The moment Liu Yifu pushed the box over, the man in black loosened his grip slightly, but Shen Tangning shoved him aside with her elbow and ran away quickly: "Yuan Zhao!"

A person jumped in through the window behind them; it was Yuan Zhao.

He kicked the man in black in the back, and the man staggered a few steps, looking up in shock. He heard Shen Tangning say coldly, "Kill him!"

Now that the other person has seen her face, there's no guarantee they won't reveal the secret that she was here today.

Before the man in black could even be shocked, Yuan Zhao had already made his move, each strike deadly!

Shen Tangning rushed forward immediately and hugged the box on the ground. Liu Yifu also came to her side and grabbed her arm, his brows furrowed with a rare deep anger: "Were you out of your mind just now?"

The two quickly moved to a safe area. Shen Tangning took two quick breaths and handed the box back to him: "Sir, you must keep it safe this time."

He looked down at the black box in his arms and was speechless.

Why would she risk her life for something of unknown origin?

He looked up at Shen Tangning, who was staring intently at the fight. Recalling her decisive words, "Kill him," he was momentarily at a loss for words: "Who is he?"

"Don't worry, sir, that's my guard." Shen Tangning replied, then turned to meet Liu Yifu's complicated gaze, realizing something, "Does sir think he shouldn't have been killed?"

Liu Yifu avoided her gaze and frowned slightly: "The law will punish him."

Shen Tangning suddenly laughed: "You're so naive, sir."

She said this purely out of emotion, without a trace of sarcasm.

Aside from Chi Yan, Liu Yifu was indeed one of the most naive people she had ever met.

It is truly a miracle that he has been able to rise so far in the officialdom.

Yuan Zhao had already gained the upper hand. The man in black, seeing the situation was not good, tried to escape but was caught and brought back. Just as he was about to pierce Liu Yifu's heart with his sword, she suddenly raised her hand and covered Liu Yifu's eyes.

"The lord wanted to spare his life, but he wanted the lord's life."

Liu Yifu froze, the warm touch on his eyelids was fleeting, and he inevitably lost all his senses, leaving only that warmth.

However, the sensation was fleeting, and Shen Tangning had already withdrawn her hand.

As Liu Yifu's vision cleared, he saw the man in black spitting blood; he was already dead.

He was annoyed and subconsciously glared at Shen Tangning.

Was she deliberately distracting him?

"If you wish to punish me, we can discuss it later." Meeting his gaze, Shen Tangning calmly curled her lips, then her brows furrowed suddenly. "This place is not safe to linger."

With such a commotion, there was absolutely no reaction outside?

She soon found out why.

Terrified screams rang out simultaneously from all directions—

"Fire!"

Shen Tangning's expression changed slightly. Was killing someone to silence them not enough, they also had to destroy the evidence?

"Walk!"

"Why is there such a big fire? Run!"

When Hua's mother rushed out in a panic and saw this scene, she felt as if the sky had fallen!
