X-ray Eyes Little Wild Doctor-Chapter 214 - 209: Deadly Intent in the Dark Night
Chapter 214: Chapter 209: Deadly Intent in the Dark Night
"The blood color inside the crystal has become more intense, and if it continues like this, it won’t be five days before it’s full. By then..."
Ye Tian wiped the bloodstain from the corner of his mouth, his expression somewhat dim, fearing the very thing he had been dreading was about to happen.
"People say that life and death are destined, and wealth is in the hands of the heavens, but I simply refuse to believe in fate."
Ye Tian clenched his fists, his eyes sparkling with a dazzling light, "If the heavens intend to blind me then I will pierce through the sky, and if the earth intends to obstruct my path then I will shatter the mountains and rivers! I, Ye Tian, am determined to defy the heavens. My fate is mine to control, not the heavens’ to dictate!"
The intense pain soon passed, and Ye Tian returned to normal, as the startled flight attendants and the captain gradually left to tend to other matters.
The Boeing plane swiftly crossed the Pacific Ocean, and the dark blue ocean beneath the clouds was slowly replaced by land. The Asian continent once again entered Ye Tian’s sight.
In the early morning twilight, the Boeing jet landed at the Capital International Airport. Ye Tian walked out of the plane, following the returning crowd through the corridor.
Though it was already the early hours, the Capital was still bustling with traffic, and the city dwellers’ beloved nightlife was just beginning.
Ye Tian purchased a plane ticket back to River City for the next day, booked a high-end room at a nearby star-rated hotel, placed the rosewood case by the bed, took a bath, and then fell into a deep sleep.
At some unknown point, footsteps echoed in the hotel corridor, the tapping of several large leather shoes on the floor, which was quite unsettling. A vigilant Ye Tian awoke from his dreams, straining to listen.
"There are three people in total, at least 1.8 meters tall, all of them trained fighters," Ye Tian quickly assessed, sneering, "This is getting more interesting by the minute; looks like they’re here for me."
"I don’t have any enemies in the Capital, could these people be from the Wang Family?" Ye Tian thought indifferently.
At that moment, he remembered Wang Qiang who had mentioned before his death that the Wang Family’s influence in the Capital was not weak and that they would not let him go.
"Since the guests have arrived, I can only prepare to receive them." Ye Tian’s mouth curled into a bloodthirsty arc.
No sooner had he spoken than the electronic lock on the room door beeped and then automatically opened.
Three burly, expressionless assassins burst into Ye Tian’s bedroom at lightning speed, securing advantageous positions.
Three silenced pistols aimed simultaneously at Ye Tian, who lay in bed.
Ye Tian, half reclining on the bed, smiled faintly, lighting a cigarette in his mouth, "Are you people from the Wang Family?"
"Cut the crap and go ask King Yan in hell!" The cold-faced assassin was indeed very professional, never revealing the identity of their employer.
The three assassins fired at once. The silenced guns emitted a muffled ’pfft pfft’ as the expert gunmen simultaneously double-tapped, ejecting six bullets toward Ye Tian’s head and heart—all aimed at the most deadly spots.
The assassins were certain that their target was as good as dead and subconsciously lowered their weapons.
However, the bullets puffed into the bed, feathers from the duvet flying everywhere, but there was no sign of Ye Tian; he had already vanished from the bed.
What!!!
All three assassins were startled, and at that moment, a sinister and fierce voice rang out.
"If you won’t tell the truth, then I’m afraid I must apologize; I have no use for you."
When Ye Tian reappeared, he was already behind the assassins, twisting both hands forcefully.
Crack!
The neck of the middle assassin was instantly twisted!
"This... how is this possible!" The assassin on the right was filled with horror, having not seen how Ye Tian got behind him.
"Damn it, this guy’s a monster, he... dodged our bullets!"
The other assassin was petrified, but despite their panic, years of professional training still kicked in, and the two raised their guns, ready to pull the trigger again.
But it was already too late!
Ye Tian, like a ghost, delivered a palm strike, instantly severing the middle assassin’s neck!
The man’s head drooped immediately, blood flowing from seven orifices, the terrifying force having shattered his brain.
Yet in his eyes lingered endless fear and disbelief!
That wasn’t all. Ye Tian reached out with one hand, grasping the last assassin by the neck and lifting him bodily into the air!
"Now, are you ready to talk? Just who sent you to kill me?" Ye Tian’s face grew darker with killing intent, ready, at the slightest pressure, to crush the man’s throat.
By now, the assassin was so scared he was completely limp, his eyes bulging and his body dripping with cold sweat. He had never imagined he would encounter such a terrifying being. If he had known it would come to this, he would never have dared attempt to kill Ye Tian.
"It was... the Wang Family, they found me, asked me to bring people to kill you, and promised me a hefty sum after the job was done," the assassin stammered, his crotch already wet.
"The Wang Family? It was indeed them!"
