Jiang Yue Lou didn’t sleep well that night, and one cannot miss the big dark circles under his eyes when he got up early in the morning. Sun Yongren and Song Rong kept winking at each other secretly while eating breakfast but Jiang Yue Lou didn’t seem to notice them.

“Song Rong, after dinner go and try to find a way to get Miss Cheng to work with us.”

Song Rong and Sun Yongren looked at each other, “Boss, Miss Cheng doesn’t know me so how can she trust me? It’s better to ask Doctor Chen to talk to her.”

“Yes, yes, we should let Doctor Chen take care of this.” Sun Yongren echoed Song Rong, pretending not to see Jiang Yue Lou’s ugly face. HRjUBO

Jiang Yue Lou threw the chopsticks back on the table, “Then if you can’t help with this! Think of a solution yourself!”

Before he finished his sentence, someone knocked on the door. Two short and one long knocks.

Sun Yongren jumped up and opened the door as quickly as he could.

Chen Yu Zhi was standing at the door with a calm expression as usual, “I walked in a hurry yesterday and forgot to leave you my keys. I was afraid that it might affect your movement, so I went to the apartment of Miss Cheng instead.”

dGJ7kV

He leaned to the side, revealing Chu Ran who was following behind.

Chu Ran was wearing a simple and elegant cheongsam*. She walked into the room, looked around this small apartment curiously, and then looked at Jiang Yue Lou, “Is Mr. Bai feeling better?”

Unsure if Chen Yu Zhi and Miss Cheng heard their conversation, Jiang Yue Lou was a little embarrassed, “I’m okay, thank you, Miss Cheng, for your concern.”

“Great,” Chu Ran smiled and nodded. “Hearing you just now from outside speaking with such confidence, I knew you fully recovered.” UN3Bdq

Sun Yongren chuckled and Song Rong almost couldn’t help himself.

 

 

Chu Ran met Chen Yu Zhi downstairs of her apartment. He had a grim expression on his face and didn’t seem to have slept well. l6Tqav

“Were you waiting for me?” She greeted him. Chu Ran always had a good impression of this young doctor, with his good medical skills, good heart, and courage.

Chen Yu Zhi nodded, “Can I talk to you for a minute?”

Chu Ran had no class this morning, and it was early. The two of them walked slowly on the street in the early morning.

“You want me to help?” sSoKjv

After listening to Chen Yu Zhi’s words, Chu Ran was a little surprised, “You are the one who told me not to be involved in this matter anymore.”

Chen Yu Zhi scruples before nodding, “I know that such a request is excessive, but I still hope you can help, you work in the Blue coffee shop, and I promise the things you will have to do, will not arouse suspicion.”

“You are asking me to help you kill people.” Chu Ran pointed out without avoiding it, “And, you said yourself, you still have doubts regarding this issue, so why should I agree to do it?”

Chen Yu Zhi stopped and a hesitant look appeared on his face. cL3a7U

“Say it,” Chu Ran stared at him, “You aren’t the kind of person who doesn’t care about human life.”

Chen Yu Zhi thought for a moment, and then made up his mind to speak, “Last night I checked all the medical records that I could find from the past ten years about the patients living in the slum who were treated in the free clinic near Shengdetang by Doctor Qiu.”

“And?”

“Although the cause of these people’s deaths is a combination of poverty and disease, most of them were using opium. As long as they smoke opium, one year is enough to make a well-off home impoverished, and three years is enough to make a strong man bedridden, unable to work and provide for his family.” DwJQ2P

Chen Yu Zhi bit his lip, Chu Ran could see the restrained anger in his bright eyes.

“The slum used to be a small fishing village more than ten years ago, but after the establishment of Shengde Church, it shrank into the present slum.” Chen Yu Zhi continued, “This is a parish, and the influence of the priests here is far greater than that of the police station. I don’t think Father Andrew was unaware of what was going on in this area.”

