BXBX NOVEL Chapter 870: Something is not right
"I\'ll take a team and handle them, you guys stay here." Huang then made his way towards the stairs with his team.
When the guards, who were huddled around the door suddenly started coming forward, Zian muttered, "Something is not right."
"Lawrence, he is running away," Ashton panickstrickenly exclaimed when he saw him limping towards the woods through the window.
Taking cover, Zian made his way towards Zixin. "You need to go and get him. Take guards with you."
Without wasting any time, Zixin rushed out along with the guards.
...
Outside.
With a gun in his hand, Lawrence was limping his way out as fast as he could. By the time he realized that his base had been ambushed, it was already very late to take any action. His team was very weak at the moment and couldn\'t stand against the attacker. So the wisest thing to do was to run away and save his life which he did.
"Stop right there Lawrence." Zixin shouted. "Stop before I shoot you."
Despite the warning, he kept walking further away. He knew who it was, how could he not recognize the voice of his own nephew?
"I am giving you one last chance, stop." Despite the third warning when he did not stop, Zixin pulled the trigger and shot his left leg.
Groaning in pain, Lawrence collapsed on the floor. Letting go off the gun, he held his leg with both his hands with his teeth gritted tightly.
Glaring at Zixin with bloodshot eyes, he yelled, "You are just like your father but much more sly than him. Just like you father, you also want to get rid of me but I will not let that happen. I will never give anyone the satisfaction of getting rid of me. NEVER."
Before Zixin could say anything, Lawrence picked up his gun and shot him right. The bullet pierced right through his skull killing him straight away.

FOUR MONTHS LATER
Li mansion
Pacing back forth in front of the living room, Singtan was impatiently waiting for Yumi and Zixin.
"Singtan will you sit down for a while?" Ming frowned.
"Seriously dad, you need to chill. Sister Yumi said she will be here very soon," Qiang added.
"She told this half an hour ago, why aren\'t they here yet?" Scrunching his brows, he added, "They live in the same neighbourhood, how long does it take to come here?"
Helplessly shaking her head, Ming sighed, "I can\'t—" Getting up, she remarked, "You are becoming more and more unbelievable as you are growing old Li Singtan, I don\'t know what to do with you." Without waiting for his reply, she walked away.
"Babe, did you just call me old?" Running after her, he complained, "How can you say that?"
"Where are you guys going? Sister Yumi will be here any minute now." Looking at the direction Singtan and Ming left, Qiang chuckled, "I don\'t know what to do with my parents."
"Well, you should be happy they are still the same and nothing has changed between them even after being married for so many years." Wrapping his arms around her shoulder, Guang smiled, "I want our relationship to stay the same even after thirty or fifty years."
Leaning against his shoulder, Qiang smiled, "Yes but I am not sure what will happen after—" Caressing her stomach, she chuckled, "After these two join us."
"The other day, dad was telling me how things change after the baby comes. And we are talking about two babies here, not even one," he sighed.
"Sleepless nights, feeding schedule, changing diaper all the time and—"
Cutting her off, Ben added, "Running to the doctor all the time."
Looking at Ben, Qiang remarked, "You are here, I didn\'t even notice."
"I just stepped out of the room after coaxing him to sleep." Slumping on the couch, Ben sighed, "It\'s so difficult to handle him without Clara."
"So you are on dad duty today."
"Where did sister Clara go?" Guang inquired.
"She is out with sister Mian, they had to buy a few things for Jeremy," Qiang answered.
Jeremy was Ben and Clara\'s son who was born a couple of months ago.
"So you are exhausted after watching him all by yourself,"Guang chuckled.
Scrunching his brows, Ben snapped, "Hey don\'t laugh, don\'t forget you are having two of them."
Nodding his head, Guang agreed, "Yeah I know that."
Looking at Qiang, Ben inquired, "When is your due date?"
"Two weeks from now."
"That isn\'t far. You should start making all the preparations," Ben suggested.
Just then Yumi and Zixin arrived.
"There you are, dad has been anxiously waiting for you," Qiang sighed.
"I\'ll go call them."
After Guang left, Yumi inquired, "where are others? Zian, Yushen, Mian, brother Sam, sister Clara?"
"Clara and Mian are out but they should be back soon," Ben answered.
"Where is our champ Jeremy?" Zixin asked.
"He is taking his nap inside and I don\'t wanna wake him up until Clara is here. He starts crying when he doesn\'t see her and it\'s very difficult," Ben sighed.
After a few minutes, Ming and Singtan arrived.
"I don\'t wanna hear anything," Ming remarked.