Ye Tian’s lips curled into a cold smile, a flash of chill passed through his eyes, and he slightly increased the pressure of his fingers, snap—a crisp sound, and the assassin’s neck was broken.
"It seems I hadn’t guessed wrong," Ye Tian snorted coldly. "I came straight to the hotel after getting off the plane. The fact that they could find me in such a short amount of time shows they are indeed well-connected in the Capital City."
In an instant, three professional assassins turned into cold corpses. Ye Tian quickly dealt with the bodies, closed the door, returned to his large bed, covered himself with the blanket, and began to snore heavily, as if nothing had happened.
The next day, Ye Tian checked out of the room, left the hotel, and returned to the airport. Carrying his rosewood case, he boarded a plane to Jiang City.
"Jiang City, I, Ye Tian, have returned." Ye Tian was in an exceptionally good mood.
At this very moment, in the Wang Family of Jiang City.
The Tibetan Mastiff was pitch black all over, its lengthy and thick fur making it resemble a majestic lion. Caged by Wang Qian, it was fed live chickens and ducks to keep it from forgetting the taste of blood.
After the incident at the Morning Light Machinery Factory, Wang Qian had become much more restrained. He rarely left the Wang Family estate, spending his days feeding the Mastiff and watching soccer games, as if he were an old man conserving his strength.
The elders of the Wang Family said Wang Qian had grown up; he was much more settled than before.
What they didn’t know was that Wang Qian was merely biding his time, never having forgotten his grudge against Ye Tian.
Today’s meal for the Mastiff was a rabbit. Wang Qian personally threw it into the iron cage and watched the ferocious dog tear the rabbit to shreds—an act of bloody satisfaction that made his blood boil.
"Ye Tian, sooner or later, I will feed you to the dogs! Just you wait!" Wang Qian’s gaze was ferocious.
Just then, his phone suddenly rang. Wang Qian glanced at it, gave some quick instructions, and then left the Wang Family compound, heading back to his privately run club that he had managed for many years.
Inside the private club.
"How’s the information I asked you to gather? Has he come back yet?" Wang Qian sat in a spacious chair and barked at his subordinate.
The person who had gone to collect information immediately said, "Boss, I’ve just found out everything—Ye Tian hasn’t come back yet. No one knows where he’s gone; we don’t have any news at all; everyone’s in the dark."
"Oh?" Wang Qian’s eyes lit up.
"If he hasn’t returned at this time, huh, it’s likely he won’t come back at all." Thinking this, a sinister smile crept onto Wang Qian’s face.
"Boss, does that mean we should make our move?" the subordinate said, "Recently, I’ve heard that Wang Bingbing’s influence is growing stronger, and many underworld forces have pledged allegiance to her. Shouldn’t we strike against her?"
"You know nothing!" Wang Qian sneered, "Wang Bingbing is no threat at all. The one I’m really concerned about is Ye Tian. Let me ask you again, Ye Tian hasn’t returned up to now, right?"
"Yes, I can confirm that," said the subordinate.
"Excellent!" Wang Qian grinned wildly, waving his hand grandly, "Tell the Four Kings that they have something to do soon, have them all prepare."
"Understood, boss. You can count on us," the subordinate replied.
"And listen carefully everyone, if Ye Tian doesn’t return by tomorrow, then I reckon he never will. If that’s the case, our time for revenge has come."
Wang Qian’s lips twisted into a malicious smile, saying in an insidious tone, "When that time comes, all of Ye Tian’s women will share in the misfortune, I won’t spare a single one! Hahaha!"
"You are wise, boss!" the subordinate immediately flattered.
"Ye Tian, Ye Tian, I never thought you’d have today. Seems like you’ve got quite a few enemies out there. Good, dead for good, hahaha!" Wang Qian laughed arrogantly, his expression full of schadenfreude.
"Listen up, if Ye Tian doesn’t return by tomorrow, then start by wiping out that bitch Wang Bingbing first. When the time comes, I’ll have her groveling at my feet!" Wang Qian’s face was twisted with a cruel smile:
"As for Ye Tian’s women, I won’t let any of them off; bring them all to me, let me have my fun, and then kill them off, hahaha!"
"Boss, those chicks are all top-notch. After you’ve had your fun, can you let your brothers have a go too?" the subordinate asked with a grin.
"That’s possible," Wang Qian laughed, "Ye Tian, oh Ye Tian, it’s your own fault for messing with me. You asked for this!"
Three o’clock in the afternoon.
A plane from the Capital City landed at the airport of Jiang City.
Carrying that rosewood case, Ye Tian walked out of the airport alone.
"Haven’t come back in over a month, Jiang City still looks the same, no changes at all."
Breathing in the familiar air and looking at the familiar cityscape, Ye Tian stood on the wide road, truly feeling like he was coming home.
After hailing a cab, Ye Tian told the driver clearly, "Go to Jin Guan City."
