Chapter 1565 Block The Way


    “Mr. Xu, please calm down.“


    “Don''t tell me what to do! Get out of my way and just mind your own business!“ Darren shouted in a fit


    of rage. He didn''t have a single ounce of care for Han''s plea. At that moment, it was clear that no


    one could put his mind at ease. “If you don''t step aside right now, I might kill you as well.“


    Han wanted to leave as soon as possible when he heard Darren''s threat against him. But he was too


    concerned about what trouble his boss might get himself into. As a result, he stood his ground and


    pleaded once again. “Mr. Xu, please don''t let your anger cloud your judgment. You''ll lose your whole


    life''s work if you kill someone. Are you really prepared to sacrifice everything just because of Jacob?“


    “Don''t make me say it again! Get out of my way right now!“ Darren shouted again while staring at


    Han with his bloodshot eyes. Even though Darren was dead serious about killing him, Han still


    tried his best to calm his boss down.


    “Think about the people who look up to you. They''ll be disappointed if they find out that you killed


    someone. To make matters worse, some people might even think that you''re a coward for choosing to


    kill yourpetitor instead of battling him with your wits. Do you really want people to remember you


    that way?“


    Han''s words infuriated Darren even more. Without hesitation, he threw a powerful punch straight at


    him. Luckily, Han was able to block it with his arm. Unfortunately, the punch was so strong that it


    made him fall to the ground. Before walking out the door, Darren raised his right foot and stomped on


    Han''s stomach while he was on the floor. Han curled up in pain. On the other hand, Darren just


    looked at him like he was a stranger and walked past him.


    “Mr. Xu! Please don''t do this! Don''t let your anger ruin your whole life! You might not care about me, but


    please think about Bonnie! She''s still in prison and waiting for you to save her! If you really kill Jacob,


    who''s going to set her free?“


    Just with the mention of Bonnie''s name, Darren regained a part of his sanity. He started to look a little


    less crazy and acted like a person that could be reasoned with.


    In his heart, he knew it was true. If he was to get himself imprisoned, there would be no one else left to


    help Bonnie. Could he really let her live the rest of her life behind bars?


    To make matters worse, anyone who wanted to harm Darren knew that his weakness was Bonnie. If he


    was to disappear, who would protect the love of his life?


    When Darren finally calmed down, Han breathed a sigh of relief.


    While gasping for air, Han could smell a scent of blooding from his mouth. However, he couldn''t


    care about it since he needed to make sure that his boss wasn''t going to lose it again. After struggling


    to stand up, he stood at Darren''s side and said, “Mr. Xu, I know you want Jacob to disappear forever,


    but you don''t have to do it with your bare hands.“


    Han''s wordspletely intrigued Darren. He quickly turned to face his assistant and hinted with his


    eyes for him to go on.


    “Can''t we make use of Bill and his men? Ahem...“ Han had to stop midway from coughing up blood.


    When he finally caught his breath, he continued. “Don''t you think using Bill is the best way to kill


    Jacob? If they fail, no one would ever guess that you were behind it. Even Jacob himself wouldn''t find


    any evidence to prove that you were involved.


    And besides, Bill and his men are a gang of ouws. They live their lives like every day is theirst day


    on the earth. They''ve even done things like this before. No matter what, those people have a better


    chance of actually killing someone than just the two of us.“


    For Darren, Han''s suggestion was like a breeze of fresh air. Itpletely brought him back to


    normal. As soon as Han was finished speaking, an idea popped up in Darren''s mind.


    Just in a few minutes, he knew exactly what he needed to do next. He tidied up his suit and walked


    back to his office chair. Then, he said, “You''re right. Not using a man like Bill would be a waste of a


    great opportunity.“ While he was speaking, Darren noticed Han''s lips were stained with blood. At the


    sight of his wound, Darren waved his hand and added, “You should go downstairs for now and treat


    yourself. Thank you for your hard work today.“


    Han simply nodded and left. As soon as he did, Darren immediately called Bill and told him his n


    about dealing with Jacob. Bill waspletely enthusiastic while talking with Darren, especially since


    the two of them hated Jacob to their core. In just in a few minutes, the two agreed on a n to destroy


    Jacob''s entire life.


