The Legacy System

Chapter 440 - 440: Plan And Torture



In just a single night, the power structures in Longgang City were shaken imperatively. The only remaining figures were Master Weng Hao and Master Gao Jixie.

Both of them were smart and powerful men who had their own faction, and people in all the important power structures in the city.

For that reason, they dared to actually apprehend three main figures of strength in the city. It was because they already had prepared their substitutes to take over.

Both Gao Jixie, and Weng Hao had used quite a bit of their wealth, and connections to take permission, and also the ability to create such a situation.

The involvement of the Cui family was a great surprise, but that could be attributed to the great and favorable rise that the Cui siblings were going to benefit if the deal went through.

Since they were thrown in such a place and were left here to fight for their selves, it was clear that some people didn't like them in the least.

Normally they wouldn't have bothered with the siblings, but lately, there were voices spreading through the family, that the Cui family should bring them back and reinstate their position.

It wasn't due to a sudden increase in love, or memory of their relations, but because many people wanted to profit from their possession of the potions formula.

It was no secret that with the help of the government and the military the deal would not only go through but also spread through the whole of Huaxia.

The earnings from the deal were only going to increase and increase. It was the same as having a golden goose that would make more eggs every day.

Those people couldn't and wouldn't allow the siblings to develop and rise again, as they were a continuous threat to them.

But they wouldn't jump headfirst in the abyss either, as they had made the preparations to blame everything on Gao Jixie, and Weng Hao should their plan not work out.

Why it may not work out?

Two simple buy vital reasons! First, it was impossible for them to keep Master Huo Tie, and the others caged for a long time, as the factions behind them would create a ruckus.

Second, their win depended on the fact whether they would be able to get their hands on the formulae of the potions.

Only like that would the people behind them support their actions. That was especially true for Master Weng Hao and Gao Jixie who were risking everything with this plan of theirs.

The accusation of Master Huo Tie and others for treason due to having the formulae were ingenious but that didn't mean that they wanted to destroy the formulae, they wanted to steal them.

Who would have thought that their first blunder would happen even before they were able to actually place their plan in action, as the main figures had disappeared from their sight?

Since the factory of production had yet to be activated the only people who had the formulae were the Cui siblings, or more specifically Cui Xie.

The capture of Master Huo Tie and the two others were only done in order to be used as bait or to torture them to accept the accusations for treason.

Each of the two reasons was quite improbable, but they had to block all the possible connections that Cui Xie had in this city and put him with his shoulders on the wall.

The idea was great, the actors were top stars, but unfortunately, the realization wasn't up to the standards as they had lost the main character.

"How did that bastard escape? How come there is no sign of him? Is this how you do your job cousin?"

Mayor Cui was righteously enraged at the loss of his cousin. Normally he would hate this psychopath and would want to kill him, as he was another candidate to be the head of family, but now was different.

He was a man that understood his priorities, and he knew that right now the most important thing was to find Cui Xie and his sister.

For that reason, even though he wanted to scream in rage, he could only ask those questions with gritted teeth.

"I don't know how the hell they got word of our plan, or that we were coming for them, but they were nowhere in the hospital.

I have already sent my men to completely seal the neighborhood and check, but we don't have any clues until now.

What happened to those three?"

"Check for yourself!"

The psycho Cui didn't say anything, as he just turned his attention to a big TV screen inside the room and increased the voice of the device.

The screen was divided into three parts, each of them showing a separate room for each of the apprehended figures of the city.

They were all resting tied up upon metal tables, butt naked, and being tortured by 5 people each. There was blood and other body fluids on the table and the floor.

Their faces were almost unrecognizable, and their bodies were covered in bruises, cuts, and blood, but still, they weren't giving leeway.

Master Huo Tie was an ex-soldier who had gone through even worse, and the other was the Director of Police with a large resume as well, but to think that even the Mayor wasn't talking made Mayor Cui extremely irritated.

At first, he hadn't thought of going this far, but whenever he remembered the fear in his heart when he heard Master Huo Tie's words, he grew colder and apathetic.

He wanted to make the man eat his own words, but no matter how far his underlings went, that guy seemed to not bend even for an instant.

The more he saw that happen, the more scared and apprehensive of the situation he became. Thinking like that, he couldn't help but say in an extremely heavy tone,

"Use whatever method and way that you see fit, tell those two and move whatever kind of force you need to move, just find me those two in 3 hours!"

The psycho Cui didn't like to be ordered like that, and would normally reject and refuse, but even he understood that right now wasn't the time for something like that to happen.

Leaving the residence that served as their movable center, the psycho Cui immediately called Master Weng Hao, and Gao Jixie in order to tell them to turn the city upside down to find the Cui siblings.

"It's time for you people to become useful, find the location of the two of them! Otherwise, you are going to regret everything!"

The two old foxes were clearly dissatisfied with the way they were being directed, as that psycho was treating them like servants but there was nothing they could do.

As long as they managed things well, they would become the kings of Longgang City, as it was impossible for the Cui family kids to stay back here.

They would better prefer to be the kings of a small pond than officials in a big lake. Once the disturbances were gone, Longgang City would belong to the two of them.

For that reason, they would do whatever they could to make sure that the disturbances left the city as soon as possible, as they started calling and ordering their people as well.

In a matter of minutes, the normally calm and peaceful night of the city had turned into a ruckus of sounds, lights, and clashes.

It was only after a detailed search of more than 2 hours, that the police finally found the location of the siblings, into a safe house in the city, and apprehended them.

Once that happened, police started screaming for people to return home and not cause problems, but it was clearly impossible.

Especially with Cui Xie's underworld people fawning flames as soon as the police thought that they were put off.

But while Longgang City was amidst fires and clashes, the people responsible for all of this couldn't be happier that they had actually caught their targets.

The police didn't even accompany the siblings to the station, as they were immediately being sent to the hands of the Cui people in order to get tortured and used.

In the meantime, police and the public security bureau had even sealed off all the ways of information from the City to the outside.

They had only 72 hours at best, and they had to use those hours at maximum. The poor Cui siblings were in for a tough ride.

In the meantime, the second police car that was accompanying Cui La was riding in a road that should have been fully lighted but was in fact completely dark.

The cops inside didn't know whether someone had destroyed the lights, or there was some energy loss occurring, but they still decided to speed up ahead.

For some reason, they felt chills running through their hearts, as the driver wanted to drive even faster.

The problem was that even though he pressed the gas pedal to the end, the car didn't seem to be going faster, but actually going slower.

That shocked not only the driver but even the other cops inside the car. It was only at that moment that the signal of an empty tank started sounding and lighting inside the car.

The driver couldn't believe his shitty luck, normally the car's tank should be full, and yet the car had left them on the road!

"Why didn't you fill the tank before we took off idiot!?"

"I did, I filled it to the brim! I even filled the extra! There is something wrong with this damn car! Wait here I am going to check outside!"

With that, he opened the front cover and got out of the car!
