Gao Wu: I'll enjoy the benefits, but you'll bear the side effects.

In this open space, a group of fierce-looking people quickly surrounded them like a tidal wave.

On the ground, the Qin family members lay scattered, their blood staining the surrounding soil, and the pungent smell of blood permeated the air. Clearly, they had met with misfortune, and this was no small matter that could be easily dismissed.

These people knew that if they didn't arrest someone to report back now, they would face consequences from their superiors and their days would be numbered. So they set their sights on Xu Rourou.

"Little brat, surrender right now and stop resisting, or we'll all rush in and kill you, you hear me?"

A burly man with a face full of scars shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice revealing undisguised ferocity and threat.

"That's right! Your father actually ran away with your sister! You guys are so shameless! We already agreed on a price with the Xu family, and you still did this. Don't you think you're being incredibly rude?"

Another man with a pointed snout and monkey-like face chimed in, his eyes full of mockery and cunning.

Xu Rourou was burning with anger. She glared at the two people who were speaking and launched an attack without hesitation.

She moved with lightning speed, like an angry little lion, and charged towards the two men in an instant.

She first delivered a sharp side slam, sending the burly man with a face full of scars flying backward like a cannonball. Then, with a nimble turn, she kicked the weasel-faced fellow, striking him precisely in the neck. With a crisp crack, both men died instantly.

Xu Rourou knew perfectly well that in this isolated and helpless situation, she had almost no one to rely on except herself.

Therefore, when she made her move, she did not hesitate at all, and every move she made was steady, accurate and ruthless, disregarding life and death.

However, reality was cruel; there were far too many people on the other side, densely packed around, like a pack of wolves eyeing their prey.

Even though Xu Rourou was highly skilled in martial arts, she gradually felt overwhelmed by the countless enemies.

Xu Rourou was in a state of utter despair.

She kept waving her arms, desperately resisting the attacks coming from all directions, but the enemies came wave after wave, seemingly without end.

Her strength was rapidly depleting; sweat soaked her clothes and streamed down her face, and her breathing became increasingly rapid.

She knew that if things continued like this, it wouldn't be long before she was worn down to death by these people.

However, Xu Rourou's stubbornness and unwillingness to give up made her unwilling to give up so easily.

Xu Rourou was still fighting with these people, her eyes filled with determination.

Although she didn't know how long she could hold out, in her heart, as long as she had a little strength left, it was much better than surrendering.

She weaved through the crowd, constantly breaking free from her attackers' grasp, each escape followed by a new wave of attacks. Just as she grew increasingly exhausted and was about to collapse, something unexpected suddenly occurred…

The hidden expert in the Qin family was actually a fourth-tier powerhouse. Such strength was enough to strike fear into the hearts of people in this region, which was truly unexpected.

"Interesting, little girl. What do you mean by this? Are you actually going to resist?" He said with a contemptuous smile, his tone mocking, his eyes scrutinizing a lamb to the slaughter.

"To tell you the truth, we're not bad people. We'll definitely go easy on you when we strike. Why are you resisting so much, little girl?"

A henchman standing nearby quickly chimed in, trying to undermine Xu Rourou's fighting spirit with words.

"If you're a good girl, we promise we won't kill you. We'll definitely treat you very gently, okay?"

Even more outrageous was the lewd fellow who uttered extremely frivolous words, eliciting laughter from those around him.

Hearing these words, Xu Rourou felt a surge of anger, and couldn't help but sneer, replying fearlessly:

"Go home and pamper your mom. If you dare lay a finger on me, believe me, I'll kill you right now!"

Her voice was clear yet firm, like a sharp sword.

The other party was furious that a seemingly weak girl would dare to be so assertive.

He flashed forward like a ghost, his speed creating a whistling sound.

Although Xu Rourou was prepared, the other party was too fast. Just as she tried to dodge to the side, her arms were firmly controlled by the other party's iron-like hands.

She struggled desperately, kicking at her opponent repeatedly, but her attacks were easily neutralized.

Immediately afterward, before Xu Rourou could react further, the other party raised his fist high and delivered a heavy punch to her like a cannonball.

