"I don’t believe they’re not afraid of bullets," Zheng Jia Mei thought, reaching for the gun. She couldn’t lose face, or how else could she stand her ground? At this moment, she had completely ignored Tie Zhongshi. As long as Chu Mengyao was dealt with, Tie Zhongshi’s matter would naturally be resolved.
"I advise you to be sensible, otherwise, it won’t just be a minor lesson," Ye Fan said.
Zheng Jia Mei touched the gun but didn’t dare to draw it. Being stared at by Ye Fan, she felt a shiver down her spine.
"Miss," Guo Gang eagerly called out, fully aware of how terrifying Du Xueqi and the others could be. If Miss made an unwise move, they would be the ones to suffer.
Zheng Jia Mei stopped her actions, her expression extremely grim. She had never been so humiliated. Now, she could only grit her teeth and swallow her pride. Crushing Chu Mengyao with force seemed impossible.
"My Xinglong Group holds significant power in the Ba Country. Offending me won’t end well for you. If you realize your mistake, come and apologize. Otherwise, I won’t let it go," Zheng Jia Mei said, and then left, too ashamed to stay. Guo Gang followed closely behind.
"So arrogant. I wonder where all that pride comes from," Mengyao chuckled silently.
"Don’t mind it. Some people rely on their abilities and disregard others. It’s not worth arguing with such people. If she knew our true power, she probably wouldn’t even dare to breathe in our presence," Ye Fan said nonchalantly.
"That’s true. We’re all from Huaxia, so let’s be generous and not worry about it," Mengyao smiled happily.
Tie Zhongshi wiped a cold sweat and said cautiously, "Boss Chu, the bodyguards around you are incredible."
His back was soaked with sweat. That Zheng Jia Mei conceded so easily was beyond him, especially the scene of Du Xueqi and another woman defeating Guo Gang, which shocked him deeply.
He also knew that by doing so, Chu Mengyao and Ye Fan had offended Zheng Jia Mei, but there was no choice. If Ye Fan and the others couldn’t handle Zheng Jia Mei, their situation would be even more dangerous.
Outside the mansion, Zheng Jia Mei and Guo Gang left with their bodyguards.
Zheng Jia Mei’s expression was particularly grim, especially after Ye Fan’s gaze made her feel fear, lacking even the courage to draw her gun. This humiliation made her internally furious.
Guo Gang was pale. He knew it was not that his skills were inferior but that their opponents were too strong.
"Miss, those five female bodyguards are not to be underestimated; each is as strong as I am," Guo Gang said seriously. "If I face one, I can manage evenly, but if two attack, I’d be doomed within thirty moves."
After a pause, he continued, "And that man, although I can’t gauge his strength, he feels very dangerous. He’s probably even stronger."
Zheng Jia Mei closed her eyes in frustration, exhaled a deep breath, and indignantly said, "I never expected Chu Mengyao to have such powerful masters by her side, quite surprising."
"What should we do now? Is Miss planning to abandon Tie Zhongshi’s assets?" Guo Gang asked.
"Abandon? Impossible. I’ve suffered such a humbling; I must double my retaliation. The Chu Group dares to contend with my Xinglong Group, overestimating themselves. They’d better be ready for destruction," Zheng Jia Mei said viciously. "Instruct King Kong to bring people here. I want Chu Mengyao and others dead in this foreign land. If they dare oppose me, they must be ready to die. Here, in the realm of guns and cannons, personal strength, though important, won’t prevail against bullets and artillery. Along the way, after dealing with Chu Mengyao and her people, I will incorporate the Chu Group into my Xinglong Group, killing two birds with one stone."
"Understood," Guo Gang agreed.
He also harbored resentment, knowing that Miss underestimated Chu Mengyao and the others. Still, he didn’t warn her. Once King Kong and others strike and the timing is right, it will be easy to eliminate Chu Mengyao and her group under the firepower.
King Kong, leader of the Beehive mercenary group, a force Xinglong Group controls in Ba Country.
The first night of Ye Fan and Chu Mengyao arriving in Ba Country unfolded.
Near the mansion, after a simple setup, it resembled a fortress.
With Du Xueqi and the five women on guard, there were no worries.
Ye Fan and Mengyao were chatting when Du Xueqi entered and reported, "Benefactor, President, a group of about fifty men is approaching from all directions of the mansion, including the ten bodyguards who left during the day."
Outside the mansion, new small monitoring devices were set up, and Du Xueqi had detailed information about the enemy.
Ye Fan looked through a night-vision binocular, lost interest, and calmly said, "It seems the ten bodyguards we’ve let go are eyeing the money in our box, rallying allies to rob us. They are just a mob, not worth worrying about. I’ll leave them to you to handle. Any problem?"
"No problem," Du Xueqi assured.
"Remember, try to solve it outside, don’t draw people near the mansion. We still need to stay here for a while, so don’t turn our residence into a battlefield," Ye Fan emphasized.
"Just a bunch of hooligans, we’ll send them all to hell in no time," Du Xueqi said confidently.
Du Xueqi turned to leave, but Ye Fan stopped her, advising again, "Use guns to resolve this. Don’t reveal too much of your personal strength. Be discreet. We can’t let potential enemies understand our true capacity. If we make a move here, we will inevitably affect others’ interests and attract attention, which means enemies will follow."
"We know what to do," Du Xueqi replied as she left.
Soon, gunfire erupted.
Bullets roared out, cold sparks flashing in the night.
Occasional screams accompanied it, signs of life falling.
Du Xueqi and the five women, like reapers, slaughtered the invading enemies.
"I anticipated it wouldn’t be peaceful, but I didn’t expect Ba Country to be this chaotic, facing attacks the first night," Mengyao said helplessly.
"Here, there’s no justice—only those with more guns and troops are just," Ye Fan explained.
Mengyao quickly adapted to everything here.
Ye Fan and Mengyao watched the distant flashes and explosive bursts, their hearts tremendously calm.
At this moment, Tie Zhongshi was startled awake and rushed aggressively to them.
