Chapter 42: Beautiful Stepmother vs. Stepson's Two-Way Redemption (42)

"That's enough."

Yun Lian spread her palm, and a bracelet with a mysterious pattern appeared out of thin air.

"You little brat, don't run away if you dare!"

Yun Lian shook the bracelet, producing an eerie sound. It was like a distant call, stirring up all sorts of thoughts.

Yun Lian's lips curled slightly.

Fortunately, it can summon the Bell of Evil.

The bell of evil can amplify people's greed a thousandfold and make them try to carry it out.

Since they enjoy torture and killing so much, Yun Lian also wants to see what happens when they turn their knives on their own people.

Ten seconds passed in the blink of an eye.

When Song Zhu regained consciousness, she was already being held in Yun Lian's arms.

Before Yun Lian used the Bell of Evil, Song Zhu had already been stabbed six times by the masked man, each time aiming for a vital spot.

The two policemen who had been protecting Song Zhu, even though they were already badly injured, tried to buy him a chance to survive when he was powerless to resist.

The two injured people still tried to protect Song Zhu.

With her last breath, Song Zhu shot the masked man in the chest, then collapsed and lost consciousness.

"How did you get here? What will I do if something happens to you?"

Song Zhu's tears fell like broken pearls, dripping onto the ground and spreading into silent, sorrowful flowers.

Yun Lian gently placed her fingers over his gunshot wound and quietly used the Healing skill.

However, the injury was too severe, and the effect was minimal.

"You think I'll be better off if something happens to you? Song Zhu, the people I, Yun Lian, choose to protect, rarely fail to do so. We all need to live well."

Yun Lian helped him up and took advantage of the chaos to walk outside.

The masked figures inside were killing each other, their eyes bloodshot, each using deadly moves, each one fatal, showing no mercy whatsoever.

When Huo Ye saw Yun Lian injured, he felt sorry for her and wanted to hug her.

Yun Lian stopped it in time.

"Huo Ye, protect Song Zhu for me."

Yun Lian handed Song Zhu to her and then rushed towards the rooftop.

She didn't know where the children were, but Zhang Guanglong had been stuck in one place for a long time. If she just followed Zhang Guanglong's location, she might be able to save the children.

Song Zhu, barely breathing, said, "Yun Lian, don't go, it's dangerous..."

Huo Ye placed Song Zhu among the people Zhang Guanglong brought.

"Please keep an eye on him for me."

Huo Ye ran towards Yun Lian, but Yun Lian had already disappeared.

Yun Lian ran swiftly through the severed limbs and broken arms. The masked man was already in a bloodthirsty frenzy. Huo Ye had only taken a few steps in when he was almost killed. He could only run to ask Song Zhu where Yun Lian had gone.

As Yun Lian walked further and further away, the masked men below gradually regained their senses, but only two or three of them were still able to stand on the ground.

Seeing that they couldn't attack him for the time being, five or six of Zhang Guanglong's men ganged up on him and managed to tie him up, but the person they tied up suddenly vomited black blood and died.

upstairs.

The little girl, held up to the edge of the rooftop, cried silently.

Her face was flushed red from the wind, her body trembled slightly, but she dared not make a sound. The blood on her body was indistinguishable as to whether it was hers or that of the masked man.

His face was an unnatural red.

Zhang Guanglong had lost everything he could, but the masked man was still not satisfied.

"Brother, brother, brother, if you're worried, put the child down and come and search him yourself."

The masked man simply carried the little girl and repeatedly jumped around on the ground and in the air.

"If you dare to come near her, I'll throw her away. Anyway, I'm just a worthless life, it doesn't matter when I die."

No one cares about the child's death except for people like you who are only pretending to be kind.

These children are so pitiful. If it weren't for you, they might have been bought by someone else and grown up happily. Why did you have to come and cause trouble?

As Zhang Guanglong spoke, he made sure not to move, but bloodstains stretched across the ground beneath him. Cold sweat beaded on Zhang Guanglong's forehead; he could have simply killed these three men.

If this bastard hadn't used the child as a threat, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

"Brother, put down the child and run now. I promise I won't stop you."

The masked man seemed to be waiting for someone; he neither left nor abandoned the child.

Only when the masked man saw Yun Lian peek out did a slight smile appear on his lips.

"Someone has to fall today. How about we make a deal? One of you jumps, and I won't throw her."

Upon being discovered, Yun Lian walked straight towards him.

They are standing on the fifth floor now, and there are protruding stones everywhere on the ground below.

Apart from the little girl, everyone else was tied up and hanging in the air. If he were to lose all his ruthlessness, he could kill the rest of them with a single stab.

Yun Lian saw the red light flashing on his chest, and the closer she got, the happier the masked man laughed.

"You've finally arrived. I didn't expect you to be so difficult to kill, even with your big nose. If it weren't for the accidental encounter with that little cop, this feast would have been prepared just for you."

"Since you're so eager to help, jump down, and I'll let this girl go."

Yun Lian smiled.

"The police are here. Do you think you can escape if I die?"

Why don't you tell the person behind you, if we're going to play this game, let's go big. Let's jump together, and whoever survives will have all their debts wiped clean.

Zhang Guanglong cried out in pain.

"Master, don't go, they won't keep their word."

Yun Lian stopped when he flexed his arm muscles.

The man tapped his earpiece lightly, then glanced down, took a deep breath, and wiped the smile from his face.

I promise you.

The man threw the little girl to the ground and stood on the edge.

Zhang Guanglong tried to move, but the masked man placed the knife on the little girl.

"Don't come any closer, or I'll kill her."

"If any of the three of us breaks our promise, these children and women must die."

Yun Lian stopped Zhang Guanglong.

“I’ll jump with him. If he doesn’t jump, kill him.”

Zhang Guanglong nodded, tears drifting in the wind.

Yun Lian was the first to stand at the edge.

The masked man suddenly spoke.

"Throw away your weapons, or I'm afraid you won't keep your promise."

Yun Lian took out all the guns and knives and threw them on the ground.

Just as the masked man was about to make further demands, Yun Lian suddenly flipped to the side, closing the distance between them. The masked man instinctively swung his knife at Yun Lian.

In the instant before the knife was pointed at the child, Zhang Guanglong, with a burst of strength from who knows where, leaped forward several times, shielding the child beneath him and pulling him away from the danger zone.

Just as the masked man was about to strike her, Yun Lian, like a water snake, slid around the masked man's waist and dodged the attack.

Yun Lian had barely steadied herself when the masked man's next stab came at her.

Yun Lian dodged with a double jump, which almost gave Zhang Guanglong a heart attack.

He was on the very edge of the top floor, where a slight misstep could have resulted in a fall, but the man acted as if he were in his own backyard.

She used too much force, and the sand and gravel on the edge rolled off. Zhang Guanglong almost thought she was going to fall downstairs.

Just as the masked man was about to be kicked downstairs, she raised her knife and slashed at the ropes, causing the bound man to scream in panic.

Yun Lian raised her knife to block, but the masked man suddenly smiled sinisterly and fired at Yun Lian.

The two were too close together; if they were hit, they would die, with an abyss behind them.

It seemed to be mocking the two people upstairs for overestimating their abilities.
