Chapter 964 - Take Me to the Zheng Family
"Luckily, the bullet only grazed your skin. I also checked your blood just in case they laced the bullets with poison. The results were negative. You'll heal in a few days." The doctor said to Meixiu after inspecting her grazed wound.
"Will this injury leave a scar?" Meixiu asked the doctor.
"Since you're a cultivator, it will only last for a bit. It will eventually disappear completely, but I will prescribe you with some healing cream just in case."
"I see… Thank you." Meixiu nodded.
Once the doctor left and they were alone, Chu Liuxiang spoke, "What should we do now? Yu Rou's birthday is tomorrow, and the concert will be held in public. If we don't deal with the situation before then, they could attack during the concert."
"Is there anything we can do to the Zheng Family?" She looked at White Lotus, who shook her head.
"Unfortunately, we don't have any concrete proof that the Zheng Family was the one behind the attack. My father spoke to the head of the Zheng Family, and according to what he told me, Zheng Ye doesn't appear to have anything to do with the attack."
"I also highly doubt they would leave behind any evidence that incriminates them."
"So there's nothing we can do about it?" Meixiu asked with a worried frown on her face.
"Not legally, no…" White Lotus sighed.
"We can try to look for the people in the black van, but we're still investigating that. The entire Bai Family is currently working with the police and investigators, but even with such a force, it will probably be a few days until we can learn anything."
"We don't have the luxury to wait that long." Yuan suddenly spoke.
"Do you have something in mind?" White Lotus asked him.
He nodded and said, "Meixiu, Lulu, I want the two of you to stay in this room together until I resolve our situation. It won't take too long, I promise."
"What are you going to do?" Meixiu asked him in a worried voice.
"I'm going to get the evidence we need to deal with whoever decided it was a good idea to put you all in such a dangerous situation," he calmly said.
Yuan approached Meixiu and caressed the bandage on her arm— where she'd been injured from the attack.
"The person who caused this will wish that they'd never been born…"
Even though his voices were as tranquil as still water in a lake, the ladies could feel the anger boiling within, and it was only a matter of time before it exploded, causing the water to splash everywhere.
Meixiu suddenly grabbed his hands and spoke, "Yuan, I know you're angry and that you're doing this for us, but please, don't do anything that will hurt you."
"I won't. I promise." Yuan showed her a gentle smile.
He then faced White Lotus and said, "Can you do me a favor?"
"O-Of course!" She immediately nodded.
"Let's go."
Yuan started making his way towards the exit.
"Don't do anything that you will regret later, Yuan! I know that you care about our safety, but don't forget that we also care about yours!" Chu Liuxiang shouted as he reached the door.
"I know." He responded as he left the room.
"I want guards inside and outside of this room at all times until we return. Make sure no harm comes to our guests." White Lotus said to Jasmine.
"What about you, Miss Bai?"
"I will be fine." White Lotus said as she glanced at Yuan.
"I understand. I will make sure the guests are protected even if it's the last thing I do." Jasmine nodded.
"Please take care of Miss Bai." She turned to face Yuan and bowed to him.
Sometime later, White Lotus followed Yuan to the roof of the hotel.
Yuan continued walking until he was standing at the edge of the building.
After standing there in silence for a couple of minutes, he suddenly asked, "Where is the Zheng Family?"
"The Zheng Family's headquarter is located in another city, but they have a branch family that is about an hour outside the city. Although you won't find the head of the family, Zheng Ye, there, you should be able to find Zheng Weimin."
"That is good enough."
He then asked, "Do you mind showing me the way? I promise you that no harm will come to you. I will also owe you."
"I don't mind. And you don't have to owe me anything. You saved my life today. I should be the one with the debt," she said.
"The only reason you guys were put in such a dangerous situation was because of me. I was their target. You guys just happened to be with me at the time of the attack."
"If you don't mind me asking, what are you going to do once we meet the Zheng Family? I doubt they will tell us the truth even if we threaten them."
After a moment of silence, Yuan spoke in a low but clear voice, "I don't know what I am going to do to them, but I know that it won't be very pretty."
White Lotus swallowed nervously.
"Do you plan on killing them all? Don't worry, the Bai Family will protect you no matter your decision."
Yuan turned to look at her with a profound smile on his face, but he did not respond to her question.
After a moment of silence, he spoke in a cold voice as he took off his sunglasses, revealing the red eyes that had been concealed by the shades, "That would be too lenient on the bastards that attacked us. I won't kill them, but I will make them wish that they were dead."
White Lotus' eyes widened with shock, and her body trembled in fear when she saw Yuan's crimson eyes that looked like it had been dyed in blood, not to mention intense killing intent that was contained within his gaze. However, mixed in with her fear was awe, as she was also oddly charmed by his presence.
Although she wasn't certain, she had a feeling that Yuan was looking at her through his eyes as of this moment.
Yuan lifted his arm and gestured for her, "Take me to the Zheng Family. It's our turn to surprise them."
"Yes." White Lotus responded in a low voice before grabbing his hand and flying into the air with him, her heart throbbing with excitement.
