Chapter 1150 - 1153: Departure (Part 1)
Chapter 1150: Chapter 1153: Departure (Part 1)
"Are you determined to wipe us out?" Hao Tianzong was fully on guard.
Not far behind him, Hao Jie and the other two members of the Hao family were already scared stiff.
Meanwhile, Hao Jie could never have imagined that his father was actually preparing to abandon him and escape alone.
This made him feel very uncomfortable.
Lin Xi didn’t reply but instead stepped forward.
Hao Tianzong didn’t retreat either but continued asking, "Do you really think you can kill me?"
"Let me tell you, I’m not like those two worthless guys!"
"If you insist on making a move, then you better think it through, you’re also..."
The next moment, everyone saw Lin Xi pass by Hao Tianzong in an instant.
His speed was so fast that even Tong Zhan couldn’t see it clearly.
"Also..." Blood was already coming from Hao Tianzong’s mouth.
After Lin Xi took a few steps past him, Hao Tianzong collapsed to the ground.
He would never be able to finish his sentence.
Seeing this scene, the others were all shocked.
The formidable Hao Tianzong was killed just like that!
Lin Xi had managed to kill him so effortlessly.
The speed seemed frighteningly fast, leaving Hao Tianzong completely unable to react.
If they were in his place, the result would be the same.
After all, their strength was far inferior to Hao Tianzong’s.
Tong Zhan was overwhelmed with shock and joy, realizing his earlier decision was absolutely correct.
His benefactor!
An undoubtedly powerful individual.
Clearly beyond the level of a King of Soldiers.
He must be an Innate!
No wonder he managed to take down Dark Dragon!
An Innate, the strongest known being in the world.
Hao Jie and the other two Kings of Soldiers from the Hao family were scared out of their wits, effectively losing all will to resist.
Hongwu’s team took less than two minutes to eliminate the three of them.
At that moment, sirens began to sound outside.
Lin Xi glanced at Tong Zhan, "I’ll leave this place to you. I’m leaving!"
Before Tong Zhan could respond, Lin Xi’s figure vanished from the Hao residence.
Tong Zhan couldn’t even catch his speed.
Tong Zhan’s team exchanged a look, feeling lucky to have sided with such a powerful ally.
The sirens outside didn’t worry them too much.
Judging by the sound, the police would take at least a minute to reach the Hao residence.
In that minute, they could clear some tracks and leave quietly.
An hour later, Xiangjiang was in an uproar.
Two hours ago, so many people had died, and cases of trafficking and organ harvesting had been uncovered.
The news was enough to put Xiangjiang at the top of global news.
The city’s reputation was tarnished worldwide.
Two hours later, a top family was annihilated.
Further investigation revealed that this family was masterminding a human trafficking syndicate.
This caused many Xiangjiang officials to be immediately dismissed.
The Hao family was a prestigious family in Xiangjiang, often praised by the government as an example for the public and other businesses.
But they never expected...
The entire Xiangjiang populace was plunged into reflection and embarrassment.
Meanwhile, Lin Xi sat on the sofa in a presidential suite, watching Ding Yueqiu help Bing Ling with a quick disguise.
Bing Ling would return to the mainland with them the next day.
That evening, they casually ate some hotel meals and stayed in the room without going out.
It was probably because of the day’s events, which had shaken them considerably.
After all, they then saw reports of the day’s events online and on the room’s TV.
Even though Bing Ling had been part of the Hao family for years, she hadn’t realized the family’s true nature.
This made her feel slightly relieved about its downfall.
In truth, she had cut ties with the Hao family long ago.
Moreover, she hadn’t given the Hao family an heir during those years.
This wasn’t her fault; it was Hao Yusen’s own issue.
She also saved quite a bit of money and sent plenty to her family earlier, so returning now posed no financial worries.
After leaving the Hao residence, Tong Zhan’s team immediately headed to the port and boarded a yacht.
The yacht then departed Xiangjiang.
As for their guests, they abandoned those who hadn’t arrived on time.
They couldn’t stay long.
Otherwise, Xiangjiang authorities would definitely catch up with them.
While it was uncertain if any evidence would be found, being pursued would still be a hassle.
Furthermore, they were worried about accidentally leaving evidence behind.
They would end up bearing the consequences, despite eliminating threats for the greater good, the punishment would be severe.
So leaving as soon as possible was the best choice.
Once they reached international waters, no one could touch them.
Sitting alone in his room, Tong Zhan recalled the incident at the Hao family and, after some thought, made a phone call, "Transfer one billion to this account!"
Later, Lin Xi received a text message indicating his balance had increased by one billion.
As he wondered who had sent it, Tong Zhan messaged him on WeChat.
Essentially, he expressed gratitude for his benefactor’s repeated rescues.
He sent a small reward, hoping Lin Xi wouldn’t mind.
After all, the money meant little to him.
Lin Xi told him not to worry. He helped them as a secondary concern.
Naturally, Lin Xi didn’t refuse the money.
In today’s age, who complains about too much money?
Besides, Lin Xi felt justified in accepting it.
Even as an afterthought, he saved their lives.
Five lives are invaluable, but they can’t be quantified in money, and Tong Zhan didn’t use the billion to value their lives.
The next day, Lin Xi and his group, including Bing Ling, left Xiangjiang by high-speed train.
They departed without encountering any obstacles.
Even though Xiangjiang was under heavy security, checks were thorough.
But with Lin Xi’s group, they were exempt from scrutiny.
Lin Xi suspected it had something to do with Lin Yanxia.
He noticed that a staff member was overtly respectful towards Lin Yanxia.
It seemed they anticipated her departure from Xiangjiang.
Heading north, their ten-hour journey was smooth, without any incidents like petty gangsters harassing Zhu Ying and her friends.
This was probably because they traveled in business class.
Besides the five of them, there were two other women, with one seat empty.
The two women were curious about Lin Xi’s group but, after a brief exchange, realized the group’s mood wasn’t pleasant.
Except for Lin Xi.
Unfortunately, the two women weren’t very attractive and were relatively old.
Lin Xi, being very appearance-conscious, chose to ignore them.
The women didn’t press further; instead, they started chatting among themselves.
After eight in the evening, the train’s announcement was heard, "Passengers please note, Chuzhou City is approaching..."
Once the five of them exited the high-speed train station, a luxurious Mercedes was waiting on the road.
Lin Yanxia walked straight over and turned to Lin Xi, "Lin Xi, you can head back on your own!"
"We just have enough seats, can’t fit you, so won’t be giving you a ride!"
