Lu Zhaoming gripped the silver light blade in his hand, feeling the power surging within him. It was as if he had activated a cheat code, and he instantly took off from the spot.
"Wow, this feeling is just too good!"
He looked up at Xiao Dao, who was standing in front of him with a wary expression, and at the approaching footsteps behind him, a dangerous smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"Young man, are you sure you want to stop me? I'm not a good person; if pushed to the limit, I'm capable of anything. Besides, do you really understand your brother's current situation?"
Xiao Dao was stunned by Lu Zhaoming's sudden imposing manner, but still stubbornly said, "My brother is doing this for my own good! He wouldn't harm me!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, what a silly little brother." Lu Zhaoming shook his head. "Your brother is being controlled by someone now, he has no choice in what he does. Do you really think he wants to go against you? Or rather, do you really think he wants you to die?"
Xiao Dao was stunned.
“You don’t believe me? That’s fine, seeing is believing. I can help you save your brother, but you have to give me some time.” Lu Zhaoming paused, then lowered his voice and said, “Besides, you have to believe that I am more trustworthy than those people.”
After saying that, he winked at Bai Yu.
Bai Yu understood immediately and began setting up some simple traps around the area.
"Don't move!" Xiao Dao immediately tensed up when he saw Bai Yu's movements.
"Don't worry, it's just to buy time. If you really want to save your brother, then don't get in our way," Lu Zhaoming said calmly.
Xiao Dao gritted his teeth, but ultimately did not stop him.
Time ticked by, and the footsteps behind them grew closer.
Lu Zhaoming knew that he had to resolve the current predicament as soon as possible.
"Alright, time's almost up. Young man, now you can choose to believe me, or watch helplessly as your brother is used and ultimately suffers utter ruin." Lu Zhaoming's voice was full of seduction.

"Fine, I'll help you! But if you dare to lie to me, I will absolutely not let you get away with it!"
"Don't worry, I guarantee you'll thank yourself for this decision today." Lu Zhaoming patted Xiaodao on the shoulder with a smile on his face.
Done!
Back at the safe point, Lu Zhaoming immediately began to work on breaking the psychological suggestion device in Wang Lei's mind.
"This kind of low-level contraption thinks it can control people? It's so naive and immature," Lu Zhaoming said disdainfully as he operated the instrument in his hand.
After some maneuvering, Lu Zhaoming successfully cracked the psychological suggestion device in Wang Lei's mind.
Wang Lei's eyes gradually regained their clarity, and he looked at Lu Zhaoming with a guilty expression on his face.
"Zhaoming, I'm so sorry..."
"Alright, enough of this nonsense. Now, tell me, who exactly is behind this?" Lu Zhaoming asked coldly.
Wang Lei hesitated for a moment, but finally told the whole story.
"It's the Scorpions... They threatened me with my life using a knife, forcing me to obey them..."
"A scorpion?" Lu Zhaoming narrowed his eyes. "It seems that this matter is more complicated than I imagined."
Just then, Xiao Dao walked in. He looked at Wang Lei,
"Brother, is what he said true?"
Wang Lei nodded, avoiding Xiao Dao's eyes.
"Brother, why did you do this? Do you know how worried I was about you?" Xiao Dao completely broke down. He rushed up and hugged Wang Lei, bursting into tears.
Lu Zhaoming looked at the scene before him and sighed inwardly.
"Alright, stop crying. Now is not the time to be sad. The Scorpion's men will be here soon, we must leave as soon as possible," Lu Zhaoming said.
"I know a place where I can hide temporarily," Xiao Dao said, wiping away her tears.
"Oh? Tell me about it." Lu Zhaoming became interested.
“I know an abandoned warehouse. The terrain there is complex and easy to defend, making it difficult to attack. We can use it to deal with the Poison Scorpion’s people,” Xiao Dao said.
“Okay, it’s settled then. Bai Yu, you take some men to the warehouse to set up the traps. Su Li, you come with me to prepare some things.” Lu Zhaoming made the decision decisively.
Everyone immediately sprang into action and headed towards the warehouse.
Sure enough, the scorpion's men caught up quickly.
"Boss, they're heading towards the warehouse!"
"Chase them! We absolutely cannot let them get away!"
At the leader's command, the group immediately sped up and chased after the warehouse.
Upon arriving near the warehouse, Lu Zhaoming immediately began setting up traps.
"Bai Yu, leave some traces around the warehouse to deliberately lure them in," Lu Zhaoming instructed.
"Understood!" Bai Yu nodded and led his men to leave some messy footprints around the warehouse.
Lu Zhaoming and Su Li then quietly sneaked into the warehouse and began installing some specially made fuel canisters.
"These fuel canisters were specially prepared by me. They can explode instantly with tremendous force from just the slightest spark," Su Li said proudly.
"Not bad, that'll give them enough trouble now." Lu Zhaoming smiled with satisfaction.
With everything prepared, Lu Zhaoming and Su Li quietly left the warehouse.
Before long, the Scorpion's men caught up with them and arrived near the warehouse.
"Boss, there are footprints here, they must be inside!"
"Charge in! Don't let a single one escape!"
The scorpion's men swarmed in and stormed into the warehouse.
The moment they entered the warehouse, Lu Zhaoming detonated the fuel canisters.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the entire warehouse was instantly engulfed in flames.
