Chapter 968 - Unknown Weapon of Mass Destruction
After Yuan and White Lotus left the scene, helicopters and police cars flooded the place that used to be Zheng Family's branch family.
They were all stunned by the destruction there, and nobody there could imagine the kind of weapon that caused this mess.
"What in god's name happened here? Even a railgun would not be able to cause such destruction."
"Is this a new type of weapon? What could have transpired here that requires such immense power?"
"Hey, isn't this the location of the Zheng Family's mansion? I believe their oldest son, Zheng Weimin, lives here."
"Huh? Are you sure this is the right place?"
"Yes, I am certain that the Zheng Family had a mansion here."
"No way… Does that mean…"
"S-Somebody get in touch with the Zheng Family! This is an emergency!"
The investigators were shocked to learn that a mansion used to exist in this place.
Sometime later, Zheng Ye learned of the situation.
"What the fuck do you mean my family's mansion have disasppeared?! Where is my son, Zheng Weimin?! Is he okay?!"
"I'm sorry, but we do not have any information on your son, but we are looking for him as we speak. Turn on the television, you should see for yourself the situation here…" The head investigator said to him.
Zheng Ye quickly turned on the television with a heavy heart.
"You have got to be fucking kidding me…" Zheng Ye nearly fell out of his seat after seeing the situation.
[About twenty minutes ago, an unknown weapon of mass destruction had detonated in this place, erasing over 1,000 acres of land! The authorities are still trying to figure out what happened here! If you have any information, please call them at…!]
[To think two horrifying incidents would occur in this city in such a short time… Just what on earth is happening? Could this be the work of terrorists?]
"As you can see, Mister Zheng… If your son had been inside or anywhere near the mansion at the time of the incident, it is very unlikely that he would've survived."
"No! NO! I told my son to leave that place when I spoke with him earlier today! He should still be out there somewhere!" Zheng Ye held onto the hope that Zheng Weimin had listened to his advice to go into hiding.
"I want the bastard who did this to be found!"
"Rest assured, Mister Zheng. We will use all of our resources to find the culprit. If there is some madman with a weapon that can cause this much destruction out there, we must catch him and seize the weapon at all cost."
After hanging up, Zheng Ye stared at the television with an ugly expression on his face.
Sometime later, he opened his laptop and started a video call with Bai Mengyao.
"What do you want, Zheng Ye?" Bai Mengyao asked him in an annoyed manner, unaware of the situation yet.
"Y-You bastard! Is this your work?! Did you attack my Zheng Family just now?!"
"Huh? What the fuck are you talking about?"
"Turn on the television and see for yourself!" Zheng Ye shouted.
Bai Mengyao recalled a similar situation happening not long ago, but the roles were reversed this time around.
"Holy shit! What happened here?!" Bai Mengyao was terrified by what he saw on the television.
"Wait! You think my Bai Family has something to do with the news?! That's outrageous! Even more outrageous than the shooting today!"
"It's the truth, isn't it?! My Zheng Family got attacked right after you threatened to attack us! There's no way this could be a coincidence!" Zheng Ye roared.
"Are you out of your mind?! You think my Bai Family is capable of this?! There should be a limit to your imagination! Whatever caused this is obviously not human!"
While Zheng Ye and Bai Mengyao argued back and forth, Yuan and White Lotus returned to the hotel.
"Yuan! Are you okay?!" Chu Liuxiang rushed to his side the moment she saw him enter the room.
"Yes, I am fine." He nodded.
"What happened? Did you find any evidence?" Meixiu asked him.
"Yes, Zheng Weimin confessed to hiring the assassins this morning. However, he didn't tell us how to contact the assassins, so we're not completely safe yet, and I won't rest until I find the bastards that shot at us." Yuan said.
"I see… What about Zheng Weimin?"
"I killed him. I didn't want to risk having him come after us again in the future. I'm sorry if my decision disappointed you."
"No, I understand why you did it, and I don't blame you. I'm sorry for making you bear everything for us…"
"It's fine." Yuan shook his head.
After a moment of silence, Chu Liuxiang suddenly spoke, "By the way… Your eyes… They're red."
"Yes. I have somehow regained my vision, so I can see again now." Yuan finally revealed the truth to them.
"What! No way! Really?!" Chu Liuxiang exploded with excitement.
"I'm serious." He nodded with a gentle smile on his face.
"To think this would happen right before Yu Rou's birthday… This is going to be an even bigger surprise than the concert." Meixiu smiled.
"Indeed. That's why I must take care of these assassins before then. I want the birthday surprise to be perfect."
White Lotus entered the room sometime later and said, "Yuan, I had the experts look into Zheng Weimin's cell phone and laptop, and they found a phone number and address that might allow us to contact the assassins."
"Perfect."
Yuan turned to look at Meixiu and Chu Liuxiang and said to them, "I will finish everything this time."
"Stay safe. They're dangerous enough to shoot us in broad daylight." Meixiu said.
Yuan chuckled, "I doubt it'll be any more dangerous than what I have already experienced at the Zheng Family."
After Yuan left with White Lotus, Chu Liuxiang decided to relax a little and open the television that happened to be on a news channel.
"M-Meixiu… Look at this…" Chu Liuxiang called for her.
"My god… Wait… this happened only half an hour ago?" Meixiu swallowed nervously and turned to look at the door that Yuan just left from.
"You think he's responsible for this?"
Meixiu smiled and said, "If anyone is capable of doing this, it could only be him."
