The banquet had not yet ended when the three of them left early.
Both Ye Si and Cheng Jinyan wanted to visit Qiao Ying's seaside villa.
Qiao Ying's villa always left Ye Si and Cheng Jinyan in awe every time they went there, even though they had stayed there for an extended period of time. They simply couldn't get enough of it.
Although both of them had their irises registered in the system for free access, they had never entered the villa when Qiao Ying was not present.
Tonight, the three of them planned to stay there.
Ye Si always made a grand entrance when he traveled, with a convoy of cars resembling a long dragon.
Leaving one car behind after exiting the banquet hall, Ye Si, Cheng Jinyan, and Qiao Ying boarded the car and headed towards the seaside villa.
They didn't bring any subordinates with them, but they had plenty of weapons.
"Where do you think Hunter, that idiot, will ambush us?" Ye Si controlled the steering wheel with one hand and chatted casually.
Cheng Jinyan replied, "Care to wager? Within fifteen minutes?"
Ye Si responded, "Within ten minutes. What about you, darling?"
Qiao Ying, holding a gun and loading bullets one by one, absentmindedly said, "Eight minutes." She seemed to be lost in thought.
Cheng Jinyan suggested, "Chili peppers? Ten pieces?"
Ye Si's face darkened for a moment. "If I win, I'll clear your debt from the previous card game. If you lose, you'll sleep in the garage tonight."
Cheng Jinyan countered, "If you lose, twenty-three pieces together."
Ye Si agreed, saying, "Deal."
Ye Si stepped on the accelerator.
Cheng Jinyan asked, "Does your sudden increase in speed count as cheating?"
Ye Si grinned and said, "Yes, it does. So what?"
As their car reached a commercial street, before they could make a move, a dozen cars suddenly emerged from all directions, swiftly approaching them.
Evidently, they had been waiting for them for quite some time.
The opposing party charged at them aggressively, but Ye Si remained calm and composed, skillfully maneuvering the steering wheel to avoid a direct collision with their car's front end.
With too many enemy vehicles obstructing their movement, their car was forcefully struck from behind, forcing Ye Si to come to a stop. Bullets were fired, but they all hit the car's body. The adversaries seemed hesitant to make a fatal move against Ye Si, given his status, and only intended to display their power.
The car was bulletproof, and only a row of bullet marks remained on its body.
Inside the car, the three of them remained remarkably composed.
"How many minutes?" Ye Si asked.
Cheng Jinyan raised his hand and checked the time on his watch. "Little Shadow wins. It serves you right for speeding."
Ye Si took out his gun and loaded the bullets. "If it's darling who wins, I have no objections~"
As he spoke, he rolled down the car window and fired his gun, hitting the person who had just gotten out of the car opposite them.
Hunter, wary of Ye Si's power, didn't dare to do anything to him. He couldn't touch Ye Si and could only vent his anger on Qiao Ying. Moreover, he wanted to save face, so he only intended to take Qiao Ying away.
When Hunter saw that Ye Si hadn't brought any subordinates, he cursed Ye Si for being foolish. He never expected that Ye Si would retaliate.
How could Ye Si, with so few people, dare to do such a thing?
A gun battle erupted on the commercial street, and the crowd scattered in panic.
Ye Si knew that Hunter wouldn't dare to touch him, but he didn't give Hunter any chance to speak and immediately took action.
Hunter got out of the car and narrowly avoided getting shot in the head. He hid behind his subordinates, seeking cover behind the car.
Gunfire rang out around him, accompanied by the sound of bodies hitting the ground.
Hunter glanced over and saw that most of his men were dead or injured.
He was shocked and wondered how could there be such a fierce firepower from only four people on the other side? Or had he miscalculated? Had Ye Si been prepared all along?
Continuing like this would undoubtedly lead to trouble.
Hunter didn't want to escalate the situation.
"Gavin!" he shouted the name of Ye Si, and ordered his men to stop firing. Once the gunfire ceased, he limped out from behind the car.
To his surprise, there were only three people on the opposite side.
Hunter found it hard to believe, but he maintained a calm demeanor, relying on the advantage of having more people. He shouted at Ye Si, "Gavin, I don't want to be your enemy. I just want this despicable woman." Hunter glared fiercely at Qiao Ying.
