Chapter 1274 - Salvation
Chapter 1274 – Salvation
"In a good mood?" Jin Liwei asked when he picked up his wife from Eve Holdings.
She nodded but didn't elaborate. He didn't mind. As long as she was happy, he was pleased. There was no need for her to tell every single thing to him. He trusted her. If she wanted to tell him, then he would listen.
After reaching Dragon Palace Home #10, they switched vehicles. This time, they left their own security staff and took only those from Shadow Winds.
"Are you sure that you want to come?" Jin Liwei asked for the twentieth time.
"Of course." Iris' tone was certain. "Don't worry too much. I'll be fine."
His expression didn't ease even after she patted his cheek. He tried persuading her to return and stay at home again but to no avail. When he sensed that she was getting annoyed, he could only stop. He didn't want to destroy her original good mood. It wasn't good for her health and that of their babies.
Thanks to Ketchup's excellent navigation assistance, they avoided the congested traffic and arrived at their destination faster than expected. The old, abandoned industrial zone was eerie even during daytime.
The huge gates opened to let them in. Armed guards with cold, emotionless eyes appeared and watched their vehicles make their way inside the compound.
Jin Liwei had already been here before so he was no longer that affected by the dangerous atmosphere in the place.
Iris didn't bat an eye either. To her, this was child's play compared to how the Vetrov organization operated in her past life. Nevertheless, she personally still didn't like places like this. It was impossible to completely avoid Shadow Winds though because it was her older brother's group and her AI son worked in it as well.
Lu Zihao was waiting for them at the renovated old warehouse's main entrance which now served as Shadow Winds' headquarters. Like Jin Liwei, Iris could sense that he disapproved of her presence today.
"I'm not leaving," she said as soon as she stepped out of the vehicle.
"Hard-headed girl," Lu Zihao muttered but didn't bother objecting to her presence anymore.
"Hi, Boss Drakon!"
A couple members of ShaWn accompanied Lu Zihao to welcome them.
Iris nodded at them. "Hello. Good to see you again."
"Follow me," Lu Zihao said before his subordinates could waste any more time fangirling and fanboying on his sister.
Jin Liwei held his wife's hand as they followed his brother-in-law inside.
Later, they arrived at a heavily guarded area. It was a surveillance room dedicated to monitoring the holding cells.
The leader and key members of ShaWn were present as was Bacon whose black, fluffy tail immediately rotated like helicopter blades upon seeing his parents in one of the computer monitors.
A teenage-looking man was in charge of the holding cells. Jin Liwei had met him before when he came at the headquarters to beat up Jin Chenggong.
Iris sat on a comfy couch which looked out of place among the other basic furniture in the room. Lu Zihao had it added for the comfort of his pregnant sister after learning from Jin Liwei that she insisted on coming today. His subordinates even prepared a rather impressive variety of drinks and snacks for her.
She observed the live images being shown on the surveillance monitors.
"Is that Jin Chenggong?" she asked while gesturing at an emaciated, white-haired old man.
"Yes, Boss Drakon," the teenage-looking man replied because he was the one in charge of the prisoners.
Although he wasn't part of ShaWn, he followed their way of addressing their big boss' sister and called her Boss Drakon as well. It was enough for him to know that his comrades from the hacker team respected her, not to mention that their Boss Hao treasured her like his real blood sister even though they weren't biologically-related.
Iris sighed. As soon as she met the teenage-looking man, she already knew that he was dangerous despite his deceptively innocent appearance. Just based on Jin Chenggong's huge change in appearance, she deduced that the teenage-looking man was an expert in torture.
With the help of the newly configured Bacon, ShaWn was able to locate some clues about the mysterious group behind the Youngs. Their findings were not that substantial as of yet but it was better than nothing.
Lu Zihao sneered at the emaciated Jin Chenggong. He would never forget the old bastard's sins against his sister.
Raping and kidnapping Iris and even wanting to have her impregnated with a rapist's child were unforgivable.
Granted, these plans never had the chance to be carried out but just the fact that they were thought up in the first place was already enough for both Jin Liwei and Lu Zihao to throw away any possibility of a lighter punishment for Jin Chenggong.
Watching her husband and older brother's vicious expressions, Iris knew that their minds were already set. She let them be. She didn't have any intentions of letting off Jin Chenggong either. The men would take care of him according to their original plans.
Her eyes moved to three other holdings cells. There was Jenny Tseng (Rose Young's best friend), Luke (Rose Young's maternal cousin), and another guy (Luke's friend).
She came for them today. After eating a chocolate bonbon, she stood up.
"Love, do you really need to do this?" Jin Liwei asked, his tone filled with worry.
"I want to."
He sighed. "I'll come with you."
Lu Zihao also moved to follow them.
After receiving Boss Hao's nod, the teenage-looking man led the trio to one of the holding cells.
Later, a blank-faced Jenny Tseng flinched and cowered upon hearing the door open. She curled on her hard, metal bed with her arms covering her head, making herself as small as possible. Her whole body trembled and waited for the day's torture.
She could hear footsteps nearing her, making her shake even harder.
"Jenny Tseng," a soft, female voice said, sounding very out of place.
Surprised and confused, she peeked and saw a familiar figure looking down on her. She didn't even notice the other two male figures flanking the person.
It was as if Jenny Tseng saw her salvation.. She threw herself to the floor and hugged the female's legs and started wailing.
