Chapter 790: Chapter 738: Top Secret

After reaching the Provincial City in the Southeast Province, it was already about eleven o’clock at night. Liu Hun arranged accommodations for Chu Mengyao before he and Yun Bo drove off into the night.

Yun Bo’s granddaughter was named Yun Xue, a senior about to graduate from Southeast University. The Du Family not only dominated in Huaihai Province but also had enterprises spread across several provinces, making it easy for Du Zhong to arrange a kidnapping of Yun Xue.

“Young master, I have protected you for so many years, do we have to be pushed to this extremity?” In the van, Yun Bo pleaded with Du Zhong with a hint of desperation in his expression.

“Old Yun, you have already betrayed our Du Family. What right do you have to say such things? And let me tell you, if anything happens to me, your granddaughter will surely join me in death!” Du Zhong coldly disregarded Old Yun’s pleas.

Ding ling ling.

The crisp sound of a cellphone ringtone echoed. Liu Hun quickly pulled out his phone and saw it was Xiao Liu calling; without hesitating, he pressed the answer button.

“What? You couldn’t find her?” Liu Hun spoke somewhat angrily into the phone.

A few moments later, Liu Hun hung up the phone, his expression gloomy. He had not expected that even Xiao Liu couldn’t locate Yun Xue’s whereabouts.

“I’ve told you before, but you wouldn’t believe it until you see the coffin. It’s no one’s fault but your own. If you let me go now, I might still tell you about the girl’s location.” Hearing Liu Hun’s earlier words, a smug look appeared in Du Zhong’s eyes.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Liu. I should not have dragged you into this mess…” Yun Bo said with a bitter smile, looking at Liu Hun.

By the time Yun Bo finished speaking, a cold glint flickered in Liu Hun’s eyes.

He had never expected the Du Family to have secretly trained a group of cultivators. Although their strength did not match Yun Bo’s, one cultivator could combat ten special forces soldiers, which was still extremely terrifying.

Clearly, the cultivators must have been behind keeping Yun Xue’s whereabouts hidden, a feat Xiao Liu could not counter.

“Liu Hun, it’s not too late to regret it now, or else I will make sure your entire family joins me in death,” Du Zhong continued.

Liu Hun ignored Du Zhong, glanced at Yun Bo, and calmly said, “Yun Bo, since you have kept your promise, I, Liu Hun, will definitely find your granddaughter’s whereabouts.”

“What can you do to find her? That’s a joke,” Du Zhong mocked; meanwhile, Yun Bo’s aged face held a forced smile as he nodded at Liu Hun.

Clearly, Yun Bo didn’t hold much hope either.

“Southeast Province is my territory, let’s just wait and see,” Liu Hun said coldly, glancing at Du Zhong.

Immediately afterward, Liu Hun took out his phone again and made another call. Less than ten minutes after he ended the call, a Mercedes pulled up to the scene.

After getting out of the car, Liu Hun saw the bald middle-aged man and smiled.

“Director Liu, what can I do for you?” Han Dafang looked at Liu Hun with a face full of ingratiating smiles.

“Director Han, I need a favor…” Before Liu Hun could finish, Han Dafang’s eyes brightened and he quickly said, “Just say the word, Director Liu. If it’s within my power, I won’t refuse.”

“My friend has gone missing, and I would like to ask Director Han to help issue a news report to be played every hour. Also, a banner must run across the bottom of the screen. Whoever provides information will be rewarded with ten million!” Liu Hun cut straight to the point without any pleasantries.

Hearing Liu Hun’s words, Han Dafang momentarily stilled but wasn’t too surprised. After all, Liu Hun had done something similar before. But in that previous incident, the police had been involved, so it was hard for him to refuse, but this time…

“Director Liu, this request is a bit tricky. After all, I don’t have the final say at the station, and if your friend is missing, you should contact the police…” Han Dafang looked troubled.

Facing Han Dafang’s tactful refusal, Liu Hun smiled and continued, “If she is found, I, Liu Hun, will personally give five million; additionally, I offer your station an exclusive interview with Alice, just not right now.”

“It’s a deal; I’ll make the call to arrange it,” Han Dafang readily agreed upon hearing Liu Hun’s terms: “As for the five million, there’s no need to give it to me, Director Liu. I just hope you’ll attend with Alice when the time comes…”

Seeing Han Dafang’s refusal, a hint of surprise flickered across Liu Hun’s eyes; five million was a substantial sum that most people wouldn’t refuse so outright.

Yet Han Dafang had done just that.

The reason Liu Hun didn’t want to bother Chen Wen this time was naturally because of the cultivators. If the matter got leaked, there would be more trouble to follow. Rather than that, it was better to spend some effort seeking Han Dafang’s help.

After Han Dafang left, Liu Hun took Yun Bo and Du Zhong to a small hotel to stay temporarily; as soon as they turned on the TV, the three of them saw the news report broadcast there.

The time happened to be around eleven o’clock, and many people in the city were still awake; naturally, they caught sight of the news report at first glance.

Instantly, the nation was in an uproar; the chairman of Tianhe Group was offering a substantial reward for the second time. Although they weren’t surprised by his actions, the ten million was worth their efforts.

Whether it was other TV stations or online news platforms, coverage swept over like a tidal wave; residents of Southeast Province who were still awake rushed out to help Liu Hun search for Yun Xue’s whereabouts.

“Thinking that a news piece alone would lead them to find the person is far too whimsical,” Du Zhong watched the news report on TV and scoffed.

