The Jeep that Lin Fei was riding in returned from the suburbs to the city.
That's right, Song Haifeng told Lin Fei that the four elderly men were locked up in the city.
Not, as Lin Fei had initially thought, held in the remote mountains outside the city.
Song Haifeng informed Lin Fei that the four elderly men were locked in a warehouse in the city.
Yet Lin Fei knew the police had deployed a large number of officers in the suburbs to search for the whereabouts of the four elderly men.
The police would never have guessed that the four elderly men were not in the suburbs but in the city.
The reason why Hidden Kill did this is precisely that saying: the most dangerous places are the safest places.
This is a warehouse in the city. The Jeep stopped outside the main gate, and Lin Fei, holding Song Haifeng, leaped over the iron gate directly into the yard.
There was no one in the yard, it was completely silent.
Lin Fei immediately felt perplexed; since this was where the four elderly men were kept, there should be skilled guards from Hidden Kill, right?
How could there be no one at all? This was way too strange.
Similarly, the look of puzzlement appeared on Song Haifeng's face.
The warehouse door was tightly closed, with a big lock hanging on it.
Lin Fei stepped forward, held the big lock on the door, gently squeezed, and the iron lock seemed to be squashed down like dough, falling to the ground.
Lin Fei pushed with both hands, and the heavy door opened.
Lin Fei and Song Haifeng went inside.
The first thing that caught Lin Fei's eyes was an elder suspended by chains in the empty warehouse.
The elder's head was drooping, a dagger stuck in his chest, blood dripping to the ground, shocking to see.
Lin Fei's heart sank, and he quickly walked over. Seeing the face of the dead elder, he recognized him as the Xie family's elder, Xie Gong!
Looking at the dagger stabbed into Xie Gong's chest, the blood dripping, still bright red and not yet solidified, Lin Fei could tell that Xie Gong had been killed not long ago.
Moreover, the killer must have just left not long ago.
Lin Fei felt a surge of boiling blood in his heart.
He couldn't express his anger.
At this moment, Lin Fei noticed a piece of folded white paper thrust in Xie Gong's pockets.
Lin Fei took out the white paper from Xie's pocket and unfolded it, seeing just a few lines of writing: "Lin Fei, this is the consequence of you refusing to tell Lin Zheng's whereabouts. Xie Gong is the first to be killed.
If you don't want more people to die, just tell us where Lin Zheng is."
The words were followed by the red characters "Hidden Kill."
Lin Fei crumpled the white paper into a ball, his gaze flashing coldly.
"Vice Hall Master Song, tell me, how many of your Hidden Kill are here this time? Are there any other secret bases in Huadu?" Lin Fei looked at Song Haifeng and asked in a cold voice.
Song Haifeng could feel the terrifying anger and murderous intent emanating from Lin Fei, his face looking panicked, saying, "Young Master Lin, although I am the vice hall master of Hidden Kill, I only know how many people Hall Master Li brought, whether there are other halls and branches in Huadu, only Hidden Kill's sect leader in South China knows."
"Do you know where Hidden Kill's sect leader in South China is?" Lin Fei asked.
Song Haifeng's face went pale, saying, "Young Master Lin, only the Huannan Squad Leader knows where Hidden Kill's sect leader in South China is."
Lin Fei didn't ask anymore, as Song Haifeng's low status within the Hidden Kill organization meant he knew very little, unable to provide any valuable information.
Lin Fei promptly took out his phone and dialed Chen Xinyi's number.
"Lin Fei, how are you? Are you hurt?" As soon as the call connected, Chen Xinyi's concerned inquiries came through.
Lin Fei replied into the phone, "I'm okay. Bring some people over."
Then, Lin Fei provided Chen Xinyi with the address of the warehouse.
"Lin Fei, how are the four elderly men?" Chen Xinyi followed up, "Also, during our search in the suburbs, we discovered the corpse of Huadu's Medicine King Dong Qingshan in a villa, along with a body that is likely from the Hidden Kill organization as my grandfather mentioned."
Lin Fei was momentarily stunned—could the dead member of Hidden Kill be Hall Master Li?
Lin Fei asked Chen Xinyi about the features of the deceased Hidden Kill member, and what Chen Xinyi described matched Hall Master Li's appearance.
If Dong Qingshan was stabbed in the thigh, hitting a major artery, it was no surprise he died.
But Hall Master Li was merely rendered powerless by having his fingers broken and his martial arts abolished; when Lin Fei left, he only sealed his acupuncture points. Dying like this seemed too suspicious.
Could someone have killed Hall Master Li and Dong Qingshan?
Could the one who killed Hall Master Li and Dong Qingshan be the same person who killed Elder Xie?
Then, Lin Fei proceeded to tell Chen Xinyi about Elder Xie's murder: "Chen Xinyi, Elder Xie's been killed. You should notify the Xie family. Also, the other three elders are still missing."
"What, Elder Xie has been killed? The other three elders are missing?" Chen Xinyi exclaimed in surprise over the phone.
"I'll call the Xie family right away."
After exchanging a few words with Chen Xinyi, Lin Fei hung up and proceeded to lower Elder Xie's suspended body.
Staring at Elder Xie's corpse lying on the ground, Lin Fei swore to himself: Elder Xie, you died for my grandfather, and I will certainly avenge you.
At that moment, Song Haifeng, with an apprehensive expression, addressed Lin Fei, "Young Master Lin, I've done everything you asked. Can you release me now?"
"Sure!" Lin Fei unexpectedly agreed without hesitation.
With delight on his face, Song Haifeng quickly said, "Thank you, Young Master Lin, for releasing me. I will be forever grateful for your great kindness."
"Wait, don't be so quick to thank me. Did you forget that I sealed one of your acupuncture points?" Lin Fei suddenly interrupted Song Haifeng's words.
"I sealed your death point, which temporarily won't cause any harm, but it contains dark energy that will erupt in five days, causing you to bleed from your seven orifices and be beyond saving."
Song Haifeng's complexion suddenly turned ashen, looking extremely grim.
"Young Master Lin, please spare my life!" Song Haifeng immediately knelt on the ground, pleading with Lin Fei.
Lin Fei said, "I can spare your life, but you must do something for me."
"Please tell me, Young Master Lin. As long as I can manage it, I'll do it without hesitation," Song Haifeng hurriedly responded.
"Find out where the other three elders are for me, and who the major figures of Hidden Kill in Huadu are," Lin Fei said, looking at Song Haifeng.
"Yes, yes, yes, I will certainly find it out for Young Master Lin," Song Haifeng repeatedly nodded.
Lin Fei then told Song Haifeng his cell phone number, saying, "Once you have any information, call me immediately. Remember, you must find out where the three elders are within five days, otherwise, you will die bleeding from your seven orifices."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Song Haifeng agreed and then hurriedly left the warehouse.
The reason Lin Fei let Song Haifeng go was to use his hand to find out where the three elders were and who Hidden Kill's figures in Huadu were.
Even though Song Haifeng's status was low, with the threat of a five-day life-or-death deadline, he would definitely try every means to find what Lin Fei wanted him to find.
A dozen minutes later, the sound of police sirens echoed outside: "Woo-woo-woo..."
