As for... Lu Mingxuan absolutely does not have the ability to take her away under his nose, and Xi'er would never go with him!

His time together had made him deeply feel Qiao Xi's love and trust for him, so she would never leave him in this way!

He Fan called again, and Qi Jincheng immediately pressed the answer button, "Found it?"

"No," He Fan answered very carefully, afraid of upsetting him.

"Keep searching!" Qi Jincheng ordered sternly.

"Yes!" He Fan dared not hesitate for a moment.

Just as he was about to hang up, Qi Jin suddenly noticed something in the surveillance footage and blurted out, "Why are you going this way?"

He Fan didn't know what Qi Jincheng was talking about, but Qi Jincheng quickly continued, "There are three routes from the school back to the campus. Just in case, I inform Xiao Li of the route in advance every week. We shouldn't have taken this route today."

Upon hearing this, He Fan immediately realized that Qi Jincheng was referring to the surveillance footage!

He then turned on the surveillance footage. Although he had already watched it several times, he watched it carefully again this time.

Finally, he found the place he had overlooked before, but Qi Jincheng spotted it first. "What's going on with that van?"

"I'll have someone investigate right away," He Fan said, racing against time.

Qi Jincheng urged him impatiently, "Right away!"

Qiao Xi and Jun Jiuge were locked in the cold storage by Er Er, and the driver was tied up in the place where Jun Jiuge was originally tied up by Brother Jin.

After completing the tasks Ma Qianbang had given him, Brother Jin hurried back to report, "Master Ma, all the surveillance cameras in the vicinity have been destroyed."

"Hmm." Ma Qianbang nodded in satisfaction.

He wanted to take advantage of the fact that no one knew about this and quickly dispose of all the evidence so that even if the person died, no one would suspect him, let alone trace it back to him.

He didn't want to get too involved in the capital, but once he got his hands on the goods, not only the capital, but the entire martial arts world would be his.

Although we haven't received the item yet, as long as we're certain that Jun Jiuge brought it here, it won't be difficult to find.

A satisfied and gratified smile unconsciously appeared on Ma Qianbang's lips. He gestured to Brother Jin and said, "Set it on fire. Don't leave anything behind."

After a slight pause, Brother Jin immediately obeyed, saying, "Yes."

"Can you handle this?" Ma Qianbang seemed somewhat distrustful of him.

Brother Jin nodded repeatedly and said affirmatively, "Yes, don't worry, I will definitely handle it properly."

Ma Qianbang put on an act as if he still trusted him, and said earnestly, "Xiao Jin, don't let me down again."

Brother Jin quickly echoed obsequiously, "Master Ma, how could I dare to disappoint you?"

Ma Qianbang nodded in agreement, then looked at Er'er and coldly ordered him, "You stay here to clean up the mess too."

Jin Ge's gaze followed him. Before this, Jin Ge had never met Er Er before, and he knew nothing about him or what his relationship with Master Ma was.

But judging from his behavior just now, he's definitely not someone I can mess with.

Ma Qianbang trusted Er'er completely; Er'er would do whatever he said, simply because he had saved his life.

After Ma Qianbang and his men left, Brother Jin ordered his men to pour gasoline around the factory.

Once everything was ready, he glanced at Er'er, and seeing that he remained silent, he lit the lighter.

Just as he was about to drop the lighter and retreat, a mocking voice suddenly rang in their ears, "Oh my, little kid, you're up to no good, aren't you?"

Immediately afterwards, a nimble figure snatched the lighter from Brother Jin's hand, and then a man appeared in front of them.

The man was dressed in all black and looked to be in his late thirties or early forties, but he gave off a very energetic and...unruly vibe.

Jin didn't even see how he snatched the lighter from his hand. Only when he saw the lighter in his hand did he realize that it was him who did it.

Instantly, he flew into a rage and yelled at him, "Who the hell are you?"

Before the man could answer, Brother Jin couldn't hold back any longer and bit him, yelling, "Get him!"

Seeing this, the man could only shake his head helplessly. They all looked menacing and ready to teach him a lesson... but unfortunately, in no time, they all collapsed at his feet.

With such rudimentary skills, a man wouldn't bother to fight if he weren't in a hurry.

Jin was stunned. He hadn't even seen clearly how they had all collapsed!

Seeing the man walking towards him, Jin Ge immediately cast a pleading look at Er Er, but Er Er had no intention of helping him.

The man crushed Jin Ge's wrist as easily as squashing an ant, causing Jin Ge to scream in pain, "Ah ...

Now only Er'er was left. Just as the man was about to ask him a question, Er'er attacked him first.

The man could sense that he was different from those good-for-nothings, but after a few moves, he began to look at him with new respect. "Oh wow, you've got some skills."

Er'er noticed the distinctive mark on the man's arm. "The Heavenly Slaughter Sect?"

Jin, who had just been screaming in pain, instantly snapped back to his senses and exclaimed in shock, forgetting even the pain, "Heavens, the Heavenly Slaughter Sect?"

The man glanced at the mark on his wrist intentionally; he didn't intend to show it to them, it was purely accidental.

But if you've seen it, you've seen it; there's no need to hide it.

Jin Ge shouted as if he had been provoked, "Go, go quickly, go quickly!"

Anyone who's involved in the underworld and knows anything about the rumors surrounding it knows the status of the Heavenly Slaughter Sect.

Seeing the group of people fleeing in disarray, the man didn't bother to chase after them, and the kid he had sparred with didn't seem inclined to run away either.

"You've come to rescue people?" Er'er asked him expressionlessly.

The man looked like he'd almost forgotten, but then quickly asked, "Something came up and I'm late. Can you tell me where she is?"

Er'er wouldn't tell him, and the man didn't force him, saying, "If you won't tell me, I'll have to find someone myself."

The man had barely taken a step when Er'er immediately reached out to stop him, but the man dodged her attack. "Again?"

"Kid, you're no match for me," the man kindly reminded him.

Kel showed no intention of backing down and attacked again. The man stopped playing games with him and got serious.

After a few rounds, Er'er was subdued by the man, and took a solid punch to the stomach. "Ugh."

"Tell me, where is he?" The man stopped being polite, grabbed his arm, and shoved him to the ground.

Bound inside, Xiao Li saw what was happening outside through the window. He struggled and cried out, but the man didn't hear him. But when it quieted down, he could hear him.
