Chapter 752 - Perhaps His Last Call

There was no doubt about it. His father was starting to doubt him. Ming Zhi Yi did not trust that Lu Jin would handle the matter with LJ Club smoothly and sent another subordinate to handle the issue instead.

Lu Jin merely sent the address to Xiong Zhi. If Xiong Zhi sent her people to recover the club\'s traces while Mr. Bing and his men were waiting for the spies, then it was likely that there would be a violent exchange between the two opposing parties.

And it was likely that Xiong Zhi\'s people would lose.

If Xiong Zhi\'s people could not handle the torture, Ming Zhi Yi then would find out Xiong Zhi\'s existence. Not only that, Lu Jin would be the one who would suffer from this.

The address where the club\'s traces were hidden was only known to two people. Ming Zhi Yi and Lu Jin.? And now, Mr. Bing.

If the spies attacked that place, then his father would know that he was the spy. Once his father also found out what he did in the underworld, Lu Jin would surely be killed.

That man did not care for his own blood and flesh children.

Lu Jin was prepared for any outcome he would receive from this betrayal. If the matter ended here with his demise, then he had to leave everything alone to those two.

It\'s just that his time came earlier than expected.

Lu Jin\'s eyes were lowered.

If that was the case, then he should give them everything that he knew while he still had the chance.

Ring….

The call was finally answered.

"Hello?"

A young man\'s gentle voice sounded from the other line.

Lu Jin closed his eyes as he immersed himself in that soft voice. He should be calling others right now, but in the end, this was the voice he wanted to hear the most at the moment. Since it could be the final call he could make.

"Who is this?" The voice asked when he did not hear any reply.

Lu Jin turned around to face the window and opened his eyes. His eyes held many emotions. He still did not speak.

"Hello? Who is this?" The voice asked again.

Lu Jin opened his mouth, but no voice came out. He did not know what to say.

"What is the matter, Yin\'er?"

The voice answered. "Do you know this number, Grandpa?"

"That must be a spam call."

"It cannot be. My phone has a complete security system. Only the people whom I gave my number to must know this number."

Hearing the two talk randomly made the stiff Lu Jin smile gently. It unprecedentedly softened his cold face.

The voice then became louder as the speaker became closer again.

"Who are you? If you still won\'t answer, I will drop this call."

Lu Jin\'s eyes wavered. He pursed his lips and slowly answered.

"It\'s me."

Silence.

Could it be that his voice was not familiar to Lu Yin Ze anymore? It is possible since they had not talked for a very long while.

Lu Jin straightened his back. He calmed down.

"I just visited mother recently, so the cleaner must have not seen it yet. I… I placed something there. I hope that you can see it for yourself."

"You..."

There was disbelief, anger, and something else he could not identify in his little brother\'s voice.

Lu Jin took a deep breath. He wanted to say many things, but none of them could come out of his mouth.

How unfortunate, this could be his last call, the last time that he might be able to hear his younger brother\'s voice.

"Master!"

A loud and panicked series of knocks sounded from his door.

Indifferent to it, Lu Jin closed his eyes. "I...."

There are still many things that I want to say to you, my little brother.

I want to tell you how sorry I am. I want to say how proud I am of you. I want you to… call me your big brother again.

The knocks on the door got louder.

Lu Jin\'s heart was heavy, yet he could not say anything. In the end, he only said the following words.

"Contact Linfeng and tell him that he needs to save his Young Miss in this address. This place has around twenty experts right now at most. The address is…."

After saying the address twice, he firmly ended the call without waiting for a response.

Lu Jin took a deep breath.

Not being able to have his little brother call him \'big brother\' was one of his punishments. He had no right to be disappointed. He was lucky that he got to hear both his grandfather\'s and his brother\'s voices.

Lu Jin gestured to the dumbfounded Liu Fung to unlock and open the door.

Mr. Kang came running in. He yelled. "Master, we need to leave this place immediately!"

