Jiang Jingchuan's underlings were still quite confused. They were the safest people here, and he didn't believe anyone could see them from so far away.

But Jiang Jingchuan had already ordered a retreat, so they could only grab their equipment and hurry to catch up.

Jiang Jingchuan didn't dare take the elevator because he could already see it slowly going up. He wasn't sure if those people would find him soon, but he didn't dare gamble.

He still underestimated the Duan family's capabilities.

Jiang Jingchuan made a phone call as he walked: "We can proceed with Plan B now."

After saying that, Jiang Jingchuan threw his phone out of the stairwell window in the emergency exit.

Jiang Jingchuan led five people and quickly descended the slope.

The building has 42 floors in total. Jiang Jingchuan went up to the 22nd floor and pushed open the emergency exit door to go out.

Meanwhile, Yang Fan's men had already split into three teams: one team took the elevator up, another team quickly went up through the emergency exit, and the third team, which had a larger number of people, started from the first floor and checked each floor one by one.

Luo Qingyuan did not go in, but she was already wearing Duan Ye's suit and was on the first floor with Cheng Suisui, Liu Yan and four bodyguards sent by Luo Shuyang.

Liu Yan was dressed in a suit and tie, and his weathered face had a serious expression.

"Miss, the bomb hasn't exploded, so it must have been neutralized. This building isn't very safe. Why don't we go back to Moon Bay and wait for Mr. Duan's news?"

Cheng Suisui also chimed in, "Miss, Brother Yan is right, perhaps..."

Before Cheng Suisui could finish speaking, employees screamed and ran out of the building: "There's a bomb in the building! There's a bomb! Run!"

The sound caused panic among everyone.

Four bodyguards stood around Luo Qingyuan, watching the people around them fleeing in panic with wary expressions.

The number of people was increasing, and police officers on the first floor were trying their best to persuade everyone to calm down. However, when their lives are threatened, ordinary people cannot remain calm.

Liu Yan's expression became even more serious, but as someone who had experienced many big events, he calmly protected Luo Qingyuan and said, "Miss, let's evacuate first."

At this moment, Luo Qingyuan turned her head to observe her surroundings. Although there was no smile on her face, she was still breathtakingly beautiful standing in the crowd.

She carefully observed her surroundings, then looked back and found that not only their building, but also many people were rushing out of other commercial buildings. Everyone was running towards the road in a panic, causing traffic jams, constant honking of horns, and the scene was chaotic.

"Something's not right," Luo Qingyuan said softly, her tone grave.

Liu Yan immediately realized: "Miss means they're going to escape?"

Cheng Suisui quickly realized, "How could they possibly escape after creating such chaos? Do they think there's no one left in our capital?"

Cheng Suisui was filled with righteous indignation. This was the capital, the capital city, which, in ancient terms, was right under the emperor's nose. This was simply blatant disrespect!

Luo Qingyuan didn't say anything, but followed the crowd out. Seeing this, the others quickly followed.

It was early spring, but the evening breeze still made Luo Qingyuan feel cold, so she wrapped Duan Ye's suit even tighter.

She doesn't know the situation at sea yet.

She and her husband will not let go of anyone who ruins her wedding or disrupts the world order.

Luo Qingyuan stood downstairs. It was too dark at night, and she couldn't see anything from a distance.

"Sui Sui, make arrangements immediately to turn on all the lights on this street."

Luo Qingyuan turned around and pointed to the commercial building across the street: "Especially this building, it must be fully operational."

Cheng Suisui immediately agreed and then turned to do her job.

Police, military, medical, and fire services are all in place, and the crowd is being evacuated rapidly. Reporters are rushing to report the news.

Tonight in Kyoto, it is destined to be a sleepless night.

Luo Qingyuan stood there, thinking carefully about how she would escape from this building, which was already surrounded.

Meanwhile, at sea, on a speedboat.

Ji Yunde was forced to lie face down inside the speedboat, his hands were tied behind his back with ropes, and his face was bruised and swollen, making him unrecognizable.

Duan Ye was driving the boat back, while Duan Ruijun sat to the side wringing out his soaking wet shirt.

"Tell me, why is the Ji family risking their lives to help Jiang Jingchuan?"

Ji Yunde lay on the ground, motionless and silent as if he were dead.

Duan Ruijun wasn't in a hurry. He said slowly and deliberately, "Are you doing something shady?"

Ji Yunde froze, but still forced himself not to speak.

"You two brothers are good in every way, except for your stubbornness. You've already been arrested, what's the point of resisting?"

"I heard that the border police recently arrested a group of human traffickers who specialized in trafficking women. The police followed the clues and found that most of the money was in Kyoto. If I'm not mistaken, Jiang Jingchuan is using this to threaten you, right?"

Seriously, the Ji family deserves to die a thousand times over for human trafficking.

If it weren't for orders, these two brothers would never have survived under his command.

Ji Yunde's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked up sharply, staring intently at Duan Ruijun.

Duan Ye was also shocked. He hadn't expected the Ji family to dare to do such a thing. But what shocked Duan Ye even more was that his second brother had just returned to Kyoto from international waters. How could he know so much about the situation in Kyoto, when they were so far away?

Duan Ruijun clearly didn't have a good temper. He glanced back and realized that they were still some distance from the shore. He grabbed something and slapped it across Ji Yunde's face, leaving Ji Yunde covered in blood.

"You! This is torture!"

Duan Ruijun laughed, but the laugh was utterly devoid of warmth: "Tell me, isn't the Ji family like the Jiang family's dogs? Give them a few steamed buns and they're all docile like dogs..."

"Guess why he didn't come himself, but sent the two Ji brothers instead?"

Ji Yunde's voice was very soft: "We have no choice."

Duan Ruijun: "Now you have a choice, life imprisonment or death penalty, both are good. Passing down from generation to generation, three generations of only sons, that's why I say your Ji family is lucky. Who else can be as lucky as you two brothers? Xiao Aye, don't you think so?"

Ji Yunde's lips twitched incessantly, while Duan Ye readily replied, "Of course, only your Ji family can handle such good fortune."

Seeing Ji Yunde's unconvinced expression, Duan Ruijun calmly said, "Don't worry, you'll see familiar faces soon. Once you're inside, you'll be able to reunite."

By this time, the speedboat had already reached the shore.

Duan Ruijun grabbed Ji Yunde and stood up, even kicking him in his injured leg: "Let's go!"

He kicked Ji Yunde so hard he almost fell to his knees.

Yang Fan's men quickly handcuffed Ji Yunde.

Before Ji Yunde was taken away, Duan Ruijun gave him a piece of advice: "We've been through thick and thin together, so don't say I didn't warn you. Confessing and getting a reduced sentence is the best way for you to protect your brother."

Ji Yunde's face darkened again. A life-or-death friendship—was it his life that was at stake?!
