"You madman! Tell me where they're being held!" Lu Yanting's veins bulged, his anger almost overwhelming his reason.
The screen projected on the wall suddenly shook, and a gray thing suddenly darted out of the picture. A rat suddenly ran towards Qiu Mang's direction.
Qiu Mang screamed in fright and kept kicking her feet to try to shoo the rat away.
At the same time, the rope binding Xu Jingyan's hands was untied. She looked at the rat with unusually shiny fur and bright, piercing eyes, and subconsciously shrank back.
"Xu Jingyan! Quickly help me untie the ropes on my hands!" Qiu Mang shouted as he stared at the rat, as if they were engaged in a game of strategy.
Xu Jingyan huddled in the corner, trembling, her hands shaking as she tried to untie the ropes binding her feet. But as soon as she touched the ropes, her hands completely lost their strength, let alone untie them.
Seeing Lu Yanting's almost fiery gaze, Lu Haifeng grew even more smug: "Want to save them? Beg me! Just say the word, and I'll not only tell you the location, but I'll also personally take you to see them. How about it?"
"Lu! Hai! Feng!" Lu Yanting abruptly rolled up his sleeves and slammed his fist into Lu Haifeng's chin. "I'm warning you, release him immediately! Otherwise, I'll make you regret ever stepping into China!"
Upon seeing this, Qiu Hui immediately stepped forward to protect his master, but was stopped by Yan Kai.
Yan Kai's eyes were as cold as knives. "Sir, it's not fair to gang up on someone. A one-on-one fight would be much fairer, wouldn't you say?"
Qiu Hui scoffed disdainfully and reached out to push Yan Kai away, but was startled by the force the other man unleashed. He then realized that this seemingly ordinary man was far from easy to deal with.
Lu Yanting's fist was filled with overwhelming rage. Lu Haifeng was knocked back, barely managing to regain his balance against the wall. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sneered, "Is this how you beg for help?"
His response was an even fiercer kick. Lu Haifeng couldn't dodge in time and fell heavily to the ground, clutching his chest and coughing violently.
"Brother Feng!" Qiu Hui was extremely anxious, but Yan Kai held him firmly in place.
During the struggle, Yan Kai seized a moment of distraction and swiftly subdued Qiu Hui. In less than a minute, Lu Haifeng and Qiu Hui were tied up like dumplings and thrown into a corner.
Lu Haifeng couldn't help but feel annoyed. He had been too confident and shouldn't have dismissed his men earlier.
"It's solved, Mr. Lu." Yan Kai clapped his hands, his movements fluid and efficient.
Lu Yanting nodded, his gaze sweeping across the four walls before finally settling on an iron gate.
Despite the excellent soundproofing, he could still vaguely hear screams coming from behind the door.
Adding to what I just saw in the video, there was also a door in the room where Qiu Mang and Xu Jingyan were, and that door looked exactly like the iron door in front of me.
So, without a doubt, Qiu Mang and the others must be locked behind this door.
Without hesitation, he raised his leg and kicked the iron gate hard. However, the iron gate did not budge, only making a dull thud.
Seeing this, Yan Kai also joined in kicking down the door.
From the corner, Lu Haifeng let out a triumphant laugh: "Save your energy! This is a specially reinforced door; you can't get in at all!"
Lu Yanting abruptly stopped kicking the door, his military boots making a screeching sound as they pounded the floor.
He turned and approached Lu Haifeng, his chilling aura almost tangible: "Open it."
Lu Haifeng lowered his eyes, chuckled softly twice, his Adam's apple bobbing in the shadows: "What did you say, brother?"
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Yanting's iron-like hand had already gripped his neck, his knuckles so white they almost pierced his skin.
"Let go of Brother Feng! Come at me if you have a problem!" Qiu Hui struggled like a trapped beast, trying to pounce, but was knocked to the ground by Yan Kai's side kick.
Yan Kai's military boots pressed down on his back, his cold laugh mixed with the sound of metal scraping: "What's the rush? We'll settle the accounts with you when it's time to settle the accounts!"
Lu Haifeng glanced at the time, a bloody chuckle escaping his throat: "Good brother, let go. As long as you let go, I'll reunite you two immediately."
He coughed so hard he bent over, blood droplets clinging to his eyelashes. "If my brother were going to make a fortune, I would definitely stop him. But now he's going to his death. What reason do I have to stop him? You agree, right?"
Lu Yanting looked at him coldly and slowly released his hand.
"Cough cough cough..."
After coughing several times, Lu Haifeng raised an eyebrow. "How can I open the door if you don't untie me?"
"You'd better not try anything funny!" Yan Kai warned.
"rest assured!"
Yan Kai untied Lu Haifeng, who immediately took out a remote control from his pocket, pressed it twice towards the iron gate, and the iron gate opened immediately.
Lu Yanting and Yan Kai exchanged a glance and nodded. Then, they split up. Lu Yanting ran towards the room to prevent Lu Haifeng from playing any tricks, while Yan Kai stayed behind to grab the remote control.
The moment Lu Yanting ran into the room, the iron door closed again.
In the room, just as the rat was about to bite Qiu Mang, she stomped her foot and killed the rat.
But it was still not over. The timers on the two of them showed that there were still three minutes left. Xu Jingyan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, constantly shouting and yelling.
Qiu Mang, on the other hand, was much calmer—no, not calm, but desperate!
She seemed to have accepted the fact that she only had three minutes left to live, and she knew that no one would come to save her.
As the iron gate opened and closed, a person rushed into the room.
Upon hearing this, Xu Jingyan and Qiu Mang simultaneously looked up at the tall figure running in.
When Xu Jingyan saw that it was Lu Yanting, her eyes lit up instantly. "Yanting! You're here! I knew you would come to save me! You wouldn't abandon me, right?"
Lu Yanting's gaze swept over Qiu Mang, and the two looked at each other. It had only been two days since they last met, how come this woman had become so haggard?
Looking at the precious man in front of her, Qiu Mang knew that Lu Yanting and Xu Jingyan were childhood friends. Even if there was no romantic relationship between them, they were still childhood friends.
With only three minutes left, he can only save one person. She and Lu Yanting are over, so he's most likely here to save Xu Jingyan, right?
Thinking of this, the expectation in Qiu Mang's eyes slowly faded and turned into despair. She slowly lowered her head, as if she was preparing to die.
The next second, she felt someone grab her wrist, and the man's hand was nervously but methodically helping her untie the rope.
"Yan Ting!" Xu Jingyan looked at the man who was half-squatting behind Qiu Mang.
"Yan Ting! I'm dying! Can't you save me first?" Xu Jingyan's almost pleading voice echoed throughout the room.
After Qiu Mang's hands were untied, Lu Yanting began to untie the ropes on her feet, without saying a word the entire time.
"Lu Yanting! How could you do this to me? We grew up together! Have you forgotten all the friendship we've shared over the years?" The urgent beeping of the alarm clock signaled the countdown to their deaths.