This punch carried the powerful force of a fourth-level expert. Xu Rourou was hit hard and felt a sharp pain. Her body flew backward like a kite with a broken string and crashed heavily to the ground. She was seriously injured and blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

This kid even pretended to wave his hand, telling everyone else to leave, seemingly wanting to enjoy his "prey" all to himself.

He licked his lips, a twisted smile spreading across his face:

"You know what? The first time I saw your picture, I was immediately smitten. I was always wondering why there were such beautiful women in the world. But now I know the answer. There are many beautiful women, but you are the most beautiful one. Be good, don't move, let me enjoy myself slowly. I promise I won't go too far with you, okay?"

Hearing such disgusting words, Xu Rourou was filled with despair and even wanted to bite her tongue and commit suicide, determined not to let this evil person succeed.

And the other person's sinful hand was slowly taking control of him, and even began to reach inside his clothes.

Xu Rourou was filled with resentment, but unfortunately she was injured and trapped and unable to do anything, otherwise she would have definitely torn him to pieces.

Her eyes burned with hatred as she stared intently at the other person, as if she wanted to pierce through him with her gaze.

But at this critical moment, Gao Jie appeared out of nowhere, sneaking up from behind.

He carefully concealed his presence, slowly approaching using the surrounding cover.

The Qin family expert was so engrossed in his evil deeds that his mind was clouded by desire that he never imagined anyone would dare to ambush him.

Gao Jie gripped a golden dagger tightly in his hand, the dagger gleaming coldly in the dim light.

He crouched low, his steps as light as a feather as he slowly approached his target.

When he was only a few steps away from the Qin family expert, he took a deep breath, exerted his strength, and pounced on his opponent like a cheetah pouncing on its prey.

As she approached her opponent, she raised the golden dagger high without hesitation and plunged it fiercely into his heart.

This thrust was imbued with all of Gao Jie's strength and rage, and its speed was extreme.

Despite being a fourth-tier expert, the Qin family master was caught completely off guard. He only felt a sharp pain before the cold dagger pierced his chest, and then he fell limply to the ground.

Gao Jie hurriedly pulled Xu Rourou up. He quickly checked Xu Rourou's injuries and saw that although she was injured, her condition was not too bad. He immediately moved her to the surrounding area.

He knew that this place was not safe to stay in for long and that he had to get Xu Rourou away from this dangerous situation as soon as possible.

With one hand supporting Xu Rourou and the other gripping a dagger, Gao Jie cautiously surveyed his surroundings, his steps hurried yet steady as he ran towards the distance.

For Gao Jie, the situation was extremely critical. If he continued to stay here, no one could predict what terrible things might happen next.

"Gao Jie, how did you know to come back and save me? I thought you guys had completely forgotten about me. I didn't expect you to actually remember to leave me behind."

Xu Rourou said weakly.

"My feet hurt so much, can you slow down?"

Gao Jie was extremely anxious and had no choice but to speed up his run.

At this critical moment of life and death, slowing down could mean falling into an abyss of no return. He had no time to think about anything else, his only thought was to get Xu Rourou out of this dangerous situation as soon as possible.

After running for a short while, Gao Jie, who was panting heavily, got some water and happened to see Boss Qi and his men who had come to meet them.

They got in the car and left together, and the matter was finally over. At least they escaped.

Once they entered Qi Laoda's territory, no matter how capable they were, the Qin family wouldn't dare to pursue them; Gao Jie was well aware of this.

He breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"To be honest, I really didn't expect things to turn out like this. It's terrible. What exactly is going on?"

Upon hearing Gao Jie's words, Xu Rourou burst into tears, seemingly believing that she had been abandoned.

Gao Jie kept comforting her, but Xu Rourou clung tightly to Gao Jie's neck out of fear.

Xu Wanwan, who was not far away, saw this and felt a little uncomfortable, but no one knew exactly why.

Gao Jie could only try his best to comfort him.

"We've already run back, don't worry. Nobody will dare to mess with us anymore, so don't take it to heart, okay?"

"Don't worry, even if someone dares to cause us trouble now, they absolutely cannot get close to this point. There's no problem at all."

Upon hearing these words, the other person nodded.

