A Billion-Dollar Ransom

Qin Family Villa.

Qin Zhengwei punched the tea table. His beloved antique tea set rolled onto the ground and smashed into pieces, but at this moment, he didn't have the time to care.

"Tell me, what do you want to do!"

He shouted angrily at the big screen.

On the other end of the video call on the screen was a dark factory.

A middle - aged man wearing sunglasses, with his face unclear, was facing the screen.

"Mr. Qin, it's been a long time since we last met!"

The middle - aged man in sunglasses greeted Qin Zhengwei with a friendly smile.

"Butcher!"

Qin Zhengwei's face was cold. He stared at the middle - aged man in sunglasses on the screen, his fists clenched tightly. "Where is Qin Yao! If anything happens to her, I'll fight you to the death!"

"Yo yo, who are you threatening!"

Butcher sneered and moved the screen to change the camera.

In the empty and shabby factory.

Qin Yao's hands were tied, and she was bound to a chair with a black blindfold over her eyes.

Next to her was a black woman in a tight - fitting suit with a hot figure. It was Viper.

"Miss Qin, your father is calling you. Come, face the camera." Butcher said with a smile.

Qin Yao bit her lower lip and said nothing.

"Stubborn - mouthed!"

Viper popped out a steel needle from her hand and directly pierced Qin Yao's arm. Blood dripped down her flawless white hand.

"Damn it, stop it!"

Seeing his daughter's arm directly pierced by the sharp steel needle, Qin Zhengwei roared like a madman.

"Dad, don't worry. I'm fine. They won't dare to do anything to me."

Qin Yao's face was as pale as a sheet. She was in so much pain that her smooth forehead was covered with sweat, and her lips were bitten through, but she still forced a smile.

Seeing this, Butcher was surprised. "Unexpectedly, a young lady of your status is so tough."

Enduring the pain of a steel - needle piercing through the arm without making a sound, not to mention an ordinary person, even most of the killers in their organization might not be able to do it.

Butcher couldn't help but think highly of Qin Yao.

"Let Qin Yao go. Don't hurt a single hair on her! No matter what your request is, I'll agree to it! As long as I can do it!"

Qin Zhengwei's arms were bulging with veins because of his excitement.

Butcher said with a smile, "I knew you were a sensible man, Mr. Qin. Well, I want one billion!"

"One billion!"

Hearing this, Qin Zhengwei's face changed slightly.

His assets were far more than one billion. After all, he was the boss of a multi - billion - dollar enterprise. However, as the chairman of the company, it would be a huge problem to come up with so much cash.

The company's capital chain couldn't be broken. Once it did, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Give me some time. I'll go and raise the money."

Qin Zhengwei said hoarsely.

He didn't care about anything else.

As long as his daughter was okay, even if he went bankrupt, so what!

"Hehe, Mr. Qin is still so sensible. It's really comfortable to do business with smart people. I'll give you one day. If I don't see the money tomorrow night, you can wait to collect Miss Qin's body."

Butcher grinned.

He had a good plan. Once Qin Zhengwei came up with the one - billion, it would be difficult for his company to operate.

Without capital turnover and with some mistakes, Qin Zhengwei wouldn't be able to make up for them! Just wait for the company to go bankrupt!

"Oh, by the way, one more thing. Don't even think about finding me. You won't be able to find my location. Just pay the money obediently and don't play any tricks."

Butcher said confidently, and the screen gradually dimmed.

Meanwhile, near an abandoned factory.

An Yi was quietly on the phone. "Bai Xiu, have you found the location I asked you to crack?"

"Right away!"

Bai Xiu's fingers were flying over the extremely slow second - hand computer like a dancing butterfly. He took a bite of the fried dough stick in his mouth, put it down, and said, "Piece of cake. I've sent you the location in a private message. Check it out."

After hanging up the phone.

An Yi took out his phone and opened the navigation according to the location sent by Bai Xiu.

