Chapter 560: Chapter 553: The Death of Nangong Shui

Shao Huo was inherently a person of deep cunning, only formerly suppressed and struck down. Now, with the backing of Lin Zifeng, that fierce determination within him had invisibly begun to flourish.

Finally, amidst Shao Huo’s impassioned and soaring words, someone started to gather the courage to step in front of the gangster, picking up a brick from the ground and slowly approaching.

Not only was the gangster terrified, but so were his underlings, alarmed by the scene that unfolded before them.

"Smash it down!" Shao Huo pointed at the gangster’s arm pinned underfoot, demanding that the student bring the brick down.

"I, I’m wrong, isn’t that enough? Lord Shao, Lord Shao, I know I’ve erred, please spare me, I will never come to harass you again, please let me go," the gangster began crying and begging for mercy, but Shao Huo’s cold face remained unmoved.

He had killed before, so what was crippling a hand in comparison?

Seeing this, Lin Zifeng could only helplessly shake his head. Shao Huo’s ruthlessness indeed exceeded his expectations, and perhaps, it was this exact mercilessness that was needed.

...

Inside a seaside villa’s grand hall, a man with an unfathomable expression sat with his eyes closed, swaying a glass of ’82 Lafite in his hand. Although an ’82 Lafite was not extremely rare, the man seemed to be particularly fond of its flavor.

The hall’s interior design was inspired fully by the grand chambers of ancient European royal palaces, emanating luxury while also exuding an air of elegance.

The man stood silently in the hall for over ten minutes.

Dressed in a black Sun Yat-sen suit that made his slender figure appear extremely upright.

A sinister aura lingered around his stern face.

Finally, the man slowly opened his eyes, his indifferent voice laced with a husky undertone, asking, "Have the masterminds behind the attack on our Dragon Roar Association been identified yet?"

"We have been working very hard..."

"So you haven’t found them yet?" the man interrupted.

"But the other party is really too secretive. Apart from those dozen or so corpses, we’ve already reviewed the entire distribution of Huaxia’s underground forces and truly cannot determine which organization they come from. However, I noticed that their shoulder patches depict a divine dragon, thus I suspect they are linked to Huaxia’s Dragon Team."

"Huaxia Dragon Team?" The man’s broad eyebrows knitted slightly before he turned with a smile, "It seems you’ve exerted great effort. Come, drink this wine."

"Thank you, Boss." The underling appeared somewhat flattered, but without hesitation, he took the glass and had barely drunk half.

The man’s smiling face suddenly turned cold.

Suddenly, a large hand struck out in an instant.

"Pop...!"

The glass shattered, and the underling behind him slumped to the floor, his mouth mangled and bloody from the broken glass.

After twitching on the ground for a moment, he lay still.

Wiping the blood from his hand with a handkerchief, the man’s eyes shone like stars, his deep, star-filled gaze turning towards the window as he murmured, "Is it really the Dragon Team?"

...

After a week of hardship, Shao Huo had changed enormously. Though he still appeared carefree on the surface, compared to his formerly weak self, he had indeed made significant progress.

Even Qiu Dongwei now followed behind Shao Huo, calling him ’boss’ left and right.

But in Shao Huo’s heart, Lin Zifeng’s status remained unchanged.

During that week, the thugs from the East District’s 13K also often troubled Shao Huo.

Fortunately, the guy was quite smart, having organized all the students who were usually bullied at Yunhai University, and gradually, a small gang began to take shape.

However, each time Shao Huo mentioned dominating the East District to Lin Zifeng, Lin Zifeng merely smiled indifferently.

Shao Huo was aware that Lin Zifeng’s identity was extraordinary, but he never dared to ask, and Lin Zifeng never told.

"Are you kidding me? You think a bunch of students who formed a little gang can go to war with street thugs who live off bloodshed?"

Being young is good, but to think you can achieve great things just by being passionate is utter nonsense!

Lin Zifeng was of course not foolish enough to reveal his identity as the leader of the Shadow Group, wanting to preserve the boy’s peaceful life.

Knowing too much would actually be of no benefit to him.

...

During this week at the company, besides Sun Xiaonao causing some headaches, Lin Zifeng had a fairly good time.

Wearing the tall hat of head of the security department, wherever he went, everyone had to address him respectfully as "Department Head," which sounded very prestigious.

But today, as soon as Nangong Bing had started her workday, she heard some terrible news!

Just as the two of them entered the company, Su Ni and a group of junior police officers had already been waiting at Tianyu for some time.

"What’s happened?" Nangong Bing furrowed her brows.

Seeing hundreds of people standing silently in front of the Tianyu entrance, heads bowed and not uttering a word.

And there was Su Ni with an expression of deep sorrow, yet no one spoke.

"Hey, Officer Su, what brings you here so early? Why have you brought them along, are they planning to revolt or strike?"

Lin Zifeng casually pointed to the several hundred people surrounding them.

Is this supposed to be a mass rebellion or a strike?

Su Ni glanced at him, staring deeply at Nangong Bing with a face full of anguish and said, "Miss Nangong Bing, please prepare yourself."

"What happened?" Nangong Bing suddenly felt a chill in her heart, an ominous premonition instantly flooding her mind.

She didn’t know what could have happened that would bring the police to Tianyu Group. Could it be something to do with the company?

"Miss Nangong Bing, last night we, the Zhonghai City Police Department, received notification that your father unfortunately met with an accident abroad." Su Ni was very reluctant to deliver this news.

Boom—!

Nangong Bing’s mind exploded at that moment, feeling a blankness inside her head.

She lost all the strength that supported her and collapsed.

Luckily, Lin Zifeng was quick to react and caught Nangong Bing before she fell.

"What in the world happened?" Lin Zifeng’s eyes also instantly filled with endless murderous intent.

"Speak up! What exactly happened?" Lin Zifeng roared.

Not only was Nangong Bing’s mind a blank, Lin Zifeng was also completely shocked!

The news instantly made Lin Zifeng think of the night Nangong Shui suddenly returned and then disappeared just as suddenly. Especially the strange things Nangong Shui had discussed with him that evening.

And the claim that he told Lin Zifeng to take good care of his daughter—could that have been his last words?

"Last night, our Zhonghai City Police Headquarters received a phone call from the official at the Embassy in South America, saying that Mr. Nangong had unfortunately passed away in South America. We are deeply saddened by this and hope that Miss Nangong Bing can restrain her grief," Su Ni said, finding it hard to continue.

After all, losing one’s father is something that no one can easily accept.

"Where is the body?!" Lin Zifeng shouted.

Su Ni didn’t speak, and once again, everyone silently bowed their heads.
