Chapter 801 - Many Deaths
The flashlight from their guns illuminated the dark and eery room.
The ground was covered in pools of blood. The scattered knives and bloody rope could tell what happened here.
Linfeng\'s heart skipped a beat.
His young lady was locked in this room for more than twenty-four hours. Seeing all the blood, his eyes turned red.
Young Miss...
Zhi\'er....
"Sir Linfeng, here!" His people already went in.
Linfeng hid the fury in his heart and ran towards the source.
"The heirs and heiress are here!"
There were crouching figures on the ground. As they approached, they could hear someone sobbing.
Linfeng passed the corpses on the ground and approached a familiar red figure.
Although her face was dirty, her hair and clothes were messy, Linfeng could recognize her.
"Zhi\'er!"
Xiong Zhi turned to his voice. Her tightened expression finally crumbled.
"Linfeng..." Tears welled up in her eyes.
Linfeng ignored all the people in the room and hugged the person tightly to his chest.
"Zhi\'er...." He painfully groaned.
His heart that was hanging on the rope finally settled down.
In the past two days, he looked for Xiong Zhi like a madman. Overturning every possible hideout of Ming Zhi Yi. Linfeng prayed to god every second for his young miss to be safe. Let her be safe until he comes.
If this mountain was not far, he should have tossed aside the helicopter and teleported here. The moment he learned of this place, Linfeng wanted to come here the soonest even he had to go alone.
But it was not only the safety of his young miss that was at risk, the other heirs of other families were also at danger. With no other choice, he had to cooperate with them and be patient. Although the process of waiting and planning carefully was painful, Linfeng had to endure.
The information he got from the expert he captured was that Ming Zhi Yi gathered his hiding forces. Although a lot of them died in the Tang hall, there were still some of them in Ming Zhi Yi\'s side that they haven\'t wiped out yet.
The legendary families were truly outraged by this kidnapping. So coming here was not only for rescue but to subdue Ming Zhi Yi as well.
Linfeng with greeted teeth cooperated with them while hiding his restless heart.
He never once rested. He kept the fury, impatience, and fear in his heart.
If he had lost Xong Zhi, he would truly go insane.
Linfeng hugged her tightly. A hot sensation was coming to his eyes.
He never cried. But today, he really did.
"Linfeng....why are you late...?" Xiong Zhi\'s voice was muffled by her cry.
It was scary...
In this second life, she was filled with warmth and happiness with Linfeng by her side that she forgot all her bitter past.
But when she was kidnapped and tortured with the other heirs, those memories were painfully dug up, making reality and memories separated with only a thin line- her sanity. If she did not mentally stabilize herself and have hopes waiting for Linfeng, she must have broken down.
The warm hug, the man\'s presence, and his worries penetrated the coldness and frightening trauma that she had undergone.
Xiong Zhi was holding back her tears. But now, she could finally let go of her fears. Even she lived two lives, she was still a woman who feared death and pain.
But what she feared the most was not being able to spend her last minutes of her life with Linfeng. without saying goodbye and abandoning him. Leaving Linfeng an unsightly scene and guilt he would never be able to forget in this life.
Xiong Zhi pulled on his suit as she cried without sound. Linfeng was still wearing the suit he had two days ago.
She was really scared....
Linfeng\'s heart was aching painfully with Xiong Zhi\'s muffled cries. "I am sorry...I am too late. I am sorry...."
He kissed her head over and over again while patting her cold back. He wanted to transfer all his warmth to her.
His young miss had truly suffered. He wished he could get all the pain and trauma instead...
The sound of sobs from behind them and the people rescuing the other heirs made Xiong Zhi be aware of her surrounding. Although she wanted to stay longer in Linfeng\'s warmth and to not be separated from him, there were urgent things before her comfort.
She wiped her tears and looked up at Linfeng, "Linfeng, Ming Zhi Yi-"
Linfeng face suddenly froze. He looked at her bloody arm. "You are hurt!"
Xiong Zhi was about to hide it but Linfeng caught her bloody arm.
"Let me see...." Linfeng\'s voice choked as his fingers met the wet sticky blood on his young miss arm.
On the flawless smooth skin was a deep engraved character Lu. It was clearly done crudely by a knife. Unlike the tattoo that was only carved at the surface of the skin, this character Lu was written deeply in his young miss flesh.
Linfeng\'s fingers trembled. His eyes turned red. A fury erupted in his heart.
The madness that he kept in check ever since he entered the hall was out of control.
"Ming Zhi Yi, that devil bastard!" An enormous killing intent filled the hall.
He would kill him!
That devil-like bastard would not be spared!
He would torture him to death before ending him!
Xiong Zhi felt suffocated. The people who were rescuing and checking the other bodies felt the chilling aura and glanced at them.
"Linfeng! Calm down!? This is not life-threatening. Listen to me-"
Xiong Zhi held Linfeng\'s face with her bloody hands. She put her forehead onto his chin.? "Listen to me, this wound could get treated anytime. It doesn\'t hurt that much at all." Of course, it was a lie. It hurt so much that Xiong Zhi could still feel that knife digging into her flesh. The way the knife curved to form a single stroke was excruciatingly painful.
But she was not the only one who was hurt.
Guan Gu Ri was disfigured. Lu Yin Ze\'s finger was almost cut and his face had a long bloody wound. Tang Xinyang was beaten badly. And Old Lu....
"Old Lu died." Xiong Zhi\'s voice choked.
The pain in their body could not even be compared to the pain that the Lu family, Lu Yin Ze must be feeling right now.
And this death was on them.
Linfeng\'s pale face froze once more. That\'s when he was finally able to look behind Xiong Zhi.
In front of them, the heirs and heiress were being treated and escorted by the rescuers. However, Lu Yin Ze was still crouching on the ground.
The rescuers tried to help him up and separate him from the bloody corpse he was hugging. But the man did not budge and just kept sobbing mournfully. Tears and blood were mixed.
Because Linfeng\'s sight was only on Xiong Zhi, he did not recognize the corpse at one glance. But looking at the body carefully, it was Old Lu.
Linfeng\'s heart felt cold.
If he was a little late, not only Old Lu\'s body had turned cold, his young miss must also be...
Linfeng\'s hand tightened around Xiong Zhi. He would not dare to think that.
The dark hall was now filled with people and lights. The experts in the empty mansion were wiped out. None were spared.
The legendary families were truly enraged. They did not intend to spare anyone besides the body of Ming Zhi Yi.
They cleaned up the bodies in the hall and escorted the heirs and heiress outside.
In Xiong Zhi\'s peripheral view, she saw the injured Jang Shin hugging Tang Xinyang who was crying. Guan Xixin also came as well. The latter eyes turned red when he saw his big brother\'s bloody face.
It was only Lu Yin Ze who doesn\'t have anyone right now.
Guilt overcame Xiong Zhi.
In the end, she was useless.
"Sister!" Xiong Zhi also heard Tang Yin\'s voice. But she did not look anymore.
She did not dare to look at Lu Yin Ze\'s pitiful figure who refused the rescuers to treat his wounds and take his grandfather\'s body. The young man was still grieving.
Xiong Zhi\'s heart was bitter. The sight of it was too familiar that it made her heart tremble and shivered.. Coldness, extreme sadness, and heavy pounding penetrated her heart.
