The call wasn't for anyone else, it was Cat!

Just now, Ye Qiu was in a rush to go downstairs, and that's when he understood.

The reason the opponent kidnapped Lan Ying was probably to lure him away.

Because Lan Ying, a defenseless little girl, was of no real use to them.

If there was one use she had, it could only be to threaten him, Ye Qiu.

Their real target was likely still the Bai Group!

However, knowing it was a diversion, Ye Qiu had to go anyway!

Since the enemies dared to target Lan Ying, they knew this was his weakness.

If Ye Qiu didn't go, the other side might go crazy and kill!

But if he went, the Bai Group would definitely be in danger.

After thinking it over, the only foolproof plan was to find Cat.

Cat's phone was unreachable all the time.

"Cat! Listen up, I need to leave the Bai Group for a while now, try to get here as soon as possible and make sure to secure the Bai Group as well as Bai Lan's safety!"

Without wasting words, Ye Qiu got straight to the point.

"What happened?"

Cat had never seen Ye Qiu so anxious and couldn't help but ask.

"Time is tight, I'll explain later, just hurry over! Remember, you must secure the Bai Group and Bai Lan's safety!"

Ye Qiu really didn't want to waste more time, instructed repeatedly, and then hung up the phone.

With Cat's efficiency, he believed someone would arrive in less than five minutes.

Within five minutes, the Bai Group shouldn't be in any danger.

Quickly putting away his phone, Ye Qiu got into the car and headed straight for the abandoned warehouse in the suburbs.

Speeding along the road, fortunately, there weren't many vehicles halfway through.

But when he encountered a red light, he had to stop.

The car had just stopped when a luxurious sports car slowly stopped next to him.

The window rolled down slowly, and the person in the driver's seat was originally going to flick ash from his cigarette, but when he saw Ye Qiu waiting at the red light, he jumped as if he'd seen a ghost.

A shiver ran through him, and neglecting to flick the ash, he rolled the window up, turned the car around, and drove off the wrong way…

Watching the car drive away, Ye Qiu sneered.

It was no surprise to him that the person reacted this way!

Because the person with his head wrapped in bandages was Zhang Fan...

But Ye Qiu didn't have the heart to deal with him now, nor did he chase him, letting him go.

Instead, Zhang Fan only stopped the car at a distant intersection!

Damn!

He roared, baring his teeth.

Pounding his fists on the steering wheel, it was fine, but he caught his breath from the pain.

"Why am I running? Since when have I been so cowardly?"

Zhang Fan mocked himself, looking in the rearview mirror.

When was he ever this scared?

Wasn't it always others hiding from him from afar?

How come it's him today?

Why does he feel like a mouse seeing a cat when he sees Ye Qiu?

It's so undignifying!

He was furious with embarrassment, wishing he could slap himself.

He raised his hand high but couldn't bring it down!

Who hits themselves?

Doesn't it hurt?

Zhang Fan snorted, shook his head, and his gaze gradually turned cold.

"Just you wait, I'll find a top-notch expert to take you down hard..."

...

While Zhang Fan was seething, Ye Qiu had already parked his car at the entrance of a warehouse in the suburbs.

Passing through a shaded path and bypassing dead branches and withered willows, Ye Qiu slowly walked to the warehouse door.

This warehouse had been abandoned for a long time, a weathered lock on the large iron door was rusted all over.

"Here!"

Ye Qiu murmured to himself.

Frowning, he carefully examined the warehouse.

Such a warehouse was already covered in cobwebs, with no sign of life.

He carefully surveyed the surroundings and found three more large warehouses.

The address Lan Ying sent only indicated an approximate location, not a specific one.

Ye Qiu slowly began to search the other warehouses.

"Ha ha! Seems like catching you was a mistake, Demon King wouldn't come at all!"

"Alright, stop wasting time, quickly deal with the two of them, I don't want to stay in such a dump!"

"Yeah! Take care of them, don't leave any traces!"

In a warehouse not far from Ye Qiu, a group of people gathered.

The leader was a gentle-looking middle-aged man.

Though he looked gentle, his words were viciously sharp.

Hearing his order, two underlings nodded, slowly drew their guns from their waists, and aimed at the two sitting on the ground.

The pair, a man and a woman, were Lan Ying and her cousin Marriott.

Both were tied up like mummies, with no ability to resist.

The two underlings released the safety, aimed the guns at Lan Ying, and slowly placed their fingers on the triggers.

Bam!

Just as they were about to pull the trigger, their heads were suddenly struck hard by someone.

Both had little hair, and the slap was solid, leaving a sting!

"Damn! Are you two idiots? Who told you to use guns? Afraid of attracting attention?"

It was the middle-aged leader who struck them.

He glared at the two underlings and scolded angrily.

"What should we use if not guns for killing?"

The two underlings, hit and confused, were further reprimanded by the middle-aged man and were clearly displeased.

"Use knives!"

The middle-aged man cursed fiercely.

Seen stupid ones before, but never this stupid...

"Oh... that's right!"

"The boss is really smart!"

The two underlings realized instantly, putting away their guns and pulling out short blades from their waists.

"Can you use guns?"

At this point, Marriott almost felt like crying.

He just came to have fun, who knew it would turn into such a big mess?

He knew he was destined to die today!

If he had to die, he'd prefer it to be quick!

Guns would be quicker than knives, so he pleaded once.

"No can do!"

The two underlings coldly refused.

Someone who's about to die, still making demands?

Seeing their attitude, Marriott felt completely hopeless.

"Alright cousin, don't waste words with them, if they dare kill us, Brother Ye will settle the score with them later!"

Lan Ying, perhaps scared or trying to muster courage, spoke to comfort him.

"Whoa... this girl's got some guts, huh! What a pity!"

"Hey boss, us brothers have been holding out for too long! This girl's such a beauty, just killing her, wouldn't that be a waste?"

The underlings behind the middle-aged man were instantly attracted to Lan Ying.

They'd long coveted her beauty, only never had the chance to speak...

"Hmm! Just this once. First take care of this guy, as for the girl, I'll give you an hour..."