“So, you are doubting him…”

“I can’t help but doubt him.” JnT19y

Chen Yu Zhi bowed to Chu Ran and said, “I’m sorry for asking you to do such a dangerous thing, but to find out the truth, I can only ask you, Ms. Cheng. So please think about it.”

“No need to think about it, I’ll help you.”

Chen Yu Zhi raised his head in surprise and saw Chu Ran’s straight smile.

“All the dangerous things will be done by you. I’ll just help, and the others would not suspect me.” f25Ono

She smiled slightly, “Moreover, it’s only men who can be brave and heroic.”

“……Thank you.”

“No need,” Chu Ran said, “I’m just saying that Bai Qing was right to choose you to convince me.”

Chen Yu Zhi stared at her, puzzled, but Chu Ran saw his expression clearly. dvEX6d

“I know he used a pseudonym. My name is also not “Miss Cheng”. Chu Ran said clearly, reaching out to Chen Yu Zhi, “But I think that when this matter is over, we will go our separate ways. So, we don’t need to care about these details.”

Her open-minded attitude made Chen Yu Zhi smile, and he gently shook her hand back in agreement.

“You’re right, we just happened to be traveling on this rugged road for the same purpose, but it’s still nice to meet you.”

“Me too.” CgfDkz

 

 

As dusk approached, the street lights started to shine. The number of guests in the Blue coffee shop gradually increased. There was a car parked on the corner of the street not far from the cafe, and the curtains were tightly drawn.

Song Rong sat in the driver’s seat, next to Sun Yongren. Jiang Yue Lou was in the back seat, quietly observing from the gap. GUZNsj

A black Bentley car parked in front of the Blue coffee shop, and Father Andrew got out of the car.

“He’s here.” Jiang Yue Lou whispered.

Song Rong nodded, slid the front window down a little bit, and stretched out his hand to hang a red ribbon on the rearview mirror.

Chu Ran was blending coffee absently, stirring up brown ripples. Ali, a female classmate who was working with her, walked back with the tray she had just collected. At this time the revolving door opened, and Father Andrew walked in, wearing a well-made suit and holding an exquisite walking stick, and walked to the place where he usually sat.

Ali was very excited, “Hey, that rich old gentleman is, here again, I’m going to make a tip!” She wanted to go out with the menu but was pulled by Chu Ran.

“Let me go. I know his usual taste.” Chu Ran said, “I will give you half of the tip.” t06zh4

She walked over with the menu and asked Father Andrew what he wanted to order, and the priest waved his hand, “It’s fine, same as usual.”

“Okay, a cup of coffee, and a steak. Please wait, it will be ready in a minute.”

“Even though Dr. Chen is a scholar, he is calm when he has to face danger,” Sun Yongren whispered, “He has the attitude of a general.”

Song Rong nodded, and Jiang Yue Lou in the back seat smiled, “He is brave, don’t be fooled by his harmless appearance.” COLdie

” Well, if he was timid, he’d be scared off.” Sun Yongren added boldly, “Boss, you still seemed worried.”

 

 

Just as Chen Yu Zhi walked into the cafe, a waiter greeted him, “Do you have a reservation, sir?” jz3RnI

“No, I don’t.”

“I’m sorry. We are already full.”

Chu Ran greeted him, “Doctor Chen, why are you here?”

Chen Yu Zhi smiled and nodded at her, “Last time you said you would invite me to drink the best coffee in Hong Kong, I happen to have time today, so came here to try your coffee.” yQsEXO

Chu Ran looked around and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know you will come today, otherwise I would have reserved a seat for you.”

Chen Yu Zhi also saw that the coffee shop was full, “It’s okay, I’ll come back another day.”

“If you don’t mind, you can sit here.” A voice called out.

Father Andrew, in the corner seat, stood up and gestured to the two with a smile. liK2SA

 

 

“Dr. Chen didn’t come out,” Sun Yongren said, “It looks like everything is going according to the plan.”

