Chapter 187.2: Daybreak (Part Two)
The butler waited outside anxiously. The constables had stopped him from going inside, so he didn’t know what had happened in the factory. When he saw the constables carrying out the mangled corpses, his face turned pale, and he ran forward in great panic. “Young Master, where are you?!”
The Aspiration Club mbers had also been denied entry, and they were worried about what had happened inside.
No, that was not quite right. None of the corpses were whole, and it was impossible for the constables to piece them all together on the spot, so they had just shoved the limbs onto a hand truck and pushed them out. Whenever they gathered enough severed parts, they put them into body bags to transport them to the Constabulary for later reassembly.
The Aspiration Club mbers were far away, but the heads were relatively intact on the hand trucks, so they could see their faces despite the distance. They were struck dumb. Were those... Mutual Aid Group mbers?
As more hand trucks ca out, the Aspiration Club mbers craned their necks anxiously to identify the people.
Mutual Aid Group... Mutual Aid Group... Still the Mutual Aid Group!
Anyone could tell at this point that a brutal fight had broken out inside the factory, but what exactly had happened?
Shen Shao thought of a possibility. After so hesitation, he said, “Look, could Chen Chuan have... You know?”
“Could it be...”
The other Aspiration Club mbers also thought of that possibility, and one of them got so worked up that he started trembling, but this was just too unreal. They couldn’t believe it.
Just then, an older man shouted, “That’s my young master’s body! You can’t take him with you!”
A Cult Investigation Bureau mber was moving Wei Jun’s corpse. “I’m sorry, but he seems to have died from a ritual, and the rules state that we must bring him back for an investigation.”
“Do you know who he is? He’s the heir of Wei Finances!”
The Cult Investigation Bureau mber just scoffed. “You’re shouting so loudly that I was beginning to think that he’s the heir of Black Orchid. We’re taking him with us.”
The butler tried to stop him again, but the other Cult Investigation Bureau mbers showed no rcy and punched him twice, sending him to his knees. They pointed at him and said, “This is your first warning. If you interfere with our work again, we’ll treat you as an evil cultist and kill you.”
They left with Wei Jun’s corpse.
One of the Aspiration Club mbers mumbled, “That was Wei Jun...”
“Wei Jun died too?”
The Aspiration Club mbers felt as if they were in a dream. Wei Jun had been one of the people who had orchestrated Shen Zheng’s death, so they hated him to their very core, but they couldn’t do anything to him. It was a shock to see him dead.
“He deserved it!” one mber shouted.
“Yes! He deserved it!”
The Aspiration Club mbers nodded and swung their clenched fists as their pent-up, negative feelings finally spilled out.
Just then, an observant mber noticed another person coming out. He pointed at the factory and exclaid in excitent, “Look! It’s Chen Chuan! He’s out! He’s okay!”
They looked over.
With the Frost King Saber in one hand and a box in the other, Chen Chuan walked out of the factory with Guan Yuming and a group of constables.
The sun was climbing further up the sky, and the sun’s light grew stronger. When it shone on the group, they felt a warmth on their skins. The trees, which had been dark and gloomy at night on either side of the road now revealed their green leaves, swaying gently in the wind.
Chen Chuan stood under the morning sun and took in a breath of fresh air. Even though he hadn’t slept, his eyes remained bright and clear.
Just then, he noticed the Aspiration Club mbers standing behind the barrier ropes staring at him in excitent. It was clear that they had rushed over after hearing that he had co.
Even though they ended up not working together due to clashing opinions, they ca when Chen Chuan was in danger. It showed that they sincerely wanted to help him.
He gave the Aspiration Club mbers a nod before getting into Guan Yuming’s car. The door slamd shut, and the car drove away with the other armored patrol cars following it. They were heading to the Quanzhou District headquarters.
The Aspiration Club mbers watched him leave full of excitent, but soon, their joy faded away, and they started worrying.
Chen Chuan was connected to the Mutual Aid Group mbers’ deaths. Would he be fine after this? The Mutual Aid Group mbers were supported by large and powerful organizations. Just thinking about them made anxiety churn in their stomachs.
“Let’s go to the lecturers and ask them to step forward. We can’t let those guys behind the Mutual Aid Group twist the truth!” soone imdiately suggested.
“Yes!”
“You’re right!”
“Let’s go back!”
They got into their SUVs and left.
Wei Jun’s butler got up with trembling legs and hands in the empty space in front of the factory. He held onto the security guard helping him up with a tight grip and said feebly, “Bring... Bring the telegraph set here. I need to send word to the master. I have to tell him... that the young master and his friends are all dead.”
