CHAPTER 324: CHAPTER 324: SUCCESS

Lin Mengyao sat in the car with her eyes closed. Although her fever had subsided, she still looked sickly, as if she hadn’t recovered from her illness. But Lin Mengyao knew her body had recovered well. The reason for her current state was merely due to a troubled mind.

As Lin Mengyao somewhat listlessly gazed out the window, the driver suddenly accelerated and changed lanes sharply, causing the unprepared Lin Mengyao to fall back against the car seat.

"What happened?" Through these days of training, Lin Mengyao’s sense of danger had grown considerably stronger. After the initial confusion, she quickly steadied her emotions and asked.

"Someone is following us from behind. I don’t know who they are. Please fasten your seatbelt and try to sit tight. I need to break through and shake them off." The driver glanced at the black van persistently trailing their car and spoke coldly, not giving Lin Mengyao any time to respond, he pushed the speed to the maximum, turning an ordinary road into a racing track experience.

Lin Mengyao tried to maintain her balance in the car. Watching the cars zoom past outside the window, she instinctively thought of Xu Ke; she wanted to see him, to hear his voice, but she pushed all these thoughts back down. In the end, she chose to clench her teeth, close her eyes, and try to quietly endure this ordeal.

Unaware of how much time had passed, Lin Mengyao only felt her stomach churn. Just as she was about to vomit, the car came to a sudden stop due to a massive collision.

When Lin Mengyao, barely conscious and restraining her discomfort, opened her eyes, she saw the driver’s face covered in blood. Before she could react, the car door was flung open, and a white handkerchief was pressed against her face. The pungent scent immediately filled Lin Mengyao’s nostrils, and in the next second, her vision fell into darkness.

"Boss, we got her." The leader called Sheng Hong, reporting the success with a phone call, looking at the unconscious Lin Mengyao.

In the villa, just as Xu Ke was having a meal, he suddenly knocked over the glass cup beside him. The shattering sound was particularly jarring in the dining room. Xu Ke’s heart skipped a beat, feeling as if something bad had happened.

Without needing any instructions, the trained maid quietly approached the dining table and began cleaning up swiftly and silently.

"Why do you look so unwell? Did something come to mind?" Sheng Wenhao asked, noticing Xu Ke’s pale face.

Xu Ke shook his head at Sheng Wenhao but instinctively pulled out his phone to call Lin Mengyao. The prolonged busy tone on the line made Xu Ke’s face even paler, and his expression turned grim. Xu Ke quickly hung up and called the driver, but the result was the same—long busy tones. Such a mistake of not answering their employer’s calls was impossible for a Xu Family servant; the outcome was evident—Lin Mengyao was in trouble!

"Damn it!" Xu Ke clenched his fist and slammed it into the dining table. The collision between the marble surface and human bones was intense, as Xu Ke hadn’t held back, and his hand immediately bled with bright red blood. In some areas, it even turned black within a few breaths, appearing somewhat ominous against Xu Ke’s fair skin.

"Oh dear, Family Head, you can’t harm yourself like this; hurry and call the doctor over." Housekeeper Zhao, looking at Xu Ke’s bleeding wrist, showed panic and concern in his eyes.

"Is it Sister-in-law?" Sheng Wenhao asked coldly, seeing Xu Ke’s wounded hand and out-of-control demeanor.

"Yes." Xu Ke’s eyes were filled with undisguised killing intent.

"There’s no need to say it; for sure, my good uncle and aunt did this. If she’s in my uncle’s hands, there’s no need to worry about her safety. My uncle always puts interests first; he will surely use this opportunity to suppress you and the Xu Corporation, extracting as much benefit from you as possible. But if she’s in my aunt’s hands, the outcome is far from promising. My aunt is ruthless and unforgiving; the chances of surviving in her hands are slim to none." Sheng Wenhao analyzed with suppressed murderous intent.

"I never expected this couple to do such a thing. I’m going back to the Sheng Family to kill them." Sheng Wenhao, much like Xu Ke, slammed his fist against the marble dining table and stood up to leave, with a murderous aura as if determined to end the couple’s lives.

"Come back! Do you think they haven’t made preparations? Are you willing to risk yourself too?" Xu Ke’s voice was as sharp as ice shards, and his gaze was chilling.

"Then what else can we do? Just watch and do nothing while Sister-in-law is captured because of me? If I do nothing, what right do I have to call myself a man?" Sheng Wenhao clutched his head, expressing his anguish.

"Who said you can’t do anything? There’s something more important for you to do than killing that couple." Xu Ke looked at Sheng Wenhao with determination, speaking each word clearly.

"Tell me anything I can do, and I’ll do it without hesitation." Upon hearing that he wasn’t expected to wait idly, Sheng Wenhao’s expression lightened considerably.

"Go to the gate and pick a team. They’re all excellent retired special forces. Choose the top twenty fighters to stay by your side; follow my orders and don’t act impulsively, understood?" The storm in Xu Ke’s eyes calmed, but his presence was even more intense than during his rage, suffocating those around him.

After speaking, Xu Ke took out his phone and made a call to Liu Yan. Liu Yan, busy with work, was surprised to receive the call from Xu Ke, "Mr. Xu." Liu Yan greeted.

"Didn’t you mention you know many hackers? Introduce me to the best one you know; I have a job for them. Whatever they charge, I’ll pay." Xu Ke got straight to the point.

Hearing the urgency in Xu Ke’s tone, Liu Yan’s expression turned serious. Without asking why Xu Ke needed a hacker, he agreed immediately, "Alright, I’ll send you their contact information right away."

The Xu Family, after Xu Ke’s initial panic, gradually steadied itself.

In a rundown warehouse in the Shangjing Suburb, Sheng Hong watched through a video call as Lin Mengyao lay unconscious on the ground.

"You did a good job this time. When this is over, I’ll have my assistant send each of you a million as a bonus; consider it drinking money for the brothers. Once everything is settled, I’ll throw a big party for everyone." Sheng Hong said with satisfaction at the scene before him.

Hearing that Sheng Hong would give each of them a million, a smile finally appeared on the leader’s face.
