Ou Yunchen quickly left them behind. He walked through the long corridor, realizing he had to meet the guest with the military helicopter himself.
A burly man blocked Ou Yunchen's path. They exchanged a few moves. Ou Yunchen dodged just in time, otherwise, he would have been hit in the face by the sudden heavy punch!
The man recognized Ou Yunchen's face, but more men in black, dressed similarly, surrounded him. They were not friendly towards Ou Yunchen, and their sharp eyes even held a hint of bloodlust.
Two men grabbed Ou Yunchen's arms. The burly man landed a heavy punch on him. Ou Yunchen spat out blood from his mouth with disdain, "I want to see Colin." Before he could finish speaking, another punch landed on his stomach.
These people were no mere bodyguards; they were mercenaries hired at great cost to protect this man named Colin.
Compared to Ou Yunchen, who hadn't taken on a mission in a long time, they could easily subdue this adopted son of the Tang family, formerly known as Ou Zhan.
Speaking of Mr. Colin, one had to start with the previous head of the Tang family. The business empire owned by the Tang family could rake in a quarter of the world's wealth.
However, another man named Ben was a highly influential businessman in Eagle Country at the time. The rivalry between the two empires would always result in one side's defeat.
Unfortunately, Axe, the adopted son of Tang, killed Ben, thereby weakening Ben's influence.
But Colin, as Ben's son, harbored deep resentment. He was sworn enemies with everything related to the Tang family and was determined to avenge his father one day.
This was precisely why Colin's mercenaries couldn't wait to kill Ou Yunchen the moment they saw him.
The men in black escorted Ou Yunchen to a room. Colin sat in the center of the room. A dining table was laden with various cuts of steak. He wore a black plastic glove on one hand as he sliced his steak. With the middle finger of his other hand, he gently pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up. Upon seeing Ou Yunchen's injured face, he gave a sinister smile.
A medium-rare steak was neatly sliced. Blood slowly dripped out. Colin picked up his fork and aimed it at a piece of meat.
He slowly put it into his mouth, closing his eyes in enjoyment, as if savoring the tender texture with a hint of sweet bloodiness. When he opened his eyes, satisfied, he re-examined his old acquaintance, who could hardly be called a friend.
Colin shook his head, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, look who it is, the adopted son who kills without batting an eye?"
As the men in black were about to punch Ou Yunchen again, Colin raised the hand wearing the black glove. A slight smile played on his lips as he beckoned Ou Yunchen.
The men in black immediately pushed him towards Colin's position and then kicked Ou Yunchen down, forcing him to kneel and look up at the man on the chair.
Colin's steak knife rested on Ou Yunchen's chin. "I knew I'd seen this face somewhere. Look, it's really Ou Zhan!!!"
A man in black interjected, "Mr. Colin, shall we finish him?"
Colin's devilish smile suddenly vanished. He sternly placed his index finger over his lips.
"Shh! How can you treat a... enemy... you haven't seen in years like this!"
Colin leaned closer, meticulously examining Ou Yunchen. Then, his voice, initially soft, grew loud as he whispered in Ou Yunchen's ear, "Tell me, are you too foolish to walk into a trap, or are my mercenaries too useless? They've been after you for years and still couldn't find you?"
He roared the last sentence, and the surrounding men in black lowered their heads. They thought catching this adopted son would surely please their master.
Colin tilted his head back unnaturally, feigning tears for such an outcome.
"I don't like it this way. I prefer chasing you all over the world. You walking into my trap makes me lose face. The game is over so quickly, though the ending should have been me catching you..."
"Colin..." Ou Yunchen was about to speak.
"No, don't. Our game must continue, must continue!!!"
"How about we play cat and mouse? You hide, and I'll chase. If I catch you before dawn, I'll have my next dinner."
Ou Yunchen knew this pervert wouldn't be easy to deal with. He had to agree. "Alright, but I have one condition."
Colin's eyes gleamed. "What is it? Tell me quickly!"
"You can only use your helicopter to search for me on the snow."
After speaking, Ou Yunchen flung off the two hands holding his shoulders, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, snatched the steak knife from Colin's hand, and ruthlessly plunged it into the thigh of the man in black who had kicked him. The action was so swift that no one present could react in time.
Like a pack of vicious dogs leashed by their collars, none dared to move against Ou Yunchen without Colin's command. They could only glare as Ou Yunchen pushed open the door and made a潇洒 (xiaosǎ - dashing, elegant, free and easy) exit.
Colin pulled the steak knife from the man's thigh. The man cried out in pain, but Colin's eyes didn't even blink. He picked up the tablecloth, wiped the blood off the blade, and then flung it hard. The tip of the knife lodged precisely into the crack of the door that had just closed.
