Not long after, the fire was extinguished and the masked man had already arrived. His subordinates dragged out a few charred corpses. “One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. We’ve confirmed that they’re all here. It seems like some fool lit a cigarette. This place happens to be very close to the gas station.”
This was exactly what Sheng Yang had guessed.
“He died just like that?” The masked man examined the bodies one by one, still finding it hard to believe.
How could such a man die here?
But there was no other explanation.

Sheng Yang went to the address that Lemon sent her. It was his friend’s house, and he had arranged for Gao Feng and the rest to stay there. It was safe.
Because those knockout drugs weren’t too harmful to the human body, Gao Feng and the rest were mostly fine. However, what was more serious was that the other party had used Gao Feng to threaten Yi Juncheng. There was a huge wound in his chest.
Lemon’s friend was bandaging his wound, but Gao Feng couldn’t care less about it. “Miss Sheng…” “Hey, don’t run around. Otherwise, you’ll really die.” Lemon quickly supported him.
Sheng Yang knew what Gao Feng was thinking, but she could only reply, “I didn’t find him.”
She was not good at lying, or rather, she did not know how to lie at all.
“You couldn’t find him?” Gao Feng was stunned. “Even you couldn’t find him.”
He knew that Sheng Yang was very powerful. How could a girl who that man valued be ordinary?
He had long since understood why she was able to escape unscathed despite repeatedly entering dangerous places.
As he thought of something, his tears fell silently. “Then is it possible…”
Sheng Yang couldn’t lie to him, so she could only say, “The house he was in exploded.”
Gao Feng spat out a mouthful of blood.
Master was like them. He was bound as well. If the house he was in exploded, how could he have escaped?
When Lemon’s friend saw the blood Gao Feng spat out, he was stunned. Then, he instinctively scolded Sheng Yang. “Why are you being like this? If this continues, this person will really die!”
Although Lemon was quite close to his friend, he still defended Sheng Yang without hesitation. “Don’t say anything about my boss!”
Lemon’s friend looked at him in surprise, but he kept quiet.
After going through that situation, Gao Feng was indeed half-dead. He forced himself to hold on and looked at Sheng Yang with lifeless eyes. “How many corpses were carried out?”
Sheng Yang fell silent, but even if she didn’t say anything, Gao Feng understood. He stood up angrily, even though his body was shaking. “I want to take revenge!” Sheng Yang knocked him out with a slap, showing no mercy. Lemon’s friend looked at her in surprise. Although she was a little too rough, it was the best solution.
“Alright, let’s treat them first,” said Lemon to his friend.
He believed that although Boss did not show it, his heart must be in a mess. He could tell that the person they were talking about earlier was someone very important to Boss.
In that case, he would help his boss settle her worries first.

In the dead of the night, Sheng Yang stood alone on the wide balcony with the wind blowing her black hair.
As soon as she closed her eyes, all she could see was the bits and pieces of her past interactions with Yi Juncheng. Her heart instantly palpitated.
Frankly speaking, she didn’t really believe that Yi Juncheng had died just like that. It was because in the system, this had never happened to anyone she saved. But…
