Chapter 120 Are you sure it's us who need to protect her?
Hearing what Jian Ning said.

Without exception, everyone stood up and followed closely behind Jian Ning.

Ever since they were captured by these bad guys, they have witnessed their inhuman killings and have lived in constant fear, never daring to resist.

Now that they have this chance to escape, none of them want to give it up.

This is the innate human desire to survive.

Jian Ning opened the door, and several wolfhounds voluntarily scouted ahead, possessing a superior sense of smell and innate alertness.

The group hadn't even reached the exit to the first floor yet.

The wolfhound turned around to warn, "Woof!" There were two bad guys ahead.

Jian Ning turned around and reminded her, "No matter what happens next, don't panic. If you encounter an unsafe situation, find a place to hide first, and then follow me when it's safe."

Everyone nodded.

Jian Ning took a few more steps forward and peeked out from around the corner, and sure enough, she saw two men.

They stood guard at the exit from the basement to the first floor.

The man's face contorted in anger as he raised a gun and threatened, "All of you, get back here right now!"

Some girls saw the gun and were so scared that they trembled all over and wanted to go back.

They went back to the house where they were imprisoned.

Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed the girl's arm, and a low but powerful voice said, "Don't be afraid. Do you still want to live that inhuman, ghostly life like before? Let's fight our way out together. The worst that can happen is we die."

Long Wu's words were not only heard by that one girl, but by all the girls around her.

The fear that had been rising within me seemed to vanish quickly under the weight of those powerful words.

What rises again is only unwavering courage.

"boom!"

A loud gunshot rang out.

The noise was so loud that the structure of the basement level itself had an echo effect, and the sound reverberated in everyone's ears.

Along with the gunshot, there was also a person's painful scream.

Everyone instinctively covered their ears and lowered their heads, thinking that the person had fired a shot to make an example of someone.

They've seen this tactic of making an example of someone to scare others many times in the past few days.

So they are forced to obey, and after seeing such scenes many times, they gradually go from being afraid, pitying and sympathizing to becoming numb.

After a few seconds, everyone calmed down and looked up.

As a result, a very strange scene unfolded.

The man with the gun didn't attack them at all; instead, he turned his attention to his companion.

A man was lying on the ground with a gunshot wound to his leg. He was howling in pain and cursing, "Damn it, I told you not to scare these women, why did you hit me?"

The man with the gun seemed to be jolted awake by the gunshot, as if waking from a dream. Looking at his fallen comrade, he murmured, "I... I don't know why I shot at you..."

Before he could finish speaking, the gun in his hand fired again.

This time, the companion who fell to the ground closed his eyes forever.

A gunshot rang out, jolting him awake from his daze once more.

The man looked at his companion lying dead in a pool of blood with a strange expression, and finally his gaze fell on Jian Ning.

He recognized Jian Ning's face; it was someone the organization had repeatedly instructed them to capture alive after the wrong person was arrested.

He remembered what the organization had told him—Jian Ning was a bit strange, so he had to be careful.

"It's you, it must be you!"

He gritted his teeth, and the next second, his eyes went blank as the dark muzzle of a gun was pointed at his temple.

The third shot rang out.

The two obstacles blocking our way are gone.

The threads of Jian Ning's spiritual power retracted rapidly at the moment of death.

She's exhausted too much spiritual energy tonight and is feeling extremely dizzy. Although she's only at the second level of Qi Refining, she doesn't know how high that level is in the real cultivation world, but her level is definitely exaggerated.

Even when she was able to stabilize her Qi Refining stage, it was because Teacher Su couldn't bear to see it and forcibly used his own cultivation to help her stabilize it.

After enduring the dizziness, Jian Ning felt another sharp pain in her head. She swallowed and turned to the others, saying, "Let's go."

She entered the password and opened the door to the basement level.

There are twenty-three steps leading to the first floor. The wolfhound had already gone ahead to keep watch outside and then report the news.

"Woof~" There were many people fighting on the first floor, it was a complete mess, and the main door was locked.

"Woof~" The lock on the gate can only be forcibly opened by the key on their boss's person.

"Woof~" The window railings here are also specially made, making them very difficult to break.

Jian Ning climbed the stairs and saw a very chaotic scene.

The police are trying to subdue these bad guys, but they are outnumbered and the main gate is keeping reinforcements out.

Someone sat on the second-floor railing, pointing and shouting as if he were surveying the landscape: "That woman in the brown coat is Jian Ning! We can ignore everyone else for now. We must capture Jian Ning alive. Whoever captures her will receive a reward of 100,000."

Jian Ning: "..."

She had only one thought in her mind: Damn, I'm so amazing, and this is all I'm worth?

I simply can't stand it.

Jian Ning spoke up, her voice filled with anger: "A reward of only 100,000? Who do you think you are? Whoever catches that idiot who just spoke up on the second floor, I'll give them 20 million."

Among the people surging towards her, some actually listened to what she said, paused for a moment, and looked on with expressions of calculating which deal was more worthwhile.

But the others aren't stupid; they all know the principle that you might have the life to take it, but not the life to spend it.

Moreover, Jian Ning was just saying it casually; she didn't even have 20 million herself.

Making sarcastic or unsettling remarks has always been her forte; after all, she's just spouting nonsense, it has no legal effect, and it's not illegal.

She saw seven or eight men rushing towards her menacingly.

Jian Ning tried to concentrate her spiritual power, but only felt a sharp pain in her head; her spiritual power was insufficient to support the Illusionary Dream Heart Sutra.

Right now, there's only one most primitive method—fighting bare-handed.

Fortunately, she practices a few moves whenever she has free time, and her physical fitness has improved thanks to the system rewards.

A fist came flying at her, and Jian Ning immediately reached out and caught it. With a forceful pull, she heard the sound of bones cracking.

The man screamed in pain, but Jian Ning held him tightly and threw him at another person who tried to grab Jian Ning, using him as a punching bag.

The two of them fell to the ground together.

More and more people flocked to Jianing.

The wolfhounds bared their teeth, displaying their most ferocious intent, trying to scare the people away.

But these people aren't afraid of a few dogs.

Several wolfhounds saw that warnings to them had no effect.

So, whenever anyone tried to harm Jian Ning, they would pounce and bite. Even if someone punched them on the head several times, they would bite and hold on tightly, managing to tear a chunk of flesh from the person's body, leaving a bloody scene.

The already chaotic scene turned into one where most people wanted to capture Jian Ning alive.

It wasn't just because of the 100,000 yuan, but also because it was the branch leader's request.

As long as they are alive, they should be willing to risk their lives for the organization.

Fu Sheng also noticed the situation and shouted, "Protect Jian Ning!"

He rushed to Jian Ning's side with several capable assistants, intending to protect her, only to find her locked in a brutal fight with the group of criminals.

Jian Ning knocked one person down with a single punch, causing the person to spit out a mouthful of blood.

He knocked down another person with one punch, making their face swollen like a steamed bun.

She not only managed to take down anyone who charged at her, but also helped a captured policeman escape.

The person next to Fu Sheng stared wide-eyed and asked incredulously, "Captain Fu, are you sure it's us who are supposed to protect her, and not her who's protecting us against ten men all by herself?"
