Chapter 66: Chapter 66: The Fierce Bandit
Lin Xian carried the gun and strode forward.
“Hey… hey! Just strutting around like that!?” Big Face Cat was shocked into contortion, but still obediently followed.
Lin Xian walked up to the black sedan.
There was no time to see any motion of drawing and aiming the gun!
In the blink of an eye!
Lin Xian’s miraculously accurate gunfire had already shattered the car’s glass and blown the driver’s head off!
“Holy shit! What kind of shooting is that!” Big Face Cat exclaimed.
The driver died without knowing how, with a blank look in his eyes.
Lin Xian tossed the handgun to Big Face Cat.
Then he opened the car door and pulled a black handgun from the driver’s waist.
“Up to the second floor.”
The villa was enormous.
But Lin Xian, familiar with the place, turned left and right, arriving at the door of a bedroom.
He kicked open the door.
A man and a woman on the bed panicked!
“Don’t move,” Lin Xian commanded with his gun aimed at the two.
Big Face Cat tore up the bedsheet, binding the two tightly.
Lin Xian, sitting on the edge of the bed:
“Brother Lian, just bring the van over. The garage, the cellar, the wine cellar, the underground pool… they’re all filled with gold bars, bundles of cash, jewels. When you’ve moved them, call me; I’ll be here guarding them.”
“If there’s a safe or password-protected cabinet or something, come ask for the code.”
Big Face Cat picked up a set of keys from the table and scampered downstairs.
Lin Xian sat on the bed, glancing at his watch.
It was only 12 o’clock.
Tonight’s mission was already complete, so he’d just wait here with Big Face Cat until 00:42.
Although Lin Xian knew that however many gold bars Big Face Cat moved, it would be in vain because the world would end on schedule in 42 minutes. But avenging his daughter was Big Face Cat’s lifelong obsession; let him enjoy the process, nevertheless.
With nothing better to do, Lin Xian began to survey the room’s decor.
The bedroom was large, and the decoration was extremely luxurious.
In the corner of the room, on a large desk, there were several standing frames with photographs of Lee Cheng alongside various world-class celebrities.
Lin Xian was very familiar with this old ATM… no, old friend Lee Cheng; he had been visiting for over twenty years, had seen these photographs many years ago.
There certainly were many big shots in them.
Lin Xian vaguely remembered that the most prominent photograph was of Lee Cheng with a world-class leader, truly heavyweight.
World-class stars and athletes were plentiful as well; many of the people Lin Xian had seen on the covers of bookstore magazines could be found in photographs in Lee Cheng’s home.
Even including the world’s first—
Lin Xian stopped thinking,
He narrowed his eyes and slowly rose from the bed.
Then, he quickly walked over to Lee Cheng’s desk and began to search among the frames.
He suddenly remembered.
There was one photo that was very odd!
He hadn’t thought much of it before because at that time he had no idea about the Genius Club.
Lin Xian picked up a frame, staring at the photograph inside…
Lee Cheng looked serious, sitting upright in a chair.
He raised his right hand to eyebrow level, extended his index finger, and pointed straight to the sky—eerie and arrogant.
Lin Xian remembered the seal on the Genius Club’s invitation.
The seal stamped on the wax, that enigmatic gesture… was exactly the same as the one in this photo of Lee Cheng!
The cool air from the air conditioner slipped in through the legs of his trousers.
Lin Xian slowly turned back to look at Lee Cheng, who was tied up and kneeling on the ground, while Big Face Cat’s words echoed around him:
“Rumor has it, only the top-tier rich, the most extreme geniuses, the most powerful big shots… can receive an invitation from this club!”
Lin Xian smashed the photo frame onto the bench in front of Lee Cheng.
“Don’t don’t don’t don’t kill me! I’ll do anything! Please, I beg you, I’ll agree to anything! Don’t kill me!”
Lee Cheng’s face turned deathly pale as he wildly twisted his body to beg for mercy! His pupils shaking rapidly in terror!
“I just want to know one thing,” said Lin Xian calmly.
Lee Cheng nodded furiously:
“I will talk! I’ll say anything!!”
Lin Xian squatted down, staring into his eyes:
“Tell me. What exactly is the Genius Club?”
“What… what club?” Lee Cheng was stunned.
Lin Xian fired directly! Lee Cheng screamed in fright!
Lee Cheng realized he hadn’t been shot.
His pupils trembling, he looked to the side.
His mistress had somehow broken free from her bindings, a bloody hole gaping in the back of her head, her body slumped lifelessly over the nightstand.
And from the half-open drawer of the nightstand, the silver grip of a handgun was visible…
Lin Xian pressed the scorching barrel of the gun against Lee Cheng’s forehead.
But faced with this merciless killer, Lee Cheng dared not move an inch:
“I’m not messing with you! I really haven’t heard of this club you’re talking about!”
“She tried to grab the gun herself after she broke free! It’s got nothing to do with me! I have been honest! I’ll tell you whatever you ask! Take whatever you want!”
Now Lee Cheng understood as well.
Just now, his mistress, somehow, had untangled the bedsheet that was binding her hands and rushed for the gun in the nightstand, attempting to fight back…
But she could never have anticipated!
The thug across from her had way too quick and accurate a shooting technique!
She couldn’t see any movement of raising the gun to aim… He didn’t even spare it a glance, but instantly shot her in the head!
“Genius… Genius Club, right! Let me think! Let me think!”
Lee Cheng’s head was covered in sweat, dripping down.
With his hands tied behind his back, he couldn’t wipe the sweat away, nor did he dare to, so he just kept his head raised motionless, his mind racing through his memories…
“Genius Club… Genius Club…”
His face contorted in pain as he kept muttering.
Finally, with tears welling up in his eyes, he opened them:
“I… I really can’t think of anything, I’ve truly never heard of this club!”
“I indeed have joined many clubs, all kinds… but this one you mentioned, I truly have no recollection! I’m really not lying to you! I am truly scared to death! I’m already in this state… why would I lie to you!”
“Still pretending?” Lin Xian sneered intentionally:
“Sick of living, are you? This photo is concrete evidence of the Genius Club!”
Lee Cheng was completely befuddled, squinting seriously at the photo.
“This, this I really don’t know what you’re talking about!”
Lee Cheng burst into desperate tears:
“I don’t know what you’re trying to say or ask! Can you give me a hint? If I really knew what you’re asking about, I would definitely tell you!”
“Lee Cheng, I’m giving you one last chance to explain,” Lin Xian said.
He pointed to the picture frame, at Lee Cheng’s right hand pointing straight up to the sky:
“What does this gesture mean?”