His sarcasm gave Yun Xue’s grandfather not even the slightest bit of confidence.

Yet, less than half an hour after the news was released, a harsh sound emanated from Liu Hun’s phone.

By the time Liu Hun put down the phone, the corners of his mouth slightly curved upwards.

“Found…found her?” Yun Xue’s grandfather looked at Liu Hun’s smiling face, his voice even trembling a bit.

“Let’s go, after all, I’m not too certain. Let’s go and see,” Liu Hun nodded at Yun Xue’s grandfather; although someone had just called saying that he saw a few people in black taking the girl in the photo into a residential building, Liu Hun hadn’t confirmed it and didn’t want to give Yun Xue’s grandfather too much hope.

Rushing by car to the residential building mentioned by the informant, Liu Hun glanced around at the densely packed and decrepit buildings; it was unthinkable that a group of cultivators would hide in such a wretched place.

“Mr. Liu, it was right here that I saw them enter this building last night,” a middle-aged man said to Liu Hun, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan, his face appearing somewhat excited.

If this were true, the ten million would be securely his. Living in such a place, where most are laborers, suddenly receiving ten million could rightly be described as overnight riches.

Thinking back to when Liu Hun first woke up, selling two bottles of Great Yang Pill for two million had made him overjoyed, not to mention the feelings of the robust man before him.

“Can you tell me more about the situation?” Liu Hun regarded the building ahead, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

The building was only about two stories tall, with the front door securely locked; it was nearly impossible to see inside.

“I didn’t pay much attention. Their clothes were similar to ours, but they seemed to have come here around July or August of last year, leaving early and returning late every day. Nobody knew what they were doing; once, a villager out of curiosity asked them and got beaten up. After that, no one dared to provoke them anymore,” the robust man said, his eyes showing a hint of dread, as if he was still a bit haunted by the memory.

“Um, I understand, thank you. If the information turns out to be true, I will make sure that you get that ten million,” Liu Hun nodded.

After the man left, Liu Hun looked at Yun Xue’s grandfather next to him, his brows tightly knitted, his face filled with anxiety and worry. He thought about asking Yun Xue’s grandfather why the Du Family had placed these people here, but decided against it.

“Let’s wait until we rescue Yun Xue and then ask,” Liu Hun sighed inwardly.

Liu Hun and Yun Xue’s grandfather exchanged glances, and then Liu Hun said, “Yun Xue’s grandfather, you take care of the first floor, I’ll handle the second floor. Remember, spare no one, or else it’ll forever be a threat. When the time comes, just spill this on the bodies.”

“If they really are the Du Family’s people, if we kill them, then we might have trouble with the Du Family…” Yun Xue’s grandfather said, somewhat worried.

Seeing Yun Xue’s grandfather worried about causing trouble at this moment, Liu Hun couldn’t help but chuckle, “In this world, if you want to gain something, you must pay the corresponding price, right? Saving Yun Xue is worth it for me.”

After saying that, Liu Hun walked towards the building, but did not tell Yun Xue’s grandfather that he now possessed all the criminal evidence against Du Zhong, which gave him confidence; Du Zhong being the scion of the Du Family’s third generation, Liu Hun believed the Du Family definitely would not want this evidence disclosed, so he was not worried about it.

Arriving behind the house, Liu Hun performed several flips, his body pressed against a window on the second floor, his eyes scanning the inside.

The second floor consisted of a few small rooms, each with just a bed, and beyond that, not even a television—no wonder they were still unaware of the sensational news circulating throughout the country.

In the largest room, a pretty girl was tied to a chair.

This girl looked exactly like the one in the photo Yun Xue’s grandfather had given him; she was indeed Yun Xue. After examining Yun Xue carefully and seeing she was just unconscious and otherwise unharmed, Liu Hun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After scanning all the rooms, there were about five or six middle-aged men on the second floor. Although they weren’t very strong, due to Yun Xue’s presence, if Liu Hun acted rashly, he was worried about potential accidents.

“Clang!” Just then, a loud noise suddenly erupted from the first floor, followed by one of the suited middle-aged men angrily exclaiming, “Damn it!”

“Japanese?” Upon hearing this, Liu Hun was taken aback.

But at that moment, Liu Hun could not afford to be distracted. Two men went downstairs to check the situation, and the rest were drawn by the noise from below. Liu Hun flipped into the room.

“Swoosh…” Three iron spikes, without any mishap, pierced the foreheads of three men, and the remaining suited Japanese quickly reacted, pulling out a handgun from his waist.

Before he could shoot, Liu Hun’s body was already upon him, his hands gripping the man’s arm like iron pincers and bending it sharply at ninety degrees.

“Crack!” The man hadn’t even had a chance to scream before Liu Hun grabbed his head, gently twisted it, and he died instantly.

After killing several men, Liu Hun took a bottle of liquid from his pocket and dripped it on their bodies, which promptly dissolved into nothingness.

“Shoot… how could I forget to check the Japanese man’s pockets just now? The Du Family hiding these cultivators here certainly wasn’t well-intentioned…” After finishing all this, Liu Hun smacked his head, immediately feeling some regret.

Then, he quickly walked downstairs, saw that the remaining few people had also disappeared, and knew they must have been dealt with by Yun Xue’s grandfather on the scene.

However, what Liu Hun didn’t realize was that because of this oversight, he would soon face numerous deadly situations and edge close to death multiple times.
