Chapter 76

"What?" Ma Guojin was also greatly shocked. "Guolun, could there be a mistake?"

"New... New York police notified us to come and identify the body, saying they found Zhi'er's passport at the scene!" After saying this, Ma Guolun collapsed onto the sofa.

Ma Guojin swayed, his vision went black, and he fell to the ground.

At that moment, a woman in her twenties, dressed fashionably and with a beautiful face, came down the stairs. Seeing the situation, she quickly rushed over and supported Ma Guojin. "Daddy, what's wrong?"

With the woman's help, Ma Guojin sat on the sofa, weakly and mournfully said, "Rui'er, your cousin is gone!"

Rui'er was puzzled. "Cousin just went to America, it's not like it's a life-and-death situation. Why are you so upset, Daddy?"

Ma Guolun interjected, "Rui'er, Huazhi is dead, he was sniped!"

"How could this be!?" Rui'er found it hard to believe. "Although assassinations happen from time to time around the world, it's his first time in the United States. Who could he have offended to be assassinated?"

This reminded the Ma brothers. They exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Could this be...?"

"What is it?" Rui'er asked.

The Ma brothers did not answer her. Ma Guolun, with a fierce look, stood up and said, "Brother, I'm going to find him!"

"Guolun, come back!" Ma Guojin called out.

But Ma Guolun, who had lost his son, was in deep sorrow and anger, and did not listen. He stormed out, slamming the door.

After breakfast, Ferren, who had already practiced the Wu Sha Xuanjin Qi to the peak of the second level, was planning to go to the Kowloon antique market to see if he could find another blood-colored amber. Unexpectedly, Old Li called to invite him to play golf.

Respecting the elder and being close to Old Li, Ferren agreed and then drove to the golf club in Deep Water Bay.

When Ferren arrived at the entrance of the club, Old Li and Zhuang Yuehua arrived almost simultaneously. After a few pleasantries, they entered the club accompanied by Li's entourage.

Ferren's golf club membership card was arranged by Old Li at the beginning of the year, but he had never used it. Today, he finally got to show off. Since it was his first time using the membership card, the club immediately arranged two caddies to carry his bag and a female coach to explain some golfing tips.

Li Chaoren, seeing this, said with a smile, "Younger brother, I and Yuehua are busy, so we rarely come to the club. Why don't you come more often with your membership card?"

Ferren rubbed his nose and said, "I'm here now, but why did you think of inviting me to play golf, Uncle Li?"

"Yesterday, the second brother mentioned it to me before going to the mainland, so I came to keep you company!" Li Chaoren smiled. "It's also a good chance to relax!"

Seeing Old Li and Ferren chatting casually, everyone around was surprised.

After that, the group sat down at the shaded area by the first hole. Ferren casually asked, "Aunt Zhuang, how is your company's transformation going?"

"We are doing market research and overall planning!" Zhuang Yuehua smiled. "I have to thank you, Alan, for your good advice!"

"Where's the talk, Aunt Zhuang!" Ferren waved his hand and said, "The key is to build a brand and reputation!" As he spoke, he walked to the tee of the first hole, took a wooden club from the caddy, and casually swung to tee off, landing the ball on the green in one shot.

"Beautiful!" Old Li, looking through his binoculars, couldn't help but cheer. The group, having just sat down, stood up again to head to the green.

On the green, Ferren glanced at the white ball, which was less than ten yards from the hole, and said modestly, "Aunt Zhuang, why don't you take this shot?"

Zhuang Yuehua shook her head. "I'm just here to accompany Old Li for some fresh air, I'm not playing!"

Li Chaoren, with a thick skin, laughed, "Looks like this ball is meant for me!" He used a putter to hit the ball, thinking it would surely go in, but the white ball grazed the hole and stopped less than three yards away.

Ferren's lips curled slightly, and he easily put the ball in the hole, smiling and shaking his head, "Better to be lucky than good!"

Old Li also laughed, picked up a wooden club, and casually teed off the second ball. The group walked and stopped, chatting about topics of interest, and before they knew it, they were at the fifth hole.

At this moment, a golf cart caught up from behind, and on it were the Ma brothers and Rui'er. It turned out that Ma Guojin, worried about Ma Guolun going alone to find Ferren, had brought his daughter along, also wanting to let Rui'er meet this great enemy of the Ma family.

Li Chaoren, seeing the Ma brothers' fierce expressions, frowned and greeted them, "Oh, Brother Guojin, you're also here to play golf?"

Ma Guojin was about to speak, but Ma Guolun cut in, "Brother Ren, today my brother and I have something important to discuss with Sir Ferren. Could you and Sister Hua please step aside for a moment?"

