764: No Arms and Legs to Use

No Arms and Legs to Use

While Ming Zhi Yi was in the car, he received a call from his subordinates.1

"Master, we can't reach the people from the national bureau."

"What?"

"I think something's happening in the ranks of our spies. We are also unable to contact our people in the police force, judicial department, and the prosecutors."

"Ha!" Ming Zhi Yi clutched his phone hard. His killing intent rose again. "Lu Jin, ah, Lu Jin. You really want me to kill you a million times!"

The people who were working with Lu Jin were now moving without being discreet. 

As expected, they were revealing their cards one by one without holding back anymore.

Ming Zhi Yi clenched his jaws hard until he tasted blood.

His decades of planning was all overturned by his own son's betrayal!

He barked on the phone. "Leave some men to investigate. My spies are decent enough to know what they should do once caught."

"Yes, Master."

"Investigate where the cargo went. I need an answer today."

After giving orders to his people, he called the chief of the police force. 

"Mr. Chang, this is Ming Zhi Yi. I need your favor this time."

"Ming Zhi Yi? Why are you calling at such a late time?"

"I need you to do me a favor. I need all the surveillance records in the coordinates that I will send to you immediately," Ming Zhi Yi said with gritted teeth, unlike his usual casual and friendly facade. He had no time for greetings as he was in a hurry. 

"Woah, woah. Ming Zi Yi, slow down. I am the chief of police. I am not your man. Who are you to order me around?"

Ming Zhi Yi's bad mood worsened. However, he needed information right now so he spoke calmly with cold eyes. "Do you want me to refresh your memory that you are once an LJ Club member? I need the information right now. Or else you and I will both go down."

"Haha! I guess they are right. You are planning to bring me down no matter what I do, right?"

"What?" Ming Zhi Yi sensed something was wrong. The chief of police always do his bidding without question.  But why does this rascal sounds so arrogant to him right now?

"Ming Zhi Yi, you lost the cargo, aren't you? Tsk. Tsk. Since you lost such precious things and it fell to the wrong person, you are doomed in any way. There's no hope for you."

The atmosphere in the car turned heavy. The driver sensed a suffocating killing intent coming from the passenger seat.

"What do you mean? Did someone contacted you?"

"Yes, Someone did. Actually, a month ago a mysterious person called me and threatened me to think twice about colliding with you when the time comes. I ask for 'why's' and 'how's', but I can't get an answer from them. I say, you have a formidable enemy this time. Because just a while ago, that person called and sent me the 'real' copy of what you have on me. I can now be at ease that your threats won't work on me."

"Ha. Chang Jin Li, Do you think I only have one copy of the dirty things you've done with me?"

"Aiyah, Ming Zhi Yi, I heard your organization was burned to a crisp. And a lot of your spies died. Even your son collided with the enemy, tsk, tsk. So tell me, where are those second copies you speak of? The spies you have on me are already dead. I say, before we got something out of them they killed themselves. Really, why are they so loyal to you?"

Ming Zhi Yi clutched his phone.

Ha.

The enemy had prepared so well. They even rope the people on his side to their side. If they got his son to betray him, then what more of the people he was working with?

"Hahahaha." Ming Zhi Yi laughed angrily. "Good. Very Good, Chang Jin Li. So you are betraying me now too? Fine. I don't need your help. You have to start running now, or else once I catch you, you won't be able to keep your hands and feet."

For a moment, the other side was silent. He was probably got scared of Ming Zhi Yi's threats. After all, this was Ming Zhi Yi. A very scary man who holds grudges deeply.

"Don't take it so personal. It's just a business between us. Since you don't have anything on me, I-"

Toot.

Ming Zhi Yi ended the call. He tried another number.

However, like the chief of police, those he called said the same thing. They got roped in by that mysterious enemy. 

Though some people are still scared of offending him, they reject helping him. They made excuses that heated up Ming Zhi Yi's ears. 

"I deeply apologize. But we can't help you right now. The national investigation is on our tail in this past month. If I make a move to help you, this might implicate you and me. Both of us would be suspected and they would dig even further."

Toot.

"I am really sorry. But I can't help you this time. Our department is busy because of the fight between you and the legendary family-"

"If it is at another time, I have no hesitation to help you but I have only this one company as my last stand. I can't take this risk. I am sorry."

Toot.

"I apologized-"

"We are in predicament-"

"I can't offer any-"

Crash!

Ming Zhi Yi threw his phone on the car's floor. He then punched the polycarbonate window very strongly. A subtle crack was made on the surface of the thick glass. Ming Zhi Yi's hand turned purple. His qigong surged inside the car.

The car stopped.

The driver's hand trembled. 

The car shook at Ming Zhi Yi's punch. The bullet-proof glass cracked! 

His master had punched the window with his overwhelming qigong after all.

Ming Zhi Yi took a deep breath and closed his eyes. But the fire in his chest did not diminish one bit. He had to vent it somewhere.
