In a residential area about five kilometers from the abandoned factory, in a low, old building.
The walls had large patches of paint peeling off, the doors and cabinets were faded, the sliding doors made a screeching noise when opened, the lights were constantly flickering, and cockroaches kept crawling out from under the old sofa and past people's feet.
Inside the extremely old and cluttered room sat several well-dressed men.
They were either dressed in suits or long coats.
From hairstyles to accessories, from clothes to shoes and socks, everything is exquisite and meticulous.
Especially their air of arrogance and nobility, which clearly indicates that they are young masters from wealthy and powerful families.
All of this was out of place with the surrounding environment.
It was obvious that all of them showed expressions of disgust and annoyance.
They were already worried and anxious, and then they were stuck in this run-down place in the middle of the night. After almost an hour, someone finally couldn't take it anymore.
One of the slightly overweight men stomped on a cockroach and said irritably, "What kind of lousy place is this? Chu Jinhe, couldn't you find a better place?!"
Chu Jinhe was still looking at his phone waiting for a message when he heard this, and he was annoyed. He said, "Don't you even look at what kind of place this is? Besides those two abandoned factories, this is the only place with residential buildings. If we don't go here, where else can we go but another abandoned factory?"
He was annoyed too, and said irritably, "Wait if you want, otherwise get lost!"
"you!"
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Qi Zhenghui, who was standing to the side, had a headache and quickly stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Alright, we've already waited for an hour, a little longer won't make a difference. Judging by the time, it should be almost over. Be patient with each other."
"Although it's a bit tough right now, once the matter is settled, the Fu family and the Xing family will suffer a huge blow. In the end, won't it be our families who will be the ones to divide up the profits?"
Qi Zhenghui said, as if remembering something, he glanced at everyone deeply and said meaningfully, "I almost forgot, there is also the newly established Qin family. The Qin family head and the eldest daughter are over there."
The previously noisy sounds instantly quieted down, and a glint of light flashed in everyone's eyes.
The Fu and Xing families need no introduction; they are both long-established and powerful families in Tiandu.
Although Fu Jingheng and Xing Ji'an are both just descendants of the Fu and Xing families, the former is currently the most popular heir of the Fu family, while the latter is the only son of the Xing family.
If these two people were gone, one can imagine how much turmoil the Fu and Xing families would suffer. If they were to take advantage of the situation, the potential profits would be immense.
Now let's talk about the Qin family.
The Qin family has only been in Tiandu for less than a year, but with the help of the Fu family, the Qin family head, Qin Zheng, is also quite capable. In just one year, he has already risen to the second tier.
In particular, the intelligent project launched by Qin's family before the Chinese New Year first stirred up a huge wave in the entire IT industry with the names of Bear and Xue Bozhong. When the product was officially launched some time ago, it caused an AI craze!
Almost all the wealthy men and women in Tiandu are proud to own a Qin family AI robot!
I believe it will enter the international market in the near future!
Perhaps it's not obvious now, but in terms of potential, the Qin family is even superior to the Xing family!
The potential profits were so great that not only they, but even the four major families were tempted.
It was only because of Qin Sheng and Fu Jingheng's relationship that those families dared not act rashly.
Seeing that these people had finally quieted down, Qi Zhenghui secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately retreated to the side to send messages.
The waiting time always felt long. Everyone stared at the only old alarm clock in the room, listening to its ticking sound and watching the minute hand move from the two to the eight.
Another half hour passed.
My calmed mood began to stir uncontrollably again, and this time, in addition to irritability, there was also a vague sense of unease.
That doesn't make sense.
There were five people present. As agreed, each family sent twenty guards, with Chu Jinhe even requesting thirty, making a total of one hundred and ten people.
They've only dealt with four people and some remnants of the Tianhong Sect's sons. Is it really necessary to have no results after more than an hour?
Not only did it yield no results, but not a single message came back...
The five men looked at each other in bewilderment. Another man with a long face couldn't help but say, "Why haven't they come back yet? Could... could something have happened to them?"
"Impossible!" Chu Jinhe and the slightly chubby man from before said in unison, their tone quite resolute.
Whether they genuinely thought it was impossible or were just trying to comfort themselves, after saying that, the two paused for a moment, then shook their heads again, saying, "Absolutely impossible!"
Those were a full 110 secret guards!
They caught them off guard again; how could they possibly fail to take down just a few people?!
That's what I said, and that's what I thought, but the unease in my heart spread like wild grass, and even my body inexplicably grew cold.
etc……
cold?
It's February, and the weather is indeed quite cold, but they are indoors right now.
Almost all the houses in Tiandu are equipped with heating. Although this house is a bit dilapidated and old, the heating works quite well.
Didn't you see that everyone took off their coats because they were so hot after entering the house?
How could it be cold under such circumstances?
Amidst the confusion, everyone's gaze unconsciously swept across the room, until it suddenly stopped when it passed over a certain spot.
Chu Jinhe exclaimed in shock, "Fu Jingheng! What are you doing here?!"
In the shadow of a cabinet, a remarkably tall figure stood silently.
Hidden in the darkness, his expression was obscured, but the group finally located the source of the chill—the direction where Fu Jingheng was.
He emerged from the shadows, tall and slender, with a cold and aloof expression. Every step he took brought forth frost.
Like a child of ice and snow descending to earth, he can freeze all living beings with a wave of his hand.
Everyone felt a chill that penetrated to their very bones, so cold that they found it difficult to even breathe.
The chill that made them wish they were dead only dissipated when he walked up to them and chuckled softly.
The speed was so fast that they almost thought everything they had just experienced was an illusion.
But if only one person feels this way, then perhaps it really is just a misperception, but now...
Everyone glanced at the faces of the other people present, and their hearts sank completely.
It's not an illusion.
Something seemed to flash through Chu Jinhe's mind, and a sudden thought struck him. He looked at Fu Jingheng and exclaimed, "You're not Fu Jingheng...you...who are you?!"
Fu Jingheng's features were indifferent, but a smile played on his lips as he asked, "Can't you guess?"
At this moment, a light golden halo appeared in the man's dark eyes.
Chu Jinhe watched, his heart sinking to the bottom.
