Hearing these words, You Mingxu understood.

It was a chilling, nauseating, oppressive feeling. She immediately looked at Yin Feng – his eyes were like two pools of cold water. Though his people stood behind him, You Mingxu suddenly felt he looked so lonely, so isolated. And his brother perhaps had never even seen him as a person.

But in an instant, Yin Feng smiled the dangerous glint in his eyes even more intense than Yin Chen’s and said: “Yes, I remember. Big brother, it seems you haven’t won.”

Though Yin Chen’s face still held a smile, his muscles twitched slightly.

And in You Mingxu’s heart, that oppressive pain suddenly vanished with Yin Feng’s words.

Yes, Yin Feng had been winning all along.

He had won against Yin Chen’s test and the darkness in his own heart.

Just then.

The sound of an engine roared behind everyone, instantly growing from distant to near. All heads turned to see a completely battered SUV emerge from the darkness. The driver, broad-shouldered and muscular, covered in blood, eyes blazing with fury, was none other than Tu Ya!

You Mingxu’s heart leaped – she almost laughed out loud! Thank goodness, Tu Ya wasn’t dead! He had even managed to catch up.

…But what about Xiao Yan?

There was no second person visible in the car. You Mingxu’s heart sank.

In an instant, Tu Ya’s car charged straight at the Punishers. Yin Chen and his men, pulling their hostages, quickly jumped aside as the car nearly brushed their clothes as it passed, rushing straight to Yin Feng’s side before coming to a thunderous stop.

Tu Ya jumped out and yanked open the back door, dragging someone out and throwing them to the ground – it was Xing Yanjun.

Xing Yanjun had been in the car Tu Ya had crashed into. Now he was covered in blood, eyes tightly shut, face deathly pale, unconscious.

Across the way, Xing Jifu’s gaze trembled.

Tu Ya said: “Xiao Yan’s in the back.” His voice was as hoarse as if it had been ground to pieces.

Chen Feng immediately ran to check the back seat.

Yin Feng asked: “Is he still alive?”

Tu Ya answered: “I don’t know…” Before he could finish, he collapsed to the ground, unconscious. Yin Feng and Champion caught him, with Champion saying softly: “Leave him to us.” Yin Feng gripped Tu Ya’s arm tightly, staring at his face for several seconds before slowly letting go. When he raised his head again, his eyes held a dark light.

Chen Feng ran to the other car and opened the trunk to get the first aid kit, while Champion helped while keeping watch on the opposite side.

On Yin Feng’s side, despite the “family reunion,” Lao Jiu, Yin Feng, and Champion kept their guns trained on the other side, so the Punishers didn’t try to attack. Yin Chen didn’t bother either.

But Yin Chen’s expression was dark.

In this encounter, though Yin Feng had lost two men who appeared critically injured, the Punishers had lost an entire car of men and had two vehicles disabled. All told, Yin Feng’s criminals had outperformed the Punishers.

Now Yin Feng stood up and asked: “Big brother, I’ve always wanted to know – did you create the Punisher organization?”

Yin Chen studied him for a moment before answering: “Yes. But these questions can wait until next time when your brother will teach you more. Your police reinforcements are almost here, aren’t they?”

Yin Feng just smiled without speaking.

Seeing his brother like this, Yin Chen felt both fondness and a desire to plunge a knife into his back to wipe away that smile forever. His brother had always been clever since childhood, with cunning, unlike any crime lord. Even now, he was putting on an act, trying to stall for time until reinforcements arrived.

Yin Chen’s face turned cold as he said: “Give me a car. I’ll return You Mingxu to you.”

Yin Feng said: “Include Xing Jifu.”

Yin Chen: “Impossible. You know I came for him. In police hands, he faces a quick death. In my hands, he’ll die slowly, painfully. For the police, the result is no different – what do you lose? Yin Feng, you know my habits; this is a fair deal. Don’t try to negotiate with me, don’t provoke me.”

Yin Feng fell silent, his gaze meeting You Mingxu’s from afar, then nodded: “Fine.”

Yin Chen gestured for one of his men to get the car while he kept his gun trained on the back of You Mingxu’s head as they walked forward.

You Mingxu looked at Yin Feng, their gazes meeting for an instant. Yin Feng started slightly, seeming to understand her look, his eyes remaining calm and steady.

Champion threw the car keys to the Punisher, who started the car and began backing up while the other Punishers moved forward with Xing Jifu.

When Yin Chen reached a position parallel to the car, he stopped, tapping You Mingxu’s head with his gun barrel, saying softly: “Dear sister-in-law, go on. Our family has plenty of time ahead.”

You Mingxu walked step by step toward Yin Feng.

Behind Yin Feng, Lao Jiu, and Champion kept their guns trained on the Punishers. Chen Feng had already moved Tu Ya and Xiao Yan to the damaged car, while Xing Yanjun lay ignored on the ground.

The Punishers had reached the car, first throwing Xing Jifu in, then climbing in one by one, leaving some men outside with guns drawn in standoff.

Yin Chen opened the passenger door, about to get in.

You Mingxu had just reached a position four or five meters in front of him.

Gunfire suddenly erupted!

Champion fired first, his eyes narrowed to slits, accurately shooting through the car window at an extremely tight angle, hitting Yin Chen’s right shoulder at high speed! Yin Chen’s body shuddered, unable to enter the car immediately.

The Punishers’ faces changed in unison as they ducked behind car doors and returned fire! Yin Feng’s group had been prepared, taking cover behind Tu Ya’s car to return fire!

However, in the same second Champion fired, You Mingxu suddenly fell backward, dropping to the ground and executing two lightning-fast back rolls, her limbs barely seeming to touch the ground as she flew past, instantly appearing behind Yin Chen.

The ropes on her hands had long since fallen away. This time, she employed her most practiced jiu-jitsu move. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she sprang up like a weightless spring. Even with Yin Chen’s superior skills, he couldn’t dodge this move. Moreover, he’d been shot. Yin Chen only felt a cold sensation at his neck as You Mingxu pressed a wooden dagger against it, instantly drawing blood.

With his shoulder wound, Yin Chen momentarily lost strength. Before the Punishers could react, You Mingxu grabbed him and turned, positioning her back toward Yin Feng’s group with Yin Chen as a shield in front, shouting: “Everyone drop your weapons!” Then she dragged Yin Chen, stepping backward toward her side.

Capture the leader to win the battle – with Yin Chen in hand, the stalemate had dramatically shifted!

This sudden turn of events left all the Punishers looking at each other in dismay. Yin Chen’s face also darkened – who could have imagined this woman would be so daring, rolling back through the gunfire to capture him! And that move – he’d had no chance to dodge it!
