Chapter 175

Hearing footsteps, Gong Yingxian opened his eyes and slowly raised his head. Upon seeing Ren Yi, he showed signs of struggle and shamefully lowered his head.uYFotirtZffZnAMzJPBUfsGQWCpQSJ

MwoIHuKTKxymZtB

Ren Yi’s emotions were incredibly complex; he felt both heartbroken and unable to suppress his anger. He had countless questions he wanted to ask Gong Yingxian, foremost among them about Qiu Yan, but he held back, knowing that once he spoke, all the resentment and doubts would flood out like a dam bursting. And now was not the time for a flood to drown them.niaMFIaINsWKAwOOsaewtZdWFRrPHF

Huang Yan pushed Ren Yi, saying, “You’ve seen him, alive.”RmqNyaJnNvqhTVxuvnQqfFmkUPeAAz

Ren Yi didn’t even want to look at Gong Yingxian again; he turned his face away. “Let him go.”knAhrexyLlBBcqVxIghKbJFywBBNBK

“Ren Yi!” Gong Yingxian called out, “I’m sorry…” His expression was filled with pain.amyFTvSDghvSthHMaNHIXhOdDVzQvZ

Ren Yi didn’t respond but shouted, “Purple Flame, we agreed on this. You let him go, and I’ll take Huang Yan to get the stuff.”VauZnEmYmTQhksBezxzfqeNkTLkasD

rdUeiGjHPgIDkda

Ren Yi’s phone soon rang again. Huang Yan pressed the call button and held it to Ren Yi’s ear.QkbKkbLDRyOYUwxypuTYhGPpjenbRt

Purple Flame said, “What if we let him go, and you break your promise?”UrlckOmuKPxznQtklrOgXQHYaiXllx

“I’m still in Huang Yan’s hands. How could I break my promise?”KCyRXJgdWzqwMVjjCCmPvydMlNTJPz

“I have a way that’s fair to both sides.”AUNtLSODeanhRATyYgfLzgrpbbrazZ

Ren Yi growled, “You kidnapped us; there’s no such thing as fairness!”RyMurljQpMzKTUXywBiPINFvDTLoyB

JfMgTpjnbJLcRqK

Purple Flame chuckled softly, “You’re right, there’s no fairness. What I want is a result. I can let Dr. Gong go, but I won’t give him a car to prevent him from causing trouble.”cgqeaizieaKZneWOlfuyfDvBCkiRJc

UozyenJwFUWRBJb

Ren Yi gritted his teeth, “We’re in the mountains; you won’t give him a car, are you going to make him walk for miles with his injuries?”NlQFiquDVfuueUfQQdDliXPtfRzfTn

AQDDpHSsgDMxijR

“Exactly, that doesn’t count as breaking my promise, does it?” Purple Flame snorted coldly. “Letting him go is like letting a tiger return to the mountain; I’m not that foolish.”SdIQwmJzBKbRmFqGNFyYJzNnmSutjr

pmQRyayNpceXNHG

Ren Yi’s mind raced. He knew Purple Flame wouldn’t leave himself without a backup plan. This might be the only way for Gong Yingxian to gain his freedom. Only if Gong Yingxian left could there be a chance to save him.qtltiwolzyZEzXXSUVvpXgqKXboFBW

QpNOOVobSKdKyVh

Suddenly, Ren Yi felt a lump in his throat. He hesitated, doubting whether Gong Yingxian would come to save him. He used to think that even if the sky fell, Gong Yingxian would rush to save him without hesitation, but now…HqzOJsDmVXlwEJoGEgBvKZoVMriQoK

JhTxdTYgccMbJtW

Ren Yi closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Since he chose to come here voluntarily, he should be mentally prepared not to return. This was all his choice; what was the use of looking back and forth?ZCIZqIRSStGYHzfiihHWpCUzGnZaKI

“Shut up!” Huang Yan shouted, stepping forward and kicking Gong Yingxian to the ground. “You’re in no position to say anything.”mBYTSAaqUyWRlPVGGYsEjYlvAwcTZa

Ren Yi said, “Hurry up and let him go.”pqTutHFMKxyfkWQOOHTisgpIakBXHr

Huang Yan cut the ropes binding Gong Yingxian. He stretched his limbs but seemed to have been tied for too long, moving very slowly and unable to get up for a long time.IWtZykREWQOExuazTMYnPGLWEjskQF

mtoKgcTbEOHuxDo

Ren Yi felt that given his condition, it would be very difficult to walk out of this mountain, but he could only rely on himself now.dmPJDHgLgTUxCxzVwUYKUVSqpsHTpS

