He said, "I was just playing around, just putting on an act. How could I possibly take a courtesan seriously! A man's career is more important." But his hands didn't stop, and his expression softened considerably! He laughed heartily, revealing a row of smoky, yellow teeth, and suddenly said, "How could your little rope possibly bind me!"

As he spoke, he focused his energy in his dantian, instantly tensing all the muscles in his body, breaking the rope and standing up with a somersault.

Startled, Qiu Zeyu and the other two took a step back in unison, assuming defensive posture.

"You hid a knife?" Lan Yamei was startled and blurted out.

The rope, as thick as a thumb, was tied so tightly, yet this Japanese man managed to break free! His skill should not be underestimated.

"Hahaha, how could a mere rope bind me?" With that, he grabbed Guan Hu by the neck with a chokehold.

Guan Hu was startled by the sudden turn of events; his face turned ashen, and he stuck out his tongue, unable to breathe.

Wu Tongling gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me, where is the treasure box!"

The three were startled and quickly surrounded the two. Taking advantage of the situation, Lan Yamei pulled out a pistol and hid it in her sleeve, just in case.

Qiu Zeyu drew a folding fan from his waist and assumed a defensive stance.

Zhao Zhicheng quickly gripped the tranquilizer gun, looking for an opportunity, and hit the target with a single shot.

Guan Hu was being squeezed half to death, his hands were tied behind his back and he couldn't exert any strength, he could only try to twist his body to break free.

The iron grip on Wu Tongling's hands felt like it was determined to kill him. Guan Hu gradually stopped struggling, his eyes rolling back.

Wu Tongling, having vented his anger, loosened his grip. Guan Hu, as if recovering, took a deep breath of fresh air, twisting his neck and saying aggrievedly, "Master, we're in the same boat, how could you lay a hand on me?"

Wu Tongling glanced at everyone with disdain, gritted his yellow teeth, and said, "None of you are getting away today! Tell me the whereabouts of the treasure box."

Guan Hu hesitated, unsure whether he should speak, since killing Wang Fengyang's family was Hua Yuhe's own idea.