“Continue to observe.” Jiang Yue Lou’s eyes did not turn for a moment, RoTKlJ

“Be ready at any time.”

“Dr. Chen, what would you like to eat?” Father Andrew was very kind, “You can order anything it’s on me” 8utPDb

“Thank you for your kindness, I already had dinner at the clinic.” Chen Yu Zhi, “Just a cup of coffee is good.”

Chu Ran came with a tray, put coffee and a steak in front of Father Andrew, and a coffee in front of Chen Yu Zhi. Father Andrew took out two banknotes and placed them on her tray, “This young lady makes the best coffee in Hong Kong. Dr. Chen, you are very lucky.”

Chu Ran smiled happily, her gaze fell on the priest’s hand, his index finger and ring finger were a little unnaturally bent, and there were obvious calluses on the second joint of the middle finger.

She and Chen Yu Zhi looked at each other, and the latter lowered his eyes. EHziak

“Gentlemen, I hope you’ll enjoy your meal,” Chu Ran put away the tray and left.

Father Andrew slowly picked up the knife and the fork to cut the steak. Chen Yu Zhi picked up the coffee and sipped it. He frowned slightly, put down the coffee cup, added a piece of sugar and milk, and gently stirred the coffee with a silver spoon. The priest looked at his movements and smiled.

“The way you drink coffee is very much like my son, always putting as many sugars as possible.”

Chen Yu Zhi was a little shy, “I’m not used to bitterness.” lnGpHC

“Young people are like this, they prefer to enjoy the sweetness of life rather than the bitterness.”

The priest looked at him kindly, “Like you, he also chose medicine.”

“Your son? Is he also in Hong Kong?”

“No, he is in London.” Father Andrew seemed a little sad saying those words, “We have not seen each other for many years. Even father and son sometimes disagree.” O1plX5

He seemed unwilling to talk about this topic, so Chen Yu Zhi stopped asking. He took out a paper packet from his pocket, which contained a few crude hand-rolled cigarettes, took one out, and handed it to Father Andrew.

“Father, have you seen such cigarettes before?”

Father Andrew put the cigarette on the end of his nose and sniffed it lightly. Chen Yu Zhi watched his expression. The priest’s expression changed slightly.

“Where did you get this cigarette?” ktvsYJ

“Someone was selling this kind of cigarettes near Gospel Alley.” Chen Yu Zhi said, “But when I wanted to buy it, that person ran away.”

The priest sniffed the cigarettes again, “Because this kind of thing is not to be selling to you.” He suddenly raised his eyes, “So where did you get these cigarettes?”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Chen Yu Zhi was silent for a moment, “At that poor family’s house. I took it quietly during the free clinic.”

Father Andrew raised one eyebrow, “It’s no wonder that his physical and economic conditions have deteriorated so quickly.” 2bQ0tT

“The man’s body has completely collapsed, and he probably wouldn’t survive this winter. There are three children in his family, one of which is still a baby…”

Chen Yu Zhi said, raising his eyes to look at Father Andrew, “And it’s not just his family. As far as I know, there are a lot of people in the same situation. These people respect the church. If you can set up some sort of “drug-resistance meeting”, you may be able to save some people’s lives.

Father Andrew swallowed his last piece of steak, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and took a sip of coffee.

“God is kind, but everyone has their destiny.” ndWTMK

He sniffed the aroma of coffee admiringly, “Golden lads and girls all must As chimney-sweepers, come to dust...*

Chen Yu Zhi’s expression gradually hardened, “I don’t think Shakespeare would call death caused by drugs a peaceful rest.”

At the bar, Chu Ran held the tray and stared at Chen Yu Zhi’s table. Ali looked left and right while holding two banknotes, excited.

“Two pounds is enough for me to buy a new dress!” She was suddenly embarrassed, “Um, it’s nice of you, why did you give it to me…” EiXHz3

Chu Ran replied absent-mindedly, “It’s okay, I have enough clothes to wear.”

