Song Zhizhi and Ye Taiting in a deadlock.
Ye Taiting, over 70 years old, has become accustomed to commanding everyone, used to being flattered, and used to everyone obeying his orders over the years.
But at this moment, he was even threatened by a young girl like Song Zhizhi!
He glanced at his son.
To ensure his safety, and to avoid any chance of discovery, he had provided very little education to him. Seeing his son now, already completely terrified, he couldn’t help but regret his past decisions at that moment!
He should have kept Yi Wenhan beside him, raised him, and taught him himself!
Like this.
Yi Wenhan has no ability to take the position of heir at all!
His face looked extremely bad. He said to Song Zhizhi, “Fine, I’ll go back to Jin City with you.”
Song Zhizhi did not expect Ye Taiting to compromise so quickly.
Once back in Jin City, Ye Taiting naturally would not dare to lay a finger on her, and of course, she could no longer kill Yi Wenhan.
In fact.
From the moment she couldn’t kill Yi Wenhan, she knew she wouldn’t kill him. She could not kill a person, nor would she let Xiaolang or Wei Ziming be involved in a murder case. It wasn’t worth leaving a lifelong shadow for herself for one Yi Wenhan. There will always be legitimate legal methods to bring Yi Wenhan to justice.
She let Luo Xiaolang lead Yi Wenhan along with Ye Taiting’s pace.
The group moved towards the helicopter.
Just as they were about to board.
Gunshots suddenly rang out around them.
Ye Taiting was taken aback and roared at Qian Guanshu, “Who fired?!”
Qian Guanshu turned his head abruptly at that moment, immediately pushing Ye Taiting to the ground and rolling behind the helicopter himself, shouting to everyone, “It’s an ambush!”
Song Zhizhi’s heart skipped a beat.
Were there others besides Ye Taiting?!
Song Zhizhi also took cover behind the helicopter at that moment.
Luo Xiaolang still had his gun pointed at Yi Wenhan, and he was also on edge, watching all around.
At the moment, the surroundings were filled with gunshots, with casualties everywhere!
Song Zhizhi bit her lip, trying not to be nervous, afraid or trembling.
But she couldn’t control herself.
She couldn’t control her own body.
And she actually knew very well who the ambushers were!
Other than… Ji Baijian, it wouldn’t be anyone else!
When did he arrive, how long had he been hiding, and did he see her running away in such a mess all this time?
Yet he had been hidden in the darkness all this time, never appearing.
The moment she could have left safely, he was again impeding her.
Could it be.
Bullets have no eyes; she could well end up dead among this crowd.
Song Zhizhi’s face turned pale, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
She didn’t know what was happening on the battlefield outside the helicopter. She only heard the brutal sound of gunfire, resounding overhead.
After an unknown amount of time.
Song Zhizhi suddenly sensed someone beside her and turned her head abruptly.
The man pulled her into his arms, and before Song Zhizhi could react, she heard him say in a cold voice, “Luo Xiaolang, bring Yi Wenhan over!”
Luo Xiaolang was stunned.
She watched Song Zhizhi be taken away by the man in the black mask.
Luo Xiaolang hurriedly shackled Yi Wenhan and followed.
Yi Wenhan was already scared witless at this moment, offering no resistance at all, just following along like a puppet.
The surrounding area was still full of gunshots.
The man led Song Zhizhi and Luo Xiaolang, instructing them to board one of the helicopters nearby. He said, “It’s been checked. There’s no problem. Luo Xiaolang, hand Yi Wenhan over to me, you two leave first!”
That said.
The man abruptly pulled Yi Wenhan from Luo Xiaolang’s grasp!
Yi Wenhan was shackled by yet another person.
Luo Xiaolang just stared at this dominant man.
She couldn’t help but feel she was unable to resist his orders.
“I heard you can pilot a helicopter, take Song Zhizhi and go first!” The man ordered directly.
After saying that, he took Ji Baijian and turned to go.
“Ji Baijian!” Song Zhizhi suddenly called out to him.
The man paused.
“Don’t make me have to collect your corpse!”
“Madam, rest assured.” He said.
Then Ji Baijian left directly.
Song Zhizhi watched Ji Baijian’s retreating figure.
Was his leg okay?!
She saw him walk smoothly.
Hearing Song Zhizhi call him Ji Baijian, Luo Xiaolang had no qualms and headed straight for the helicopter cockpit.
He had learned how to fly a helicopter with his master before.
Many skills were taught by his master.
Wait a minute!
