The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 147. Sparking the War between Dark Hall and Organization K (Second Update)
Chu Chen’s face was cold; these black-clad figures that had suddenly emerged likely wanted to take the chance to ignite a war between Dark Hall and their K organization. They only attacked Li Mochan and not him, which would lead outsiders to think that he had intentionally set a trap for Li Mochan.
Damn it.
One against ten, yet Li Mochan still had the upper hand.
When his bullets were spent, he threw down his gun, and with his five fingers shaped like claws, he grabbed the black-clad person’s neck. With a slight exertion of force, the assailant was instantly lifeless.
"Li Mochan, believe it or not, these people have nothing to do with our K organization," said Chu Chen as he kicked away a black-clad person trying to sneak up on Li Mochan from behind, speaking over his shoulder.
"I can swear on the reputation of our K organization."
Li Mochan’s thin lips were firmly pressed together, his gaze inscrutable, pondering Chu Chen’s intentions.
The scene here was one of blood and brutality, and it was no better outside.
On the building opposite the bar, the rooftop, the air was thick with the pungent smell of blood.
On the ground, several black-clad figures lay sprawled, eyes wide open, all devoid of life.
The cold wind blew, lifting the woman’s jet-black hair.
Ye Jiuliang was clutching a black-clad assailant’s neck, her exquisite eyes tinged with coldness, "Speak, who sent you?"
The black-clad person’s hand, hanging by his side, was bent in a strange position, as if it had been brutally broken.
"Speak." Ye Jiuliang’s wrist tightened, and the black-clad man’s forehead began to sweat even more profusely.
His lips trembled, and the broken syllables that he emitted were ear-piercing and ugly, but he could not utter a single word.
Ye Jiuliang seized his jaw, her gaze suddenly turning icy.
Fuck.
A mute.
It appeared that whoever was behind these black-clad men had come prepared.
She pulled the trigger, and the black-clad man’s eyes split open, his mouth oozing blood that was an unnatural black.
Ye Jiuliang frowned slightly; the bullets had all been coated with a potent poison. Just who would go through such lengths to scheme against Li Mochan?
She took out her phone and made a call. The person on the other end picked up quickly.
"Master Jiu."
The person answering the phone was Yu Wei.
"Yu Wei, what’s the situation on your end?" Upon hearing gunshots from the other end of the line, Ye Jiuliang’s heart tightened.
"Master Jiu, we’ve been ambushed, but strangely, those black-clad men only attacked Li Mochan’s group and didn’t lay a hand on us," Yu Wei said as he headed downstairs.
Hearing this, Ye Jiuliang’s aura changed abruptly, her typically cold voice carrying a rare urgency, "Is Li Mochan injured?"
Yu Wei paused, wondering why Master Jiu was asking about Li Mochan.
Without overthinking, he replied honestly, "No, we’ve almost dealt with them on our end. Leader is currently on the phone with Leader Mingqian."
"I understand. Tell Achen to make sure the people on the rooftop of the building opposite the bar are taken care of," she instructed.
A new call came in; Ye Jiuliang hung up and answered the unfamiliar number.
"Miss Ye, did you like the gift I prepared for you?" A cold, hoarse voice came through the line.
Ye Jiuliang’s lips pursed slightly, "Who are you?"
"Who I am is not important. What is important is that I have a second gift for Miss Ye," the voice said, followed by a chilling laugh.
"Please, Miss Ye, hasten back to the resort within ten minutes, or I won’t be able to guarantee the safety of your friend," the voice threatened.
With that, the call was abruptly disconnected with a "beep."
Ye Jiuliang’s eyes filled with a spreading chill, and she ran down from the rooftop.
Racing along the road, the roaring wind whirled past her ears.
The black motorcycle sped along the highway, blasting through red lights, and before the startled cries of pedestrians could be heard, the bike had vanished into the night.
The engine cut out, and just as Ye Jiuliang got off the motorcycle, her phone rang again.
She pulled it out and saw it was the same unfamiliar number.
She pressed answer and it was that same husky male voice, "Miss Ye, you’re quite fast. Well then, could Miss Ye please come to the abandoned warehouse on the far east side of the resort? And yes, Miss Ye had better come alone, or else..."
"Boss, don’t listen to him, I... Ah..."
Ye Jiuliang’s face tensed, recognizing Baona’s voice.
"If Miss Ye isn’t here within two minutes, you’ll bear the consequences." After leaving behind the harsh words, the call was disconnected.
The resort was crowded, making it difficult to ride the motorcycle there, so Ye Jiuliang muttered a curse under her breath and sprinted off on foot.
...
After finishing the call with Ji Mingqian, Chu Chen walked into the private room and saw the man sitting on the couch, which made him frown.
"Li Mochan, I will investigate this matter thoroughly and will explain it to you," he said coldly.
As he spoke, Wei Bei sneered ironically, yanking down the collar of one of the men in black to reveal a purple emblem.
"If it has nothing to do with your K Organization, then please explain this emblem to me, Mr. Chu."
This was their K Organization’s emblem, so there was no way he could plead innocence.
Chu Chen stared at the emblem on the shoulder of the man in black, a malevolent look flashing through his eyes.
Damned.
They even dared to imitate their K Organization’s emblem.
"These are fake," said Yu Wei.
Wei Bei, disbelieving, scoffed, "No one can forge the K Organization’s emblem. You say they’re fake, where’s the proof?"
"Indeed, no one can forge our K Organization’s emblem, and it’s not difficult to verify. You can take these men away. Tomorrow I will have someone send the proof over," Chu Chen said, looking seriously at Li Mochan.
Their K Organization’s emblem was tamper-proof because Ajiu had made a special provision to prevent forgery; their emblem would react when it came into contact with a unique solution that Ajiu had created. Only the four of them were privy to this secret.
Li Mochan stood up, his cold gaze lightly sweeping over the tied-up men in black, "Take them away."
Wei Bei and Wei Nan exchanged glances, "Yes."
"Boss, Master Jiu just called," Yu Wei suddenly remembered the words Ye Jiuliang had said on the phone and whispered closely to Chu Chen’s ear.
Chu Chen raised an eyebrow, "What is it?"
Yu Wei lowered his voice further, whispering a few sentences.
Having listened, Chu Chen’s expression, which had just relaxed a bit, suddenly turned ugly again.
How could Ajiu know there was trouble on their side?
When did she come to City A?
Could it be that tonight’s events were not targeting Li Mochan but were aimed at their K Organization, or more precisely, at Ajiu?
With this thought, Chu Chen had a bad feeling in his gut.
He turned his eyes towards Li Mochan and calmly said, "Mr. Li, I just received news that suspicious individuals have been spotted around the resort where you are staying. Did you bring anything important to City A that might have attracted unwelcome attention?"
Meeting Chu Chen’s candid gaze, Li Mochan’s expression shifted slightly, and he quickly walked out.
Seeing this, Wei Nan hurriedly followed him out, leaving Wei Bei behind to deal with the men in black.
The only thing in the resort that could make their master so anxious was Ye Jiuliang.
Wei Bei looked at Chu Chen skeptically, trying to guess his thoughts.
Could it be that he had someone secretly monitoring his master’s whereabouts?
...
The abandoned warehouse was cluttered with sundry items.
With its doors and windows always firmly shut, the air inside was tinged with a musty odor.
