“Or else you’ll crush and destroy me?”


  Black Panther shook his head and said scornfully, “What era is this? It’s time to change the tiresome script isn’t it!”


  Part of the man’s body could be seen in the video. His left sleeve was noticeably empty.

  “You see this? You personally ordered this arm to be broken! I still remember it!” Black Panther smiled grimly and spoke again, clearly enunciating each word. “But to tell you the truth, my days are numbered! You can do whatever you want to me. Even if you send thousands of top assassins to besiege me now, I’ll just lose my life, that’s all. But fortunately there’s a sacrificial lamb here.”


  There was a pause, then Panther tutted again. “Now why did I say one? I’ve got three sacrificial lambs, your woman, and the two little bastards in her belly!”


  Gu Jinglian clenched his fists. “What do you want?”


  “Let me be clear with you. I don’t have much time left. Before I die, we have to settle our scores, right?!” Black Panther said faintly, “Gu Jinglian, let’s play a game? How about that? Hahaha!”


  His wolf-like laughter made him sound like a malicious ghost in the dark and empty room.

  “So it was you who stole Meng Qingxue’s account and lured her over?”


  “Does it matter?” Black Panther said, “What’s important is the score between us. If you want to keep your woman and the children, I’ll give you a chance. Pailou Lane on Wuyi Road, underground warehouse 9-2. Come alone. Remember, just you. If I see even one more person, I’ll make sure there’s one less person in her belly. Don’t think I’m afraid of dying. Anyway, I don’t have long to live! If you break the rules of the game, heh heh, I won’t give you a chance to choose again!”


  With that, the Facetime session came to an end.

  Almost without hesitation, Gu Jinglian went to the driver’s door and opened it.

  “Get out!”


  The driver, who had heard all of the conversation, hesitated. “Master Gu, you can’t go alone! The odds are against you!”


  “Get out!”


  “Master Gu……”


  Gu Jinglian suddenly drew out the pistol from his waist and aimed it at the man’s temple. “I’m warning you, my patience is limited. Now, get out of the car immediately!”


  The driver opened his mouth and cold sweat slid down his face. He immediately stepped out of the car. Gu Jinglian pushed him away and got in. He closed the door and, before anyone could stop him, sped towards the address Black Panther had given him.

  On the way, Black Panther made another video to confirm that Gu Jinglian was indeed alone. He was relieved.

  “Gu Jinglian, I’ll wait for you. Thirty minutes. That’s all you have!” Black Panther hung up.

  Gu Jinglian was so angry that he threw his phone on the seat. He floored the accelerator and drove on the national highway leading to the destination.

  Twenty minutes later, he arrived at his destination. He realized that he was at the foot of a barren mountain.

  There was no sign of anyone living around here. There was only an abandoned warehouse in front of him. It looked sinister. Now that it was dusk, the building looked even more terrifying!

  Gu Jinglian made a call. Black Panther picked it up and asked, “Are you here?”


  “I’m at the door! Why, is there no one to greet me?”


  “Ha. Approach the entrance. The door will open! You’re carrying a gun, aren’t you?”