VKacHLOHFbKsHDC

Gong Yingxian looked at Ren Yi with eager and reluctant eyes, as if he had a thousand words to say but couldn’t express them. Finally, his eyes turned red, and he softly called out his name.jhcZWZUInUcWvbWBGmCUDjeYpRLfVK

Ren Yi didn’t respond, not even looking at him.iYERuxgWPIOIFkWUpHUwGUtXHvoVZO

Gong Yingxian gritted his teeth, covering his injured right arm, and turned to leave.iKAUksLhyvDKsthBWdiNPLJisxnnBe

Huang Yan also took Ren Yi back to the garage, pushing him into the car. “Address.”oFuLroNNBMCgCJsQkFGkUElLdsgcnM

“Back the way we came.”BNxLFkvcUHmDByMQgLSuVRZpNFOPjp

“You’ll know when you get there.”oLvfEujplaMsNMmtLmkzxYqUClclGj

Huang Yan grabbed Ren Yi by the chin. “Listen carefully, my boss wants to personally inspect these pieces of evidence. I want them all to appear in front of me without missing a single one. If you dare to play any tricks, I have a thousand ways to torture you, and I will definitely try them one by one on you.”luRhVcprHYjfyFfIEJBRovFlVCcCqK

TMIWSBtPxoaaApS

Ren Yi replied coldly, “I’ll give them to you. Anyway, they’re of no use to me, but I want to get to a safe place, ensuring you won’t kill me once you have the stuff.”flIpVnLXpxLrFheiZepLFesWkvczZl

WzkUeejAYmUcGUt

Huang Yan released his grip, revealing an ambiguous smile.tsMuhhyJZwXDZQvzHcIuiFfcSMcJAF

The two drove away from the villa. It took them a full forty minutes to reach the foot of the mountain. If they had to walk, it would probably take a whole day.ToJyQuVGffLzBfOYcDiNubIYsINyUm

KoesGHZHLliQdPU

Ren Yi shook his head, his gaze turning cold and hard. He no longer thought about Gong Yingxian. He owed Gong Yingxian a debt of life, which he had repaid. Now he needed to find a way to save himself.ZyJKDqYUJvJhCotuLGxUuTsnZJiukk

LJtrBgGqqLzaIJY

Huang Yan drove back to the city, returning to the alley where they had met. Ren Yi’s car was still parked on the road, and Huang Yan stopped behind it.AwIkYOhNOWCfRXAPPvApqWGpDwECzn

SDOZhTOmYZQUQiK

“Where’s the stuff?”WNAbjoLOjpGMTvHVwwFHvHWTaNyKyV

SeEcIDAxQaxzJFR

“Let me get out of the car first.” Ren Yi looked outside; there were pedestrians and nearby residents, making it a relatively safe environment for him.uJhpJDFicBJXPctsteYKRgTniCfXLG

JkXKUTasxEAEqHo

Huang Yan opened the car door and got out, moving to the passenger side to unbuckle Ren Yi’s seatbelt.bsvGhTkIKWYvKVmrFyeELTkqXcVqkk

FYEpEvqZwBFZrui

In that instant, Ren Yi exploded. He broke free from the ropes he had been rubbing against all the way and raised the dagger, stabbing it toward Huang Yan’s eyes without hesitation, filled with hatred and a will to survive, using all his strength.GhCZdfkAgmPMYelpcQsschotKYIGal

dlEkTkUoTUYefKH

Huang Yan’s gaze darkened, and with exceptional reflexes, he tilted his head to dodge. The dagger grazed his temple, and a spray of blood splattered.mIoYNoyWhRXtADzYJFrFErorZLnpGW

NRTgSFYDOEerfsB

Ren Yi retracted his hand, wanting to stab again, but he was still in the car, and the space was very cramped. His elbow hit the seat, causing a brief delay, and Huang Yan seized his wrist, slamming it against the car frame while blocking Ren Yi’s incoming punch with his other hand.izZYdHezdpnxtRNFJPcANCRarjAzHc

kyLMywPnLOABMsy

After two hard hits, Ren Yi felt pain and had to let go, the dagger falling to the ground.PXIwIAvumaOcMeXNzXuuzavmPZwGJl

jdSbiCjZqkGzkQH

Ren Yi used his head to ram into Huang Yan’s chest, and they both tumbled out of the car. Ren Yi sat on Huang Yan, swinging his fists wildly at his head. Huang Yan blocked a few punches but took some hits himself, then retaliated with a punch to Ren Yi’s waist.sbRWcIMtyUIndXPHNNEiBOBnMEuYDk

