Just then, the rolling shutter door on the third floor rattled open, and Jin Yuhua's face lit up with joy. It seemed that his reinforcements had arrived. Although he was currently being held at gunpoint, as long as his people rushed in and subdued Shu Rui and the others, he would have room to negotiate. It was much better than being completely at their mercy. However, when Jin Yuhua saw the situation clearly, this last glimmer of hope was ruthlessly extinguished.
As the shutter door opened, a group of men in black rushed in. The first to enter was Jin Yuhua's cousin, Jin Ke, but he was not leading the charge; instead, he was being escorted in with his arms pinned behind his back. The men in black surveyed the scene, and one of them walked towards Xin Yi and Qin Dali. Approaching them, he straightened his legs, tightened his abdomen, puffed out his chest, and raised his right hand in a standard military salute, saying, "Brother Xin, Company Commander! Beng Hu Lian has completed the mission! Reporting for duty!"
Seeing this scene, Jin Yuhua was dumbfounded. How had he managed to provoke the military? He had never heard that Junxing Group had any military background. Wait a minute, this person wasn't reporting to Shu Rui but to these two young men in front of him. Could it be that both of them were military personnel? Upon closer inspection, they did have a certain military demeanor about them. Damn it, it seemed he had really kicked a metal plate this time; at most, he had been raising a bunch of idle social misfits to act as gangsters—untrained gangsters at that. If he hadn't spent a fortune on a few guns to arm himself, even street thugs wouldn't fear him. But what were these people? The military! Those guys could easily pull out boxes of AK-47s and grenades. Playing with them would be like committing suicide! Forget it; if he was going down this time, so be it—no shame in that!
With this thought in mind, Jin Yuhua quickly put on a bright smile and said ingratiatingly, "Big Brother... oh no... Chief, I've decided that my Jinhua Group will withdraw from this bidding!"
"Oh?" Xin Yi glanced at Jin Yuhua and said lightly, "Aren't you afraid that Old Xu will take your life for this?"
"Of course I'm afraid! So I ask you, Big Brother... Chief... to help me speak a good word. I believe with your intervention, Old Xu won't make things difficult for me, right, Chief?"
"Alright, I'll definitely say a few good words for you. Just tell him I forced you," Xin Yi thought for a moment and said. "Now let's go see Old Xu; please help introduce us, Jin Zong."
"Sure! Let's go right now!" Jin Yuhua hurriedly replied.
"Not so fast. Don't you need to call Old Xu first to make an appointment? Isn't it a bit abrupt for us to just show up like this?" Xin Yi smiled.
"Right! Right! Let me call him first and let Old Xu know that the two Chiefs are coming to visit." Jin Yuhua said as he took out his phone from his pocket.
"I think it's better if you don't mention that we're coming. Just say you've already controlled all the Junxing Group people. Didn't Old Xu ask you to bring President Shu over? Just say you're going to deliver him to Old Xu," Xin Yi suggested.
"Isn't that deceiving Old Xu?" Jin Yuhua hesitated.
"How can this be called a scam? President Shu will definitely go with you, just say what I told you," Xin Yi said as he turned his gaze to Shu Rui, only to find her looking at him with fiery eyes. Xin Yi smiled at her, making a reassuring expression.
Shu Rui knew that Xin Yi would not really send her into danger, but even so, she could not accept it. Her eyes could not tolerate any sand; even if it was acting, she only wanted to perform with Xin Yi. The thought of that half-human, half-demon old man made her feel disgusted. She had only regarded him as an elder before, but who would have thought that the old lecher actually had inappropriate thoughts about her? Just thinking about it made Shu Rui feel goosebumps all over.
Seeing Shu Rui's expression, Xin Yi understood what she was thinking. He walked in front of her and whispered in her ear, "That old man's villa has snipers hidden. It's hard to get in without this method. Don't worry, I will go with you. If that old man doesn't give us a heads-up, we won't succeed in this bidding."
Shu Rui glared at Xin Yi resentfully and replied after some thought, "Fine, I'll listen to you this time. But that old man is too hateful; you have to teach him a lesson later!"
"Don't worry, isn't this just to vent your anger? Later, I'll hand him over to you; you can punish him however you want," Xin Yi laughed.
"I don't want to! I'm afraid of getting my hands dirty; you should do it instead. You hit harder than I do," Shu Rui said slyly.
Who says gentle and demure women can't be fierce? At this moment, Shu Rui's expression would probably make even some men feel ashamed. So, it's best not to provoke women.
...
Half an hour later, several cars drove into the heavily guarded villa of Old Xu. Since someone had given a heads-up beforehand, the two elderly guards at the gate merely glanced at them before letting everyone in. After stopping the car, Jin Yuhua led the way while several Black-Clad Men escorted Shu Rui and the others into the hall. Among those being escorted was the already beaten and unrecognizable Huang Dafa. He couldn't walk on his own anymore; two Black-Clad Men were dragging him by his arms. If one didn't know beforehand that he was Huang Dafa, even his own mother wouldn't recognize him now. This further added to the authenticity of their group; just look at how badly he was beaten! Even several guards couldn't bear to watch; this Jin Yuhua was truly ruthless.