    A few hourster, it was alreadyte at night. The busy streets that were always filled with workers


    going home becamepletely deserted.


    Only a few offices still had lights on. The HT Group''s building was one of them. From time to time, a


    few people would pass by the building''s main entrance.


    Under a dim street light, a few shady-looking men gathered together. While smoking cigarettes, they


    whispered to each other and looked at the HT Group''s building from afar.


    “Damn!“


    one of the shady-looking men angrily eximed. After that, another man from their group spoke in a


    lazy voice. “Boss, we''ve been waiting here for hours. Look at how many mosquito bites I have already.


    Why hasn''t Jacob left yet?“ The two impatient young men kept irritably looking up at the top floor of HT


    Group while puffing on their cigarettes.


    They had been prowling in wait for Jacob since the afternoon. If the light in Jacob''s room wasn''t on,


    their patience surely would not havested this long.


    That being said, the two young men didn''t dare to say that they wanted to leave. Their terrifying boss


    would surely get upset if they did so. As a result, they could only look at their boss, who was quietly


    leaning against the streetmp.


    Their boss was still waiting even though he was an old man. The two knew they had absolutely no


    reason toin.


    “Just my two cents here, CEOs arepletely insane. They sit on their fancy chairs and stare at


    documents the whole day,“ one of the men who was standing beside their boss uttered. Shortly after,


    he flicked his cigarette and looked at their boss''s face.


    After a few minutes of silence, the boss himself finally became impatient. Their boss was none other


    than Bill himself. He fixed his posture and asked the person beside him, “Is Jacob still in his office?“


    “Boss, the light in his office is still on and we''ve been here since the afternoon. I think he''s still there.“


    Bill quickly red at his subordinate and pped him hard on the head. “You think? Are you not even


    sure if he''s still there? You stupid pig! Why do I even pay you? Go! Hurry up and find out if he''s still


    inside!“


    The group panicked when Bill shouted. They looked at each other, a few hinting that someone needed


    to speak. But no one dared to open their mouths.

    Since all of them had worked for Bill for so long at that point, they knew there were no words to say to


    him that would calm him down. Even though Bill was usually nice to his men, he would always get mad


    at them if just one of them made a big mistake, especially in crucial moments like this.


    Bill slowly walked out of the shadow of the streetmp. Coincidentally, the light shone directly on his


    menacing face. It made him look even more terrifying than he already was.


    A few minutester, the man who was pped by Bill earlier came back. He lowered his head and then


    reported while his legs were trembling in fear. “Boss, I just spoke to one of the HT Group''s employees.


    They said that Jacob was on a business trip today and he didn''t even step one foot into the building at


    all.“


    With just those words, all of Bill''s men immediately felt fear in their hearts. They knew they had wasted


    an hour of their boss''s time for absolutely nothing.


    Bill took out a cigarette from his mouth and threw it on the ground. After that, he stepped on the


    cigarette butt and sneered. “Is this why I pay you? To give me useless information?“ While asking those


    questions, he gave his man an even harder p on the head.


    The man became light-headed from the pain and his legs trembled to the point that he almost knelt on


    the ground.


    His punishment made the other men scared for their lives. Nobody dared to breathe loudly in fear of


    being punished by Bill as well. Just the sound of Bill''s hand hitting the man''s head gave everyone else


    a headache.


    Right at that moment, everyone wanted to leave. They knew that if their boss was in a bad enough


    mood, he wouldn''t hesitate to kill one of them.


    “Why are you still standing here? Do you think I want you back?“ Bill frigidly asked. His blood was at a


    boiling point and he didn''t want to see this man anymore. As a result, he simply turned around and left.


    “Wait!“ an unknown female voice shouted in Bill''s direction. He squinted his eyes at the woman in front


    of him. She was a few meters away and the darkness made it hard to distinguish her face. But when he


    finally knew who he was looking at, a menacing smile quickly appeared on his face.


    “Boss?“


    Bill shook his head and replied, “We seem to have hit the jackpot. We''ve wasted so much time here


    waiting for Jacob and he wasn''t even here. But look at what we have now. It''s the woman he loves the


    most. What a lucky turn of events this is!“