“How can women complain about having too many clothes…” Ali muttered, “Or should you go with me and I will choose one for you?”

Chu Ran ignored her and took the glass vase on the side, selecting two yellow roses from the bouquet on the bar’s side and placing them in the vase. She turned on the faucet and splattered some water on the rose, making it more delicate and dripping.

Jiang Yue Lou kept a close eye on the Blue coffee shop, his palm sweating from the anxiety. He has been dealing with opium all his life. No one knows how crazy opium smokers and how vicious opium traffickers can be. No one knows better than him. For Lucas, killing a poor doctor with no power is even easier than crushing an ant.

“Keep watching,” he said subconsciously.

“My eyes almost popped out staring so much.” Sun Yongren muttered. 9RW6BT

“Don’t even try to blink!”

“Boss!” Song Rong was staring at the other side of the street, “Look at that car!”

“You seem to feel very sorry,” Father Andrew looked at Chen Yu Zhi, with a trace of concern in his expression.

“It is always regrettable to die that young,” Chen Yu Zhi controlled his emotions, “I just…if my medical skills were better…”

“Don’t blame yourself, my child, you have done everything you can do.”

The priest reassured him, “Leave the rest to God. He will forgive and save the souls of these self-willing fallen men.” 5t7cBa

Chen Yu Zhi drank the rest of the coffee silently.

“It was a pleasure to chat with you. I should go back to the clinic, so let’s say goodbye.”

The priest smiled and nodded, “I am also very happy to chat with you. Please be sure to have a meal with me at the free clinic next time.”

Chen Yu Zhi nodded politely, got up, and left. He forgot that his medicine kit was still on the ground, and he tripped over the belt of the kit as soon as he took a step, “Ah!” GEodIW

Seeing that he was about to fall sturdily to the ground, Father Andrew quickly stretched out his hand and held his arm, “Be careful.”

Chen Yu Zhi paused and stood up, a little embarrassed, “Yes, I’m sorry, thank you!”

He tidied the medicine kit and quickly left. Chu Ran was passing by holding the vase, “Doctor Chen, are you leaving already?”

“Yes, thank you for your coffee.” XPatxA

Chen Yu Zhi looked at the rose, “It’s a beautiful flower. It will look great to see it from the window.”

Chu Ran looked at his expression and lowered her eyes, “Yes, it would be really beautiful.”

Without stopping, she placed the vase on the small cabinet next to the window and adjusted the whole curtain before walking away.

A black car came from the street and parked in front of the Blue coffee shop. The car door opened, and a woman with heavy make-up walked down.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Isn’t that… that female gangster!”

“Yes, Sun Heming called her sister Xiaofeng!” Sun Yongren also twisted his body and leaned forward, his shock expression fading. av6u9Q

Jiang Yue Lou also secretly cursed. This sister Xiaofeng is precisely the one who attacked him under Chu Ran’s apartment and Chen Yu Zhi had a face-to-face encounter with her.

“The plan has changed!” He whispered, “Wait for Chen Yu Zhi to come out and then let’s go after them”

“But…”

Sun Yongren returned to the side to face Jiang Yue Lou, “Boss, look! It’s a yellow rose!” DB7cbL

A yellow rose appeared at the window.

Jiang Yue Lou loaded the bullet and pushed it forward with a click, “Start the car.”

Chen Yu Zhi and Chu Ran walked towards the exit. Another wave of guests just came in and passed the revolving door at the same time as them. Through the glass, Chen Yu Zhi saw the beautifully dressed woman, and she also saw him at the same time.

He remembered her face right away as this is the woman who almost shot him downstairs in Chu Ran’s apartment. wGML4Z

Chen Yu Zhi’s heart started to beat very fast, but his face remained impassive. He bowed his head and walked out of the revolving door.

The sky was completely dark, but as the area here was prosperous there were a lot of people on the street. Chen Yu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and hastened his pace.

