284: Chapter 284 Death Knell Death Knell

Yezaki Insui had already taken off his pants, his heart pounding with excitement.

"It was such a hard-won, perfect opportunity! And you're telling me to retreat?"

Ouyang quickly grabbed Yezaki's arm. "What else can we do? If Death Knell catches us, won't our plan be exposed?"

Seeing that this island-nation devil still wasn't moving, Ouyang practically wanted to kill him on the spot!

However, he could only persuade him, "There will be other chances in the future! Let's go, quickly!"

Yezaki Insui had no choice but to give up, calling his group of island-nation subordinates to retreat with Ouyang Yunzheng.

Outside the building, the January wind whipped across the faces of Death Knell and Demon Dog.

Demon Dog grinned, "What are you doing here?"

Death Knell made no effort to conceal his killing intent!

"Demon Dog, do you have any idea what you're doing? What have you done to the Madam?"

Demon Dog was still somewhat wary of Death Knell, even though there wasn't much of a gap between their rankings.

But at this level, they both knew very well that the slightest difference between them could instantly determine life or death!

Demon Dog took a step back, a cynical smile still hanging on his face. "Heh, I didn't do anything to the Madam, I just… had a deep exchange with her."

The muscles in Death Knell's legs were like taut bowstrings, and he suddenly exerted force!

Demon Dog was horrified. How could this big guy be so fast? In the blink of an eye, he had already appeared before him.

Demon Dog instinctively raised his arms to defend. But it was as if he'd been hit by a cannonball; his entire body went flying backward.

Death Knell's explosive power was truly terrifying.

However, Demon Dog was, after all, a top-tier expert seasoned in battle, and he was proficient in Samba Jiu-Jitsu. He used the momentum of flying backward to somersault in the air, dissipating much of the impact.

After landing, he shouted at Death Knell, "What are you doing? Have you really fallen for that Madam Shangguan?"

Death Knell didn't waste any more breath on him and rushed straight into the building.

When he saw the wretched state of Shangguan Lingwei, his heart gave a sudden jolt. This Demon Dog really deserved to die!

Death Knell quickly took off his jacket and draped it over Shangguan Lingwei.

Then, he gently lifted her up. He felt deep regret in his heart. If he hadn't hesitated just now, perhaps this wouldn't have happened!

However, Shangguan Lingwei's originally icy body seemed to sense warmth.

Her blindfold was finally removed, and she saw Death Knell's rugged face.

She felt as if she had just endured an endless storm, and now, she could finally dock in a solid and warm harbor.

"Mr. Death Knell, did you save me?"

Death Knell didn't know how to answer. He could only move his Adam's apple slightly. "Madam, I'm taking you away!"

After saying that, he picked up Shangguan Lingwei and placed her in the car.

He then turned the car's heater to the max and drove toward the Shenhai Center.

Meanwhile, Ouyang Yunzheng and Yezaki Insui were also sitting in a car on their way back, holding a tablet.

This was the video and photos captured by the surveillance in the room earlier.

As the two watched, they both cursed in their hearts, "Damn it! That bastard Demon Dog!"

What has the Madam gone through!

Ouyang clenched his fists tightly, and he resolved, "Demon Dog, you bastard, I want you dead!"

In a little while, you can properly receive the wrath of Lu Jinhong, the Emperor of Shanghai!

In a suite inside the Shanghai Center, Shangguan Lingwei was placed on the bed.

But the exhausted woman still insisted on getting up.

She couldn't accept falling asleep covered in filth.

However, she didn't have enough strength to support herself to the bathroom.

She whispered to Death Knell, "Can you help me?"

Death Knell felt conflicted, but in the end, he nodded.

This was probably the most tender moment of Death Knell's life. He watched as Shangguan Lingwei lay in the steaming bathtub, his eyes devoid of any impure thoughts.

He didn't know what he really felt for this beautiful Madam.

A killer from the West, a noble lady from the East.

Two people who should never have crossed paths were now seeing each other completely exposed in this manner.

After being wiped clean by Death Knell, Shangguan Lingwei finally fell asleep.

And at the very moment her eyelids were about to close, she still grasped Death Knell's large hand.

"Don't go, okay? I'm scared."

Death Knell nodded once more.

But on the other side, Lu Jinhong was already like an ant on a hot pan!