"Hand her over to me, and I guarantee that you and your friends won't have any trouble. Otherwise, don't blame my men for showing no mercy."
Hunter was brave but lacked strategy, yet he still had some redeeming qualities.
Losing face in front of so many people, it was normal for him to want to regain his reputation and seek revenge.
However, he had made a serious mistake.
His gravest error was that from the beginning, he had treated Qiao Ying as one of Ye Si's many women.
Hunter had no idea what Qiao Ying meant to Ye Si.
Calling her a despicable woman was undoubtedly seeking death.
Ye Si was furious and cursed at Hunter in Chinese, "I fuck your mother!" He immediately pointed his gun at Hunter.
Terrified, Hunter pulled his subordinate in front of him, using him as a shield from the bullet, while he himself hid behind the car.
"Gavin, have you gone mad? You want to kill me for a woman? I'm the president's own nephew. Do you still want to survive in Country M?!" Hunter was filled with fear, his heart in a panic.
He had always known that Ye Si held significant power in Country M, to the extent that even his uncle, the president, had to give Ye Si face. But he never expected Ye Si to dare to be so lawless.
To disregard his background and attempt to kill him.
Qiao Ying held a shotgun in her hands, raising it with both hands as she confidently approached. With a crisp sound, she loaded a bullet and aimed directly at the fuel tank of the car where Hunter was hiding. She fired a shot.
A loud bang followed, and an explosion occurred.
Despite his subordinates' timely warning, Hunter couldn't dodge in time and was injured by the blast.
His subordinates helped him up, and he was in a state of shock. At this point, he no longer wanted revenge, urging his men to take him away quickly.
How could Ye Si possibly let him leave? He shot and killed the men supporting Hunter, then continued to chase after Hunter, who was limping away, toying with him like he would with a dog.
Qiao Ying and Cheng Jinyan easily dealt with the remaining people.
Ye Si seemed to grow tired of the game and shot Hunter's leg.
Hunter collapsed to the ground, only then realizing that the gunfire had stopped.
When he turned his head, he saw Ye Si standing not far away, calmly reloading his gun. Qiao Ying and Cheng Jinyan each held a shotgun, standing behind Ye Si, coldly observing him.
The once bustling and lively street was now devoid of any passersby. His subordinates and cars were scattered all over the ground.
Hunter, disregarding his image, crawled on the ground with all his injuries, looking back at Ye Si in terror.
He saw Ye Si finish reloading his gun and point it at him.
Heng Te was instantly terrified, his limbs going numb, rendering him unable to move. He swallowed hard and beads of cold sweat covered his face. "Y-you can't kill me. My uncle won't let you get away with this."
Ye Si ignored him and pulled the trigger directly.
The gunshot rang out, and Heng Te was so scared that he closed his eyes. But in the next second, he heard a loud "bang" as an explosion erupted.
Heng Te felt a wave of heat rushing towards him.
Terrified, he instinctively recoiled and hastily opened his eyes, only to see the car beside him being destroyed, engulfed in roaring flames.
Before Heng Te could react,
Qiao Ying followed suit, raising his gun and shooting at the fuel tank of another car, successfully causing it to explode as well.
Cheng Jinyan joined in.
The three of them targeted the fuel tanks of the cars, and with each gunshot, there was an explosion. One car after another went up in flames, and the three of them reveled in the chaos.
The explosions echoed incessantly.
In the blinding moment of each explosion, the flames reached the sky.
Heng Te, lying on the ground, was scared out of his wits. His mind went blank as he watched the three people's manic actions, feeling that they were all lunatics.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them had blown up all of Heng Te's dozen or so cars, leaving behind only burning car frames, with crackling and popping sounds of fire surrounding Heng Te.
Ye Si's dangerous warning resounded, "If I hear you utter a single word in front of me again, I'll rip out your tongue."
The sound of sirens blared.
When the police arrived at the scene of the wreckage, amidst the crackling and popping of the fire, they could only hear Heng Te's cries for help.
The whereabouts of the three individuals were already unknown.
The black silhouette drove through this city of freedom.
Loud music blared inside the car, and the three of them chatted casually, discussing what late-night snacks they would have later...
