765: Realized it Too Late

Realized it Too Late

Ring~

His cracked phone rang.

Ming Zhi Yi just let it ring while he was taking a deep breaths.

After a long while, he picked the phone on its fourth call.

"Tell me a fucking good news." Ming Zhi Yi said in a silent infuriated manner.

"I...I-it's...uhm.."

So it's another bad news.

Ming Zhi Yi's eyes turned red. But his voice was calm. "What is it? Don't waste my time on this freaking phone call."

"T-that...master, the national investigation has ceased all the remaining LJ clubs, and they are on their way to the other affiliated companies too. What should we do?"

"..."

Ring~

There was another incoming call.

Ming Zhi Yi checked the other number. It was his assistant's number. He left his assistant to handle the conglomerate company that was fighting with the legendary family's business. It was his frontal company.

"Hold on." He answered the other call. "What is it?"

"Master! Our stocks all plummeted down! It was still going down!"

Ming Zhi Yi restrained the fury in his heart. He was still figuring out what to do with the lost cargo and the betrayal of his people when the problem with the legendary family rose again. He asked in a low voice, "How is it going down?"

"Many companies suddenly withdrew their investment from us at the same time."

"You...didn't you investigate all those companies? You said you are sure that they are on our side."

"Yes, Master. They could not be from the legendary families. I am still investigating at the moment."

"Ha." Ming Zhi Yi felt his blood turned cold.

All the pieces of the puzzle fit together now.

Not only did his well hidden spies died, but all of his connections got useless. The weapon he held against the people with high status was lost. And now, the enemy was attacking his frontal companies too.

In the phone calls he had with those people earlier, all of them were pursued by that mysterious faction at an earlier time and got cornered at this right moment.

All of them ceased to help him.

It was like his hand was suddenly cut off.

Ming Zhi Yi usually does not only rely on them. In usual times, if something was happening at the front, he would use his organization underground to take care of this matter. Then everything would be fine after a few efforts. 

But his organization was gone. And Ifel, his backup plan, was nowhere to be seen. It was like his feet were cut off before his hand. And all of it was just realized by him at this moment.

He realized it too late.

No, the enemy hid their intentions, their plans, and their movement too well. They have taken advantage of the fact that he was busy fighting with the legendary families.

All of it was their scheme.They pushed him in the corner at a time where he could not use his hands and feet.

Without his knowledge, they cut off his power little by little. Until he could not use any of them.

"Ha." Ming Zhi Yi laughed with murderous eyes.

Did the legendary families also know about this third party?

No.

Ming Zhi Yi's gut was telling him they didn't know either.

So who are they then?

"Master?" His assistant called out to him.

Ring~

There was another incoming call.

Like a robot, MIng Zhi Yi ended the other calls and answered the incoming with unfocused eyes.

"Master! The national investigation knows about the secret research and the poison! They have evidence! They are now looking for you! I am burning every document here before they get on this floor-!"

Toot.

Ming Zhi Yi ended the call.

They got him.

They were now destroying everything he owed.

From his spies, his people, his organization to everything he planned!

And it was all because of his son. His own son that he trained to be like him destroyed everything he had worked for in all his life.

Ming Zhi Yi looked at the sky. The moon was still at present while the sun was starting to rise.

Dawn is here.

"Son. It's not yet too late." A woman with a rope on her neck reflected in the window. 

Ming Zhi Yi looked at his left side. "Mother..." he muttered. 

His mother's face had never changed despite the long years that passed. Her mother's face was the same as that time. She still had that face who was hungry for blood.

"Son, there's still Lu Jin. His life is in your hands. You haven't lost control..." On his right side, a man with bloodied hands patted him.

He looked at the man's expressionless face who was similar to his. "Father...He is my son. But he still betrayed me. He isn't like me. I stayed with you two. Even though you two died, I stayed with you. But he...he..betrayed me! He is the cost of everything!"

"Right son. He destroyed our chance of revenge. It is the fault of the despicable Lu's blood that runs in him. You have to kill him. Kill his brother too. While you let that old man watch." His mother at the side touched his face while saying these words in an eerily sweet voice. "My son is a good kid. You'll do that right, hmm?"

His father turned Ming Zhi Yi's face in his direction. "Just do what I always do to you. You don't educate him enough that's why he betrays you. He is not scared enough."

"Son, he has the Lu's blood....kill him.."

"Son, educate him well...like I always do..."

Ming Zhi Yi's ears blurred with their words. Their voices kept ringing in his head.

After a long time of being in a daze, Ming Zhi Yi turned to the paled driver expressionlessly, "Turn back."

The driver did not dare to meet Ming Zhi Yi's eyes. His shaking hands turned on the engine.0

He could not believe his eyes and ears.

His master. Their formidable master...had gone crazy.
