286: Chapter 286 The Battle of Shanghai Begins
After sending the message, Saionji Sawa revealed a sharp smile, looking extremely charming.
Young Master Murong Yuan had been observing the woman in the backseat through the rearview mirror.
After spending a day together, he genuinely felt that this woman was very capable and knowledgeable.
Moreover, she was dignified, polite, and generous.
She was truly charming.
But just now, the voice on the phone was clearly a man's.
Young Master Murong Yuan chuckled and asked casually, "Miss Sawa, who were you on the phone with just now? Something about kidnapping? Is it that serious?"
Saionji Sawa smiled, not avoiding the question at all.
Because the Murong Family had treated her very well, and she trusted the people here.
"Thank you for your concern, Young Master Murong Yuan, but I was just discussing the situation in Shanghai with a friend. After all, I escaped here to your estate to seek refuge."
Young Master Murong Yuan had also heard some things from his father about the recent situation in Shanghai; in short, it was not peaceful.
"If you have any difficulties, Miss Sawa, please tell me. If I can help, I will do my utmost."
"Thank you so much, Young Master Murong Yuan. It's alright, let me try to resolve it myself first."
"Very well. It is clear that you are a highly capable woman, Miss Sawa. It is admirable."
Saionji Sawa had long sensed that Murong Changfeng's arrangements surely had other implications.
If one were to use a popular Chinese phrase, having Young Master Murong Yuan accompany her today was most likely a "blind date setup."
She lowered her eyes and smiled helplessly; it seemed she shouldn't stay at the Murong Family for too long.
However, this smile caused Young Master Murong Yuan to misunderstand.
He thought she had accepted his intentions.
Meanwhile, in Shanghai, Yezaki Insui received the message sent by Saionji Sawa.
This young lady was actually ordering him to kill Shangguan Lingwei?
What did she mean by this? Was she still unwilling to return? Still hiding at that so-called Murong Family?
He asked Ouyang Yunzheng, "Is my young lady still suspicious of me?"
Ouyang Yunzheng thought to himself: She's not still suspicious of you; your young lady has never trusted you to begin with, okay?
However, Ouyang had to admit that Saionji Sawa was indeed very calculating.
This successor of the Saionji Family was truly not simple.
If Shangguan Lingwei had even half of her intelligence, Shanghai wouldn't have fallen into such a chaotic state.
Ouyang Yunzheng replied, "Forget about your young lady. You should report to the family properly. Even if they really suspect you, they have no evidence to do anything to you."
"Besides, Shangguan Lingwei is not in our hands right now."
Yezaki Insui nodded; this guy made sense.
"Then what shall we do tonight? Just watch the fire from across the river?"
Ouyang Yunzheng raised an eyebrow, his eyes rolling around twice.
"Here's the plan: I'm going to find my godfather now. He has woken up. Next, he will launch a fierce attack on the Shenhai Center!"
"I estimate those two killers won't be easy to deal with. You should also take some people and mix into the perimeter. When necessary, take a shot at him from the shadows. Let that old geezer Lu Jinhong go straight to the afterlife!"
"When the time comes, with this immense credit, let's see what your young lady can say!"
"Perhaps, when the Saionji Family sees your performance this time, they might even betroth the young lady to you."
Yezaki Insui felt a surge of warmth from Ouyang Yunzheng's manipulation: "That's right, Brother Ouyang, what you said is absolutely correct!"
"I'll go arrange it right now!"
"Good, Inshui-kun, let's continue to act separately! The primary goal is to first take out those two formidable killers!"
Ouyang Yunzheng arrived at the Lu residence.
Lu Jinhong had actually gotten out of bed long ago and changed into a black overcoat. He appeared dignified and imposing!
He was waiting for nightfall.
Even if the Shanghai government tacitly allowed his revenge, he had to follow the rules. Acting in broad daylight was not a good choice.
Lu Jinhong had mobilized all the resources he could, with hundreds of high-level thugs from both the underworld and legitimate circles, and dozens of top-tier experts.
Of course, there were also the two he relied on most: "Hidden" and "Mist."
"Hidden" moved like a ghost, while "Mist" was even more elusive. The two stood on Lu Jinhong's left and right sides.
Today, Lu Jinhong swore to avenge his wife!
However, avenging his wife? That was just his public declaration.
Ouyang Yunzheng had long since added fuel to the fire.
