At the moment when the bearded hunk held Ye Chen hostage with his dagger, Ye Chen's expression changed drastically.
The surrounding tourists were stunned, including Huang Fugui, Yan Ning, and the rest.
"No!"
Sun Sirong was the first to react upon seeing that Ye Chen was being held hostage. She screamed and wanted to charge over by instinct.
"Don't move!"
The bearded hunk shouted immediately. He pressed the dagger tightly against Ye Chen's neck and said fiercely, "Try me if you want him dead."
Meanwhile.
His eyes were fixed on the policewoman.
The three of them were Ancient Martial Arts Practitioners, and their abilities were not weak. They were not afraid of so many ordinary people at the scene. The only thing they were afraid of was the gun in the policewoman's hand.
"Don't act recklessly. Let go of Brother Ye now," Yan Ning shouted.
Huang Fugui, Huang Pei and Huang Fugui were drenched in cold sweat.
The policewoman also reacted. Her pretty face slightly changed. She took a deep breath and said, "What do you want?"
"What else could it be?"
The bearded man sneered, "Officer Ye, you've been pestering us the whole way. Aren't you tired? My request is simple. Let us go immediately. "
"Dream on!"
Ye Jing refused without thinking, "Your Lone Wolf Assassin Group has killed countless innocent people over the years. Your hands are stained with blood. If I let you go, more people will die."
"So you want to fight to the death? I'll count to three. If you don't move aside, I'll kill this brat. "
The curly-bearded man's dagger looked fierce as he began to count down, "Three …"
"No, let them go!" Yan Ning's pretty face changed.
Ye Jing hesitated for a moment before she gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, let him go first, then I'll let you go."
"You think I'm an idiot? If I let him go first, what if you go back on your word? "
A man behind the bearded man couldn't help but sneer, "Officer Ye, get out of the way for my brothers. I'll naturally let this brat go when I get to a safe place."
"No!"
Ye Jing immediately refused, "What if you kill them after you're safe? I have to ensure the safety of the hostages. How about this, you guys walk in front, and I'll follow behind. We'll keep a distance of 100 meters between us. "
The curly-bearded man's expression changed several times, then he nodded and said, "Okay, you can only follow us within a hundred meters. If you dare to take one more step, I will kill this kid."
"Alright."
Ye Jing agreed and then waved her hand to signal the people on the side to make way for them.
"You two go first."
The bearded hunk turned his head to glance at the duo behind him. The duo nodded and walked out first. He then dragged Ye Chen out of the crowd slowly.
"Grandmaster Ye!"
"Brother Ye!"
Sun Sirong and Yan Ning wanted to catch up by instinct, but they were stopped by Ye Jing. "Wait, it's less than 100 meters away!"
"Officer Ye, you must save Master Ye. Nothing can happen to him." Sun Sirong was so anxious that her forehead was covered in sweat.
Ye Jing took a deep look at her. "Miss Sun, you should be glad that I came one step earlier, and you should be even more glad that they didn't kidnap you."
"What do you mean?" Sun Sirong was slightly stunned.
Ye Jing said coldly, "Because we heard that the three assassins are coming for you."
Sun Sirong's face turned pale immediately.
She had no enmity with them, so why would they want to assassinate her? Moreover, how did they know where she was?
"Alright, we can follow them now."
Ye Jing had been counting the time. Seeing that it was about time, she took a step forward and chased after them. Sun Sirong, Yan Ning, and Zhang Daniu followed her immediately.
Huang Fugui and Huang Pei, who were staying where they were, looked at each other. They hesitated for a moment before following them.
…
The curly-bearded hunk dragged Ye Chen to somewhere with no one around.
When they passed by a small alley, a middle-aged man among the three of them said, "Brother Hu, the Ye woman doesn't seem to be following us."
The curly-bearded hunk was relieved to hear that. Killing intent flashed through his eyes when he turned to look at Ye Chen. "Brat, blame your bad luck for bumping into us, the Wolf, Tiger, and Leopard Brothers."
"Three heroes, didn't you promise the police officer that you'll let me go as long as you're safe?"
Fear flashed across Ye Chen's face. He said angrily, "I understand now. You guys didn't keep your word."
"Hahaha!"
The three of them burst into laughter.
The curly-bearded man sneered, "Naive brat, you've already seen us three brothers, how could we let you go?"
"Don't worry, I'll be quick. I won't let you feel any pain."
The bearded hunk slashed the dagger in his hand at Ye Chen's throat after saying that.
To him, his dagger was extremely sharp. All he had to do was to cut Ye Chen's throat lightly and a huge amount of blood would spurt out.
However, when his dagger slit Ye Chen's throat, the sound of metal rubbing against metal was replaced.
When he looked again, Ye Chen's neck was fine. Instead, the dagger had countless nicks.
The bearded hunk stared blankly at the dagger while the other two looked at Ye Chen in disbelief.
The next moment.
The bearded hunk felt his arm loosen. Subsequently, his vision went blurry.
By the time he snapped back to his senses, Ye Chen had freed himself from his grip. He was standing two steps away and looking at them with a wry smile. "There's no one here. I can finally kill someone!"
What a fast speed!
The three of them were horrified. The bearded hunk inhaled sharply. "W-who exactly are you?"
"They call me Mad Southern Ye."
Ye Chen smirked, revealing his white teeth. "You guys are unlucky. You guys could've kidnapped anyone, but you kidnapped me."
Mad Southern Ye!
As soon as he said that.
The bearded hunk and the other two felt their scalps tingle.
They were also ancient martial artists. Moreover, they were from an assassin organization. How could they not know about Mad Southern Ye?
He had killed Master Yuan Bupo on the Surge River and three masters on the peak of the snow mountain. Each of those incidents had shocked the entire Martial Dao World in China. Coupled with the No. 1 on the Heaven Leaderboard, Mad Southern Ye had become the No. 1 person in China.
Such a person had been on the Lone Wolf assassin organization's blacklist since the beginning because they could not afford to offend him.
"30 years old, always bringing a little girl with him. He has a cold aura and a high level of Martial Dao. Looking closely, he looks 70% to 80% similar to the one in the photo …"
The bearded hunk's lips were trembling.
Plop!
The three of them staggered and knelt before Ye Chen at the same time. They buried their heads low while they were shaking intensely.
It was really Mad Southern Ye!
Such a person could kill a Martial Dao master with a swing of his sword and a punch. One of them was even running away like a dead dog.
However, they had kidnapped Mad Southern Ye of all people!
At that moment …
The bearded hunk and the other two were in despair.
Ye Jing, Sun Sirong, Yan Ning, Huang Fugui, and the rest who rushed over saw that. They were so shocked that they could not speak.
What was going on?
The bearded hunk could not stop kowtowing as soon as he saw Ye Jing. "Officer Ye, please arrest us. We definitely won't fight back."
"Uh …" Ye Jing was dumbstruck.
What exactly happened?
Why were the three assassins who were dying to grow wings and run earlier begging her to arrest them in the blink of an eye?
"Arrest me. Quick, Officer Ye, I'm begging you," the bearded hunk proceeded to say.
They would rather be arrested by Ye Jing than be killed by the devil, Ye Chen, on the spot.
Just when Ye Jing was going to say something, she heard a gunshot all of a sudden. Out of habit, she pushed Sun Sirong and Yan Ning who were before her. "Oh no, get down now!"
Ye Chen squinted and looked toward the direction of the gunshot. A sniper rifle bullet was gradually enlarging in his pupils!
Moreover, he was the target of the bullet.