Old Xu was not in the hall. Xu Butler asked everyone to wait for a moment; the master was upstairs dealing with something and would come down once he was done. After about twenty minutes, footsteps were heard coming down the stairs. Two disheveled and flushed young girls rushed down from upstairs. Upon seeing everyone in the hall, they panicked and quickly ran out through a side door. Seeing this scene, Shu Rui cursed under her breath, "Old beast!"
A few minutes later, Old Xu slowly walked down the stairs with a satisfied smile on his face and sat down in the central armchair. He glanced at the group being held captive and hesitated noticeably when he saw Xin Yi. Did that third-generation disciple of Xin Shengtian, the Old Immortal, not enter the business? No, yesterday he didn't seem like someone who hadn't experienced anything; could his judgment be wrong? However, since he was also among those being held captive now and there were several armed guards in the hall, he believed nothing too troublesome would happen.
This Jin Yuhua really is something; didn't I tell him to just bring that girl over? Why did he bring everyone? He really doesn't know how to handle things and wants to deal with these people in his own place. Although killing a few people in Zhongjiang is as easy for him as stepping on a few caterpillars, it still brings bad luck, right? Thus, Old Xu felt somewhat displeased and asked Jin Yuhua, "What's going on? Didn't I tell you to just bring that girl over?"
"Well... Old Xu, actually..." Before Jin Yuhua could finish speaking, a flash of white light appeared in Xin Yi's hand, and immediately several armed guards in the crowd screamed, clutching their wrists as their guns clattered to the floor. At the same time, the Black-Clad Man escorting the group split into several directions and pounced on the guards, pinning them firmly to the ground. Big Bull was still responsible for collecting the guns, grinning foolishly as he picked up the weapons from the floor and said, "We've got a few more now; there's no room left. Brother Xin, what should we do?"
However, Xin Yi did not respond to him. After throwing his flying knife, he did not pause for a moment and darted towards Old Xu, who was sitting in the armchair. The ancient truth of "to catch a thief, first catch the king" was clear; Xin Yi had to capture this thief king first. Just as Xin Yi was only three steps away from Old Xu, a shadow suddenly lunged out from the side—it was Xu Butler making his move.
Xu Butler was indeed a hidden master. As he charged in from an angle, he aimed a palm strike directly at Xin Yi's chest. When that palm came at him, Xin Yi felt as if a whirlwind had suddenly swept up in front of him, making it hard for him to breathe. He recognized this as the powerful Crimson Sun Palm and realized that Xu Butler had clearly cultivated it to a very high level. Even a thick slab of stone would likely be shattered by his strike. Xin Yi dared not take it head-on; instead, at the critical moment when the palm wind was about to hit his chest, he slid past Xu Butler's attack just in time, thinking to himself how dangerous it was—he had underestimated his opponent's strength and did not expect such a formidable master to be present. It seemed that winning today would not be easy.
Just after slipping past Xu Butler's palm strike and before he could steady himself, Xu Butler swiftly turned around and attacked again with another palm strike. The two immediately engaged in combat. Xu Butler's palm winds were fierce and heavy; Xin Yi dared not confront him directly and could only rely on his agility and speed to evade. He found himself unable to counterattack at all. What should he do? The longer this dragged on, the more unfavorable it became for him. The snipers inside the villa had yet to be dealt with, and his brothers outside could not rush in. Would he really fall here today? While he had no problem protecting himself, there were still Shu Rui and several unarmed women along with two weak Glasses Men present—what could he do?
The best course of action now was to resolve this quickly—he needed to deal with Xu Butler swiftly and then control Old Xu so that he could free himself to handle the snipers inside the villa. Only then could his brothers come in; this was the only way to gain an absolute advantage and make Old Xu obedient.
With this thought in mind, Xin Yi felt a surge of killing intent. The fastest way to end this fight was to unleash his killing technique. Although Xu Butler's Crimson Sun Palm was extraordinary, Xin Yi was confident that he could deliver a fatal blow. His killing technique did not rely on flashy moves or overwhelming strength; it emphasized speed. As long as his speed reached a certain level, even the most powerful Kung Fu could be broken through in one strike—this was the fundamental reason why he had never failed in ten years. However, speed depended on explosive power from coordinated body movements. Although Xin Yi had trained in this area since childhood, such explosive power could not be sustained for long—like lightning: immensely powerful but fleeting. Therefore, it required absolute certainty before using such speed to ensure that he could take down his opponent.
In this situation, killing was something Xin Yi did not want to do; however, there was no other choice. If he didn't act decisively now, everyone might end up trapped here today. While entangled with Xu Butler, Xin Yi stealthily reached for his waist where a thin blade lay hidden—one that had claimed many lives without fail—and now its target would not escape either. His hand grasped the handle of the thin blade.
At that moment, a voice rang out: "Hehehe, Crimson Sun Palm—interesting! Let me experience it!"
