The man slowly raised his head, looked at Lü Chen opposite him, and said in a tone that carried a strong sense of pressure, "Lü Chen, I'll send Dr. Tao over there, and you send Mr. Jin over to me, how about that?"
Lu Chen was taken aback and was about to refuse when Lu Yanting beside him said in a very low voice, "Say yes! So many years have passed! I want to avenge what happened back then myself!"
After hesitating for a long time, Lü Chen looked at Zhao Lei again and said, "Alright! Then let's trade our lives!"
The two reached an agreement.
Lu Chen escorted Lu Yanting to the door, and a bodyguard from the opposite side also escorted Dr. Tao over. The hostage exchange was successful.
Lu Yanting, sporting a face resembling Kim Hwan-wook, slowly walked towards Zhao Lei.
Lu Chen and Qiu Mang watched Lu Yanting walk up to Zhao Lei. Suddenly, Jin Huanxu, who was kneeling at Zhao Lei's feet, shouted, "He is Lu Yanting!"
Everyone was stunned!
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yanting swiftly untied the ropes from his wrists and quickly pulled out a gun, pressing it against Zhao Lei's temple.
"you!"
Zhao Lei stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xin and a group of men quickly surrounded him, pointing their dark gun barrels at him. "What are you doing? Release Boss Zhao right now!"
Lu Yanting's tone was icy, "I'll release him, but all of you put down your guns! Get them a car! Let them evacuate safely!"
Zhao Lei took a deep breath, "Do as he says!"
Although Chen Xin was somewhat unwilling, he still did as instructed.
Several cars stopped at the factory gate, the gate opened, and more than a hundred people came out.
As Lu Yanting watched them get into the car one by one, Qiu Mang and Lü Chen were at the back. Just as they were about to open the car door and get in, a woman pounced on Qiu Mang and knocked her to the ground like a madwoman.
The next second, she pulled a knife out of her pocket and held it to Qiu Mang's neck.
Just as Lü Chen was about to step forward, he heard the woman shout, "Lu Yanting! Your woman is in my hands now! Release President Zhao right now! Otherwise..." The woman pressed the knife against Qiu Mang's neck slightly, drawing out a trickle of blood.
Lu Yanting's hand holding the gun trembled slightly, and he roared, "Stop!"
Qiu Mang recognized Lian Jie's voice. "Lian Jie, why do you have to stay here? Wouldn't it be better to go back and reunite with your family?"
Sister Lian chuckled softly. "You think I'm stupid? Do you think I'll survive if I leave here?"
After saying that, she looked at Lu Yanting with a fierce expression, "Lu Yanting! Did you hear me? If you want your woman to live, release President Zhao!"
As she spoke, she exerted force again, and more blood gushed out.
"Don't……"
The man's voice was trembling.
He put down his gun.
The next second, Chen Xin pinned his hand behind his back.
With a "smack," Zhao Lei slapped Lu Yanting across the face. The human skin mask fell to the ground, revealing a delicate and handsome face.
"Lu Yanting!"
Qiu Mang looked at the red handprint on the man's face and screamed in distress.
"So heartbroken? Don't worry, I'll make sure you die together!" Sister Lian said, pushing Qiu Mang to President Zhao's side.
Seeing that everyone around her was now one of their own, Sister Lian released the knife from Qiu Mang's neck and shook her hand.
Zhao Lei chuckled softly, "Lu Yanting, Lu Yanting, I should have taken your life years ago! I never thought that after all these years, you would still end up in my hands!"
"You've made a mess of this place, I won't let you die all at once, I'll torture you to death little by little!"
Something suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he pulled Qiu Mang into his arms. "You like this woman, right? You came here to save her, right? Then I'll make you watch her being toyed with!"
As he spoke, he lowered his head to kiss Qiu Mang's face, but Qiu Mang felt nauseous and quickly turned her face away.
Lu Yanting struggled, his chest heaving violently. He kicked Chen Xin away and started fighting with Zhao Lei.
Seeing this, the bodyguards around him all drew their guns, wanting to aim them at Lu Yanting. However, the two were fighting too fiercely to distinguish friend from foe, and they couldn't fire.
Finally, Zhao Lei was pinned down by Lu Yanting and punched hard in the head several times.
Seeing this, Chen Xin immediately pointed his gun at Lu Yanting. The moment he pulled the trigger, Qiu Mang's eyes widened. She didn't care about anything else and ran directly towards Lu Yanting.
"Boom!"
Qiu Mang then collapsed into a pool of blood, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Lu Yanting was stunned for a moment, then turned around and hugged her, his eyes filled with panic, "Amang! Amang!"
Qiu Mang opened his mouth to speak, but the moment he opened it, blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.
"After so many days, I can finally see your real face..."
The bullet struck her lower back, and blood streamed down her back. She frowned and reached out to touch Lu Yanting's face, but her hand fell limply to the ground halfway up.
Lu Yanting felt as if a piece of his heart had been ripped out, the pain so intense it felt like his brain was about to explode.
"Amang, don't talk..." He was afraid the girl would exhaust herself. "After I've dealt with them, we'll go home! Ali is still waiting for us at home!"
Qiu Mang forced a smile and nodded weakly, "Okay..."
Lu Yanting picked up the girl, who was barely breathing. His white shirt was covered in her blood. He stood up, looking like a demon king who had come out of hell, his eyes filled with bloodthirsty killing intent.
Even though the bodyguards were all holding guns, they couldn't help but tremble when they saw him like this.
Lu Yanting walked to the car and handed the girl to Lü Chen. "Get in!"
Chen Xin mustered his courage and raised his gun, but Zhao Lei quickly stopped him, saying, "Let them go! We have so many men lying in ambush; they can't possibly leave Huangtu Village!"
Chen Xin then put down his gun, and the car slowly started, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Only after the roar of the car faded away did Lu Yanting turn his gaze away.
Only Lu Yanting, Zhao Lei, Chen Xin, Sister Lian, and the dying Jin Huanxu remained at the scene, along with the burly men behind them.
Zhao Lei calmly took out the flattened cigarette pack from his pocket, took out a cigarette, and Chen Xin immediately lit a lighter and stepped forward to light it for him.
Smoke quickly billowed from Zhao Lei's mouth. "Lu Yanting! Why are you doing this? I advise you not to waste your time! You can't escape! I've already laid assassins here. With just one Lü Chen, you have no chance of winning!"
Lu Yanting chuckled softly, "Zhao Lei, how did you know that I only have Lü Chen as an accomplice?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of even more burly men surrounded him. They were dressed in camouflage uniforms and wore helmets. Each of them carried one of Zhao Lei's men as easily as if they were carrying a chicken.
Zhao Lei was taken aback. "Who are you?"