“Hey, you!” A woman’s voice sounded from behind, “Stop!”

Sister Xiaofeng walked out of the revolving door and pointed at Chen Yu Zhi’s back and shouted, “Stop him!” jGcZSX

Several men jumped out of the car and chased after Chen Yu Zhi.

“Crap!” Sun Yongren was about to rush out, “Dr. Chen, come back here quickly!”

“He won’t come here.” Jiang Yuelou ordered, “Start the car and rush over there.”

Chen Yu Zhi didn’t want to expose Jiang Yue Lou. He heard footsteps approaching behind him, threw the medical kit without thinking, and ran away. DTLnCY

Gunshots sounded in his ears. There were also the harsh rubbing sounds of tires. Somewhere the fire alarm rang, deafening. His arm was grabbed roughly.

“Let go of…” Before he finished speaking, Chen Yu Zhi received a heavy punch in the abdomen.

He bent down in pain, and his vision blurred. Someone threw him into the car and slammed the car door shut.

“Go,” Father Andrew said coldly. epPQK8

 

 

The moment Xiaofeng ordered her men to catch Chen Yu Zhi, Song Rong started the car and rushed forward. Jiang Yue Lou stretched out his arm and shot the thugs running in the front.

The pedestrians on the street were in an uproar, screaming and running away. Sister Xiaofeng reacted extremely quickly and immediately drew her gun towards Jiang Yue Lou’s car to fight back. A few thugs rushed into the Blue cafe, ready to protect Father Andrew. 6xdnuN

“Boss, what should we do?” Sun Yongren said,

“Don’t hesitate, let’s rush in and take that old man!”

Jiang Yue Lou looked at the café entrance that was now surrounded by thugs and then looked at Chen Yu Zhi who was about to be kidnapped in front of him.

“Go ahead!” He gritted his teeth, “Quick!” OJha9K

Song Rong didn’t need him to order a second time, and immediately stepped on the accelerator and rushed in the direction of Chen Yu Zhi. Unexpectedly, two black cars rushed out of the corner of the street and almost collided with them. The leading car came around and parked on their side, while the other blocked the front, making Jiang Yue Lou and the others unable to drive. At the same time, a bullet hit the car from behind. Jiang Yue Lou looked back and saw that Andrew was escorted by someone, walked out of the cafe, and got in the car calmly. The car started to drive away.

“Damn it!” Jiang Yue Lou retracted his head, avoiding the bullet fired by the car next to him.

“Reverse, and rush through!”

“Yes!” Song Rong swiftly reversed backward, and then rushed forward, pushing out the car in front of him. The thugs who fired from the window of the car were knocked over. a8CkSM

Sun Yongren’s head hit the car glass, and he let out a thump, “Ouch!”

But they were too late. Chen Yu Zhi, who was not far away, was dragged into the car and seemed to have passed out. Jiang Yue Lou leaned out of the side window to shoot, and Sun Yongren also followed his suit and fired quickly. But the two cars from before come close again, shooting intensely, forcing Jiang Yue Lou to retract into the car. Father Andrew’s car drove away quickly.

 

  p7EMVD

Chen Yu Zhi struggled to sit upright and found the priest sitting next to him. The mask of kindness has fallen off his face, revealing the look of a petulant prey.

.Chen Yu Zhi twisted the handlebar to jump off the car, but the door was locked. Sister Xiaofeng, in the front seat, turned around and pointed the gun to his head. Chen Yu Zhi stared at the muzzle of the black hole unafraid and without looking away. Sister Xiaofeng started to smile and gently pulled the bolt.

“Don’t shoot him,” Father Andrew responded, “This doctor’s life can still be useful.”

