The masked woman had been searching for Ye Tianyu all night in the mountains, dealing with both the Tang Sect and the police, but still there was no trace of Ye Tianyu. This was making her lose her patience.

Moreover, she had just fought fiercely against three members of the Tang Sect, and though she faced many with few, she was defeated and had to escape. This already upset her, and then she ran into Loli blocking her way, which stirred her intent to kill.

At this moment, Lin Fan appeared. She didn't recognize Lin Fan, only found him familiar as if she had seen him somewhere but didn't think much of it. Unexpectedly, Ye Tianyu also appeared, right in Lin Fan's hands.

This was what it meant when they said, search the world with no result, yet gain what you're looking for without effort.

So she immediately proposed an exchange. She didn't care about Loli's life, it meant nothing to her, but she was determined to get Ye Tianyu.

Lin Fan said, "We can trade, but you must release her first."

Seeing his woman's life under threat, a surge of anger rose in Lin Fan's heart. He was determined to teach this masked woman a harsh lesson.

The masked woman chuckled, "If I release her first, will you give me the person? You throw Ye Tianyu over here first. Don't worry, I won't kill her. She means nothing to me. But if you delay any longer, she might soon perish."

Lin Fan said coldly, "If she dies, I guarantee you won't leave this forest."

Lin Fan didn't argue further; he simply raised his hand and tossed Ye Tianyu before the masked woman like a dead dog.

The masked woman, keeping her word, released her grip, and Loli fell. But before Loli could catch her balance, the masked woman slapped her back.

Thud!

Loli spat a mouthful of blood on the spot, soaring towards Lin Fan like a kite with a broken string.

The masked woman's true intent was to distract Lin Fan by injuring Loli, knowing he would be too occupied with saving her to pursue her.

Without hesitation, she grabbed Ye Tianyu and swiftly turned to flee.

Lin Fan caught Loli. With top-notch medical skills, he quickly realized Loli was gravely injured and indeed couldn't pursue the masked woman immediately. He hurriedly placed Loli on the ground.

"Don't worry about me, catch her…"

Loli said with difficulty, still vomiting blood, her once pretty face now as pale as a sheet.

Lin Fan's anger was already flaring. He had anticipated the masked woman wouldn't be easy to deal with and that's why he asked her to exchange first. But the situation wasn't in his favor; he cared about Loli's life, whereas the masked woman didn't care about Ye Tianyu after all, her target was to kill Ye Tianyu.

In this comparison, Lin Fan had no choice but to compromise.

Ultimately, the masked woman did injure Loli.

Suppressing his anger, Lin Fan said, "Don't speak for now, let me heal you first, don't worry, she won't get away."

Loli had no choice but to comply.

A moment later, using his top-tier medical skills, Lin Fan stabilized Loli's injury. It was obvious that the masked woman was a master of inner strength, and Loli was hurt by her inner force, sustaining internal injuries. Under such conditions, Lin Fan could only stabilize her injury for now; further medication would be required for a full recovery.

At this moment, the police officers whom the masked woman had knocked down earlier recovered their movement and climbed back up.

The masked woman had only incapacitated them without harming their lives, indicating she had some scruples.

They wanted to pursue the masked woman, but Lin Fan stopped them by saying, "Don't go, you'll only be walking to your deaths!"

The officers listened to Lin Fan's advice. He was right; they were no match for the masked woman.

They could only gather around and watch as Lin Fan took out the silver needles he carried, inserting them into several of Loli's major acupuncture points to help her with using acupuncture techniques.

A moment later, a hint of redness returned to Loli's pale face.

The officers were amazed. Lin Fan's medical skills were remarkable. Was this the legendary Chinese acupuncture?

Once Loli's injury was stable, Lin Fan quickly put away the silver needles and said, "Help take care of her."

With that, he set Loli down, stood up, and immediately set off to track the masked woman.

There was no denying that the masked woman succeeded. She injured Loli, delaying Lin Fan, and bought herself enough time to escape, running far without a trace.

But at the same time, she successfully angered Lin Fan. No matter how far she ran, Lin Fan was determined to capture her.

Loli regained consciousness, but was too weak to move, watching Lin Fan's figure fade into the distance. She said, "Inform the others, ask them to come to assist Lin Fan!"

Lin Fan was up against not only that formidable masked woman but also another group. Loli couldn't let Lin Fan face danger alone.

Damn it! Loli inwardly cursed herself for being useless. Getting injured at such a crucial moment left her unable to do anything.

In the darkness, the masked woman carried Ye Tianyu swiftly through the forest.

She came to kill Ye Tianyu, but oddly, she didn't kill him immediately and instead tried to take him away.

"Leave him, and your life will be spared!"

Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind.

Not Lin Fan's voice, but that of a young man!

The masked woman ignored it and kept moving.

But the next second, two streaks of silver light came flying at her, turns out to be two daggers!

The masked woman had to halt and dodge, just in time to see two young girls in traditional clothes step out and block her path.

The young man also stepped out from behind, sneering, "Did you really think you could escape, we were watching that entire show!"

The masked woman was worried about this happening. When she encountered the police, she was trying to escape from the three of Tang Sect.

So now that the three from Tang Sect had found her, she wasn't surprised.

"Hmph, aren't you afraid I'll kill him now!" the masked woman scoffed.

The young man said, "I'm curious why you haven't killed him, weren't you here to kill him? Why?"

The masked woman remained silent.

The young man chuckled, "Are you saying you kept him for a purpose? What use does he have for you?"

The masked woman said, "Why ask so much, if you want to fight, let's fight!"

The young man said, "It wouldn't be difficult to take you down, you weren't our match before, now that you're carrying someone, you're even less of a match!"

The masked woman knew he was right; under these circumstances, it was difficult for her to escape unscathed.

"Was that man over there the tough guy you mentioned?" the masked woman asked.

The young man said, "That's the guy. Turns out I was right, Ye Tianyu fell into his hands, we've been struggling all night to no avail compared to this guy."

The masked woman said, "I believe you, this guy does have something special, he'll soon catch up with us. If we fight here, this bastard will only reap the benefits!"

The young man said, "What do you suggest?"

The masked woman said, "Let's shake off this guy first."

The young man said, "I still want to know why you haven't just killed Ye Tianyu?"

The masked woman said coldly, "Then why do you care so much about him, is he important to you?"

The young man blinked, thinking of something, and said, "Could it be…"
