In the corner of his eye, Da Dong was sprawled on the ground, unconscious.
The man trembled in fear, stuttering: "W-Who are you?"
A chilling voice sounded behind his ear: "Where’s the boy you kidnapped?"
The police got here this quickly?
"I... I don’t know anything!"
The object pressed against his temple dug into his skin, sending a sharp pain through him.
The man screeched: "Brother Ma dumped this woman on us and ran off with the others—I’m just a nobody, how could I know where they went?"
Sun Wei glanced at the unconscious girl lying on the ground, his eyes narrowing.
In that brief moment of distraction, Lai Zi snatched the stick lying on the ground and swung it fiercely at the man behind him, shouting: "I’ll kill you...!"
Sun Wei kicked Lai Zi hard in the stomach, sending him crashing into the machinery behind him. His eyes rolled back as he slumped to the ground, unconscious.
Sun Wei crouched down, preparing to wake Shen You’an, but footsteps sounded from behind him.
Sun Wei instinctively tightened his grip on his gun and spun around warily.
When he saw who had arrived, he exhaled in relief and spoke respectfully: "Madam."
Helian Yu said indifferently: "Xixi’s life hangs by a thread, and you still have time to concern yourself with an outsider?"
Sun Wei lowered his head: "Miss Shen disappeared together with Young Master. I was hoping to extract some useful information from her."
Helian Yu let out a cold scoff: "What information could she possibly have? Every second you waste here puts Xixi in greater danger."
Sun Wei immediately responded: "I’ll pursue them right away."
Helian Yu cast a glance at the second-in-command following behind her: "You go with him."
The second-in-command quickly protested: "Madam, it’s unwise to leave you without protection."
"Xixi’s safety is more important. Stop wasting time and go now."
Helian Yu commanded harshly.
The second-in-command dared not say another word and quickly moved to Sun Wei’s side. Google seaʀᴄh ɴovelfire.net
Sun Wei glanced at Helian Yu, then handed her a box: "Use this for protection, Madam."
Inside the box were tranquilizer darts.
With that, Sun Wei turned and left with the second-in-command in swift pursuit of their target.
Helian Yu slowly approached the girl on the ground, lowering her gaze to study her quietly.
Her beautifully lined eyes were clouded with gathering storms, a tempest on the verge of breaking.
Her hands folded across her abdomen, her right index finger slowly twisting the ring on her left ring finger.
Under the dim lighting, the luxurious shine of the crocodile leather handbag she carried shimmered richly.
The factory floor was eerily silent, with even the sound of a pin dropping audible.
The atmosphere was heavy and combustible, ready to explode at any moment.
Helian Yu reached into her handbag and slowly pulled out a small knife, snapping it open with a sharp "swish." The blade gleamed menacingly.
She crouched down, quietly taking in the sight of the girl lying prone on the ground.
The girl’s glasses had fallen from her nose, revealing features as if a gentle wind had swept away clouds to let moonlight bless the earthly realm.
Helian Yu was slightly startled. She had never paid close attention before but now realized that without her glasses, the girl’s true beauty was breathtaking.
At such a tender age, she was already so striking—what unimaginable allure would she command after growing up?
Helian Yu’s gaze turned sharp, as cold and unforgiving as a blade, inching across the girl’s flawless face.
Could Xixi have been bewitched by this face?
Every woman cherishes beauty. If gifted with such an exquisite visage, who would willingly keep it hidden from the world?
Glasses dulled her to mediocrity, but removing them revealed a beauty that could captivate all.
Such stark contrasts could effortlessly ignite a man’s intrigue.
At such a young age, to possess such cunning...
Her carefully nurtured son, destined for a life of prosperity and honor among the elite, could not be led astray by such a deceitful and low-born girl.
Helian Yu’s gaze turned icy cold as she gripped the knife, aiming its blade directly at the girl’s chest...
Before things spiraled out of control, it had to be eliminated at the source.
She would never allow anyone to ruin Xixi’s future.
This was an opportunity sent from the heavens.
Helian Yu’s eyes glimmered with madness.
Just as the tip of the knife was about to pierce the girl’s chest, a delicate hand lightly pinched the blade, halting its advance completely.
Red-eyed and raging, Helian Yu froze for a moment, then instinctively looked up.
She met the girl’s gaze—smiling eyes, dazzling and suffused with confidence.
What stunning eyes they were, clear as the pure waters of heavenly mountains, yet deep and tumultuous as a stormy sea.
Without glasses to veil them, they bloomed like wild peonies in fullest splendor, bold and unrestrained in their magnificence.
Helian Yu narrowed her eyes, her lowered voice seething with resentment: "You weren’t unconscious?"
The girl slowly sat upright, her graceful hand twisting and turning in an indescribable manner. Helian Yu felt a jolt of pain in the webbed area of the hand that held the knife, and the blade slipped from her fingers, landing squarely in the girl’s delicate grasp.
Helian Yu’s face darkened with fury: "You..."
The girl cheerfully interrupted her: "Mrs. Liu, you’ve fallen into my trap."