The woman snorted, retracted her gun, and looked at Chen Yu Zhi with a nonchalant expression and with a hint of playfulness in her eyes. Chen Yu Zhi ignored her and glanced in the rearview mirror. Several black cars followed closely behind. Jiang Yue Lou’s car was also there. Chen Yu Zhi grimaced worriedly. pjROTJ

“I thought the two of us were friends, but it seemed like you’re Mr. Jiang’s friend.” Father Andrew who was the true Lucas looked at Chen Yu Zhi with a reproachful expression. Chen Yu Zhi decided to remain silent.

“Sir, they are still following us.” Sister Xiaofeng reported back while looking at the rearview mirror.

Lucas didn’t seem to care, “Follow the old rules, you know how to deal with them.”

“Yes.” 5B3jXI

The driver blew his horn, buzzed a few times, and drove into the alley on the left. Not far away, a courtyard door opened, and several men in black rushed out. The driver stopped, Lucas and Xiaofeng got off quickly. Chen Yu Zhi couldn’t resist and was dragged out of the car. Several people in black jumped into the car and continued to drive forward.

As soon as the courtyard door was closed behind them, the cars which were following them first continue their course. The sound of wheels rubbing came in through the gate. Chen Yu Zhi knew that Jiang Yue Lou was in the car, but he had no time to shout. He could only be carried through the deserted yard and dragged into a new car parked at the other side of the gate.

The back door opened quietly, and the car with the curtains slowly drove out of another alley and turned into the street without being noticed.

  PASlUT

 

Lucas’s car was not slowing down and was driving away from the city. Jiang Yue Lou followed closely but felt in his heart that something was wrong.

“Boss, something is wrong,” Song Rong remarked, “I don’t think Lucas is running away but seems to lead us into a trap.”

“But we have been chasing them since the beginning and Dr. Chen is in the car,” Sun Yongren looked at the front. XN10qA

Jiang Yue Lou stared at the car in front of him which started to slow down when it reached a clear area.

“No, they fooled us!” Jiang Yue Lou cursed, “Turn around!”

Song Rong slammed the steering wheel, and as soon as he turned the corner, two cars behind them blocked their way, and three more cars surrounded them simultaneously. The car’s headlights were very bright and dazzled them. The three cars opened the doors one after another, and more than a dozen thugs got out surrounding Jiang Yue Lou’s car with guns and knives and with a fierce expression.

The situation was critical, and a serious fight was about the breakout. 3ITdXG

“What should we do next?!” Sun Yongren didn’t feel nervous anymore and spoke calmly. Song Rong took out another gun from his hand box and stooped over calmly.

There was a trace of pride in Jiang Yuelou’s eyes, “Be ready. I’ll take the east, you west and south for Song Rong, understand?”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Yes.”

“We’re gone make it,” Sun Yongren said, “Once Dr. Chen is rescued, let’s go to have some Pu’er tea. I also want to drink some salty soy milk.” 5Ceqop

“You’re a good-for-nothing.”

“Boss, how can you treat me like this.”

The three met each other’s eyes and bent down at the same time.

The sound of gunshots erupted, and bullets hit the car one after another like a gust of rain. Bullets shattered all of the window glass, and fragments fell to the ground. Fortunately, Song Rong had previously installed iron plates on the car’s side. gRDMZO

Although many bullets penetrated the door, they couldn’t hurt them.

The three laid motionless. Sun Yongren’s bald head was rubbed by the broken glass, and he cursed in a low voice. Song Rong raised a hand to stop him.

The gunfire finally started to slow down until it gradually stopped. The car was a mess. If it was a normal vehicle, the people inside would have been dead already.

Jiang Yue Lou raised three fingers: three, two, one… NKHcjo

The three got up almost at the same time. Sun Yongren turned to the right and Jiang Yue Lou to the left. Song Rong also stood out and fired at the front and the back with his double guns. The people outside didn’t expect them to be still alive and fell one after another.

Ying Hou No, the leader, reacted quickly, grabbing one of his subordinates, and stepping back behind a car.

