The security guard stopped Lu Yuan and looked him up and down.

"You're not a resident of this community, are you? Sorry, outsiders are not allowed to enter without permission!"

Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but then he understood.

This neighborhood is clearly a high-end community that only wealthy people can afford to live in. The security is definitely very strict, and it's definitely not one of those places where you can just sneak in without any effort.

"Excuse me."

Lu Yuan nodded apologetically to the security guard and then prepared to turn and leave.

Since he couldn't get in, then by the same token, Zhu Jiaxing certainly wouldn't be allowed in either.

He had acted rashly in his haste, guessing that Zhu Jiaxing would come to the Zhao family for revenge, so he came without any basis.

But now it seems very likely that Zhu Jiaxing is not here.

With that in mind, Lu Yuan decided to go back first.

He didn't know the specifics, but in any case, the most important thing was to contact Zhu Jiaxing first.

Just as Lu Yuan was about to leave, he suddenly heard the security guards chatting behind him.

"What's going on today? There are so many unfamiliar faces, and they're just standing there with their heads down, trying to walk in!"

"Who knows! Anyway, it has nothing to do with us. Just refuse entry to any unfamiliar faces! Everyone inside is a powerful and influential person. We can't afford to offend them. If we make a mistake, we'll end up in a terrible situation!"

"Sigh! I wonder how that kid who was thrown out is doing now. Even if he's not dead, he'll be half-crippled after being beaten like that!"

"Who told him to offend the Zhao family! The Zhao family is notorious for its arrogant and wicked behavior; no one who offends them ever ends well!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan's bad premonition intensified once again, and he stepped forward and grabbed the security guard who was about to return to his post.

"What were you just saying? Have any strangers entered the neighborhood today?"

The security guard was startled by Lu Yuan's sudden action and instinctively wanted to curse him out.

When she met Lu Yuan's terrifying eyes, she was startled again.

"Yes, there was also a young man who looked about your age. He said he was looking for Young Master Zhao, but we stopped him from coming in. Later, I don't know what happened, but Young Master Zhao called us and told us to let him in, so he went in."

"What happened next? Where is he now?!" Lu Yuan pressed.

"The person...the person was just thrown out by the Zhao family, I don't know where they are now..." The security guard was so frightened by Lu Yuan that he was trembling as he spoke.

"Damn it!"

Lu Yuan cursed angrily and turned to go look for it.

Seeing this, the security guard behind him kindly reminded him, "That young man is quite badly injured. He should be somewhere not far from the neighborhood. You can look for him in the vicinity."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan gave him a deep look, thanked him softly, and then strode away.

After Lu Yuan left, the security guard shook his head and sighed softly.

"well!"

...

Following the instructions of the security guard, Lu Yuan searched the area around the residential compound.

After circling around twice, they still couldn't find the injured person.

"Has the person already left?"

As for the possibility that the security guard was deceiving him, Lu Yuan never considered it.

The two had no grudges against each other, and the other party was just a security guard working for someone else, so there was no reason for him to lie to him.

As Lu Yuan was thinking and walking forward, his ears suddenly twitched, as if he heard someone groaning in pain.

Turning his head to look in the direction of the sound, Lu Yuan saw a dark alleyway, where no light could penetrate even in broad daylight.

Without thinking twice, Lu Yuan quickly walked over.

really.

Lu Yuan saw Zhu Jiaxing leaning against the wall next to a trash can in the alley.

At this moment, Zhu Jiaxing's eyes were tightly closed, as if he had lost his own consciousness. He was only following his instincts and making weak groans, as if he was in great pain.

Lu Yuan went forward to check on Zhu Jiaxing's condition and found his hands covered in blood.

"Jiaxing! Jiaxing!"

Lu Yuan gently patted Zhu Jiaxing's face. Zhu Jiaxing struggled to open her eyes and murmured a soft sentence.

"Brother Yuan..."

After saying that, Zhu Jiaxing fainted again.

Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly summoned Xiao Yi from his spatial storage.

"Little Yi, quick! Use Universal Salvation!"

"Eee!"

Upon receiving Lu Yuan's order, Xiao Yi immediately released her skill, and a faint glow enveloped Zhu Jiaxing, causing the hideous wounds on his body to heal at a visible speed.

In just a few minutes, all of Zhu Jiaxing's wounds disappeared.

"Brother Yuan...?"

Zhu Jiaxing slowly opened his eyes, called out uncertainly, his voice very weak.

"Don't talk yet! Although your wounds have healed, you've lost a lot of blood and are still very weak. Rest for a while!"

Lu Yuan quickly stopped Zhu Jiaxing from speaking and helped him up from the ground.

But Zhu Jiaxing grabbed Lu Yuan's hand.

"Brother Yuan! Please, please go and save my sister!"

Lu Yuan frowned upon hearing this. "What exactly happened? Where is Jiayi now?"

Zhu Jiaxing choked up as he said, "My sister... she was kidnapped by that bastard Zhao Kunpeng!"

Lu Yuan looked on in astonishment.

Was he kidnapped by Zhao Kunpeng?

How did that coward suddenly become so bold?

Zhu Jiaxing was still talking intermittently beside him.

“Yesterday, my sister went to the hotel to check the accounts as usual, but I felt uneasy at school, so I skipped class and went to the hotel to find my sister. As a result, I saw that bastard Zhao Kunpeng leading his people to smash things up in the hotel.”

“My sister knew that Zhao Kunpeng was after her, so she tried to stop him. As a result, Zhao Kunpeng ordered his men to put my sister in the car.”

“I rushed up to stop them, but I was no match for them. I could only watch helplessly as my sister was taken away, and I was knocked unconscious by them.”

“I couldn’t imagine what that beast Zhao Kunpeng would do to my sister, so when I woke up I went to the Divine Beast Pavilion to look for you, but the shop assistants said you were out, and your phone was off when I called you.”

"Since I couldn't get in touch with you, I had to bring everything that might be useful with me. It took a lot of effort to find Zhao Kunpeng's location, so I rushed over as soon as possible."

"But I tried every method I could think of, and I still couldn't save my sister. I was even almost beaten to death by them!"

At this point, Zhu Jiaxing, who is usually carefree, was already in tears.

"Brother Yuan, I know this request is a bit much, but could you please help me rescue my sister? She's my only sister, and we depend on each other for survival!"

Zhu Jiaxing's body was already very weak, and after shouting those words in despair, he began to cough violently.

In addition, the blood and qi attacked his heart, and he ended up coughing up a mouthful of blood!

Seeing this, Lu Yuan quickly raised his hand to help him catch his breath, and at the same time solemnly promised.

Don't worry!

"Jiayi and you are both my friends. I would never stand by and watch a friend die!"

After saying that.

He moved Zhu Jiaxing to a relatively clean place to rest, and then, still feeling somewhat uneasy, summoned Chi Lin from his spatial storage.

"Red Phosphorus, you stay here and guard Jiaxing."

Zhu Jiaxing was somewhat surprised to see the suddenly appearing red phosphorus.

Before he could ask any more questions, he heard Lu Yuan's calm voice.

"Wait here, I'll go and bring Jiayi back right away!"
