Power and Wealth Chapter 1138: Xiao Bing is dead?!

Chapter 1138: Xiao Bing is dead?!

Beijing Standing Committee Villa, no. 1.

Xie Guobang,  Xie Guoliang, Xie Guokian, and Han Jing were in the living room.

Xie Guoliang asked. “Why did you call everyone here?”

Xie Guokian looked at him. “Second Brother….” He turned and glanced at Han Jing.

Han Jing noticed it and stood up. “I will prepare lunch. Your brothers can carry on.”

Xie Guobang interrupted. “Your Sister-in-law is not that weak. What do you want to say? Is it about Lizhen? You left for a meeting at the military HQ last night until now. What happened? Shouldn’t you let us know now?”

Han Jing got anxious. “You have Lizhen’s news?”

Xie Guojian kept quiet and continued to smoke.

Xie Guoliang said. “I heard a little about it. It seemed Florida is in chaos now.”

Han Jing’s face changed. “Florida? Isn’t that where Lizhen’s research center is located? What happened, Guojian? Tell us!”

“Sis, I….” Xie Guojian could not say it.

Han Jing took a deep breath. “I am prepared. Just tell me!”

Xie Guojian snubbed his cigarette and said. “Lizhen…. She might be dead!”

Although Han Jing was prepared for the worse, her face turned pale immediately.

Xie Guoliang took a deep breath. He might not be close to Zhong Lizhen, but they have known each other for years. “How is it possible?!”

Xie Guobang frowned. “Is this news reliable?”

Xie Guojian replied. “The body is not found, but she should be dead.”

Everyone kept quiet. Han Jing tried to hold back her tears.

Xie Guojian’s eyes were red. “There’s one more thing. Brother, Sister-in-law, you two be prepared. I am afraid you might not take it after hearing this.”

Xie Guobang said. “What?”

Xie Guojian continued. “Lizhen’s news and what happened in Florida is cla.s.sified. Even her family members are not allowed to know. However, the military discovered something during their investigation. I must let you all know. Your son-in-law, Dong Xuebing…. might be dead too!”

“What?!”

“Xiao Bing?!”

Han Jing’s legs went soft, and she almost fell.

Xie Guobang’s expression changed. “What happened to Xuebing?”

“I only say he might be dead. Lizhen and his bodies are not found. We could only guess based on the findings. The chances of him still alive is almost zero.” Xie Guojian said.

Han Jing was furious. “Impossible! Xiao Bing has been in Beijing all this while! How can Lizhen and him….” Suddenly Han Jing paused. “Xiao Bing went to Florida?!”

Xie Guojian replied. “Yes. A State Security comrade saw him and only knew he was called Xiao Dong. His age is around twenty-five.”

“How can you be sure he is Xuebing?” Han Jing refused to believe. “Xuebing will not die!”

Xie Guojian looked at Han Jing. “The State Security comrade reported that youth killed eight soldiers with two steak knives. Who else can do this other than Xiao Bing? We traced the flight and pa.s.sport details and discovered his pa.s.sport was fake. The State Security investigated and confirmed Xiao Bing had asked his State Security friend to prepare a fake pa.s.sport for him four days ago.”

Four days ago?!

Isn’t that the day Xie Guojian and Han Jing told Dong Xuebing about Zhong Lizhen?! That’s the day when they asked if he was confident to go to the US to save Zhong Lizhen!

Xiao Bing replied no, and he will not go to the US. Xie Guojian and Han Jing did not ask anymore. But Xiao Bing went to the US secretly!

“It’s all my fault!” Xie Guojian regretted it. “I should not have told Xiao Bing about Zhong Lizhen! He takes everything to heart!”

Han Jing’s tears rolled down her cheeks. “What has this got to do with you? It’s my fault. I should have known when he said he forgot to bring his phone charger and could not receive any calls. It’s me…. I caused his death!” She knows Xiao Bing well. Her precious cultural relic was stolen in j.a.pan. He risked his life to steal it from the museum without telling anyone. He is unrelated to Zhong Lizhen and had gone there because of Han Jing.

Xie Guoliang refused to believe. “Are you sure Xiao Bing is dead?”

Xie Guojian replied. “Xiao Bing infiltrated the research center yesterday, and we have not received the details yet. We only know Xiao Bing had killed more than fifty soldiers. A few hours after the incident, the US military locked down the whole city to search for him. They also locked down the coastline, and he couldn’t leave by sea. Most flights were canceled, and checks got stricter for the ones not canceled. Even a fly cannot escape, let alone a human!”

Xie Guoliang said. “But Xiao Bing’s combat power should….”

Xie Guojian replied. “He can win against a few dozen people, but what about a few hundred? A few thousand?! He is facing a whole nation alone! We checked the flights this morning. He did not board the return flight he booked with his fake pa.s.sport.”

Han Jing replied immediately. “He is trapped in Florida and might not be dead.”

Xie Guojian replied. “It’s possible, but the chances are slim. We conclude some possible scenarios. Xuebing and Lizhen were killed at the research center, and the US military is combing the city for their accomplices. Another possible scenario is Xuebing and Lizhen were caught while on the run. That’s why we did not receive any news about them. If they were caught, they would be dead. Of course, they might still be on the run, but they were trapped in Florida.”

Xie Guobang said. “Send people in to rescue him! I want him back, even if it is his body!”

Xie Guojian replied. “We tried. We tried everything. But no one can enter under that lockdown!”

“I don’t care!” Xie Guobang stood up. “If Xiao Bing and Lizhen are alive, we must bring them back at all costs! I am going to make a few calls! Is Senior Xie aware of this?!”

Xie Guojian sighed. “I don’t dare to tell him…. but I think he knows about it.”
