Chapter 497 Cold-Blooded Person

After walking through the corridor and passing by various artistic paintings, they finally arrived at Jiang Lintian’s bedroom.

Even after entering the bedroom, the decorations were still outrageously luxurious.

All kinds of art pieces were placed beside the grandiose bed. Every piece of furniture was inlaid with gold and gemstones of various colors.

However, it was the tiny cracks floating in the air that drew Lu Yu’s attention.

It was as if the space itself had been shattered. However, when Lu Yu looked through the cracks, he realized that he could not see anything but endless darkness.

“What are these things?”

Jiang Lintian stood in the middle of the room and looked at Lu Yu and the others. “This is the place we were just teleported to. We set up a stronghold here.”

“Is this thing important?” Lu Yu asked.

“Of course, it’s important. I’ve opened up a crack here, so the people in the other world can hear me and my signal on my side.”

Lu Yu glanced at the crack in the room again and asked, “How did you create these cracks?”

Jiang Lingtian clenched his fists, then opened them wide. “Explosion! This can only happen after many explosions.”

Lu Yu frowned slightly and continued to ask, “An explosion? Blow up what?”

“Of course, it’s the crystals, the Claine Crystals! This is part of our deal with the Truth Department,” Jiang Lintian said solemnly. “Do you understand?”

“It’s a crystal that I’ve never heard of. Have any of you heard of it?” Lu Yu looked at Xu Yuan and the others.

“No, I’ve never heard of this before.” Xu Yuan shrugged and shook his head.

“I’ve never seen it before, too. I didn’t see anything like it on my way here.” Yun Zirou and the others shook their heads.

“Don’t ask them. It’d be a miracle if they met one of these!”

“You might not know,” Jiang Lintian continued with a smile. “Let me tell you.”

“These crystals came from a cave in a mineral vein. That kind of cave is rare, and I doubt you can find it. However, the Truth Department found and occupied one of these caves.”

“So, that cave is where the headquarters of the Truth Department is?” Lu Yu asked.

“How is that possible? No one knows where their headquarters are, and the mineral vein mine is just one of their strongholds.”

“From what you’ve said, you seem to know much about this mine. Do you know where it is?”

Lu Yu asked.

Jiang Lintian shrugged and chuckled. “I can tell you. If you promise to let me go, I’ll tell you.”

Lu Yu pondered for a moment, then shook his head decisively. “I’m not going to let you go!”

“I know. That’s why I never planned to tell you.”

Lu Yu took a step forward and grabbed his neck. He asked coldly, “Are you really not going to tell me?”

“You don’t have the right to negotiate with me now!”

Jiang Lintian struggled for a while before quickly saying, “Brother, this is my first time coming to an ancient ruin. I’m unfamiliar with this place, so how could I know where the mine is?”

“I was just trying to trick you. I don’t know where the mine is either.”

Lu Yu let go of his hand, leaving Jiang Lintian gasping for air.

“I’m sorry, alright? Don’t strangle me; it’s suffocating!”

Lu Yu continued to ask, paying his complaints little attention.

“I’ll ask you again, do you know the general direction of the mine?”

He shook his head. “I don’t know. I really don’t know. Ask about something else since I barely know much about that.”

“One of my tasks is to receive the people from the Truth Department and connect them to my Chamber of Commerce headquarters. What they’re talking about is confidential, and I don’t know anything else!”

Lu Yu believed his words for the time being and knew it would be difficult for him to get anything out of Jiang Lintian. These people had done an excellent job of keeping it a secret.

“Contact your headquarters and tell them to stop the attack on the Han family!” Lu Yu continued to press on.

Jiang Lintian quickly picked up his phone. After connecting to the signal, he made a call.

“Don’t worry; I’ll contact them right away.”

The phone rang twice before it was picked up.

“Hey, quickly inform my dad. Tell him not to make a move on the Han family!”

The person on the other side was a little confused. He was the person in charge of connecting the ancient ruins and sending the information back to the headquarters.

“Young Master Jiang, why are you in such a hurry? Did you run into some trouble?”

“Just quickly inform my father to stop attacking the Han family. I made a mistake on that!”

Jiang Lintian said so in despair.

He begged the other party anxiously, and all he wanted in exchange was a quick death.

“Young Master, I’ve connected your father’s phone line. He just happened to have time to listen to you now.”

Hearing this, Jiang Lintian was elated.

“Is that so? That’s great. Let me talk to him.”

A rough voice came after a brief moment of calm.

“My precious son, how are you doing over there? Do you need me to send you some more supplies?”

“Dad!” Jiang Lintian cried out in grief.

After hearing this, the man’s tone instantly sank.

“Son, you’re in trouble, right?”

Lu Yu quickly came to Jiang Lintian’s side, grabbed his shoulder, and gave him a fierce look.

“It’s nothing. It’s nothing,” Jiang Lintian said in a panic.

“Don’t hide it. Your tone and voice are depressing, like those of a dying man.”

Lu Yu grabbed Jiang Lintian’s neck, and he quickly explained, “Dad, there’s no such thing… really…”

As he spoke, he sank deeper into his despair.

“Son, I’ve heard way too many people use this tone. Many dying people have come to me to ask for help, and they all have the same tone and voice. Don’t try to fool me.”

“Unfortunately, you’re far away, and I can’t save you. You will be dead soon, it seems.”

“Dad, you have to save me! I really don’t want to die!”

The man went silent for a moment before continuing, “I won’t stop the siege on the Han family. In less than three days, the Han group will be wiped off the face of the earth! That includes the president and his wife. They will all die!”

“Unless… during this period, I keep hearing my son’s voice. I might be able to delay it.”

“The person over there, did you hear that?”

Jiang Lintian turned on his phone’s speaker so that Lu Yu and the others could hear him.

“What should we do? Should we let him live?” Xu Yuan asked.

Han Xuefei also looked at Lu Yu with hopeful eyes. She hoped that Lu Yu would spare Jiang Lintian’s life. After all, if Jiang Lintian died, her parents would also die, and she didn’t doubt the strength of the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce.

Lu Yu turned around and glanced at Xu Yuan. “This old bastard is threatening me, and the thing I hate the most is being threatened!”

With that, Lu Yu exerted strength and clutched Jiang Lintian’s neck tightly.

Crack!

Lu Yu broke Jiang Lintian’s neck, and the huge pressure made his eyes pop out as blood flowed out of his face’s orifices. He didn’t even have the chance to scream.
