Lu Zihao scowled. “Don’t chase those insignificant accomplices anymore. But find out who are the motherfuckers rescuing them.”
“On it, Boss Hao!”
Since things already developed this way, Lu Zihao knew that lack of the time was their number one enemy right now. They needed to snatch Rose Young before she was rescued.
“Get more people to Rose Young! Immediately!” Even as he barked this order, he already jumped in a car and began driving it himself.
Only two of his subordinates were fast enough to jump in the front passenger seat and backseat before the car was zipping past the highway. The remaining ones scrambled in other cars, some in motorcycles, and scattered in different directions to prevent attracting too much unwanted attention by travelling in a large group especially when there was increased police presence in the area. They might seem to be driving in different directions but all were headed to the same destination.
Despite all of the consecutive challenges being thrown at them tonight, Lu Zihao was calm and focused in making sure that the mission would succeed no matter what. The Chief of Police was a big curveball but the rescue of Rose Young and her minions was a possibility that he and Jin Liwei already considered while planning their counterattack earlier.
The brothers-in-law knew that the Young family wouldn’t leave Rose Young alone to fend for herself. She was Romeo Young’s only daughter after all, the child of the family head. There was no way that their family would allow her to be imprisoned.
Lu Zihao felt rather confident that his Shadow Winds would be able to deal with whoever the Young family sent to rescue their daughter. Other than being in charge of the Singaporean branch of Jin Corporation, the Young family was nothing special.
The only unknown variable about the Youngs was the mysterious power backing them.
Lu Zihao was wary of their backer because he didn’t have much information about them. Even Evelinka was having trouble digging for any concrete information about that mysterious power, except that it kept sending Eagle to attack Jin Corporation.
This meant that this mysterious power had a formidable hacker, not Eagle, working for them who could compete with his sister on almost the same level. Of course, he still believed that his sister was the best hacker in the world. Others might come close to her level but they would always be inferior to her in his eyes.
Even as he thought about these things, he remained focused as he barked commands to his subordinates. However, he still noticed that a certain little devil had been silent for quite some time now. This was the time that his AI nephew’s powerful capabilities were needed.
“Bacon.”
No answer.
He frowned and called for Bacon again, but like before, there was no response.
“ShaWn, where’s Bacon?”
“Uh, Boss Hao….”
He narrowed his eyes, detecting something in his hacker team member’s hesitation to answer his simple question. “Spit it out!”
“Boss Hao, the truth is that our comrades you sent to protect Boss Drakon reported something important to us earlier….”
“Why didn’t they report it directly to me?”
“Because Boss Drakon told them not to tell you and Mr. Jin until you’ve completed your plan tonight…and er, Bacon threatened them if they didn’t obey Boss Drakon.”
Lu Zihao sighed. The little devil was becoming more and more daring in lording over Lu Zihao’s subordinates. “And? What did they report to you?”
“Uhm….”
“It seems that I’ve become too lenient on you lately that you’ve forgotten who your real boss is.”
“No, Boss Hao! You’re our boss, nobody else!”
“So hurry up and tell me!”
“Boss Drakon…she’s in the hospital!”
Lu Zihao’s hands tightened around the steering wheel, a bad feeling growing inside him. His heart thudded in his chest. “Hospital? Why? What happened to her?!”
“She seems to be bleeding….”
“Bleeding,” he breathed, suddenly feeling cold all over. “Was she injured?! Tell me which motherfucker hurt her!”
“The report says that Boss Drakon fainted after successfully defeating Eagle earlier. They were already on their way to the hospital when she woke up. It seems that she got access to Boss Hao and Mr. Jin’s body cams and saw Rose Young masturbating in front of Mr. Jin.”
“Fuck!” Lu Zihao slammed both hands on the steering wheel but otherwise continued driving despite the fury boiling inside him.
“And then Boss Drakon became emotional and insisted that they return to the hotel. The driver refused to obey her order and kept on driving but then she tried to jump out of the moving vehicle.”
Lu Zihao felt his heart jump heavily. “She jumped out?! She fell on the road?! That’s why she’s bleeding?!”
His ShaWn subordinate explained to him what happened during the incident by the roadside and how Iris somewhat calmed down after someone reported the ruckus she made to the police.
“While they were running away from the police, Boss Drakon began bleeding. I’m not sure what the situation right now at the hospital is but…uhm, it’s possible that she might miscarry.”
Lu Zihao’s foot slammed on the brake pedal. The car swerved and drifted around the bend before stopping with a loud screech. If it weren’t for the seatbelts, his two subordinates riding with him would have been thrown from the force.
“Miscarry?!”
For the first time since being reborn into the body of Lu Zihao, he felt genuine, soul-deep, and almost debilitating fear crash like tsunami over his entire being. The last time he felt this way was during the fateful night of the Vetrov annihilation.
Even while being tortured for information, he didn’t fear for his own life or that of his parents. He only feared for his sister’s life.
And now, although the situation was completely different, the fear was the same.
“Which hospital?” His tone became soft and calm but his subordinates knew that he was seething with cold fury inside.
After learning the address, he immediately drove towards the hospital.
“Are we not heading to Rose Young anymore?” the subordinate sitting beside him asked.
“The other teams will deal with her. My sister is more important than that fucking nympho. I need to see my sister’s condition with my own eyes. If she really miscarried, I’ll personally kill Rose Young, chop her up into several pieces, and mail her severed head to her ambitious father in Singapore!”
