141: Cut off his arm

Finally, after much deliberation, Old Brother Yan said, “I’ll give you three minutes to resolve this. After three minutes, I can’t pretend I didn’t see anything!”

With that, he left with his men.

“Don’t worry, Old Brother Yan! We definitely won’t make things difficult for you; one minute is enough!” Qian Jiao laughed arrogantly.

“Take away this thief who stole Young Master Ming’s valuable treasure!” Qian Jiao looked at Ai Yue with a smug smile and said to the three people who followed him.

The three thugs immediately stepped forward to grab Ai Yue.

Ai Yue flashed and dodged to the side, causing them to grab nothing but air.

“Brother Qian, this woman is too fast, we can’t catch her.”

Qian Jiao wasn’t angry; instead, he sneered, pulled a gun from his waist, aimed it at Ai Yue, and arrogantly said, “I advise you to recognize the situation and come with us obediently, otherwise I’ll execute you on the spot.”

Ai Yue frowned. The governance of Songzhou Safety Tower was clearly lacking. Committing crimes openly in the newly opened Trading Center, and no one dared to intervene. It seemed the Young Master Ming he spoke of had a powerful background!

She didn't understand how she had just entered and hadn't even shown her face, yet she was targeted by this Young Master Ming.

However, Ai Yue felt no fear. What power or authority mattered before absolute strength? Since this lackey dared to point a gun at her and threaten her, she had to collect some interest.

Ai Yue drew her military knife from her waist, used her Extreme Speed Superpower, and instantly appeared beside Qian Jiao. Before he could react, one strike severed his arm.

“Ah…” Qian Jiao screamed repeatedly, staring in disbelief at his arm on the ground, wailing in pain.

The other three looked at each other, their eyes filled with horror, and immediately pulled out their pistols, aiming at Ai Yue, but not daring to shoot.

They hadn’t even seen how Ai Yue got to Qian Jiao’s side. She just suddenly disappeared and then reappeared; this was completely beyond human comprehension.

Hearing the screams, and with more and more people gathering, Old Brother Yan couldn't pretend to be oblivious and quickly rushed over with his men.

“What’s wrong? What happened?” Old Brother Yan was somewhat surprised by the scene before him and immediately surrounded Ai Yue with his men without explanation.

“Heh… you don’t surround the terrorists pointing guns at me, but instead surround me? What? Are you in league with those terrorists? And this Trading Center you’ve set up is actually meant to round up all of us outsiders who come to trade?”

The surrounding people burst into an uproar, discussing animatedly and looking at Old Brother Yan and his men with questioning eyes.

Some cautious individuals had already started to flee.

Old Brother Yan saw the huge impact of Ai Yue’s single sentence, and sweat poured down his forehead in anxiety. If this bad reputation spread, whether the Trading Center could continue to operate was unclear, but his head would definitely be moving.

Old Brother Yan’s face turned red, and he hurriedly said, “What nonsense are you talking about? How could that be? It’s you! You stole someone else’s things, and now you’re trying to shift the blame!”

“Oh? Whose things did I steal? What did I steal that made you keep silent and implicitly allow those few terrorists to violently take me away?”

At this moment, Old Brother Yan, having recovered from his initial panic, looked at Ai Yue with a venomous expression.

It was all this wretched woman’s fault for making things so bad. He couldn’t let her make things worse. At this point, whether she was innocent no longer mattered.

Old Brother Yan’s eyes sharpened, and he loudly declared, “You have disrupted the order of the Trading Center and caused an extremely negative impact. According to regulations, you can be executed on the spot.”

Although his words were directed at Ai Yue, they were actually for everyone around to hear.

He and his subordinates, including the three thugs, all aimed their guns at Ai Yue and mercilessly pulled the triggers.

Ai Yue used Extreme Speed to grab Qian Jiao, who had lost an arm, and used him as a shield.

“Puff, puff, puff…”

A series of sounds of bullets hitting flesh rang out.

Old Brother Yan saw that not a single hair on Ai Yue was harmed, and his heart grew anxious. This matter couldn’t be dragged out too long, otherwise, if the leaders found out, he would suffer a terrible fate.

He immediately ordered: “Continue!”

Just as everyone was about to continue shooting, a loud shout came: “Stop!”

Old Brother Yan’s face changed drastically, and the hand holding the gun trembled violently, no longer able to aim at Ai Yue.

The others all put down their guns, while Young Master Ming’s three thugs, realizing something was wrong upon hearing the newcomer’s voice, tried to slip away but were pinned to the ground by the arriving base soldiers.

The crowd automatically parted, and a figure, surrounded by others, came forward.

A Handsome Guy with a heroic demeanor sternly questioned, “Yan Sanli, what’s going on here?”

Old Brother Yan shivered all over, twitched his mouth, and said, “Colonel Gong, it’s nothing, just a small matter, I’m handling it.”

“Hmm?”

“Uh… someone was disrupting the center’s order, causing an extremely negative impact, I…”

“I’ll give you one more chance. Tell the truth!”

Yan Sanli closed his eyes, his mouth full of bitterness, and could only tell the truth: it was all because of Young Master Ming. Ai Yue had caught Young Master Ming’s eye, and he wanted to forcefully take her back, which led to the conflict.

The Handsome Guy turned to look at the three thugs squatting on the ground with their hands over their heads and said, “Go back and tell Ming Zhe that I built this Trading Center with my own hands, and he is never welcome here. Tell him to get out immediately.”

His voice wasn’t loud, but no one dared to ignore it.

The three thugs agreed repeatedly and quickly ran back to report to their master.

“As for you, your position as commander of the public security team is revoked. From today onwards, you will start from the lowest level.”

Yan Sanli nodded repeatedly with pleasant surprise. He had thought the best outcome would be to be expelled from the Safety Tower, but he didn't expect Colonel Gong to give him such a light punishment.

After dealing with the few people, the Handsome Guy turned his gaze to Ai Yue and said kindly, “Miss, I am very sorry. It was my oversight that caused you trouble. Rest assured, you are safe here with me. No one can commit evil here.”

Ai Yue looked at him coldly: “If I weren’t capable myself, I would already be a corpse, do you know that? Can your apology make me feel at ease? And just let this matter go?”

The Handsome Guy frowned slightly, “You want to kill the mastermind?”

“I want him to lose a leg!”

The Handsome Guy shook his head helplessly and said, “I’m afraid that won’t do. He’s the only male heir in his family, and his grandfather is the Second-in-Command of Songzhou Safety Tower. We cannot touch him.”

No wonder those lackeys were so arrogant, daring to casually accuse her of a crime and abduct her in broad daylight.

Looking at how easily they framed her, they must have done this often, and who knows how many people have fallen victim to them.

“He can do whatever he wants in your base because of his grandfather’s power?” Ai Yue’s cold voice rang out.
