14: Slaughter them?

Five or six days later, less than ten days remained until the Apocalypse.

For the past few days, light rain had been falling incessantly day and night, and the weather was getting colder and colder. In seasons where people used to wear hoodies, many were now wearing padded jackets.

Shen Corporation.

Xie Ji Chuan sat in a leather chair, his pair of peach blossom eyes looking romantic and amorous.

“Mo Chi, the supplies in the underground warehouse are all ready. It's enough for the brothers. When the time comes, if we need to establish a base, supplies and manpower won't be a problem.”

Shen Mo Chi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the gloomy sky outside.

“Good, Ji Chuan. Everything proceeds according to plan. Take this card; hurry up and use it as you wish.”

Xie Ji Chuan nodded and continued,

“However, Mo Chi, our movements are quite large. Although we've been as careful as possible, we've still attracted the attention of some people.”

“Alright, I understand. I'll ask my mentor out for a chat.”

After Xie Ji Chuan left, Shen Mo Chi made a phone call and then drove out.

This was something he and Lin Wan had agreed upon.

According to Wanwan's dream, besides natural disasters and viruses, the Apocalypse would also see the emergence of many Ability Users, as well as Mutated Zombies, Mutated Animals...

If they wanted to live freely in the Apocalypse and truly do what they wanted, they ultimately needed their own power to have more security.

No one could say for sure what would happen during the Apocalypse, so this could be considered being prepared for any eventuality. If it wasn't needed, then these things would serve as security for those who had always followed him.

But if it really came to that point and it became necessary, they would establish a base at the right time.

The car stopped at the entrance of a tea house with excellent privacy. Shen Mo Chi walked toward the innermost private room.

Just as he finished pouring the tea, a middle-aged man with an extraordinary temperament walked in, followed by a tall young man with sharp eyes.

Shen Mo Chi stood up and said with a smile:

“Mentor, you're here.”

“Mhm, Mo Chi, sit down.”

Shen Mo Chi sat down and handed him the tea with both hands.

Director Zhang looked at him, his eyes full of familiarity and affection.

“How have you been lately? I heard you've been making quite a stir recently. The entire Shen Corporation is almost falling apart, and the business circle is in an uproar. They're all speculating about what happened.”

Shen Mo Chi sat tall and straight, neither humble nor arrogant. Even sitting before someone who had been immersed in officialdom for years, his aura was not inferior in the slightest.

He said with a smile,

“Mentor, just consider that after all these years, I've grown tired of this kind of life. Those tasks you gave me, I've completed them, so I want to end all of this first.”

“In the future, I want to live my own life. Everything I'm doing now is for the sake of that future.”

Director Zhang was stunned, a flash of hidden complex emotions crossing his eyes.

“Fine. To be honest, when I gave you a hand back then, I had my own motives. Instead, over these years, it's you who have been loyal and righteous, doing many things for me and taking down several highly dangerous organizations hidden in the shadows of Capital City. It hasn't been in vain that you've called me mentor for all these years.”

“Don't say that. I will always remember the kindness you showed me, Mentor.”

The two talked for over two hours before going their separate ways.

Back then, Shen Mo Chi was young. After being sent abroad, because he was smart, outstanding, and extremely talented, he was quickly targeted by people with ill intentions. At the age of fifteen, he was captured by a powerful overseas assassin organization for three full years.

During those three years, he suffered inhuman torture and training. Ultimately, in order to survive, he relied on his strong willpower to finally stand out.

Old Master Shen had never given up on looking for him and finally found his trail. However, due to Shen Moxuan and the others' sabotage and obstruction, Old Master Shen, who had long since retired behind the scenes, was unable to rescue him quickly.

In the end, it was Director Zhang who intervened to coordinate after hearing about the matter.

He was an upright person and an authoritative figure within Capital City's public security and procuratorial system.

After rescuing him, he sent specialists to provide psychological counseling and sent him to a top military school for systematic and targeted education.

That year, when Shen Mo Chi was rescued, he possessed the skills of a killer.

During those three years, he had to deal with blood and dead people every single second.

Coupled with the hatred he had always hidden in his heart, he was on the verge of a breakdown into depravity.