"Bai Xiu has already found Butcher's location. Look."

An Yi pointed to his phone for Lin Chen.

Lin Chen asked suspiciously, "How did he crack it?"

"I don't know, but according to Qin Shan, this guy Bai Xiu suddenly had an epiphany while sleeping and became a hacker genius overnight. Don't worry about this. Let's first look at Qin Yao's location..."

An Yi gestured the infiltration route, and the two discussed it together.

They already knew the number and strength of the enemy from Tiger Cannon.

It would be difficult to fight them head - on. They had to act secretly!

...

At night.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The gentle breeze brought a bit of coolness to the summer night.

Guards in uniforms were standing with guns in their hands, looking around warily on both sides.

Crack!

Click!

Lin Chen and An Yi appeared from behind. One used a neck - breaking move, and the other used a karate chop to knock out the two guards.

Looking at the guard knocked out by An Yi's karate chop and lying on the ground, Lin Chen raised his eyebrows at An Yi.

Was this guy provoking him?

He used so much force to deal with a guard.

"Let's go!"

An Yi said indifferently.

The two sneaked all the way and quietly made their way into the factory.

They were getting closer and closer to Qin Yao.

"Be careful, there are infrared rays!"

Lin Chen stared at the complicated factory layout and frowned slightly.

Suddenly! The alarm bell rang.

Lin Chen looked at An Yi coldly and said, "What did you do?"

An Yi raised his hands and said in surprise, "What the hell? I didn't do anything!"

At this time, several guards carrying clubs rushed out and ran towards Lin Chen and An Yi.

"There are intruders!"

"Freeze!"

"Quickly inform Brother Tu!"

Lin Chen and An Yi stood back to back, watching the guards with clubs surrounding them.

"How about it? Can you do it?"

An Yi asked.

Lin Chen said coldly, "Just don't let me down."

After saying that, the two launched an attack on the group of guards.

In Xia Country, it wasn't easy to bring out guns.

So the guards mostly used electric batons, knives and other weapons.

In close - quarter combat.

Lin Chen was an expert. His movements were crisp and sharp. He dodged the attacks while counter - attacking.

His moves were simple and brutal! He could disable a guard with basically two moves!

In contrast, An Yi was much more sneaky.

He wouldn't fight head - on. Instead, he would dodge the attacks and then attack from behind.

One punch! One kick!

The guards were sent flying like leaves and crashed heavily into the factory equipment. Even the iron drums were dented.

The power of his back - stabbing attacks was terrifying, and even Lin Chen beside him couldn't help but look at him frequently.

There were eight guards in total, four for each of them. In the blink of an eye, they were all knocked down.

At this time, a sniper rifle was quietly aimed at them.

"It seems we've been targeted."

An Yi sighed slightly.

Lin Chen said, "Yeah."

Almost at the same time, the two dodged to one side.

A bullet streaked through the night sky, passing through the space between the two of them.

"Is this for real! You didn't hit a single one!"

Wolf Eye carried the sniper rifle, looking annoyed as he spat.

Blue Shark laughed and said, "Dig out your eyeballs. The bullet passed right between the two of them. You're really something."

"Boss Tu talks as if he's full of hot air. He's always boasting about his hacker skills, but right after he said that, someone found our lair."

Wolf Eye threw away the sniper rifle, slowly took out a dagger from his pocket, licked his lips and said, "How should we divide them?"

"That cold poker face is the guy who defeated Tiger Cannon. And the loser beside him beat Red Poison in the underground boxing ring. Which one do you want to choose?"

Blue Shark's eyes with smoky makeup showed a bit of excitement as he said with a playful smile.

"Who the hell are you calling a loser!"

An Yi bared his teeth and stared menacingly at Blue Shark, cracking his knuckles. "Lao Lin, I'll deal with this weirdo with piercings all over his face. You take care of the one with the gun!"

Just Became Emperor, Already Assassinated by the Son of Destiny

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
