Night Tomb was never a flustered person, and he remained extremely calm even when facing these people.
He narrowed his eyes, looking at the unfamiliar faces before him, and for a moment he really couldn't remember which family they belonged to: "I, Ye, thought I had concealed my whereabouts very well, but you guys are quite capable of tracking me down."
"Boss Ye, you flatter me. I may not have that ability, but that doesn't mean others don't." The man grinned and said, "I know you've treated your men well over the years, but as the saying goes, people strive for higher positions, and water flows downhill. No matter how good you are to him, he can only ever be a second-in-command at best. Being constantly suppressed by you is nothing compared to the satisfaction of being the boss."
"Who is it?" Ye Mu asked in a hoarse voice. He knew perfectly well how he treated his men. But after mentally reviewing the list of men, he realized that none of them matched his description.
The scarred man who had spoken earlier gave a sarcastic smile: "Who else could it be? Of course, it's your gang's third-in-command, Strategist Luo! You knew about his family situation when you took him in. Did you really think you were the Virgin Mary who could reform him?"
Ye Mu ignored him.
Back when he was still unsettled, he gathered a lot of people around him because of his "kind heart." Over the years, his power has grown so much thanks to the help of these people behind the scenes. He never expected that these same former good helpers would stab him in the back now.
"However, although this incident shows you're having a bit of bad luck, Boss Ye, you're usually quite the ladies' man! Look, even our unattainable beauty, Actress Ruan, has fallen into your hands." The bald man glanced at Lu Qingyan, a hint of jealousy creeping into Ye Mu's eyes. "Beauties are like delicate flowers; even we grown men have to protect them carefully to avoid any mishaps. Since you're going to die anyway, why not just give her to us?"
The bald man even sucked on his saliva as he spoke, looking extremely lewd. Judging by his appearance alone, he was almost fifty years old; wasn't he afraid of chipping his old teeth while cheating?
Lu Qingyan wasn't angry; she had already made up her mind! T_T She'd rather stay with Ye Mu; these people were just too ugly for her to bear.
Ye Mu wasn't angry. A cold smile appeared on his lips as he held Lu Qingyan tightly in his arms.
His hand, hidden in his sleeve, twitched slightly: "You guys have a good idea, but unfortunately, it seems none of us will be able to leave today. I really regret not bringing more bullets with me; we'll have to resort to this last resort."
With a loud bang, an explosion rang out, and almost everyone was blown in two. Ye Mu and Lu Qingyan were a little further away, so they were alright. Lu Qingyan was also being held tightly in Ye Mu's arms, so in the end, only Lu Qingyan was knocked unconscious but survived.
When Lu Qingyan woke up, she could still feel the warmth of someone's blood on her face. She remembered that he had given her a note. She took it out of her pocket; it only had one short sentence: I still hope you live well.
Lu Qingyan lay on the bed and wailed, terrified that she would never see that person again. No one had ever been willing to give their life for her like he had, even though she knew she shouldn't do this, a heart isn't so easily fooled.
The heartbroken Lu Qingyan had no idea that she was now living in a children's room, and that her hands were small and chubby.
The sunlight streaming in through the window cast a warm glow over the room, as if all her past experiences were ultimately just an absurd dream.
