Due to the height disparity, An Ning could only slightly tilt her head up to maintain eye contact with Li Mengjun.

However, in terms of aura, she was not lacking at all.

Looking at An Ning, Li Mengjun merely snorted coldly, "What a sharp-tongued little girl, I want to see if you can still talk like this when we go out later?"

With that, Li Mengjun turned and looked at the masked man behind him, saying, "Take them outside."

The commanding tone made the face beneath the masked man’s mask twitch, clearly displeased.

Yet this time, he did not refute Li Mengjun’s words, instead, he approached An Ning and the others.

"Who are you people? What grudges do we have? You brought us here without saying anything, and now where are you taking us?" An Ning and An Yu knew Li Mengjun, but Yan Shi did not.

Watching the masked man approaching step by step, Yan Shi felt nothing but panic in her heart.

The masked man remained silent, continuing to walk towards Yan Shi.

Li Mengjun, standing there, watched this scene with a cold smile on her lips.

She might have already forgotten that just moments ago, the one who was scared out of their wits was her.

Yan Shi wasn’t the only one frightened; An Yu, who had been lying on the ground, crawled toward An Ning, a look of struggle on his face. "What do you want? Come at me if you must. What kind of hero goes after women?"

When he was captured, he had already been tortured before being thrown down here, so he knew what was to be faced when taken upstairs.

Moreover, there are countless ways to humiliate a woman.

At this point, they were unaware that An Bingfeng had already stormed in with his men and victory was in sight.

They weren’t being taken out to be humiliated but as hostages.

Of course, this was merely Li Mengjun’s assumption. As for what the masked man thought, perhaps no one knew.

Among the three, the only one relatively calm was An Ning.

Because she was the only one with a bargaining chip to save her life.

But facing the current situation, she had to reveal her trump card to save her life.

She was weighing the pros and cons of the situation in her mind.

However, no one was giving her any time.

An Yu, already severely injured, could do nothing to stop it.

When the masked man’s hand reached for An Ning, her eyes flickered, but her body did not move.

From the moment the masked man grabbed An Ning, his body suddenly disappeared into thin air.

An Yu’s crawling motion froze on the ground, and Yan Shi screamed in fright, while even Li Mengjun widened her eyes incredulously, looking around in panic, trying to find the hiding spot of the disappearing person.

Such a person disappearing into thin air would be unbelievable to anyone who saw it.

Only An Ning remained calm and composed.

Li Mengjun was never a particularly bold person, and this fantastical event filled her with even more fear.

Without a second thought, she employed Qinggong, intending to escape upward, not caring about using An Ning and the others as hostages.

An Ning’s lips curled into a cold smile, and a small sleeve arrow materialized in her hand. She lightly pressed with her finger, and a silver needle glinting coldly shot out towards Li Mengjun.
