Secret Base.

Lu Jingye looked up from the laptop screen, grabbed his phone and dialed a number with a cold expression on his face.

As soon as the other party answered his call, he said, “Let Zi Xu and the Qin Family meet. Bring him away after the meeting… and send him to an obscure country. Let him stay there for the rest of his life.”

After hanging up the call, Lu Jingye made another call.

The other party answered and he said, “Let’s make a deal. What do you think?”

“What kind of a deal?”

Lu Jingye answered, “You’ll play, and I’ll be the ringmaster.”

“Who do you want to deal with?”

Lu Jingye said, “The Qin and He Family.”

“The Qin and He Family in the capital?”

Lu Jingye replied, “That’s right.”

The other party pondered over it for two seconds and then agreed. “I want 70% of the bounty.”

Lu Jingye didn’t hesitate. “Ok.”

In the next two days, many influential figures detected something brewing, and all of them found themselves in danger.

During such a situation, the Qin Family and He Family’s businesses had suffered and dropped to an unprecedented level. All of the smaller shareholders scrambled to sell their shares away and various partners came knocking on their doors to terminate the projects.

The Qin Family and He Family fell into a panic.

At the same time, they all knew that Lu Jingye was behind this.

The Qin Family tried contacting Zi Xu on a more frequent basis and wanted to meet with him.

Zi Xu’s whereabouts had been tightly kept watch of these days. During one of the days, he headed to his company and pretended to make a trip to the washroom when he arrived at the office. He then made use of the chance to ditch Lu Jingye’s bodyguards and went to the location he had arranged to meet the Qin Family.

For the past few days, Zi Xu could not shake off the bodyguards Lu Jingye had sent over to watch him, and he had accumulated bucketfuls of anger. Therefore, he was even more determined to marry Zi Yi into the Qin Family. In that case, he would be able to get them to deal with Lu Jingye.

“I’ve already bought the household register with me. As long as you can take care of Lu Jingye, I’ll immediately let Yiyi sign her marriage certificate with Young Master Qin.”

The person the Qin Family had sent over was also rather straightforward. “Okay. We’ve already devised a plan and we guarantee that he will never dare to appear before you and Miss Zi again in the future.”

The Qin Family then explained their plan to him.

Their plan was extremely devious, and they had basically planned to force Lu Jingye to his end.

Zi Xu was satisfied after hearing their plans and immediately agreed to register the marriage certificate.

The Qin Family immediately brought him to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

However, when Zi Xu passed the household registration book to the clerk, and the clerk entered the information into the computer, he informed them: “Zi Yi’s name has been transferred out several months ago and all the information on this household register is invalid.”

“How can that be?!” Zi Xu raised his voice in shock. “She’s my daughter and without my approval, how could she possibly have transferred her name out?”

The people on the Qin Family’s side had dark expressions on their faces and they immediately ordered the clerk. “Even if her name has been transferred out, you still have to register our Young Master’s and Zi Yi’s marriage certificate today!”

The clerk’s complexion paled and he nervously said, “This is illegal.”

“Do you think the law can stop whatever the Qin Family plans to do?”

When the clerk knew what they were here to do today, he appeared respectful on the surface but in fact, he felt disdain towards them deep down inside.

Obviously, it was a scene of selling one’s daughter for money and fame.

Hearing what the people from the Qin Family said, he wished that he could expose them immediately, but he did not have the guts to do so. In the end, he hastily said, “How about this? I’ll go and get my supervisor.”

He immediately stood up and went to get his supervisor.

When the supervisor saw the Qin Family, he first shook hands with them enthusiastically before he started bootlicking them. “My employees here are not sensible, please hold on a moment. I’ll get him to process it right away.”

He then hastily motioned to the clerk. “Hurry and do what the Qin Family requests!”

“But…”

“Get it done now.”

Under his supervisor’s stare, the clerk could only quickly search and find where Zi Yi’s name was registered under.

However, his eyes widened his fright after he got the results.

The clerk shouted in a loud voice, “Supervisor! Miss Zi, and Young Master Qin cannot register for a marriage certificate!”

“What nonsense are you spouting!” The supervisor stood behind him and stretched his neck to take a look.

When he saw where Zi Yi’s name was registered under, he had also widened his eyes in shock.

Zi Xu and the Qin Family looked at them inexplicably.

The Qin Family’s side was a little annoyed and their tone of voice sounded threatening. “What’s going on? Why can’t you get something so simple done? If you don’t have the ability, shouldn’t you be on your way out?”

The supervisor looked up at the Qin Family and said in a weird tone, “Miss Zi’s name is registered under Second Young Master Lu’s household register. Moreover, she has already gotten a marriage certificate with him.”

“What?!”

Zi Xu and the Qin Family raised their voices at the same time.

“It’s the truth.”

The supervisor shifted the screen to them and said, “You can take a look if you don’t believe me.”

When Zi Xu and the Qin Family saw what was displayed on the screen, their expressions turned ashen at the same time.

It was not known how Zi Xu walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, especially when he thought of what the Qin Family said to him before they left.

Now that Zi Yi and Lu Jingye have gotten married, the entire Zi Family will suffer together with him and he can just wait to experience a life where he has to constantly be dodging bullets for as long as he lived!

It was simply like lightning striking down from the skies.

Just then, two people walked over from the side.

“Mr. Zi.”

Zi Xu suddenly recovered his senses after hearing his name. He looked at the two individuals and instinctively wanted to run away.

Yet, a cloth that was mixed with chloroform was held over his mouth and nose.

He swiftly lost consciousness.

By the time Zi Xu regained consciousness, he was in a wooden room on top of a bed and the space seemed to be swaying left and right.

He suddenly got down from the bed in utter shock and ran towards the door.

When he came out of the room, he was met with a dimly lit aisle.

Both sides were doors that led to other rooms.

He quickly ran towards the end of the corridor.

When he arrived at the end and opened the door before him, it turned out to be a door to a ladder. He quickly climbed up and when he saw the scenery of a vast sea in front of him, he was dumbfounded.

Just then, a burly man, who had his muscular arms exposed, walked over.

Zi Xu hastily stopped him and asked incoherently, “Where’s your captain? Where is this ship headed to? Immediately get your captain to turn back the ship, I want to alight. Otherwise, I’ll sue you for abduction!”

The burly man looked at him with an expression of disdain. He crossed his arms and said, “Sue? Hahaha… this is a boat headed to Mauritania. Instead of thinking how to sue the captain, I’d advise you to think how you are going to survive when you reach there.”

He turned to leave after saying that.

Zi Xu’s mind was in a daze as he heard what the man said and he became anxious. “What do you mean by that?”

“What do I mean?” The burly man explained to him in a ‘kindhearted’ manner. “Those on this boat are all unregistered residents and they are headed to the mines. They can only stay there for the rest of their lives.”

Zi Xu felt like an entire ocean was crashing down on him.

“How is that possible?!”

Zi Xu’s body went soft and he fell to the ground.

The burly man looked at him and snorted. He seemed to have suddenly thought of something and took out a crumpled piece of paper from his trousers and threw it at him.

“The man who sent you onboard asked me to give this to you and that you had better take a look at it, or else you will regret it.”

He left after saying that.

Zi Xu thought that the piece of paper was something that could save his life and so he rushed to pick it up.

However, what he saw was irrefutable evidence that Zi Xuan was his brother’s child. Moreover, the reason for his later infertility was that Li Peirong had fed him drugs that caused him to be permanently infertile.

Zi Xu’s eyes rolled up. He could not bear the blow and he spat out a mouthful of blood before he fainted.