Old Li frowned slightly, looked at Ferren, and seeing his nonchalant, half-smiling expression, said, "Younger brother Ferren, I'll wait for you at the next hole!"

Ferren nodded slightly, and Li Chaoren, seeing this, didn't waste any more words, and led Zhuang Yuehua and the entourage to the sixth hole. Ferren then dismissed the caddies and coach, and the golf cart drove away at Ma Guojin's signal.

Now, only the four of them were left.

"If you have something to say, say it. If not, I need to continue my golf game," Ferren said coldly, holding his golf clubs and looking at the three Ma family members.

Ma Guojin and Rui'er stood a bit further back, not intending to speak.

Ma Guolun came up to Ferren, about to roar at him, but as a business tycoon, he suddenly calmed down just as he was about to vent his extreme anger. He didn't mention Huazhi at all. "Actually, it's nothing. I just wanted to greet Sir Ferren... By the way, from now on, our family will have someone watching you 24/7. If you violate any rules during your law enforcement, we will fulfill our duty as good citizens and report you to the complaints department."

Ferren frowned. It was one thing for this guy to target him, but it was another to try to strip him of his police badge just before he was about to return to the mainland to find his family.

"So, Sir Ferren, you need to be more careful from now on. Work from nine to five, don't be late or leave early, drive carefully, and don't speed!" Ma Guolun got more and more excited as he spoke, and came closer and closer, almost spitting on Ferren's face. "And if citizens call you for help, don't refuse them for any reason, or else..."

Before Ma Guolun could finish, Ferren suddenly grabbed his neck, applying a little force, cutting off the rest of his words. Ma Guolun felt as if his neck was clamped by a large steel pliers, unable to breathe, his face turning red, and his hands beating on Ferren's arm, trying to break free.

Unfortunately, all his efforts were in vain. Ferren's grip only tightened, lifting him up, a cold smile on his face.

Ma Guolun's feet flailed, but couldn't touch the ground. Ma Guojin and Rui'er, who had been stunned, finally reacted, running up, trying to pry Ferren's hands off and shouting, "Sir Ferren, what are you doing? Trying to murder? Let go!"

But Ferren's hands were not something three rich, weak men could move. Seeing Ma Guolun's eyes roll back, Ferren finally let go and threw him to the ground.

Rui'er quickly helped Ma Guolun up, pounding his back as he coughed violently, looking at Ferren with fear. Ma Guojin's chest heaved, unable to catch his breath, pointing at Ferren but unable to say a word.

Ferren coldly glanced at the Ma brothers and said, "Assaulting a police officer is a crime. In the future, remember to keep your distance when speaking to me, or it could easily be misunderstood." With that, he took out his wallet, pulled out a stack of thousand-dollar Hong Kong bills, and threw them at the three. "By the way, I heard Huazhi died in New York, truly unfortunate! I at least knew him, so this money is for burning paper for him."

Upon hearing this, Ma Guojin vomited a large mouthful of blood and fell backward.

Ferren sneered at Rui'er, "Beautiful, now you can inherit the estate!" He then ignored the three, hands in his pockets, and walked leisurely to the sixth hole.

Unexpectedly, before reaching the sixth hole, Ferren received a call from Xie Yixin, asking him to return to the headquarters for a meeting. Ferren had to call Old Li to apologize and left the club early, driving to Arsenal Street.

On the way, Ferren connected to one of the backup military satellites in the United States—NRSX76! It must be said that this military satellite was the most advanced and feature-rich one Ferren had acquired in recent years. Through NRSX76, Ferren linked to over a dozen more layers of servers, almost circling the globe, before connecting to a simple message board in Europe.

Ferren then posted a picture on the message board. To those who didn't understand, it looked like an abstract painting, but those who knew would decode it into a message: "Outside the Greater China region, hunt and kill any member of the Ma Guojin and Ma Guolun family. Each member killed will be rewarded with two Wu Yu Rezao Pills!"

After posting the picture, Ferren ignored it and focused on driving. However, while passing through Situ Ba Road and Zhaohui Road, he witnessed a traffic accident. A car rear-ended a truck, sliding under its rear.

This wasn't the worst part. The worst part was that the truck was carrying a fuel tank, which tipped over, drenching the car. The overheated engine hood of the car ignited the fuel with a low flash point.

"Boom—"

A massive fireball suddenly erupted on the side of the road, terrifying passersby and causing chaos at the scene. Someone quickly took out their phone and dialed 999!

Ferren stopped his Ferrari, approached the accident site, and saw a person inside the burning car pounding on the window.

(I'll try to post the two updates earlier today!)
