Wang Jiwang pushed the bedroom door forward, only to find it locked.
Without hesitation, he kicked the door open.
The four of them filed in, all entering the bedroom, wary that the girl from the Chihua Association might still have a trick up her sleeve.
However, the expected danger did not materialize. The four of them merely saw the girl standing quietly by the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel.
Yan Shouyi said in a deep voice, "Surrender and come back with us."
Tian Jue'er stared at Yan Shouyi for a moment, then surprisingly shook her head.
Huh?
The four of them were a little confused, as if they weren't asking her, were they?
Did shaking her head help? Would shaking her head make them let her go?
Luo Ning was also a girl, so she didn't need to be gentle with the other girl.
She surged forward and reached out to grab Tian Jue'er.
The next second, Tian Jue'er turned around without hesitation, slipped through the gap in the floor-to-ceiling window, and jumped out of the building right before the four of them stood there, dumbfounded!
"Wh-what's going on?"
Wang Jiwang was stunned and looked back at the others, "Are we putting that much pressure on them?"
Jumping off the building without a word, that's a bit too drastic, isn't it?
Besides, weren't you from the Chihua Association the ones who caused trouble and started the conflict in the first place? Now that we've come looking for you, you should have some sense of what's going on!
Tian Jue'er's jump was completely unexpected by the four of them, so for a moment, they were all stunned, not knowing what to do next.
Yan Shouyi was the first to regain his senses. He turned around directly:
"Go down and look. Alive or dead, bring her back!"
The other three quickly recovered.
Jumping off the building sounded absurd at first, but upon calm reflection, something felt off.
Were there any ordinary people in the Chihua Association, let alone someone who was a key protected figure?
Either the girl had an immortal body and it didn't matter if she jumped, or she could fly!
So the four of them immediately went downstairs, even if they could only find Tian Jue'er's corpse, they had to bring it back!
...
In a garden below the Financial Building.
With a splat, a figure descended from the sky, falling into a flower bed, mangled.
But because it was dark all around and no one was passing by, no one discovered the fall immediately.
After about two minutes, the bloody figure on the ground suddenly began to move, struggling to "tear" itself off the ground.
Due to the immense force, Tian Jue'er had almost embedded herself into the lawn. Although she managed to get up now, she was still unrecognizable, with shredded flesh scattered around her.
Despite enduring immense pain, facing the impending freedom, Tian Jue'er endured the agony and got up, limping outwards.
She hadn't walked a few steps when she suddenly saw Wu Tianfeng and the Left Protector running towards her direction with furious expressions not far away.
It was clear that the events on the 81st floor had alerted Wu Tianfeng and the Left Protector.
Once Wu Tianfeng discovered Tian Jue'er, her freedom would be stripped away again. The death of the Right Protector would enrage Wu Tianfeng, and even more terrifying torment would await Tian Jue'er.
Tian Jue'er quickly lowered her body, afraid of being seen by Wu Tianfeng.
But at this moment, the Left Protector frowned and couldn't help but look in Tian Jue'er's direction.
"This is bad!"
Tian Jue'er felt scared. She had a strong smell of blood on her, and the Left Protector must have smelled it.
The Left Protector said something to Wu Tianfeng, and Wu Tianfeng immediately walked in Tian Jue'er's direction.
His target was very clear, so clear as if he could see Tian Jue'er!
Tian Jue'er crouched down, hiding her small body behind the flower bed. Due to extreme tension, her mangled hands tightly gripped the loamy soil in the flower bed.
Suddenly, a black van screeched to a halt in front of her, and the car door facing Tian Jue'er was violently opened.
Inside was a woman with an exaggerated figure. The woman extended her hand to Tian Jue'er: "Get in!"
Tian Jue'er looked at this stranger, hesitant to get in, fearing she might escape one den only to fall into another.
Seeing this, the woman snorted, "Either come with me, or be taken back by Wu Tianfeng. You choose!"
Being taken back by Wu Tianfeng?
Tian Jue'er gritted her teeth. Yes, there was no outcome worse than being taken back by Wu Tianfeng, right?
So she immediately reached out her hand and was pulled into the car by the woman.
The woman closed the car door and kicked the shut-in driving in front: "Drive, hurry up!"
The shut-in adjusted his glasses and stepped on the gas, speeding away.
The car had just left when Wu Tianfeng and the Left Protector arrived at the flower bed where Tian Jue'er had fallen.
Seeing the deep pit on the ground, as well as the scattered flesh and bloodstains, Wu Tianfeng seemed to realize something, his face showing anger:
"Tian Jue'er has been taken away!"
The Left Protector was also furious, "The Research Association has made a move. We don't know how the Right Protector is doing!"
The two immediately returned to the Financial Building and went straight to the 81st floor.
When they arrived at the 81st floor, they found all their men incapacitated. In the presidential suite, the Right Protector's head and body were separated, dead beyond further death.
Upon seeing this, Wu Tianfeng trembled with rage.
He had always been the one to scheme against others. When had he, Wu Tianfeng, ever been schemed against?
It was one thing that the Right Protector was dead, but Tian Jue'er, whom Wu Tianfeng had always regarded as a plaything and personal property, was also missing.
Tian Jue'er was Wu Tianfeng's private possession, a cauldron he had held back for many years. How could he let others benefit from her!
The Left Protector looked at the Right Protector's corpse and remained silent, anger also visible in his eyes.
After all, they had worked together for many years, and there was some sentiment between them.
"Left Protector, immediately contact the General Association and bring more manpower. I want to have the Research Association disbanded!" Wu Tianfeng gritted his teeth.
The Left Protector silently walked out and began contacting people.
...
Meanwhile, Yan Shouyi and the others had already arrived downstairs.
After investigating the surroundings, they also discovered the deep pit in the flower bed but could not find Tian Jue'er.
"She really had a way to protect herself, no wonder she jumped so decisively just now!" Wang Jiwang said angrily.
"Looking at the situation in the flower bed, she must have been injured. She shouldn't have escaped far, but she was gone by the time we got down, and there were no bloodstains around," Yan Shouyi frowned, "Could someone have been waiting for her?"
A Gong looked around but found no other clues.
Luo Ning said, "No matter what, we have managed to deal a heavy blow to the Chihua Association. Although we didn't catch their leader, we have at least shown them our strength and attitude."
A Gong asked, "What do we do next?"
Yan Shouyi sighed. He actually wished he could have captured that girl, so that both sides could have met and spoken frankly.
Not catching her today had, in another sense, intensified the conflict between the two sides.
"Old Wang, until this matter is resolved, the Research Association will suspend new recruitments. Also, strengthen the defensive forces around the Research Association. I have a feeling that the Chihua Association might not let this go."
