Chapter 216: Meeting Gift
The next morning, in the Capital, Xia Family Villa.
Early in the morning, Xia Angxuan felt exceptionally refreshed, filled with joy. He had finally succeeded in bringing Xia Bing back home. Now, he just had to wait until the day ended, and tomorrow he could officially be engaged to the Sun Family!
Once the Xia Family and the Sun Family became engaged, Xia Bing would be Sun Yi's fiancée, the Sun Family's daughter-in-law to be!
By that time, even the status of the Xia Family would be elevated, and his business would continue to grow!
Thinking of this, a trace of triumph flashed across Xia Angxuan's face. He couldn't help but think of Lu Yu, and a cold smile appeared on his face: "Boy, weren't you arrogant? I wonder how you plan to handle the twenty gunmen. I fear you are already lying in the morgue of the LA City Police Department, waiting for the coroner's autopsy!"
Reflecting on his arrangements, Xia Angxuan was filled with pride and confidence that Lu Yu couldn't survive the twenty gunmen, and he certainly couldn't pose a threat to him!
Those gunmen were specially hired through unique channels, leaving no trace. Even if caught, they wouldn't betray him!
With that thought, Xia Angxuan felt even more at ease.
"Master!"
Just as Xia Angxuan was lost in his sense of accomplishment, a man resembling a butler slowly approached him from behind and said, "There's a truck parked in the front yard..."
"Do you bother me over such trivial matters as a truck parked there? Find someone to drive it away!"
Hearing the butler's words, Xia Angxuan replied impatiently, filled with displeasure.
"But Master, there's a seal on the truck's compartment, and it says for you to open it personally, so we did not dare to handle it casually."
The butler answered respectfully.
"For me to open it?"
Upon hearing the butler's words, Xia Angxuan spoke, yet a sense of foreboding arose within him: "Where's the truck?"
"In the front yard!"
Hearing Xia Angxuan's inquiry, the butler replied.
"Take me to see it."
Responding to the butler, Xia Angxuan said, his tone heavy with gravity.
Having been in business for many years, Xia Angxuan was quite sensitive to certain matters. Thus, the sudden appearance of a large truck in the villa's front yard piqued his attention.
…
Arriving at the front yard of the villa, he saw a truck parked there, complete with a huge seal labeled: Open by Xia Angxuan!
White seal, black letters. Seeing this, Xia Angxuan felt a strange sensation rise within him.
The truck's compartment was tightly sealed, obscuring any of its contents from view externally, making Xia Angxuan increasingly apprehensive.
"Someone come!"
Seeing the truck before him, Xia Angxuan called out loudly.
"Master?"
Upon hearing him, two security personnel from the villa swiftly stepped forward, addressing him with utmost respect.
"Open this compartment for me!"
Xia Angxuan pointed to the compartment, his words weighed with gravity.
For some unknown reason, the compartment cast a highly oppressive feeling over him, as though a small hill was pressing down on his chest.
Hearing Xia Angxuan's command, the two security personnel exchanged glances, then approached the compartment door, nodding before exerting force to pop it open!
Buzz!
As the compartment was opened, a dense, metallic smell of blood hit them, potent enough to make one retch!
Smelling the scent, Xia Angxuan turned dreadfully pale, gagging several times before his eyes darted into the compartment.
Instantly, he was left utterly stupefied!
Inside the compartment lay a heap of twenty corpses!
The bodies were stacked like a small mountain before Xia Angxuan, the blood congealed into blackness alongside that overwhelming stench of iron!
The compartment now resembled a massacre site!
Twenty bodies stacked together—the scene was exceedingly gruesome, cruel, and terrifying!
Seeing this, Xia Angxuan stumbled back several paces, collapsing onto the ground, his face awash with horror!
"What happened? How could this be?"
Witnessing the scene before him, Xia Angxuan muttered to himself, his voice rife with terror.
He had sent twenty gunmen to kill Lu Yu, and now, before him lay twenty bodies, eerily complete with black handguns!
Undoubtedly, these were the very same gunmen he had deployed to assassinate Lu Yu!
Buzz!
While Xia Angxuan reeled in shock, his phone suddenly vibrated, causing him to shiver uncontrollably!
Staring at the unfamiliar number displayed on the phone's screen, Xia Angxuan swallowed nervously and mustered the courage to answer!
"Hello?"
Feigning composure, Xia Angxuan said, trying hard to stabilize his emotions, though finding it increasingly difficult.
"Uncle Xia, did you receive the gift I sent you?"
A familiar voice suddenly came through the phone.
Hearing this voice, Xia Angxuan's heart jolted as though a lightning bolt had struck, leaving him in shock.
For he recognized the voice's owner—it was Lu Yu!
"What, what do you want?"
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Xia Angxuan tremulously asked, his speech filled with fright.
"Xia Angxuan, your trickery of the ruse of repairing roads while taking a different route is splendid indeed."
Lu Yu, ignoring Xia Angxuan's question, spoke up: "First pretending to retreat, then sending someone to take Xia Bing, and finally dispatching twenty gunmen to kill me. Xia Angxuan, do you know?"
"If you intended to infuriate me, you've done so perfectly!"
Lu Yu's voice, ferocious and intense, came through the phone: "I can clearly tell you now, today's event is merely a greeting gift. I uphold the principle of reciprocation, and since you and the Sun Family ignored my warning, let me tell you: this isn't over!"
"I will let your Xia Family and the Sun Family understand the consequences of your actions!"
Lu Yu's voice over the phone was several times colder than ice!
