"Iâll give you one chance, who sent you?"
Ye Luo looked at these few men, his voice cold and commanding.
"Da da da!"
Ye Luoâs face turned stern as he quickly dodged to the side, the few attackers that he had subdued were all riddled with bullets and died on the spot.
The black sedan quickly disappeared into the night.
Ye Luoâs figure gradually emerged, his eyes coldly fixed on the seven corpses on the ground.
Within ten minutes, several police cars arrived, and Yang Bingning walked over in casual clothes.
"Officer Yang, you havenât gone home to rest so late at night?"
Ye Luo leaned against a power pole, his face sporting a lazy smile as he looked at Yang Bingning.
"Hmph, itâs all because you called me here, whatâs going on? Spill it."
Yang Bingningâs gaze swept over the scene and she looked at Ye Luo with a deep frown.
"I really donât know what happened. I was just about to go home, and then these guys suddenly burst out, guns blazing, shooting like madmen. Luckily, this handsome guy is agile and lucky, or I would have been a goner under their guns. That wouldâve been a great loss to this world, losing such a handsome man who makes flowers bloom just by being around."
"Shut up!"
Listening to Ye Luoâs nonsense, Yang Bingning directly ordered, and immediately Ye Luo obediently closed his mouth.
"So basically, youâve antagonized another enemy, and they sent people to kill you, right?"
"That seems to be the case, just donât let me find out who it is, or brother will definitely show them why the flowers are so red."
Ye Luo said fiercely.
"Hmph, you sure have a lot of enemies. Theyâve gone to such lengths to kill you, be careful or one day someone will just shoot you dead."
Yang Bingning glanced at Ye Luo and snorted coldly.
"Ah, Officer Yang, you have to protect me, Iâm so scared!"
Ye Luo shouted and suddenly rushed in front of Yang Bingning, grabbing her tightly in his arms.
"Jerk, what are you doing, let go of me."
Yang Bingning was stunned for a second, and when she saw Ye Luoâs head buried in her chest, her pretty face turned red and she roared angrily, trying to push Ye Luo away but failing completely to do so.
"Officer Yang, youâre the police, itâs your duty to protect the safety of us common folk. How about I sleep over at your place tonight? That way you can keep close protection on me."
Ye Luo lifted his head, looking at Yang Bingning with a face full of nervous fear, an expression and manner that could definitely land him an acting role.
"Get lost, let go of me now, or Iâll take you to the police station and lock you up right now, that would be much safer."
Yang Bingning snorted coldly.
"Well, never mind then."
Ye Luo smacked his lips, reluctantly letting go of Yang Bingning. Although he took advantage of the situation to hug her, Yang Bingning, that stunning beauty, was actually a very cold and aloof person, bound to be like a volcano about to erupt, likely to turn the gun on him any second.
Noticing Ye Luoâs gaze, Yang Bingning could only glare back at him furiously.
"Thereâs no need to go to the police station; Officer Yang, would you please trouble yourself to take me home? My car was blown up by these guys."
In the end, Yang Bingning drove Ye Luo to the residential villa complex where he lived. There, she looked at Ye Luo and reminded him, "These people brazenly used firearms against you; they must be quite powerful. You should be careful these next few days."
"I understand, Officer Yang. You definitely have to find the real culprit behind this soon; otherwise, Iâm in great danger."
Ye Luo gave Yang Bingning a pitiful look, and she simply rolled her eyes at him.
At the same time, in a villa in Zhonghai, a man dressed in black hurried into the villa.
On the luxurious villa sofa, a figure sat on the leather sofa, puffing on a cigar, while a woman clad in a red cheongsam with a high slit nestled seductively against the man.
And these two were none other than Li Guangyuan and Liu Ziyun.
"How did it go? Is he taken care of?" Li Guangyuan said, exhaling a thick cloud of smoke.
"Iâm sorry, Young Master; the mission failed. That kidâs abilities are extraordinary; the seven sharpshooters I sent were all subdued by him," the man in black said gravely.
"What? You didnât kill him!"
Li Guangyuanâs face darkened, and he threw his cigar on the ground, stomping on it furiously, his face cold as he scoffed, "Damn it, even this didnât kill him."
The gunmen from before had been sent by Li Guangyuan himself. That day, Ye Luo had punched him on the golf course and even issued him a threatening statement. This, naturally, the second young master of the prestigious Li Family could not tolerate, so he boldly dispatched a group of gunmen to eliminate Ye Luo.
With the power of the Li Corporation, acquiring some firearms was no trouble at all; Li Guangyuan was never merciful to anyone who offended him. Yet, he had not expected the plan to fail.
"Did you leave any witnesses?" Li Guangyuan suddenly asked.
"Rest assured, Young Master. Iâve taken care of it all, and their identities are all very clean, untraceable by the police," said the man in black.
"Hmph, find an opportunity to keep an eye on him. I must have my revenge," Li Guangyuan said coldly.
"Master Li, donât be so angry. Isnât he just a piece of trash with a bit of skill? Sooner or later, he will be yours to deal with, Master Li. Itâs only a matter of time before you eliminate him. Why so angry?"
Looking into Liu Ziyunâs eyes, Li Guangyuan snorted, "To eliminate this trash, Iâve already lost quite a few capable subordinates! But youâre right; eliminating him is only a matter of time; heâll die sooner or later!"
Li Guangyuanâs gaze grew fierce. From a young age, those he wanted dead never lived! Whoever he wanted dead had to die; whoever he allowed to live, could live!
...
In Huaxia, at a secret location, lay an imposing ancient complex, grand and impressiveâhome to the Hidden Sectâs Qingyun Sect.
At the heart of this complex stood a palace-like structure, with countless Luminous Pearls lighting up the entire hall.
If the secular worldâs jewelry tycoons were to see this, they would be astonished, to say the least. Such opulence! So many Luminous Pearls, worth at least over a billion, merely used for lighting.
However, for those within the Hidden Sect, the purpose of Luminous Pearls was solely to provide light, since all powers in the Hidden Sect lived much like in ancient times, completely void of electricity.
Within this palace, a number of figures in green robes gathered. In the very center stood a figure in a white robe, with a refined and dignified appearance, exuding an ethereal air of elegance.
