57: Section 57

Xiao Fan remained unhurried, extending his right hand to directly pinch the dagger.

The Masked Person's pupils contracted upon seeing this, realizing something was amiss, and immediately let go.

It was only then that Qing Yuan, hiding in the shadows, reacted.

She decisively moved to intercept the Masked Person.

To her surprise, the Masked Person's speed was incredibly fast.

She hadn't even fully reacted before the Masked Person had already bypassed her, seemingly about to escape the garage.

"Hmph, do you think you can escape?"

Xiao Fan snorted coldly, his body transforming into afterimages, stirring up a gust of wind wherever he passed.

In the blink of an eye, he had already caught up to the Masked Person.

Hearing the sound behind her, the Masked Person turned and shot out a small knife.

"Petty tricks."

Xiao Fan repeated his trick, his inner energy circulating as he clasped the small knife in his hand.

He then hurled the small knife at the Masked Person.

Although he hadn't practiced throwing knives, Xiao Fan's strength was astonishing.

The small knife shot out like a bullet from a gun.

The Masked Person tried to dodge, but the knife was too fast.

She was still grazed on her left arm by the small knife, falling to the ground.

A streak of fresh blood dripped down her fair skin.

Xiao Fan closed in, pulling off the Masked Person's veil.

Beneath the veil was a face capable of enchanting all beings; even Xiao Fan, who had seen countless women, couldn't help but be momentarily dazed.

A temptress!

'Now I don't owe you anything.'

Seeing no hope of escape, a small knife slid from the sleeve of Zhu Que's right hand, and she moved it towards her neck.

However, she was fast, but someone was even faster than her.

Xiao Fan grabbed Zhu Que's wrist, circulating his inner energy to completely seal her strength.

Xiao Fan naturally wouldn't let her die so easily.

"Young Master, your Guard was ineffective! Please punish your Guard!"

Qing Yuan knelt on one knee, her eyes filled with self-reproach.

"This isn't your fault. She has the strength of a Grandmaster; you couldn't have handled it.

Carry her to my car; I want to interrogate her thoroughly."

Chapter 51: Zhu Que's Past

"Yes, Young Master."

Qing Yuan stepped forward, expertly dislocating all of Zhu Que's limb joints.

Being meticulous, she didn't even spare her jawbone.

Since the other party intended to kill Xiao Fan, Qing Yuan naturally wouldn't show any mercy.

A flicker of despair crossed Zhu Que's eyes; she knew well what awaited her if she was captured alive.

But she was completely helpless now, unable even to bite her tongue to commit suicide.

"Tell me, you're such a beautiful woman, couldn't you have done something else instead of trying to assassinate me?"

Xiao Fan squatted down, looking at Zhu Que's stubborn face.

Unfortunately, Zhu Que couldn't speak now and could only stare intently at Xiao Fan with her eyes.

If looks could kill, Xiao Fan would have died hundreds of times over.

"Take her away."

At Xiao Fan's command, Qing Yuan hoisted Zhu Que and roughly threw her into the car.

The intense pain made Zhu Que's body tremble slightly.

After returning home, Xiao Fan carried Zhu Que to the third floor, under the astonished gazes of the servants.

"Actually, even if you don't say it, I know who you are. Su Yuan sent you, didn't he?"

Other than Su Yuan, Xiao Fan couldn't think of anyone else who could send such a powerful person to assassinate him.

At these words, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhu Que's eyes as she lay on the bed.

"My apologies, I forgot you can't speak right now.

But I advise you not to think about suicide, or I will make you realize how wrong your decision was."

Looking at Xiao Fan's indifferent gaze, Zhu Que felt a little unnerved.

Then Xiao Fan reset her jawbone.

"You won. I have nothing to say. Do as you please."

Even captured, Zhu Que's eyes remained arrogant.

In her heart, she had never respected anyone except Su Yuan.

"Really? You said that. Don't regret it, okay?"

Xiao Fan's eyes lit up, almost as if he had 'I am a pervert' written on his face.

Looking at Xiao Fan's predatory gaze, Zhu Que felt a little flustered.

Although she was decisive in her actions, she had remained chaste all these years.

Thinking of her upcoming predicament, Zhu Que desperately closed her eyes.

"Just kidding. I have no interest in dead fish."

"What do you mean! Who's a dead fish? I..."

Hearing Xiao Fan's words, Zhu Que felt a mix of relief and anger.

Was her charm not enough?

"Answer me, did Su Yuan send you?"

Seeing Zhu Que remain silent, Xiao Fan continued,

"Heh heh, you're truly loyal to Su Yuan.

You still don't know, do you? It was Su Yuan who sent people to wipe out your entire family back then."

"That's impossible! Master Su Yuan saved me; how could he possibly send people to destroy my entire family?"

Hearing Xiao Fan's words, Zhu Que's expression became agitated.

If Zhu Que's limbs weren't currently immobilized, Xiao Fan would have suspected the girl was about to lunge and bite him.

"You're such a fool, truly big-breasted and brainless, helping Su Yuan count his money even after he sold you out.

Didn't you ever think that his appearance was a little too coincidental?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Que gradually calmed down and fell into a memory... It was a dark and windy night.

A group of Men in Black, from who knows where, suddenly broke into the Mo family residence.

Each Man in Black wielded a sharp weapon, killing anyone they saw, not even sparing the dogs in the courtyard.

In an instant, the Mo family was thrown into chaos, with screams echoing endlessly.

A fifteen-year-old girl was hidden under the bed by her parents.

She watched with her own eyes as two Men in Black hacked her parents to death.

Trembling all over, she desperately covered her mouth, not daring to make a sound.

Until... the Mo family once again fell silent.

After a long period of no movement, the girl finally dared to crawl out from under the bed.

Looking at her parents, who had died with their eyes open, the girl cried for the first time in her life.

"Boss, I told you there were still some who slipped through the net."

"You're the clever one, kid. After this is done, Big Brother will treat you to a massage."

"Haha, thank you, Big Brother!"

The girl looked up in fear.

Several Men in Black, holding blood-dripping broadswords, appeared at the room's entrance.
