Chapter 1150: Chapter 1153: Departure (Part 1)
"Are you determined to wipe us out?" Hao Tianzong was fully on guard.
Not far behind him, Hao Jie and the other two members of the Hao family were already scared stiff.
Meanwhile, Hao Jie could never have imagined that his father was actually preparing to abandon him and escape alone.
This made him feel very uncomfortable.
Lin Xi didnât reply but instead stepped forward.
Hao Tianzong didnât retreat either but continued asking, "Do you really think you can kill me?"
"Let me tell you, Iâm not like those two worthless guys!"
"If you insist on making a move, then you better think it through, youâre also..."
The next moment, everyone saw Lin Xi pass by Hao Tianzong in an instant.
His speed was so fast that even Tong Zhan couldnât see it clearly.
"Also..." Blood was already coming from Hao Tianzongâs mouth.
After Lin Xi took a few steps past him, Hao Tianzong collapsed to the ground.
He would never be able to finish his sentence.
Seeing this scene, the others were all shocked.
The formidable Hao Tianzong was killed just like that!
Lin Xi had managed to kill him so effortlessly.
The speed seemed frighteningly fast, leaving Hao Tianzong completely unable to react.
If they were in his place, the result would be the same.
After all, their strength was far inferior to Hao Tianzongâs.
Tong Zhan was overwhelmed with shock and joy, realizing his earlier decision was absolutely correct.
His benefactor!
An undoubtedly powerful individual.
Clearly beyond the level of a King of Soldiers.
He must be an Innate!
No wonder he managed to take down Dark Dragon!
An Innate, the strongest known being in the world.
Hao Jie and the other two Kings of Soldiers from the Hao family were scared out of their wits, effectively losing all will to resist.
Hongwuâs team took less than two minutes to eliminate the three of them.
At that moment, sirens began to sound outside.
Lin Xi glanced at Tong Zhan, "Iâll leave this place to you. Iâm leaving!"
Before Tong Zhan could respond, Lin Xiâs figure vanished from the Hao residence.
Tong Zhan couldnât even catch his speed.
Tong Zhanâs team exchanged a look, feeling lucky to have sided with such a powerful ally.
The sirens outside didnât worry them too much.
Judging by the sound, the police would take at least a minute to reach the Hao residence.
In that minute, they could clear some tracks and leave quietly.
An hour later, Xiangjiang was in an uproar.
Two hours ago, so many people had died, and cases of trafficking and organ harvesting had been uncovered.
The news was enough to put Xiangjiang at the top of global news.
The cityâs reputation was tarnished worldwide.
Two hours later, a top family was annihilated.
Further investigation revealed that this family was masterminding a human trafficking syndicate.
This caused many Xiangjiang officials to be immediately dismissed.
The Hao family was a prestigious family in Xiangjiang, often praised by the government as an example for the public and other businesses.
But they never expected...
The entire Xiangjiang populace was plunged into reflection and embarrassment.
Meanwhile, Lin Xi sat on the sofa in a presidential suite, watching Ding Yueqiu help Bing Ling with a quick disguise.
Bing Ling would return to the mainland with them the next day.
That evening, they casually ate some hotel meals and stayed in the room without going out.
It was probably because of the dayâs events, which had shaken them considerably.
After all, they then saw reports of the dayâs events online and on the roomâs TV.
Even though Bing Ling had been part of the Hao family for years, she hadnât realized the familyâs true nature.
This made her feel slightly relieved about its downfall.
In truth, she had cut ties with the Hao family long ago.
Moreover, she hadnât given the Hao family an heir during those years.
This wasnât her fault; it was Hao Yusenâs own issue.
She also saved quite a bit of money and sent plenty to her family earlier, so returning now posed no financial worries.
After leaving the Hao residence, Tong Zhanâs team immediately headed to the port and boarded a yacht.
The yacht then departed Xiangjiang.
As for their guests, they abandoned those who hadnât arrived on time.
They couldnât stay long.
Otherwise, Xiangjiang authorities would definitely catch up with them.
While it was uncertain if any evidence would be found, being pursued would still be a hassle.
Furthermore, they were worried about accidentally leaving evidence behind.
They would end up bearing the consequences, despite eliminating threats for the greater good, the punishment would be severe.
So leaving as soon as possible was the best choice.
Once they reached international waters, no one could touch them.
Sitting alone in his room, Tong Zhan recalled the incident at the Hao family and, after some thought, made a phone call, "Transfer one billion to this account!"
Later, Lin Xi received a text message indicating his balance had increased by one billion.
As he wondered who had sent it, Tong Zhan messaged him on WeChat.
Essentially, he expressed gratitude for his benefactorâs repeated rescues.
He sent a small reward, hoping Lin Xi wouldnât mind.
After all, the money meant little to him.
Lin Xi told him not to worry. He helped them as a secondary concern.
Naturally, Lin Xi didnât refuse the money.
In todayâs age, who complains about too much money?
Besides, Lin Xi felt justified in accepting it.
Even as an afterthought, he saved their lives.
Five lives are invaluable, but they canât be quantified in money, and Tong Zhan didnât use the billion to value their lives.
The next day, Lin Xi and his group, including Bing Ling, left Xiangjiang by high-speed train.
They departed without encountering any obstacles.
Even though Xiangjiang was under heavy security, checks were thorough.
But with Lin Xiâs group, they were exempt from scrutiny.
Lin Xi suspected it had something to do with Lin Yanxia.
He noticed that a staff member was overtly respectful towards Lin Yanxia.
It seemed they anticipated her departure from Xiangjiang.
Heading north, their ten-hour journey was smooth, without any incidents like petty gangsters harassing Zhu Ying and her friends.
This was probably because they traveled in business class.
Besides the five of them, there were two other women, with one seat empty.
The two women were curious about Lin Xiâs group but, after a brief exchange, realized the groupâs mood wasnât pleasant.
Except for Lin Xi.
Unfortunately, the two women werenât very attractive and were relatively old.
Lin Xi, being very appearance-conscious, chose to ignore them.
The women didnât press further; instead, they started chatting among themselves.
After eight in the evening, the trainâs announcement was heard, "Passengers please note, Chuzhou City is approaching..."
Once the five of them exited the high-speed train station, a luxurious Mercedes was waiting on the road.
Lin Yanxia walked straight over and turned to Lin Xi, "Lin Xi, you can head back on your own!"
"We just have enough seats, canât fit you, so wonât be giving you a ride!"