"Madam, why hasn't the Madam returned yet! Where has she been all day?"

Inside Shangguan Lingwei's private villa, a group of guards were being cursed out by Lu Jinhong.

Roar after roar!

"You bunch of trash! You couldn't even watch over your own mistress! Why aren't you out looking for her yet? Search the whole city!"

Just then, Lu Jinhong's phone suddenly rang.

When he saw who was calling, he wondered why this brat was calling.

"Godfather!"

"How many times have I told you, don't call me Godfather!"

Ouyang adjusted his address, "Boss Lu, the Madam has been found. She's at the Shenhai Center. There are two killers who kidnapped her!"

"And, the Madam, the Madam…" Ouyang's acting was excellent; on the phone, he was weeping and unable to speak clearly!

Lu Jinhong roared, "F*ck! Just tell me! What happened to the Madam?"

"The Madam was… defiled by them!"

"These are the images captured by police surveillance. Take a look."

Before long, Lu Jinhong saw the most despairing scene of his life! That curly-haired Samba man, how could he do that to his wife!?

You deserve to die! I'm going to kill you!

Lu Jinhong, nearing 60, suddenly felt his head spin, blood rushing to his brain, and his eyes went black as he collapsed.

"Master! Master! Hurry, call an ambulance! Call a doctor!"

By late afternoon, near dusk, sirens blared downstairs at the Shenhai Center!

Armed Police and SWAT teams surrounded the place, making it impenetrable.

All the guests in the entire building were cleared out.

To the outside world, they claimed it was an anti-terrorism drill. But here, there really were terrorists.

Shangguan Lingwei was still fast asleep in the room.

And in the living room outside, Death Knell stared intently at Demon Dog.

Demon Dog's expression was no longer relaxed and playful; it had finally become somewhat grave!

Death Knell said coldly, "Do you know what you've done now?"

Demon Dog didn't speak.

Death Knell continued, "You damned guy! You touched the one person you shouldn't have touched! Do you really think that Chinese person and that island-nation person are good people?"

"Demon Dog, I really want to kill you right now!"

Demon Dog looked aggrieved and retorted, "What are you panicking about? We have the woman! Using her as a hostage, let's see if they dare to take real action!"

"It's just some police, what's there to be afraid of!"

"Besides, we still have the red bomb in our hands. If it comes to it, we'll just detonate it early! What does it matter?"

The veins on Death Knell's forehead couldn't stop throbbing: You f*cking think your brain is still working well, don't you?

When we go back this time, I will definitely settle this with Lucifer and deal with you, you old dog!

At this moment, a slight movement came from the room, and Death Knell immediately ran inside.

Shangguan Lingwei woke up, and upon seeing Death Knell, she threw herself into his arms, weeping uncontrollably.

Demon Dog also walked in and saw how attached Shangguan Lingwei was to Death Knell.

He had clearly felt great in the morning, but at this moment, he suddenly felt very annoyed!

Death Knell roared, "Why did you come in? Get out!"

Demon Dog sneered, "Me? Get out? This woman is our biggest bargaining chip!"

"You keep claiming to have a killer's principles! But now, who exactly is trampling on the killer's bottom line? Death Knell, have you really fallen for this woman?"

Seeing Demon Dog, Shangguan Lingwei felt as if she were in an ice cellar. Today, it was this guy who had brought her hellish torment.

Shangguan Lingwei subconsciously broke free from Death Knell's embrace, retreated to the corner of the bed, and gripped the edge of the quilt with her fingertips.

Death Knell looked at Shangguan Lingwei and didn't explain anything.

He expressed his stance through action alone.

Death Knell's broad frame firmly blocked the space between Shangguan Lingwei and Demon Dog.

His subtext was that as long as he was here, no one could get an inch closer to the Madam!

Shangguan Lingwei understood. She looked at Death Knell's back, feeling a sense of security.

Death Knell's deep voice seemed to resonate within Demon Dog's mind.

"Get… the… hell… out!"

Demon Dog swallowed hard, not daring to say anything else, and retreated from the room.

Death Knell turned around and bowed to Shangguan Lingwei.

"Madam, I'm sorry."

Shangguan, having regained some strength, shouted, "Sorry? What's the use of saying that?"

"Do you know what I went through today? Do you know what everything your companion did to me means to a woman? That was an humiliation colder than death!"
