Her face was extremely thin, with loose skin that looked terrifying in the dim light.
“Your elders are like grandmas.” Li Yijin mustered her courage: “What kind of skill is it to bully a little girl like me? What have we done to you? Did we dig up your ancestral graves? Why are you always picking on us?”
"You're practically in your grave, why are you making such a fuss? Can't you just relax, retire, and wait to die?"
"Little girl, you've got quite the sharp tongue." Granny Hong wasn't angry. She grabbed her snake staff and walked over to Li Yijin's side.
"Tell me, what exactly do you want? What grudge does our Li family have against you?" Li Yijin said angrily.
“If it weren’t for the Li family, our family wouldn’t have suffered such a devastating blow.” Granny Hong stopped beside her, her tone ruthless: “Revenge will start with you, then we’ll kill them one by one, until every single member of the Li family is dead.”
“Your Qiming Group will also be taken over by us. Only when we wipe out your Li family will we have achieved our revenge.”
"I don't know anything about your damn family, but from what you're saying, you have an inside man in Qiming Group. Could it be my stepmother?" Li Yijin wasn't stupid; she quickly guessed the crux of the matter.
"I knew it. She was a stepmother and she was so good to me. How could a normal person do that? Sure enough, she still had ulterior motives."
“Little girl, you’re very smart, and you must learn things quite quickly.” Granny Hong sneered, “If you weren’t my enemy, I would really like to take you as my apprentice.”
"Pah, I don't want to be your apprentice, dealing with corpses and insects every day, living in a dark world where I don't even dare to see the sun. If I were you, I would have killed myself long ago." Li Yijin's mouth was still sharp.
"And I advise you to let me leave here, otherwise my brother... and my husband will definitely not let you off the hook."
"Your husband? You mean Ye Xingchen?" Granny Hong sneered, "Don't worry, he'll die just the same after tonight."
Seeing her chance, Li Yijin rushed out, pushed open the door, and was about to escape.
But two burly men stood in front of her, and as they slowly turned around, Li Yijin felt a chill run down her spine the instant they turned.
These two burly men were conspicuously headless.
Her vision went black, and she collapsed to the ground, completely unconscious.
Granny Hong slowly walked out and saw Li Yijin, who had fainted from fright. She was very satisfied. She stretched out a hand and dragged Li Yijin back into the room.
"Found her." Inside the villa, Ye Xingchen suddenly opened his eyes; he had already sensed Li Yijin's location.
"Where is it? I'll bring men over." Li Tianqi was delighted.
"No need, I can go alone. Besides, I'm not sure if they're deliberately trying to lure me there." Ye Xingchen turned and left: "You should move to another place immediately; it's not safe here anymore."
"Okay." Li Tianqi nodded, and he led a team of people to get into the car to move.
Tonight in Beijing is destined to be an extraordinary night.
During Li Tianqi's transfer, his car tire blew out, and immediately a group of well-trained mercenaries armed with weapons attacked.
Li Tianqi's bodyguards were no pushovers either, but limited by their weapons and the terrain, they were quickly overwhelmed and unable to raise their heads.
With a thud, accompanied by a dull groan, the bodyguard in front of Li Tianqi collapsed.
Immediately afterwards, several mercenaries, armed with weapons, pointed them at Li Tianqi's head.
Li Tianqi raised his hands above his head and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, give up resistance."
His bodyguard team is now almost gone, most of them killed in the hail of bullets.
Rather than putting up a stubborn resistance, it might be better to show weakness first, which could perhaps give us a glimmer of hope.
Moreover, he believed that Ye Xingchen would have made arrangements.
Xiao Li stood in front of Li Tianqi, holding a hidden weapon in her hand, but Li Tianqi protected her behind him.
Although Xiao Li was quite strong, she couldn't hold out for long against an armed assassin. Li Tianqi didn't have the habit of letting women take bullets for him.
"You are Li Tianqi?" A short, dark-skinned Southeast Asian man stepped forward, staring directly at Li Tianqi with a cold gaze.
“It’s me.” Li Tianqi nodded. “I don’t care who sent you, I’ll pay three times whatever price they offer.”
"What do you take me for?" The man grinned. "In our line of work, the most important thing is to follow the rules. If you take someone's money, you're going to kill them today."
"Who sent you?" Li Tianqi asked. "I'm about to die, can't you let me die knowing why?"
"Sorry, we also have rules. Even if the target is about to die, we can't say anything. Men, take care of him." The man waved his hand.
Several assassins behind him immediately stepped forward, took out their guns, and pointed them at Li Tianqi.
Just then, a figure flashed and descended from the sky. Si Qianyu, dressed in a yellow robe, flicked his sleeves, and countless cold lights, fan-shaped, swept away in the darkness.
Thud... Most of the people fell to the ground. Si Qianyu was at the half-step Celestial Phenomenon realm, so ordinary firearms posed little threat to her.
Moreover, anyone armed who gets close to her will be unilaterally slaughtered by her.
With another wave of his hand, the other half of the assassins also fell down.
"Who are you?" The assassin leader was taken aback. He gripped a knife tightly and stared intently at Si Qianyu.
Si Qianyu completely ignored him, pointed her right hand into the air, and a death nail was released from her sleeve. *Poof*... the nail entered her forehead and exploded into a cloud of blood mist from the back of her head.
Thump... The assassin leader fell to the ground, dead.
A gust of wind blew by, and a faint smell of blood wafted over.
"Thank you very much. May I ask who you are?" Li Tianqi finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Si Qianyu with surprise.
"Si Qianyu, Ye Xingchen sent me." Si Qianyu said calmly, "I'm in charge of your safety now."
"Thank you." Li Tianqi was very grateful.
"Senior sister is from the Three Thousand Towers?" Xiao Li silently looked at Si Qianyu.
“Yes, judging from your technique, you should also be from the Three Thousand Towers. It’s just that we belong to different places, so we’ve never met.” Si Qianyu looked at Xiao Li.
“Yes, I’m on the outside.” Xiao Li nodded.
"Let's go. The Three Thousand Tower no longer exists. From now on, you don't need to call me Senior Sister anymore. Just call me Sister." Si Qianyu smiled faintly.
"Mm." Xiao Li nodded heavily.
Li Yijin woke up again, but this time, her hands and feet were tied up, and judging from the scene in the room, she had been moved to another place.
Grandma Hong was still lighting incense and candles in front of the shrine, but this time she drew another shrine.
