On the camera, Lu was smacking on his men’s back. All of them spat out a mouthful of blood and fell upon the ground.
She repeated her move, and none of them were alive after one single attack.
She was capable of killing hundreds of people whilst protecting Shangguan Ning simultaneously. Neither she nor Shangguan Ning were injured till now.
Tang Shunian realised that he had spent so much money upon keeping these men well fed so that they could become good fighters, but they turned out to be worse than a group of pigs!
But it did not matter if these men were alive or not at the moment. Trapped by Jing Yiran in this place, he first needed to find a way to escape. As long as he stayed alive, he would always get the opportunity of coming back someday.
Tang Shunian did not care how Jing Yiran fell for such a violent weirdo, so he said quickly, “Can you make sure that I leave safe and sound if I bring her out of that place?”
His men were all there in that cellar with Jing Yichen, and there was a river between them. His men often travelled through the underground passage but that must have been bombed by now. So his men could not make it back and even if they did, they would die here.
Jing Yiran had taken control of this place, and as soon as he went out of this door, he would be bombed to ashes!
But it seemed that Jing Yiran did not care about Jing Zhongxiu and Jing Yichen’s death, only Lu’s.
Then it was easy to persuade him with that weakness. He just feared that Jing Yiran would fight him dirty. Jing Yiran was not an upright man like Jing Yichen. He had many terrible tricks up his sleeve.
“I can make sure that your woman is brought out of there safe and sound, but in return, you must release me first. When I am truly safe, I will bring your woman out of there!”
Tang Shunian had always been a cautious person. He disliked it when he was under someone else’s control.
Jing Yiran was suffering from a headache from the bombing sound outside the room, and he needed to finish this bastard and get out of here as soon as possible.
But he could not behave carelessly, in case Tang Shunian activated the bomb at Jing Yichen’s place. All of them would die.
He was not here just for Lu.
Lu could keep herself safe and did not need his help.
He was here to rescue Jing Yichen.
Jing Yiran felt very uncomfortable when he thought that he was here to aid Jing Yichen!
They had been each other’s worst enemies since childhood and were never on good terms. He was very surprised that Jing Yichen had entrusted him with such a big task!
Apart from the slight discomfort, Jing Yiran felt kind of proud, too.
See? Jing Yichen might be conceited and wild, but now he needed his help. That basically meant that he was capable as well.
The men outside the cellar were all Jing Zhongxiu and Jing Yichen’s men and were being directed by him at the moment. It made Jing Yiran feel that he had become a king.
That sense of power made him rather glad and he was in a fairly good mood.
That was why he had been smiling at Tang Shunian all this while.
Jing Yiran was quite confident about finishing Tang Shunian off.
Starting last week, he had started to collaborate with Jing Yichen to carry out intensive research about Tang Shunian. Through that, Jing Yichen not only got to know about this underground kingdom but also managed to send a mole into Tang Shunian’s team, who had drawn a concise path of this place.
Due to the limited time, Jing Yichen’s man was not able to figure out everything, and that was why today’s events did not go smoothly.
Jing Yichen even got someone to make a code breaker based on the doors here. But again, due to limited time, only a rough one was made, but it was enough for Tang Shunian’s doors.
With victory around the corner, Jing Yiran did not care about Tang Shunian’s words. He leaned against the sofa and stared at Tang Shunian with his beautiful pair of eyes. “It is not going to work if I let you leave first. What if my woman is trapped inside once you go away? What is more, who knows whether or not you will keep your word? I will be devastated if you are safe and still ignite the bomb inside!”
“You don’t need to worry about that. I can make a promise. I won’t touch your woman, because her existence does not affect me. I only need Jing Zhongxiu and Jing Yichen to die!”
“Oh? That doesn’t work.”
Hands blocking his ears, Jing Yiran tried to stop himself from hearing that loud booming sound.
Tang Shunian was also feeling a buzzing sound in his ears due to the bombs. His cellar might not get destroyed, but the steel made the outside noises become louder, and the whole room was feeling strong vibrations now.
When he heard Jing Yiran denying his proposal, he got increasingly uneasy.
“Why not?!”
“You may not be aware of something. My woman has another name apart from Lu!”
Jing Yiran sat with his legs crossed and watched Tang Shunian who was at the verge of bursting into anger. He had not tormented someone in this way in a very long time!
Tormenting psychologically was much worse than physical tormenting. What was more, Tang Shunian did not seem to be strong enough to take it.
Tang Shunian almost went mental because of Jing Yiran’s stupid conversation.
He truly wanted to leave from here as soon as possible, and was not at all interested in hearing Jing Yiran’s story behind his woman’s name!
Ignoring his pain, Jing Yiran spoke in a dragging tone. “It is a long story! The story dates back to the time when I was injured by Jing Yichen. This woman came to visit me deep at night. I had always been suspecting her identity, but I never expected that she was that famous…”
Tang Shunian felt like he was going to have a breakdown. If Jing Yiran was going to tell him the story at this pace, he would have to listen to him for a thousand hours.
By that time, he would be dead because of the loud banging noises.
Tang Shunian bellowed furiously. “I don’t want to hear what her name is. I just want you to tell me why you won’t release me when I am promising to release your woman.”
