Chapter 193 Scheme within a Scheme (Part Two)

Chu Yuxuan did not immediately extract the listening device. With the current signal interference, the opponents couldn't hear anything, and the device would prove useful later.

Yao Liang furrowed his brows, unable to comprehend: "How did you know that the Tianji Club would ambush you here?"

Chu Yuxuan glanced out the car window, noting that his brothers had completely controlled the situation. Turning to Yao Liang, he said, "It takes an hour to reach Liu Jun's house from the Emerald Lake. Why do you think they took over two hours to call me back saying they were ready? Heh... Later, you can ask Old Five. It's all thanks to his black technology."

In fact, Chu Yuxuan's brothers, along with the bodyguards sent by Chu Zhiqing, had arrived at Liu Jun's house earlier. On the way, they discovered they were being surveilled by drones. They remained calm, and upon reaching Liu Jun's house, they stealthily commandeered a neighbor's agricultural vehicle and returned the same way, sending drones high into the air to locate the Tianji Club's assassins.

The drones used by the foreign hacker were military-grade, and they stealthily pinpointed the assassins' ambush location. This allowed Chu Yuxuan to be informed that preparations were complete.

When Chu Yuxuan heard these words, he understood that Old Six was indeed problematic. "Seeing how you were forced earlier, were your family members really kidnapped?" Chu Yuxuan asked.

Yao Liang bit his lip and closed his eyes in despair, shaking his head. "No, when I joined the Tianji Club, I sent my parents to Malaysia. My mother is originally from Malaysia..."

Hearing "Malaysia," Chu Yuxuan's eyes suddenly brightened. He cleared his throat and asked Yao Liang nonchalantly, "So why did you still seem reluctant and unwilling to act against me? Shouldn't you be happy that I fell into your trap? Or did you fall in love with me?"

Yao Liang found it hard to speak, and after a moment of silence, he said, "My... my brother is also with the Tianji Club. If I betray them, they will kill him... Actually, I am the vulture!"

Chu Yuxuan was shocked. "You are the vulture?"

Yao Liang nodded, looking distressed. "When the Tianji Club recruited me, they said they had an important mission for me, to train a group of assassins. But they were very cautious, fearing police or enemy spies infiltrating, so they made me pretend to be a rookie and blend in with their recruited assassins. The vulture was just a stand-in, and even if captured, he would be of no value."

Chu Yuxuan pursed his lips, contemplating Yao Liang's words while scrutinizing him with a sharp gaze.

"To be honest, I really wanted to follow you. I envy the brotherhood you have," Yao Liang said with a wry smile. "Since joining the Tianji Club, I've realized they are ruthless and inhumane. Gradually, I didn't want to work for them anymore, but… I couldn't withdraw. They would kill me to silence me! I truly regret it. I was blinded by money and even called my brother back from abroad. I thought being an assassin domestically would be better than being a mercenary abroad. Sigh..."

Chu Yuxuan tapped his lips thoughtfully. "Your candor is quite unsettling."

"I underestimated you before, Chu Yuxuan. You're far more formidable than I imagined!" Yao Liang said with difficulty. "I want to make a deal with you!"

Chu Yuxuan glanced outside the window, where Old Four had already begun torturing the remaining captives.

"Let's hear it," Chu Yuxuan said.

Yao Liang also looked outside. "There's no need to waste time on them. What they know is far less than what I know. The person who planned tonight's operation is the same one who called you from the factory, code-named White Crane. I don't know his real name, but I know where he is! My brother works under him."

Chu Yuxuan raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"

"I don't know why you are so determined to dig into the Tianji Club, but I'm doing it for my brother," Yao Liang said. "I can take you to find White Crane. You have to promise me that you'll let me and my brother go!"

"Why should I trust you?" Chu Yuxuan teased, pointing to the remaining captives outside. "They'll break down eventually. Take me to find White Crane."

Yao Liang glanced at the wound on his shoulder and said, "I have a listening device in my body. If they don't hear from me for too long, they will realize something is wrong... Chu Yuxuan, you have no choice, and neither do I. Anyway, our goals are the same, so..."

Before he could finish, Chu Yuxuan punched him in the face. "Are you threatening me?"

"You'd better trust me!" Yao Liang said, covering his face and looking firmly at Chu Yuxuan. "Don't delay. If they can't reach us for too long, it will alarm White Crane!"

Chu Yuxuan stared into his eyes. After a moment, he suddenly smiled and spoke into the earpiece, "Have you found anything yet?"

Old Five immediately responded, "He's having his subordinates investigate. He told me to wait for a reply. D*mn… I'll have to teach this old friend from Kuala Lumpur a lesson later. He was a bit reluctant earlier."

The car fell silent, and Old Five's words were clearly heard by Yao Liang.

He had inadvertently mentioned his parents being in Malaysia, and the foreign hacker began to investigate? But... Malaysia is so large, how could he possibly find them? Moreover, Chu Yuxuan didn't know his parents' personal information! It was probably just a scare tactic.

Chu Yuxuan remained calm. "What a coincidence. I have an old friend at the Kuala Lumpur police headquarters. A few years ago, his son got into trouble in Mexico, and I was the one who rescued him... He seems to hold a high position. I believe with their system, he can quickly find your parents' residence."

As soon as Chu Yuxuan finished speaking, Old Five's voice came through the earpiece, clearly stating Yao Liang's parents' names and accurately providing their address. He added, "D*mn, I wondered why Old Two couldn't find any information about his parents domestically..."

Yao Liang's eyes widened in terror. "Who... who are you?!"

Chu Yuxuan smirked. "Don't be nervous. I'm not exactly a good person myself!"