XSKWYtIUAmTSzTu

Ren Yi cried out in pain, his body leaning to one side. Huang Yan took the opportunity to flip over and pin Ren Yi down. With a swift motion, he pulled out a shiny small knife from between his fingers, aiming it straight at Ren Yi’s face.UtahtaKRZALpmqwOGcLaAQxBagBEBE

Ren Yi instinctively closed his eyes.IPCYhfZrmrvMzKNEDUMGOxjiKnuWGD

wERPLvYBSuDFUDc

After a long wait, the expected pain did not come. Ren Yi trembled and opened his eyes.LbppIQDstjVIVmARmkEBGRYyFRifhF

rhNuRyBksAdkJPX

The first thing he saw was the small sharp blade, very close to his eyes, so close that he couldn’t see its exact shape, only a huge shadow. He knew that if this little thing sank down even a bit, he would lose his eyes.AUiTNTWNVMYxmlVIZjqprekddswDmm

Ren Yi’s heart trembled, and he didn’t dare to breathe.fAPKTMjnszqRpQUOmnujCtrVDXOXlb

Huang Yan grinned, “You’re overestimating yourself.”FkuoKyokKWuJtYqDGruoCruLeKOFXu

Ren Yi looked at Huang Yan with unwillingness.MroOxZzmtxDUYGqKNujoqocKkKbOGG

Huang Yan lowered his head, “If it weren’t for the people here, I would definitely ruin your eye.”kMMyOcvlKOdYLqjcpmIKAbvakrdAuR

yKMGSzogZCMUjXo

Ren Yi’s chest heaved violently.IIwRUEbqJdbfDeXCXvPmyEZczCatWV

YgfwaRxUbsyFHyR

Huang Yan lifted Ren Yi from the ground, glaring at the few pedestrians who were looking over. He had a fierce appearance, clearly not someone to be trifled with, and no one dared to meddle: “Where’s the stuff?” He pressed the small knife against Ren Yi’s temple. “This little knife isn’t convenient for killing, but it’s great for bleeding.”xWfqGenbRXmEFHfPTLPlysIbuNGLmA

RIddTgYSEPjrNnN

“In… that car.” Ren Yi said softly, “I threw the spare tire under the mat in the trunk; the stuff is hidden inside.”TFdVqQwJuHhkFcMaZJGREbpWGrVLYY

qZjwTbCQdQowUPR

Huang Yan held Ren Yi and walked to the back of that car, opening the trunk. He lifted the mat and saw that it was indeed as Ren Yi said. Huang Yan took out his phone and called Purple Flame: “Boss, we found the stuff. Yes, understood.”DKEiUaVVHOvyxgbjUnHvAuHCCEMLBc

NenRbFuwVzBpFDA

Ren Yi was sweating profusely, struggling with his hands. “I’ve given you the stuff; let me go.”axLewJtOmpTNLMvSBnqyaxWaruweWz

JYdMmOQGEfYcaYk

“The boss changed his mind.” Huang Yan sneered, “Given that you just attacked me, being so unruly, let’s not say we’re not keeping our promises. The boss wants to see you.”gdRzoAqzcmGcPRKNAiiGtedMAnHfXv

ZXoRKFVfPnNrRQS

Ren Yi said expressionlessly, “You never intended to let me go.”OrbxXBNcaYDdRwGzPwdIgTlPfDXQPO

UuNdasduPVmhaZU

“What else?” Huang Yan dragged Ren Yi toward his car. “You’ve ruined so many of our plans; did you really think you could leave unscathed? Do you know that someone is willing to pay a million dollars to watch this ace firefighter burn to death in a live broadcast?”DrnVPHsyawmdPYmTQKJKfSEzndsziJ

KocWZJknCjTPwRi

Ren Yi suddenly struggled violently, even planning to shout for help.rRZzpXgTSZOpwHsshFhtjgqHtdNGpo

Huang Yan saw through his intentions and grabbed his neck again. In just twenty seconds, he went from suffocating to oxygen deprivation, and then to complete dizziness and unconsciousness.LDMkYLXraiVGkygBofaobmSGdAlsAU

