Just as the man drew his gun to fire, Qingyun appeared out of nowhere and kicked him in the face, knocking him to the ground.
"Grandpa, time is short. You go first, I'll take care of these two." Qingyun lowered his voice. If they made too much noise, it would easily attract Qin Lang's attention, and that would be troublesome.
Upon hearing this, the old man didn't delay, nodded slightly, and then quickly rushed to another room at the end of the corridor.
Qingyun stayed behind to deal with the two men alone. At the same time, he deliberately sabotaged the power switch, plunging the entire Maple Riverside into darkness.
Although the corridor was pitch black, the old man knew the way well and quickly found his way to the room door.
At this moment, due to the thick smoke filling the entire corridor and the sudden power outage, the guards who were originally stationed at the doors of each room began to wander around to check what was going on.
Taking advantage of the chaos, the old man arrived at Mu Wenya's room. Instead of going in through the door, he used a grappling hook to climb up the windowsill, smashed the window, and jumped inside.
Mu Wenya couldn't sleep. Suddenly, she heard the sound of the window shattering, which startled her so much that she immediately jumped out of bed.
"Who are you……"
Just as she was about to scream in panic, the old man stopped her. "Wenya, it's your father."
"Dad, how did you... where did you come in from? Get out quickly, don't let Qin Lang find out."
The old man ran to Mu Wenya's bedside and knelt down with his back to her. "Daughter, come up here quickly, Daddy is going to take you out."
“Dad, you… there are so many people outside, we can’t escape.” Mu Wenya shook her head. “Dad, Qin Lang has promised me that as long as I marry him, he won’t hurt our family. You’ll be alright then…”
"Stop talking! I can't let my daughter marry such a beast! Don't worry, Dad will get you out of here. Once you're out, you can live a good life with Ouyang. Don't worry about anything else. Listen to me, come on up!"
The old man was getting anxious. Time was running out; if it got any later, they might not be able to escape.
Mu Wenya pondered for a moment, then climbed onto the old man's back.
The old man was getting on in years and it was a bit difficult for him. But he still stood up and ran quickly towards the door.
As soon as they opened the door, two assassins, brandishing knives and guns, stared at them menacingly.
"You old geezer, you dare to try and kidnap someone? You don't want to live anymore!"
One of the bearded men, wielding a large machete, swung it down hard at the old man.
Mu Wenya felt dizzy and instinctively screamed, "Ah—"
Before he could finish speaking, Qingyun ran up from behind the man, spun around, and kicked him on the head. The man and his machete fell to the ground with a thud.
"Damn it, there are accomplices!" Another man, brandishing a pistol, was about to pull the trigger menacingly.
No sooner said than done, Xiao Fang suddenly sprang out, kicking the gun out of the man's hand, covering his mouth, and stomping hard on his wrist. The man grimaced in pain, but with his mouth covered, he couldn't make a sound.
Xiao Fang and Qing Yun exchanged a glance, their unspoken understanding evident.
"Grandpa, please take Miss out. We'll handle things here."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"By the way, sir, I just instructed a man in black to wait outside the courtyard. As soon as you step out of the courtyard, you'll see him arrive in a helicopter. Just get on the helicopter then," Qingyun instructed.
