Chapter 243 Symbols of Identity

Baron, who was kneeling on the ground, instantly regained his composure!

He got up from the ground, turned around and punched the remaining henchmen in the face several times!

"How is this possible... How is this possible!? I definitely hit you, I definitely hit you!" Brother Pan, his face pressed against the hood, was still muttering in disbelief, "Who are you! Who exactly are you!?"

"Didn't you say I was a member of the Hua family?" Wen Ni asked, her voice cold and condescending.

Behind her was the deep night and a sky full of stars.

The car lights made her face appear and disappear, and the upward curve of her lips was cold and chilling!

Like a demon in the dark night, a reincarnation of a mandala!

"I...I mistook you for someone else. You're not a member of the Hua family! Hero! Heroine! If you let us go, our boss will remember your kindness. If you ever need anything from the Butcher's Knife Sect, we will do our utmost to help you, even unto death!" Brother Pan pleaded desperately.

"Why would I need anything from scum like you?" Wen Ni seemed to have heard a joke.

She reached into her bosom with two fingers and pulled out a green booklet, her eyes haughty. "How about I show you my backer and see if you'll ever need my help?"

"What kind of backer? What else could you possibly have..." Brother Pan was shaking his head when he saw the little green book, and his eyes widened!

The People's Liberation Army Marine Corps of China...!

Pan rolled his eyes; he felt like he saw his great-grandmother.

This woman is indeed not a member of the Hua family, but her identity is even more dangerous than that of a member of the Hua family!

"The Butcher's Knife Sect is blocking the road and causing trouble. We'll have officers from the Municipal Public Security Bureau invite you in for tea later!"

Wen Ni coldly tossed out a sentence.

At the same time, the sound of a police siren came from afar.

The uniformed police officers subdued all of Brother Pan's henchmen.

Brother Pan was also handcuffed and held to the side!

She threw down the baseball bat, braced herself against the car hood with one hand, and leaped onto the ground, landing steadily!

Her movements were swift and stylish, attracting the attention of the police officers!

A hand holding the shattered clan token was suddenly thrust in front of Wen Ni.

Wen Ni looked up at the newcomer, slightly surprised. "Lu Jinye? Weren't you discussing business at the bar? Why are you here?"

“Baron texted Qin Yuan on the way.” Lu Jinye looked her up and down, making sure she wasn’t hurt at all, before continuing, “This clan badge, was it a gift from Hua Zhuo?”

“That’s right, but is there any story behind this thing?” Wen Ni took it and held it in her hand. “I originally thought it was just an antique toy.”

However, Pan Ge of the Butcher's Knife Sect had an unusual attitude when he saw the clan token, and Lu Jinye's tone was also a bit off, which inevitably aroused her suspicion.

"The clan token is a symbol of the Hua family's identity and represents the Hua family's protection. With this, you can walk freely throughout the entire underground of China, and no one will dare to mess with you!" Lu Jinye answered very seriously.

"That young master Zhuo actually sent me something like this as an apology. The Hua family is quite generous." Wen Ni raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself that she might have also benefited from the Lu family's influence. "I'll have Uncle Xiao fix it when I get back. It should be able to be repaired!"

"Make sure you keep it safe after it's repaired." Lu Jinye stared thoughtfully at the clan token. "Although I don't know what the Hua family's intentions are, having this will ensure your safety for the time being!"

"Mm." Wen Ni nodded.

"Leave this to Barron and the others. Get in the car, I'll take you back to school." Lu Jinye opened the car door.

"good."

As night deepened, the desolate countryside came into view.

Under the moonlight, two black cars hurriedly drove along a country road.

"Boss, Panzi and his gang messed things up somehow. Not only did they fail to find the Hua family's weakness, they also got themselves involved!"

"We can't worry about them anymore, the cops are definitely searching the whole city for us right now! Tonight, no matter what, we have to get out of here!"

"Don't worry, boss, once we get off this village road, we'll be out of Gotham City!"

