Chapter 743: From Bone Fractures to Ashes

"Hmm? You know Zhu Faluo?"

Yun Yexi's brows furrowed instantly, and even his breathing became rapid.

He turned around abruptly, staring intently at San Wu, his voice beginning to tremble uncontrollably. "For real? Ah, no, is it true? You know Zhu Faluo? When did you meet her? Where is she right now?"

San Wu smiled charmingly, but she had no intention of answering directly.

Although she was young and not particularly tall, her figure and posture were excellent.

Perhaps because she was a girl, she had an extraordinary temperament, looking quite tall and ethereal.

Clutching her long sword, she cast her "gaze" toward a spot not far ahead and said indifferently, "Brother Yun Yexi, this is not the time to discuss such things. Let's hurry up and finish this; they must be dying to meet their deaths."

Yun Yexi was stunned.

"When this is over, you must tell me everything about Zhu Faluo."

At this moment, the frivolity on his face was gone.

Replaced by incomparable deep affection.

"Boss! He... he actually charged over alone?"

"And there's a little girl? How were we exposed?"

"What should we do?"

Upon hearing this, Muller and Ryan exchanged glances, also feeling a bit confused. According to their intelligence, only Qin Liyue and Qu Wenyu had decent combat power around Jin Lu, aside from the members of the Qianlu Security Team.

Most of those people practiced external martial arts and were of little use.

But... how could Yun Yexi appear here? Did the Yun Family betray them? And what the hell is this little girl?

But there was no time to lose. Yun Yexi's speed was extremely fast; it would only take a few breaths for him to rush in front of them. Now was not the time to hesitate. If they didn't act now, they would likely be forced into close-quarters combat, and a few of his brothers would die.

As the commander, Muller glanced at San Wu, who stood alone in front of the car.

He decisively gave the order, "Team Two and Team Three, go kill the little girl, then drag Jin Lu out of the car. Pay attention, set up a blockade at the parking lot exit; do not let them start the car and rush out!"

"Team One! Ryan, come with me to kill Yun Yexi!"

"End the battle as quickly as possible! Move!"

As soon as Muller's voice fell, everyone lying in ambush in the parking lot moved.

Two teams charged aggressively toward Jin Lu. There were fifteen people in total, all attacking San Wu simultaneously, preparing to take her down and then drag Jin Lu out of the car. Because the superiors ordered to take her alive, they wouldn't use guns at first, fearing they might accidentally kill her in a hail of bullets.

But this was the fatal mistake they made.

Eight of them rushed to San Wu first, drew poisoned daggers, and slashed at her throat.

San Wu flipped her wrist. She was wearing ancient Hanfu, looking like a lady from an imperial palace. But holding a long sword, she also looked like a swordswoman from legendary tales. She stood aloof from the world, ethereal and transcendent, yet flicking her fingers brought forth glory.

Her sleeves fluttered, and her long sword thrust out, stirring up a commotion.

San Wu's sword was fast to the extreme.

Like a flash of light, it descended suddenly.

The blades were like fierce tigers, the sword like flying wind. San Wu tapped with her sword tip repeatedly, and those eight people had their throats pierced in an instant, blood spraying wildly. From their sudden charge to being covered in blood, it only took a few breaths.

The remaining seven people were instantly terrified and retreated wildly, nearly scared out of their wits by San Wu!

The seven of them made a prompt decision, immediately drawing their shotguns and firing a hail of bullets at San Wu!

Without waiting for Muller's order, the tacit understanding cultivated over years of collaborative combat took over. They knew there was no way to take down San Wu using normal methods; they had to shoot her dead immediately, even if it meant risking injury to Jin Lu.

San Wu's reaction was also extremely fast; she tapped her toes and darted behind the car.

[Bang bang bang bang—]

Bullets struck the car body.

The car shook continuously, and Qin Liyue and Qu Wenyu were panicked and terrified.

However, Jin Lu inside sat calmly, completely unruffled.

She even closed her eyes slightly, as if she were not in the middle of a hail of bullets, but in the gentlest harbor. This composure was something that even Yun Yexi, who had been attracted by the gunfire and was watching the scene from not far away, couldn't help but deeply admire.

And his sword intent reached Muller and Ryan as well.