*****

Linfeng looked at the address that his spies had sent to him. He checked the coordinates and the places near it.

This place had an abandoned factory with only two routes leading to it. This place was a perfect place for traps.

Linfeng looked out of the window. He was near that area. Should he check it?

Linfeng typed a message and sent it to his subordinates. [Are you sure that this is the right address?]

[Yes, sir. We followed them here.]

Linfeng sent another message. [This place is suspicious. Get closer to them but do not reveal yourself,]

[Roger, sir.]

These people were the ones that Linfeng sent to help Xiong Zhi\'s spies without her knowledge. He trusted Xiong Zhi, however, he could not fully trust the people working for her. When it came to Xiong Zhi, Linfeng must take double the measures.

Those spies of Xiong Zhi knew who they were working for. If they got caught and tortured, they might reveal their boss\'s identity.

Linfeng had learned a lesson when Xiong Zhi was once kidnapped. Ever since then, he was always careful to not put her in harm\'s way.

A sudden ringing of the phone disrupted his thoughts.

It was Lu Yin Ze.

"Linfeng? Where is Xiong Zhi?"

Linfeng frowned icily. "Why are you asking me about my girlfriend?"

Lu Yin Ze: "..."

Because I am unable to contact her, idiot!

He was forbidden to call her if it was not a business matter after all. He doesn\'t have her personal number.

Lu Yin Ze then answered. "This is not the time for this. My brother just called. He said that you have to save Xiong Zhi in this address. I don\'t trust him, but I can\'t just ignore this. Is she really okay?"

Linfeng checked the address that Lu Yin Ze sent to him. The familiar address made him frown.

He immediately ended the call with Lu Yin Ze without a second word and dialed Xiong Zhi\'s number.

Xiong Zhi answered the call. "Linfeng?"

Linfeng breathed in relief. "You are alright."

"?? Yes, I am." There was confusion in her voice. "What is the matter?"

"Are you still in the office?"

"Yes."

"Just stay there and do not go out unless I come to you."

"...Alright. But what\'s the matter, really?"

"I think there is something wrong with the address. Lu Yin Ze--" Linfeng suddenly halted.

A thought occurred to him.

Why did Lu Jin call Lu Yin Ze instead of them?

"Linfeng?"

Linfeng returned from his thoughts. His eyes deepened. "Zhi\'er, Lu Jin contacted Lu Yin Ze and told him to let me know, so that I can save you from this address. The address is likely a trap. You sent your people there, correct?"

"I did. I will send a backup immediately." Xiong Zhi\'s voice was solemn. There was a rustling sound of papers on the other line.

"Yes, send some people. I will go to the address immediately."

"What? No!" Xiong Zhi sounded agitated. "If it is really a trap, then it is a lot more dangerous."

"The men waiting in ambush might be experts. I am also an expert. I need to get your people out so that nothing would leak to Ming Zhi Yi."

"But--"

"Xiong Zhi." Linfeng interrupted. "This is necessary. We can afford disclosing our presence in another way, but not through this one."

Xiong Zhi bit her lips. Honestly, she would rather have her existence known by Ming Zhi Yi instead of putting Linfeng in a dangerous situation.

However, this was something she could not make a decision alone. If her spies were caught and tortured, not only her would be implicated, but Tang Yin and William as well. This was something she and Linfeng must be responsible for and avoid at all cost. They must not implicate the innocent ones who they pulled in to get ?ssistance from.

Xiong Zhi was hesitant, but after a while, she took a deep breath.

"Then be safe. Bring many men with you. I will send you my people too. Do not get injured, or else I will… I will go on a hunger strike." She wanted to look for a threat, but could not think of anything else right now due to her anxiety.

Linfeng could not help but chuckle. "Alright. I also don\'t want you to be hungry. You too, be safe and do not get out of the company premises."

After that call, Linfeng turned the steering wheel around. While calling for reinforcements, his car headed to the address.