At that time, he only wanted to kill everyone in the Shen family!

It was Director Zhang who pulled him back from that edge.

Although he also considered Shen Mo Chi's growth experience and his future utility, there was no doubt that he was one of the benefactors who changed his life.

Otherwise, he might very well be covered in blood now; how would he dare to approach Lin Wan and be with her?

After Shen Mo Chi returned to the Shen family, he quickly took control of the entire corporation and cultivated a group of his own confidants.

According to their agreement, he used his identity as the CEO of Shen Corporation to collect information and cast a net, assisting them in taking down several illegal organizations operating under the guise of listed companies.

The connections behind these people were complex and intricately linked with officialdom, requiring a lot of effort and time.

In the process, the subordinates of Shen Moxuan and the others, who had been walking on the edge of the law, were also mostly cleaned up by his swift and decisive actions...

Now, the Apocalypse was about to arrive, but for him, it was also the beginning of a new kind of life.

Before, it was for the missions; now, everything was according to his heart's desire.

...

“Lin Wan, get the hell out here! Return the things you stole!”

Lin Xu kicked the hard iron gate in a fit of rage! He cursed.

“Lin Wan, don't go too far. Did you steal those things or not! If you did, for the sake of us all having the surname Lin, I, your Big Brother, promise that as long as you return the things to us, we will let bygones be bygones!”

Ran Ran was very satisfied with Lin Xu's reaction. He now hated Lin Wan to the bone; how could he tell they were biological siblings!

But seeing that Lin Ze still held hope for her and spoke so softly, she couldn't help but darken her expression.

Truly a biological sister!

Tears welled up in her eyes.

“Sister, I'm sorry. I know this is all my fault. As long as you return our family's things, I... I'll leave the Lin family. But Dad, Big Brother, and Second Brother are innocent. Please don't make them sad, okay? I'm willing to do whatever you want me to!”

Lin Ze had originally intended to talk to Lin Wan properly, thinking that since they were biological siblings, he should appeal to her emotions and reason with her.

But seeing Ran Ran being so sensible, he was instantly heartbroken.

He went over and took the sobbing girl into his arms.

“Silly Ran Ran, what are you saying? The Lin family can do without Lin Wan, but it can't do without you. You will always be Big Brother's favorite sister.”

Ran Ran was extremely proud. She cast a provocative glance at the surveillance camera high up, a malicious smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

“Big Brother, but Sister... I don't want you all to suffer because of me! Since Sister dislikes me so much, then I'll just leave. I really can't bear to see my brothers and Dad suffer, woo-hoo...”

Lin Zhiyuan's face was grim. Hearing these words made him even more furious. He picked up an iron rod and began banging on the gate.

But the gate remained unscathed, while his arm was jolted with pain.

What on earth was this material! He didn't dare to bang on it anymore.

Thinking of his recent misfortunes and being agitated by Ran Ran's crying, he threw down the iron rod and cursed loudly:

“You rebellious, ungrateful thing, get the hell out here! I must have been blind to have a daughter like you! Look at Ran Ran, she's ten times, a hundred times better than you! I feel disgusted to have a daughter like you. Stealing from home is already an unpardonable sin, and you even want to sell the company's shares! And the house! If you have the guts, come out! See if I don't beat you to death!”

Lin Xu looked at the high walls and the fortress-like gate, gritting his teeth in hatred.

Everyone in the family was now desperately short of money because of her.

There were quite a few loans under their names, and they were already up to their ears in debt!

Ran Ran was so sensible, but ever since Lin Wan returned, she always tried to compete with her in everything and kept bringing up their mother.

She tried to get him and Big Brother on her side to deal with Ran Ran and Aunt Xu.

But that was all between the elders. He only knew that Aunt Xu was very good, and Ran Ran was also very good.

She even went as far as to give herself to someone for the sake of this family!

Thinking of that day when Ran Ran returned with her clothes in disarray and her face covered in tears, Lin Xu wanted to kill that man!

But Ran Ran cried and begged him not to tell Dad and Big Brother about it. To protect her self-esteem, he would naturally keep it a secret for her.

She could even do this much for the family.

