"Hello, resident, I am the security guard from your community. There seems to be a problem with the main switchboard downstairs, and I would like to check it out to see if there's a short circuit in your home," the security guard outside said with a smile.
A problem with the circuit?
Upon hearing this, Zhuo Yue's heart immediately filled with doubts. There shouldn't be any issues with the wiring at home, right? She looked closely with suspicion and indeed saw the person outside was wearing the community security uniform!
As she hesitated whether to open the door, she heard the sound of a chair falling behind her.
Zhuo Yue turned around and found Xie Lina, who had calmed down before, now standing up, her body slightly trembling as she moved backward, without even noticing that she had tripped over the chair.
"What's wrong?" A question flashed through Zhuo Yue's mind, sensing something was amiss.
"They... they are not security guards..."
Xie Lina's expression was tense, and she spoke with a tremble, looking at Zhuo Yue in horror.
Meanwhile, at the door, a "rustling" sound could now be heard from the keyhole. Clearly, the people outside knew they were alerted and were trying to pry the door open.
Not good!
Seeing this, Zhuo Yue inwardly cursed, regretting her lack of alertness for not realizing they were criminals in disguise, intending to trick her into opening the door!
Luckily, she hadn't opened the door just then; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
It was unclear whether Zhuo Yue's security door was too sturdy, or if the people outside weren't professional lockpickers, as they failed to pry it open despite their efforts.
What to do?
Seeing the situation grow dire, Zhuo Yue felt cold sweat forming on her forehead. Just as she was about to call Ling Zhenfei on her mobile phone, she heard Xie Lina point at the windowsill and cry out.
It turned out that the corridor window was right next to Zhuo Yue's kitchen window. The person outside, unable to pry open the door, was attempting to climb in through the window.
Zhuo Yue almost panicked, but having some undercover experience, she managed to keep her composure in the face of danger. She quickly grabbed a mop next to her and swung it at the head of the person about to jump down from the window.
"You little brat, I'm going to kill you!"
The intruder was evidently much quicker than Zhuo Yue, snatching the mop from her hands and cursing as he jumped in.
Ah!
Zhuo Yue screamed in shock. Just then, she saw that the security door had also been breached, and immediately pulled Xie Lina to run into the room.
However, the several intruders who rushed in were all martial artists with faster reactions than hers, quickly blocking their escape route.
"You... you don't come any closer! I'm going to call the police!"
Seeing these fierce-looking intruders storm in, Zhuo Yue and Xie Lina looked utterly terrified. They would never have imagined these criminals would find them so quickly!
"Call the police? Heh heh, even if the police come, it will be too late!"
Chen Xuanliang let out a cold snort beneath his nose and made a signal to his subordinates. Immediately, two big men rushed forward, snatched Zhuo Yue's mobile phone, and subdued the two women.
"Let go of us! Let go now!"
Zhuo Yue and Xie Lina tried desperately to struggle, but they couldn't break free. Zhuo Yue could only shout, "Ling Zhenfei will be here any minute, and he won't let you get away with this!"
"Heh heh, stinky girl, stop trying to scare us. We only came in after seeing that guy leave."
Chen Xuanliang's face flashed a strange smile as he waved to his subordinates, "Take them away!"
Under the cover of the night, a few men escorted the two women downstairs. Chen Xuanliang spoke to Chen Wusi while they walked, "Second Uncle, your plan is indeed brilliant. We captured Xie Lina quietly and even got an extra one."
After speaking, Chen Xuanliang greedily glanced at Zhuo Yue and chuckled sinisterly, "I must say, this woman is quite tender. Now, we've really made a profit."
"This is the Young Master's strategy, he had already made the decision!"
Chen Wusi scoffed and, seeing Chen Xuanliang's lecherous gaze on the women, he suddenly yelled, "Rein it in, boy. We must not touch these two women!"
"Hmm, I got it, Second Uncle." Upon hearing this, Chen Xuanliang reluctantly averted his gaze.
As the group exited the residential area and approached the car, Chen Xuanliang was about to open the car door when he suddenly found someone sitting inside, who even smiled and greeted him, "Hehe, you guys have worked hard! But, this car can only fit five people. Bringing back two more, wouldn't it be too cramped?"
"Ah..." Upon closer inspection of the person inside the car, Chen Xuanliang was so terrified that his soul nearly left his body, and he stumbled several steps backward.
"It... it's you!"
Under the moonlight, seeing the person sitting in the car, Chen Wusi's complexion also drastically changed, "You... you were supposed to have left already?"
"Hehe, I did leave just now, but that doesn't mean I can't come back!"
The man sneered as he stepped out of the car, and when Zhuo Yue and Xie Lina saw him, they both exclaimed in shock.
Indeed, this man was none other than Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei possessed the ability of X-ray vision. Although the uncle and nephew from the Chen family were hiding in the car, they simply couldn't escape his sight.
However, Ling Zhenfei was aware of their intentions and did not startle the snake but pretended to leave in the car, waited for them to make a move, then broke into the car and sat inside.
At this point, finding Ling Zhenfei had been waiting here all along, the uncle and nephew from the Chen family were hugely surprised. In his panic, Chen Xuanliang waved his hand to his subordinates, signaling them to attack Ling Zhenfei.
The subordinates had previously participated in attacking Ling Zhenfei. Although they were intimidated by Ling Zhenfei, they dared not defy Chen Xuanliang's orders and had to set down the two women and reluctantly came forward to attack Ling Zhenfei.
"Mantis Arm Blocking Car!"
Ling Zhenfei could hardly take these thugs seriously. He sneered and flashed forward like a streak of lightning, delivering a punch to each of the three thugs and knocking them all to the ground.
"You…" Although Chen Xuanliang had heard that Ling Zhenfei was tough to deal with, the shock he felt when Ling Zhenfei disabled his subordinates with a mere gesture was unimaginable.
"Fall back!" While Chen Xuanliang, thinking his cultivation was higher than his subordinates, was about to confront Ling Zhenfei, he was shouted down by Chen Wusi.
"Kid, this has nothing to do with you. Please don't meddle in other people's business!"
Chen Wusi's face was iron blue, his eyes spitting fire as he glared at Ling Zhenfei.
"Hehe, it indeed had nothing to do with me. However, now that I've intervened, it does concern me a bit!"
Ling Zhenfei coldly swept a glance over the uncle and nephew of the Chen clan and waved to Zhuo Yue and Xie Lina, signaling them to stand behind him.
"You…" After locking eyes with Ling Zhenfei's piercing gaze, Chen Wusi felt a tremor in his heart and had to say sternly, "Kid, what would it take for you to leave this matter alone? Feel free to name your conditions!"
"Conditions? Hehe, the conditions I'd set would scare you to death! I want all of you to lose your lives here today. Would you agree to that?"
