information, thank you." Xu Ke patted Long Ge on the shoulder.

Time passed swiftly, and Long Ge’s booked room was separated by one from Ye Ge’s. Xu Ke checked his wristwatch, confirming that Ye was already in room 316. He stood from the sofa, stretched his limbs, and walked towards the balcony.

"What, you’re not heading out through the door, why are you going to the balcony?" Long Ge noticed Xu Ke’s preparation for action and was surprised to find him opting for the balcony instead of the door. He watched in disbelief as Xu Ke stood on the balcony railing, a heart-stopping sight, as though he might fall off at any moment.

"You don’t intend to take the balcony way, do you? Are you out of your mind? This is the twenty-fifth floor, you fall, you’re dead. Give me half an hour, I swear I’ll clear the two bodyguards at the door, alright?" Long Ge whispered angrily, cautioning against Xu Ke’s dangerous move.

Seeing Long Ge’s nervous demeanor, Xu Ke chuckled mischievously, "Don’t you believe in my skills? Just watch." No sooner had Xu Ke finished speaking did he spring nimbly from his spot, like an agile cat, and leapt to the adjacent balcony, landing lightly and silently, to Long Ge’s astonished gaze.

Reaching the neighboring balcony, Xu Ke waved to the weak-kneed Long Ge and used the same method to get to the balcony of Ye Ge’s room.

This time, Xu Ke’s smile vanished completely, and the intense killing intent enveloped him like a thick cocoon.

On the balcony, Xu Ke didn’t act rashly; instead, he adjusted his breathing, lowering his presence to the barest minimum. He listened intently for a while, and only after confirming no sound from inside did he place his hand on the doorknob, slowly turning it open.

When Xu Ke moved from the balcony to the living room, he finally heard some chatter — a woman’s teasing voice interspersed with rhythmic slaps. Crouching behind the sofa, Xu Ke could see the partially open master bedroom door and two bodyguards with guns standing vigilantly.

Xu Ke licked his lips, guessing their distance with his eyes, then sketched it out several times in his mind before reaching for his back, drawing two Butterfly Knives from his waist.

As Xu Ke flung the Butterfly Knives, the two bodyguards heard the sound and turned towards Xu Ke’s direction, guns poised. They wanted to shout something, but it was too late. Their pupils contracted fiercely, leaving no time to dodge, and they helplessly watched as the gleaming objects shot towards their heads the next second.

They didn’t even have time to scream before losing control, toppling forward onto the floor. As the light extinguished in their eyes, they only caught a glimpse of Xu Ke leaping from behind the sofa towards them.

Before the two bodyguards hit the ground, Xu Ke caught their bodies and gently laid them down without a sound. The sounds from inside continued, oblivious to the approaching danger.

Xu Ke rose, intending to head towards the bedroom, but the thought of the bodyguards at the door made him reconsider. After throwing a deep look at the bedroom, Xu Ke turned towards the entrance.

"Ding!" Locking the door at the entrance, a faint smile tugged at Xu Ke’s lips as he proceeded lightly towards the bedroom.

"Little minx, scream once more!" Ye Ge’s hand mercilessly slapped the woman’s body. His face was flushed, wearing a menacing and pleased expression. Beneath him, the woman squirmed seductively, letting out soft cries, prompting Ye Ge to smack her a few more times uncontrollably.
