Feng Er tapped on the iron bars with a wooden stick, casually calling out to the girl upstairs, "Hey! Hurry up and open the door, little girl! If you surrender now, your brothers might consider sparing your life, hahahahaha."

As if to bolster her own morale, the girl shouted down:

"You bad people! If you don't leave, my brother will give you a piece of his mind when he gets back!"

Lei Laojiu and Feng Er burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Feng Er even laughed until tears streamed down his face, "You do have a good older brother, but your dear 'brother' is probably too busy taking care of himself right now!"

The girl continued, "Who exactly are you?!"

Feng Er cleared his throat. "I am 'Two of Spades'. This is the infamous Lei Ge of Paradise Island, 'Nine of Spades' Lei Lao Jiu. You don't even recognize our boss? How dare you hang around Paradise Island?"

Lei Laojiu impatiently urged, "Why waste words with her! Hurry up and tell her to open the door, don't delay my afternoon tea!"

Seeing that Chuanliu had no intention of coming downstairs, Feng Er lost his patience. He waved his hand, and his gang of henchmen immediately continued to forcefully open the door.

Chuanliu narrowed his eyes slightly, his attitude suddenly changing, and his tone revealing a hidden threat:

"If you don't know when to leave, I won't be polite!"

Feng Er scoffed at her warning, a wicked smile playing on his lips:

"Little brat, I'll show you what true tenderness and care for women is in a moment."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, a ball of eerie green flame suddenly rose from the girl's hand.

The flames were a deep, eerie color, like a phantom in the night, shimmering with a chilling light. The flames leaped in Chuanliu's palm, each flicker seemingly carrying a mysterious power that made one afraid to look directly at them.

Everyone, including Lei Laojiu and Feng Er, was stunned by this sudden phenomenon. They stood frozen in place, even forgetting what they were doing.

"Ghost...will-o'-the-wisp!"

One of the younger brothers screamed in terror, then fainted from shock.

Lei Laojiu was the first to come to his senses. He stared intently at the flame in Chuanliu's hand, trying to find a flaw in it.

But the "ghost fire" seemed to sense his doubt and burned even more fiercely, as if it wanted to devour everything.

Chuanliu's gaze suddenly shifted to Feng Er, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, like a razor-sharp blade.

Feng Er was intimidated by that gaze and took three steps back, swallowing hard.

His gaze shifted between Chuanliu and Lei Laojiu, clearly indicating that he was considering retreating.

After a long pause, he stammered to Lei Laojiu:

"Boss, I think this little girl is a bit strange. Why don't we wait until your men deal with Wu Fangming before we go and capture her together?"

Although Lei Laojiu felt a chill in his heart, he did not want to lose face in front of his subordinates.

He forced himself to remain calm, glared at Feng Er, and shouted angrily:

"A bunch of grown men are scared like this by a little girl! I think she's just bluffing. Keep smashing!"

As if to set an example for his underlings, Lei Laojiu snatched a weapon from the person next to him, strode towards the door, and slashed fiercely at the chains.

However, just as he was about to touch the iron gate, the green flame in Chuanliu's hand suddenly came to life, shooting towards Lei Laojiu like a ghostly fire arrow.

The flaming arrow struck the gate instantly, and the green flames spread out in an instant, engulfing the entire gate.

Chuanliu slowly raised his finger, pointing at Lei Laojiu, his pupils reflecting a green light, as if the Grim Reaper had descended.

Then, something shocking happened.

The walls surrounding the villa seemed to be ignited by some mysterious force, with a ring of yellow flames encircling the entire villa.

Because Lei Laojiu was closest to the gate, the flames instantly spread from the soles of his feet upwards and quickly engulfed his body.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"

Lei Laojiu let out a shrill scream as his entire body was engulfed in flames and he struggled in agony.

Upon seeing this, Feng Er panicked. He frantically ordered his men, but they were afraid of being caught in the crossfire and dared not approach the flames. They also couldn't find a place to get water to extinguish the fire.

They could only frantically use their clothes to pat the flames off Lei Laojiu's body, trying to extinguish the sudden fire.

Lei Laojiu's screams rose and fell, but amidst the flames, his voice gradually became weak and indistinct.

The flames on his body burned ever brighter, and no one could tell whether his screams were from the burns or from the pain exacerbated by the beatings and slaps from his subordinates.

The flames on Lei Laojiu's body were finally extinguished, and the flames around the villa gradually died down as well.

At this moment, Feng Er and his men were filled with nothing but terror.

"A ghost! It's haunted! It's haunted!"

Feng Er kept muttering to himself, not caring whether the mission was completed or not, and quickly ordered his underlings to take Lei Laojiu away.

The group of people fled as if they were escaping.

Watching the departing crowd, Chuanliu slowly closed his eyes and exhaled deeply.

Since the last attack on her home, she has set up these magical schemes in the villa.

Originally, it was just a precaution, but I never expected it to come in so useful today.

The Empty City Stratagem was used perfectly.

But she knew that once Lei Laojiu reorganized, he would attract even more people to cause her trouble again.

Chuanliu put away the thin copper wire in his hand.

She suddenly realized that Lei Laojiu knew Wu Fangming was in the City of Cubes and that he had left the city, so he could have gone directly to find him, but instead he came to find her.

That means someone is holding Wu Fangming back for him; or someone will bring Lei Laojiu's men to take care of Wu Fangming for him.

So, who can Lei Laojiu collaborate with in Cube City...?

not good!

Chuanliu immediately went downstairs and bumped into Aunt Wu and Xiong Ajiao, who had just been hiding in the basement of their house.

She said anxiously:

"Fang Ming is in danger!"

Xiong Ajiao quickly said, "What! Where is he? I'll go with you!"

"Okay!" Chuanliu turned to Aunt Wu and instructed her:

"Aunt Wu, please lock the gate and don't let anyone in except us."

Aunt Wu nodded with a worried expression.

Chuanliu and Xiong Ajiao immediately rushed to the Square Winery.

On the way, Chuanliu suddenly thought of something and said to the man:

"Ah Jiao, quickly find the 'Six of Diamonds' money string and tell him his ally is in danger at the Block Winery!"

Given the urgency of the situation, Xiong Ajiao didn't ask any questions and immediately ran to Qian Chuan's residence.

When Chuanliu arrived at Fangkuai Winery, she saw that there wasn't even a doorman at the entrance, and she knew that Wu Fangming was probably inside.

She tried to keep her voice down as she walked toward the winery.

Before even entering the front hall, one could hear the sounds of fierce fighting.
