Just after being thrown into the lake, seven beautiful women blocked the door calling him "husb

"Follow it!"

Sun Miao's fingers danced rapidly on the controller, and the drone turned nimbly.

Follow closely the glaring yellow line on the screen.

That line is poison.

It is a sin.

It was the lament of more than forty lives lost.

"Buzz..."

The drone flew at a low altitude, silently skimming the treetops.

The group of five followed along the rugged mountain path, using the dim light from their mobile phone screens as they made their way forward.

Qin Kexin was wearing high heels and was clearly not used to the road conditions, almost twisting her ankle several times.

Wang Hao tried to help her up, but she subtly avoided him.

She simply followed silently behind Chen Ye.

Gritting their teeth, they took each difficult but determined step.

This woman...

A vague sense of irritation flashed through Chen Ye's mind.

This place is dangerous. Why would a pampered law firm elite like her come along to join in the fun?

But looking at her stubborn back, he just couldn't bring himself to say any curses.

The deeper we went into the valley.

The familiar stench of chemicals in the air grew stronger, almost making people want to vomit.

Finally, the bright yellow thermal reaction line stretched to the end of the screen.

A huge ravine, covered by weeds and vines.

"This is it!" Zhou Yi said in a low voice.

The group parted the waist-high grass.

The scene before them made everyone hold their breath.

That's not a mountain stream.

It was a huge, dark, sewage lake that emitted eerie white steam.

A layer of colorful oil slick floated on the lake's surface, gleaming nauseatingly in the moonlight.

The soil along the lake was an abnormal dark brown, and nothing grew there.

A cement pipe thicker than a person.

It looks like a monster's gaping maw is emerging from a hidden spot on the mountainside.

"Glug... Glug..."

A dark brown, foamy, viscous liquid.

It is continuously gushing out of the pipes and flowing into this sewage lake.

That pungent stench emanates from here.

This is the source of evil in the New Century Chemical Plant.

A secret sewage discharge destination that doesn't exist on any map.

Wang Hao's face turned bright red. He took out his phone, his hands shaking so much he could barely focus.

"Take pictures! Take pictures of everything!"

Zhou Yi and Sun Miao's reactions were much more professional.

Sun Miao quickly retrieved the drone and put it into his backpack.

Zhou Yi then took out professional sampling equipment from his backpack.

Two sealed glass bottles and a long sampling rod.

He put on thick, corrosion-resistant gloves and carefully walked to the lakeside.

Insert the sampling rod into the black, toxic water.

"laugh--"

A slight white smoke appeared the moment the metal head of the sampling rod came into contact with the sewage.

This water is incredibly corrosive.

Zhou Yi remained calm, quickly took two bottles of water samples, sealed them with a sealing strip, and affixed labels.

"Done."

Wang Hao and Sun Miao have also taken a large number of photos and videos from different angles.

"Attorney Chen, the evidence is conclusive!" Wang Hao said, suppressing his excitement.

Chen Ye nodded.

His gaze, however, fell on Qin Kexin, who was not far away.

She stood there, looking at the lake of death before her, her body trembling slightly.

It's not because I'm afraid.

It's because of anger.

That face, always refined and calm.

This scene is filled with the most instinctive anger and disgust that ordinary people feel when they see evil.

"withdraw!"

Chen Ye gave the order.

Having obtained the evidence, it is not advisable to linger here.

The group immediately returned the way they came, walking much faster than when they came.

Victory is in sight.

In everyone's heart, there was a suppressed excitement, a excitement that was about to ignite a storm.

The car was parked in the woods a hundred meters away.

In the distance, the blurry outline of the Mercedes-Benz could already be seen.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then!

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Several blinding beams of flashlight suddenly lit up from the path they had come from, enveloping them all!

"stop!"

A loud shout rang out in the silent mountain forest.

The sounds of hurried footsteps and shouts were coming from all directions towards them!

[Damn! We've been spotted!]

Chen Ye's heart sank.

It's that drone!

The other party must have noticed something amiss in the monitoring room and sent someone over!

Or rather, there has always been someone guarding this sewage outlet!

"run!"

Chen Ye roared and shoved Wang Hao on the back.

The five people reacted instantly and ran towards the parking lot.

The pursuers behind them were moving extremely fast; they were clearly thugs who had been doing dirty work for years.

"Damn it! Don't let them get away!"

"Seize those city bastards!"

The wind whistled in my ears, and my heart pounded wildly.

The car is right in front of me!

Zhou Yi was the first to rush to the car and open the door.

Sun Miao followed closely behind.

Wang Hao, pulling Qin Kexin who could barely run, stumbled and fell into the car.

Chen Ye was the last one.

He glanced back.

Eight or nine burly men wielding sticks had caught up to within five meters of him!

That's too late!

If he gets on the bus now, before it even starts moving, he'll be surrounded by this group of people!

At that time, none of them will be able to escape!

"Drive! Let's go!"

Chen Ye shouted hoarsely into the car.

"Quickly! Go call the police!"

"Lawyer Chen!" Wang Hao cried out anxiously, pounding on the car window.