Some photos of Shangguan Lingwei and Deathknell in a coffee shop had been sent to Lu Jinhong.
Especially one photo where Shangguan Lingwei looked pleading, holding Deathknell's hand.
Lu Jinhong stared at the photo, cold rage burning in his eyes!
He smashed his phone!
Even the photo frame in the bedroom, where Shangguan Lingwei was smiling while leaning on his shoulder, was smashed to pieces.
That was Lu Jinhong's favorite photo. His wife's look of a devoted woman had always captivated him.
But today he realized that it was all fake! His wife actually liked a foreign dog!
Ouyang felt the fire wasn't burning hot enough.
"Boss Lu, Godfather! Actually, I wanted to tell you about Stepmother a long time ago. But I didn't have the courage; I was afraid she would kill me!"
"So I kept it from you until now, leading to this irreparable situation!"
Lu Jinhong was already worked up and had no ability to analyze the situation.
He roared: "Charge! Go and chop those two foreign devils inside the Shenhai Center into mincemeat!"
"And bring my wife to see me!"
Outside the Shenhai Center, a group of police officers tacitly cleared a path.
The police high command was actually happy to do so.
Rather than facing two vicious criminals themselves, it was better to let these underground forces serve as cannon fodder.
When the time came, they would emerge with justice to round them all up. In this way, Shanghai would completely finish its crackdown on organized crime.
Unexpectedly, in this Shanghai, no matter which side it was, everyone was calculating their own moves meticulously.
Demon Dog watched Deathknell and Shangguan Lingwei walk out of the room.
Shangguan Lingwei looked like a little woman, hiding behind Deathknell's broad frame. And in her eyes was full-faced adoration for the man in front of her.
Demon Dog thought, these two were in the room for so long, they didn't do "it," did they?
His heart was extremely unbalanced! He had indeed possessed this beautiful lady and had vented his frustrations many times.
But why was he so unhappy?
Demon Dog felt as if he had stolen a beloved toy of Deathknell's.
But no matter how he played with it, it ultimately belonged to Deathknell.
He couldn't take it away at all.
However, a bunch of people had already rushed in, and they couldn't afford to keep fighting over the woman here.
Demon Dog asked: "What exactly should we do?"
Deathknell sneered: "Isn't this all caused by you? You're asking me what to do now?"
"Deathknell! You!"
"What's the point of saying these things now?"
"Heh, no point at all!"
Demon Dog pointed at Shangguan Lingwei behind Deathknell.
"Her! As long as we kidnap her! Use her to threaten the people downstairs! We can get out!"
Hearing this, Shangguan Lingwei shrank further behind Deathknell.
Deathknell put one arm around Shangguan Lingwei's shoulder, giving her a great sense of security.
Then he roared at his teammate: "You're dreaming!"
"You were the one who hurt her and caused all these things. And now you want to use her again! You're not worthy!"
Demon Dog was finally ignited and retorted to Deathknell: "Deathknell, what the hell are you pretending for? You and I are just killers! What right do you have to act noble there?"
"Deathknell, why don't you just hand over the bomb today and throw it down from here. The whole of Shanghai will be turned to ashes!"
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Lingwei asked: "Deathknell, what does he mean? What bomb? What ashes?"
Deathknell felt that his teammate was incredibly stupid.
Could the red bomb be mentioned before receiving instructions?
And even if you detonate the bomb, do you know how to escape?
However, Deathknell still comforted Shangguan Lingwei: "Madam, that is not the point right now."
"Don't worry, I will send you back first. Then, please leave Shanghai as soon as possible."
Shangguan Lingwei shook her head: "No, can I still go back? It's already impossible. The reason these police surrounded this place is to create an opportunity for Lu Jinhong."
"I'm afraid that by now, he has been bewitched by that kid, Ouyang Yunzheng. It's over between him and me!"
"Mr. Deathknell, just listen to that Demon Dog. Kidnap me! Here, no one dares to take the risk of killing the eldest daughter of the Shangguan Family."
"Besides, I am familiar with this building. I will lead you to bypass these people."
Demon Dog urged Deathknell: "What are you still hesitating for? Do you have any better ideas?"
Deathknell glared at him, then took Shangguan Lingwei's wrist: "Then I will have to trouble you to lead the way, Madam! As for kidnapping you, I can't do it!"