They had barely finished speaking when the car suddenly braked forward!

Just as the boss was about to start cursing, he suddenly saw a row of cars with their headlights on blocking the road ahead in the pitch black!

A man got out of the car and sat on the hood of the middle car. He was dressed in a suit, handsome and aloof, and was holding a new-style pistol in his hand.

"Hua... Hua Zhuo!?"

"Old dog Tu, I usually ignore you, but you've gone too far and now you're even targeting the people around me? I don't think I need to teach you the lesson of playing with fire, do I?" Hua Zhuo played with his pistol, and the people behind him raised their guns at the same time, their dark guns aimed at the Tu Dao Sect members!

"No, wait..." Boss Tu opened his eyes wide in horror.

His attempts to stop him were ineffective.

The next second, the sound of bullets leaving the barrel rang out in unison with the sound of firecrackers, and then silence returned!

The ground was covered in red, making it impossible to tell whether it was firecracker debris or bloodstains.

In the blink of an eye, another group of people arrived and scattered lime all over the ground to bury it...

In the starlight of the night sky, dark clouds could be seen rolling and swirling.

On the highway leading to the college, a black luxury sedan sped past.

Qin Yuan was driving in the front seat.

Wen Ni and Lu Jinye sat side by side in the back.

Soothing music played inside the car, making people relax involuntarily—almost forgetting that a thrilling life-or-death struggle had just taken place not long ago!

She crossed her arms with one hand.

Bored out of her mind, her eyes unconsciously drifted to the man sitting next to her.

He rolled up the sleeves of his navy blue shirt to his forearms, revealing his muscular arms, and he was still wearing the watch she had given him on his wrist!

Shift your gaze upwards

It landed on his open collar.

For some reason, she was quite concerned about the necklace he wore around his neck. Although it wasn't expensive and was just strung on a red cord, the fact that Lu Jinye wore it all the time indicated that the necklace held special significance!

After passing through the tunnel, we entered a brightly lit neighborhood.

The ornament hanging from the red rope shimmered with a glint of light.

This allowed Wen Ni to take a closer look; the pendant on the red rope necklace was actually a bronze-colored bullet casing!

When did this fashion item become popular?

Wen Ni was lost in thought when she felt Lu Jinye's gaze sweep over her. She quickly blinked and looked away, looking out the window on his side!

"This lamp... is truly an art form!" Indeed, people tend to be very busy when they are suddenly flustered, and their words become incoherent.

Wen Ni mentally slapped herself!

"You call this art?" Lu Jinye turned his head, glanced at the bare street lamp with only one large light bulb shining, and fell into a brief silence.

Qin Yuan, gripping the steering wheel, chuckled and continued, "Miss Wen Ni, why did you seem so distracted after meeting Hua Zhuo? Speaking of which, you indirectly helped the Hua family cut off the left and right arms of the Butcher's Blade Sect. Shouldn't Hua Zhuo bring gifts and come to your door to express his gratitude? What do you think he could possibly give you this time? He's already given you the most powerful clan token, he..."

"Qin Yuan".

Lu Jinye interrupted, his tone icy cold: "Since you like to keep bringing up Hua Zhuo, why don't you quit your job and go to the Hua family, and see if they can give you a clan token too?"

"..." Qin Yuan's hand on the steering wheel trembled, and he quickly pledged his loyalty, "No, Master Lu! I, Qin Yuan, am a member of the Lu family in life and in death!"

"Then shut your mouth! Otherwise, I'll turn you into a wandering ghost." Lu Jinye had little patience.

Qin Yuan, sitting in the front row, immediately shut her mouth and obediently raised one hand to give an OK sign!

"Lu Jinye, you don't like Hua Zhuo?" Wen Ni sensed the sinister undertone in his words.

"I don't like it." Lu Jinye frowned, then his gaze suddenly locked onto Wen Ni. "What about you? What do you think of Hua Zhuo?"
