Ye Huan's cold gaze immediately met a pair of eyes filled with pitiful helplessness.
Liu Tianyun was only wearing a thin silk nightgown, hugging her knees in the corner of the room, shivering as she cast a fearful glance at the newcomer.
Beside her were a few harmless little snakes left by Jiang Tiansha for her "entertainment."
The snakes crawled in front of her, over her.
Countless times, she fainted from fright only to wake up in terror again.
Sighing, she bit her lip and buried her head in her knees, trying not to look at the snakes in order to alleviate her fear.
Seeing Ye Huan, her first feeling was joy, followed by anxiousness.
"You...why are you here..."
"No, you must leave immediately! That...that guy named Jiang Tiansha...he's a monster, he...he can change bullet trajectories with his bare hands!"
"Leave while he's not here, just go, don't worry about me, otherwise you'll die here!"
Ye Huan flicked out a few toothpicks, killing all the little snakes, then said, "Jiang Tiansha is dead."
Liu Tianyun's eyes widened, her mouth agape enough to fit a rock.
The "monster" who could wave his hand to change the trajectory of bullets was actually dead?
"Sorry for being a bit late, Jiang Tiansha didn't harm you, did he?" Ye Huan sighed, his face showing a hint of apology.
"No, he...he said he would...kill you first, then..."
After a moment of silence, knowing Jiang Tiansha was dead, Liu Tianyun's fear dissipated considerably, and tears streamed uncontrollably, as she buried her head in her legs, not wanting Ye Huan to see her in such an embarrassing moment.
At the same time, she felt deeply moved.
She felt moved that Ye Huan came to rescue her.
Ye Huan patted her back as an act of comfort.
If in the past, any physical contact with Ye Huan would have made Liu Tianyun instantly bristle.
But this time, she didn't react that way.
Because she felt at ease.
Her heart was filled with a sense of security.
Ye Huan saw no "agitated" reaction from her and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He felt very puzzled.
Why did Liu Tianyun remind him so much of that "little snot"?
He remembered in the welfare home, that little snot, because of her dark skin and unattractive looks, was often teased and bullied by the ringleaders, always hugging her knees and crying in some unknown corner.
Ye Huan also used to pat her back for comfort. Always read at the source—*.
And now, Liu Tianyun's expression and actions felt incredibly familiar to Ye Huan, which is why he subconsciously patted her back.
Half an hour later, Liu Tianyun timidly wiped her eyes and lifted her head.
But still, due to tense emotions for too long, she fainted, and was later carried onto a stretcher along with Kagami Reina by medical staff.
Ye Huan's gaze returned to its icy demeanor. After leaving the suite, he returned to the front of the building, grabbed Jiang Tiansha's head, and with a "bang," tossed it into the trunk of a Rolls-Royce Phantom.
He sat in the driver's seat and started the car.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom roared away, getting onto the National Highway G-01 in less than ten minutes.
The only highway connecting the City of Celestial Sea and the Capital City!
Destination: Huaxia—The Zhong Family of the Capital City!
On the road outside the abandoned building, after more than an hour's tireless effort, special service agents and the supporting police officers and medical staff finally rescued all the tens of thousands of women and children, sending them off in ambulances.
Due to an insufficient number of ambulances, even emergency support was called in from other provinces and cities.
"General Ye, according to the investigation, the vast majority of these people are missing persons registered with the police department."
Qin Guangming ran over and saluted Ye Tiance, his expression extremely serious.
"As expected, Jiang Tiansha and his group have resumed their despicable human trafficking business of eighteen years ago." Ye Tiance's face turned ashen as he sternly said, "Our Special Service Bureau will assist you in the investigation of this matter. This time we must catch all the criminals behind Jiang Tiansha in one fell swoop!"
Just after speaking, he furrowed his brow slightly.
Including himself, nobody among the tens of thousands of special service agents around the abandoned building realized there was such a huge underground base for hiding people.
It was only by following Ye Huan into the building that they got a glimpse.
Could it be... that Ye Huan knew something?
"Where is Ye Huan?" Ye Tiance asked.
"Oh, after his wife, Miss Liu, fainted and was sent to the ambulance, he left," Qin Guangming said, his expression noticeably odd.
Knowing Ye Huan is the God of Slaughter, he uttered Ye Huan's name with not the same casualness as before.
"Left? Where did he go?" Ye Tiance frowned.
"He seems to have..." Qin Guangming thought for a moment and replied, "He drove onto the National Highway G-01, heading towards the Capital City."
Heading to the Capital?
Not staying with his unconscious wife, going to the Capital for no reason?
Something isn't right.
Ye Tiance's face turned serious, and he commanded in a fierce voice:
"Everyone, return to the Capital City with me at the fastest speed!"
"The destination of that Rolls-Royce Phantom is our destination, pursue it!"
"Fully armed, bullets in the chamber!"
