In an instant, Yang Bingningâs face changed. She had not expected the person to be so fast - not only had he evaded her leg attack, but he had also swooped in front of her, aiming at her abdomen. If his eagle claw had managed to grasp her, she feared she would have been gutted right there.
"Be careful!"
At that moment, Ye Luo abruptly spoke up, grabbed Yang Bingningâs shoulder, and pulled her back. The opponentâs eagle claw just grazed past her abdomen; although it did not slice open her stomach, the sharp talons tore her clothes, leaving five bloody marks on her abdomen and causing Yang Bingning to frown slightly.
"I told you to stay in the car, didnât I? But you had to play the hero. Do you think youâre a police officer that this guy would show mercy?"
Ye Luo said, his eyes on the dark figure, and spat out, "To lay a hand on such a beautiful woman, youâre really inhuman."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Luoâs body charged forward, appearing in front of the opponent like lightning, and threw a fierce punch with a surge of violent strength.
The opponentâs eyes narrowed, and his eagle claw struck out fiercely.
Bang!
A dull sound filled the air as the figure was forced to retreat continuously, and Ye Luo couldnât help but shake his hand.
"Damn, so tough that my hand hurts from punching."
Then the guy launched another attack on Ye Luo, his body radiating intense hostility, his eyes flashing a deadly glint, and his steel-made eagle claw whistled through the air with immense force.
Ye Luo sidestepped, avoiding the eagle claw, and reached out with one hand to grab his opponentâs wrist, delivering a punch directly to the otherâs arm.
Crack!
The opponentâs arm broke on the spot, and he let out a grunt of pain. Immediately after, his other hand shot out a dagger towards Ye Luo.
Ye Luo swiftly let go of the manâs hand and dodged away.
Right after that, the dark figure turned and shot off into the distance.
Ye Luo did not pursue but instead walked over to Yang Bingning and asked, "How do you feel now?"
By this time, Yang Bingningâs face was pale, with blood flowing from the claw marks on her abdomen.
"First, get in the back seat of the car."
Ye Luo instructed Yang Bingning, helping her to sit in the back of the vehicle.
"Take off your top," Ye Luo said directly.
"What?" The color drained from Yang Bingningâs face, and she gave Ye Luo a cold stare.
"Relax, Iâm not going to do anything bad. How am I supposed to treat your wound if you donât take off your top?"
After a momentâs hesitation, Yang Bingning still bit her lip and slowly removed her top.
Yang Bingning was wearing a T-shirt over her bra, and as she took it off, the black bra became visible to Ye Luo.
"Donât look, hurry up!"
Yang Bingning commanded in a low voice.
"Oh, donât worry, itâs no problem just to look," Ye Luo said lightly, then took out a silver needle and swiftly pierced her abdomen with it. A stream of Nine Yang True Qi flowed from his body into hers, and gradually, the five wounds on her abdomen began to heal rapidly.
In less than twenty seconds, all five wounds had closed up, leaving no trace of scars, and then Ye Luo put away the silver needle.
Yang Bingning, upon seeing this, looked at Ye Luo with surprise in her eyes.
"Howâs that? Arenât you starting to admire me now? Suddenly finding yourself falling for me, right?" Ye Luo said with a playful smile looking at Yang Bingning.
"Get lost!"
Yang Bingning sent a kick flying, knocking Ye Luo to the ground.
"Come on, I just healed you, and this is how you treat me? That really hurts my feelings."
Ye Luo rubbed his chest and complained.
By the time Ye Luo returned to Luo Jingxuanâs villa, it was already two or three in the morning.
"Neither of you have slept yet?"
Ye Luo walked in and saw both women sitting on the sofa; he couldnât help saying.
"Ye Luo, youâre back."
Seeing Ye Luo return, Yan Ling suddenly stood up and rushed to Ye Luoâs side.
"Ye Luo, are you alright?"
"Uh, Iâm fine."
Ye Luo gazed deeply at the unforgettable E Bee, then, with a slight shift of his eyes, he spoke.
"You were actually released? Donât tell me you escaped."
Luo Jingxuanâs eyes were fixed on Ye Luo, flashing a trace of astonishment.
"How could you think that of me? Iâm an upright young man; how could I possibly escape? I just went to cooperate with the investigation. That guyâs death has nothing to do with me, so the kind police uncle let me go; otherwise, they would still be holding me."
Ye Luo settled himself on the sofa and began speaking.
"Itâs good youâre back; you donât know how worried you made me."
Yan Ling looked at Ye Luo and couldnât help saying.
"Oh, Sister Yan is so worried about me, you couldnât have fallen for me, could you?"
"Tsk, me fall for a little brother like you? I could never fall for you, but you did save my life, so of course, Iâd be worried about you."
"Really? Since I saved you, Sister, according to the story, shouldnât you repay me by giving yourself to me?"
Ye Luo teased.
Yan Lingâs face flushed red, and she said, "Sister doesnât like little brats. Iâm off to bed. Sleeping too late is bad for the skin."
Saying that, Yan Ling went back to her room.
"I might not know how you got out, but Che Corporation isnât going to let this go; they could still come after you, so be careful."
Luo Jingxuan said, once again advising Ye Luo.
"I know, you and that beautiful police officer said the same thing; donât worry so much about me. My master said there probably arenât many people in this world capable of killing me. If it really comes down to it, Iâll just get the old man to come out of hiding, see who else dares to act tough."
"From now on, just be more careful, and try not to stir up too much trouble. As for getting my grandfather to come out of retirement, thatâs unlikely; he wonât come out that easily."
Luo Jingxuan said a few words and then went back to her room.
"Iâm not going to think about it too much. Time to sleep!"
Ye Luo jumped into his room and fell asleep without any worries.
The next day, inside a five-star hotel suite in Zhonghai.
A line of figures dressed in suits stood solemnly, heads bowed.
Among these people, a young man in a white suit with a sinister face sat in the middle, exuding a chill.
"I want to know what happened?"
"Boss, we only received the news a few hours ago. The Zhonghai police have released that person. As for the reason, it wasnât disclosed."
A middle-aged man in a suit, with hands clasped in front of him, addressed the young man. Although he was speaking in Chinese, it sounded somewhat awkward.
