Chapter 384: Chapter 383: Want to Live
Staggering into his home, Sun Xingyu’s blurry eyes instantly sharpened the moment he closed the door.
He was indeed being watched.
Although the people from the bar did not follow him, they were replaced by another group, yet his keen senses were not fooled.
The followers were skilled, including experts in tracking, but once Sun Xingyu became alert, no matter how well they hid, they couldn’t escape his detection.
After briefly regaining clarity in his eyes, Sun Xingyu thought of a possibility and resumed his feigned drunken stupor.
He walked inside the house, first went to the kitchen to pour himself a glass of water to drink.
Then, swaying and cursing, he stripped off his clothes and flopped into bed, falling into a deep sleep.
Through actions like turning over, Sun Xingyu searched his room and finally relaxed when he confirmed there were no surveillance devices installed.
He got up from the bed, checked the room carefully and after confirming there were no cameras or listening devices, he jumped off the bed and pushed it aside to reveal the fluffy carpet underneath.
Under the carpet was a central control floor tile, which when pried open revealed a hidden compartment.
The compartment contained special firearms, chemicals, a wireless phone, and various passports and cash.
Sun Xingyu took out the phone first, turned it on, and after some adjustments, the phone finally got a signal.
He was only twenty-eight, young and promising, with plenty of good times still ahead of him.
He wanted to live.
Just to survive, nothing more.
For the benefit of his family, for the safety of his mother and young sister, he had betrayed a former friend against his conscience.
But now, for their own interests, the family wanted to use him as bait to lure Boss Tang.
They even wanted to make him a scapegoat to appease the anger of the Zhuge family.
Why must it be him?
What right?
Didn’t the family see any of his hard work and efforts?
Zhuge Hong and Zhuge Wei’s disappearance was due to their own incompetence, why blame him?
Sun Xingyu felt incredibly angry.
And utterly helpless.
The Overseas Sun Family was powerfully influential; as a member, he was admired and respected in the Chinese community abroad.
But how many people truly understood his helplessness and sorrow?
He was just a small man struggling to live well.
Previously, because of many concerns, he had made choices that were not his own.
Now, he wanted to make a choice for himself.
He just wanted to survive.
Having made his decision, Sun Xingyu sent a message with the phone: "I agree to your terms."
...
In a luxurious presidential suite, Yang Fei sat on a sofa with a glass of red wine in one hand, puffing on a cigar.
On the ground in front of him, a Mixed-race man knelt with a pale face, his eyes filled with deep fear and despair.
Wang Lei stood next to the Mixed-race man, his face wearing a gentle smile as he looked at the man and said, "Don’t be afraid, we’re not demons. We don’t kill the innocent without reason, just cooperate with us. "
The Mixed-race man quickly shook his head and said, "I... I really don’t know anything, if I cooperate with you, I won’t be able to stand it here, I will die without a place to be buried."
"So you’re choosing to die right here now?" Wang Lei said helplessly.
"No, no, I don’t want to die, I really don’t want to die, please, I really don’t know anything about the Sun family," the Mixed-race man pleaded desperately.
Wang Lei looked at Yang Fei.
Yang Fei smiled and said, "My dear friend, we’ve known each other for more than a day or two, haven’t I always paid you well for information?"
The Mixed-race man nodded vigorously, "Yes, but I have never deceived you with the information before."
"So I highly recognize your intelligence capabilities. In C state, the Sun Family’s power is extraordinary, and with your abilities, it’s impossible not to be aware of the Sun Family’s situation," Yang Fei said with a smile.
The mixed-race man turned pale, and said, "Offending the Sun Family, I would die a terrible death."
"Tang, I think we should just go find the Sun Family directly, why waste time here?" Wang Lei put his hand on the mixed-race man’s shoulder and said to Yang Fei.
A force flowed into his body from the mixed-race man’s shoulder, causing his heart rate to increase suddenly. He felt an enormous load on his heart, as if it was about to burst, and a sense of unprecedented fear welled up inside him.
"I... I’ll talk," the mixed-race man pleaded repeatedly in fear: "Don’t kill me, I’ll talk."
"The Sun Family seems to have encountered some trouble recently..."
The mixed-race man began, "A while ago, two very special guests visited the Sun Family. These two had Eastern faces and wore somewhat ancient attire, and they were highly regarded by the Sun Family. However, they stayed only an hour before leaving."
"Leaving with them was Sun Xingyu, who disappeared for several days and then returned alone."
"Sun Xingyu hadn’t been back for three days when many unfamiliar faces appeared around here. These people seemed to be in contact with the Sun Family’s members, but very secretly. Moreover, these people have been following Sun Xingyu this past few days, I’m not sure if they’re protecting him or monitoring him. Anyway, the recent events in the Sun Family seem to be related to Sun Chuansheng, that illegitimate son."
The mixed-race man then talked a lot about some special incidents that had recently happened in the Sun Family, even including gossip about whose wife was cheating.
"That’s really all I know. The Sun Family is secretive, and there are many things we want to know but simply can’t figure out."
Yang Fei and Wang Lei ignored him.
Based on this person’s statements, the two of them could now confirm that the person who had taken the Zhuge family to the island to try to rescue Zhang Yunlong was Sun Xingyu.
Wang Lei looked at Yang Fei.
Yang Fei appeared calm, but a complex glint passed through his eyes.
Though mentally prepared, the confirmation of the truth was still hard to handle.
"Why would Sun Xingyu be monitored upon his return, and moreover, those monitoring him are not members of the Sun Family?" Wang Lei asked Yang Fei.
Yang Fei forced a smile and said, "It must be Sky Net’s people, they are lying in wait."
Wang Lei immediately got it, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he snorted coldly: "Do they really think we’re easy to manipulate?"
Yang Fei looked at the mixed-race man and said, "You can go now."
The mixed-race man thought he had heard wrong and cautiously looked at Yang Fei: "You... you’re really letting me go?"
Yang Fei nodded: "After leaving, you can inform the Sun Family, or act as if nothing happened."
The mixed-race man immediately said, "I swear to God, I absolutely won’t reveal anything about our meeting, because nothing happened tonight."
Yang Fei smiled, gestured for him to leave.
As long as the mixed-race man didn’t want to die, he wouldn’t inform the Sun Family after leaving.
The Sun Family would certainly not let someone who had betrayed them live.
After the mixed-race man left, Wang Lei asked, "Shall we find Sun Xingyu?"
Yang Fei stood up, put down his glass, and nodded: "Let’s go, let’s meet him."
...
"Slap!"
At the Sun Family, Sun Chuansheng fiercely slapped his eldest son, Sun Xingwen, causing him to stagger, nearly flying away.
A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, but Sun Xingwen did not resist. He bowed respectfully, the epitome of guilt.
Sun Chuansheng angrily said, "He is your blood brother. I know you’ve always been wary of him, but he has never thought about competing with you. Do you really want him dead? Don’t you realize that even if you inherit the Sun Family, without the support of powerful and reliable people, you won’t last long?"
Sun Xingwen bowed his head and said, "I understand, but... the Zhuge family insists on an explanation, and I had to hand him over."
Hearing about the Zhuge family, Sun Chuansheng’s anger instantly turned into a helpless sigh.
He seemed to age significantly all at once.
At that moment, the phone rang.
Sun Chuansheng glanced at the number and said in a heavy voice, "They have arrived, you... go ahead."
After speaking, he painfully closed his eyes.
Though an illegitimate son, he was still his biological son and a very excellent one at that.
But what could be done? Such was the fate of the child!
