Jiang Yilai felt something was amiss. The men at the door looked menacing and didn't seem like they were there to rescue her; they looked more like assassins.

The man in the lead looked at the two beautiful women in the room and laughed.

"What a great thing! There's even a beautiful celebrity involved. The job the boss arranged for us is really good."

Seeing their eyes lingering on the two of them, Jiang Yilai asked in a panic, "Who are you? I'm warning you, don't do anything reckless. I'm a lawyer, and I'll make sure you spend the rest of your lives in jail."

As she spoke, she secretly winked at Ji Xue'er, urging her to cut the rope quickly so that the two of them could do more to resist.

Ji Xue'er understood her gaze, but just as she reached out her hand, a roar came from the doorway, startling her so much that she dropped the knife.

“Beautiful star, stop! You don’t need to do this kind of rough work. We’ll do it. Also, Director Jiang, don’t worry about us. We’re here today to send you on your way and cover up the crime.”

The other party knew their own identity and was able to find this place. If they were not accomplices, then this group must have been secretly monitoring them all along.

This way, if he gets rid of himself, he can also frame Ji Xue'er.

Jiang Yilai subtly shifted her body to cover the knife, attempting to buy time.

"If anyone wants to get rid of me, at least let me die in peace."

The man in the lead stroked his chin, his eyes practically glued to Ji Xue'er, and said casually, "Think about it carefully, what kind of people have you offended?"

After saying that, he winked at his underlings behind him: "Go up and bring the beauty over quickly."

Jiang Yilai's face was covered in mud and she looked dirty, so the man lost interest in her after looking her over.

Ji Xueer is a celebrity; she's beautiful and knows how to dress, so she attracts attention wherever she goes.

She was so frightened by the approaching men that she hid in a corner, but she was no match for them and was dragged away in a few moments.

Jiang Yilai shouted, "What are you doing? Let her go!"

The leading man stepped on her back and said with a smile, "She kidnapped you, why are you still speaking up for her? I've never met a big star before, how could I let this opportunity slip by?"

After saying that, he yelled at the underlings who were harassing Ji Xue'er at the door, "You bastards, don't touch me! I'm the first one here!"

Upon hearing his roar, the commotion and screams outside ceased. One of the underlings suggested, "Boss, why don't we deal with the one inside first? Anyway, the buyer said he wanted nothing but bones. Who knows what happened?"

"It's too ugly, I don't like it, I'll just take care of it."

After the man finished speaking, he raised the iron rod in his hand and said with a wicked smile, "If you want to know who wants to kill you, then go and ask the King of Hell. Don't offend any powerful people in the future."

Jiang Yilai glared at him fiercely, and as the iron rod in his hand was about to fall, he laughed even more triumphantly.

However, just as the knife was about to fall on Jiang Yilai's head, she suddenly flipped over quickly, broke free of the ropes in her hands with lightning speed, raised the small knife she had just seized, and stabbed it into his ankle without hesitation.

The man was completely unprepared for the sneak attack. A piercing pain spread throughout his body, and blood immediately gushed out. He screamed in agony.

The shouts alerted the people outside the door. They were surprised that their leader had actually made a mistake, and they all rushed in.

Jiang Yilai had already cut the rope and stood up, remaining vigilant despite being surrounded by the crowd.

The man was sweating profusely from the pain and was furious, yelling, "Damn it, damn it all!"
