"You scoundrel, you bastard!" Lin Qingzhu stamped her feet in anger in the living room.
"That's enough, what kind of behavior is that?!" Lin Dong glared at his daughter and went upstairs.
"Good daughter, don't rush," her mother said, pulling her daughter to sit down. "His phone might be dead. At this time, you should be worried about your man's safety, not complaining!"
"Bah, it's better if he's dead!" Lin Qingzhu was still very agitated. Tonight was their wedding night!
"I'm going to sleep!"
"I'm sleepy too!"
Her elder brother Lin Feng and his wife Jiang Chunmei didn't even try to persuade her; they seemed completely unconcerned. Tired from the day, they went upstairs to sleep.
"What are you blabbering about?" Her younger brother-in-law Lin Bin approached, a cigarette in his mouth. "You're always scolding my brother-in-law and insisting he can't touch you. With someone like you, it's normal for him to elope with the beautiful Miss Tang."
"Get lost!"
"Did I say something wrong? My brother-in-law is amazing, rich, handsome, and invincible. The people attending this wedding, our Lin family can't even afford to be a doorman for them. Don't you understand what's going on?"
"Understand my ass!"
"Fine, you continue being stubborn. In a couple of days, when my brother-in-law comes back and divorces you, you'll regret it even if you cry. Women must always examine their own status and position!"
"Get lost, get lost, you're so annoying!"
"I can't be bothered with you!" Lin Bin also pouted and went back to his room.
"You better think about it." Sun Fengzhi was not satisfied either. She pushed her daughter and reprimanded, "My son-in-law is so outstanding, what more are you unhappy about? Yes, you are beautiful, but does he lack beautiful women?"
"Mom, what do you mean?" Lin Qingzhu was confused by her own family.
"I'm going to sleep too!" Her mother left in a huff.
Lin Qingzhu was left alone in the vast living room. The most beautiful bride, who had just gotten married, suddenly felt a sense of loss. She was actually thinking about him? Really, really thinking about him!
"Am I... becoming a gold digger?" Lin Qingzhu murmured helplessly.
The entire family's betrayal made Lin Qingzhu seriously reflect. She was naturally aloof. Did she really have to change her personality for Ye Zixiao?
On the outskirts of Jiangcheng!
With Tang Keke's financial power, four police cars from a Jiangcheng police station, two in front and two behind, escorting Ye Zixiao's pickup truck, drove forward. In the lead car, there was a director. With a police officer of the director's level leading the way, the convoy passed through numerous checkpoints without hindrance, entered Jiangcheng, drove onto the main street, and headed towards a lake in the city center.
It was half-past one in the morning.
The convoy stopped!
The director from the lead car got out and ran to the passenger seat of the pickup truck. He said to Tang Keke, "Miss Tang, this road leads only to the Xiao family's estate. We won't escort you any further!"
"Alright!" Tang Keke smiled charmingly. "Thank you very much, Director Luo. Please convey my thanks to your chief. Tell him I invited him to visit Beihai when he has time."
"Certainly, certainly!" Director Luo said and left.
All four police cars drove away. Ye Zixiao sat there, craning his neck to look up. He saw that on this mountain within the city, there was only one road leading upwards. The Xiao family was truly powerful, occupying an entire mountain!
The pickup truck started and began to climb the slope along the road. After driving uphill for about a kilometer, the road became flat. He could already see a castle on the mountaintop, brilliantly lit, built like a large entertainment complex. About a hundred meters away, there was a large iron gate guarded by soldiers. He could vaguely see that this checkpoint had defensive fortifications!
"The Xiao family is very afraid of death!" Ye Zixiao said with a cold voice.
"Are we still going?"
"No, let's stop here!"
"We're getting out?"
"Yes, I came here to deliver heads. I've killed enough people today, and I'm a bit tired. Leave the car, and we'll walk down the mountain. Arrange a hotel for yourself, stay a night, and then leave."
"Okay!" After their conversation, they both opened their car doors and got out.
At the checkpoint a hundred meters away, soldiers noticed the unlit car. After shouting a few times with no response, two soldiers rushed over with their rifles. But by the time they arrived, Ye Zixiao and Tang Keke were already gone.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know!"
"You check, I'll report."
"Okay!" After a brief exchange, a soldier started to inspect the car with his rifle, while another began to use his walkie-talkie, first to inform them to strengthen their security, and then to call for a squad leader.
The pickup truck Ye Zixiao drove was a very advanced and even luxurious vehicle. After the two soldiers inspected it and found no one inside, they began to figure out how to open the cover of the truck bed.
"What's going on?" The squad leader on duty arrived with his men.
"There's no one in the car!" A soldier immediately reported.
"Did you check the back?"
"We don't know how to open it!"
"So damn stupid!" The squad leader cursed, got into the car, started it, and pressed a button, then jumped out. At this moment, the electric cover was slowly opening. Seven or eight soldiers with rifles backed away from the rear of the car. They were worried about bombs. But after the cover was fully opened, although no danger was found, a strong smell of blood emanated from it. The soldiers all covered their noses because the smell was so potent!
"You two, go take a look." The squad leader ordered two soldiers.
"Squad leader, I don't dare!"
"I'm scared too, are there dead people?" The two soldiers were truly terrified. They had fought in wars and were not unfamiliar with the smell of blood, but in the dark, with such a strong smell of blood from a truck bed, it was frightening to think about.
"Damn it, what's there to be afraid of with dead people?" The squad leader kicked a soldier but didn't force him further. Instead, he took out his pistol and led the way. When his flashlight shone into the truck bed, he froze instantly!
Let's imagine. In the dark of night, holding a flashlight, you shine it into an unfamiliar truck bed, and in the beam of light, it's densely packed with human heads, their eyes staring at you with a final, unresigned gaze! What would your reaction be?
"My God!" The squad leader suddenly wailed. He collapsed onto the ground.
*Squish*— The squad leader on night duty... had diarrhea!
"Squad leader, what's wrong?"
"Quick, go take a look."
"What's going on?!" The soldiers no longer cared about their fear. Two of them went to help the squad leader, while the rest held their guns, letting their muzzles enter the truck bed first before daring to move closer to inspect. Six or seven flashlights shone in. The sight of the human heads was even more terrifying!
"Holy crap!"
"Ahhhh, what the hell?!"
"Awooo…" Seeing a truckload of heads, the soldiers erupted in chaos. Some jumped high into the air, some let out dog-like cries. Every single one of them was scared incontinent! Human heads! A truckload! Anyone would be terrified!
Ten minutes later... Xiao Bahuang, the patriarch of the Xiao family, sat in a living room wearing his pajamas. Looking at the photos sent by his subordinate, he was stunned speechless for a long time. Another ten minutes passed. Xiao Daguo, Xiao Erhu, Xiao Santai, Xiao Sihai, and Xiao Wuhu were all awakened and rushed to Xiao Bahuang's living room. Upon seeing the photos, they were all astonished!
Ye Zixiao was truly audacious. Jiangcheng was currently under a city-wide lockdown, a city in rebellion. The reinforcements from the country of Sunrise were about to arrive, and at this time, he dared to deliver heads to the Xiao family! And a whole truckload of them! This truckload of heads had completely shocked the Xiao family!