Meanwhile, the sky was beginning to brighten. But the Ran Family mansion was full of blood and slaughter.

"Where... where is my daughter?" Ran Ruqiu's father, Ran Hongyu, said tremblingly.

Duan Qiran sat brazenly in the seat where Ran Ruqiu had been sitting, looking down at them. "She has been taken to where she should be; someone wants to see her. If you don't want to go with her, shut up and sit properly over there."

"Then, what about the shares that were just handed over to Ran Ruqiu?" President Ran Tinglan couldn't help but ask.

"Her shares naturally have a more suitable place; don't trouble yourself with that. The only thing you need to do now is stay here honestly, understand? Do not walk around randomly and affect the overall situation."

After successfully rescuing Zhong Xiaoyao's younger brother, Duan Qiran rushed here immediately.

Since the Ran Family did not have a very strong lineup of bodyguards, the assassination team sent here was also bottom-tier. There was no powerful expert leading them; they simply handed twenty-some members to Ran Ruqiu to handle.

But how could they be rivals to the [Qianlu Security Team]?

This battle could be considered their official debut.

Duan Qiran + Fengfeng + Yueyue, the three of them attacked aggressively, bringing fifteen Qianlu Security personnel to assist. With an overwhelming force, they wiped out this group completely, leaving not a single shred of suspense, dominating to the extreme.

Seeing these soldiers descending from heaven, Ran Ruqiu was naturally pale with fear.

She was just a weak woman; how could she possibly resist the wolf-like Duan Qiran and the others?

Thus, the most suspense-free battle ended easily. Duan Qiran and his men completely took control of the Ran Family. No one had any room to maneuver; they were all kept here. Except for the already dead Ran Hongyue and the beautiful woman sent by Matriarch Ran Meilian.

The people of the Ran Family were basically all still alive, just still shivering.

Although Duan Qiran sat there like a door god, he was frowning.

Until he felt his phone vibrate. After confirming the message on it, Duan Qiran finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He stood up slowly. "Let's go. Their life or death no longer has anything to do with us. President Ran Hongchun, Ran Tianyu, Guan Xueqi, President Ran Ruhuan, Ran Tianhan, Ran Yutai, Ran Gaolan, you all come with us. I'll send you home; it's over."

Duan Qiran read out a long list of names; these were the people who had defected to Jin Lu's side the earliest. Naturally, they had to be given due preferential treatment.

President Ran Tinglan immediately stood up, her voice trembling as she said, "I, I am also willing to listen to President Jin's instructions! From today on, I will follow her lead and never dare to have any thoughts of disobedience! Please take us with you too... I... I am really afraid that someone will come and kill us..."

"Yes, me too! I can also love and respect President Jin!"

"We will all listen to you, we..."

Before they could finish, Duan Qiran impatiently kicked and shattered the coffee table in front of him, saying with a dark face, "Shut the hell up, all of you! You don't even have a tiny bit of shares left in your hands now; what use are you? You didn't pick a side early, and now you're begging for mercy? Do you still want a piece of the meat? Get lost!"

"If you dare to blabber one more word, minor injury means fractures, major injury means an urn."

Sure enough, force deterrence is always the most useful. Everyone couldn't help but shut their mouths.

They could only watch with extreme envy as President Ran Hongchun and the others left.

In fact, even if these people stayed here, there probably wouldn't be any danger. After all, the people who needed to be dealt with had already been dealt with. Moreover, the Ran Family mansion had been cleaned up by the very professional Qianlu Security Team.

The bloody scene from just a moment ago no longer existed; all that remained was panic and anxiety.

The east was already bright, and purple energy was abundant.

San Wu chased down and killed the last person. When she pulled her sword from Muller's body, it signified that this counter-assassination battle had met its final victory. "Gazing" at the ethereal purple energy on the horizon, she closed her eyes slightly and breathed deeply.

At that moment, Yun Yexi was actually a bit mesmerized.

It was as if she were bathed in a layer of purple halo.

This little girl... How old is she, and she already has such temperament?

She's already starting to be so devastatingly beautiful; if she grows up a bit more, what will that be like?

As expected of the little sister who knows Zhu Faluo...

So, what is Zheng Qian doing? What, is he doing?
