Chapter 803: Chapter 803
Lin Chen walked into the warehouse and a faint smile appeared on his lips when he saw the contents inside.
He took out his phone and photographed everything within before the sound of noisy footsteps approached from outside.
With a light smile, Lin Chen left the warehouse, and with a wave of his hand, a ball of light smashed into the building.
The entire warehouse was instantly engulfed in flames.
As the Huwei (Tiger Guards) charged forward, a cold light flashed in Lin Chen's eyes, and he walked step by step towards the Huwei armed with machetes without a care.
Having advanced to the Yunhai realm, Lin Chen's movement technique and strength had greatly improved.
Facing the Huwei who pounced towards him like tigers descending the mountain, Lin Chen was unfazed, charging at them like a fierce deity.
Screams echoed through the corridor immediately, as Lin Chen, like a bloodthirsty machine, continuously reaped the enemies that stood in his path.
Soon, the corridor was littered with Huwei knocked down by Lin Chen.
In the end, the remaining people dared not approach Lin Chen at all.
Lin Chen walked step by step towards the exit, and with a cold snort said to the leader of the Huwei, "Tell your master this is just the beginning."
As Lin Chen drove away in a Lamborghini, nobody dared to stop him.
Lin Chen was too strong, to the point where they were utterly unable to resist him.
At the Zhang family, Zhang Shoushan's face was cold, his eyes radiating intense murderous intent.
That warehouse was the foundation of the Zhang family; its contents were the cornerstone of the Zhang family's control over various forces in Zhonghai City.
Yet, such a critical asset was burned down by Lin Chen, an undoubtedly heavy blow to the Zhang family and Zhang Shoushan.
"Father, Lin Chen is too powerful, we are no match for him, what should we do?" Zhang Hai said with an ugly expression.
Zhang Shoushan's eyes were fierce, "If our people are no match for him, then we will hire an assassin—hire the top assassin, no matter the cost, I want Lin Chen dead!"
"Yes!" Zhang Hai nodded in response.
After a checkup, it turned out Zhou Wu's father had truly made a miraculous recovery.
This left all the doctors astounded, for an ailment like the one Zhou Wu's father had, the most effective treatment in the world would be placing a stent, full recovery was deemed impossible.
Yet, Lin Chen had created a miracle, magically healing Zhou Wu's father.
After leaving the hospital, Zhou Wu had been accompanying his old father.
The old man's name was Zhou Shan; he wasn't Zhou Wu's biological father. Zhou Wu was an orphan who lived on the streets from a young age, surviving by scavenging through rubbish and begging for food.
It was on a blizzardy night that Zhou Shan found little Wu trembling with cold on the street. Little Wu was burning with a high fever and was on the brink of death.
Zhou Shan took Wu to the hospital, paid for his IV drip, and saved his life, giving him the name Zhou Wu.
Zhou Wu was a very sensible child, kind-hearted and loyal.
Zhou Shan, Zhou Wu, and the younger sister Zhou Wei depended on each other for survival. Though their lives were not wealthy, they were not bad either.
However, a rich second-generation heir took a liking to the younger sister Zhou Wei, and one dark night, he dragged her into an alley, intending to force himself on her.
Zhou Wu arrived in time and, in a fit of anger, hit the rich heir with a brick, killing him.
Realizing the grave trouble he was in, Zhou Wu was forced to flee Zhonghai City and later, by a stroke of fate, became an assassin.
Although Zhou Wu made quite a bit of money, Zhou Shan refused to take a penny and even disowned him as his son because Zhou Wu was an assassin.
It was only when Zhou Shan had a heart attack that father and son met again.
"Brother, have you really quit for good?" Zhou Wei asked her brother while they were cooking together.
Zhou Wu nodded: "Yeah, I'll spend more time with you and dad from now on."
"Ha, how is just staying with us enough? Dad even said you should find a daughter-in-law for him," Zhou Wei laughed.
Just then, there was a knock at the door. Zhou Wu opened it and frowned upon seeing the person.
Zhou Wu turned and smiled: "Little Wei, I'll be right back, just going out for a moment."
With that, Zhou Wu followed the visitor into the alleyway.
"Mountain Cat, I've told you I've retired. I no longer work as an assassin," Zhou Wu said with a frown.
Mountain Cat smiled: "Bro Wu, of course I know, but this deal is too good to pass up. It'd be a shame not to take it."
As he spoke, Mountain Cat handed a dossier to Zhou Wu.
Zhou Wu didn't even look at it and threw the dossier on the ground: "I've said that I've retired. Don't come looking for me anymore."
As he turned to leave, a gust of wind blew, lifting the dossier.
When he saw the photo inside the dossier, Zhou Wu suddenly stopped in his tracks, bent down, and picked it up.
"This is our target for the hit?" Zhou Wu asked.
Mountain Cat nodded: "The client is really generous this time, offering a hundred million. Bro, after this job, we won't have to do anything else. We can just enjoy life for generations."
Zhou Wu, flipping through the dossier, nodded: "Fine, I'll take this mission."
"That's my good brother." Mountain Cat slapped Zhou Wu's shoulder excitedly.
Mountain Cat said: "But we need to act fast. We're not the only ones who took this assassin job. Several other top players have accepted this task too. We can't let them beat us to it."
Zhou Wu nodded: "Alright, I got it. Meet at the He Ping Hotel in an hour."
Mountain Cat nodded and left excitedly.
As Zhou Wu was about to turn around, he saw his sister, Zhou Wei.
"Big brother, you lied, you said you wouldn't be an assassin anymore." Zhou Wei's eyes filled with tears as she turned to run away.
Zhou Wu caught Zhou Wei in one grab: "Little sister, I will keep the promise I made to you. But this job, I have to take it, because it's our benefactor I'm going to protect, not to kill."
"What are you talking about?" Zhou Wei paused.
Zhou Wu handed the assassination dossier to Zhou Wei: "This time, the target they want to hit is our benefactor, Lin Chen. Don't know which bigshot offered a hundred million this time, but many of the top assassins have taken the job. If I don't help him, our benefactor's life is really in danger."
"You could tell him instead of having to do it yourself!" Zhou Wei said, tears in her eyes.
Zhou Wu shook his head: "Little Wei, brother is a man who repays kindness. Mr. Lin has been kind to us, he's the one who saved our father's life. No matter the danger, I have to protect him this time."
Zhou Wei nodded, tears lingering in her eyes: "But brother, I love you, I don't want you to be in danger."
Hearing Zhou Wei's words, Zhou Wu's heart sank. Although they were siblings, they had no blood relation, and he also had deep feelings for Zhou Wei.
Zhou Wu smiled and pinched Zhou Wei's cheek: "Silly girl, I'll be back. Once this is over, I'll take you and dad abroad, we'll take dad to travel the world."
Hearing Zhou Wu's words, joy appeared on Zhou Wei's face: "Brother, I'll wait for your return!"
