Chapter 541: Unexpected News, Setting Sail Soon!

Vulture Master had just woken up when he found himself lying in a hospital, but this realization actually terrified him.

Because directly in front of him, rows upon rows of refrigerated cabinets were starkly lined up.

“This… this is a morgue?”

“Are the Wanlong Society people planning to give me the full-service treatment and send me off for good?”

“That’s just too much!”

Once it dawned on him, Vulture Master jolted upright, scrambled to his feet, and stumbled toward the door, shouting, “Help!”

“Help! Let me out! I’m still alive! I’m not dead!”

“……..”

Just as he was on the verge of collapse, the iron door suddenly creaked open from the outside.

Standing in the doorway were several men wearing Wanlong Society’s signature black suits.

The leader was a fat man, and behind him followed an exceptionally towering giant—both of whom Vulture Master recognized. They were the ones who had given him his first real beating and even shaved his head clean.

“Vulture Master, awake? I thought you were too comfortable to wake up. If you really couldn’t wake, there’s a spot here with your name on it.”

Vulture Master: “You wouldn’t dare! In broad daylight, if you actually kill me, you’ll surely……..”

Ma Da: “Oh-ho, threatening me?”

“Brother Ma hasn’t stretched his muscles in ages. Grab him and put the vest on!”

The moment the words left his mouth, several black-suited men sprang into action.

Two of them seized Vulture Master, one on each side, while another produced a specially-made Wanlong Society padded vest and slipped it over him.

“Argh… Ma Da… you dare! Your Wanlong Society is lawless, you’ll get what’s coming to you someday….”

“Hiyah!”

“You actually dare…… Ma Da, do you believe that I’ll……”

“Hiyah!”

“Stop! All of you, stop! I know Director Wang….”

“Hiyah!”

“I have ties with Chief Huang, he won’t let you get away with this if you beat me….”

“Hiyah!”

A few minutes later, Vulture Master suddenly sensed something was off.

“Huh…. why can I still take this?”

Clearly Ma Da was putting plenty of force behind his blows, and he definitely felt pain, but it remained within tolerable limits.

Ma Da had thrown dozens of punches in a row and was breaking a sweat. Seeing that Vulture Master not only failed to beg for mercy but actually seemed to be growing more energetic, he felt deeply insulted.

“Which factory made this vest? The quality is garbage! I want a refund! A full refund!”

The Wanlong Society members exchanged glances, their eyes involuntarily drifting toward Ma Da’s round belly as they thought, “Could it be that Brother Ma just doesn’t have enough strength?”

Of course, none dared say this aloud. Instead, they simply assured him they would have the factory custom-make a vest that would allow Brother Ma to feel the satisfaction he sought.

Vulture Master nearly couldn’t hold it in and burst out laughing.

He finally understood—the problem wasn’t the vest, it was that this fatty was too weak.

When Ma Da saw that Vulture Master actually dared to laugh at him, he completely lost it and turned directly to the giant behind him. “Ji Yu, you do it.”

Ji Yu immediately stepped before Vulture Master and raised a single fist.

Vulture Master stared at that fist, larger than his own head, and the smile froze on his face as cold sweat instantly broke out.

“No, no, no, this will kill someone!”

“Brother! It really will kill someone!”

“I was wrong! I was wrong!”

“I’ll tell you everything, I really will……”

“Argh!”

“………”

To save his sorry life, Vulture Master spilled his guts, revealing every single one of his dirty little secrets.

Because with just ten percent of his strength, Ji Yu had sent him flying several meters, crashing heavily into a refrigerated cabinet. Right beside him, he saw an opened cabinet door and nearly vomited, his psychological defenses crumbling in an instant.

As Ma Da listened, he gestured for the black-suited man in charge of recording to write everything down quickly.

Half an hour later.

“Anything else?”

“That should be everything?”

“Think carefully. If you can’t think of anything, you’ll sleep here tonight. This place certainly isn’t lacking beds.”

“No! Please no!”

