Chapter 6, The Decision of Tianxing

The recently enhanced strength caused him to lose his sense of balance, and the small room, now filled with four people, began to feel somewhat cramped

Staring at the mountain road ahead, Tianxing occasionally checked the time. At five o'clock in the morning, he finally saw the bright lights of the searchlights from the Ping'an Mountain tantalum mine in the distance

As Huang Kuangzhang woke up in confusion, Tianxing approached him, pinching his cheek with one hand. Under his astonished gaze, he spoke slowly, "How did you get here?"

After waiting for a moment, Tianxing confirmed that Mayor Li's shout had likely gone unheard. Relieved, Tianxing turned and walked back to the room. The three individuals on the floor would not wake up anytime soon, so he opened the door and stepped out to begin searching for Mayor Li's master bedroom

The awakened Xiao Feifei, in a daze, grasped Tianxing's arm, mumbling: "Brother Tianxing, don't leave me here all alone..."

For a full three years, the illegal mining of rare earth minerals at Ping'an Mountain has involved an investment of just over 1 million, yet the profits have astonishingly reached over 10 million.

Helplessly shaking his head, Tianxing looked at his own hands and forced a bitter smile

In the pitch-black night and under the dim light of the library, the spirit of Tianxing became highly tense. However, whether it was due to an increase in his abilities, even when driving at speeds exceeding 50 miles per hour, he still managed to handle it with ease

Upon hearing this, Tianxing slapped him across the face and then stuffed a piece of cloth into his mouth. Under the terrified gaze of Huang Kuangzhang, Tianxing took the key from his pocket and then vanished from the balcony.

He gently patted her small face and comforted her, saying, "It's alright, I will be back shortly"

I drove over this afternoon, the car is downstairs, the keys are in my pocket, there is fifty thousand yuan in the car, you can take it all, just let me go...

"Tell me, how did you get to the town? Who else came with you?"

At the last turn before entering the mine, Tianxing stopped the car by the roadside. Looking at the little Feifei lying in the car, Tianxing slapped himself on the face in frustration

Feifei, you stay here. I need to take care of something. If I am not back by dawn, you must not speak, and do not go onto the main road. Instead, run down the mountain along the forest path.

Mayor Li and Director Huang were stuffed into the carriage. Tianxing drove the vehicle out of the town. After picking up Xiaofeifei, Tianxing checked the time; it was nearly 3 AM. He pressed the accelerator, speeding along the mountain road leading from the town to the Ping'an Mountain rare earth mine.

Holding the rope found below, Tianxing first securely bound everyone together, then tore off a bedsheet to gag Mayor Li and his wife. Still not feeling at ease, he tied another strip of torn cloth around the back of their heads, ensuring that even if they woke up, they would not be able to spit out the scraps of cloth in their mouths.

Having said that, Tian Xing delivered a punch to his shoulder, and with a 'crack', the body of Mayor Li, who was muffled under the pillow, stiffened. The pain from his shattered shoulder caused him to faint immediately

Suppressing his inner regret, Tian carried Xiao Feifei to the woods by the roadside, gently draping a coat from the car over her. After shaking her awake, he softly said to the still rubbing her eyes Xiao Feifei

After a thorough search, Tianxing finally discovered a wardrobe in the bedroom on the second floor. Inside, he found something that infuriated him: the small wardrobe was stuffed with hundreds of thousands in cash and several account books.

With his other hand, Tianxing grasped the enamel cup on the table, and under the force, the cup was crumpled into a mass of scrap metal. Staring in astonishment at the bewildered Huang Kuangzhang, Tianxing spoke slowly:

More than thirty people died in the mine, most of whom were trafficked, consisting mainly of children aged ten to sixteen

Tianxing stood behind the curtain on the balcony, listening intently to the sounds around him. It was already late at night, and the distant noise had diminished significantly by the time it reached here

Do not think about calling for help; if you dare to speak loudly, I will crush your skull

Thinking of those poor children who died beneath the mine, unknown in name and age, Tianxing's eyes turned red. The anger rising within him was overwhelming, leaving him unable to express it. He sat on the ground for a long time, contemplating. He carefully packed the cash and account books from the closet into a bag, then turned back and returned to the third floor

The historic small building, though not large in area, was quickly traversed by the heavens, covering all three floors and searching through all the rooms. Apart from the three individuals upstairs, there was nothing else alive here.

He now only hopes that this little demon in front of him will reveal his purpose soon so that he can leave quickly

Once he regained his senses, he must find someone in authority to intervene; this little brat had caused him great suffering, and the fifty thousand yuan in the car was a source of deep anguish for him. As he was lost in thought, a faint sound came from the balcony. Before Director Huang could turn his head, he felt another sharp pain in his head and fainted again.

After waiting for half a day, Tianxing had not heard Mayor Li's voice, and only then did he realize that Mayor Li had already fainted

Looking up at the time, it was already 2 AM. Tianxing hesitated for a moment before shoving the middle-aged woman under the small bed. Then he picked up a basin and poured cold water directly over Huang Kuangzhang's head

He lunged forward, using a pillow to cover Mayor Li's face, his right hand gripping his throat, and in a lowered voice warned, "If you dare to shout again, don't blame me for being rude!"

As Mayor Li opened his mouth to shout, before he could utter a word, Tianxing swiftly swung the wine bottle from the table. The bottle struck Mayor Li's face just as he was about to say something, causing him to lean back and fall onto the small bed. His face was covered in blood, rendering him unable to say anything.

Looking at the couple, Mayor Li, bound together, with eyes so cold they could freeze a person, and the pool of fresh blood on the bed, Director Huang felt a chill run through his body. He truly did not dare to risk provoking Tianxing, especially since the blow he received on his head still hurt terribly.

He touched the pistol at his lower back, then Tianxing dropped Xiaofeifei and walked out of the woods, heading towards the Ping'an Mountain rare earth mine along the mountain path

Behind the enormous profits lies a shocking evil, with cabinets full of money, each bill stained with blood and tears

No, no one

Soon, Huang Kuangzhang heard the faint sound of a car engine starting from downstairs. His startled and anxious heart finally calmed down a little. He inwardly cursed the human trafficker, Lao Nian, wondering how such a person ended up in his mine. This time, he had truly run into bad luck

Flipping through the ledger quickly, Tianxing's anger grew more intense. The overwhelming grief and rage caused him to smash the door of the old wardrobe with a single punch, and a painful hiss escaped from his throat
