Chapter 18 Wrath

"Ugh, ugh, ugh!" Luo Ningxiang's mouth was tightly taped shut, as she struggled relentlessly. "Do you want to speak? Fine, I'll let you talk!" One of them ripped off the tape. "Tianyang, don't worry about me!" Just as Luo Ningxiang tried to speak, she was gagged once again. "Where are you guys?" Zuo Tianyang's voice remained unusually calm, but deep down, his anger was simmering like a volcano on the verge of eruption. "The Blue Sky Old Factory in the North City area. If you don't arrive within half an hour, those men will have their way with your woman, hahaha!" The voice on the phone was filled with arrogance before falling silent. Zuo Tianyang heard the beep, closed his eyes briefly, and then, in a sudden burst of rage, kicked the iron door of the detention room. A wave of intense pressure swept through the room, causing the other prisoners to freeze in fear. With one powerful kick, Zuo Tianyang shattered the iron door and part of the wall, sending concrete debris flying everywhere. The door crashed to the ground with a loud thud, raising a cloud of dust. The loud noise alerted Ma Ju, Nangong Xue, and others in the meeting room, as well as the armed guards who rushed to the scene. "Shh, shh, shh!" Two rows of guards aimed their submachine guns at Zuo Tianyang simultaneously. "What... what is your intention?" a guard shouted, his confidence wavering as he saw the destruction caused by Zuo Tianyang. Nangong Xue and the others arrived at the scene, stunned by the sight before them. While Nangong Xue was taken aback, a fleeting cold smile appeared on Ma Ju's face. Zuo Tianyang stared coldly at Nangong Xue. "You promised to have someone watch over Xinghai Bay if I cooperated. Why was my woman kidnapped?" Nangong Xue paled, quickly checking her phone only to find numerous missed calls, causing her heart to sink. Realizing her mistake of putting her phone on silent during a heated argument in the conference room, Nangong Xue dialed the number and listened intently, her expression changing drastically. "Zuo Tianyang, I will immediately dispatch a team to locate Luo Ning Shuang. Please, calm down!" Nangong Xue understood the gravity of the situation and the implications of Zuo Tianyang being informed before her. Shaking his head, Zuo Tianyang stomped his right foot on the ground, creating a crack, before swiftly leaving, commandeering a police car and speeding away. Director Ma, though appearing angry and anxious, was inwardly pleased. He issued orders through his pager for all standby personnel to mobilize and assist in capturing Zuo Tianyang, with instructions to shoot if he resisted. "I repeat, shoot to kill if the suspect Zuo Tianyang resists!" Nangong Xue, now realizing the truth, looked at Director Ma in disbelief. "All of you, move out!" "Yes!" The guards quickly mobilized, preparing to pursue Zuo Tianyang. As the night grew darker, the weather in Ninghai turned tumultuous. The wind howled, lightning streaked across the sky, signaling an impending storm. Inside the car, Zuo Tianyang's eyes welled up with tears, indicating signs of losing control. The heavy rain cascaded down, and the police car driven by Zuo Tianyang raced forward like a flash of lightning in the darkness! As they approached the old factory, which was 500 meters away, Zuo Tianyang abandoned the car and sprinted towards the brightly illuminated building in the pouring rain! At the entrance of the old factory, six men in suits brandished submachine guns. "What terrible weather, raining just as predicted!" "Don't complain, Master Li mentioned that if we cooperate well with the higher-ups this time, each of us will receive one million, enough for a comfortable life!" These individuals were dispatched by the criminal organization "Red Eagle Society," who had a close connection with Mo Huai, to aid the assassins. Alongside them, there were over twenty individuals inside the factory, tasked with one objective: to prevent Zuo Tianyang from launching a surprise attack or escaping! The fate of Zuo Tianyang would be determined by fate itself! "After we complete this mission, shall we celebrate together?" one man proposed. "I want ten women..." Before he could finish his sentence, a dark figure darted past like a cheetah! "Crack!" The man who had spoken earlier collapsed to the ground! The remaining five were stunned and unable to react in time. Zuo Tianyang swiftly grabbed two individuals by the throat, twisted forcefully, then leaped into the air, delivering powerful kicks with his left and right legs, shattering the sternums of two others, somersaulting in the air, and striking two more times! In just five seconds, all six men lay lifeless on the ground! Zuo Tianyang's swift and merciless actions left them no opportunity to even utter a sound! Picking up a submachine gun from the ground, Zuo Tianyang's gaze turned icy as he advanced slowly into the old factory. "Sizzle...!" A crackling noise emanated from the walkie-talkie, prompting a subordinate upstairs to pick it up and exclaim, "What's happening?" "Boss Biao, something's amiss, the six guards at the factory entrance are all deceased!" "Phew!" Suddenly, the lights in the old factory extinguished, enveloping the entire building in darkness! "What's happening? Has he... has he arrived?" A wave of inexplicable dread swept through the armed personnel! The leader, Brother Biao, remained composed, having experienced such situations before. He retrieved the walkie-talkie and instructed, "Stay calm. As previously arranged, divide into five teams, each comprising five members. Groups one and two will secure the staircases on the second and third floors, while groups three and four will conduct separate searches. The fifth group will inspect the power source!" After a brief moment of chaos, everyone regrouped and began to follow the directives! In an abandoned office on the third floor, five assassins gathered. One of them sneered, "Boss, it seems like that kid has arrived!" The leader, reclining calmly in his chair, glanced at Luo Ningshuang. Despite the darkness outside, the office had backup lighting. He remarked, "Excellent, he's here. Isn't that what we wanted?" Luo Ningshuang felt anxious at that moment. She feared for Zuo Tianyang's safety and regretted holding him back, putting him in harm's way.
