Chapter 1159: A Terrifying Man
But those Hidden Guards were like shadows, following him everywhere. Just when he thought he could catch his breath, he had to find another hiding place.
"That night, I boarded a merchant ship."
With no other option, he rented a car to the dock, intending to take a ship to another city and then decide his next move.
He remembered, there was a huge merchant ship parked at the port, and seeing the foreign emblem on it, he thought the heavens were still kind to him. He took part of the tens of thousands in cash he had, and just as the Hidden Guards were about to catch up, he left with the ship.
But not long after the ship set sail, Beichen Li realized something was wrong.
The interior of the ship was far larger than a merchant ship should be, and everyone was armed. Such a ship being able to dock in Hua Country meant its owner must have an extraordinary identity.
But there was no turning back now, so he had no choice but to brazenly stay aboard.
A few hours later, someone came to take him to a place. His eyes were covered, so he didn’t know exactly where he was, only that when the blindfold was removed, a man was sitting in a high position not far ahead.
The man looked to be in his late twenties, his features obscured by shadows but exuding a chilling aura that, even now when he thought about it, sent shivers down his spine.
"Do you know the price you must pay for boarding my ship?"
The man held something in his hand, and upon careful inspection, it turned out to be a pitch-black gun, the barrel facing right in his direction.
His heart raced with panic, and he hurriedly spoke, "Of course, when I boarded, I brought two boxes with some cash inside. Please kindly accept them."
The man in the high seat sneered coldly, "With that measly amount? Do you think you’re giving alms to beggars? Who are you? Why is someone chasing you?"
Seeing him ask this, Beichen Li quickly responded, "I, I am Beichen Li..."
Before he could finish, the man coldly interrupted, "A member of the Beichen Family?"
For some reason, after he said that, Beichen Li felt an even colder aura, sending chills down his spine. It was the first time he had seen someone his age exude such presence.
He was a terrifying man!
"What crime have you committed?"
Beichen Li swallowed, stuttering, "I was dissatisfied with my cousin’s position as head of the family, so I ran off with an entire project’s funds."
"Beichen Rui?"
Just as he was about to ask how the man knew, a gunshot rang out before he could finish, and he could feel the bullet graze past his ear. Startled, he nearly lost his balance and fell to the ground.
The man suddenly stood up, revealing his features to Beichen Li’s eyes.
Exquisite facial contours, a prominent nose, and a full forehead exposed in the air - he was a remarkably handsome man.
Yet his aura was terrifying.
For some reason, Beichen Li found his features somewhat familiar...
Ling Haoyu glanced at him indifferently, picked up the gun in his hand, and gestured with the barrel in Beichen Li’s direction, scaring him out of his wits, fearing he would provoke displeasure and get shot.
"Sir, I don’t know your name, but if you think it’s too little, the Beichen Family has money. You can go find them. I just wanted to catch a ride, is it not too much to ask?"
"Are you courting death?"
Let him run to the Beichen Family to ask for money?
