Heroic Death System

Chapter 42 (Arc 4)

Let Me Protect You (X)

"Say it, where is the money?" The driving bald man had already broken free of the police's pursue and asked Shang Ke who sat on the copilot.

"When are you releasing my foster parents?" Shang Ke asked in reply.

"If we can't get the money, I won't let them go." This is his bottomline.

Shang Ke fell silent for a moment then said a place: "Green Wheat Farm."

He didn't make up the place as it really was a stronghold of Tabimu before. It was just relatively hidden and the common members did not know of it. But the bald man clearly heard of it before as his eyes began to shine.

At the other side, Rowan who was monitoring them immediately arranged for the police force to go to Green Wheat Farm to prepare.

Green Wheat Farm was about over one thousand kilometer away from their spot, even if they drove without rest, it would take the next day to get there. The criminals clearly did not have that much energy and stopped at a motel at eleven to rest.

"If you don't want to involve the people of this hotel, then you better stay put." The bald man pushed the three into a small room and left behind a warning before leaving with another watcher.

"Bruno, what is going on?" The Ferrg couple did not have any desire to blame him despite the fright they took. The gaze they used on Shang Ke was curious and full of worry.

"Don't worry." Shang Ke comforted them. "I won't let anything happen to you two."

From afar where Feng Juan was at, he had just finished a family banquet and returned to his room. The first thing he did was open his computer, planning to contact Shang Ke. But then he suddenly thought how it should be very late over there and hesitated over it before finally caving to his desire. He decided to cruelly wake him up then video him.

He called but it rang for a long time with no one picking up. Feng Juan was unwilling to give up and continued to call while he browsed the UK internet.

Suddenly, his actions stopped as his eyes were rigidly staring at the top story of the news page—Mr. Bruin's office building was met with a terrorist attack. Three people were taken hostage and were currently unaccounted for...

Three people... the first people Feng Juan thought of was Shang Ke and the Ferrg couple.

His fingers trembled and he almost couldn't hold onto his phone. After a moment of shock, he quickly found Rowan's number and called.

"What happened? Are Shang Ke and my foster parents in trouble?" The moment the call connected, Feng Juan yelled into the phone.

Silence flowed from the other side for a few seconds before a reply finally came, "Yes, they are taken hostage by a group of criminals."

"Why would the criminals caught them when they did nothing?"

"Do you know Tabimu?"

"I know them, they were the ones that kidnapped me and Shang Ke back then."

"Yes." Rowan deeply said, "After you guys were saved, Tabimu did not plan to let you guys off. In order to protect you guys, Bruno always dealt with them in secret with the police." He paused, then added, "Since ten years ago."

Ten years ago? Shang Ke was only seven back then! Feng Juan's mind went blank. So in the time when he still knew nothing, Shang Ke was already protecting him? In these ten years, the reason why anything he did went so smoothly was because Ke Ke was laying out the way for him in secret.