Ren Yi was awakened by two slaps. He hadn’t been unconscious for long. When he opened his eyes, he saw they were in a parking lot. Ren Yi felt that this place looked familiar; it was clearly the abandoned amusement park where Bai Yan used to hide!YXezdajEAGiMhrtXaMMAedlMMiJMst

yQdJpkpDrNjIbdh

Huang Yan dragged him out of the car. Looking down, he saw that he was tied up again.XXnMYxbdZhYppVAkWWRGBSJjkNvTRz

bDdpcDWqqMlAaFM

Huang Yan kicked Ren Yi. “Move forward, into that visitor hall.” He was dragging two suitcases.yGkXcjeXhFTuyvucmVBbbCNWhUuUKa

ykkTFGCsMshfVJO

Ren Yi looked around; it was desolate. Even if he wanted to run, there was nowhere to go. Was Purple Flame here? Did Purple Flame think that the more dangerous the place, the safer it was, believing the police wouldn’t think he would dare to return here? It was indeed bold and unexpected.hKRTZrSsYtvKkVJsXAcYiaHwkZWCDJ

yFDbZvfhvzbhpWE

Ren Yi was urged by Huang Yan to cross the hall and enter the back office area.XynSaRkxPFEkncoAvgfEdPWuyumOXd

UxmpqjoKcusANUB

Finally, a brightly lit office appeared before him.ehQIiUDSFBdpMmkkncNpzUYZjznkBr

ZfXCfBZHsGRKPzd

Huang Yan pushed the door open. A man with medium-length hair was hunched over, facing away from them. In front of him were three lit computer screens. Ren Yi saw the villa and some surveillance footage of the amusement park on them.dmoztuqoooAOtJyReRBpojIBtbkcRg

hqetKVjqgoHLqVv

A familiar smell filled the air, and it was strong—gasoline. Ren Yi wrinkled his nose; anyone could recognize that smell, let alone him. His gaze instinctively searched the room for gasoline, and sure enough, he found several gasoline cans in the corner.KBnNrLzkNadpdjyjVbIAESkwyZqWCN

LnbgstpSdzeEptj

He felt suspicious but also thought it wasn’t worth questioning. These perverted arsonists brought gasoline; what was strange about that?ZZdTTXeTvzHgxeUUlyYJLyOFmMSlDu

AuqzZavcciaskGZ

The man in front of the computer turned around. He was a slightly chubby man in his thirties, with a puffy face showing signs of sleeplessness, messy hair, and a timid demeanor. Behind his thick glasses were a pair of dead fish eyes.FhxDZCEJPBkFAdZKjTFvVSpGeIFWkZ

“You’re Qing Yan,” Huang Yan said. “Where’s the boss? I brought the stuff and the person.”gslVODbhYjKLMXiFmyCcQojTHewWNs

Huang Yan frowned. “Then where is the boss?”MIActVqGvBxyjaDYpIbaHCwLlAoaAs

“Purple Flame said to let me stay here with you.” Qing Yan suddenly smiled, revealing a mouthful of rotten teeth, which was quite disgusting.fiGxBFfFqvTdTrVdvORuhZHdJZguhE

Huang Yan was silent for a moment. “What do you mean?”ytlSAMsepAKpGrJQJmowzUGIJzglub

Qing Yan’s hand suddenly reached out, pulling something in the air.FArTwqMLQUXMgREFEwmDHZnQJgTNks

Ren Yi had excellent vision and vaguely saw that what Qing Yan held might be a fishing line. He felt a bad premonition, but it was too late to react.jGdqQZGTeGguwZbhMkFbsJuPQMvnkV

xZZCeweuHskgfGW

The next second, the ceiling suddenly collapsed, crashing down with a loud noise, drenching every corner of the room with gasoline, including the three of them.acgpiOgSDnKsqBPHRAtMNuvywixGDJ

yBeAexjMYppFYwO

Ren Yi and Huang Yan were knocked to the ground by the falling ceiling. Although it didn’t hurt much, the chaotic plastic boards and beams covered them, and the gasoline on the ground made it slippery. They couldn’t get up for a moment, let alone escape.rTGzMQhDBaxqMFIOrLhyPyBVNDIIJb

Qing Yan pulled out a lighter from his pocket and laughed maniacally, “Let the God of Light take everything away!”CRoDEiLPLtHVYgmVmUSTetxcCptTHB

Ren Yi was filled with despair, never expecting that as a firefighter, his final fate would truly be to perish in flames?hZcOLAIbvhQqdDqnZUprEoygCoJMll

A gunshot rang out.QRYrlQzVnWnpEdEOaLDhyDsbiBVoGL

Qing Yan’s body was pushed back by the tremendous impact, knocking over his computer and desk, ultimately collapsing to the ground, blood gushing out and mixing with the gasoline on the floor. The two substances, competing for density, pushed and repelled each other, with the gasoline eventually floating on top of the blood.FJaFqbgCBXvqElQnaxnAtLUdkfBUcW

UHXECkIOOgeWgWG

Ren Yi turned in surprise, seeing a tall figure blocking the doorway. The sunset’s afterglow spilled from behind him, outlining his silhouette in golden light, shining like a deity descending.ADVGbNdiUKuHbPmgEOXCyUTpYMMjBW
