Chapter 1193: The Failed Plan

"Minister! If you still have doubts, you can call the Mayor." Xiao Yue somehow appeared beside them. "Director Meisai, please withdraw two-thirds of your subordinates, just leave the guards to patrol here."

"Understood." Meisai exhaled a breath upon seeing Xiao Yue, then glanced at the Minister’s expression; this debt was settled, just missing the mark by a fraction of time. If someone had truly broken in, this document would have lost its meaning.

"Minister, no need to worry, Miss has expressed her gratitude for your assistance this time."

"But..."

"Does the Minister still not believe my words?"

"No, it’s just the people inside..."

"I can’t help them."

After a burst of gunfire! In the brightly lit building, there was no movement, the seven people in the shadows all felt it was strangely odd. When they saw Murong Lengyue and two others walking out of the building, thinking of sabotaging and killing those inside, the outcome was that the building seemed empty, not a soul was seen. What surprised them even more was the expected support from the front, yet the street leading to the outside world appeared as a mere white shadow stretching into the depths of darkness, not even a shadow, or a sound; support, go to hell!

Someone shouted this angrily, the other six instinctively wanted to retreat, but it was already too late.

Suddenly, a group of people rushed out from the originally empty circular plaza, some crouched or stood, a few swarmed together, shouting and jumping loudly, and miraculously the lamp posts lit up one by one.

The seven gulped, puzzled as to how so many people avoided their detection and suddenly emerged. They were all highly trained individuals, with a hearing sensitivity that far exceeded ordinary people, yet they hadn’t noticed at all. These were just minor players; the real main characters were still unknown.

These people were all former villains of Sin City; ever since Xiao Lin reclaimed Troy, it curbed their bloodthirsty desires. To stay in Sin City under protection, they had to agree not to get blood on their hands, only when necessary would they expel from Black Street, leaving life and death to fate; this was remarkably similar to ’Underground City’, so Lao Jiu and Troy found they were a match made in hell.

"Where did these people come from?" The seven stared at the crowd, one whispered, "What do we do now?"

"If the task hasn’t been canceled from above, continue."

Just as the villains charged at them, the person farthest left tossed a few tear gas canisters forward, shouting before entering the lit building, with the others filing in. Strangely, once they entered, the villains quickly withdrew, leaving only the rolling tear gas canisters around the empty plaza, the lights dimming, leaving just a small yellow glow, darkness settling in.

Under the light, shadows could be seen moving in the darkness below. Xiao Yue stood in the circular plaza; from the moment the seven entered, shadows flashed, blood splattered, in the blink of an eye, the seven met King Yama in silence. He shook his head, sighed, then turned and walked down the long street.

Murong Lengyue sat in the third-floor living room, the scent of blood wafting from below made her want to gag, its intensity causing discomfort in her whole body. Yet she still walked downstairs, the last person had their heart pierced by a strange knife. Such a death wasn’t horrifying, but when the Black Doctor withdrew the knife, he casually extracted the heart as well.

With a pop, the still warm heart was crushed. Watching such a bloody scene, Murong Lengyue screamed, all seven lying on the ground had their hearts removed, a cruelty she couldn’t associate with their usual chaotic appearances, now they looked more like demons from hell, cold smiles on their faces, unaffected by her sudden presence.

"Clean up the bodies, we’ll have to replace the carpets and all the furnishings," the Black Doctor said, wiping his Nepalese Khukuri, mumbling to himself. "All costs are on you guys. Every day, you occupy my space, using guns and knives, damaging goods, I’ll charge double for compensation."

"Ah, you’re such a miser."

"Well, you’re the ones with too much money to spend; give some to us poor folks, it’s only fair." After handling the blood on their weapons, they nonchalantly flung their blood-soaked clothes into a trash can. A few subordinates expertly cleaned the bodies and bloodstains from the floor, rolling up the carpet and bloodstained items, slowly clearing them away, leaving just the sofa as someone was sitting there, and they didn’t dare ask them to move.

"Ah, you dare say that, you miser, guarding your money every day!"

"That’s a given, otherwise, how would Troy and I survive the rest of our lives? Surely not thanks to you!" Saying this, the Black Doctor naturally hooked Troy’s head, pulling him close.