Vulture Master didn’t want to spend another second in this place. The corpse he’d just seen was mangled beyond recognition—utterly horrifying.

So he racked his brain for any wrongdoing he might have forgotten, and sure enough, he thought of one.

“There’s… there’s one more. About nine or ten years ago, a man came from Pearl City. I think he’d killed someone. He paid a hefty sum to use my old sea route and shipped out overnight, heading… heading to the Western Continent.”

“What did you say?!”

Suddenly!

A woman with her arm wrapped in bandages burst through the door—it was Gao Min.

“What was that man’s name? What did he look like?!”

Vulture Master was startled by Gao Min’s reaction, but he answered honestly: “That… that man had a scar on his face, looked quite fierce. He paid a lot of money and demanded immediate departure. I arranged for him to board a fishing boat and transfer ships on the high seas….”

“Exact time, location, who was your contact? Speak!” Gao Min demanded, her emotions spiraling. “Tell me now!!!”

Seeing her lose control, Ma Da quickly stepped forward to restrain her. “Officer Gao, calm down. You need to ask questions slowly, can’t rush these things.”

Then he spun around and punched Vulture Master: “Hiyah!”

“Spit it out! Stop stalling, tell Officer Gao who it was! Speak!”

“Still not talking?! Ji Yu, teach him some manners!”

Vulture Master: “???”

Wait, it’s been so many years, can’t you at least let me think?

“Hey, hey….. I’m thinking, I’m thinking….. Argh! You animals!!!”

“……..”

………….

In the VIP ward.

Liu Yutong entered slowly, holding a cup of warm milk.

Gao Min sat in a chair by the window, gazing at the nightscape of South City, her eyes somewhat hollow.

“Sister, have some milk. Warm yourself up.”

Liu Yutong set the milk on the table before Gao Min, then pulled over another chair and sat beside her.

Gao Min turned to look at her. “Yutong, am I useless?”

Liu Yutong grasped Gao Min’s hand. “Sister, don’t ever say that. Sooner or later, you’ll personally arrest that murderer.”

She had rushed straight to the hospital after settling Yaya, having learned from Ma Da about the unexpected news—Vulture Master might know something about Gao Min’s father.

Unfortunately, the outcome wasn’t ideal. The suspect had fled overseas, and finding someone abroad wouldn’t be easy.

She was even somewhat speechless. Why did all their enemies seem to run overseas? Was the foreign moon really that much brighter? Even the two main culprits who’d nearly killed her sister had fled abroad.

What they didn’t realize was that from those people’s perspective, at least you could see the moon abroad, while here you could only see darkness……..

It seemed that going abroad was inevitable.

Gao Min: “But it’s been nearly ten years. A vast ocean of people, and he’s abroad. If he’s in a country without an extradition treaty, I won’t be able to touch him….

Liu Yutong comforted her: “Sister, don’t worry. As long as he’s still alive, as long as he’s somewhere on this planet, we’ll root him out!”

Gao Min looked at this younger sister who was already a major boss in her own right, and her heart filled with conflicting emotions.

She knew Liu Yutong rarely made empty promises—whatever her sister set out to do, she accomplished.

Though she felt some shame that she needed her younger sister’s help to catch a criminal, she was deeply moved.

“Yutong, thank you.”

“If not for you, I might never have caught my father’s killer.”

“Let’s not talk like that between us.”

Liu Yutong: “You’re my sister. Your business is my business. And I’ll push this forward as quickly as possible. It won’t be long before Wanlong Society sets sail!”

Outside the window, the rain had gradually stopped at some point.

A faint light shimmered on the eastern horizon,预示着 this long night was finally coming to an end.

Gao Min softly murmured her agreement and rested her head on Liu Yutong’s shoulder, feeling a long-lost sense of peace and warmth.

Perhaps catching the killer would still take time, but at least she was no longer alone.

She also firmly believed that the truth would eventually come to light.

Because she had a sister whose means knew no bounds……..
