Finally, the two women couldn’t stand Ye Luo’s burning gaze anymore and stopped their yoga morning exercise. Only after they changed back into regular clothes did Ye Luo reluctantly withdraw his eyes.

"Sister Yan, how is your nightclub doing now?"

Ye Luo’s eyes shifted to Yan Ling as he spoke.

"It has returned to normal. Ever since you took care of Guang Liang, no one has come to cause trouble at the bar. However, the underground powers in the Eastern District seem to have become chaotic again, all vying for the title of top dog."

Yan Ling said indifferently.

"We don’t need to bother with these things, as long as they don’t provoke us. Otherwise, Guang Liang’s fate will be theirs."

A cruel smile formed at the corner of Ye Luo’s mouth as he spoke.

Just then, Ye Luo’s expression changed, and he sniffed subtly. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Scent on the Wind!"

At that moment, Ye Luo smelled a special fragrance, one that most people would find difficult to detect, but he recognized it immediately: it was the Scent on the Wind he had given to Liu Xiner to release in crucial moments, so that he could detect it anywhere in Zhonghai.

"What’s happened to that girl? Didn’t I give her medicine for three months? Could it be that she’s having health issues again?"

Ye Luo frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up and said, "Sister Yan, I’ve got something urgent to attend to. I need to step out for a bit. Oh, and I’ll need to borrow your sports car."

After grabbing the keys to Yan Ling’s sports car, Ye Luo left the villa. The red sports car soon sped away, charging out of the residential area towards a certain part of Zhonghai.

Meanwhile, on a street in Zhonghai, a car chase was underway. A Mercedes was being relentlessly pursued by three black vans.

In the back seat of the Mercedes sat Liu Xiner, with a pale face, her fists clenched tightly, and her eyes filled with deep concern. In the front were two men in suits, one driving, the other with a stern expression.

"Miss, don’t worry. We will protect you. Moreover, I’ve already contacted the Family Head, and he has sent people here."

The man in the suit in the passenger seat turned his head to speak to Liu Xiner in a solemn voice.

"Mm."

Liu Xiner hummed softly, her eyes flickering with worry. She hadn’t expected that just going to school would lead to a kidnapping.

"Will you show up?"

Liu Xiner thought to herself. The person she was referring to was none other than Ye Luo. For some reason, ever since the incident on the train, she had a special confidence in Ye Luo and found herself thinking about him from time to time. Now that she was in danger, she didn’t know why, but she thought of the Scent on the Wind Ye Luo had given her and immediately released it.

Bang bang bang!

Just then, the three black vans suddenly accelerated and rammed harshly into the Mercedes, forcing it to stop.

The entire Mercedes swayed under the impact of the three vehicles, with Liu Xiner in the back continuously being jostled. The driver struggled to stabilize the steering wheel while slamming on the gas pedal, speeding forward until they reached a remote area of Zhonghai City.

Boom!

Then, one of the vans behind them accelerated again and slammed hard into the side of the Mercedes, the powerful impact sending it veering to one side. The driver wrestled with the steering wheel and hit the brakes hard to bring the car to a stop, or else the entire car would have flipped over.

Soon, the three black vans cornered the Mercedes, and a throng of men in black poured out.

"Miss, run!"

The two men from the Mercedes quickly got out of the car, brought Liu Xiner out, and looked around.

"Miss, you’d better get out of here; we’ll hold them off,"

the two suited men said to Liu Xiner in a deep voice.

"Can you... can you really?"

Liu Xiner looked at the dozen or so men in black, her eyes filled with intense fear.

"Don’t worry, we don’t even take these few people seriously,"

the two suited men snorted coldly, their fists clenched, exuding a powerful aura.

"Charge!"

Instantly, the dozen men let out a fierce cry, each brandishing a baton, and charged toward the two men.

"Hah!"

At that moment, the two suited men shouted and struck, both being ex-special forces with formidable combat skills, already in the early stages of the Acquired Realm, striking fiercely and rapidly.

However, the dozen or so attackers were not weak, and with weapons in their hands working together in attack, all seeming experienced in combat, they were momentarily at a stalemate.

After one minute, the two protectors had laid several men in black on the ground, but they themselves had taken several hits from the batons. Meanwhile, another two men in black charged towards Liu Xiner.

Ah!

Liu Xiner couldn’t help but scream sharply, quickly turning and running towards a forest behind her.

"Stop right there!"

The two men in suits yelled, breaking free from the others’ attack, and rushed at the two men in black, throwing punches that sent the attackers flying backward, spitting blood as they hit the ground.

Bang, bang, bang!

The remaining men in black struck with their batons, knocking the two protectors to their knees, coughing up blood, but still managing to send several of the attackers flying.

At this point, less than four or five of the dozen men in black were still standing.

"I want to see how tough you two really are!"

The previously speaking man in black’s eyes flashed coldly, drawing a sharp knife from the car, leaping forward, and swinging it at them, unleashing a terrifying force. His strength had reached the middle stage of the Acquired Realm, a whole realm higher than that of the two men.

Bang!

Facing the full-force attack of the man in black, the two injured suited men stood no chance and were sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground.

"Die, all of you!" The man in black’s eyes gleamed with a vicious light as he darted forward, his knife drawing two arcs through the air, and swiftly ended the lives of the two Liu Family bodyguards.

"After her!" The remaining men in black all pursued Liu Xiner.

At this moment, Liu Xiner kept running, her face deathly pale, her heart filled with extreme terror. Suddenly, she found herself at the top of a steep slope, overlooking a pool some meters below, which made her involuntarily step back in fright.

"Why aren’t you running anymore?"
