"Get away from me, don't touch me, don't touch me, let my mom go..." Murong Lian cried, collapsing to the ground. Her emotions were unstable, as if she recalled something terrifying, and she covered her head, shaking it desperately.
Seeing this, Su Xiuwen rushed forward, pushing one of the black-clad men aside. She wanted to embrace Murong Lian but was suddenly knocked to the ground. Murong Lian trembled all over, shaking her head and saying, "Don't touch me, you bad people, don't touch me..."
"Lian Lian, it's me! I'm Xiuwen!" Su Xiuwen carefully approached again and said, "Don't be afraid; nothing will happen. Don't worry, I'm here..."
This seemed to have an effect as Murong Lian slowly glanced at Su Xiuwen. Tears continued to flow down her face as she sobbed, "Wenwen, I'm so scared. I'm afraid..."
"It's okay; I'm here, and he is too..." Su Xiuwen moved closer to Murong Lian and hugged her tightly, whispering in her ear, "Mo Ming is protecting you from the shadows; nothing will happen. Don't worry."
"Mo Ming..." When Murong Lian heard Mo Ming's name, she visibly calmed down a bit. A glimmer of joy appeared in her eyes as she said, "Yes, with him around, nothing will happen. Nothing will happen."
"What are you useless fools waiting for? Hurry up and bring Miss Murong over!" The captain kicked one of the black-clad men in the rear and said, "We don't have much time; finish up and leave."
One of the black-clad men who had dragged Yang Yuan out earlier quickly walked over and whispered a few words in the captain's ear.
The captain immediately stopped those who were about to act and said, "Wait! Don't touch Miss Murong anymore. Since she's feeling unwell, let's forget about that money. Time is running out. Third Brother, take some people to see why they haven't returned yet; we can't afford any real trouble."
The black-clad man who had just whispered to the captain was Third Brother. He nodded and was about to leave when a voice stopped him.
"Yang Yuan!"
Fu Meng had suspected that Third Brother was Yang Yuan ever since he pleaded for Murong Lian earlier. To confirm his suspicion, she tried calling out his name. Third Brother's reaction confirmed Fu Meng's belief that he was indeed Yang Yuan.
Everything that had happened tonight was orchestrated by Yang Yuan!
"Mayor Fu sure knows how to scare people. Where is Yang Yuan? He was already dead earlier; could it be that he's met a ghost?" The captain tried to dispel Fu Meng's doubts while Third Brother remained silent; he probably didn't know what to say at that moment.
"No need to keep pretending anymore, Yang Yuan. You're the mastermind behind this whole affair!" Fu Meng said confidently with a smile. "If it weren't for your plea for Murong Lian, I might not have connected this to you because you're just too good at acting."
Knowing he could no longer hide it, the black-clad man Third Brother burst into laughter and said, "As expected of Mayor Fu; your ability to read people is quite impressive! However, knowing this changes nothing; tonight's haul won't just be a little money—it's your entire fortune!"
"I guessed it. Since you all are planning to do this, it surely won't just be a small transaction. There are Trojans in your notebooks, and once we enter our passwords, everything will be recorded by you. It's all just a smokescreen to prevent us from taking you down with us and not giving you a single cent."
Fu Meng's words immediately sent the wealthy individuals present into a panic. That was the result of their hard work, and if it were stolen away like this, it would truly cost them their lives.
Some of the wealthier individuals with weaker mental fortitude fainted from anger.
"Yang Yuan, you are truly a despicable person. I can't believe you would even harm Lian Lian!"
Su Xiuwen felt even more disgusted by Yang Yuan, realizing that the gentlemanly young master was actually one of the robbers tonight. Just thinking about it was shameful.
Upon hearing that Yang Yuan was part of the group in black, Murong Lian's expression became dull. She slowly looked at Yang Yuan with hollow eyes, unable to say a word. At that moment, all she felt was fear—fear of Yang Yuan.
It was like suddenly realizing that someone who liked you was actually a bloodthirsty beast, hiding behind a facade while lurking around you every day, not knowing when its evil side would be revealed. Murong Lian felt exactly this way now.
"No, Lian'er, I don't want to hurt you. You have to believe me." Yang Yuan hurriedly explained, "I really love you; I never thought of harming you..."
"Yang Yuan, shut up!" Upon hearing Yang Yuan say this, Su Xiuwen felt disgusted and sneered, "Love? Do you even know what true love is? You understand nothing at all. Do you realize how ridiculous you are right now? You're just a complete scoundrel!"
"Shut your mouth!"
Yang Yuan roared at Su Xiuwen and then tried to approach Murong Lian. However, Murong Lian was so frightened that she quickly hid in Su Xiuwen's embrace. He felt a pang in his heart and said, "Lian'er, from the first moment I saw you, I liked you. Why can't you ever appreciate that?"
"Yang Yuan, you're just a despicable hypocrite who doesn't deserve anyone's love," Fu Meng mocked. "A young master of a big company has actually fallen to being a robber; what a tragedy."