Zhou Yi, sitting in the driver's seat, was also stunned, his foot trembling as he pressed the accelerator.

go?

Are you just going to leave Chen Ye here all by himself?

"Listen to him! Drive!" Sun Miao reacted the fastest and shouted at Zhou Yi.

"If we all stay here, who's going to call the police!"

Zhou Yi gritted his teeth and was about to start the car.

Just then.

"Squeak—"

The back door, which had just been closed, was suddenly pushed open again.

Qin Kexin jumped out of the car!

Her face was deathly pale, her breathing rapid, and her chest heaving violently.

"Drive away! Call the police!"

She turned around and shouted this sentence to the people in the car.

He then resolutely turned around and ran to Chen Ye to stand beside him.

This crazy woman!

Chen Ye's mind went blank with a "buzz".

He wanted to swear.

He wanted to grab her and put her back in the car.

But it was all too late.

Zhou Yi looked at the two people outside the car and at the thugs getting closer and closer, and finally made up his mind.

He slammed on the gas!

The Mercedes roared, its headlights piercing the darkness.

Like a wild beast, it charged out of the mountain road!

The flashlight beams and the thugs' shouts instantly engulfed Chen Ye and Qin Kexin.

"Damn it, three got away!"

"It's alright! There are still two left!"

The bald man at the head of the group, carrying a gleaming steel pipe, walked toward Chen Ye with a sinister grin.

Eight or nine people surrounded the two of them.

It was completely blocked.

Qin Kexin had never seen anything like this before.

Terrified, she trembled all over and instinctively grabbed Chen Ye's clothes.

Chen Ye could feel the coldness and trembling of her fingertips.

He silently protected her behind him.

[Eight men, all armed.]

A direct confrontation is definitely not going to work.

Chen Ye's brain was working at lightning speed.

Before he transmigrated, he delivered food and worked as a male escort. In the chaotic underworld, he got into quite a few fights.

In a one-on-one situation, he's not afraid.

Even against three opponents, they can put up a fight.

The current situation can be summed up in one word.

dead.

Trying to reason with these desperados about the law?

That's something only an idiot would do.

"Gentlemen, why aren't you sleeping? Are you playing hide-and-seek here so late at night?"

Chen Ye even had a nonchalant smile on his face.

Delay the time.

Wait for the police to arrive.

This is the only way to survive.

"Kid, you've got guts." The bald man pointed a steel pipe at Chen Ye's nose.

"Was that drone you guys used?"

"What drone?" Chen Ye asked innocently.

"We got lost on our date here."

"Brother, could you do us a favor and let us through?"

"Dating?"

A punk rocker behind the bald man burst into unrestrained laughter.

His gaze swept over Qin Kexin without restraint.

"This girl's pretty good, awesome!"

"Brother, since we've already arrested him, why not let the brothers have some fun too?"

The language was foul and offensive, and it was unbearable to hear.

Qin Kexin's face instantly lost all color.

The smile on Chen Ye's face gradually faded.

【court death.】

The ruthlessness that belonged to the lowest strata of gangsters in his heart was completely stirred up.

"Dude, watch your mouth."

"What? You're not convinced?" The punk took a step forward.

He used the baton in his hand to tap Chen Ye's chest repeatedly.

"A pretty-boy lawyer, trying to play the hero and save the damsel in distress?"

"I'll teach you what rules are today!"

Before he could finish speaking...

A gust of evil wind swept in from behind Chen Ye!

Someone attacked!

[Damn it! No sportsmanship here!]

Chen Ye cursed inwardly, his body reacting instinctively as he abruptly turned to the side.

But it was still a step too late.

He was prepared to take a hard hit.

However, the expected excruciating pain did not come.

Instead, an uncontrollable scream erupted from the woman!

"ah--!"

Chen Ye suddenly turned around.

He saw Qin Kexin rush out from behind him without him noticing.

He was curled up on the ground, clutching his arm in pain.

A baton fell to the ground beside her.

The man who attacked from behind.

He clearly hadn't expected to hit a woman, and stood there stunned.

Everything around us seemed to have stopped.

Chen Ye looked at the man lying on the ground, clutching his arm and trembling with pain.

Qin Kexin's eyes welled up with tears, but she stubbornly refused to cry out.

Her smart suit was now covered in mud.

Her usually refined face was now contorted with pain.

Did she... shield me from it?

boom--!

An indescribable rage erupted, like a volcanic eruption.

In an instant, it shot from the soles of Chen Ye's feet straight to the top of his head!

reason.

calculating.

camouflage.

At that moment, it was burned to ashes!

In his world, all that remained was Qin Kexin's pale face and that painful scream.

Chen Ye slowly raised his head.

That face that had previously worn a roguish smile.

At this moment, there is no trace of human emotion left.

All that remained was a chilling killing intent, enough to devour a person.

He looked at the man who had attacked him.

He then glanced at the faces around him, each bearing a sinister grin and a look of astonishment.

His Adam's apple bobbed.

A single word was squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Hold."
