"What’s your name, kid?"
"Ji Jingxu. You?"
"Ting... I’m Gu Ting."
Jingxu looks at Ting. He was confused. Even at a time like this, he still wants introduction? And kid? Ting doesn’t look that much older than him..
Ting laid on the cold floor. He was in a lot of pain from his broken leg and with both his hands tied behind his back, laying down was all he can do. Also, it wasn’t such a bad idea too. He looks at Jingxu and furrow his brows.
Ji....
"You’re from ’that’ Ji family?"
"Mm."
Jingxu nod his head, "My grandfather is General Ji."
"Heh, you’re pretty lucky kid. To be born from a good family, I’m sure your grandfather has already sent a search party for you."
Like a closed wound had suddenly open, Jingxu stare at Ting with pain. He knows how it feels to lose all hope in mankind and envy those rich kids.
Because, he wasn’t born rich... he was just lucky to have met the old couple back then...
"I’m sure my grandfather will rescue us." Then remembering something, his eyes held a tinge of hope, "There’s still hope, my Jie, she is back, so she will definitely find us."
Ting looks at Jingxu, then back to the ceiling.

*claaaash!*
Upstairs in the warehouse, a glass of wine was thrown onto the ground.
"What did you say?!"
The middle aged man grab one of his subordinate’s shirt, "You’re telling me that woman’s dead?!"
"Y-Yes. She’s been dead for an hour now."
"Fuck!!!"
The middle aged man loosens his grip and stumbles backwards, falling onto his chair.
How disgusting was this? He was fucking a dead woman! Shit!
"Throw both their bodies in the wood. The animals can clean up this mess."
"Yes boss!"
The subordinate quickly leaves the room, who knows what his boss will do.
Massaging his temple, the middle age man pours himself a glass of wine. Remembering something, he reach for his phone and calls someone.
After a few rings, someone answers from the other line.
"I have two innocent lives in my hand. If you want them alive, bring 10 billion yuan to the same place."
["You—!"]
The man didn’t wait to negotiate, he quickly hangs up. Sitting down, the dead woman’s face suddenly appears in his head.
’Fuck!!!’
He throws the glass of wine at the wall as he cringe in disgust. He is the boss of the Ghost Gang, the ruthless man who shows no mercy to anyone he crosses. How can a fucking dead woman scare him?
*ring ring*
Hearing his phone, he sneers. Taking a deep breath, he quickly picks up his phone.
"Ah, that was quick, have you made up your mind already?"
He grin ear to ear listening to the other person speak, but the longer he listens, his face turn disoriented by the second.
Clenching the phone, he slams it on the table. His breathing became rapid and unsteady.
He grit his teeth with veins on his forehead.
"Bring those two useless waste here!"

Lu Tian and three of his men arrived just outside of the warehouse. He hides behind a tree and signals with his hand to move forward.
Two of his men quickly make their move, their guns out and ready to shoot anyone. Quietly, they scan the premises for a clear call, however, there was no one and everything was silent. Only the sound of birds in the distance.
"...."

Seeing this, Lu Tian frowns. Earlier when his team scout from the mountain, there were more than fifty men keeping watch. How can the place be cleared already?
*shzz*
["Captain, we found two bodies, west."]
"Mm."
Now, Lu Tian feels something is definitely out of place. This mission was unauthorized and no one else should know about it.
"West point now."
As Lu Tian and his three men make their way to the west side of the warehouse, he tries to process everything.
The only reason why he and his team are here is because this underworld gang has taken innocent civilians hostages.
His old man happened to be at the police station earlier with General Ji and that was when a kid came in to show an email to the cops.
They didn’t speak to the kid, but they knew it was a call for help. The boy was enough proof that his end was near deaths door.
From his father’s words, the cops didn’t do anything, but that didn’t mean the Lu family was going to sit by. Lu Tian and his men had tried to locate the boy but it was as if he disappeared without a trace.
And after Xu Long’s intense amount of hacking every cctv in Imperial, that was how they ended up here, but.....
"Jiang Yu."
Arriving at the West Point, Lu Tian looks at his subordinate that radio him.
