Since everyone had agreed to leave at four o'clock, I quickly fell asleep in the car after lying down in the seat.

It's early July now, the hottest time of the year. Around 2:30, I was woken up by the heat. I touched my clothes, which were soaked with sweat, and prepared to get out of the car to get some fresh air and have a smoke.

Just as I sat up, a furious roar suddenly came from outside the car: "Stop! Who goes there?"

I was startled by the sound. Looking out the car window, I saw a figure running quickly toward our convoy. Two security guards on night duty rushed toward him with shouts.

Upon seeing the two security guards rushing towards him, the man immediately raised his shoulder bag.

Thump!

A gunshot rang out in the night, and immediately one of the security guards fell to the ground. Without hesitation, another rushed forward and tackled the man.

Immediately afterwards, several more figures appeared from the shadows and engaged in a fierce battle with the other security personnel.

Gunshots rang out not far from the car, waking everyone up. Monkey groggily opened his eyes and looked outside, immediately exclaiming in surprise, "Holy crap, what's going on? Young Master Duan, should we go down and help?"

"No need! The Jiang family's security guards are all outside. These people are definitely coming for us. Getting out of the car now will only cause them trouble."

Looking at the chaotic crowd outside, I frowned and said, "These people are crazy! They actually dared to fire shots in public. They're a bunch of lunatics!"

"He used a homemade gun that could only fire one bullet before it broke down."

Lin Que interjected, "This kind of gun is very simple to make. When we were kids, we often made several of them ourselves to hunt pheasants and rabbits in the mountains. However, this kind of gun is not very powerful. If you are too far away, it is difficult to kill a rabbit."

Upon hearing Lin Que say that, I immediately sensed something was amiss.

These people came over in the middle of the night; they must be planning to ambush us.

Since it was a sneak attack, the less noise the better. How could they possibly open fire directly, especially with such a crude, low-lethal gun?

The only explanation is that they wanted to attract the attention of the security guards.

Thinking of this, I pretended to push open the car door: "Something's wrong, everyone get out of the car as soon as possible."

"Buzz!"

Just as I was speaking, several motorcycles sped up from the other side of us, and each motorcycle had two people on it.

As the motorcycles bounced, the flames flickered in the hands of the people behind them.

At first, I thought they were holding torches.

But once the motorcycles got close to our vehicle, the riders started throwing things at us in unison.

With the sound of shattering glass, our car was instantly engulfed in flames.

Molotov cocktails!

As the flames burned intensely, our car started making strange noises, and the monkey pretended to open the car door.

I immediately stopped the monkey: "Don't move! The air pressure inside and outside the car is unbalanced right now. If you open the door rashly, the flames outside will be sucked in!"

Jiang Man nodded in agreement: "Duan Shenxing is right. The vehicles we are in are fireproof and bulletproof. There's no need to be too nervous. The people outside are there to protect us and will come to put out the fire soon!"

As soon as he finished speaking, some of the security guards outside set off to provide support for us, while simultaneously using fire extinguishers to put out the fire.

Once the flames had subsided, I covered my hands with my clothes and began to call everyone to get off the bus.

"Buzz!"

As soon as we got out of the car, an SUV pulled up beside us, and the lead bodyguard rushed over, saying quickly, "Miss Jiang, the situation here is very critical, you must leave immediately!"

"No, we can't leave by car! These people made a commotion to lure us out. If we leave by car now, wouldn't that be tantamount to actively reporting our location to them?"

I refused the bodyguard's offer, looked at the chaotic crowd around me, and waved to Jiang Man and the others: "Go to the car in the back, it'll be faster."

At this moment, the attackers were still fighting with the security guards. Flames were raging all around us, and the scene was in complete chaos.

The car I took Jiang Man and the others to was the minibus that the security guards used.

After getting on the bus, I grabbed a travel bag from the luggage rack, hastily pulled out a security uniform and put it on: "Everyone change into security uniforms, let's take advantage of the chaos and sneak out of here as quickly as possible!"

When the others heard my suggestion, they all quickly started searching.

In a short while, we were all changed into security uniforms. I jumped out of the car, brandished my baton, and charged into the crowd, shouting, "Brothers, let's take care of these bastards!"

As soon as the words were spoken, we and the surrounding security personnel rushed towards the attackers in a swarm.

The security guards around us were worried about Jiang Man's safety and stayed close by.

Seeing them, I growled at the security captain, "Get your men scattered! So many of you huddled together, as if you're afraid the enemy won't know there's someone important here? Charge in and create chaos, then we'll retreat!"

Upon hearing this, the security captain waved for the others to disperse, then followed me and, taking advantage of the fact that no one was looking, shoved a pistol into my hand: "Mr. Duan, you should know how to use this, right?"

I took the cold, heavy pistol and was slightly taken aback: "What do you mean by this?"

"Miss Jiang's safety is of paramount importance and cannot be compromised in the slightest. Therefore, if you encounter any danger, I expect you to shoot without hesitation to protect Miss Jiang! If you cause any trouble by shooting her, Tianxia Group will bear all the consequences!"

The security chief threw me a sentence, then rushed forward and began fighting with one of the attackers.

I hesitated for a moment, put the pistol in my pocket, watched as someone rushed up to me, grabbed his wrist with one hand, and knocked him to the ground with a single blow.

During the three months of intensive training in Fengmen Village, I suffered inhuman torture at the hands of the Ox-Head and Horse-Face demons, but my martial arts skills did improve significantly. Facing these attackers who rushed at me, I could fight three against one with almost no pressure.

We weaved through the crowd, quickly carving a path through them.

When we parked our car earlier, we wanted some peace and quiet, so we parked it in an open area on the edge of town, next to a large grove of trees.

I dodged an attack from a young man, knocked him unconscious with a backhand elbow strike, and was the first to disappear into the woods.

Jiang Man quickly caught up and said to me, "Our motorcycles are parked outside town. Do you want to go around and take them directly?"

I waved my hand: "No, wait a bit longer! These people attacked the camp to force us out. There are probably people blocking the roads outside the town. Let's hide here for a while and wait until the riots outside completely subside before we leave."
