Chapter 38: Ending Up In Enemy Hands

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Qi Xiang stood up agitatedly and said loudly, “I do not know what fear is, Brother Jiu. I am really cautious around Jia Qian, but if I’m going to be learning martial arts from you and he is your enemy, then that means that he is my enemy, too!”

“It’s not that serious. Sit down.” Di Jiu motioned for Qi Xiang to sit before he explained, “Jia Qian’s men have captured one of my friends, I need to save her. Do you have any idea where they might have gone?”

Qi Xiang shook his head before he said, “I heard that they wanted to kill Di Wencheng, who owns the Di Clan’s manufacturing business. Are you related to the Di Clan’s manufacturing business, Brother Jiu?”

Di Jiu stopped Qi Xiang with a dismissive wave. “I may have been related to the Di Clan’s manufacturing business in the past, but I am not related to it in any way anymore. Now that we know where they are going, it should be easier for us to make plans...”

“Are you just going to wait outside the Di Clan’s manufacturing business, Brother Jiu?” Qi Xiang asked uncertainly.

Di Jiu nodded. “Exactly!”

“Brother Jiu, if you trust me, we should head over to my place first. I could discover the location of that car!” Qi Xiang said with certainty.

Di Jiu, who remembered that Qi Xiang had been able to alter footage from a surveillance camera previously, immediately realized that Qi Xiang was planning on hacking into the surveillance system. He agreed to go to Qi Xiang’s house without hesitation.

.....

Qi Xiang lived in a rather large house that took up about 200 square meters. His house was located within the Five Rings.

He turned on his laptop as soon as he got home.

Di Jiu was in awe of Qi Xiang’s high-level technological skills as he watched his hands move across the keyboard quickly while he retrieved and edited strings of data.

In less than 10 minutes, Qi Xiang had managed to open the file that contained the footage of the surveillance system. “This footage is from the surveillance camera near Yanzhen Square. I am familiar with the surveillance cameras around this area... Hang on, I found it! Here it is!”

Qi Xiang played the footage, which showed the car Di Jiu was looking for.

Qi Xiang was able to work much faster now. He immediately started looking through various other footage until he discovered the car’s location an hour later.

“Brother Jiu, I found it! The car is here. I would never have thought that this place could be Jia Qian’s den,” Qi Xiang said as he stared at the screen in surprise.

Di Jiu understood why Qi Xiang was so surprised. Jia Qian’s den was located in a nursing home.

“He is probably using the nursing home as a cover for something shady. Let’s head over right now. You’ll drive and lead the way.” Di Jiu hoped that nothing bad would happen to Su You, as he considered it his fault that she had been dragged into this situation.

“Alright!” Qi Xiang shut his laptop and placed it in his backpack.

...

Qi Xiang and Di Jiu arrived at the nursing home half an hour later.

“We will take this route, Brother Jiu. I have diverted all the surveillance cameras along the way,” Qi Xiang said as he marked out the route on his tablet.

Di Jiu stopped him. “I’ll go alone. You should stay here in case anything happens.”

...

Su You looked helplessly at the two men in front of her. Both her and her aunt’s hands were tied behind their backs, and their mouths had been taped shut.

She really regretted going to the Swallow Capital. If she had not gone there, at least her aunt Su Shufang would have been safe.

“This is the last night we will wait here, Yuan Shou. If there’s no further news from Bi Zhengsheng, we will need to relocate,” said the man sitting on the left. He had a beard and he looked rather imposing when he spoke.

Yuan Shou, who was the man sitting on the right, had fair skin and a protruding mouth. He chuckled as he replied, “There’s nothing to worry about, Brother Guo. Sister Lui Wan will personally handle this situation, and I definitely don’t think that Di fellow has superpowers. That good-for-nothing Bi Zhengsheng really caught a lucky break this time. Master Jia might have accepted him as an apprentice, but useless people will always be useless. At the end of the day, it is people like us who have to help finish the job.”

Yuan Shou’s gaze dropped to Su You’s face as he spoke. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva before saying, “Anyway, this chick is quite pretty indeed. Her skin is just...”

“Master Jia has specifically asked us to take her back for her punishment. Don’t even think of touching her,” Guo Wei said unwittingly.

