Although Pei Ling has focused her energy on her studies in recent years, don't forget that she grew up following Qin Sheng around since she was a child.
Since childhood, the two of them had stayed alone in Zhangxi Village. They were often bullied by the village children and even adults, but Qin Sheng always managed to beat them up.
Later on, Qin Sheng would leave from time to time, and she would occasionally go out with her, encountering all sorts of troublemakers along the way.
Although Qin Sheng usually did the dirty work while she cheered or watched from the sidelines, and she never actually killed anyone, she wasn't really that afraid.
Pei Ling didn't move.
The hand holding the dagger didn't tremble at all; it just waited steadily for the other person to run into it.
In an instant, the bleeding intensified.
Fortunately, although Wang Ruiqiu was foolish and inexplicably confident, she wasn't truly reckless. She avoided the major artery during the collision, thus preventing a bizarre suicide tragedy.
But I was really scared.
Not only was she frightened, but the people from Tianhongmen were also frightened. They all retreated a distance and no longer dared to point their guns at Pei Ling's head.
They realized that this girl, who looked honest and simple, was actually very bold and was a wolf in sheep's clothing.
This makes things a bit tricky.
Although Wang Ruiqiu has made repeated mistakes and angered the sect leader over the years because of Yu Chengyun's affairs, as the only young lady of Tianhong Sect, Wang Ruiqiu's status in the hearts of the Wang family father and son is self-evident.
If something really happens here, then putting aside everything else, those who came out with them will definitely not have a good outcome.
But if we just let him go, the sect leader has given a death order that we must take advantage of Yu Chengyun's reckless attempt to leave Jiuyun Hall to capture or eliminate him, and then take down Jiuyun Hall in one fell swoop.
This won't work, that won't work, it's a complete dilemma!
Thinking this way, everyone couldn't help but feel resentful towards Wang Ruiqiu.
Given Yu Chengyun's current situation of being abandoned by everyone, Tianhong Sect not only had a large number of people and was in a position of advantage, but also had the upper hand. It wouldn't have been too difficult for them to take down Yu Chengyun.
However, this young lady harbored resentment towards Yu Chengyun for repeatedly rejecting her.
They said that Yu Chengyun was too strong, and even if they could eventually capture him, it would cause their Tianhong Sect heavy losses. Rather than that, they should capture Pei Ling first and use him as a threat to force him to surrender, thus minimizing their losses.
As a result, they don't know whether Yu Chengyun was threatened or not, but they were definitely threatened!
If it weren't for the fact that Wang Ruiqiu's neck wound was real and the hatred and anger in her eyes couldn't be faked, they would have thought that this young lady still had feelings for Yu Chengyun and deliberately offered herself up as a hostage!
This is absolutely infuriating!
The tall man, who was the highest-ranking person present besides Wang Ruiqiu and was also the leader of this mission, pondered for a moment, exchanged glances with his deputies, and finally made a decision.
He put down the gun in his hand and stepped forward, saying, "What do you want in return for releasing our young lady?"
Pei Ling lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, then turned her gaze to look in Yu Chengyun's direction.
The man noticed, his heart tightened, and he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "He can't be let go!"
Yu Chengyun knew, of course, that the other party wouldn't let him leave... Of course, even if the other party were willing to let him go, he still wouldn't want to leave.
After a brief moment of contemplation, he nodded to Pei Ling and said, "You go first."
Pei Ling's heart stirred slightly. After staring at him for a moment, she finally nodded slowly: "Mm."
After saying that, he turned to look at the little girl behind Yu Chengyun and nodded with his chin: "Let her come with me."
No problem.
The man nodded in agreement immediately.
The little girl, Xia Zitong, glanced at Yu Chengyun, then at Pei Ling, and finally pursed her lips as she walked to Pei Ling's side.
Xia Zitong was only eleven or twelve years old, and she was already ill. Suddenly, she suffered so many misfortunes, and her face was very pale.
Pei Ling looked at her and softened her voice slightly, saying, "Don't be afraid, I'm your sister's friend."
Xia Zitong suddenly raised her eyes and subconsciously said, "You're Sister Qin Sheng?!"
Pei Ling was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and shook her head, saying, "I'm not."
The little girl's eyes dimmed instantly: "Oh."
“But Qin Sheng is my sister,” Pei Ling added.
The little girl looked up at her again, her eyes shining.
Well...
She was a sickly little girl who had lost her parents at a young age and lived with her older sister. Her life should have been quite bleak.
But the little girl's eyes were exceptionally bright, like they held the brilliance of a sky full of stars—optimistic, strong, and full of hope.
It's eye-catching.
Pei Ling looked at her, then glanced at Yu Chengyun.
Now I understand somewhat why Yu Chengyun saved the person.
That's what she was thinking, but Yu Chengyun felt a chill run down his spine from her gaze and instinctively wanted to explain.
But before he could speak, Pei Ling had already withdrawn her gaze, grabbed Wang Ruiqiu with both hands, and started to retreat with Xia Zitong.
With Wang Ruiqiu in their hands, the people of Tianhongmen naturally dared not do anything, and quietly watched them retreat towards the gate of the abandoned factory.
Until a gunshot rang out, shattering the fragile peace!
With a "bang," Pei Ling felt the woman's body in front of him tremble, and the weight on his hands suddenly increased.
Pei Ling's heart skipped a beat, and she almost immediately realized what was going on. Without hesitation, she let go of Wang Ruiqiu's shoulder, grabbed Xia Zitong, and rushed out.
But it was still a few steps too slow.
Gunshots rang out one after another, and Pei Ling could even hear the sound of wind rushing past behind her.
"careful!"
A gasp rang out from beside her. Xia Zitong pushed Pei Ling away with all her might, and she herself fell in the opposite direction due to the reaction force.
The two fell to the ground simultaneously, dodging a bullet that came from behind.
Although she escaped a calamity, Pei Ling dared not relax at all.
He quickly scrambled to his feet, grabbed Xia Zitong, and hid behind the nearest cover, while rapidly scanning the scene around him.
A larger group of men in black emerged from various parts of the abandoned factory, and in no time they had surrounded everyone, including Yu Chengyun and his men.
Everyone's expression changed.
The tall man leading the Tianhong Sect looked at his fallen subordinates and Wang Ruiqiu lying on the ground in the distance, and finally realized something. He suddenly looked up at Yu Chengyun: "You plotted against us?!"