Qi Laoda stood there, his brows furrowed, his eyes revealing a hint of contemplation.

His fingers tapped the table unconsciously, making rhythmic sounds, as if each tap was a weighing of pros and cons.

After a long while, he slowly spoke:

"With so many of you, you can't just wander around like headless flies. How about this, I'll just find you a place to stay. You can go back to school for the next couple of days. After all, school is a special place. I don't believe that guy surnamed Qin would be so bold as to openly cause trouble at school! There are school rules and regulations there, and many teachers and students are watching. I doubt he would dare to do anything reckless."

Qi Laoda's voice was deep and powerful, carrying an unquestionable authority, trying to reassure everyone.

"Also, Xu Wenfeng, what exactly are you up to?"

Qi Laoda abruptly changed the subject, his sharp gaze shooting at Xu Wenfeng like a sword.

"Why do I get the feeling that you know quite a few things?"

His eyes were full of inquiry and suspicion, as if he wanted to dig the answer out of Xu Wenfeng's face.

Xu Wenfeng simply stood there quietly, his lips tightly pressed together, without saying a word.

His eyes were empty and forlorn, as if his soul had been ripped away.

Then, like a lost puppet, he walked blankly to the side, plopped down, leaned forward slightly, and let his hands hang limply between his knees, as if the surrounding noise was completely shut out from him.

Faced with this situation, everyone looked at each other, unsure of what to say. The air seemed to freeze, with only the soft breathing of the group and the sound of Boss Qi's fingers tapping on the table remaining.

After all, Xu Wenfeng is actually quite pitiful. Now that things have developed to this point, he seems to be trapped in a huge mystery, unable to extricate himself.

After the chaos and commotion subsided, the expert from the Qin family, whom everyone regarded as a powerful asset, was unexpectedly ambushed and killed without any warning.

This sudden situation was like a strange bolt of lightning, tearing through the calm night sky without warning, instantly leaving everyone present stunned and frozen in place.

Their eyes were wide open, their mouths slightly agape, and their faces were filled with disbelief, as if time had stopped flowing at that moment.

At this moment, Qin Hailong's younger brother, Qin Xianglong, walked over quickly with a sinister expression, like a demon crawling out of a dark abyss.

His piercing gaze, as if able to penetrate the hellfire of darkness, swept viciously over the expert lying on the ground, who should have already perished.

The anger in his heart was like a lit bomb, suddenly raging and almost consuming his reason.

Without a second thought, he raised his leg high, his leg muscles taut, veins bulging, and kicked out with tremendous force.

The kick seemed to shake the entire space, producing a dull thud.

"What are you still lying here for? The person has already escaped, are you still going to play dead?"

Qin Xianglong's voice, sharp and piercing with extreme anger, cut through the silent air like the cry of an owl.

His eyes were wide open, bloodshot and seemingly about to spit fire, staring intently at the person on the ground. His gaze seemed capable of devouring the person alive, sending chills down one's spine.

"Get your asses out here right now and show me what you've got up to! How did you manage to let them get away!"

He roared at the top of his lungs while wildly waving his arms, which whistled through the air like the scythe of death.

His emotions grew increasingly agitated, and he became like a mad, irrational wild beast, rampaging across the chaotic battlefield.

Upon hearing this, the expert, whom everyone had assumed had been killed by Gao Jie with his golden dagger, slowly moved his body, like a zombie crawling out of its grave.

His movements were stiff and slow, and with each movement, his joints made a chilling "crackling" sound.

He slowly got up, and there seemed to be an eerie aura surrounding his body.

Instead of showing any remorse or panic, he chuckled, a smile that seemed particularly abrupt and strange in the tense atmosphere, like a will-o'-the-wisp flickering in the darkness.

He grinned, a hint of smugness in his eyes, and said:

"I didn't expect you to see through my act. I remember what that kid looks like!"

His expression seemed to be one of smug satisfaction at his disguise skills, completely disregarding the serious consequences of the mission's failure and ignoring Qin Xianglong's fury that could crush him.

It was as if he had just experienced not a life-or-death crisis, but a trivial farce, and he was standing in the center of the stage, enjoying the "attention" of everyone.
