Super Invincible Battleship-Chapter 186 - 115: Assassin Sect

Chapter 186: Chapter 115: Assassin Sect

At eleven o’clock at night, after enduring a long delay, Yan Fei’s airplane finally arrived at Shanghai Airport. He calculated the time and had a sweet call with Wen Rou, who had safely arrived in the United States. However, before he could hang up, another call came through on his mobile phone. He glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Liu Hong’s number, Lu Pingping’s personal bodyguard.

He quickly exchanged a few words with Wen Rou before hanging up to answer Liu Hong’s call. Yan Fei greeted “Hello” several times, but Liu Hong’s voice did not come through. Confused, he checked the number again, thinking Liu Hong might have dialed him by mistake. Just as he was about to end the call, he heard Liu Hong’s weak voice. Even with his exceptional hearing, he could not make out what she was trying to say.

Liu Hong was an outstanding bodyguard recommended by the Shanghai Military Service Center, with strong professional skills. Although she usually spoke quickly and urgently, her voice was loud and clear—she would never sound like this. A shock went through Yan Fei’s heart, and he hastily asked, “Liu Hong… can you hear me? What’s wrong with you?”

Once again, Liu Hong’s faint voice came through the phone, still unintelligible. Then, after a gasp and a few coughs, her voice became clearer, and she said anxiously, “Boss, it’s bad news. Mr. Lu was just kidnapped.”

Yan Fei felt his mind go blank with a “boom,” and it took him a while to collect himself. He quickly asked, “What did you say? Mr. Lu was just kidnapped?”

Liu Hong coughed a few times, her voice weak as she said, “Boss, I’m sorry, we failed to protect him, and Mr. Lu was kidnapped.”

Hearing that Lu Pingping was in trouble, Yan Fei felt dazed as if his soul was about to fly away. But he immediately forced himself to calm down and asked, “Liu Hong, where are you now?”

Liu Hong replied, “I’m in the woods at the end of Hongfei Road…”

Before Liu Hong could finish, the call went silent. Holding the mute phone, Yan Fei became extremely panicked. But he quickly regained his composure and started calling Lu Pingping’s mobile. The automated message indicated that the phone was switched off. Stubborn, he tried calling several more times, but the answer was always the same. He then started calling the landline at Lu Pingping’s house, but the phone rang for a long time without an answer.

Finally, Yan Fei called Lu Pingping’s office, and the call was quickly answered by the secretary she had left in charge at the company. Through the secretary, Yan Fei learned that Lu Pingping had left the company at ten o’clock that evening, along with two female bodyguards. According to Lu Pingping’s schedule, she had planned to go home to rest.

Having calmed down, Yan Fei promptly called the captain of the company’s security team, instructing them to immediately allocate personnel and ensure the safety of the company, particularly the leaders at several key positions. Their security had to be guaranteed.

After arranging security matters, Yan Fei hurriedly drove his car toward Hongfei Road at breakneck speed. His heart was filled with anxiety as he drove recklessly, even ignoring the traffic lights at intersections. Fortunately, this stretch of road was secluded, with no police patrols nearby, otherwise he would have been chased by the police.

In just half an hour, Yan Fei reached the end of Hongfei Road, where a free park lay at the terminus of the highway. The park was well-greened, with many trees, and had the reputation of a forest park. However, it was remote, and at night, it was nearly deserted. Lu Pingping’s house was nearby, so she had to pass through this park on her way home from work.

Yan Fei got out of the car and began searching for Lu Pingping’s bodyguard, Liu Hong. Under the dim park lights, he finally found Lu Pingping’s vehicle on a secluded path. He hurried over and discovered a large hole in the front windshield, smeared with blood. The interior of the car was a mess, bearing the signs of a fierce struggle.

Bodyguard Liu Hong was lying on the driver’s seat, with a huge wound on her abdomen, covered in blood and motionless, her condition unknown. The other bodyguard, Wang Li, lay in front of the car soaked in blood, her neck twisted unnaturally, and the situation looked dire. Lu Pingping, who should have been in the car, was nowhere to be found.

Suppressing the unease in his heart, Yan Fei stepped forward to check for any breath in Wang Li on the ground, only to find her long deceased. Returning to the car, he found that despite Liu Hong’s severe injuries and unconscious state, she still had a faint pulse. Liu Hong had fought desperately, and even with her grievous wounds, she had made a call to Yan Fei to inform him of Lu Pingping’s kidnapping. She had only apologized on the phone and hadn’t mentioned Wang Li’s murder or her own critical injuries.

After confirming the kidnapping of Lu Pingping at the scene, Yan Fei felt an emptiness in his heart, as if he had lost the most important thing. He started to worry. Although Lu Pingping had lived a comfortable life after surviving a family tragedy, she hadn’t experienced much hardship. Now that she was kidnapped, she might face torture, and he wondered whether she would be able to endure.