The moment Luo Xiaolang started the helicopter, he suddenly froze.
Upon this, Song Zhizhi grabbed him, “Don’t leave yet.”
Luo Xiaolang looked at Song Zhizhi.
“Wei Ziming is still in their hands, I’m not sure if Ji Baijian will save him!”
Luo Xiaolang nodded in agreement.
He nodded steadfastly.
He didn’t want to leave yet either.
He wouldn’t leave until he saw his master return safely!
Luo Xiaolang prepared to go back out.
“Wait.” Song Zhizhi stopped Luo Xiaolang, “Let’s assess the situation first, don’t venture out recklessly.”
Luo Xiaolang restrained himself.
“Right now Ji Baijian has the upper hand, let’s watch and wait!” Song Zhizhi urged Luo Xiaolang.
She didn’t prevent Luo Xiaolang from saving Wei Ziming because the conflict was something she wanted to avoid, otherwise, they would have left already! The reason she didn’t let Luo Xiaolang go was that once Ji Baijian knew he was safe, he would send her away! She couldn’t leave now. Leaving would mean not being able to guarantee Wei Ziming’s safety.
Ji Baijian had already taken advantage of the situation to a certain point, not letting go of this great opportunity, he would certainly not let Ye Taiting go this time!
So it turned out.
Ji Baijian doesn’t just want to kill Yi Wenhan, the one he wants to kill the most is Ye Taiting!
“Trust me, I won’t let Wei Ziming die!” Song Zhizhi pledged.
Luo Xiaolang nodded.
He believed in Song Zhizhi.
Outside the helicopter, gunfire was still rampant.
Both sides had many casualties after enduring a lengthy standoff.
There were bodies sprawled everywhere on the ground.
From a distance, Song Zhizhi could see Ji Baijian holding Yi Wenhan hostage, step by step approaching Ye Taiting and Qian Guanshu, who were cornered with no escape. There were only two members of the Corpse Organization left alive by their side, one of them holding Wei Ziming hostage.
Surrounding Ji Baijian were at least 15 men, while at Ye Taiting’s side, there were only two left.
Clearly, they were thoroughly defeated.
“Who are you?!” Ye Taiting looked at him, “Who are you to lay this trap to kill me!”
“Ye Shengheng, does that ring a bell?” Ji Baijian’s icy voice was slow and deliberate.
Upon hearing this name, Ye Taiting visibly shuddered.
He looked at him in terror, “You are Ye Shengheng?!”
Ji Baijian did not answer, just looked at him.
“No, he’s dead, he’s surely dead!” Ye Taiting said, “Even if he were alive he couldn’t be as young as you! Perhaps, you are his descendant! But no, it’s impossible! He couldn’t have survived under those conditions, absolutely impossible!”
“Nothing is impossible!” scoffed Ji Baijian. He pressed the black gun against Yi Wenhan’s forehead.
Ye Taiting watched in horror.
“Ye Taiting,” Ji Baijian said, “isn’t it about time you experience what it feels like to watch your family die?”
“Let him go!” Ye Taiting shouted, his face blanched.
Ji Baijian was unmoved.
“Let him go! He knows nothing, he doesn’t even know he’s my son! My family’s trouble is not his fault! Let him go! If you want revenge, take it out on me. He’s innocent!” Ye Taiting exclaimed, his voice filled with panic.
“Back then, your family implicated countless lives in our family over the position of heir. Don’t you think you should consider those innocent lives?”
“That was my father’s doing, not mine! I was only 20 years old then, I didn’t know what was happening. This fact has always been my regret in all these years! If you want the position of head of the Ye family, I’ll give it to you. Let Yi Wenhan go, I’ll give you whatever you want!”
“I’ve heard too many of your lies. When Ye Shengheng knelt down to beg you, to secretly help his parents escape, he promised never to seek revenge. He vowed to take his parents and leave Yanshang Country, never to set foot in Jin City again, and to live an ordinary life! Do you remember how you refused him back then?”
Ye Taiting’s complexion turned pale.
How does the man in front of him know so much!
“You said, you wanted to see him in such a poor, desolate state. You were delighted!” His last word held a sinister undertone!
Seeing Ye Taiting arguing, Ji Baijian continued, “No, since you were young you were jealous that he received more recognition from our grandfather than you. You were envious that he was bettered you, you wished him nothing but misery despite him pleading with you. You only mock him when he’s in pain. The tables have turned now.” Ji Baijian spoke, “The tables have turned now!”