The wall clock chimed midnight, the few who were laughing suddenly wore serious expressions, staring at the clock on the wall; nobody spoke. Murong Lengyue sensed something was off; was something significant about to happen at this hour? It was enough to quiet these normally rowdy people; it must be something huge. She wanted to ask but didn’t dare.

"Twelve o’clock!"

"Hmm!"

"That means Xiao Lin’s already there."

"Hmm!"

"What are you doing?" Yelu Shou grabbed Hua Qingyi’s hand and pulled him back. "Going over there now, it’s already over."

"Xiao Lin, what exactly is he doing?"

"Ah, he’s going to meet Robert alone and bring Xia Xue back."

"Alone?" Murong Lengyue covered her mouth. She always thought these people, usually inseparable, would never let Xiao Lin venture alone. So she had been relaxed all day, but now she couldn’t deceive herself any longer. "No way!"

"Is this woman crazy?" Troy was startled by Murong Lengyue’s sudden scream. He lifted his head from the Black Doctor’s lap, cursed, and went back to sleep.

Murong Lengyue ran back to the third floor, took the phone out of her bag, and dialed Shao Qinyi’s number immediately. After a moment of silence, the other party sighed.

"Miss Murong, this action exceeds our agreement."

"Wasn’t it agreed to let Xia Xue go? Now you’ve involved my fiancé, isn’t this a breach? If Mr. Shao doesn’t handle this matter well, don’t blame me for going back on my word. If you can’t make a rational choice facing your brother, I can talk directly to Chairman Quan, which shouldn’t be a problem!"

Shao Qinyi’s grip on the phone tightened slightly, and he slowly relaxed his facial muscles. "Only one of Xiao Lin or Xia Xue can survive, this is already the final concession. I also need to see Miss Murong’s sincerity."

"Is Mr. Shao threatening me?"

"One condition in the agreement was for Xiao Lin to become your fiancé, but to achieve this, you know Xia Xue is the biggest obstacle."

"Another condition in the agreement was to let Xia Xue go, unharmed."

"Hmm, we fulfilled that. But when letting her go, Robert took Xia Xue away, which can’t be blamed on me. Miss Murong did quite a few things behind my back, and now blaming me is unfair."

"What other terms do you have?" Murong Lengyue took a deep breath.

"I have only this one brother."

"As long as Xiao Lin and Xia Xue can safely appear on Black Street, I’ll ask Chairman Quan for Shao Weihua, that’s all."

"Then thank you, Miss Murong."

After hanging up the phone, Murong Lengyue felt inexplicably sad. She thought she was foolish, but Xiao Lin was even more foolish. Knowing it’s a trap, Robert would certainly set a trap waiting for him to jump into it, why so stubbornly not taking anyone along? This was not what she had imagined.

"Regretting it?" Yelu Shou walked in without even knocking, smiled at her as he looked at the phone in her hand.

"Is there still a chance to remedy it?" Yelu Shou shook his head. "You’ve been investigating me, was it Xiao Lin’s idea?" Yelu Shou shook his head again.

"Xiao Lin never gave any instructions, only investigated you in the case purchased in Sin City. He didn’t even suspect you, but your ambition is too strong, I had no choice but to investigate you."

"Why didn’t you tell him it was my plan."

"He knows! I only say what needs to be said."

Murong Lengyue’s eyes widened, a tear flowed from them. "I thought you’d go along. With Robert’s power, he can’t be a match for Xiao Lin, even with more people. Having you help would make things end smoothly, but whether Xia Xue can be unharmed, I’m not sure."

"So you were surprised to see us on Black Street. You deliberately told him Shao Weihua would let people go, guessing Xiao Lin would angrily lead you to Black Street, where someone should be guarding. This way, destroying Sin City would be as easy as crushing an ant."

"Hmm, I thought I knew Xiao Lin well, but I don’t know you well enough. Surely he would stop you from going; I thought you wouldn’t really leave him alone."

Yelu Shou chuckled, patted Murong Lengyue’s shoulder. "You can leave now, your presence is no longer needed here."

"I’m not leaving!"

"Suit yourself! (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations or monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation.)