“Fuck! Come back!” Ying Hou No shouts over the bullet sound and commanded the remaining men to come on his side. Seeing that most of his people were killed and injured, he angrily took out a small grenade, pulled it, and thrown it on Jiang Yue Lou’s car, “Die! And go to meet Lao Tzu*!”

“Grenade!” Song Rong shouted while shooting Ying Hou No. 4qRdVE

“Cover me!” Jiang Yue Lou opened the car door and jumped out. He rolled, grabbed the smoking grenade, and threw it back at the gangster. The grenade exploded before it hit the ground, killing the gangster hiding behind the car. The explosion’s wave almost overturned the car.

“Fuck me!” Sun Yongren scolded, “These people are all equipped like they were part of the army. Where the heck did this grenade come from?!”

Jiang Yue Lou got up and patted the dust on the clothes, “If you have money, you can buy anything. It has always been like this. Hurry up, let’s replenish our ammunition.”

Sun Yongren went to pick up guns and bullets. Song Rong quickly checked the car. 5ncrux

“Chief, there are two more cars available. What should we do?”

Jiang Yue Lou wiped his face with his sleeve, “Didn’t Sun Yongren just said it, Let’s go!”

He didn’t add anything else and they rushed towards Lucas’ den.

  rtNHM

 

The candlelight in the Shengde Church was soft and holy.

In the empty lobby, Chen Yu Zhi was sitting on the first row of benches. Lucas was wearing a suit, sitting on the other side of the chair across the corridor, praying.

.Chen Yu Zhi showed a mocking smile, “Father, are you asking God to forgive your guilty soul?” 6sqnRj

After Lucas prayed, he lit another candle, “I am praying for you, my child, for your obsessive soul.”

Lucas sighed regretfully, “You could have won my friendship and respect, but you trampled on my kindness instead.”

“You are the one who trampled on others. As a priest, you are doing invisible crimes in secret, using the trust of the people, spreading drugs among them for profiteering, and watching them dying.” Chen Yu Zhi continued, “And you still have the face to sit here and pray. Either you don’t trust your Lord at all, or you worship the Devil!”

Lucas stretched out his big hand and suddenly grabbed Chen Yu Zhi’s neck. He looked like he was nearly sixty years old, but his strength was incredible, and he almost lifted Chen Yu Zhi off the bench. cu2yd

Chen Yu Zhi struggled desperately, kicking with his feet, and using his fingers tried to break Lucas’s iron fist, but the suffocation quickly made him lose his strength, his lungs hurt like they were going to burst, and his vision blurred.

“Those dumb and depraved villagers are not worthy of being God’s people at all. They live like livestock, and should die like livestock!” Lucas tightens Chen Yu Zhi’s thin neck viciously, “Some people are not worthy to receive God’s love. Glory! Go to hell!”

Chen Yu Zhi was slowly losing consciousness. “I’m dying, Keying…I haven’t found Keying yet…”

Lucas suddenly loosened his hands, and air rushed into Chen Yu Zhi’s lungs again. He fell on the bench, choking and coughing violently. W2ddU5

“I can spare your life. You remind me of my beloved son.”

Lucas said, “As long as you tell me where Jiang Yue Lou is hiding, I promise I won’t hurt you.”

Chen Yu Zhi supported himself with one hand on the chair and stroked his painful throat with the other, almost speechless.

“I…, I don’t know, but he won’t hide…” XueLti

His breath was weak but his eyes looked at Lucas fearlessly, “Unlike you, Jiang Yue Lou is not a coward.”

Lucas showed a helpless look and looked at the crucifix on the altar, “Lord, please forgive these unenlightened sinners.” Before he could say anything, he turned around abruptly and struck Chen Yu Zhi in the head.

Chen Yu Zhi was caught off guard, he fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

  1. Hi, I don’t want to bother anyone. I came here from novel updates where it said that this group translated till chapter 18 but chapters from 9 to 18 doesn’t seem to exist. Are they anywhere else or it’s a mistake? You did an amazing work for an amazing piece, I will wait quietly for the other chapters!