Yuan Shou spat on the ground in anger. “He expects me to stay in this godforsaken place for that long? That Di fellow had better not end up in my hands, or I’ll...” Yuan Shou’s gaze dropped to Su You’s aunt’s body this time. He licked his lips as he said, “She is a little old, but I’d rather not just wait around.”

Before Yuan Shou could pounce on Su You’s aunt, Di Jiu’s voice was heard in the nick of time. “Looks like I have ended up in your hands after all...”

Guo Wei pulled out his pistol quickly at the exact moment that Di Jiu barged through the window.

Before Guo Wei could pull the trigger, a beam of white light nailed him at the spot between his eyebrows. Di Jiu immediately walked up to him and pressed that spot multiple times.

When Di Jiu managed to pull his dagger out, he was surprised to see that Guo Wei was not bleeding much.

Di Jiu’s actions had been so fast that only Guo Wei had been able to react. Yuan Shou was still in shock.

He only started to react when Guo Wei collapsed on the ground. Di Jiu had already pulled the dagger out of Guo Wei’s forehead and was currently sitting in Guo Wei’s seat. Yuan Shou instinctively reached for the weapon by his belt.

“Don’t even think of moving. I have killed seven of Bi Zhengsheng’s men, as well as this guy over here. That’s eight people in total. If you make a move, I’ll have to add you to my list,” Di Jiu said casually.

Although Yuan Shou had made threats about what he would do if Di Jiu ended up in his hands, he was more afraid than ever now that Di Jiu was there. Guo Wei’s skills had been much better than his, yet Guo Wei had barely managed to whip out his gun before he had been killed in mere seconds. If he dared to attack Di Jiu, he would probably end up like Guo Wei. Yuan Shou was not thinking about attacking Di Jiu anymore, but about convincing him to spare his life.

Su You was so pleasantly surprised as she watched Di Jiu in action, that she almost ignored the fact that he had just killed Guo Wei right in front of her.

When he was sure he had intimidated Yuan Shou sufficiently, Di Jiu walked over and untied the ropes around Su You and Su Shufang’s hands. “I’m really sorry, Su You. It’s probably my fault that you were dragged into this...”

“Thank you, Big Brother Di. It was my mistake for choosing the wrong venue for my birthday party. It’s my fault that my parents were killed. It had nothing to do with you,” Su You replied as tears started forming in her eyes.

“Thank you for saving Su You twice in a row. I am Su You’s aunt, Su Shufang,” Su Shufang said gratefully.

She knew for sure that if Di Jiu had not come to their rescue, these men would have done a lot worse things than just insult her and Su You.

“What do you two plan on...” As Di Jiu was speaking, he took a step back and kicked Yuan Shou hard.

Yuan Shou, who had been trying to take a few steps, landed beside the TV cabinet.

...

“As long as I take Su You to the Swallow Capital University’s Institute of Martial Arts, everything will be okay,” Su Shufang replied immediately. She understood why Di Jiu had asked them about their plans. Even though they had managed to escape that day, it would be difficult for her and Su You to avoid being captured by Jia Qian again in the future, considering his power.

“Alright, make your way there now. I’ll take care of things here,” Di Jiu replied succinctly.

As of now, the surveillance cameras outside were being controlled by Qi Xiang, so Su Shufang and Su You could escape undetected. It was also almost daybreak, so they had to leave as soon as possible.

“We will!” Su Shufang appeared to understand how serious the situation was. Di Jiu had just killed that Guo fellow right in front of them after all. It was obvious that he was not stupid. It would be better for her and Su You to stay as far away from him as possible.

“Be careful, Big Brother Di. We will be leaving now. I will concentrate on learning martial arts at the Swallow Capital University. If you ever need my help in the future, you know where to find me,” Su You said gratefully once again.

She had learned a lot ever since the night her parents had been killed. She didn’t overthink like her aunt. Di Jiu had saved her, so she had to repay the favor.

“Sure. Just pretend that you know nothing about your kidnapping and everything that happened here. Do not disclose these events to anyone,” Di Jiu advised her.

“We understand,” Su You replied.

Even if Di Jiu had not advised them, Su You would still have known that there was no point in telling anyone what had happened. She and her aunt had been mysteriously kidnapped, yet no one had even realized that they were gone.