"Hmph, Mayor Fu, the ones who should feel tragic are you all. Years of hard work can be so easily stolen away; how pitiful!" Yang Yuan laughed a few times and said, "You all didn't need to die at all. But now that you've discovered my identity, then you all must die!"
"I knew you wouldn't let us go so easily. From the moment this started, I never thought I could walk out alive," Fu Meng said without any change in expression. "The so-called Branch is just an illusion; you're only planning to do one big deal and then retreat."
"Mayor Fu is indeed Mayor Fu; your mind is exceptionally sharp."
The captain chuckled ominously a few times and clapped, saying, "You're right; we need to pull off a big deal so we can retire. Unfortunately, Mayor Fu knows too much. Keeping you alive means we can't ensure our safety."
"Even if I die, your safety won't be guaranteed because you won't be able to leave here tonight. How laughable," Fu Meng laughed maniacally. "You wasted so much effort planning but overlooked the most terrifying figure. That's your tragedy. I wonder if your brothers are already down below."
Fu Meng's words struck at the captain's worries. He was anxious about Fourth Brother and Old Six not returning and feared something had happened to them, but he had no way of knowing. This anxiety made the captain somewhat irritable.
"If my brothers are down below, then I must take Mayor Fu with me!" The captain snorted coldly and then said to Yang Yuan, "Third Brother, take some men to check the situation. No matter what, safety comes first. If you can't find them in twenty minutes, it means they're dead. Come back quickly; we need to leave immediately."
"Understood, big brother," Yang Yuan replied and glanced at Murong Lian before saying to the captain, "Big brother, promise me one thing: don't hurt her. I don't want anything to happen to her."
"Don't worry. When we leave, we'll take her with us. Big brother will arrange everything for you," the captain nodded.
With the captain's reassurance, Yang Yuan felt relieved and led a team of black-clad men to search for Fourth Brother and the others. Just as he stepped forward with his right foot, a black-clad man rushed back in a panic.
"Not good! We've fallen into an ambush; Fourth Brother and Sixth Brother are dead."
Yang Yuan furiously grabbed the collar of the black-clad man and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could Fourth Brother and Old Six die so easily? Tell me what happened!"
The black-clad man trembled in fear and said, "The enemy is too strong; we were no match for him. I barely escaped from inside. You need to act quickly; I think they're coming to kill us now."
"Hmph, it's Mo Ming again! Why is he always opposing me?" Yang Yuan snorted coldly and released the man's collar. "How many of them are there? What weapons do they have? Fourth Brother and Sixth Brother are both skilled fighters, plus Second Brother went to find them; they should be fine."
The captain approached with a furrowed brow. "What about Old Two? Is he injured? Why haven't we received any news?"
"Do we even need to ask? He's definitely dead; you'll be next," Fu Meng sneered. "Tonight, you won't take a single cent away; instead, you'll all die here."
As soon as Fu Meng's words fell, gunfire erupted around them—some shots were synchronized as those holding guns had blood splattering from their chests and heads in a violent and bloody scene.
"Ah..."
Murong Lian was so frightened that he closed his eyes, not daring to look again, while the other wealthy individuals began to panic, wanting to escape. However, they were hindered by the presence of the black-clad figures around them, so they did not dare to act rashly, feeling both fear and anxiety inside.
"Damn it, this situation is indeed quite tricky."
A cold glint flashed in the captain's eyes as he intended to capture Fu Meng as a hostage to negotiate for an escape. Unfortunately, the black-clad messenger swiftly darted over and punched the captain back.
"Who the hell are you!" The captain, caught off guard, took a punch from the opponent that felt as hard as a hammer on his arm. At that moment, his arm went numb, making it difficult for him to move. All the black-clad figures wielding machetes surged forward.
They all aimed to tear that black-clad figure to shreds.
"Guess who I am... Oh right, no need to guess. I'll be merciful and tell you, I am Shang Xige. Remember that, and hurry up to report to Yama."
The black-clad figure tore off his mask, revealing his true identity. This black-clad individual was none other than Shang Xige, who had separated from Mo Ming. No one expected him to have replaced the messenger and infiltrated their ranks.
This was exactly what Mo Ming intended—a coordinated effort from within and outside. In hindsight, it was quite prescient; arrangements had been made early on. Otherwise, if the enemy had captured Fu Meng or others as hostages, it would have been difficult to handle.
Upon seeing him arrive, Su Xiuwen felt a surge of joy and said, "You finally decided to show up, Xige! Teach that bastard Yang Yuan a good lesson for me!"
"That bastard will naturally be dealt with; you don't need to worry," Shang Xige replied lightly, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. With a swift movement, he engaged in combat among the crowd of black-clad figures. The captain had initially planned to take a shot from the side but found that the black-clad figures had surrounded Shang Xige completely, making it impossible for him to aim.
