Soon, the area was filled with continuous screams.
Someone shouted, "They’re here."
Yu Lei’s face changed, and then he also became vigilant, feeling as if someone was targeting him.
Yu Lei did not dare to neglect, his hand tightly clutching a short dagger.
Although his kung fu was not as good as Ji Wushuang’s, he was still among the top of the Qingyi Sect’s younger generation.
Yu Lei was not afraid of any assassins; as long as he wasn’t ambushed, he was confident he could take them down.
When that time came, he would show them that, even if his uncle Yu Changchun was incapacitated, he, Yu Lei, was still not someone to be underestimated.
Just then, Yu Lei suddenly sensed something and immediately turned around to block with his short dagger—the sound of a ding indicated a small arrow had fallen to the ground.
Yu Lei smirked triumphantly, then shouted, "Is that the best you can do, trying to save someone from me? Show yourself."
But the next second, a sudden pain struck his neck.
It felt like he had been bitten by a mosquito. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned around.
He saw Jin Tuantuan looking at him with a half-smile.
"I’ve come out. I may not have many skills, but killing you is well within my capabilities," Jin Tuantuan said.
Before the words had finished, Jin Tuantuan plunged the entire silver needle into Yu Lei’s neck.
Yu Lei trembled all over, his eyes filled with horror, and then he staggered backwards.
He felt paralyzed, "Impossible, when did you get here?"
He hadn’t sensed anything; he wanted to run away, and if someone pulled out the silver needle, he could be saved.
"Fourth Elder, save... save me."
Yu Lei knew that the Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder were lurking nearby and that the Fourth Elder usually had a good relationship with his uncle, Yu Changchun.
Unfortunately, no matter how much he shouted, he did not see the Fourth Elder appear.
Yu Lei’s heart sank with each thud.
He had been targeted, or rather, abandoned—it must be Ji Wushuang, it had to be him.
Yu Lei’s face turned ashen, watching Jin Tuantuan approach step by step; he quickly begged for mercy.
"Spare... Spare my life," he pleaded.
Jin Tuantuan sneered, "When your Qingyi Sect was intent on eliminating our organization completely, did you ever think this day would come?"
"And, begging a killer for mercy, isn’t that laughable?"
Jin Tuantuan’s gaze hardened, showing no hesitation as he dealt the final blow to Yu Lei.
This was a real battle of life and death. In most cases, there wasn’t much fighting—taking your opponent’s life was often a matter of moments.
After taking care of Yu Lei, Jin Tuantuan immediately ran towards the room inside.
He opened the door but only saw Zhang Tiande and Chen Yun.
Jin Tuantuan recognized both from their photographs, just as he had recognized Xiao Man’s photo, so he knew them on sight.
But now, his expression grim, he asked, "Where is Xiao Man?"
At this moment, both Zhang Tiande and Chen Yun were pale.
They had no idea what was happening and had been kidnapped here in confusion.
After arriving here, Zhang Tiande saw Xiao Man and realized that he had been betrayed by the very people he had hired.
No matter how much he screamed for mercy, the other party had no intention of letting him go.
It seemed like these people had come to rescue them.
"You must be from the Harmonious Society Management Association, please save me, save me quickly," Zhang Tiande also said hastily.
Chen Yun’s heart was in a panic as well, but unlike Zhang Tiande, she turned to Jin Tuantuan and asked, "Are you here to rescue us? Xiao Man was just taken away by someone. Please, go and save Xiao Man."
Chen Yun was very worried about Xiao Man. A girl in her twenties had been taken away by a gang of bad guys; Chen Yun didn’t even want to imagine what fate she might face.
Jin Tuantuan’s brow furrowed slightly. Xiao Man had actually been taken away. She was Zhang Yang’s girlfriend, and he definitely cared a lot about her.
But as for where the person had been taken to, Jin Tuantuan had no clue.
It looked like the only option was to go back to the monitoring room to see. Hopefully, Ji Wushuang had left by then.
If not, it would be perfect. This time she was in the dark while Ji Wushuang was exposed. If she could get her hands on him, she might be able to take care of one of Zhang Yang’s troubles sooner.
As Jin Tuantuan was quick in her thoughts, Zhang Tiande suddenly spoke up again with great anger, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and rescue us."
"The people from the Harmonious Society Management Association are getting less and less professional."
Jin Tuantuan scoffed, "Who told you I’m from the Harmonious Society Management Association?"
As she was speaking, a person from the Qingyi Sect suddenly attacked from behind, but Jin Tuantuan, as if she had eyes on the back of her head, turned around and counterattacked effortlessly.
Seeing this, both Zhang Tiande and Chen Yun were startled.
They were just ordinary people, unfamiliar with such scenes. Was that person just killed on the spot? His neck had been twisted and broken just like that!
It was too frightening, especially for Zhang Tiande, who stammered, "You... if you’re not from the Harmonious Society Management Association, then who are you?"
Jin Tuantuan sneered, "We are all desperate fugitives on the Harmonious Society Management Association’s wanted list. Come with us."
Zhang Tiande immediately shook his head, "No, I’m not going with you. I’m waiting for someone from the Harmonious Society Management Association to rescue me."
Zhang Tiande was full of regret by now. If he had known it would come to this, he would never have brought Chen Yun along to find Xiao Man.
At the same time, he was terrified. He thought they were just dealing with a fraud gang, but it turned out these people were Jianghu People, a bunch of desperate fugitives.
And in Zhang Tiande’s understanding, the people brought by Jin Tuantuan were embroiled in a deadly clash between two groups from the Martial World.
Yet, although Chen Yun was also scared, she remembered that Jin Tuantuan had asked about Xiao Man right from the start.
She also took note of Jin Tuantuan’s troubled expression the moment she heard Xiao Man had been taken away.
So she said urgently, "I’ll go with you. Please help me save Xiao Man."
"Are you crazy? Don’t you want to live? They don’t look like good people at all," Zhang Tiande said to her in a low voice, scolding her.
Chen Yun didn’t have a choice right now. No matter what, she wanted to be with Xiao Man.
Jin Tuantuan looked at Chen Yun with some admiration, then smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I will find Xiao Man."
She then ordered her subordinates, "Take these two away."
"I won’t go, let me go, I’m waiting for someone from the Harmonious Society Management Association to rescue me," Zhang Tiande began to struggle.
"Stay put!" The person who had grabbed Zhang Tiande gave him a punch.
That punch almost made Zhang Tiande vomit his bile.
"Keep yapping, and I’ll break your legs," he said coldly, threatening Zhang Tiande.
They had taken a risk coming to rescue people, and Zhang Tiande was still prattling on endlessly. Were they supposed to indulge him?
Then Jin Tuantuan ordered, "This man doesn’t seem to be anything good; feel free to beat him if he doesn’t listen. But be more gentle with this woman, and take them to a safe place."
Zhang Tiande, with tears in his eyes, really wanted to ask why he was considered nothing good. How did you know?
