Ji You and the others didn't expect things to turn out this way so suddenly. Fu Yinru's expression changed drastically. "Let her go."
Sheng Mu's face turned ashen with anxiety, his nerves on edge, ready to rush to Fu Huoqing's rescue at any moment.
Seeing Fu Huoqing held captive by Yan Shuze, Sheng Qian's eyes turned sinister, a fierce glint appearing in them. She gritted her teeth and said coldly, "Yan Shuze, release her. Our business has nothing to do with her."
Are you sure it has nothing to do with her?
Yan Shuze flipped his hand, and a short knife appeared in his hand, pressed against Fu Huoqing's throat.
Fu Huoqing calmly looked for an opportunity to escape.
"Is Patriarch Yan getting angry out of embarrassment?"
Yan Shuze completely ignored Fu Huoqing and focused his gaze on Sheng Qian. "If you want her to live, do as I say."
Sheng Qian sneered, "You think I would ruin myself for an outsider? Yan Shuze, you overestimate my integrity. I won't sacrifice myself for an unrelated outsider."
"Qianqian, do you think I'll let her go just because you say that? Since she's a complete stranger, you won't feel bad if I get rid of her."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Shuze plunged a knife into Fu Huoqing's shoulder, and blood gushed out instantly.
"Huo Qing!"
"Xiao Qing!"
Several angry roars were uttered simultaneously.
Sheng Mu's face turned extremely ugly. "If it were me, wouldn't you just want a hostage? I would do the same thing."
Sheng Qian was suppressing herself.
Her body trembled slightly.
A large hand grasped hers, giving her strength.
Sheng Qian immediately calmed down.
"Yan Shuze, if you want to get what you want from me, don't waste your time on trivial matters."
Seeing that Fu Huoqing wanted to resist, Sheng Qian felt anxious.
Having been struck, Fu Huoqing would undoubtedly retaliate immediately. If Yan Shuze were to strike a vital spot, she couldn't guarantee she could save her mother.
Long Yunting wanted to make a move, but he was too conspicuous. Yan Shuze was watching him closely, and he would be discovered if he took even one step forward.
Yan Shuze knew how terrifying this person's strength was the moment he made a move.
You must not provoke the other party.
Long Yunting knew how important the Fu and Sheng families were to Sheng Qian.
We cannot let Yan Shuze succeed.
Taking advantage of Yan Shuze's gaze falling on Sheng Qian, Fu Huoqing instantly turned around and reached for the knife.
Yan Shuze reacted even faster than her, drawing his knife and slashing her palm.
At the same time, a knife was plunged into her heart.
"Yan Che!"
Sheng Qian roared angrily with her red eyes.
Yan Shuze's hand trembled slightly and veered off course.
It was at this moment that Long Yunting and Sheng Qian moved at the same time.
Fu Huoqing was caught by Sheng Mu who rushed up to her.
Instead, Long Yunting and Yan Shuze started fighting, and Sheng Qian, who was about to make a move, turned back to check on Fu Huoqing's injuries.
"It really hurts," Fu Huoqing took a deep breath and gave a bitter laugh.
"She'll be alright," Sheng Qian quickly took out some medicine from her person and gave it to her. "Take her away right away, hurry up, don't stay here."
Sheng Qian's voice was urgent.
“Our Ye family will stay. You all escort her away first; her injuries cannot be delayed,” Old Master Ye said in a deep voice.
"Elder Ye, you should leave too. We are enough here." These people are her weaknesses and cannot stay here.
"That won't do."
"Mr. Ye, I know you mean well, but we really don't need it."
Old Master Ye understood immediately. "Then be careful."
He had seen clearly what had just happened; they were of no help at all, and lingering there would only become a burden to Sheng Qian.
It would be better to leave and let Sheng Qian and Long Yunting make their mark.
The three groups of people quickly left with the injured Fu Huoqing. Watching them leave, Sheng Qian turned around, her bloodshot eyes filled with intense anger.
Without saying a word, he rushed forward and joined them.
With Sheng Qian's addition, even Yan Shuze, no matter how powerful he was, was suppressed.
Both sides got moving.
During the exchange, Yan Shuze was repeatedly struck hard by Long Yunting, yet he was unable to gain any advantage over Long Yunting.
Upon seeing this, Yan Shuze took a few steps back.
Their men, with perfect coordination, grabbed their weapons and attacked.
The metal object struck the obstacle, making a "bang" sound.
Long Yunting led Sheng Qian backward, avoiding the attacks.
The two sides went from hand-to-hand combat to using hot gear, and the distance between them widened further and further.
Yan Shuze stood at a distance, wiping his bruised cheeks, his eyes filled with an even more intense malevolence.
Long Yunting is blocking our way, so he'll be the first one we get rid of!
Yan Shuze knew he couldn't kill Long Yunting today, so he turned around and left.
Watching them retreat, Sheng Qian didn't let Long Yunting's men chase after them, stopping them instead: "We don't need to chase after them; there will be many more opportunities like this in the future."
Long Yunting looked at her and asked, "Are you alright?"
Sheng Qian shook her head and leaned against his arm.
"Our lives are not going to be peaceful from now on."
Long Yunting gently stroked her hair, "I will stay by your side."
