Of course, Chi Yan would not let himself be caught so easily. He grabbed a chair and threw it at the man, then took the opportunity to jump onto the balcony through a windowless window. Another man in black downstairs seemed to have heard the commotion and turned around, puzzled, walking up.
"Don't run!"
Chi Yan rushed towards the stairs, with a man in white chasing after him. As Chi Yan was about to descend to the first floor, the black-clothed man who had been walking upstairs saw him and immediately tried to grab him. Chi Yan kicked him directly, and as the man almost fell down the stairs, Chi Yan ran past him.
"Bang!" the sound of a gunshot. "Don't move. Or I'll shoot."
Chi Yan immediately froze, raising his hands. He never expected this group of people to have guns.
In the distance, on the road, the driver who hadn't left yet was startled by the sound and wondered what had happened. Was that a gunshot? It couldn't be the girl from earlier, could it?
The driver hesitated but thought it was unlikely there would be gunshots.
On Chi Yan's side, he turned around to see the black-clothed man pointing a gun at him. The white-clothed man then came over with a rope and tied Chi Yan's hands again, even kicking him in the stomach, causing Chi Yan to double over in pain.
"I told you not to run!" the white-clothed man scolded.
The black-clothed man also looked at Chi Yan with a ferocious expression as the white-clothed man beat him.
Chu Yang, from a corner, happened to witness this scene. How dare they hit her boyfriend? Those ignorant fools!
Chu Yang bent down, grabbed a large rock, and used her Witchcraft to throw it at the black-clothed man's hand. His hand suddenly felt pain, and he loosened his grip, dropping the gun to the ground. Chi Yan seized the opportunity, headbutting the white-clothed man. As the man clutched his head in pain, Chi Yan swiftly kicked the gun away, then jumped up and kicked the black-clothed man to the ground, howling in pain.
The white-clothed man lunged at him, but Chu Yang struck his head with another rock, causing it to bleed.
Chu Yang waved at Chi Yan, "Yan, run!"
Chi Yan, startled to see Chu Yang, quickly ran towards her, struggling to free his hands from the ropes.
Chu Yang ran with him, and Chi Yan sounded urgent, "Yang, why did you come? It's dangerous here. Let's run quickly; they have guns."
As they ran, Chu Yang helped him untie the ropes, and the two headed for the bushes. The man who had gone to the restroom also returned upon hearing the commotion. The three of them chased after Chu Yang and Chi Yan, with one of them still holding a gun. "Damn it, don't let them get away. Just shoot them dead."
"Don't be rash! We still need the money."
"The money's gone now!"
The three big men were fast, quickly catching up to Chu Yang and Chi Yan. One of them even raised his gun. Chi Yan turned around and immediately tackled Chu Yang to the ground, rolling a few times as a bullet grazed past them, kicking up a small cloud of dust.
Chi Yan immediately pulled Chu Yang up, and they ran ahead, catching sight of the small path. The driver was still there, listening to music. He had planned to rest for ten minutes and stay a little longer, but then he heard gunshots again.
The driver rolled down the window and looked towards the bushes but couldn't see anything. Were there hunters shooting birds? But wasn't that illegal?
The driver felt increasingly puzzled.
However, it wasn't long before two people suddenly ran out of the bushes. Seeing the driver still there, Chu Yang pulled Chi Yan into the car and shouted, "Mister, drive quickly!"
The driver was stunned for a moment, not comprehending the situation. Then he saw a man holding a gun running out of the bushes. Holy shit!
The driver slammed on the pedal, and the car sped off.
They could still hear gunshots from behind, "Bang! Bang! Bang!" The driver, in a panic, floored the accelerator.
Seeing they couldn't catch up, the black-clothed man slapped the white-clothed man. "How did you misjudge them?"
The white-clothed man retorted, "Like you didn't have any responsibility?"
At that moment, Chi Xin's car also arrived, and his secretary said, "Boss, they have guns."
Chi Xin made a gesture, "Drive straight at them! Let Zhou Ye capture them." The secretary immediately relayed the order through his earpiece.
The driver in the front car floored the accelerator, heading straight for the three men. Terrified, they jumped aside, breaking out in a cold sweat. As they got up, they cursed, "What kind of driving is that?"
The car stopped, and several black-suited men got out of the vehicles. Sensing danger, the three men exchanged glances and ran into the bushes.
Zhou Ye gestured for his men to pursue them.
On Chu Yang's side, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and checked Chi Yan up and down. "Are you hurt anywhere?"
Chi Yan shook his head, holding her hand. "I'm fine, don't worry."
The driver also wiped away his sweat. "Miss, what happened? Were you guys..."
Chu Yang said gratefully, "Thank you, mister driver. My boyfriend was kidnapped by those people earlier, and I came to rescue him."
The driver was shocked. "Kidnapped? Did you... call the police?"
"I did," Chu Yang nodded, then told Chi Yan, "Yan, your uncle should be here."
Chi Yan asked, "Does my uncle know they have guns? How many people did he bring?"
Chu Yang frowned, worried about what would happen if Chi Yan's uncle got into trouble. She then said to the driver, "Mister driver, could you please take us back?"
Of course, the driver refused. "Miss, we should call the police. It's too dangerous."
On the other side, Chi Yan didn't insist on going back either. "Yang, let me borrow your phone to make a call."
Chu Yang, also anxious, had forgotten about calling. "Here."
Chi Yan called Chi Xin, and after a brief conversation, he hung up and returned the phone to Chu Yang. "It's fine; the police have arrived, and my uncle brought many men. They've already captured those few people." He explained that the men had fled, and their people were in pursuit.
Chu Yang nodded, but just to be sure, she used her Witchcraft to scan the area. She then sent Chi Xin's uncle a text message: Those three men are currently hiding in the basement of that dilapidated building.
On Chi Xin's side, they hadn't found anyone and were about to retreat when Chu Yang's message arrived. He then informed the police officers.
In the end, they did indeed find the three men in the basement of the dilapidated building.
"I didn't expect there to be a basement here."
"None of us noticed it."
"And they even had guns. They must be big fish."
...
After the incident, Chu Yang took Chi Yan to the hospital for a checkup, as she had seen the white-clothed man hit him and was worried about internal injuries.
The driver received a generous reward, first from Chi Yan, then another from Chi Xin. Not only that, but he also received praise from the police officers. The driver felt he had reached the pinnacle of his life.
The police also caught their fish and interrogated them, extracting some information.