But what about Lin Wan? She sold the company, stole things, enjoyed herself, and even turned her villa into an apocalyptic fortress!

“Lin Wan, why didn't you just die in Japan!”

“Dad, Big Brother, she really spent a fortune to keep us out!”

“This villa should be worth quite a bit of money. Selling it would just happen to help us.”

Lin Xu said viciously.

Lin Zhiyuan and Lin Ze thought so too.

During this time, between looking for people and filling holes, they had spent a lot of money. But they only got that one sentence from above: Wait!

The one-month period mentioned before was almost up, and the family was counting the days on their fingers.

Now with only seven or eight days left, there was still no movement! How could anyone not be anxious?

They hadn't been able to attend to it before, but just last night, they finally tracked down Lin Wan's whereabouts through someone.

But after cursing for so long, she just wouldn't open the door or speak.

It was truly infuriating!

Lin Wan watched the people on the monitor who were shouting outside her door like shrews.

Hearing these people, who were supposed to be her blood relatives, repeatedly telling her to die...

Her heart still couldn't help but tighten for a moment.

In her previous life, they had indeed succeeded, watching her die with their own eyes.

That could be considered paying them back with a life, and it had completely severed their blood ties. In this life, they had no relation whatsoever.

She gave a disdainful smile and continued to bury her head in her sumptuous breakfast.

She swallowed a steaming hot soup dumpling in one bite, her mouth filled with fragrance.

She took a spoonful of savory Tofu Pudding—one word: delicious!

After eating and drinking her fill, she slowly wiped her mouth.

She turned on the voice function.

“Lin Ze, Lin Xu, you two simps. If you have the guts, come in and see who dies first.”

“Lin Ran, your dad isn't dead, and your mom isn't dead either. If you want to wail like it's a funeral, go back to your own home!”

“Lin Zhiyuan, you say I stole things; please show the evidence. As for my shares and my house, I'll sell them if I want to. What business is it of yours? From now on, don't go around saying I'm your daughter; I'm the one who's disgusted! I have no further relationship with you three simps from now on!”

The faces of the cursing people instantly twisted. Lin Ran's crying paused, and she could no longer squeeze out any tears.

She actually wasn't sad? She even spoke with a hint of a smile!

Impossible, she must be faking it!

Lin Ze and Lin Xu actually thought about climbing over the wall.

But seeing that dense electrical fencing on top...

You only have one life!

Lin Ran and Lin Zhiyuan's faces were unsightly.

It was precisely because there wasn't a shred of evidence that they couldn't do anything to her!

Although Lin Ran also felt it was absurd—no matter how capable someone was, they couldn't possibly take away so many things without a sound...

But she just had a strong premonition that all of this was inextricably linked to Lin Wan!

Last time, not only did she fail to seduce Shen Mo Chi, but she was also taken by that lecher. To this day, she didn't dare tell anyone because that bastard had even recorded a video!

It was just that when she returned despondently that day, Lin Xu happened to find out, so she simply said she went to that person to help the company out of its predicament! This made him feel guilty and thus treat her even better.

Mainly, that person was in a high position, so she didn't dare make it public at all.

The rain was drizzling. Although they were wearing raincoats, after being out for so long, how could it be as comfortable as drinking tea in a villa?

The group wished they could suddenly have superpowers to drag Lin Wan out and give her a beating to vent their anger!

Lin Wan wouldn't indulge them.

Although there weren't many residents nearby, their shouting would inevitably attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.

If the police noticed, it wouldn't be good. For now, she still needed to keep a low profile.

There were still a few days until the Apocalypse. Killing them now would be effortless.

These pieces of trash really didn't want to live another day.

Lin Wan's eyes were as cold as sharp blades. Just as she was about to go out and open the gate to let them in so she could deal with them...

She saw a Phantom stop at the main gate.

It was Mo Chi.

Outside, Lin Ran's eyes also lit up.

“It's Shen Mo Chi's car!”

She hurriedly tidied her appearance, but wearing a raincoat in the rain without any makeup, she looked wretched no matter how she tried.

Shen Mo Chi had rushed over after seeing them on the surveillance monitor on his phone.

All along the way, hearing their foul language, he wanted nothing more than to slaughter them immediately!
